Not a great photo but SOO Ex-MILW GP40 2057, CP GP40-2 4609, and SOO GP38-2 4434 leads a lengthy transfer freight from the BRC. Today, this unit is not running with the CP anymore as it now operates for a different railroad down near the St. Louis, MO area.

Chase Thomas, a local citizen from the Farmville, Va., area, looks down the barrel of an M-240 Medium Machine Gun that was mounted on a UH-1 Huey helicopter as part of a static display during the Marine Corps Community Day at Farmville Municipal Airport Jan. 14, 2012. The 24th MEU organized the event as part of their Realistic Urban Training exercise (RUT) to thank the community and highlight the capabilities of the Marine Air Ground Task Force. The RUT exercise is scheduled from Jan. 5-20, and is meant to allow the Marines to conduct off-base training near the town of Farmville to prepare for their upcoming deployment.

*KRSH!!*
Phin - “God dammit, keep moving!”
The wall explodes a few feet behind us as we duck down and keep moving to the side. What the hell’s shooting at us?! A sniper? We’re at the highest point in the area so where the hell are these shots coming from?!
*KRSH!!*
Christ! The wall explodes again almost a foot in front of me. I fall backwards as dust and rubble flies out. The shots stop as it dawns on me what’s shooting at us.
Phin - “…Shit, must be a sniper drone.”
Cristy - “A what?”
Phin - “A sniper drone; ba-basically a robotic helicopter with a sniper rifle under it. Fucking hell, I knew they had this stuff but are they really wasting it on us?!”
Cristy - “So what are we going to do?”
Phin - “We…can’t risk running for it. Those things have advanced imaging from what I’d heard. We can’t just sit here like fish in a barrel either.”
Cristy - “…So what are we supposed to do?!”
Phin - “I’m thinking!”
I catch my breath and look around the room; mostly just to think of our options. The rotors of the sniper drone start to hum in the background, they must be moving in for a better angle. I look back to Cristy and glance down at her rifle.
Phin - “Alright. Here’s the plan: I’m gonna move back over this way, you keep moving along this wall and stop under that open area. I’ll distract it and give covering fire. Once I start shooting, you pop out, get him in sight and let loose on the trigger.”
Cristy - “I-I don’t know if I can-“
I grab her shoulder and look her in the eyes.
Phin - “I’ve seen you shoot over the past two weeks and I know you can do this.”
She pauses for a moment before looking back at me with determination.
Cristy - “Let’s do it.”
I pat her shoulder before taking my rifle back in both hands.
Phin - “Good. Get to position and let’s get this done.”
These six photos are an attempt to capture and analyze The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries that can be found in the Musée national du Moyen Âge (aka Musée de Cluny) in Paris, France.
The Lady and the Unicorn (French: La Dame à la licorne) is the modern title given to this series of six tapestries woven from wool and silk in the style of mille-fleurs (thousand flowers) around the year 1500 in Flanders and woven from designs ("cartoons") drawn in Paris. Perhaps there was another title back in the Middle Ages but the tapestries were lost for many years and then rediscovered in 1841.
Each of the six tapestries depict a noble lady with the unicorn on her left and a lion on her right; some include a monkey in the scene. Among other things, the tapestries represent the five senses. Each tapestry is usually referred to by the sense it depicts (Taste, Touch, Smell, Sound, Sight), while the sixth tapestry, which either introduces or concludes the series, is known as À Mon Seul Désir (To My One Desire) because of the words woven into it.
The tapestries can be interpreted several ways. The most popular goes back to an old folklore that the unicorn was so wild it could only be tamed by a virgin. There was a medieval belief that if a virgin sat in the woods, then a unicorn would happen by and be seduced by the virgin. Once the unicorn had surrendered to the virgin the animal would lay its head in her lap.
There are many more interpretations. One that is also fascinating and a bit less abstract than finding the unicorn seduction theory in these tapestries is that they are about the relationship between the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. This theory is based on the fact that throughout the Middle Ages Unicorns have been identified as a symbol of Christ by Christian writers. That “Unicorn as Christ” interpretation is far more obvious when viewing “The Hunt of the Unicorn” tapestries at the Cloisters in New York City because the association with the Passions of Christ is easy to see.
But one interpretation that can be heard both in Paris and New York is that the tapestries are about “a woman renouncing the physical world of the senses for the spiritual world.” Speculation is that both might have been wedding presents and perhaps the storyline is all about a girl going from childhood toys to raising a family.

As dawn breaks over northern Norway on 12 November 1944 RAF Avro Lancasters in a loose 'gaggle', each carrying a 12,000lb 'Tallboy' bomb, sight their target from 20 miles out: the German battleship Admiral von Tirpitz in Tromso fjord. The aircraft, from 617 Squadron and 9 Squadron, had been modified with their mid-upper gun turrets removed to save weight, and extra fuel tanks installed, to make the long trip from Scotland. Three bombs hit the ship and others exploded nearby: it rolled over and settled in the shallow water, drowning almost 1,000 men.
Note: those familiar with the mountain topography of northern Norway will not recognise the exact location, which owes more than a little to artistic licence.

This is a four photo panoramic shot created in Elements.
An elevated site would have made this a lot better, I think....I was wishing I had come in huge truck with a tray back to stand on!!
This is my final photo for the Big Five-Two Group for 2011...thanks Scott for that invite when we met at Cleveland Point early in the year.
After a small hiatus last month I was concerned that I wouldn't finish, but am happy to say I finally made it with this image.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE...BRING ON 2012!
TALACRE LIGHTHOUSE IS SURROUNDED BY WATER AT HIGH TIDE, BUT IT CAN BE REACHED EASILY ACROSS A BROAD FLAT BEACH AT LOW TIDE. THE LIGHTHOUSE HAS A PRONOUNCED 10-15 DEGREE TILT TOWARDS THE SEA WHICH IS DUE TO SUBSIDENCE OF THE LARGE CONCRETE BASE THAT THE LIGHTHOUSE SITS ON.
TRINITY HOUSE CONSTRUCTED THE PRESENT LIGHTHOUSE IN 1819 AFTER THE ORIGINAL LIGHTHOUSE FELL INTO THE SEA. IT IS THE OLDEST LIGHTHOUSE IN WALES, IT IS 99FT HIGH AND WHEN IT WAS LIT COULD BE SEEN 19 MILES AWAY. A LIGHTHOUSE, KNOWN OFFICIALLY AS POINT OF AYR, HAS STOOD ON THE SITE AT TALACRE BEACH SINCE 1776 AND THE FIRST LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER EDWARD PRICE WAS PAID 16 GUINEAS (£16.80) PER ANNUM TO LOOK AFTER THE LIGHT. THE LIGHTHOUSE ONCE DISPLAYED TWO LIGHTS; THE MAIN BEAM, AT 63 FEET, SHONE TOWARDS LLANDUDNO, WHILE A SECONDARY BEAM SHONE UP THE RIVER DEE, TOWARDS THE HAMLET OF DAWPOOL ON THE ENGLISH SIDE OF THE ESTUARY. WHILST IN SERVICE, THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS PAINTED WITH RED AND WHITE STRIPES, AND HAD A RED LANTERN HOUSING. IT WAS REPLACED IN 1883 WITH A METAL PILE LIGHTHOUSE, BEARING A WHITE LIGHT, PUT UP BY ORDER OF THE CORPORATION OF TRINITY HOUSE. THE LIGHTHOUSE HAS SERVED MANY PURPOSES INCLUDING BEING A LOOKOUT POST IN WARTIME.
THE LIGHTHOUSE HAS BEEN NOTED FOR NUMEROUS GHOSTLY SIGHTINGS, PEOPLE CLAIMING TO SEE A FIGURE WEARING OLD FASHIONED LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER CLOTHES AND STANDING IN FRONT OF THE GLASS DOME ON THE ABANDONED LIGHTHOUSE.
IN 1775 TWO SHIPS “THE TREVOR” AND THE “NON PAREIL” RAN AGROUND NEAR TALACRE IN A FEROCIOUS STORM AND OVER 200 PASSENGERS AND CREW PERISHED TOGETHER WITH A CARGO OF JEWELS, SILKS AND SPICES BELIEVED TO BE WORTH £40,000.
I found two lovely little kitten in my garden (backyard). Being left alone and once they saw me, the photographed one sneaked to palm tree to hide itself. As if it was then out of sight !
Gracing Victorian rails once again over the weekend were SSR's powerhouse units C507, C510 & G514.
On Friday the trio ran 5WJ1 to Yarrawonga where G514 and approximately 30 wagons were left to load while the C's continued on to Oaklands for their loading.
The train is seen here on its return journey north powering up through Table Top.
