L551 splits the signals at mile 36 of the Halton sub on a super foggy day.

 

With a new set of vaders installed near by (you can see it along Main St. near the overpass) I wanted to catch a train here before their possible demise. The set of single head searchlights fills in the lack of scenery along the Halton sub as it makes its way through suburban Milton. Paired with the fog you can hardly make out the end of the train, it was a decent day until sunset when thing got too dark and wet for any good shots.

I love urban minimalism and the use of negative space. Taken in Toronto by Sugar Beach

They weren't expecting this! At all.

Girls night at jokers is always fun!

Manifest freight UP Train MKCCB 21 splits the Rock Island abutments and embankment from when a flyover for their Topeka-St. Joseph line spanned the Mo-Pac here. Hard to believe that some of these small towns used to host pairs, or even trios of railroads.

Was too busy to post pics to Flickr during the World Juniors, but now that I've been back home for a few days I had time to pick out ~50 pics from the tournament to post to Flickr and will be posting them in small bunches during the coming week or so. Hope you'll like 'em. :)

During a recent emergency trip to New Mexico we met a lot of relatives at my parent’s house. One of the young girls was demonstrating how she could do the splits. This got some of the other girls excited and before long a whole room of girls was demonstrating how they could do the splits. We had a split lineup. Pictured are Claudia Sherwood, Elsa and Vivian Poyer, Lilly and Ella Seavey, and Megan Mitchell. My sister, Megan, at the back is 6 months pregnant but still proudly capable of the splits.

Because our awesome splits definitely deserve a picture (:

This summer dress is quite long, well below the knee, but the splits on both sides give it something extra. 26th July 2017

Yet another coal train! This one splits the old warehouses just north of Laclede's Landing as it heads towards downtown.

 

I sure wish those buildings could be converted into something useful instead of just sitting there. It's only a matter of time until someone burns them down.

Walking through underneath the M42 which splits the Kingsbury Water Park in two. Kingsbury Water Park is a country park in north Warwickshire, England, not far from Birmingham and lying on the River Tame. It is owned and managed by Warwickshire County Council. It is renowned for its birdlife, and is popular with birdwatchers. It is bordered on the western edge by the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal.

 

The area was previously the site of gravel extraction pits that were operated by the Midland Gravel Company. The lakes were created from the craters left behind after the gravel had been taken out. The Water Park was opened on 24 May 1975 with two lakes and 123 acres. It has been expanded over the years and as of 2011 has fifteen lakes in an area covering over 600 acres. The Park welcomed 50,000 visitors in its first year, a number which had expanded to 350,000 in 2007.

Of course, doing the splits in a short dress right in front of a giant fan can have unexpected results!

I have definite and very strong Marxist leanings -- not as in Karl, but as in Harpo, Zeppo, and Groucho. But Karl does manage to surface in my thinking every once in awhile, usually in conversations I have with Vanessa. She has an abundant mane of very unusually-textured hair, whereas I don't have much hair at all, of any kind of texture; and from time to time I remind her that Karl Marx advocated taking from those who have, in order to give to those who have not. Or, as he put it, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." She never does take the hint, unfortunately. (Incidentally, some additional comments about Vanessa's head of hair may be found here.)

 

As seen here, she is very limber. (Not surprisingly, she is also a gifted dancer.) She did splits on our living-room floor near midnight one Friday evening, and I asked her to let me photograph her doing them. Perhaps an outdoor setting would have produced a more esthetically-appealing image, but this reflects her personality a little better, I think, because home and family are the center of her life, and her iPod is her constant companion. But to return to my point: in keeping with the spirit of Karl Marx, I resent her talent as being unfair; I, after all, would snap like a wishbone if I were ever so much as to attempt this.

 

I took this photo with my Nikkor 18-55mm kit lens, which I rarely use now unless I want to get a wide-angle shot, which obviously was necessary here.

Splits easily and demonstrates orange main component (close double itself, K2 class, 3,18m) and fainter but hotter bluish (B8 class, 5,8m) companion.
