The driver of Chinese JS 8190 thins the lubricating oil for his 2-8-0. The sub zero temperatures in the Sandouling area of North West China were turning the oil into a grease which had to be thinned before it could be used to top up the oil wells of this fine locomotive.
This is a scene which is now confined to the history books as I am informed the use of these steam locos has ceased.

Particularly dark sand among the more usual lighter colour, made for some interesting patterns. This was actually in a thin film of water where some run off came off the hill at the back of the beach.
This was taken at sunrise on a January morning in Yosemite Valley. Ice was forming on the edge of the Merced River at the location known by photographers as Tahiti Beach. The gold color is a reflection of warm morning sunlight on the face of El Capitan. I liked the interplay of the golden fractal patterns of the thin ice with the blue water just underneath, which created a cool abstract.
This is a tight crop of a close-range shot taken at 173mm, the crop probably spanning a few inches in width.
In contrast to my Christmas post displaying the gentler side of whitetail bucks, this image has more violent undertones. Here the dominant buck in his area casts a side eye and postures with his ears pinned back, communicating that the foreground buck has come to close to him and his doe.
“God is working to raise your intellect and will to the highest perfection of supernatural activity in Union with His Holy Spirit. By pouring His Wisdom into your soul, He is accomplishing the greatest work of His love, forming the perfect likeness of Christ , His incarnate Word, in you, and perfecting His church through everything that you allow Him to perform by the agency of your free will transformed and elevated in Him. Praise and glorify God, you have tasted the first fruits of this marvelous grace, and pray to Him to continue His great work in your soul. Withdraw yourself from all care; trust not in yourself but in Him; do not be anxious or solicitous to perform great works for Him until He leads you Himself, by obedience and love and the events which His providence directs, to undertake the works He has planned for you and by which He will use you to communicate the fire of His love to other men.” - Thomas Merton from The Inner Experience (p. 103)
The level of this beaver pond had reached the level of the road, so Public Works let some of the water out. The result was these weird ice shelves held up by brush. As the level went down, the ice collapsed except the supported parts. It looked bizarre! *See Large
NOTE: The background (in the rectangle note) is actually water. The foreground parts are little islands of brush in the pond.
Multiculturalism here is what politicians boast about on independence day and at pre-election speeches. Its what makes this country strong, gives it its diversity, and makes us who we are. Its our heritage as a nation. Our pride. Truth is, multiculturalism cuts both ways. Its the reason for our fears, remorse, resentment, spite and estrangement from each other. While some would share the same space and immerse in friendly banter others scrawl in blood a fundamentalist prophecy yet to be delivered. This is my Malaysia. That which promises to save us may be the death of us all.

If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice
Pink Floyd--Thin Ice
This was the 2nd song that came up in iTunes. That's how I came up with the "Lockdown Song"
On this the last day of summer I am sitting on the beach, mesmerized by the thin horizon; it changes every day; every season. Bonus the Beacon Light sits on a thin spit of land & rocks to protect the entrance to the boat launch.
“Because the birdsong might be pretty,
But it's not for you they sing,
And if you think my winter is too cold,
You don't deserve my spring.”
― Erin Hanson
The other afternoon and evening I lugged around a heavy tripod and some heavy lenses - and almost came away empty handed. I thought that I could capture some nice Bokeh images in the city - but it just wasn't happening. So before heading home, I decided to shoot a singular pano set. I'm still impressed at how well LR is able stitch them together. Sometime during the evening I'd set the camera to ISO 400. Consequently, I've had to DeNoise each of the seven vertical frames (20 mins each) before combining them. The image is 19,758 x 6,818 pixels - though Flickr will not let you zoom into 1:1.
Lens is the Auto Rikenon ‘Tomioka’ 55mm f1.4
