With pilotman aboard, 47460 hauls 87001 and the heavily delayed 0900 Euston-Ayr 'through the road' onto the Up Main at Lanark Jn. It will work wrong line as far as Law Jn, approx 7 miles away. SLW and isolation necessitated by planned track renewals at Law Jn. Why didn't they plan diversions via the G&SW? Answers on a postcard, please. 20th June 1987.
This rose plant grew higher than most, so much so that one of its roses were dangling down from the pergola.
Simple is beautiful.

This is a shot of one of the Arapuni Dams in early morning fog. Not a place to linger on foot with big milk tankers driving past!
NGC 4618 was discovered on 9 April 1787 by the German-British astronomer, Wilhelm Herschel, who also discovered Uranus in 1781. Only a year before discovering NGC 4618, Herschel theorised that the “foggy” objects astronomers were seeing in the night sky were likely to be large star clusters located much further away then the individual stars he could easily discern.
Since Herschel proposed his theory, astronomers have come to understand that what he was seeing was a galaxy. NGC 4618, classified as a barred spiral galaxy, has the special distinction amongst other spiral galaxies of only having one arm rotating around the centre of the galaxy.
Located about 21 million light-years from our galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici, NGC 4618 has a diameter of about one third that of the Milky Way. Together with its neighbour, NGC 4625, it forms an interacting galaxy pair, which means that the two galaxies are close enough to influence each other gravitationally. These interactions may result in the two (or more) galaxies merging together to form a new formation, such as a ring galaxy.

defaultThe bustling Port of Echuca is recognised as one of Australia’s finest heritage icons.
Built in 1865 by the Victorian Railways, the Port of Echuca Wharf was crucial to Echuca’s development. For many years, Echuca was the main shipbuilding centre for the river transport industry. Some of the boats built in Echuca, such as the PS Adelaide, still operate on the Murray River today. At its peak, Echuca supported 8 sawmills and turned over up to 240 paddlesteamers a year.
Just after the cloud burst, Norfolk Southern's BH16 is heading home to Kankakee. Here you can view the old NYC depot, BH16 and buy a new Chevy, within steps...

22/11/2021, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary islands, Spain.
The Spanish owned car carrier 'L'Audace' is 'singled up' and ready to sail.
Also see here:
or click on the tag below:
"IMO 9187318"
Her twin main engines are noisily running and both propellers can be seen, spinning rapidly under the water. The reason the ship is not going anywhere is because both propellers are of the variable pitch type and the pitch setting is on zero.
"Singled up" means the mooring lines have all been let go and recovered on board the ship except for two lines for'ard, and two lines aft.
The aft lines can be seen in this image, one stern line and one spring line'
On the quayside, with his back towards the camera, un amarrador (a mooring man) awaits the order to 'Let Go', or in nautical parlance 'Leggo!
On the stern of the ship, un marinero (a seaman) awaits the same command to release the mooring lines.
Just as they have since the line opened, trains stop to exchange single line tokens at Glenwhilly. The signalman left it until the last seconds before he emerged from his box to avoid the midges!
08/07/2017 (Sat) 2155 Glenwhilly (south of Barrhill, Stranraer line) 156 156476 1A83 2103 Starnraer - Kilmarnock (train terminated at Girvan due to a points failure) slowing to exchange single line token from the signalman.

Following this was a very very long drive home!

That was picked some 10 yrs ago with a single needle. I wanted to do it straight away, but I couldn't find any other needle, so you can imagine it took me a long time :)
One single snowflake frozen in the air. I was zoomed in all the way to 105 mm, wide-open at f/4, and just happened to get lucky.
I intended to just get the repeating pattern of the logs with snow on them and this little guy creeped into focus.
It was a great way to spend some time on a beautiful day.
