Timing is everything, and everything came together this evening as three trains converged at Dock 6 while the distinctive laker John D. Leitch loaded ore. Great light and color with the shadows holding off long enough to get all three trains unobstructed. Credit Air Missabe One and skillful piloting by Gus.

Following the first Gulf War, Union Pacific SD40-2 No. 3593 was unveiled in camouflage tan and brown paint on February 27, 1991.
Named "Desert Victory," 3593 wore handrail placards that listing the names and hometowns of the 66 Union Pacific employees called to serve in the US military.

The ultimate
So this is the ultimate —
That we bleed with our backs to the wall,
While the rats and weasels of fate
Eat at our liver and gall;
Eat at our hearts with teeth of bane,
And tug at the sick white roots of pain
Where every man’s alone,
And scrape a tune on the deep nerve-string
That is love and life and everything,
And gnaw our flesh to the bone.
Is this the ultimate?
No! This is nothing at all!
Some human dramas stop with this;
With this some curtains fall.
But the play that the high gods love
In their Theatre of Space
Has the mind, the mind for the stage thereof
And the soul for its dancing place!
Oh shapes of terror and fear,
Oh shapes of loathing and lust,
That gibber and jibe at us here
Ye break earth’s shallow crust.
Far back that stage recedes —
Who knows where that stairway goes?
Who knows where that passage leads?
And that door? Who knows? Who knows?
For the rats that again and again
Gnaw at each rib and joint
Of the vessel of our pain
Stop gasping at this point;
And in crowds they flee from the ship
That steers for the open sea
And turns the prow of its bleeding lip
Towards eternity!
John Cowper Powys
Going big on this F-unit Friday. Santa Fe's hundreds of red and silver F's are the face of American railroading, and the tradition continued in the second generation with the purchase of nine massive FP45 units from EMD. These 20-cylinder, 3600 hp, six motor, steam generator equipped cowl units were the epitome of streamlined aesthetic, melding the earlier era of industrial design with the more utilitarian look of the modern era. Only 14 units were built, with the others going to the Milwaukee Road. Here is the preserved ATSF 95, seen in July 2008 on display at Barstow CA.
Interesting to note that the FP45s were constructed only three years after E-unit production ended.
The Ultimate Beak!
The Lappet-faced Vulture or Nubian vulture (Torgos tracheliotos) is an Old World vulture belonging to the bird order Accipitriformes.
Getting the first crack at tearing into wildebeest flesh, is an honour usually bestowed upon the senior or perhaps showiest member of the dining party. On the savannahs of eastern Africa, it is the king of carrion.
The large, thick beak of the lappet-faced vulture is strong enough to tear open the thick hides of dead animals such as rhinoceros, elephant and hippo. They pave the way for other vultures and scavenging birds to attack the innards and clean the land of decaying carcasses. That they are an endangered species, often the unwitting and unintended victims of poisoned bait, is a travesty that could have far-reaching effects both up and down the foodchain.

Bark Looper Moth (Ectropis subtinctaria)
Not the easiest shot, it was on the trunk of our Plum tree and I had to get the camera on the trunk above the Moth.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

This FAB Design Ultimate was one of the most extraordinary looking cars I saw in London this year.
I'll post another strange looking thing tomorrow...can you guess what it will be? ;-D
A friend recently asked me to take some Pictures to add to a video to help with the sale of a couple of horses he had been training.
Cresting the last little climb towards their desination, G532 leads G512 towards Ultima on Qube's 9177 empty Ultima Hay service. The train would go head first into the siding before doing a main line run around.
PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVORITE
So, little known fact about me. My first real exposure to the avengers was the animated film Ultimate Avengers, and recently i got Age Of Ultron on Itunes, so after watching that, it reminded me of Ultimate Avengers, and so I decided to make some figures from the ultimate universe.
Left To Right
Iron Man: While he didn't sport this armor in the film, I went with it anyways, since it's pretty cool.
Spiderman: You've seen him before. Not to much to say.
Nick Fury: Pretty strait forward as well. Not sure if i've posted him before, but here he is.
Thor: Easily my favorite. Gave him Martian Manhunter's legs to make him a bit taller. Really like how the hammer came out, even though it's a really weird design.
My last trip to the Molotov Line, just a couple of days ago, proved to be an ultimate failure. Lots of uselessly burnt fuel, lots of driving on dusty roads and ploughing my way through dark, swampy thickets. All in vain. There was not even a trace of things I was looking for. Judging it from a different perspective I could say that another swath of terrain was checked thoroughly...
While lurking there I noticed a tree which looked somewhat apocalyptic to me so I tried to approach it to take a snap - only to be stopped dead in my tracks by a menacing sight of a terrifying predator waiting in ambush. I then realized that I made 200 kilometers to come to this place and I had not seen a single elephant, rhino or even a lion. The area was utterly cleansed... and I knew who, or what was behind it... Monster eyed me lazily, probably considering a puny human to be a sorrowful prey, not worth the usual effort of beheading the victim with a lightning speed. It seemed to wait for a more sizeable morsel, possibly a whale from a nearby water-filled hole.
I took a snap and then run pell-mell to my car. I throw my camera bag inside and, not bothering to slam the door shut, I drove off Mad-Max style across the fields - never to come back again.

Ok, my first attempts are all unsharp in the poor light but I'll have another go soon now I have a better measure of things. This is Ben at Ultimate Boxing in Congleton.
I used a Grey Smudge in PicMonkey. The white lines across the frame are actually the out-of focus ropes of the boxing ring I was shooting through.

A combination of all the figs I have been working on. Hopefully it does justice to such an amazing game. I tried to stay purist, but some characters required paint and other mods to perfect them. Mario is a custom printed figure by EclipseGrafx.
Well what a fabulous Spring day (At last), I managed a bit of macro work, but the most fun I had was with this guy. This is the closest shot of a Robin I've managed to date with my 100mm Macro lens, this is also a natural light shot. He was also chirping away when I took these, not full song, but funny little chirps. The image is slightly cropped top and bottom, but the width is full frame. You really need to zoom into this image to get a feel for it :o)
Hope everyone had an enjoyable day :o)

The Ultimate Fighters (of Ultimate Warbird Flights, based at Sywell) making a nice formation pass at the Victory Show. Restricted by the display line at the show, their display consisted of less aerobatics and more formation passes such as this, which were perfect for photography.
Hello yello! Look, I made something I think is cool! Matchstick (Fantxtik) in his Ultimate form! This was inspired by the prologue of Boondoggle's series thing. (www.flickr.com/photos/154786896@N05/42786769141/in/photol...)
So, this gets me thinking, what other members should make in their ultimate forms. The problem there, though (besides not being able to make most of the members normally) is that I don't know what the other heroes Ultimate forms would look like. So, thoughts on that?
Also, is there already a Flickr Fighters group or gallery? I mean, I can see why you wouldn't want to make one, but it could be nice to have all the information together for people like me that care too much about all that. xP
So yeah, I guess this is now a discussion post. Let's discuss.
(But, still put your thoughts on the picture I put a good amount of effort into it and I really like how it turned out.)
