Oh my, this one is cringey...
But quite possibly the most fond memory of all.
Anyway, this one dates back to... *checks date* 2013?! I was 11 then. Woah.
Anywho, this is from ye' ol' long retired LEGO.com Lord of the Rings Gallery. Pip's People was a little comic series thing I did about Pip interviewing various Middle-Earth characters and getting hurt %75 of the time. :P
It ran for three seasons of ten episodes on the LotR gallery and was continued later on the LEGO.com General Gallery.
Ya' know, a comedy thing would be kinda' neat here... I'll have to think about trying that sometime.
It's October 22, 1999, and CSX local Y101 has just finished dropping off a cut of cars at the North Baltimore grain elevator for loading. CSX is only a few months into the Conrail acquisition and numerous variations of paint can be seen on trains all across the now even larger CSX system. With no other customers between here and Fostoria, Y101 will head back West to Defiance yard where it will tie down until the following day.
In reality, this is CSX train M558 with a load of LTEX bound units, presumably headed for scrap. This unit has definitely seen better days, and from the looks of it, this may be its last mainline ride. Also in the consist were 3 SW9/1200's and one former SP tunnel motor.

The legendary Dagupan Bus Co 510 Mitsubishi bus heading for Dagupan. Movie from Dolphy's Bugoy Goes To Congress.
This week we are going back seventeen years to 2008, and to RV 621 on Frederick Street North with a service on route 40C from Finglas.
Route 40C started running between the city centre and Finglas in 1973. Its terminus was in Finglas South on Ratoath Road, and it may have been the first bus route in Dublin to use the C suffix. The route ceased to operate in 1995 when route 40 went over to CitySwift, but had returned by 2000, this time running between the city centre and Finglas Place. In 2003 it was extended north to St. Margaret's Road. The route ceased to operate in 2009, when it and route 40B were replaced by new route 240. This was part of the network rationalisation to reduce costs. However, teh route number unofficially lived on and was used on short workings on route 40 which terminated in city centre and did not complete the full journey.
RV 621 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn towards the end of 2012, and subsequently disposed of.

as I prep for another journey, I fondly remember last years Death Valley trip. Looking forward to the new journey !
Do check it out in large format....
Actually, I have no idea what I photographed here some years ago somewhere in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It reminds me a bit of foam on a water surface in an artistic pattern reflecting the blue sky, but I'm really not sure about it.
Straight from the camera almost in this way.

This week we are going back thirty-nine years to another demonstrator bus in Dublin. SC 1 / 405 UZO is seen crossing O'Connell Bridge on its way to Tallaght. This bus had a Marshall body bus on a Scania chassis and spent a number of months on test with CIE around 1982. By this time CIE had received around 100 of the KD Bombardier double deckers, which would eventually end with KD 366. The demonstrator is also painted in a similar two-tone green livery that the KDs were delivered in. Following its time with CIE, this Scania demonstrator joined the fleet of AA Motor Services in Scotland. It was withdrawn in the mid-1990s.
The bus is displaying route 2 but more likely it was on route 65A. The bus regularly worked a service on route 2 into Dublin city centre from Sandymount and then did the 09:00 departure on the 65A to Embankment in Tallaght. The 65A was removed from the network in 1994.
On a final note, the truck beside the bus is also a CIE vehicle, this one from the freight division.

QGRY 6908, RLHH 3404, RLHH 3049, and QGRY 2301 working to assemble their train at Brantford on June 1st, 2018
Circa early 2009. Follower of Argentaros and another of the seven mysterious Quntaino, the beings hatched from the keystone eggs on Terra Nui.
Another fairly old throwback MOC, Snimurai here does have a pretty straightforward build using the Inika frame, but I think the Karzahni parts were used to good effect.
Back in late 2016, when I first began to learn how to get the most out of a camera, I discovered the magic of Neutral Density filters and Long Exposure Photography. At that time for me I swear I never captured an image where the exposure was less than 5 seconds. Streaky, cloud dragged skies and water that was either surreally smooth or ghost like mist, I was obsessed.
Since then, as my tastes have changed in what I like to shoot, I’ve begun to use filters less and less. To the point where now, it’s unusual for me to use anything other than a Circular Polariser when I shoot water.
But from time to time conditions present themselves where I default back to my original instincts and reach for the filters. Consider this my “throwback”…
Circa late 2008. Jungle cat Rahi that live solitary lives hunting in the Punt Nui forests.
That color distribution leaves a lot to be desired, but overall I think this stands up decently well for Rahi I made back in the day.
In the later 90's I felt like I was managing to become a little more refined in my presentation after some rather clumsy attempts in the earlier years. Unfortunately had yet to have that epiphany, the one about how a pretty smile will make vanity photos much more appealing.
This week we are going back twenty-one years to 2004 and to RA 320 parked on Hawkins Street, dressed for route 38.
Route 38 has a bit of a complicated history. From 1939 to 1973 it ran between the City Centre and Ashtown, and from 1958 to 1972 it also ran between the City Centre and Kinvara Park. Services continued to run between the City Centre and Ashtown until 1977, but these were part of the 38A and 39 timetable. In the 1990s the 38 returned, this time between the City Centre and Lady's Well. From around 1994 to around 1998 it ran to Tyrrelstown before reverting back to Lady's Well. In 2002 it was extended to Damastown and the western terminus has remained there since. Also from 2002 until 2010 the city centre terminus was on Hawkins Street, as seen here. It then moved to the Burlington Road area. The route was never part of the CitySwift network.
RA 320 was new to Dublin Bus in 1996. It was withdrawn in 2007 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

Retrato de antes de que llegase la revolución a mi vida. Es una declaración de intenciones: quiero volver a una de mis redes sociales favoritas y dedicarme otra vez a mi mayor afición (la fotografía).
Yeah, I don't usually go for that whole throwback Thursday thing, but I found these in some older files and figured I'd share em, just for a taste of old-school Allo. Pretty sure these are from late 2012 or early 2013.
Top tier: Hush, Bane, Ra's Al Ghul, Scarecrow, Mad Hatter.
Bottom tier: Catwoman, Man-bat, Penguin, Killer Croc, Mister Freeze.
Actually, seeing these makes me wonder where that torso on Ra's went to lately . . .
Anyways, better things to come, until then, cheers!
This week we are going back twenty-nine years to 1997 and to KD 12 parked on Abbey Street, dressed for route 42B.
CIE started operating route 42B between the city centre and Harmonstown in 1958. Around 1982 the 42B was extended to terminate on Blunden Drive. The route ceased to operate in 2011 when it was replaced by route 27A under Network Direct.
KD 12 was new to CIE in 1981. By 1999 it had been withdrawn by Dublin Bus.
The bus is seen parked on Lower Abbey Street. This was the street the 42B operated from, but the replacement route 27A currently goes from Eden Quay. The bus stop seen here is currently served by routes 33, 33E, 41, 41B and 41C.
