This G-model was stored by the USN in 1975 as 1S526. After a spell with CAL Fire as Tanker 76, it seems to have moved on to the USFS.
Currently, this 737 touts a 56-seat all-first-class interior. Quite different from how it was set up before delivery to Amerijet in May 2005- the airplane's whole career until earlier in 2005 had been with coach-only Southwest Airlines as N83SW.
This image is a smaller version (about two thirds) of the one venerated in the Apparition Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal. Its made of oak wood, hand painted, goldleafed, and hand-carried across Europe, as penance for a particular omission on my part..
She sat with me on the bus, car and airplane I took, and stayed with me in each hotel room I ever stayed all across Europe, for a period of 17 days.
Ave Maria!

this shot shows the back of one of the complete engines..it was raf bullets in these that bought the dornier down,mid Battle of Britain..
This was one of the first Toraja-style buildings we saw. We ended up seeing hundreds or maybe thousands.
This is the Ranch Drive-in, Bothell, Washington State. When I was a teenager, kids with a little money or a little class hung out here, while the tough kids who drank beer from bottles in paper bags hung out at the more affordable Arctic Circle (Oops, I said A&W before) drive-in down the street. I rarely had enough money for either.
When I got my first car, a worn-out 1960 Volvo, and finally got it running I went out for lunch with some friends here at the Ranch. My poor car didn't have the shocks for the speedbump and I lost my muffler here.
Gosh, I guess there's a lot of history here.
Stopped at a little store on the Woodstock Square after Sunday brunch and found some interesting wine to buy.
This is the locomotive used in the film ' Holiday Camp'.. BR No 69881 and was shown at the start of the film arriving at Sandsend station with passengers...the engine was specially cleaned up for its starring role in the movie and went on to be quite a celebrity on this coastal route....the view is above the cliffs at Sandsend....Photo.

This must have been for a science fair project. I was clearly unfamiliar with any principles of good data visualization, even that it was useful not to draw the data on top of the title.
This beautiful villa was built in 1912 by a wealthy German family who were one of the big importers of Petroleum. In this street there were about 17 other big villa's which all belonged to German families. During WWI the English bombed the villa's, but miraculously this villa and one other were spared from destruction.
After the war it was bought by a shipbuilder who lived there till the 1960's. It was then bought by the Provincial Government who wanted to use it as an office. This lasted for some years, but also they left... In 1991 it was bought by a real estate trader for just more than EUR 600.000 and guess it's now worth much much more. But still the place is not sold and is awaiting it's new owners.....
Proof that I tried to work around the lack of gray cheese graters. Would've worked, but not too sturdy.
This is a photograph from the Le Chéíle 'Leixlip 5KM' Road Race, Jog, and Fun Run was held in Leixlip, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday May 4th 2013 at 11:00. This race has steadily grown in stature over the past number of years and now is a well known fixture in the racing calendar in May annually. This was a big aattendance at the race which finished with the last 700 meters on the beautiful new tartan track belonging to Le Cheile AC at the Leixlip Amenities center. As always This was a great race with a great atmosphere. The weather was reasonably good (except for a head wind at a few places on the course). Good race times were reported by many participants. Congratulations to Kevin Roche and all of Le Chéíle AC for their huge volunteer work that goes into making this race the growing success that it is. As always the post race refreshments were awesome with some fabulous treats available for everyone. This year Lidl and Applegreen were title sponsors with support for prizes from Runworx. There was great support from local Kildare clubs and club of the day must go to Sliabh Buidhe Rovers AC of Ferns in Wexford who brought over 30 athletes up on a club day out for the race. The race was supported by FIT Magazine. Junior races for children aged between 7 - 16 years old took place on the track at 10:30 before the main race at 11:00. The race was AAI Permit Approved with a certified course measurement.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
This Austin motor grader has "full dual drive" - I'm not entirely sure what that refers to but I'm certain it's related to the fact that this machine has a grand total of 4 steering wheels.
this is the first year my pomegranate bush is blooming and bearing fruit. I planted it as a very young thing about four years ago. I look forward to eating my own home grown pomegranate.

This may not seem like a big deal to the anal amongst us...but I cleared my desk today!!! It's been a MESS since before Christmas... I'm so happy.
This color is gorgeous. The car is gorgeous. The wheels are gorgeous. And the photo? I will let you decide. 1st one of a big set.
This Chevrolet Corvette is the 1st Vette I had a chance to photograph and I decided to stay away from my Light Painting technique. This was all done with a single flash.

Behind the photographer on the left (see note) there are some luxury low rise condos going in and the temporary fence you see in front of the hotel is to protect the new landscaping that is being done.
On December 19, 1885, Elisha S. Babcock, retired railroad executive from Evansville, Indiana; Hampton L. Story, of the Story and Clark Piano Company of Chicago; and Jacob Gruendike, president of the First National Bank of San Diego, bought all of Coronado and North Island for $110,000.
A 24-page prospectus titled "Coronado Beach. San Diego, California" asserted that "The Coronado Beach Company has been organized with a capital of One Million Dollars …." The officers were Babcock, president, Story, vice-president and Gruendike, secretary-treasurer. Also involved with the company by now were three men from Indiana: railroad baron Josephus Collett of Terre Haute; lumber merchant Heber Ingle of Patoka and John Inglehart, a miller, who later became famous through the development of Swansdown flour.
The men hired architect James Reid, a native of New Brunswick, Canada, who had practiced in Evansville and Terre Haute. Younger brother Merritt Reid, a partner in Reid Brothers, the Evansville firm, stayed in Indiana but brother Watson Reid helped supervise the 2,000 laborers. Construction of the hotel began in March 1887 and was finished just 11 months later in February 1888 at the cost of one million dollars. Labor was provided largely by Chinese immigrants from San Francisco and Oakland. The hotel was built as a premier resort for the wealthy. Built without the use of a single nail, instead using wooden pegs, it is one of the oldest and largest all-wooden buildings in California and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
The unique design of the Hotel served as the basis for Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

This yellow house is one the very last remaining houses in this part of the downtown core, near Pacific Street. It was built in 1888 and has been a restaurant for many years. In the now photo, it looks like the top porch railing is getting a re-do along with some detailing. The addition to the left has gone through minor changes but I wonder if that rooftop patio still exists? Also, development behind this block and beyond has transformed this area even from when the then photo was taken in the 1970s. Good to see this old gem still around! The area used to be filled with houses like this at one point.

After the success of sister loco B-BDH No.12 'John Southland' delivered in 1983 the RH&DR ordered a second locomotive of the same type from TMA Automation Ltd of Erdington. No.14 'Captain Howey' seen here was delivered in 1989. Both locos had a 112hp Perkins 6 cylinder diesel engines and were the mainstay of the Kent County Council schools train contract which paid the railway to bring pupils to the John Southland School in New Romney from the scattered costal communities north of the town towards Hythe. The school has since changed name to the Marsh Academy School and the loco has followed suit loosing its original name to be replaced by a new one, "J.B. Snell'.
Here B-BDH No.14 'Captain Howey' (TMA 2336/1989) is seen arriving at Burmarsh Road Halt, Dymchurch with the 10.10 New Romney to Hythe. This loco takes its name from the builder of the line Captain J.E.P Howey a millionaire with a passion for fast cars, planes and trains.
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 5th of October 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.

this shot reminds me of how amazing my eyes can be... (and how someone used to refer to them)
oh, and the sepia... is just for you, Andy!
[could've been Day 333]
This bug, which was actually less than 1/2" long was incredibly vivid - an iridescent gren with blue higlights depnding on the view. I took 20-30 exposures of him but unfortunately, due to the wind, and the fact that I had about 3 Angstroms of depth of field, this was the best, sharpest one of the batch. I'm going to go back next week to see if I can get a sharper version.
This sculpture used to be sited next to Watford Central Library, but was moved due to vandalism and re-sited here in Cheslyn Gardens.
I was trying on my old bathing suits today (97 degrees F!) to see what still fits. Suddenly, I though of Las Vegas. If I can't be there for real, I figured why not do a cheesy cut and paste. This was a 10 minute rush job as I don't want to be late for Saturday's pre-cocktail cocktails! PS This one has a stretch mark on the butt so it will be retired to roof wear only.
