An old gas station in Pipe Creek, TX. The pump on the left indicates a price of 33¢ per gallon. Wish I could have filled up. Frankly I'm surprised to see the pumps (especially the visible pump) still there.
As always, your comments and faves are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.
Our walk from Matley Wood. This is a fairly new area for us to walk in. When we were moving here from London. I came with my brother, sister and my sister's dog, Kimmy. I was wearing pale pink trousers and I was picking John up from his new job and meeting his work colleagues.
Near Matley wood is Matley bog and Kimmy soon found the bog......afterwards wiping her paws on my palep ink trousers. Not a good look for meeting new people.
Put me off walking here, however away from the bog it is lovely. walking country
This cheetah shot is just the way I shot it and is NOT a crop.
Shot at about 300-350mm. Yes we were close.
Hand held. 20D W/ 100-400mm lens.
Close up of Femke the cat.
Bit about me, I'm a 14 year old photographer, I love photographing wildlife, landscapes, pets, urban scenes, and other things that really interest me!
These Double- crested Cormorants were living up to their name and were seen "doubling up" at the Sepulveda Basin and Wildlife Reserve, Van Nuys, CA.
I started playing around with five-wide Lego cars more than 14 years ago (!). Lego has progressed a bit since then and so have I, as a builder. New brackets, nicer wheels and various curved slopes have made this a bit easier.

UP 4225 leads a train south through SacramentoCA with the American River bridge in the background on a stifling hot evening in the central valley in 2005.
Darwin's floodplains, waiting for rain.... This was the first storm of this season, really. It made it all the way to town!
Not the best bolt in the world, I spent 3 hours running around in circles and getting lost in the rural area (d'oh). Then after another half an hour trying to set my tripod up inside my car (and still getting spots all over my lens from my open window.... grr), the storm had moved quite a distance away from me. Still, I managed to get out of the car when it dried up and got a few little bolts. I need to get my storm swing back on again - I shoulda trusted my first instinct on choosing a location!
Exciting news for me too over the last couple of days - my 2014 calendars, and my first coffee table book are now in stock! :)

UP 7819 leads a short intermodal train past Krieder Road last night. The clouds moved out for just about 90 minutes or so prior to sunset allowing be to get a shot of the only train that was out and about last night on the UP.
I kind of thought the clouds made for an interesting backdrop to an uninteresting train. The sun was just a tad bit muted from all the crap in the air from the wildfires out west.
Today will be one of my rare no-neckwear days. I have not worn this in awhile, but once every few weeks or so I do like to try the buttoned up look. I work in the morning and plan to meet with a friend for a late lunch. With the cold weather and early darkness of the season I do not have any other plans so I will probably have a relaxing evening at home. I like the contrasting white collar on this black shirt. I have an all-black shirt on order and look forward to some outfit combinations with it soon.
67/365 I've been thinking a lot about the way humans measure themselves.
I'm feeling really good about this.
I stayed up late to take my day 67 because I work at 3 and want to sleep in and be a lazy jerk.
An art installation just sitting in an obscure courtyard, right in the middle of Girona.
The city is full of beautiful little gems like this, just off the beaten path.
Mid 90’s UP Eastbound Doublestack Container Train passes through Rochelle, Illinois with a UP SD60M leading the way, this was 4 or 5 years before the Railroad Park was built
TT's climb the massive grade at Ardglen, being assisted by 82 class bank locos at the rear of the train.

UP 7868 at the head of four locomotives, including CSX 5208, pulling an eastbound intermodal train up San Timoteo Canyon.
Many thanks to Freightcarkid for showing me around on this day.
Catching a brief break in the clouds a pair of eastbounds, an 'I' train on main one and a hot 'Z' on main two, nearly have the 8015' summit of their endeavor up Wyoming's Sherman Hill within sight.

Always nice to catch a clean motor leading a train, bonus points for being a clean EMD and being able to hid the POS GE that was trailing.

"People who buy the Vantage will do so in the first place for its performance, and they will not be disappointed. The figures speak for themselves. But they should take extra heart because it is one of the easiest true high performance cars to drive well: and it has been given brakes to match. In comfort too, it has much to offer, and there is a great deal of what is best in the British tradition of designing and building sports cars in its making." - Autocar.
The performance figures Autocar referred to were a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds and an estimated top speed of 170mph, figures comparable with those achievable by a Ferrari Daytona or Lamborghini Miura.
With the introduction of the Vantage in 1977, Aston Martin's V8 was thrust back into the supercar league. Its superior performance aside, the Vantage was readily distinguishable from the standard product by virtue of its blocked-off bonnet scoop, blanked air intake, front chin spoiler and lip on the boot lid.
ZF five-speed manual transmission was standard equipment, though a handful of Vantages were built with the Torqueflite automatic gearbox. With either transmission performance was shattering, the Vantage's 0-100mph time of 12.7 seconds making it the world's fastest accelerating production car at that time. For those with a yen for even greater performance, there was the factory's optional 'X-Pack' engine (like this example's) which, depending on the state of tune, had up to 432bhp available.
As the Vantage's mechanical specification progressed so did the coachwork, with wheel arches flaring to accommodate wider rims, increasing the overall width by 2", and 16"-diameter wheels being introduced. Unlike the V8 saloon, which reverted to fuel injection in 1986, the V8 Vantage kept its 48IDF Weber carburettors to the end of production in December 1989, by which time 361 cars had been built.
Copy documents on file reveal that this particular Vantage was built to West German specification and delivered via Merz & Pabst. The car was finished in Salisbury Blue with grey leather interior; unusually, the specified dark blue piping was applied to the front seats and armrests only, the rest of the piping being grey. Other 'extras' consisted of dash top roll and steering wheel in dark blue, rear valance in body colour and a Blaupunkt Bremen radio cassette player. The Vantage subsequently moved to the UK where it was first registered on 1st August 1998 as 'E149 BKM'.
The current vendor purchased the Aston from The Old Racing Car Company of Richmond-on-Thames, UK on 28th June 2008, since when it has been kept in storage. Re-commissioning will be required before the car returns to the road.
