Number 2 in the series folks. As you can see he is still straining to lift the fish up and his body is leaning to the left for more leverage, but again to no avail. Your heart goes out to him and you want to try to help but of course you cannot, and as he struggles you know that he will figure it out, and when he does the drama then continues.
Have a great day everyone, sorry for the long story, as my friend Larry would say Bill it is a little windy, thanks for stopping by.
I know this image looks redundant folks but it is a part of the story, but the look did change, but apologize anyway, the story get better.

A model I started about 3 years ago but only got around to finishing recently. It was originally going to be just the dropship, but the walker itself is a project I took up just recently. The tricky part was getting them to connect and separate easily without the weight of the walker putting too much strain on the bricks

The blond warrior prince strains against the chains binding him to the ornate golden pillar. The room seems to be full of cosmic energy; intricate details and textures evoke a sense of depth, mysticism and wonder.

San Francisco - 2013
I have spent the better part of July and August straining my neck to look to the sky and capture the lines and shapes of the city. Its been very enlightening and I have learned a great deal. This is the first of my efforts that I am sharing, its of the Embarcadero center buildings in the heart of the financial district of San Francisco. I will probably share a few more of these structures as I seem to be drawn in by them. Typically I find them to be drab, almost war department like buildings, yet they are far more photogenic then they appear at first glance. Imposing in design, yet not really. Regardless they make a great study.
I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain,
not to shrink to a grain of sand.
Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all
and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

Have a happy TGIF friends!!!
We are straining toward the vision
while the new golden calf
is a clown
in our wretched loss of vision.
The thing that makes us breath
and cannot be inhaled in our breathing
is so fucking hard to know.
14A crosses the iconic Monbulk Creek trestle bridge in Selby with a special testing train to Menzies Creek.
Specially fitted out with an array of sensors to capture all kinds of performance metrics, it's hoped that the data captured will go a long way towards helping the railway understand how to increase the performance of these ageing locomotives; measurements included cylinder pressure, piston travel, air reservoir pressure, and in future will also include drawbar strain.
To maximise the range of the samples taken, the crew ran the loco under different conditions, such as stop starts, full speed, low speed, etc. With thousands of readings taken every second, the data samples will provide a level of insight that the Baldwin engineers of the 1800s would never have dreamed of.
Today, we went to the extremely picturesque Llyn Efyrnwy in Powys, with incredible weather too! Our day started at 0300 with the sound of an unwanted alarm. We wanted to be out of the house by 0345 to ensure we hit the lake in time for Dawn. It was worth it! Not a single car or person in sight! We had time to capture a number of shots and then head to the Lake Vyrnwy Hotel & Spa for breakfast before coming across anybody!
What a day for photography. Clear dark blue skies all day, and a great opportunity to teach Gemma how to use her new camera.
This shot was taken at around 0615 just as the sun broke the horizon and lit the western banks of the reservoir.
The straining tower on Llyn Efyrnwy is a a filter which strains material in the water via a metal mesh before it flows along the aqueduct to Liverpool. The tower sits 47m tall (32m of which is above water). The water from Llyn Efyrnwy is carried 68 miles to Merseyside along the Vyrnwy large Diameter Trunk Main (LDTM) aqueduct originally constructed in 1881.h
It’s a bright mid-winter day and a frigid wind blowing through tall pines creates the only sound audible for miles. I strain to hear anything else at all, but for the occasional snap of a branch the silence is almost deafening. Suddenly, from high atop a nearby pine a song erupts. It’s a cheerful song - high pitched and almost gleeful. And a tiny bird does it’s best to fill a woodland stage with charismatic melody. It’s a bird with a twist… a bill that doesn’t merge in a typical fashion, at all. Instead of a mandible that neatly into an upper maxilla above, these structures crisscross sitting alongside one another. At first glance one would thing this poor, unfortunate creature was injured or deformed. But as one continues to watch, the realization occurs that this is one of the more interesting yet subtle manifestations of evolutionary change, allowing the bird to pluck the smallest of seeds nestled deeply betwixt the scales of tiny pine cones. Nature’s marvels are all around us. One needs only to take the time to keep an open eye and open mind.
In the dimly lit corridors of a high-security laboratory, scientists toiled in secrecy on the enigmatic project known as Mutagenic Strain X. Unbeknownst to the world outside, the project held the potential to revolutionize medical science—or unleash an unforeseen catastrophe.
MRL 355, the last of its kind on the Montana Rail Link, growls and roars as it digs into the grade on the east slope of Bozeman Pass. The grade just started a mile or so back in Livingston, and there's still nearly 15 miles to go for this pair of elderly EMDs.
