This is probably the longest flight that I have ever taken with my drone with just at 2.15KM flown there and back with my little bird. It would have been a lot easier to fly from the grade crossing north of Eudora but the UP MOW trucks had all the parking spots taken.
Nice to see what is now an older EMD leading a train and being trusted as the only unit on this short manifest.
This shot is in between Linwood and Turkey Creek and right in the heart of where the EF4 tornado removed enough trees a few years back to make this shot possible. We just need a few more EF4's to clean more of the right of way off.

Wikipedia:
Una pin-up és una fotografia o un altre tipus d'il · lustració d'una noia en actitud suggerent o fins i tot, només que amb un somriure, saludant o mirant a la càmera fotogràfica, que sol figurar en les portades de revistes, comic-books o calendaris , etc. A les models que posen per aquestes obres se les anomena pin-up girls. En l'actualitat (principis del segle XXI), són generalment models fotogràfics, actrius de cinema, cantants o models d'alta costura o prêt-à-porter, sent poc freqüent que una pin-up es dediqui exclusivament a això.
El terme anglès cheesecake (literalment "pastís de formatge") és un sinònim de pin-up. L'ús més antic del terme cheesecake amb aquest significat està documentat l'any 1934, però es va popularitzar uns 20 anys més tard, amb la frase (referint-se a una dona maca) better than a cheesecake (millor que un pastís de formatge). El seu equivalent masculí són els Beefcake (pastís de carn).
En general, les imatges de pin-up no es consideren pornogràfiques, i, en l'actualitat, (principis de segle XXI), només són censurades en alguns països, majoritàriament, integristes islàmics. En alguns països on la majoria de la població és musulmana, les fotografies de pin-up figuren a l'última pàgina dels diaris, en lloc de a la primera, perquè no estiguin a la vista dels transeútes quan estan exposats per a la venda , per considerar-ho més conforme amb la moral, usos i costums locals.

Betty Grable's famous pin-up photo
A pin-up girl, also known as a pin-up model, is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popular culture. Pin-ups are intended for informal display, e.g. meant to be "pinned-up" on a wall. Pin-up girls may be glamour models, fashion models, or actresses.
The term pin-up may also refer to drawings, paintings, and other illustrations done in emulation of these photos (see the list of pin-up artists). The term was first attested to in English in 1941; however, the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s.
The pin-up images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers, or be from postcard or chromo-lithographs, and so on. Such photos often appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later, posters of pin-up girls were mass-produced and became an instant hit.
Sorry for the flood of images...
I honestly don't have the time or energy to keep up with flickr anymore.
The shots I've uploaded today have been stacking up until I "have time" to flickr. Don't see that happening anytime soon...
I will be visiting everyone over the next few days and beyond that I can't say.
To all: Take care and all my best.
The University of the Philippines or UP was established in Manila on the 18th of June 1908 through Act No. 1870 of the First Philippine Legislature. In 1939, work on a bigger campus started in Diliman -- then part of Morong/Rizal province --- that was interrupted when World War II came to the Philippines. Four years after the war and after a massive rehabilitation work, UP’s relocation from Manila to its present site was completed.
Synonymous with UP is The Oblation --- sculptor Guillermo Tolentino’s translation of Dr. Jose P. Rizal’s “Mi Ultimo Adios” with actor Fernando Poe Sr. as the model. The statue’s cornerstone was laid by Aurora Quezon in 1931, and was unveiled in the old Padre Faura campus in 1939 by Gregoria De Jesus viuda de Bonifacio. The Oblation was relocated to Diliman in 1949. What now stands in front of the UP administration building is actually a bronze replica that was unveiled in 1958 in commemoration of UP’s 50th year. The original statue is at the 3rd floor of the main library. In 1977, members of the Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity streaked around the university to protest the banning of the movie “Hubad na Bayani”. What has become known as The Oblation Run is now an annual tradition of the university held every 16th of December in commemoration of the founding anniversary of the fraternity who started it.
This year, UP celebrates its centennial year. Last year, the lesser known school of Hogwarts held its own. My blog entry on this and more Oblation photos at Shooting Churches, Eating Noodles.

Construction, Week 19
Finally for today, a look down the front of the store from inside the current parking lot, as compared to the one from East Parkway which started today's set. You can probably see this better in that E Parkway pic, but there are considerably more holes in the wall for doors, windows, and the like on that side of the building than on the one where this pic was taken from. The ground-level openings are presumably for the café seating area per the interior layout design, but the upper ones make me think that there will be a second level here for offices. Some Krogers, including millennium ones (as we'll see in the future... ;) ), were built with second-floor offices, but Hernando's currently are all on the first (well, only) floor, I believe.
Stick around, Saturday I've got more from the Olive Branch Walmart coming your way!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Not Sacramento built!
On a beautiful September day Union Pacific FEF-3 #844 basks in the morning sun in front of the old Southern Pacific General Shops. Countless steam locomotives passed through the Sacramento Shops in its heyday and even though 844 was not one of them the 1944 vintage ALCO looks right at home in front of what was once the home base for UP's 'Overland' partner.

This is one of the shots that will be used for a local shortfilm called "All revved up"
A very funny comedy created and directed by Dan Thebeau. We had a photo shoot last night and this was my first try at using the dark field lighting technique.
Strobist info: AB800 placed behind a small sheet of black foam core. The alien bee was bounced on a white wall.
Also two small strobes shot on oposite sides of the model against the wall to give more highlights on the side. Asked Dan and Sasha hold a black flag in front of the visor to cut down on reflections.
Triggered via skyports and optical triggers.
A Slot Train of rip rap for flood damage repairs travels south into Council Bluffs. The lake on the left is normally a farm field, but it was an extension of the Missouri River that day.
Known as Benos on the railroad, this spot on the north side of CB is normally very noisy due to I-29 traffic just a stones throw away. At the time of the photo, I-29 was shut down because of flooding making for a peaceful spot. There were actually logs and driftwood up on the interstate roadway!
Originally built as an SW7, UP #96 was one of 55 older EMD switchers (NW2s, SW7s, SW9s and TR4As) rebuilt by the railroad in the late 1970s and early 1980s as an SW10.
From Utahrails.net "The SW10 rebuild program included 645-power assemblies in place of the original 567-assemblies. Also included were all new cabling and wiring, and updated electrical gear, which included a couple module cards with some solid state circuitry. A new consolidated equipment rack for the water tank, oil filters, and other mechanical components was built using parts from retired GP9s. A new radiator section using twin 36-inch electrically-powered cooling fans, also taken from retired GP9s, was installed to replace the inefficient and expensive to maintain belt-driven 54-inch fan that originally equipped these units. The new design also included a large sandbox occupying the front of the unit in place of the original radiator fan intake and radiator shutter assembly. This new, external sand box design did away with the two original, internal sand boxes, with their four difficult-to-access sand traps. The cab interior layout and design also received attention. The new design included a modern control stand, electric cab heating, an electric refrigerator, and other features to bring it up to the FRA-mandated "clean cab" standards. Also as part of the rebuild program, the original friction bearing trucks were converted to roller bearings. The finished, operating weight for the SW10s was 251,200 pounds."
#96 (originally #1243) as retained by the Union Pacific as part of their heritage fleet, where it served as the steam shop switcher in Cheyenne. It was finally retired in 2014 and subsequently donated to the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland, OR, where it is displayed today. The engine remains operable and sees some occasional use.

UP 4910 running wrong main account the M-TPTP working Main 1 just ahead. Second time this week that I have caught an SD70M leading a train at this curve in decent light.
....we flew through space for 48 hours. I felt so bad for J, having to spend that insane amount of time crunched up behind me. I could feel him fidgeting and shifting behind me trying to get some kind of comfort. I was just trying to keep the bomber on the path back home without ejecting us out or something. Besides the fact that it's...well, a fucking space bomber, everything was pretty simple. Controls were laid out like a common Cessna. I think the stick was even from the Cessna I was trained in. I really didn't wanna try to take my chances and find out just how similar they were, though. Finally we got above earth. It was time to enter earth's atmosphere, and there's no way it's gonna be as smooth as exiting in the Starlight One. I tell J to hold onto something and go in. Okay, so the space shuttle used to re-enter by basically belly-flopping into the atmosphere. I can't think of anything else, So that's what I gotta try. I set the angle and the bomber shakes like crazy. The inside gets hot and I could even see the glow outside the canopy. I just concentrate and try to keep everything together. After what felt like too damn long, the shaking finally stops and I can put it in a proper flight angle. The re-entry slowed us down pretty good but we were still going too fast for any runway to land on. I start banking in a circle to try and slow us down more. The angle of the bank let me look out and see just where we were above earth. Looked like a desert. Saw a city not far away though so there's really no other choice. I muster up whatever courage I have left and go in for a landing. As I get closer and closer to the surface I take a guess where the landing gear is. I don't hear anything in the bomber move. I try another button and hear some metallic squeaking behind me. I should've hear something in front of me move too if it was the gear. Before I get try another though I pancake it. Fuck, we're still booking it, too. If we don't break up grinding across the desert floor we'll at least stop quicker. At this point I'm scared out of my mind so I just close my eyes and wait for it to stop. When it does I feel like I'm in a dream for a second. Probably from just disbelief that we actually survived that. That I landed a Nazi goddamn space bomber in the middle of a desert without gear. That we actually escaped the moon. That we're still alive. But yet...here we are...
