The third shot of one of the most amazing buildings I have ever seen, the first two shots were these www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/50099346213/in/datepo..., www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/51169723336/in/datepo....
It really is difficult to catch the beauty of this miracle.
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.

One of those moments when you stop thinking about whether you are in the best place and just shoot......one not to be forgotten!.......and one light range far beyond that of a camera.
Katarina lounges in the rule of thirds. As usual I cropped this photo into the 4:5 aspect ratio and lamented the fact that my camera does not default to this shape, especially for vertical compositions. My rant is over!
I took a picture of lovely Emma and Cris taking a picture. Now that i see they've both uploaded theirs, i thought it 'd be fun to join in with a third perspective while trying out a few new things.

P.s. Nip nops reluctantly covered
Still have our milk delivered and the diversity of bottles all very obvious here.
Just a bit of fun!

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

With a smoky EMD SD70ACe third in the power consist, Union Pacific's Roseville, California - Green River, Wyoming merchandise train rumbles into Echo, Utah.
With 52 loads, 56 empties, and 8,369 gross tons on the drawbar, the train is making a steady 30 mph. Momentum will soon collapse when the MRVGR 30 hits the 1.14% grade at the foot of the 25-mile slog to the 6,792 ft. summit at Wahsatch.
For the third time that week, AMTK 108 is leading a requalification run for the Adirondack, which has still not resumed service after covid disruptions (news articles are mentioning a resumption of service in the spring). Here it is backing up towards Central Station, with the right of way for the REM light rail line above at left.
For the third Sunday in a row, 20227 Sherlock Holmes and 20189 are being used on The Shakespeare Express, seen here arriving at Birmingham Snow Hill with 5T50 from Tyseley Standard Gauge Steam Trust.

First time the cloud came into play, second got blocked by a Brighton bound unit so this was my third attempt to get a 313 unit leaving. Here sees 313203 leaving Lewes with the 2C26 1141 Brighton - Seaford. Oh and the Brighton bound unit passed about a half a minute later so it was close 11/6/22.
The light was really bad when I found this composition a few weeks ago, so I didn't shoot anything worth keeping. I revisited my comp again a week ago when the clouds were looking really promising, but unfortunately they all drifted away well before sunset, so once again the results were mostly bleh!
So I wasn't expecting much when I left home in the rain for another attempt on Saturday afternoon. But the rainclouds were starting to lift towards the West, and I was hoping that they might clear up enough to let some nice light through. Fortunately my hunch paid off big time... I got exactly the kind of light I was hoping for!

I’m guilty, baby
I’m guilty, baby
If having a bleeding heart is a crime
If loving you means I’m serving life
I’m guilty, baby
How bad I need you
Ain’t enough words to say
Is it really over or just on a different page
I’m guilty, baby
I’m guilty, baby
If having a bleeding heart is a crime
If loving you means I’m serving life
I’m guilty, baby.
I've now had my tripod in this exact same spot on at least four occasions in the last two months... each time desperately hoping to get the shot that I had pre-visualised... but had not yet captured!
But... if I've attempted to shoot from this exact same spot four times already... then you might now be asking... why is the title of this post "Third Time Lucky"?
Well... because this is yesterday evening's shot... hah hah... nothing that I shot there at sunset today came close to what I managed to capture in this image.
The more you practice... the luckier you get!! :)

I spent some time berthed in Rosyth back 2013, a 30sec LE looking back down the Forth towards the then 2 bridges.
