Apologies for the poor quality of this snap, the sun was unco-operative and my wife was a tadge slow washing the screen. (Apparently my fault for not topping up the bottle)

Tool steel is being turned on the lathe to make a precision circular cutter. This cutter will be hardened and used only once to help make the gear tooth form cutter.
Turning Tide. Not often the high tide schedule coincides perfectly with sunset when on the Bay of Fundy. Add the possibility of cloud cover blocking any beautiful light from shining through on those few select nights. But when light, subject, and the moment agree, the camera tells a beautiful story.

Axles for the shay were turned in a collet holder. In this photo, the shop made saw holder has been used to cut two relief grooves using a 1/32" saw blade. The lathe is turned at 230 rpm and the saw is rotated using a portable drill in the opposite direction to cut each groove.

Historic turning stones in Geraldine used to guide horse drawn wagons along narrow lanes in the mid to late 1800s.
The horses turned into the lane and then the attached wagon would be brought into alignment by the off-side wheel hub catching on the stone and pivoting it into a straight line.
Most of the stones were removed as motorized vehicles took over from horses.

The exceptional warm weather continued on this day with a nice official temperature of 13°C.
Our local town centre held a classic motorshow on Sunday. Despite the overcast morning, I decided to take my camera along and take a look. Amazingly I spent a couple of hours walking round and looking at some great cars/motorbikes and other motor vehicles. I don't know where the time went.
To me this type of vehicle -an Austin - is more of what I think of classic cars although I believe this comes more in the category of vintage cars. This is an Austin Six, my mother remembers her family car of an Austin Seven which was later upgraded to an Austin Ten. This obviously took her right back to her childhood when her and her brother and sister were taken on family days out and were cramped in the back of the Austin and going all over the place.
Thank you for looking and for any comments you may leave.
This series of 8 photographs were taken at the Vivarais Railway on the Rhône Valley in France during the mid-1990s.
Mallet no.414 moving slowly onto the turntable at Lamastre station.
The Vivarais Railway closed indefinitely on Sunday 13th April 2008. A great loss to railway preservation. It was such an interesting and unusual line, in an excellent location.
From its rescue after the closure of the system in 1968 until 2003 the line had been run by the CFTM, an enthusiast society. It was then handed over to a company in which the Conseil General de l’Ardèche, the regional government, has a majority stake on the basis that it would provide much needed funds to renew the permanent way and to upgrade the railway’s infrastructure.
By 2008, the funding situation had become so desperate that the Conseil General convened an emergency on 10th April at which it decided to suspend services indefinitely, ostensibly on safety grounds. The last train ran the following Sunday 13th April 2008.
There is now a need for major investment. Furthermore, SNCF has given notice to terminate from 2012 the railway’s use of the 2.5kms of mixed-gauge track, the “tronc commun”, at the Tournon end of the line.
Replacement facilities would be needed for which land has been acquired but no construction work has yet started. In 2008 the Conseil General estimated that between 8 million and 10 million euros are required to put the permanent way back into first class condition, to refurbish the steam locos and to build the new station and depot. There is currently no commitment to provide any of this money.
The tourist industry in the region is heavily dependant on the railway which often ran trains as long as 10 coaches during the summer. The local press described the closure as a catastrophe.

All along the Chinese silk road we would find dried chillis in our food, in our soups. And here, somewhere near Korla, in Gansu province, we saw one source. A field, filled with previously harvested chillis, turned regularly so that both sides would catch the sun and the peppers dry evenly, home of men and women with large pitchforks. That much bright red, a challenge to paint...
