EB CN grain train G898 is on its knees as it climbs out of the Mississippi River valley. The train is cresting the highest elevation on the railroad ( in the state of Illinois ) at Scales Mound. The train could be heard 15 minutes before it arrived. Thanks to Craig for the intel.

I would have preferred a 50mm shot off the road bridge that I am on, but there is a thick wire going across the tracks. I am standing on the roof of my truck, in order to get above the wire. No way to get below the wire.

The earlier faves are gone. This is because I set the image to private for a moment.

This waterfall is fed by an overflow system from Scaling Reservoir, in North Yorkshire. Heavy rain has given a nice flow and though I've not been, for many years, I thought I'd visit today.

From time to time i post these scale comparissons.

Old Sets make us feel nostalgic - but i also think that overall the scale back then helped a lot. A 4 wide car compared to a 6 wide train made sense. The Vehicles were not as big as today (8w Speed champs!), used less parts - but still, they felt right. Using modern elements you can get a higher level of detail in a similar scale, which is known as 1/43 - 1/45 scale. Once you see a proportinate Minifigure next to the Minifigs we have today since the 1970ies, you can see why a smaller scale is actually better (except playvalue!).

If you do cars 4-5 wide, Trucks 6-7 wide and Trains 8 wide - you are technically in the proper minifig scale (height based!).

Just above the crashing waves of the Hyrule shores, the intrepid warrior Link carefully climbs his way upward. If nothing else, carrying his sword, shield, and his vast assortment of "adventuring equipment" must make for quite the workout here.

Dettifoss waterfall Iceland, situated in northeastern Iceland, not far from Mývatn.

You see the falling Jökulsá á Fjöllum river, which comes from the Vatnajökull glacier and collects water from a large area in north-east Iceland. Dettifoss is the most powerful waterfalls in Europe, having a flow between 200.000 and 500.000 litres per second !!! The falls are 100 m wide and have a drop of 44 m down to the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.

WOW...makes your hands shiver

The Peterbuilt doesn't look so big when compared it to the Galaxy C-5's engines. The Galaxy C-5 is the world's largest military airplane. This one and the ones in the background are in storage at the Aircraft Maintenance and Regeneration Group, Tuscon, Arizona. At the time I took this picture (2012) there were over four thousand US military aircraft being stored here, and they are all wrapped for protection from the elements. I did some research and this particular airplane (0466) seems to still be there.

I thought I'd have an outing before my area goes in to Covid Tier 3 tomorrow. Revisited Scale Haw Force hoping, this time, for some autumnal colours but suspect I'd missed the best of it.

Fish check in progress ... I think I have that same look when staring at a bowl of hot apple pie and ice cream :)

Weights can be evaluated only in comparison. Too much thoughts lately, it will change soon :)

I guess that ferry carries several cars, but it looks like a kids' toy on the picture.

Many types of calipers permit reading out a measurement on a ruled scale, a dial, or a digital display. Wikipedia

I went to so many waterfalls in Iceland that I can't remember the name of this one. The sun was up creating intense contrast - a difficult shot. Pictured here with photographer Steve Bell balanced on a rock to give it a bit of scale

Bornean Keeled Pitviper (Tropidolaemus subannulatus) - Malua Forest Reserve, Malaysia

A T. subannulatus from the Malaysian Rainforest in Borneo. This is probably the most common viper species in Borneo but this individual has a somewhat unusual color atleast when compared to the others which I encountered. This one had more of a blueish tint to its scales which made it a rather strikingly colored snake. By playing around with my lighting I was able to get a shot which really showed off the texture of the scales.

This was the first time on this trip I could stop and take all my toys from the car with enough time to enjoy.

I was designated driver at the time, my co-driver happily sleeping as the sun came up on this glorious vista. Took a while to find a safe parking spot so missed the 'Golden time' but hey, I'm not complaining. More to follow.

This is part of the front scale from a Remington 12 typewriter, from the early 20th century. The numbers reflect the scale of 10 characters per inch, with each minor tick representing the width of one character - one-tenth of an inch.
