Spotted in the compound that Nottingham Coaches seemingly share was this 21 year old Wright Eclipse!
As the interior would suggest, this vehicle was new to Lothian, interestingly as part of the first batch of Wrightbus vehicles ordered. In this fleet she was numbered 115.
Just in front of the wheel arches on this bus are some cut out diagonal sections in the paneling. This was intentional as 115 was branded up for Lothian's route 22 during the mid 2000s, which at the time, used the "Edinburgh Fastlink" guided busway. As a result, guide wheels were fitted to 115 though these were later removed when the busway was converted to tramway.
By 2018, 115 was withdrawn from the main fleet and was sat looking rather sorry for herself in Marine garage. Surprisingly in late 2019 however, 115 was resurrected and returned to service, albeit in a base white livery and unusually for Lothian, was fitted with orange LED destination blinds. This suggested that 115 would soon be up for sale and by September 2020, 115 had been sold to Nottingham Coaches, where she's been operating since.
I'm quite glad that I've managed to snap this bus as Nottingham Coaches vehicles are somewhat elusive. The fact it's a Euro 3 with a Voith gearbox as opposed to the usual ZF Ecomat makes it all the more interesting!
The seemingly endless rainstorms have ended in Northern California. People are out and about again. Today, I visited several new-to-me Pacific Coast beaches not far from home. Here, at Pomponio State Beach, I met a nice park ranger named Elizabeth. In this photo, she's looking out at her office for the day. It’s a little different than the offices that most of us are used to.
Seemingly always on the move, a Red-breasted Nuthatch momentarily pauses at the top of a branch before carrying on with its busy lifestyle.
A seemingly recently washed NR85 looks splendid in the morning light as it leads AN6 & NR113 downgrade into Picton while working Pacific National’s 2MB4 intermodal service. Tuesday, 14th June 2022.
45031 has just come through the centre road heading a special and seemingly taking the Leeds line at Challoners Whin Junction. 55013 The Black Watch is preparing to leave with the 18.58 to Kings Cross. 18 June 1978
Red-spotted Purple butterfly taking nectar from a Spiny Teasel floret.
Common and seemingly more abundant this year.
Colas Rail HST power car no. 43277 seen at Derby RTC, seemingly mid way through repaint into its new house colours. Presumably this’ll work test trains soon. Taken through the RTC Business Centre car park fence with my trusty phone; as I work on the RTC I have permission to enter the premises.
Seemingly every group of society had something different to say today. After manoeuvring my bicycle across a Corona conspiracy theory crowd, I was surprised to run into a FDJ (=Freie Deutsche Jugend, "Free German Youth") protest. A millenial actually asked me whether I knew what FDJ stands for. It was the pro-communist youth organization of East Germany that was banned in West Germany.
Today, they protested against imperialism and for workers' rights.
One does not see the hammer and sickle in the public space very often in Germany these days.
This seemingly thin book is heavy on wisdom. If you think of the chain that goes
data -> information -> knowledge -> wisdom,
a lot of books don't spend much time on the wisdom, and if you want wisdom you'll do well here. He has basically 20 short essays on aspects of dealing and resisting; a typical essay will start with an expression of the principle involved, follow with historical examples of how is was handled in the past, and conclude with concrete actions you can take which follow the principle.
It's good and I think you'd do well with it. After you've read it, leave it on the bathroom window sill for your guests.
Seemingly proceeding to take off, you're high enough to require oxygen if you were piloting an unpressurized plane. The sky gets darker the higher you get, or you're just getting ready to pass out. :)
Making approach to the ridge leading to Forester Pass, looking North. That is University Peak right frame and you can follow it down to the Kearsarge Pinnacles. It had snowed the night before, the remaining snow was melting fast.
A seemingly abandoned 244 provided an extremely rare opportunity to photograph one of the last SD40-2 sets left in service on CP in 2019. This Pacman SD40-2 set came into Windsor on a ballast train then left (kind of) on a 244 2 days later. They put 244 in the hole at Belle River (about 10 miles outside of Windsor) and left it there for almost 50 hours for reasons unknown to me. I took this opportunity to photograph the power in as many ways as possible. In this scene a passing eastbound (240 or 140) lights up the SD40 set as it flies by at track speed towards London.
Train: CP 244 with CP 6055 (SD40-2) and CP 6069 (SD40-2).

Another seemingly impossible charter arranged by the late Dave Rodgers.
Taken on 29 September 2008 on the San Luis and Rio Grande Railroad. This is approaching the foot of the climb up La Veta pass from the direction of Alamosa.
The locomotive is Rio Grande Scenic Railroad 2-8-0 no 18 on a set of borrowed Union Pacific hoppers.

This seemingly ancient stone enclosure is just off the B3357 from Tavistock to Princetown on the west side of Dartmoor. There is a car park which is often used by soldiers taking part in training exercises on the moor. It is in the middle of an area that is literally full of Bronze Age settlements as well as granite quarries, and I assumed it was possibly medieval.
By researching other maps and sources I discovered that this spot is known as Four Winds, though sadly it is no longer named on many OS maps. One hundred years ago you would have heard the chatter of school children, for the car park was once the site of Foggintor School. It opened in 1914 and admitted children from the nearby Red Cottages, Rundlestone, Merrivale and many of the outlying farms. At one point the school had over 80 pupils but as employment opportunities declined so too did the size of the school roll. The school finally closed down in the July of 1936 when the decline in the quarry industry reduced the number of families in the area.
The tiny stream in the foreground is a leat (or artificial watercourse), associated with local tin and copper ore processing. I had thought that the "squeeze belly" stile in the stone wall was to keep animals in. Apparently it helped to keep animals which grazed on the moor out of the children's school playground.
Back to the seemingly endless rolling hills and gentle folds of the Palouse, Washington landscape. It really is a magical place, almost one of a kind, especially when you view it from above - where the true shape becomes apparent.

Another of the seemingly never ending images I took at Ross Farm on my last visit. Have I mentioned how much I like this place :o) I just wish I had the mind to move one more step to the left so I could have captured more than the arm of the wagon driver! No humans were harmed in the making of this photo...Only cloned out!
While walking along the Swiftcurrent Lake Trail with a view looking to the southeast across the waters of Swiftcurrent Lake. This is in Glacier National Park. My thought on composing this image was to use the ridges and peaks of Allen Mountain as a backdrop for the Many Glacier Hotel. I liked how it seemingly towered over this national park setting.
I was photographing a junco when this sapsucker flew out of seemingly no one and knocked it off to feed on these berries. I had only ever seen these birds from afar before so I basically just started shooting non stop. After about a minute the bird was off again. D500 200-500mm at 500mm f/6.3 ISO 2000 1/2000.

After a quick conversation with the yardmaster for Aldershot about whether or not they'd have any work, the last CN 435 of 2022 is on the approach to Burlington West with a nice pair of GMD SD75is, both seemingly repaints out of the Homewood shops. Thankfully for this crew, they were informed of no work at Aldershot and after an exchange of "Happy New Year"s with the yardmaster on the radio, they were on their way west toward London.
I guess I have become addicted to "Al" the Allen's Hummer seen near the entrance to the Los Angeles County Arboretum. He always seems to be waiting there seemingly asking to be photographed. On this day he was showing off his profile !!.
Hit "L" for a closer look !
Another battle of the seemingly never-ending "war" between nature and the state railways is being fought these days.
With still no definite solution to the loose rocks and mud flooding the tracks near Dömösi átkelés stop in the Danube Bend after rainy days, MÁV-START instead tries to preserve the current state by removing the accumulated debris behind the retaining walls time after time.
This time this is carried out during a five-day lockout of the track closer to the walls between Nagymaros and Szob. The overhead line is also disassembled on this track so that the digger seated on a flat car seen above can easily scoop out the rocks and mud. All traffic is restricted to the other track, causing delays for the average commuter.
For the first few days, legendary M62 265 has been dispatched to move the peculiar trainset around, with an open wagon on each side of the digger.
With a westbound CSX empty coal train holding just east of the Thurmond Control Point, the westbound Autumn Colors Express roars by the seemingly endless line of CSX Bethgons and under the Claremont, WV, bridge on the afternoon of October 25, 2019.
The museum is designed as a "seemingly floating dome structure"; its web-patterned dome allowing the sun to filter through. The overall effect is meant to represent "rays of sunlight passing through date palm fronds in an oasis.

This fine shot of a cottage in the Gap of Dunloe for a frosty Tuesday morning. Riding up the Gap from here on a day like today would take away any cobwebs away and concentrate the mind. Robert French really could capture the atmosphere of a place and a time!
As [https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia] and [https://www.flickr.com/photos/66311327@N05] suggest, this particular Moriarty cottage seems to have been around here. The guys point to the strong similarity in the rock-formations to the rear - and we have no reason to doubt it. It seems there were perhaps several Moriarty households in the area - and indeed we've met more than one Moriarty on our previous visits to the area. This Mrs Moriarty clearly served a burgeoning tourst trade - in a tradition which seemingly continues today...

Seemingly emerging from dense jungle, EL64/EL52 are still in fact in the relatively tame environment of suburban Maitland. The 2 GE powered locos are seen approaching High Street with an empty coal train to Pelton.
Seemingly, everywhere we go, it's getting harder to get a family portrait as in our families, they choose to take off running so as to see all the sights. Our travels have not only become our adventure, it's become our families adventure to.
Well, seemingly every other line in the Midwest is under water currently, and even though a tornado went right over the line a few days ago, BNSF's Topeka Sub is still going strong!
This evening, I was able to get out to Pauline and shoot the Employee Appreciation Special rolling past the elevator there as it completed the last few miles of its trip back to Topeka.

Seemingly poised above the nearby surf of Waikīkī, "Surfer on a Wave" is located at Kuhio Beach Park in Honolulu, Hawai'i. The sculpture's base was originally surrounded by a pool. Robert Pashby's 12-foot cast bronze sculpture "Surfer on a Wave" conveys strong dynamic movement. Verdigris patina enhances the impression of frothy waves below the surfboard. It was dedicated on June 25, 2003.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Stockgrove park is possibly the best place to photograph these. They are seemingly everywhere and very used to people. I had one land on me last week.
So here’s yet another shot in this seemingly never-ending series of b/w images that I’ve somehow gotten myself locked into! … Oh, now I remember, I started this series in celebration of the movie The Artist, and now find myself stuck in b/w! (although, once again, this one tips slightly into sepia).
This is a scene I pass everyday on my drive to and from work. I’ve always been meaning to bring along my camera, stop, and take a shot – but never did until now, when I have an iPhone and am working on an article about drive-by photography. On this particular drive I was fortunate enough to be able to stop in the middle of the road to get the shot. There were no stressed-out commuters behind me at the time!
I went for an “old photo” look here – a nice “normal distribution” of tones that fall a tiny bit short of deep shadows and bright highlights, with low contrast and a slight softening by turning down the “clarity” slider in PS Camera Raw.
Of course we’ve all seen hundreds of these railroad tracks photos. Nevertheless, there is something enticing about them, in an archetypal sort of way – the visual pull of receding lines, the mystery of travel and adventure, and the feeling of being railroaded towards one’s destiny.
Seemingly a former fire truck, as is explained in the comments.
Apparently a VW bus-event was also ending on the day of our return home. We came across many Transporters.
This is seemingly the go to shot in the France pavilion but oddly enough I don't think I've ever posted this shot. Well consider it rectified.I found when editing this shot it's definitely a fine line on how exposed you want the fountain to be. Too much its all one big blown mess, too low and it just seems off. I think I found the middle ground though. Enjoy.

On seemingly minute intervals, the Riffe, WV, in-motion scale reads out the train speed over the scanner of eastbound CSX loaded coal train T209 as they ease around the curve at a brisk 7.5MPH on the afternoon of February 27, 2021.

Cascading a seemingly endless stream of levers, valves, and piping; a pair of Cliffs Natural Resources employees raise and lower the colossal steel chutes of the Presque Isle Dock in Marquette Michigan. Nearly seventy five feet below, the Honorable James L. Oberstar engulfs the payload seemingly infinitely as it has done hundred of times prior. This loading process, from Mine - to Jenny - to Dock - to Chute - to Laker; it is an orchestra in its' own sense, a plucking of strings on but an over sided piano.
Seemingly building a tower of flowers, while others look on ... in a dreamworld far from pandemics and wildfires ;-)

A decision during the week to act upon the seemingly nailed-on certainty of "bright sunshine, early morning" & "excellent visibility" saw me making the long trip to Langdale in Lakeland. I'd hoped to make use of a confidently predicted glorious morning & scout some of England's highest ground for a few interesting compositions in fine light. A failure to visit the area during the whole winter season possibly prompted this extravagance. Anyway, (you've guessed already) thick blankets of stubborn hill-fog draped most of the high ground for most of the morning, eventually dissolving into an equally useless haze that hung around for what was left of this forgettable, tiring & expensive day. Thankfully a much shorter journey on Easter Sunday to the nearby Southern Highlands restored my faith in all manner of things.
I'd long known of this ridge providing astonishing views in every direction, & it had been on my back-burner for a while to attempt capturing Beinn Bhuidhe from it in winter conditions at sunrise. This particular hill (Bhuidhe), despite a general lack of enthusiasm from a certain kind of hill-goer, has great attributes & would be far better known if it wasn't so secretively positioned miles from any road. I have great memories of a delightful spring bivouac some years ago on the saddle between its two peaks. My view of the Arrochar 'alps', for that entire starry night, has never left me.
The inclusion of a full moon was completely fortuitous, by the way, & in no way planned. I suppose it was only a matter of time before such a serendipitous coincidence came my way during many hours spent in winter hills at dawn & dusk.
