SKILLS OF NOTTINGHAM

So this rocky headland at Terrigal, NSW is known as the Skillion. A skillion is by definition a towering rocky headline overlooking the ocean. Pretty well sums it up! It also doubles as a piece of training equipment judging by all the groups of youngsters running up and down it early in the morning. Crazies!
I hope everyone has an awesome Friday night & wonderful weekend 👋😀
Cheers
These guys who surf are amazingly skillful, at times I wonder how they stay upright for so long....they bring great entertainment to the beachgoers with their tricks and enjoyment of the sport....never a bored moment while they're on the ocean
Popped over to the The Skillion last week, a long time favourite spot of mine. It's a great place photography-wise. There is the Skillion itself you can see here. There are rockshelves to the north and south underneath. I've visited all of these many times over the years for taking photos at sunrise. There are surf beaches, protected harbours, pubs, cafes - a great seaside village vibe. We may have taken advantage of the pub for a delicious seafood gnocchi and cold beer afterwards. Several. Beers, not seafood gnocchis ;)
The Skillion itself is about 150m high and you can often spot sports teams, boot campers, and random masochists running up and down in an efort to kill themselves. It has some geologial signifigance beyond my understanding involving sedimentary rock, Middle Triassic thingies and Hawkesbury Sandstone.
So why we are on deep and meaningful thoughts - the hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread. Or these days I guess it's more like - the hardness of the olive oil spread is proportional to the softness of the eggplant discs.
Hope everyone is having a great week !

When I took this photo some years ago I didn't have the skill or processing software to salvage a poor image. Progress since then.

Tiny green spider with a parasitic wasp lavae feeding of it. Was a windy day and the spider was very active, though that will change unfortunately ;) - wasn't able to get a clear shot due to that, and my incredible lack of skill. Also a challange to edit, these green tones I struggle with!

"We face each other as intended," Knives said. "No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone."
"You mean you'll put down your Kunai and I'll put down my sword and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people, is that it?””

Autumn is very much on the horizon now, and with it many changes occur - a new season, falling leaves and in this case, a new operator for the Medilink!
Skills have always had a strong presence in the Nottingham area's private hire and contract work so operating an "open doors" service, so to speak, is a new venture for this operator.
Taking over from previous operator CT4N, Skills have invested in a new fleet of diesel Enviro 400 MMC double deckers for the route. There are 6 of these machines, kitted out to a high specification, branded for the route in the rather attractive Skills emerald livery.
Two of these vehicles were delivered just in time for the start of the new contract on the 1st of September and as such, are registered on 75 plates - brand new, as seen here!
The other 4 have been in the fleet a little longer, being delivered in May 2025 as part of a batch of six 25 plates. The other pair in this batch are to be used on Skills other contracts, such as the extensive Bilborough College "R" series bus network and the usual private hires.
While a slight reduction in frequency from 5 to 4 buses an hour has taken place, the arrival of these new double deckers will mean an overall increase in capacity from the tired K9URs allocated under CT4N. I'm sure the new timing and fleet will help improve the reliability of this route, which passengers and drivers alike are bound to appreciate!
I haven't been taking pictures for a while as life always goes first, but I never stop learning new things and sharpening my skills. I still have to go through a few months of backlog just to make sure my profile is up to date. Hopefully I will have some time soon and I'll keep posting more.
Thanks for following me!.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

For Macro Mondays: "Sharp as a Tack" theme
I tried my hand at focus stacking this week and have had a pretty difficult time with it. None of my images pleased me enough to post. For this shot, I resorted to using a single image taken using a tripod with my camera in manual mode, ISO 800, f20. I added a Gaussian blur to the background to smooth things out.
I really feel I have been sharpening my photography skills this week--as well as the lead in my pencil!

This Medilink isn’t even an actual Medilink. At least two of the YX25s remain in standard Skills livery and can be differentiated by their higher spec with tinted windows and additional tree deflector on the offside... although OGN has already managed to lose its nearside one. I imagine these are the Medilink ‘spares’, that when not required can be used alongside the 17 plate MMC as regular double deck coaches.
OGO is the other high-spec YX25, although it isn’t on the ticket machine list on Bustimes, so does it actually get used on the Medilink? Also I haven’t seen the 17 plate on Bustimes either but surely it’s cleared to be used on the route? Well with all these MMCs at their disposal now, that’s pretty much dashed my hopes of Skills putting one of their ex-Lothian Presidents on it as a spare.
Being the “fancy” Medilink with tinted windows, YX25 OGN passes QMC Island with a Queens Drive-bound journey, about to call into QMC and perform a lap of the grounds, on 28.11.25

The light levels were pretty dull, under the thick tree branches in February. As a result this is a pan shot taken at 1/125th, simply by virtue of “I had to get it somehow”. The next Skills decker could come round the corner at any moment, so it wasn’t like I had a guaranteed window in which I could piss around with camera settings.
SIL 7028 is one of my most-photted Skills Presidents because this is the third time I’ve caught it on camera.
