Just trying something a little different and taking advantage of the stabilization. Despite the title, the car was moving pretty slowly and I was the passenger. :P

Small-boiler Isle of Man Steam Railway Beyer Peacock 2-4-0 tank No.8 'Fenella' (works No.3610 built in 1894) working the 1 in 240 section on the approach to Santon on 9th April 2013. A brief lull in the strong easterly wind allowed at least one satisfactory pan image with the exhaust trailing over the train.

Changed the original to this shape so I could use it as desktop wallpaper. Wakes me up in the morning far better than a coffee! Just love that zoom effect, and so easy to make (for us of small talent!)
Silver Creek & Stephenson Railroad engineer John Bertram opens the throttle on Heisler steam locomotive number 2 after creeping along for a slow order. The SC&S operates over 1.7 miles of abandoned Milwaukee Road track south of Freeport, IL.
To achieve this effect, I used a shutter time of 2 min 21 sec and a flashlight.
(I only used photoshop to remove color noise caused by the extreme long shuttertime)
The Guinness World Records lists the Symphony of Lights as the world's largest permanent light and sound show. I’m trying to think who Hong Kong’s competition is. Disney theme parks must have nightly shows. Maybe the casinos in Las Vegas, even Macau’s. Regardless, one cannot leave Hong Kong unimpressed.

There is this story,
that once people knew,
that high speed is bad for you.
It says, that at the beginning of the
railway-era in the 19th century
some people were warning,
that the speed of a train
with at that time inconceivable 30km/h,
would definitely damage your body.
But people have forgotten this fact
and so they happily travel
with 900 km/h through the air,
whilst yawning themselves through
kingdom of boredom in 9000 meters
above ground.
Would they just know.
So speed is just a figure
and quite relative I guess.
It is how you perceive
which shakes life out of the sleeve.
So just imagine:
If you lie, after this “boring” flight
somewhere near the equator
in your beach chair facing east,
enjoying the seascape, a drink
and your holiday,
then just remember,
that you,
actually,
because of the earth-rotation,
are spinning with a speed of about 1600 km/h
through space,
on a big stone called earth,
which hurries with roughly 108 000 km/h
around the sun.
The sun again rotates around the center
of the milky way with whopping 900 000 km/h
so that it only takes about 240 million years
to travel once around.
This is then called a galactic year.
Our solar system is about 20 galactic years
old.
Quite young one could say, but also this
is relative.
A little bit giddy?
As said, all about perception it is.
So now just take another sip of your drink
and enjoy your time,
your moment,
...and your speed
