The conversion to black and white has brought more of the detail out in the snow in front of the dogs.
On the outskirts of Buxton class 66 no. 66008 strains on the climb to Hindlow with its load of aggregates while working the 11.55 Tunstead - Briggs ICI (6H22) on a fine 12th June 2014.
The central tower above the crossing collapsed in 1248 . A new central tower was built circa 1315-22. Some 16 years later, in 1338, the records describe the cathedral as enormiter confracta (seriously broken) and enormiter deformata (seriously marred). This probably refers to the straining effects of the new tower on the crossing piers.
The remedy chosen for the cathedral was the scissor arches, built circa 1338-40. They take the strain of the central tower’s weight . The gothic-pointed arches are applied in a unique way by using an upright and an inverted form. There are arch mouldings and circular openings in the spandrels. The design is a type of open screen. However, the strength is in the form. It has been designed to not enclose with a solid form, and therefore not detract from the openness and light of the nave and crossing.
This would have been much better had I taken the Manfrotto and some NDs. Instead I took an excitable labratriever that I am convinced is part dolphin and only got this instead. Schoolboy error.
Having spent the day loading in Gilgandra, 48122/48140 are seen working south through Eumungerie with a fully loaded grain train.

A very simple still-life composition today, Perhaps though if there's just one item, it's not a composition!
This was truly a dangerous shoot!
The bristling giantess advanced menacingly, while I—retreating—crawled backward in timid alarm…
She pressed on relentlessly, and once again I fell back, desperately trying to halt the monster’s advance with flashes straining at full power.
In vain…
Growing ever more intimidated, I was ultimately forced into a shameful, headlong retreat. 😄

Это была воистину опасная съёмка! Ощетинившаяся великанша грозно надвигалась, я, ретируясь, пугливо отползал... Она опять неумолимо наступала – и я снова пятился, пытаясь препятствовать продвижению громадины огнём захлёбывающихся от напряжения вспышек. Тщетно… Робеющий пуще прежнего, в конце концов я был обращён в постыдно-стремглавое бегство. )))
Had it been discovered a decade earlier, Jha Jha in the Bihar State of eastern India would have been a mecca for steam enthusiasts. In 1979 most freight was diesel, but all but the most prestigious expresses were still steam hauled, requiring an engine change at Jha Jha and bankers for most southbound trains over a low range of hills.
Train 50 bound for Howrah (Calcutta) departs Jha Jha on the morning of 12 January 1979 with WP 7446 up front and WG 9276, built by Hitachi of Japan in 1955, banking at the rear.

It's great feeling proud of such kids.
Philippians 3:13
13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Php 3:13.
"I have seen innocents die by our hands, my hands. Worlds burned and savagely destroyed by us. I have striked down hundreds of the Empire's enemies just to please our Emperor. Is this truly the way for people to obey us? I don't care, not anymore. My hatred and rage is what guides me, and that is all what matters. Nothing can stop me."
Comments are appreciated.
Enjoy!
