A favorite location near Clogheen Co. Tiperray. Seems theres some renovation work in progress on the stone walling and house..Still, I really love the "old world" feel of the place.
There was a lot of strong sunlight so it was quite a challenge to get a decent exposure although I was pleased with the overall composition which was a little experimental.
On the 3rd October 3013 no. 90711 clanks through Keighley station enroute to the Worth Valley.
This picture is as taken and the only obvious give always that it is not the 1960s that I can spot are the steam heating pipe on the buffer beam, the electrification post in the station, 'Worth Valley' on the notice boards and the warning signs on the bridge. Can anyone spot any others?
Looking through a sign (it says "Park") by the Santa Monica farmer's market.

Gainsborough Trent Junctions (Carr Lane), and B16 number 61434 heads a through goods towards the Town's Lea Road Station in March 1961. Of interest to Gainsborough folk are the hut-type buildings in the bottom right corner - I think they are contractor's huts, left over from (at that time) the recent construction of "Spillers".
The locomotive is passing the old Trent Junctions signal box, which was demolished when the new box (the one that is there today) was opened on the other side of the line (about where the photographer must have been stood, in fact), in 1964.
61434 was built at Darlington in November 1922, and was withdrawn from service on June 30th, 1964. She was finally cut up at Hughes Bolckows, Battleship Wharf, North Blyth in September '64.
Apologies for the "spotty" quality of this shot, but the original negative is a little battered - but still a good photograph, I think, and worth posting.

AZ 188 through arch bridge over Roosevelt Lake above the Roosevelt Dam on the Salt River in Gila and Maricopa Counties, Arizona. The steel box rib through-arch bridge was completed in 1990.
The Roosevelt Lake Bridge was built to remove traffic from the top of Roosevelt Dam. It is the longest two-lane, single-span, steel-arch bridge in North America. In 1995, the Roosevelt Lake Bridge was selected as one of twelve most spectacular bridges in the United States by the American Consulting Engineers Council (ACEC).

30+ years in health care and I thought there wasn't much else anyone could throw at me that I couldn't manage and now the world seems upside down. My small faith based hospital has numerous stenciled messages throughout the hospital - the prayers, scripture, and other brief sayings. This one is so powerful to me right now - the people I work with are, hands down, the greatest health care workers in the world. Please, for the sake of all health care workers, stay home right now, flatten the curve and be safe.

Young boys walking towards their school at Hanafi Zened high school using a concrete bridge built through the support of UNDP.
Villagers of Ghozo-Omerz, a village of 120 families in Panjshir province, used to be cut off from schools and hospitals by a fast flowing river. Parents were afraid to send their children to school because some had fallen in and died. Now they can cross the river using a bridge constructed through the support of UNDP.

Looking through an alleyway to the other side always seems so interesting. Like a framed moment in reality. So I suppose this picture is now part of the infinite glide outwards from the scene contained within.

We recently had a week’s holiday to take – Jayne’s job dictates my holidays – we went through the usual process of leaving it late and then desperately selecting a shortlist of cities where we thought the weather might be ok, after a reasonably short flight and we can fly from the north of England. Budapest was the chosen destination.
Budapest is touted as possibly the most beautiful city in Europe and we had a stream of people tell us that it was fantastic. It is. I was looking forward to getting there, no agenda other than walking, photographing the sights and trying to get off the beaten track. We certainly walked – over 70 miles – I photographed it ( I’m a bit embarrassed to say how many shots but it was a lot ) but I’m not sure we got off the beaten track as much as I wanted to.
We flew over Eastern England (and home actually – a first for us) and out over Europe. It was a late afternoon flight on a stunning day, one of the more interesting flights I’ve had. I was glued to the window watching the world go by, wondering about all of lives being played out beneath us. It was dark when we arrived. We were staying on the Buda or Castle Hill side of the city. What we didn’t know was, we were staying in one of the most prominent hotels in the city, sat on the hilltop overlooking Budapest. The Hilton sits on an historic sight and features in every photo taken of the Castle District from Pest. We had time to get out before bedtime and photograph the Matthias Church next door – floodlit – like all of the major buildings in Budapest.
Unfortunately after leaving the best weather of the year in the UK, Budapest was forecast to be a bit dull and cool – not what we wanted. There was occasional sun over the first two days but it was generally grey. Now I have to admit, I let the dullness get me down, I took photos because I wasn’t sure how the week would unfold but I was fairly sure that I was wasting my time. The photos would be disappointing and if it was sunny later we would have to revisit all of the famous landmarks again to get something that I was happy with. This is essentially what happened. The next four days were gorgeous and we did revisit, more than once all of the places that we walked to in the first two days. This meant that we didn’t have the time to go “off piste” or venture further afield as much later in the week.
The sun was rising before seven and we were staying in the best location for watching it rise. By day three I was getting up at 6.00 (5.00 our time) and getting out there with my gear. By day four I was using filters and tripod, not something I usually bother with despite always having this gear with me, and dragging it miles in my backpack. One morning I was joined by a large and noisy party of Japanese photographers, they appeared to have a model with them who danced around the walls of the Fisherman’s Bastion being photographed. Once the orange circle started to appear above the city they started clicking at the horizon like machine guns. We all got on well though and said goodbye as we headed off for breakfast – still only 7.15am.
By 8.00am everyday we were out on foot wandering along the top of Castle Hill wondering where to go that day. We tend to discover the sights as we walk on a city break, frequently discovering things as we head for a distant park or building and research it afterwards with a glass of wine. It works for us. We walked out to Heroes’ Square and beyond, returning by less well known streets. We walked along the Danube to Rákóczi Bridge a couple of times then back into Pest using a different route. Having been under the thumb of Russia for so long and considering its turbulent past there are lots of large Russian style monuments, tributes to great struggles, or the working man – very socialist and very much like Prague in a lot of respects. The Railway stations were also very similar to Prague, you could walk across the tracks and no one bothered. In the main station, now famed for the migrant crisis a few weeks previously, there was a mixture of very new and very old rolling stock from the surrounding countries, all very interesting. Considering that this station is the first thing some visitors to the city will see it is an appalling state. One side of the exterior is shored up and fenced off. This contrasts with the expensive renovation work that has been well executed in the city centre. It really is like stepping into the past when you enter the station building. It all seems to work efficiently though, unlike the UK.
Transport in Budapest is fascinating. Trams everywhere, trolley buses, ancient and new, bendybuses, again, very old and very new, the underground metro, yellow taxis in enormous numbers and of course the river and boats. This never ending eclectic mix seems to operate like clockwork with people moved around in vast numbers seamlessly. The trams looked packed at any time of day. Anyone dealing with tourists seemed to speak very good English, which is just as well as we didn’t have any grasp of Hungarian. Cost wise it was a very economical week for us in a capital city.
Once the weather (or light, to be precise) improved, I cheered up and really enjoyed Budapest. A common comment after visiting is that , although you’ve “done Budapest” you wouldn’t hesitate to go back, which isn’t always the case after a city visit. As ever, I now have a lot of work to do to produce a competent album of work. I think I will end up discarding a lot of the early days material – but then again, I’m not renowned for my discarding skills.
Thank you for looking.
We made a trip through the north of Uganda. If you would like to see some pictures of it please visit my blog. I know it´s in german but you can still enjoy the photos. uganda-for-a-year.blogspot.de
taking a small plane through the canyons of the MIddle Fork of the Salmon river to catch up with a white water rafting trip
One from the local beach. The light was breaking through the cloud cover and creating some beautiful patches of light over the sea. I wanted a long exposure with nearly all sky and the sunlit sea but it never quite came off. I liked the combination of sea movement and water movement in this one.
A long exposure taken around midday. Handily it is possible to look through the live view on the 5D when the light is so strong, so you don't have to keep undoing the filter. I have a Big Stopper on order but there is a really long delay. I hope that will solve the problem for good there. I am also thinking about a Genus Fader filter, if you have any experience of one, please share your thoughts. I am sure the Singh Ray is better but I can't afford it I think. I am concerned about the colour cast which I have seen as being green? Would love to know what you think as I have seen one for £85. Thanks for stopping by.

Improving soils through movable Kraals to enhance productivity of fodder crops
Nathaniel Dube and his wife are the proud owners of a healthy herd of 35 beasts. Like most farmers with large herds, there isn’t always enough forage for his cattle in the grazing land, especially in the dry seasons. The Dubes were provided with fodder seed by the Livestock project, which has assisted them to grow supplementary nutritious food for their cattle. Their soils are unfortunately of poor quality so in order to improve them, the Dubes are using movable kraals to enhance the soild quality and boost their productivity. There were also taught how to identify diseases, castration, dehorning and other animal husbandry practices. Armed with knowledge on providing more nutritious feed for his animals and taking care of their general health, Nathaniel looks forward to selling his cattle at higher prices, when the dry season approaches.
