Hard to believe this was a little more than 6 years ago, and only a couple years after I decided I'd start taking pictures of the trains I spent so much time watching during college (rather than, y'know, actually studying anything).
I had ventured up from Bellingham to Vancouver to visit friends and check out the city's preparations for the 2010 Winter Olympics, and found this pair of geeps that had just positioned some heavyweight CP varnish in the yard at Waterfront Station, presumably for railroad executives in town for the Olympics. This was shot through the glass of the walkway from Waterfront Station to the SeaBus ferry slip, so, pardon the reflection.
The Pier, Castlerock
Throwback to the end of summer. I was here one evening with a good friend of mine taking a few shots and trying to capture something a little bit different. We walked along the beach to this old pier which separates Portstewart Strand, the river Bann flowing into the Irish Sea and Castlerock beach.
The sunlight was providing a nice warm glow onto the pier that evening and it was incredibly strong just off to our left.
It was only when I was home looking at this image on the screen that I began to connect with it more. The pier eventually leads to an end and then the ocean rolls on endlessly. It reminded me of the steps we take in life. Being on the right path is important and being sure of our footing is of utmost importance too.
Proverbs 4v26 we are to "ponder the path of our feet" to give consideration to where we are going and where we will spend eternity.
It's good to ponder our feet and change course to head heaven bound in and only through Christ.
Hope you like the outcome.
Visakhapatnam is a port city and industrial center in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, on the Bay of Bengal. It's known for its many beaches, including Ramakrishna Beach, home to a preserved submarine at the Kursura Submarine Museum. Nearby are the elaborate Kali Temple and the Visakha Museum, an old Dutch bungalow housing local maritime and historical exhibits.
Thanks for your visit.

Twenty years old and out for a full day of girl fun! Sure I looked a bit nervous but still managed to trudge on and do what I wanted. Visited a salon in the morning for a make over and wig styling, then found a nice park to take some photos at , and then went shopping at the mall! I know these feminine button up the back rompers/playsuits aren't in style now but a lot of women were wearing them back then!
This is from the spring of 2013. I just did a Star Wars marathon with a lot of friends yesterday so this seemed appropriate.
This week we are going thirty-nine years to 1984 and KC 12 on Ormond Quay. The bus is dressed for route 70 to Dunboyne. The Dublin United Tramways Company started operating this route in 1934. It passed to CIE in 1945 and Dublin Bus in 1987, and hasn't really changed much over the years (apart from by-passing Blanchardstown). It is one of the few Dublin city services that goes beyond the city and county of Dublin. Dunboyne, in County Meath, is just under 20kms from Dublin city centre.
KC 12 was new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus around 2000.

For Throwback Thursday. This picture of me wearing a Chicago radio station T-Shirt was taken in December, 1982 at my Dad’s house in Winnebago, Illinois. This was during my first leave from the Air Force.
Among our first glamour models from Mexico back in 2011, Alejandra stunned us with her confidence and grace. In this gallery, our photographer captured her in a beautiful natural light setting making every blonde hair sparkle.
Celebrating giving this holiday season, our supporters can enjoy a throwback gallery of Alejandra in addition to our regular updates.

***Decided to merge images from my old Flickr account with my current account. Photos and descriptions from 2007-2009.
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Like I said before I've stumbled on some old photographs which I have retouched recently!! This is one of my favourite of my little sister and cousin . Sometimes I wish they were still this age .
Das Motto diese Woche bei Flickr #TBT lautet: Kameras (#cameras).
Vor vielen vielen Jahren war das fotografieren nur ausgebildeten Fotografen vorbehalten. Heutzutage schießt jeder jederzeit und überall eigene Fotos. Wir wollen daher bei #TBT einmal zurückblicken - auf alte Fotoapparate und Kameras der Vergangenheit.
Postet dafür entweder die URL eures Flickr-Fotos im Kommentarfeld auf unserer Facebook-Seite oder auf Twitter unter Verwendung folgender Hashtags: @Flickr #TBT #cameras
Eine Auswahl der besten Bilder zeigen wir nächste Woche im Flickr Blog.

Used to wear the green headpiece before I swapped to the white one. The green one is cute but I'm short and the white one gives me much needed height!
The outfit is older too, but nothin' wrong with simplicity!
In September 2015, Swansea University opened its new Bay Campus a few miles east of the city centre. Hundreds of students required transport for the first time and despite the best of plans by the University, First Cymru was faced with unprecedented demand for some of its services.
Four Volvo B10BLEs were therefore loaned from First Bristol / Somerset & Avon until five new Alexander Dennis E20D MMCs (67091-5) were delivered in late October. The hired vehicles were allocated to city services to release others for the University network. Service 36 (City Centre-Manselton-Clase-Morriston) was a popular allocation because it can easily accommodate longer vehicles.
Alexander ALX300-bodied 62225 was the only example of the three to carry the current corporate livery, and is captured on Rheidol Avenue, Clase in mid September 2015.
This week we are only going back nine years to EV 21 on Abbey Street with a service on route 31B to Howth Summit. This route started in 1988, originally running to Howth Station via Carrickbrack Road and Howth Summit. In the early 2000s it was cut back to just Howth Summit, operating via Strand Road in Sutton, as well as Carrickbrack Road. The route ended in June 2021 when the Bus Connects network started its roll-out. The 31B, and the similar 31A, were replaced by new route 6.
EV 21 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2007. It was initially based out of Clontarf Garage, but in 2016 the Enviro 400 joined the Dublin Bus tour fleet and lost most of its roof for its new duties. In the background is former Dublin Bus RV 522 in the livery of its new owners - Irlanda Tours.
EV 21 is turning off Marlborough Street onto Abbey Street. In the foreground is the Luas Red Line. Today the Luas Green Line crosses the Red Line at this point as it heads south along Marlborough Street.

Former Santa Fe GP20 3069, showing no patches whatsoever, sits in Mapleton, IL along the KJRY. This unit had been assigned to the now-departed Decatur Junction Railway but now resides here.
This week we are throwing back thirty-four years to D 521 on Parnell Square dressed for route 35. This route started running between the city centre and Finglas in 1952. Initially its terminus was on Ballygall Road, but in 1975 it moved to McKee Road. The route ceased to operate around 1990 when the 19A was extended to McKee Road (The 19A itself was later replaced in part by route 9).
D 521 was delivered new to CIE in 1973. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1991.

This week we are going back 37 years to 1985 and KD 38 on a diverted route 3. This route started running between Whitehall / Larkhill and Sandymount Tower in 1940. In 1972 it was extended to St. John’s Church, near Sydney Parade station, (although the older destination still lingered on as seen here) and in 1990 certain departures were extended to and from UCD Belfield. The route ceased to operate in 2012 when it was replaced by route 1 under Network Direct. The route usually operated via O’Connell Street but for whatever reason it was diverted via Gardiner Street on the day the picture was taken. Not sure if it was connected, but the day before U2 and REM played a concert in Croke Park.
KD 38 was delivered new to CIE in 1981. It had been withdrawn by 1996.
The ad on the side is for British airline Dan Air, founded in 1953. It was sold to British Airways in 1992 for £1.
The Holyhead Bed&Breakfast is still open on Gardiner Street in 2022.

Dancing Queen??? I set the time machine for June 2015! Legs for days was what I was told several times! Care to guess the city or location where this picture was taken??
One of the best days ever, a wonderful afternoon along the Crystal River in the Elk Mountains of Colorado. Hard to believe that was nine years ago, I need to get out there more often.
This week we are going back twenty-five years to 1998 and KC 173 at Connolly Station, dressed for route 27B. This GAC bus was delivered new to CIE in 1986. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus during 2000 and moved to Bus Eireann's school fleet, based out of Tralee in County Kerry. It was withdrawn after 2002.
Route 27B started running between the city centre and Castletimon in 1971. In 2004 it was extended to Harristown (via Swords Road), following the opening of the bus garage there.
KC 173 is parked on what was known as "The Ramp" which led up to Connolly Station. This was demolished in the early-2000s to make way for the Luas tram stop which is level with Amiens Street.

Amtrak F40PH or as Llanuza says "PH40" #347 leads an inbound across the South Branch bridge and is about to duck under 18th St. March, 1990.
Going back eleven years this week to a snow covered UCD Belfield. AV 139 is seen arriving with a service on peak-only Xpresso route 66X. This route started around 1989 as a CitySpeed route between Maynooth or Leixlip and the city centre. Around 2000 it was extended to the college UCD Belfield, and was rebranded as Xpresso. For a period in the 1990s the route operated throughout the day as an express route between Middle Abbey Street and Maynooth. In 2021 the route ceased under Bus Connects when it was replaced by new express peak-only routes X25 and X26.
AV 139 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was withdrawn in 2014 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
December 2010 was probably one of the whitest December's in Ireland in more recent times. 01/12/2010
This week we are going back thirty-four years to D 608 in Swords with a service on route 43. This is the third route to use the number 43. The original route 43 operated between 1925 and 1939 connecting the city centre with Killester. The second route 43 went to Mount Merrion between 1940 and 1966. The Swords version started in 1986, operating to / from the city centre via Kinsealy. Originally terminating at the main stop in Swords as seen here, it was extended to Swords Business Park in the early 2000s where it still operates to this day.
D 608 was delivered new to CIE in Dublin in 1974. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1993 when it was sold for scrap.
Ryans Bar in the background is no longer standing, having been cleared to provide better views of Swords Castle behind it.

**Picture was actually taken in February and not July as the label says.**
Happy new year out there!
I moved to Iceland recently to finish my bachelor, so hopefully i can experiment with some landscape photos soon.

This week we are going back only 11 years, to the final days of a bus route in Dublin in Autumn 2010.
Dublin Bus AW 18 is seen at the terminus of route 4A at Stradbrook, near Deansgrange, in the south-eastern part of the city. Route 4A started in November 2007, running between Harristown (on the Northside of Dublin) and Stradbrook (on the Southside) via the City Centre. It was a derivative of route 4 which ran between Harristown and Blackrock and together they provided extra capacity along the Rock Road on the Southside, and the Ballymun Road on the Northside. However, under Network Direct it was decided to merge both routes into one, with the 4 extended to Monkstown Avenue via Stradbrook. This extension was also planned to replace part of the 46A route, which was removed from Monkstown Farm. These changes took place in September 2010, giving the 4A a lifespan of two years, 10 months.
AW 18 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was one of twenty bendy-buses delivered that year, as a trial to see if that type of bus could work here. After spending time on a number of routes (trying to find some they could be suitable on as the narrow streets of Dublin provided a challenge), they settled down on route 10 eventually. In 2006 they migrated to the new route 4, so were also naturally allocated to the 4A in 2007. The end of the 4A also marked the end of the AW Class, and over the following months they started to be withdrawn with them all gone by early-2011. A few of them went on to have careers in the United Kingdom. AW 18 itself was scrapped in the UK.

Well, not really....
WC GP40-2 3027 sits in the west end of Brantford yard after being set off by a westbound freight on June 23rd, 2006
This week we are going to the 1995 and D 837 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 16. to Grange Road. This bus route started operating between Whitehall and Terenure in 1939. In 1955 it started running between Santry and Grange Road. In 2001 the southern terminus moved to Ballinteer and in 2012 the route was merged with the 16A to run from Dublin Airport to Ballinteer.
D 837 was delivered new to CIE in 1979. It was withdrawn by Dublin bus two months after this photograph was taken, in September 1995, and sold for scrap.
Beside the front of the bus is Clerys Department Store. It opened in 1853 and closed in 2015. The site is currently being redeveloped.

Fifty years ago this month a new type of bus took to the streets of Dublin. The Leyland Atlantean D Class was a bit different from the buses that had gone before it, in that it had a front door entrance, and a rear-engine. The class reached a total of 840 members, spread over two types. No subsequent class of bus has reached such high numbers, the AV/X coming closest with 648 members. Also the D Class operated in cities across Ireland, not just Dublin.
D 599 went into service in 1975 and was withdrawn in 1991. Although the first D Class had a nice navy/cream livery, they spent most of their lives in this tan livery, which did not weather well. D 599 is seen on O'Connell Street with a 19 to Glasnevin. 17/11/1987
This week we are going back thirty-one years to 1990 and KD 348 passing through College Green on route 10. This route started in 1940, operating between the Phoenix Park and Donnybrook. Around 1970 it was extended south to Belfield. This route has probably been used by a lot of people over the years, either heading to Dublin Zoo in the Phoenix Park on the northside, or to go study at University College Dublin in Belfield on the southside. However, in 2010 the route was removed from the network by Network Direct. Route 46A replaced it on the northside, and route 39A on the southside.
KD 348 was delivered new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn around 1999/2000. Over the years it wore many different all-over advertisements. Here it is advertising Lee Cooper jeans. It also advertised PMPA Insurance and Telecom Eireann CallCards.
