A small and beautiful fishing village to the east of St:Austell. Originally called Porth Meur (Cornish for Great Cove) it later became called West Polmear. In 1799 he locals requested that the village be re-named Charlestown. The port was built to handle copper mined locally. Some 40,000 tonnes of ore was shipped from its quaysides. It later handled shipments of clay.Today tall ships are based there for the tourist trade.
HFF everyone.
This started as a low-light telephoto shot of a ship at twilight. It is actually the moon in the sky. You know, it just doesn't matter. Hope you like it.
Quirky Cat Leo is guarding the shipment of cat food that I just got in, as soon as it came in he had too claim it as his, at some point maybe I will be able to unpack it, but I am sure he will help, shot in North Carolina.

Having taken over cement shipments to Gdańsk Osowa Grupa Ożarów from CTL, Cargoway had tonly one locomotive at their disposal - SM42-387 - which was tasked with all the transports. The first train to the cement facility was comprised out of 10 loaded wagons, which turned out to be too much for the locomotive. Since then, the company splits loaded 40 wagon long trains into 8 parts and delivers the cement to the storage area in an almost wagon by wagon fashion.
The 2nd part of the train for this day was TMS 554034 Gdynia Port GT 1-33 - Gdańsk Osowa Grupa Ożarów and I photographed it on one of the many switchback curves in the forests of the Kacze Łęgi nature reserve. The train had left Gdynia Główna many minutes before and it could be heard rumbling all the way since then, the next station on the route was Gdynia Wielki Kack, and then Gdańsk Osowa.

Beaten up Class M62 loco of MÁV-START with race number 210 roaring near Pörböly with a loaded Baja - Dombóvár scrap-iron train.
The 300 meters long ~1500-ton train reaches Dombóvár via the scenic railway line twisting between the hills of Tolna and Baranya counties.
Most of these scrap shipments are heading to Italy and Slovenia. From Dombóvár an electric locomotive takes over towards Gyékényes, the Croatian border station.
Manitoulin Island is the largest island in the world in a freshwater lake. The swing bridge, an official Ontario heritage site, built in 1912-13, was originally used by trains to bring coal for shipment on the Great Lakes. This bridge links Manitoulin Island and the community of Little Current to the mainland. At sunrise, this beautiful part of central Canada glows in the warm light. The ferry ride, linking the Bruce Peninsula to Manitoulin Island is the other connection to the mainland. We discovered friendly, outgoing residents in Little Current more than willing to spend time chatting and answering questions about their beautiful community and the Manitoulin’s unique features.

Outgoing Cargo! is an archive film made in the 1950s for the National Association of Manufacturers in the United States. It promoted American capitalism, and introduced the viewer to ‘a steel container called a cargo van’, as a new innovation for shipping.
A whole case.
The cookie is smaller, the box is smaller, the price is higher.
So... I ordered a case. Half for immediate consumption. The other half is crushed to use for ice cream topping!

--BREAKING NEWS--
The Russian government has been completely sealed off from the outside world. New Regime officials have not made any comment on the situation, any ex-government offic.. excuse me.. I’m getting new information as we speak. Ok. We are receiving headcam footage of a raid right now. If you have any children nearby please do not allow them to watch this. Viewer discretion is advised. Stand by… U.S. led, NATO forces are in what appears to be a shipyard, some sort of operation is underway, we are still receiving information on the raid. This is a live feed from Poreč, Croatia. NATO troops are attempting to secure a landing ground for an armored division. Again, this is a live feed of a U.S. led, NATO raid on a shipyard in the port city of Poreč, Croatia. We advise that children are not allowed to watch this footage. Viewer discretion is advised.
[Soldiers are seen stacking up against the side of a house preparing to turn the corner. *multiple gunshots come through the feed before the audio is killed* Two Russian soldiers come into view, both bodies are sprawled out on the ground. A squad of NATO troops secures the building and prepares to move on. Seconds later the feed cuts out.]
We just witnessed a live raid on a Russian controlled port city. NATO troops will be able to sweep across the region once they control the port, it’s their ticket into the eastern part of Europe.
The second build in my little story. Please enjoy the build and the shotty story! I'd love to hear any feedback you have down in the comments. Thanks for stopping by!

A baggage cart is loaded and ready for the next train to stop and make a pickup at the former Western Maryland Railway depot in New Oxford, PA. Sadly, the last scheduled passenger train to stop was in 1942. The Hanover Subdivision has been freight only since then and is likely to remain that way. August 31, 2025.

The dog watching the workers caught my eye. I have no idea what's in those bags... I retrospect maybe if I lowered the camera to the dog's level it would have given this photo a very interesting perspective....

After coal shipments from Wyoming's Powder River Basin began to explode in the late 70s and beyond, the former CB&Q line through Crawford, Nebraska picked up an enormous amount of traffic. Although one would think of Nebraska as flat, the grade from Crawford to Bellmont was a sustained grade that included a horseshoe curve. Railfan photographers started to show up on a line that was a sleepy secondary route before, and eventually that included me. Three pusher sets of SD40-2s and a fuel tender (a tank car with diesel fuel, tied into the locomotive fuel tanks) were stationed at Crawford to shove trains over the hill. On June 28, 1988, I stepped foot in Crawford for the first time in my life, only to see the classic "Q" depot was soon going to be razed. Looking through an open window I spied this chalk board (no longer used) used to keep track of the units and fuel tenders. One photo captured a bit of nostalgia before it was gone.

I've always wanted to use the bike frame piece in a different way, and I've finally used it as the frame for this drone.
It's hard to get a good look at the hovercraft, it looks a little more detailed than in the photo, particularly at the rear. The pilot compartment can be swapped out for the cargo box.

Hello Everyone!
I spent a lot of time taking photos on this creation, but after two weeks and no success, I am kind of burned out. Goodness, I am terrible at Lego Photography. I am sorry about the photo`s lighting problems and the glare in places. It`s not the perfect image I had in mind, but I hope you guys can still appreciate the effort put into this. Better scenes will follow.
-Chris
EDIT: Feedback is more than appreciated, tell me what to do about that lighting/photography!

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

A long line of humvees bound for export pass through Bennington Curve on as they descend the Allegheny Mountains.
B-2080, a Boeing 777-F1B, on approach to runway 06R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario.
The freighter was arriving as CSN5231 (China Southern Airlines Co., Ltd.) from Vancouver, British Columbia and Qingdao, People's Republic of China.
A fun shipment just arrived - the window retainer (high-temp Inconel-X superalloy) and glass from the record-setting 4,520 MPH X-15 rocket plane, #2 in the series of three X-15s that were built.
#3 was destroyed in a final crash, and #1 is at the Smithsonian (nozzle photo).
The X-15 was carried aloft by B-52 and released at 45,000 feet and 500 mph. The rocket engine then fired for the first 1-2 minutes of flight. The remainder of the 10-11 minute flight was powerless and ended with a 200 MPH glide landing on a dry lake bed.
As I work this evening on a rocket that will go Mach 3, I look in awe at this windscreen that protected the pilot at Mach 6.7
From spaceaholic: This front windshield was removed in 1967 from X-15A-2. This Oval window design was only found on X-15A-2 (air frame tail number 66671) and this was a modification following its landing accident in 1962. The rebuild included additional tanks and performance enhancements exclusive to the X-15A-2, which enabled it to fly higher and faster then its siblings. The oval window was incorporated to better handle higher thermal/shock loads.
The inconel also has signatures of two X-15 pilots and Chris Kraft (better known for his involvement with Apollo). Because the window was pulled off the air frame in ‘67 it was most likely flown during the fastest flight ever (Pete Knight: 4,520 MPH in Oct 1967). After that flight and the fatal X15A-3 crash, the X-15 program was terminated. This may be the largest intact flown X-15 artifact outside of the Smithsonian and National Museum of the Air Force.
