55008 "The Green Howards" fires up at Liverpool Lime Street prior to working 1E99 1305 to York on 14th October 1981.
Few locos sound as impressive as a Deltic when starting up, with the priming pumps whirring and then the resultant explosion of smoke as an added bonus.
Money must have been tight this week as 55008 was only taken the pitiful distance of 12 miles to St Helens Junction.
It was withdrawn at the end of 1981 along with the rest of the class, although this machine didn't make it into preservation and was cut up at Doncaster Works in August 1982.
Cast a shadow long and grey
Shaped in a pattern, of your face
Makes me believe that I've been okay
Right here
Its only been two long years
Of holding on, to last confessions
Like lying in a tragic in a tragic dream
I make it all seem, better than it's been
And we don't know, what we have done
And why we're mistaken
I've tried so, hard to find, why we're forgiven
Start over, before we're done
Holding my head for all my life,
Just trying to see you, for the last
Doesn't make sense just to leave you here
Writing sorry on the floor,
Hoping for something more
Awaiting arms, that I've given time again
And with the last chime in, you go,
As if I'm better off alone
I said I'd give it time, till I finally leave here
First steps in all my life, so why waste my time,
When you've already won
(I've been all that I know)

A model at the Bowman Military Heritage Festival in Louisville, Kentucky was walking down the tarmac of the airport to take a selfie of a classic car. I asked if I could take her photo. Unprompted, she went into this pose.

Zion National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah near the city of Springdale. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile (590 km2) park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles (24 km) long and up to 2,640 ft (800 m) deep. The canyon walls are reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone eroded by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest point in the park is 3,666 ft (1,117 m) at Coalpits Wash and the highest peak is 8,726 ft (2,660 m) at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park has a unique geography and a variety of life zones that allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Numerous plant species as well as 289 species of birds, 75 mammals (including 19 species of bat), and 32 reptiles inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches. Human habitation of the area started about 8,000 years ago with small family groups of Native Americans, one of which was the semi-nomadic Basketmaker Anasazi (c. 300). Subsequently, the Virgin Anasazi culture (c. 500) and the Parowan Fremont group developed as the Basketmakers settled in permanent communities. Both groups moved away by 1300 and were replaced by the Parrusits and several other Southern Paiute subtribes. Mormons came into the area in 1858 and settled there in the early 1860s. In 1909, President William Howard Taft named the area Mukuntuweap National Monument in order to protect the canyon. In 1918, the acting director of the newly created National Park Service, Horace Albright, drafted a proposal to enlarge the existing monument and change the park's name to Zion National Monument, Zion being a term used by the Mormons. According to historian Hal Rothman: "The name change played to a prevalent bias of the time. Many believed that Spanish and Indian names would deter visitors who, if they could not pronounce the name of a place, might not bother to visit it. The new name, Zion, had greater appeal to an ethnocentric audience." On November 20, 1919, Congress redesignated the monument as Zion National Park, and the act was signed by President Woodrow Wilson. The Kolob section was proclaimed a separate Zion National Monument in 1937, but was incorporated into the national park in 1956. The geology of the Zion and Kolob canyons area includes nine formations that together represent 150 million years of mostly Mesozoic-aged sedimentation. At various periods in that time warm, shallow seas, streams, ponds and lakes, vast deserts, and dry near-shore environments covered the area. Uplift associated with the creation of the Colorado Plateau lifted the region 10,000 feet (3,000 m) starting 13 million years ago. The park is located in southwestern Utah in Washington, Iron and Kane counties. Geomorphically, it is located on the Markagunt and Kolob plateaus, at the intersection of three North American geographic provinces: the Colorado Plateau, the Great Basin, and the Mojave Desert. The northern part of the park is known as the Kolob Canyons section and is accessible from Interstate 15, exit 40. The 8,726-foot (2,660 m) summit of Horse Ranch Mountain is the highest point in the park; the lowest point is the 3,666-foot (1,117 m) elevation of Coal Pits Wash, creating a relief of about 5,100 feet (1,600 m). Streams in the area take rectangular paths because they follow jointing planes in the rocks. The stream gradient of the Virgin River, whose North Fork flows through Zion Canyon in the park, ranges from 50 to 80 feet per mile (9.5 to 15.2 m/km) (0.9–1.5%)—one of the steepest stream gradients in North America. The road into Zion Canyon is 6 miles (9.7 km) long, ending at the Temple of Sinawava, which is named for the coyote god of the Paiute Indians. The canyon becomes more narrow near the Temple and a hiking trail continues to the mouth of The Narrows, a gorge only 20 feet (6 m) wide and up to 2,000 feet (610 m) tall. The Zion Canyon road is served by a free shuttle bus from early April to late October and by private vehicles the other months of the year. Other roads in Zion are open to private vehicles year-round. The east side of the park is served by Zion-Mount Carmel Highway (SR-9), which passes through the Zion–Mount Carmel Tunnel and ends at Mount Carmel. On the east side of the park, notable park features include Checkerboard Mesa and the East Temple. The Kolob Terrace area, northwest of Zion Canyon, features a slot canyon called The Subway, and a panoramic view of the entire area from Lava Point. The Kolob Canyons section, further to the northwest near Cedar City, features one of the world's longest natural arches, Kolob Arch. Other notable geographic features of the park include the Virgin River Narrows, Emerald Pools, Angels Landing, The Great White Throne, and Court of the Patriarchs. Spring weather is unpredictable, with stormy, wet days being common, mixed with occasional warm, sunny weather. Precipitation is normally heaviest in March. Spring wildflowers bloom from April through June, peaking in May. Fall days are usually clear and mild; nights are often cool. Summer days are hot (95 to 110 °F; 35 to 43 °C), but overnight lows are usually comfortable (65 to 70 °F; 18 to 21 °C). Afternoon thunderstorms are common from mid-July through mid-September. Storms may produce waterfalls as well as flash floods. Autumn tree-color displays begin in September in the high country; in Zion Canyon, autumn colors usually peak in late October. Winter in Zion Canyon is fairly mild. Winter storms bring rain or light snow to Zion Canyon and heavier snow to the higher elevations. Clear days may become quite warm, reaching 60 °F (16 °C); nights are often 20 to 40 °F (−7 to 4 °C). Winter storms can last several days and make roads icy. Zion roads are plowed, except the Kolob Terrace Road which is closed when covered with snow. Winter driving conditions last from November through March.

START POINT LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUILT BY TRINITY HOUSE IN 1836, MARKING ONE OF THE MOST EXPOSED PENINSULAS ON THE ENGLISH COAST. START POINT RUNS SHARPLY ALMOST A MILE INTO THE SEA ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF START BAY NEAR DARTMOUTH. THE LIGHTHOUSE - SITED AT THE VERY END OF THE HEADLAND - GUIDES VESSELS IN PASSAGE ALONG THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.
JAMES WALKER DESIGNED START POINT LIGHTHOUSE IN 1836 AND IT OWES MUCH TO THE GOTHIC MOVEMENT IN ARCHITECTURE OF THE TIME, WITH ITS BATTLEMENTED PARAPET. TWO WHITE LIGHTS WERE ORIGINALLY EXHIBITED, ONE REVOLVING AND ONE FIXED TO MARK THE SKERRIES BANK; A FIXED RED SUBSIDIARY LIGHT STILL MARKS THIS HAZARD. THE OPTIC USED WAS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND USED BY TRINITY HOUSE.
EVEN SO, THE LIGHT WAS FOUND TO BE INADEQUATE IN FOG AND A BELL WAS INSTALLED IN THE 1860S; THE MACHINERY WAS HOUSED IN A SMALL BUILDING ON THE CLIFF FACE AND OPERATED BY A WEIGHT WHICH FELL IN A TUBE RUNNING DOWN THE SHEER CLIFF. A SIREN REPLACED THE BELL AFTER ONLY 15 YEARS.
IN 1871 THE INTERMEDIATE FLOORS OF THE TOWER OF 1836 WERE REMOVED AND EXTRA ACCOMMODATION PROVIDED IN COMMON WITH ALL TRINITY HOUSE STATIONS.
COASTAL EROSION CAUSED THE COLLAPSE OF THE FOG SIGNAL BUILDING IN DECEMBER 1989; THE SITE WAS LEVELLED, A NEW RETAINING WALL BUILT AND A FREE STANDING FOG SIGNAL STACK PUT IN PLACE.
THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS AUTOMATED IN 1993. THE LIGHTHOUSE IS NOW MONITORED AND CONTROLLED FROM TRINITY HOUSE’S PLANNING CENTRE IN HARWICH, ESSEX.

Early morning on December the 29th, the first of two days the 48th FW was flying in between Christmas and New Year.
Start of a new album. A sister album to 'From a Cab'. The original series was shot over the course of ten cab trips covering some fifty miles. Give or take.
'From a Cab in the Rain' was shot over the course of two trips covering a total of two miles. The rate of return for these images, however, will be much, much higher as I liked most of the images that came out.
I hope you do too.
And I hope that all of us have a terrific Tuesday.
