N3761R, a Boeing 737-832, on approach to runway 24L at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario.

 

It was arriving as DAL2957 (Delta Air Lines, Inc.) from Atlanta, Georgia.

 

Serial number 29628 first flew on September 21, 2001 and was delivered to Delta on December 20, 2001.

 

It is seen here wearing the special SkyTeam Airline Alliance livery. Delta became a founding member of that major airline alliance on June 22, 2000.

A pair of EF Class locomotives guide train 225 southwards through Ohakune Station. 30203 is leading, wearing the present day KiwiRail colour scheme The trailing unit (30071) is painted in the TranzRail "bumblebee" scheme, albeit without the large "TR" logos worn by her classmates.

 

The section of the North Island Main Trunk between Te Rapa and Palmerston North is electrified and some of the freight trains on this section are hauled by the EF Class electrics, whilst others are hauled by diesels (avoiding the need to switch locomotives twice between Auckland and Wellington).

 

In December 2016, it was announced that the class were to be withdrawn and replaced with DL Class diesel-electric locomotives.

Self-portrait. Part of a series I did for my photography class final. I'm going to be releasing the other photos over the next few days. I wanted to do sort of a continuation series of this photo I took awhile ago: www.flickr.com/photos/jake179/8402543877/

 

The series is based around murder, suicide, guns, betrayal, and pain. It's quite different and more raw than my usual work. Starting to realize that sometimes a photo can be simple and still be powerful. Less is more.. As usual, I'd love to hear any feedback!

Chibisuke worker frame based on the amazing render/design by Lobolabo.

In their take the its a cargo tug (literally) with rear facing arms and thruster legs, but I reinterpreted it as a hermit crab like design mobile worker. Its movement resembles that of a squid propelling itself backwards instead of forwards. Definitely an Ijad style frame, and probably the only decent one I've done (other than my beloved spiky turtle, RIP).

The cargo shell would make a great defensive system, but I tried a take with more standard armament as well.

Vanquish Photography Photo of the Year 2019 - Number 9

This tidy looking 2003 Fiesta had only 29,000 miles showing at the last MOT and was with its last owner from 2004. The MOT expired in July 2019 and it hasn't been submitted since. Assuming that the car hasn't had severe damage (which it doesn't appear to have) it seems criminal to scrap it, especially when this is justified in the name of environmentalism.

This dealership sells Ford, Fiat, and Mazda. I wonder what model you have to buy to get a £6,000 discount?

Howl - Military uniforms & cap

It's me! Tim actually took his photo out when we had our walk last weekend and this is a photo he took of me on the newly renovated walkway around Southsea Castle.

 

Here's so info on Bernard de Gomme, Military Engineer:

In May 1662 King Charles II paid two visits to Portsmouth; the latter, on the 21st May went down in history as the day that the king married Catherine of Braganza at Government House and easily overshadowed the former, on the 18th May, when Charles met with his Chief Military Engineer Sir Bernard de Gomme to discuss progress on the refortification of Portsmouth.

Although de Gomme had discussed the defence of Portsmouth with the king in May 1662 it wasn't until 1665 that extensive work was put in hand, this period of construction lasting five years until 1670. A second bout of work began in 1677 and again lasted five years. The result was one of the most fortified towns in the whole kingdom, rivalled only by Berwick.

Published in American Home in 1928, this bathroom was one of the more exotic designs featuring higher end fixtures and tile.

This was one of the options under consideration for the new Easyjet colour scheme. The management team wanted to see how it looked on the aircraft. Another scheme was eventually chosen...Geneva 17/05/15

... hoping that come Saturday, I still have the nerve!!

I'm thinking of using red oak stain for the door. I wonder if that would be too dark? The grey on the wall is travertine from Valspar's Signature line.

Read it and weep.

Red: 390mm

Orange: 180mm

Yellow: 95mm

Green: 76mm

Light green: 50mm

Blue: gun, tracks

Light blue: road wheels, 150mm Light purple: 50mm spaced

Purple: 400-250mm spaced armour. Mantlet is 380mm with 250mm behind.

This would have made a very dramatic room, and it was good fun to paint, but I was worried that the lady I am decorating the house for would find it a bit dark. I know that her taste in furniture is very feminine and light so have abandoned this in favour of something that will work better with her collection (see next photo). Maybe another time...

Nangkita and the Village Irrigation Scheme.

One of the most amazing episodes of SA history occurred with the setting up of communistic village irrigation schemes. Partly as a response to the great depression of the early 1890s and high unemployment the SA government made amendments to the Crown Lands Act in 1893 to allow communes to set up villages along the River Murray and elsewhere. Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, New Zealand and Canada all had similar acts at that time. Eleven village communities were set up along the River Murray and one at Melrose in the Southern Flinders Ranges and one at Nangkita near Mt Compass on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The communes leased Crown Land from the government. The rules were fairly uniform across the villages and the control of the villages rested with the village Trustees, not the government. Single members paid around £40 to join a commune and couples around £60. They were allotted 5 acres of land or more to grow crops and produce fruit. No unmarried people could cohabit; no alcohol was allowed. Both these regulations were flouted. Jealousies and rivalries doomed most villages and all were hamstrung because they seldom could raise sufficient money to install a large enough pumps for irrigation or they found work cooperation difficult. The communes ran up huge debts for which the government was ultimately responsible! The most successful villages were along the River Murray where they moved away from a commune type settlement to individual perpetual leases and a form of village cooperative. Overall the program was a disaster and many communes disappeared quickly in the mid-1890s. In 1900 they held a Royal Commission into the scheme which proposed closing down the scheme. The 1902 Village Settlement Act repealed the 1893 legislation. Most villages closed down in 1903. By the end of 1894 across all the Village Settlement schemes there were 1,748 people living on the settlements in 389 houses with 5,602 acres cleared and with 2,623 acres planted in wheat. Within this one year works had been constructed to provide 305 irrigated acres with vines, citrus and stone fruit trees, 43 irrigated acres in potatoes and 27 irrigated acres in vegetables with 1,063 chains of irrigation channels built.

 

Nangkita was not one of the successful settlement villages. The land was allotted along the swampy but fertile river flats of Tookayerta Creek which flows down to Currency Creek and Lake Alexandrina. Although the Hundred of Nangkita had been declared in 1846 little surveying was undertaken in the Hundred until the 1890s because it was so swampy. Mt Compass district was surveyed in 1892. The settlement began in 1894 and one of the first structures was a stone chimney and wattle and daub walls for a Methodist Church. The state government rented this church for use as a weekday state school from the end of July 1895. The school opened in 1895 and the church began services in 1894. Today all that remains of this structure is the stone fireplace. There are few structures left from the entire village settlement scheme in South Australia except for a chimney flue at Pyap and an old school room at Kingston-on-Murray.

 

In February 1894 125 people signed up to form the village settlement including 25 men and their families from Port Adelaide. 1,600 acres of land was granted initially by the government with a further 500 acres promised in six months’ time. The first settlers arrived in March 1894 by train to Strathalbyn and then overland with horses, cattle, supplies and tents. Tobacco seeds were distributed at the end of April for planting but before this could occur the hard work of clearing reeds, ti-trees and wattles was required. The first roofed house was completed in late May. The settlers at Nangkita planted tobacco, potatoes and onions but they only managed to harvest the tobacco. They had greater success with the vines and fruit trees that they planted but a harvest was still years away for that. By March 1895 500 aces had been fenced, a new 7 acre crop of potatoes planted and almost an acre of onions and maize. A 60 acre crop of wheat was also planted in the winter 1895. But by November 1895 there were only 9 settlers families left of the original 25 families. The debts of those remaining was over £100 per person. The debt to the government was far exceeding any income of the settlement despite the hard work of the settlers. By June 1896 the future of the village settlement was in doubt. To increase income the village settlement tried a crop of flax but by January 1897 the village settlement had collapsed and was over. It was abandoned but some stayed on leased farm blocks and the state school and Methodist church persisted. Gradually the district was settled by freeholders and leaseholders with some money of their own. The memorial cairn at the church site in Nangkita was erected in 1994 the centenary of the settlement. The school closed in 1931 but reopened in 1936 in the new Methodist Church built a mile or so down the road. The Nangkita school finally closed in 1963.

 

I came up with this idea of design upon unexpectedly explore (Patupat) a native delicacy of provinces especially in northern part of Luzon guess the same weave could be seen all over the country as part of daily lives.

 

Could be use as a special livery or commemorative occassion of such province.

 

Any bus company would love to use it please email me...

Take a glimpse on my ACTUAL WORK

Halton Grove.

 

The RAF Apprentice scheme was founded in 1920 by Lord Trenchard, “The Father”’ of the Royal Air Force. This grove commemorates those boys who were trained at No. 1 School of Technical Training RAF Halton as skilled technicians and administrators, known affectionally as “Trenchards’ Brats”.

 

The centrepiece of the grove represents the famous RAF Apprentice “Wheel” badge.

 

We remember them with pride and sorrow our colleagues who made the supreme sacrifice during WWII and those lost in earlier and later campaigns.

 

“When beech leaves are falling, where-e’er we may roam, old memories come calling of Halton and home.”

 

The National Memorial Arboretum is a national site of remembrance at Alrewas, near Lichfield, Staffordshire, United Kingdom. It gives its purpose as:

 

The National Memorial Arboretum honours the fallen, recognises service and sacrifice and fosters pride in our country. It is a spiritually uplifting place and is emerging as a world-renowned centre for remembrance.

 

The Arboretum is an evolving, maturing woodland landscape featuring 30,000 trees and a vast collection of memorials. The 150-acre site is a living, growing tribute to those who have served and continue to serve our country.

 

Another dull day outside meant it was time for some more indoor photography. Todays subjects were a handful of colouring pencils.

 

At this rate I am going to run out of items round the house to shoot!

NO group invites of any kind, .......... would be very kind thank you.

Another Fleetline to stay local was this East Yorkshire one, which was acquired by the Hull Community Play Scheme in 1984, after having been taken out of service by EYMS in 1981. It served as the 'Humber Bus' for 5 years, and was then sold to a Barnsley dealer in 1989, but appears to have escaped the crusher, and was owned (but not necessarily used) by someone else until early 1994. No idea who this was - possibly an aborted preservation attempt - but any new information would be welcome.

 

The 'Beverley Bar' roof of its Park Royal body is hardly noticeable in its typically garish paint scheme.

Another photo from the coastal scheme currently taking place in Portsmouth. (I was going to upload two but my other photo keeps timing out for some unknown reason! Will try again later)

 

This is where the newly opened section starts. They are working on this area now, so there's no access, but I had a sneaky peek through the railings towards Clarence Pier and Gosport in the distance. You can see the Upside Down House on the pier!

The whole lot's going to come tumbling down.
