This lone male Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), was seen relaxing on an anthill early in the morning just after sunrise. He later stood up and scanned the savannah plains looking for his breakfast which was no where nearby.
Cheetahs normally sit in a vantage point to view the surrounding area for any small prey which they are quick to chase down.
This lovely male Cheetah was photographed early in the morning in the Musiara area of Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
In August of 1972, Jim Shaw captured the Sacramento Northern Railway's Tarke Branch local heading compass west (but timetable east) near Sutter, California. The covered hopper was likely consigned to Tarke Warehouse for dried bean loading, while the lumber load would have been for Close Lumber in Sutter.
SN 401 was an EMC SW1 (serial number 906; ex-WP 501, nee EMC 906). It was the Western Pacific Railroad's first diesel locomotive, having been purchased from Electro-Motive Corporation in 1939 after a demonstration tour on the WP. It has survived and is now at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, California, painted as WP 501.
Now abandoned, the Tarke Branch was a remnant of the old Northern Electric/Sacramento Northern Colusa Branch, a third rail-powered interurban line. Today, this section of the line is a bike path connecting Sutter with Yuba City.
~ It was at this moment that I was noticed.
An attempt to take a pigeon out of the air failed, and I was spotted while panning and snapping a series of about 12 shots.

G-ALDC, Falcon Airways Handley Page HP.81 Hermes 4A and partially G-ALDA.
G-ALDC was damaged beyond repair around a year after this photo was taken. When landing at Southend on 09 October 1950 it overran the runway, struck an earth bank breaking the nosewheel leg and finally came to rest on a railway track.
G-ALDA was to be the last Hermes in commercial use retiring in 1964.
Three scans in one day! I was going to save this, but as I'd mentioned it earlier it seemed appropriate to include it now!
My brother, John, and I look rather serious here, but we were enjoying time in the garden of the cottage on the edge of Shaftesbury. The cottage was quite old fashioned, but we loved the garden!

There's nothing like pushing your luck, taken with a long lens in murky conditions on 400 ASA film stock in a 35mm camera 37109 heads away from the Alumina import terminal at North Blyth with the afternoon trip to the Alcan smelter at Lynemouth, an operation that seemed like it would last for ever at the time. Taken in 2004, I have no other information as the accompanying notes for this roll were lost, taken iirc with a 300 or 400mm lens.

The Stones song "Shattered" came to mind when I scanned this slide. GP38-2 2633 (still on the roster today?) eventually received a new horn and paint job.

Here is the result from a home made 40W lightbulb-tupperware lid-macro lens scanner (which I actually like better) : )
