Hanley (aka Stoke on Trent City Centre) was the opposite end of Turner's principal route from the village of Brown Edge. This picture was taken earlier this evening as our 'summer' jolly came to an end. You could be forgiven for thinking that it was October. The picture was taken in Hanley's Town Road.
Union Pacific Railroad GP9m 340 at Kansas City, Missouri on an unknown day in April 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 340 was built in September 1957 (c/n 23696) on EMD Order 5552 and was retired April 2, 1981. During June 1964 this locomotive was equipped with an EMD turbocharger at UP's Omaha Shops, giving this unit and at least 54 other GP9's the moniker "Omaha GP20", and creating a 2000 hp GP9. The program began in early 1955 with the application of AiResearch Model T-30 turbochargers to four GP9's at UP's East Los Angeles Shops (four turbochargers per unit). The four units were sent out for road testing, and after modifications, the program was moved to Salt Lake City in September 1956. By 1959 the program was moved again to Omaha, and nine more GP9's were turbocharged (bring the total to 13). At the same time, ten nearly new GP9's of the 300-series were turbocharged using Elliott Company products, and three GP9's were sent to La Grange for application of EMD's new turbocharger. Later, the UP sent six more GP9's to EMD for the same modification. Between 1962 and 1965, 55 more GP9's in the 300-series were turbocharged with the EMD product by the UP at Omaha, and the AiResearch and Elliott modified units were de-turbocharged and converted back to normally-aspired GP9's. Number 340 was modified in June 1964, and at the same time a 2400 gallon fuel tank was installed, forcing one of the twin air reservoirs to be re-located to the front of the locomotive. Some of the turbocharged GP9's were also modified to burn low grade Bunker C fuel oil, and heaters were installed in the fuel tanks to permit efficient fuel flow. It is unknown exactly which Omaha GP20's were modified to burn Bunker C fuel, but the telltale sign is open metal grating on the walkways along the long hood to dissapate heat, and 340 shows signs of that. During the 1970's, Bunker C fueled locomotives were converted back to diesel due to rising costs of that fuel. The full turbo story is at this link: www.utahrails.net/articles/up-gp9-turbo.php
Somewhat more robust than a P100.
A late model (for the UK at least) Peugeot 504 pick up.
Peugeot certainly got their money's worth out the 1968 launched 504 which carried parts from the 404. A saloon, coupe, cabriolet, estate, with several model differences, and of course the long lived truck we see here. An outside co even built 4x4 estates and pick ups.
Although 504 car production ended in 1983, having overlapped the 505, the pick up lived on until 1993 in Europe, and up to 2006 in Africa. The pick up was built in China until 2009 and even got a crew cab model built on a stretched estate platform.
Much of the 504 mechanicals carried over to the 505 too, also seeing service in the 604 and Tagora.
The diesel engines fitted to the 504 were used by quite a few other things too, notably the Granada MKII, Sierra, Tagora, Leyland Daf 400 and several more..
I can't remember the last time I saw one but I was pleased to see this still earning its keep..
Car almost done some minor stuff yet to do but you get the idea. Maintenance boys are out having a look.
The CORP 508 train that runs south from Eugene to Roseburg using UP power rounds the corner coming up on Dillard Road near Creswell, Oregon at MP 639. In addition to the SD70M at the point, two SD60Ms are in consist with the usual C44AC/GEVO combo pulling the usual string of empties.
This train often runs in the morning, so it was nice to catch it in the afternoon after shooting the northbound this morning.

I was at a Wedding Show on Sunday, strutting my stuff as one of the models. I was only supposed to keep the kilt on for the show, but I love it so keep it on for longer. Dressing up is fun, and also the FGR group choice of the day, which was nice.

Alain, commercial.
Après quelques jours d'interruption et non de repos, j'ai décidé de continuer ma série de portraits urbains. j'avais atteint les 100 portraits il y a une dizaine de jours, mais je m'étais promis de compléter la série en m'organisant différemment car je vous avoue que faire chaque jour un nouveau portrait n'est pas très simple. Mais qu'importe. Je vais tenter de garder un rythme soutenu afin de combler la frénésie liée à la découverte de nouveaux personnages par les nombreux internautes qui me suivent. Je tenterai toutefois de varier mon approche et vais changer légèrement la règle... vous comprendrais pourquoi plus tard.
Alain inaugure cette nouvelle série. Je l'ai croisé tout à l'heure alors que j'allais m'acheter un bonnet pour protéger mon crâne dénudé.
Il est commercial dans une boutique de "ride" sur Lyon. A quarante pige, il est toujours un adepte de sports de glisse comme le snowboard ou le skate. Passionné, il a commencé à 16 ans et ne s'est jamais arrêté... après avoir écumé quelques compétitions, il a finalement trouvé un job en boutique et partage désormais son expérience avec la nouvelle génération.

Hiccup - Born 20 Sept 2012
Little Hiccup is the only girl in the litter, she was the first born, first to open her eyes, first to walk, first to eat solid food and the bravest outside.
She has the most pretty little face and the chubbiest little belly.
Critter supervised the outdoor adventure
I think I will get this printed and give to the people who adopt her

Spent last weekend up in Quebec where the leaves are at peak. Sucky weather, but beautiful leaves and even better hospitality. Boston hasn't had a leaf turn and even in VT its a bit slow to turn.

From a nice vantage point that took a long time to climb up to, in quite intense heat, with some rather scary sections and places that people who do not like heights have no business being.

2007.
I view self-portraits as a challenge and question; does adding a figure add or detract from the composition? And then, what difference is there if the figure is clothed or not? The human figure is a classic artistic study. Back in the day (not now) I could have been a live art model but was too insecure to do so. Now, with an older, more out of shape body and older mind I'm not as anxious.
Self-portraits (nude or not) is an artistic and internal process that can be explored in earnest. As with urban or structural studies I categorize as historical documentation, I also view the nude self portrait as a way to reflect on my or other's perspectives to our aging bodies.
