Class 60 60090 passes Northway with a consignment of steel slab forming the 6V35 00:50 Lackenby to Llanwern. The locomotive had carried the the two-tone grey livery throughout its active service and the former BR Trainload Coal sector decals had given way to the EWS branding and the 'Quinag' nameplates having been removed. With over 20,000 engine hours accumulated, the locomotive is now stored.

Row 4 (golden picture jasper, vesuvianite, Montana agate).
I love the Montana, since it has fortifications and speckles.
B&W version of this waterfall and the nice slabs of rocks.
Thougths on this processing. I played a lot with it ... something just seems off about it but I cannot place it. At this time I still like the color version better, so for that I keep thinking I am doing something wrong with the B&W processing.

This is the first of many images to come from a great little trip down south in CA in and around the Salton Sea. This image is from Slab City. Once a Word War II Marine Barracks and now only the concrete slabs exists. This place is something you have to see for yourself. It was recently featured in the movie and book "Into the Wild.
This image is from my Polaroid Super shooter with the Chocolate film.
do not ask what POSSESSED Steve and i to choose this afternoon to meet at the blistering-hot salvage yard (108° in the parking lot!) — and we did not buy this gorgeous slab of Costa Rican hardwood, but instead got 19 pieces of salvaged redwood siding, to eventually make a new bar top for my house, hooray!
and this thing was just too gorgeous not to photograph, even at risk of heatstroke...
Harsco Kress Tong steel slab carriers at Scunthorpe steelworks.
These vehicles can carry up to 90 tonnes of slabs and stack them without the use of cranes. Through the use of onboard high-lift hydraulic tongs, any slabs can be handled directly from any surface without need for pallets or cranes. The tongs also allow the carrier operator to split and sort slab piles with ease which is of great benefit in field storage yards.
I didn't know that they had a hostel when we came here and I was curious about it. This is the entrance to the hostel. Notice the inviting razor wire greeting you as you arrive. There was a sign saying they were open, but it was kind of hard to get through the locked gate and razor wire.
I looked at some pictures and read some reviews of the place and most people had nice things to say about the hostel environment. For only $30 you can get a place to sleep for the night. If you do stay here, you have to remember you are off the grid and they don't have all the normal amenities. No running water, flush toilets, or on grid electricity.
You have a community outdoor shower, porta potties, and a shared outdoor cooking area. You will be sleeping in an old camper that probably can't be put on the road again. Sound inviting, then get onto the air bnb site and reserve a room.
I think when we first see something like this, we naturally feel uncomfortable...... and that interests me.
I tried to glorify this piece of meat to make it look as attractive as possible, like the beautiful object that it is

Trees, Granite Slabs. Yosemite National Park, California. September 9, 2014. © Copyright 2014 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A group of small trees find a marginal existence growing along a crack at the edge of an exfoliated slab of granite, Yosemite National Park
It took me three tries, on successive days, to finally get the photograph of this little bit of granite slab and trees that I was looking for. On evening of our first day camping in the vicinity we were under the thick smoke plume from the early September "Meadow" fire in Yosemite, which was burning some miles away in the Little Yosemite Valley area — but also sending dense smoke towards us and dropping ash from the sky. I did make a few photographs in this eerie light the first night, but it was a very tricky situation that did not work well for this subject. I went back on the second evening, when the smoke had diminished at our location to the point that it wasn't a major factor in "intimate landscape" photographs like this one. I went to the top of a large granite bowl before the light was good and scouted for likely photographs to make as the evening light improved. I spotted this lengthy crack at the edge of an exfoliated granite slab, in which a number of small trees had taken tenuous root and decided that it could be an interesting subject with evening sidelight. I wasn't the only one, however, and three members of our party had the same idea! We are a cooperative bunch, so I photographed some other things while my partners worked this spot, and then returned to set up a shot that looked more directly up the length of the crack that curves through the composition in this version. Later that evening I was quickly reviewing my shots from the day, and I realized that one of my buddies had cast a long shadow into part of the frame! Ah, well, such things happen.
So I made plans to go back yet again on our final evening in the area and try once more. In the end, I'm glad that I did. I'm now convinced that by going back I found a more interesting composition that accomplished several things. First, no one's shadow is in the image! Second, I think that positioning the large crack so that it curves more diagonally through the frame works better than my original composition. Third, due to this different camera position and somewhat different light, I was able to let the shadow of the tree create a sort of mirror image of its form, resulting in a relationship between the tree and the shadow that I like. There are spots much like this one all over the place in Yosemite — smooth slabs of granite on which tiny but often mature trees manage to find just enough sustenance. In this little spot, a somewhat unusual number of these trees seem to have made a success of it.
