Bokeh... just bokeh. I tried to take a quick snap of these workmen as I walked past. I'd forgotten I was focusing at about 60cm. Oops. But here's the thing. I really like this!

Had to go shopping for meat and prescriptions so a walk with Ruby in the two local woods and met two volunteers from Geers Wood erecting our signs. Also a view over the tree tops of the second wood.

Swedish Open Cultural Heritage, Ethnographic Museum
The Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm, Sweden, is a Swedish science museum.
Having seen the success of the Clonmacnoise & West Offaly Railway in the Irish Midlands operated by Bord na Móna on the Blackwater system in the early 90's, the management of the TAE system in Co.Mayo tried a similar tourist train operation called the Bellacorick Bog Train. This venture used a restored West Clare Railway carriage hauled by dedicated locomotive no.LM123 in the same livery. The railways unique selling point was a tour of the Bellacorick Windfarm, Ireland's first. The tourist service was short lived though probably because of the remote nature of the location and I think it only ran for 3 summers 1994-96. (I would welcome confirmation of that fact by anybody with first hand knowledge).
Before the experiment with tourist operations the TAE system was no stranger to running a passenger service for its workers out onto the remote bogs where there was no road access. Ruston & Hornsby type 48DL no. LM18 (RH 242902/1946) was the oldest working Ruston on the BnM 3ft gauge networks when this shot was taken in 1993 having racked up 47 years service. It is seen in the works yard at Oweninny with a converted bus body as a bogie workmen's carriage.
Sometimes when you press the shutter you know you have captured something special.
If I was asked to take a group of workmen and pose them casually eating their lunch it would never be a perfect as this, everyone and everything is in it's place and all are relaxed. I snapped this then asked if it was OK to take a few shots which of course they had no problem with, the next few exposures do not quite match up to this first decisive shot, notice also in the distance a suited guy on his mobile phone walking into shot.
Location is the steps by the fountain at Wilberforce House in Liverpool
Jumping across the city now to the Dockyard, which is where Tim and I both worked in the 1980s (although we didn't meet there!) This is part of the museum in No.7 Boathouse, which is where the restaurant is today (and our lot from work are going for their Christmas party! I've opted out this time, as the price is way higher than I can afford to pay!)
I called this photo 'dockies at work', as we always referred to people who worked in the dockyard as 'dockies'!!
This is a small photo that fit on half of an old postcard. No message, alas. Can anyone make out the label on the bottle?
A group of workmen clearing snow around Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center end up in trouble with their supervisor. No sympathy for the knock to the head.
Suddenly two workmen entered the studio, trying to hustle by unnoticed with their obscure gizmos.

Mathew: Umm….

Workmen stand clear as diesel-hydraulic 218 427-3 sets off from Lübeck with a 'DB Regio' service bound for Hamburg Hbf on 10 May, 2001. Electrification of the line to Lübeck and through to Travemünde (on the coast) was on the cards at the time, but was deferred for financial reasons, not being completed until 2008. The crooked semaphore on the left might otherwise have been an early casualty of modernisation!

Crumlin, 1st April 2014
The building was built in 1920 and was originally the Crumlin Workmen's Club and Institute, a landmark reminder of the coal mining and industrial heritage of the area.
Returning from the Maritimes, we stopped to camp one night in Parc National de la Jacques-Cartier and visit Quebec City. The Citadelle of Quebec overlooks the St. Lawrence River. Fortifications here began in 1690 and it remains an active military site. I don't recall the nature of this reconstruction.
