rauf und runter
Ich weiß nicht, ob und wann ich überhaupt schon mal so viele Treppen rauf und runter bin, wie am letzten Samstag.... ;-)
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.

Anche un nano, salendo di gradino in gradino una scala alta abbastanza, può giungere più in alto di un gigante. (proverbio cinese)
Questa è la scala che porta alla sommità di "The Monument" a Londra, tra Monument Street e Fish Street Hill.
Fu costruito tra il 1671 ed il 1677 su progetto di Sir Christofer Wren (St. Paul Cathedral) per commemorare la rinascita della città dopo il grande incendio di Londra del 1666.
E' alto 61 metri, l'esatta distanza tra il monumento e Pudding Lane, dopo l'incendio ebbe inzio.
EMD Tier IV UP 3044 leads a mixed manifest train around the long curve coming into Loring this morning. If you only get a chance to shoot one train in the morning then you better make it a good one.
Just a tad bit too much tree on the lead truck than I would like, but maybe that tree will get removed soon too. Who knows. We’re not in a National Forest, yet.
These Tier IV’s are starting to get the UP piss brick treatment. Look at the roof of this unit and you will see just how dirty they are starting to get. It won’t be long and they will look like the EMD SD70M second out. Hot garbage.
UP 9403 leading a long train of empty autoracks up Cajon pass near Silverwood. You know they are empties because California doesn't have any plants that build cars in SoCal anymore, and hasn't had for quite some time.
UP 3794 heads the WCLOVG-08 (Work: Caliente, NV to Oroville, CA: Gang) westbound near Milepost 373.
After this shot was taken, I shredded a rear tire, and eventually had to limp the 150 miles home on a "donut" style spare.
UP SD70ACe #1989 passes the coal load-out of Justus Coal Company in Revilo, Kentucky with NS 46Z grain train in tow. This load-out, though idled, is the last great stand in McCreary County coal. A place once home to the mighty Stearns Coal Company. This simple black diamond product was once the lifeblood of this area, much like most of Appalachia. Unfortunately, again like most of the region, it's time has seemingly departed. The large Justus mine stands still as a symbol of yesterday.
I was originally headed to Harriman, TN to set up for this, but by luck, ran into Matt Jones and Justin McCravey in Wartburg and decided to turn north and head for Kentucky. This proved to be a very wise move as this train would not make Harriman until well after dark. Now looking back, I'm glad I setup at Justus instead...
Virgin Trains East Coast 43300 leads this spectacle along the Birmingham to Derby main line with Network Rails 43013, Grand Centrals 43423, Pioneer 41001 with matching stock and East Midlands 43048 bringing up the rear. The working was 5Z43 06.29 St Philips Marsh to Derby Etches Park
Monarch butterfly face. He is aged and his eyes are battered, but his tube-like tongue or proboscis in good shape and all wound up in a coil.
As is traditional in January, we are observing culinary penance after Christmas so we can go into Easter refreshed
SY 0635 has the attention of the track gang as she crosses the China Rail line, with loaded coal for the power station - Hegang Coal Mine system. Northern China. April 2005 © David Hill.
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.
8 months physical development with relatively huge muscular arms bringing his 20 pound body up from the floor multiple times. He’s a star!
Looking N up the Molesworth Road, northern Canterbury.
At this point, Hanmer Springs is 14km behind, and the historic Acheron Homestead is ahead, along 12km of unsealed road.
Carry on even further and you'll eventually hit State Highway 1 again...about 170km later!
"In fields of battle, deliriously fighting,
Others give you their lives, without doubt, without regret;
Where there’s cypress, laurel or lily,
On a plank or open field, in combat or cruel martyrdom,
If the home or country asks, it's all the same--it matters not."
"YÊU..NHANH - CHÁN VỘI"
Phía sau đôi mắt anh em không tồn tại ..- *Nothing in your eyes
Những thứ bất ngờ chờ trc' cuộc sống còn rất nhiều. Cũng như cái cách mà tôi đến gần anh vậy..(:
Làm sao có thể cho phép đc những thứ trẻ con, ảo tưởng trong tôi ngày một lớn lên chứ??
Với tôi vậy là đủ r`.
Cứ thương thêm chút, nhớ thêm chút, mong thêm chút..r` thì tôi sẽ tự mình rời xa anh.

Union Pacific Railroad Class CA-13 24582 on the BN at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in May 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car was built as CRI&P 17164 in December 1967, became UP 24582 during April 1980, and was retired September 12, 1985.
South of Vegas where the UP Cima Sub makes the climb out of the Valley there are some impressive grades. UP 5864 and two other GE's groan as they lug their ethanol loads through the rock cuts and are about to bypass and old tunnel. For having 20-25 trains daily, I have found it difficult to find trains... but this wasn't a railfanning trip - so any catch is a good catch!
