366 Day 165: Radial patterns are symbolic: webs, wheels, rays of light, segments, clocks, choices ...
A segmented pie-chart is often used to represent areas of our lives ... Which areas are we neglecting? Where are we truly content? Which demand too much attention?

"The Hunting Island Light is located in Hunting Island State Park on Hunting Island near Beaufort, South Carolina. Although no longer used as a functioning lighthouse, the tower is a fixture at the state park and is open to visitors. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
The tower is made mostly of brick with a cast-iron shell. The conical tower is 132.6 feet (40.4 m) and had a second-order Fresnel. The original lamp, clockwork movement and the Fresnel lens was removed when it was decommissioned in 1933. The 1st order lens from the Morris island lighthouse is at base of the tower for the public to view. The top third of the tower is painted black and the lower two-thirds is painted white. A fog horn was not installed.
Currently, an LED lamp is in place flashing the original flash pattern from 1859 in the lighthouse. It is turned on at dusk and flashes through the night providing night visitors to the island the feel of an operating lighthouse. When operational, the Hunting Island Lighthouse was visible for 17 miles. Historic records from March 1890 note that the lighthouse was complete, "including one of the larger sized fire proof oil light houses.
Construction started in 1859, but was set back as the tower was destroyed during the Civil War in 1862. Major George H. Elliot is credited with the 1860s development of what is known as the "segmented cast-iron" lighthouse design. In the United States, two were constructed: the Hunting Island Lighthouse and subsequently Florida's Cape Canaveral Light. Hunting Island's Lighthouse was designed to be disassembled and moved if required. It consists of cast-iron sections, each weighing up to 1200 pounds which are bolted together to form the shell. the shell is lined with brick, which constitutes the main load-bearing structural element.
Erection commenced in 1873 and was completed in 1875. With its 167 steps that lead to an impressive observation deck, the Hunting Island Lighthouse has a handsomely built cast and wrought-iron staircase, railings and support beams that were fashioned by the Phoenix Iron Works company of Philadelphia. The Lighthouse was first located on the northern portion of Hunting Island, South Carolina, but severe beach erosion threatened the light station and its structures. By 1888 it was reported that the Atlantic Ocean's high tide had reached within 35 feet of the keeper's house. As a result, the lighthouse, the keeper's home and two other structures were relocated a mile away in 1889 to their present locale.
At the time of the 1893 Sea Islands Hurricane, the Hunting Island Lighthouse functioned as a sanctuary for some passengers aboard the steamer "City of Savannah I" which had been forced onto the shoals. The Lighthouse continued operation until deactivation in 1933. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 as reference #70000561. In 2009, celebrations were held in honor of the lighthouse's 150th anniversary. " (Wikipedia)

I spent a couple nights at a lovely waterfront Airbnb in this charming south Florida town and the best part (for me anyway!) was that it was a three minute walk to the Route 1 bridge and one of the top photo locations on the Florida East Coast Railway mainline. So reprising what I did the prior morning I was back up here for a couple more takes on Sinday morning before we walked for bloody marys and brunch
2017 built Siemens SCB-40 BLF 104 leads train 722with five cars and an unidentified sister unit on the rear as the first daily southbound departure from Orlando which left at 06:50. BLF service over this stretch of track is a bit over a year old now having only started revenue runs north from West Palm Beach in September of 2023 using FEC tracks as far as Cocoa then a 40 mile entirely new build line west to Orlando International Airport.
While these trains are rather garish in appearance and I don't particularly love the look of Siemens Chargers that are quickly coming to dominate North American passenger operations, I'm fascinated with the business model and would love to learn more from insiders. South Florida Business Journal reported that Brightline lost $493 million in the first nine months of 2024 yet continues to buy more trainsets and is pursuing an expansion to Tampa, not to mention their Brightline West project between Los Angeles and Las Vegas....
Are they visionaries or fools? I certainly don't know the answer, but the optimist in me who loves this industry surely hopes it's the former. It truly is rather astonishing that a private business is consciously investing capital in intercity passenger railroading, something that hasn't happened in America since the mid 1950s. It is even more interesting given that the FEC was one of the earliest Class 1s to exit the passenger business in 1963 (though a bare bones state mandated service was reinstated in 1965 and ran for three years) at the start of its 14 yr long strike.
To learn more about this new Brightline expansion here's the official press release: www.gobrightline.com/press-room/2023/brightline-history-b...
And here's a good article on the first year of service and upcoming changes from the folks at Trains Magazine:
www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/brightline-aims...
This famous view looking down from the Roosevelt Bridge which carries US Route 1 over the St. Lucie River is a signature FEC location. The more than thousand foot long trestle has a bascule span with a 50 ft wide channel that has recently become a major issue since Brightline service has resulted in a tripling of the daily train crossings and a disruption to the substantial marine traffic. Additionally the bridge which sits at about MP 260.9 on FEC's Flagler Sub mainline is the last remaining single track segment between Cocoa and Miami following the complete rebuilt in advance of Brightline's northward expansion.
Funding has been allocated for the bridge's replacement in the coming years so get your shots now.

63_365 Grapefruit heart. The purpose of this 365 photo a day for a year isn't just to take a snapshot or a willy nilly shot just for the sake of shooting, It's an exercise to train your eye. Don't just look....see. Always have your camera ready looking for your next shot. With your camera always in hand, you learn all the buttons and what it can do. Try this, try that. Be creative. This is my 3rd time of doing this and I really think it has made me a better photographer. I now have a trained photographers eye and I see things everywhere I look. Even while eating breakfast. Most would have just eaten this little grapefruit heart segment without seeing it. I'm feeling the love of the goodness and all the flavor that this grapefruit is providing me

Ten years ago, the 2012 Olympic Games took place in Stratford in the East End of London. This week, to remember that great occasion I'm posting a number of photos taken over the course of the two weeks. Some are improved versions of shots already posted, but the majority are new images I've not previously shared with the public.
Apart from this shot, I entirely missed the grand parade of various British iconography because I was sat in the wrong part of the stadium to properly see it (they didn't go all the way around).
The Vandalia RR operates a short 3 mile segment of the old ICRR Charter Line at Vandalia. This classic EMD switcher is their sole power, and it's duty is to switch local industries along their line.Their connection with the outside world is with CSX at Vandalia. They operate from the old Pensy tower seen at left.
This is a cool little RR that I've been trying to see for years, too bad they weren't running this day.
First thing in a while, quite pleased with the result, biggest code in a lower I've ever made.

This is a little picture tutorial how I make my segmented beads. First I made custom colors and blended into a color gradient in a short thick plug that is easy to pierce with a narrow kitting needle. Then I roll it out around the needle to the length I want. The ends always flare out, so I pinch them with my fingers to close the clay around the needle. I always have to roll it again to make it round and symmetrical. Next I twist the needle gently and pull off the clay. I cut off the irregular ends and cut the bead into 5 or 7 segments. Gently re-roll it and place it back on the needle to bake. Then into the oven
I am fairly new to telephoto photography and love the way that being able to get in close can actually be quite liberating. I'm also a big fan of the way that a long zoom can compress perspective - one of the main reasons why I think this works as an image.
this is worth checking out View On Black
I'm going to be away from Flickr for the next few weeks getting married and then going to Africa for 3 weeks. Am taking 30gb of memory cards (aren't they cheap these days) so expect to see some pictures in November!
ps made Explore :-)
I found me some rust. Yay!!!
I don't know if any locals have looked up when standing in the Southsea bandstand, but this is what you'll see.
Looks beautiful.
