Finished work today at 10:30 and oh what was due at 10:45... only 1001.
Former Tower Transit of London BG61 SXJ now with Lothian Buses as LXZ5383 CE 1002 seen on Frederick Street operating on route 29 to Gorebridge. 11th April 2018.
After weeks of effort, I finally got the shot I was after... entire windmill within the sun! I'm pretty happy with this one!
Einstein predicted that time slows down the faster you travel and the time-dilation hypothesis has since been proven by flying atomic clocks on aircraft.
The three fastest human beings at the moment are NASA astronaut Anne McClain, Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques (pictured) and Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Kononenko who are orbiting Earth on the International Space Station at a speed of around 28 800 km/h.
They are travelling so fast that they will return home to Earth after their six-month spaceflight 0.007 seconds younger than if they had stayed with their feet on the ground.
But how do astronauts perceive time in space? Space Station crew report that time seems to speed up in microgravity so European researchers are trying to find out more by immersing astronauts in virtual reality and testing their reaction times.
A virtual reality headset is used to block external visual cues that could influence the results. The experiment focuses on how astronauts estimate time duration as well as their reaction times. They are asked gauge how long a visual target appears on screen. Their reaction times to these prompts are recorded to process speed and attention.
The astronauts run the experiment before flight, on the International Space Station and again when they land to compare results. ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst was the first test subject to take part in this experiment in 2018. Anne and David did a session in February in ESA’s Columbus laboratory.
Understanding how time is perceived in space is important as astronauts are often required to conduct precision work where timing is everything. This research in microgravity will help reveal clues as to what helps keep our brains ticking the seconds accurately.

When I'm running late, I usually blame my "tardying angel" for throwing obstacles in my way, but maybe should blame Murphy's Law from my Murphy bed for bed timing.
This is a spring from the retracted bed, for FlickrFriday's "Timing" and Macro Mondays' "Spiral" challenges.
Timing is one most important for Landscape Photographer. This shot is the one of my experience how important to prepare properly before execution. I was set my GND 150mm filter, mounted tripod in right place and wait for burning sky shows.
We were at a spot where the guide was talking about bats.
"There aren't any here right now, but many overwinter in this section of the cave."
She went on to talk of the first explorer of the cave who when he came to this section in the gloom was suddenly touching soft fur instead of wet rock.
And then a bat flew by us to the amusement of some and the consternation of others.

After the L091, the four of us out there set up for a EB Intermodal. (Like L091), a WB Intermodal beats the EB to the crossing by about 5-10 seconds, which was good except for the one guy who stayed on the other side...

... and I just missed it.
For this weeks challenge, I have used 4 subjects that have previously been seen in other Flickr Friday challenges.. The reflected ceiling, the carpet, the camera and the clock... and rather than hide the camera and tripod... lets make it part of the image... it is after all 5 o'clock and I have other things to do...
At first glance it appears that 6A60, the 08:32 Whatley - Oxford Banbury Road might be composed of both box wagons and hoppers behind 66541. In actual fact, the hoppers belong to 6C42, the 09:00 Theale - East Usk Yard empties hauled by 66604 (which can be seen to the left of the tree on the left side of the frame.
Taken at Uffington, the 2 trains have just crossed and 6C42 has only just cleared in time
I was driving down one of the many back roads of Muscatatuck national wildlife refuge sunday morning as the sun was peeking in and out of the clouds. I rounded the bend just as the low morning sun hit the tops of these winter trees. I loved how the sun just brushed the tips, painting the trees in light. I jumped out of the car just in time to get this shot, 10 seconds later the sun went behind a cloud and the scene was gone.
A coincidence of timing where I was able to capture this group canoeing and kayaking down the Rio Grande from this overlook. I was able to not just capture these people on the river, but I was also able to capture a look down and across the Mexican landscape with the Sierra Ponds Cliffs on one side and a little bit of Big Bend National Park on the other. I later converted to black & white using Capture NX2 where I used some color filters to bring out a much richer tonal contrast for the final image.

Trying to take an image of the acorn cap and a chickadee landed on it.....twist of the camera and I got a cool image.

I dont know what equipment he used but Im sure he got some great shots.
The Antelope Island State Park close to Salt Lake City is a great location especially during sunset as you can see. The bad thing is the park closes at sunset which means there is only a few minutes window to get some pictures.

I waited pretty well all year to get this shot, at this time of the year the sun is at its most southerly point (when rising off the eastern horizon) and it just lines up with this channel at Little Bay NSW.
A colourful building in Montreal that I stumbled upon recently. It is the new Convention Centre. At a certain time in the afternoon, if the light is just right, the colour from the windows is reflected onto the street.
I had to put in a couple of hours at work this morning but finished up by 0730. The UP has a 6 day a week Z train that hits Springfield in the 0745-0815 window - just ahead of ATK 302. Today was no exception. I made it downtown and hiked up the parking garage and heard horns to the north as I reached the top! I was happy to have an ACE leader but disappointed with the graffiti. The Alton / GM&O depot is awake as 302 was only 45 minutes ahead and passengers were milling around the platform.

UP 844 arrives into Pacific, MO for a stop as the sun pops out. This was the only sun seen on the 844.
Many of my trips to the former Boston & Maine’s East Deerfield Yard in west-central Massachusetts were not without a stop at my other favorite spot of Millers Falls. Here the north-south Central Vermont Railway and the east-west B&M would meet and the tracks of both railroads ran side-by-side for a bit. The CV southbound job to Palmer crosses the Millers River and I somehow snapped the shutter right before shadow engulfed the lead engine.
Talk about timing. All I was trying for was a photograph of the moon. Out of the corner of my eye, though, I saw this jet heading that direction. It had probably just taken off from PDX airport. Immediately my mind thought; “what if?” You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? That split second when an even better situation arises while taking advantage of a lesser opportunity?
I knew exactly what I was looking for and I had just seconds to change a couple of settings on my camera. I was able to get three shots. This was picture #2.
