We visited Roseberry Topping for a last try with the Bluebells [which are past their best]. I spotted this rusted steel frame, erected by the National Trust and set my mind on framing a shot.
This past weekend, my hiking friend Kelsie and I headed to the northern Olympic Peninsula for some much needed R & R. This view was three feet from the zipper opening of my tent. Yep......it was a good outing!
21st September 2014 - English Electric Canberra PR9 XH134 of the Mid Air Squadron with a nice topside pass at Southport Airshow.
The 'English Electric' Canberra was sold to air forces all over the world and a total 1,347 were built. During its first ten years of service with the RAF, the Canberra broke nineteen flight records and three altitude records including winning the London to New Zealand Air Race in 1953 with a world speed record and the first jet flight over the North Pole in 1954.
The Canberra is believed to be the world’s longest serving bomber and most recently provided support during conflicts in the Balkans and Middle East. And, because of its ability to fly at nearly 60,000 ft., it was also used for clandestine photo reconnaissance work during the Cold War. The aircraft retired from active duty in 2006.
It had been fully restored with complete airworthiness certification, experienced engineering and maintenance support – and highly qualified senior RAF pilots - Canberra XH134 was the only air-worthy Canberra of its type in the world.

Sadly, after the tragic events at Shoreham this classic type of aircraft has found it harder and harder to find the increased finances involved to keep up with the now tightened CAA airworthiness certifications and associated insurances and many by 2018 have already been sold and exported to other more sympathetic countries..
Took this on Carmel river beach, the seafood came in and I couldn't get an angle that wasn't into the sun but I like the pose so here we are :-)

In my opinion, the AMTK 145 is a welcome and worthy leader for the Pittsburgh-to-New York train.
The westbound edition of Amtrak's Pennsylvanian showed up with the Phase III heritage unit leading on July 11th. A lengthy delay allowed the sun to swing just far enough to throw some light on the nose as engineer Jon Kayes prepares to take his train to Pittsburgh.

...Or, as Friend Aurelio says For Women today, everyday !
I was used to see my Amaryllis* plant blooming 2 symmetrical flowers, one opposite to the other. This time it blossomed three and the third and last (in the middle) just flowered this morning.
*Correct botanical name of these flowers above: Hippeastrum (genre Amaryllis).
Shot today in manual modality, in natural in-door noon light with my glorious Fujifilm XS-1 and its potent hyperzoom Fujinon lenses 624, an almost vintage camera exemplair bought last year pristine in box from the collection of a photographer. A great camera, a little complex as it's needed every time a manual set up and equalization of colours but apt to give true tones and such detailed textures in the things photographed that usually escape to the eye sight.

Here are some shots of Hjotra, her shield-sister Sighne and fellow warrior Arelyl in the depths of the forests of the rift seeking their next worthy foe after having hunted a leader of the silver hand, discussing past battles as they wander under the leaves, fending off the occasional wolves and frostbite spiders with swords and axe, the kind of foes quickly dispatched by their skill.
Returned from my short trip last night so I am back, had a very nice time. Will start taking shots for the next chapter of Edrelle's tale tomorrow to get things going again, not sure when I will write it, depends on how the shots go :)

Once a month, almost always the weekend closest to the end of the first fortnight, the so-called "Mercado de Motores" (ENG: "Motor Market") opens on Saturday and Sunday within the premises of the old Delicias railway station, (Madrid, Spain ), which is currently the city's Railway Museum.
We can find in this market all kinds of items for sale, handmade art pieces, as well as drinks, gastronomic delicacies...
Some of these items would be worthy of being part of a traditional museum and are highly valued by people dedicated to collecting.
MÁQUINAS DE ESCRIBIR EN EL MERCADILLO, 2023
Una vez al mes, casi siempre el fin de semana más cercano al final de la primera quincena, se abre durante el sábado y el domingo el llamado "Mercado de Motores" dentro del recinto de la antigua estación ferroviaria de Delicias, (Madrid, España), que actualmente es el Museo de Ferrocarriles de la ciudad.
Podemos encontrar en este mercado todo tipo de artículos a la venta, piezas de arte hechas a mano, así como bebidas, manjares grastronómicos...
Algunos de esos artículos serían merecedores de formar parte de algún museo de tipo costumbrista y son muy valorados por personas dedicadas al coleccionismo.
Glory of Angels (1534-1535), Dome of the Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Saronno - frescoes by Gaudenzio Ferrari (1471-1576)
Affreschi di Gaudenzio Ferrari (1471-1576)
Sono dipinti 56 differenti strumenti musicali, strumenti antichi ed altri immaginati dall'artista.
Il santuario della Beata Vergine dei Miracoli, venne eretto nel 1498 dal popolo di Saronno per dare degna ospitalità al simulacro della Madonna del miracolo (una statua della seconda metà del XIV secolo, posta allora in una cappella sulla strada Varesina) ritenuta dispensatrice di miracolose guarigioni.
Are painted fifty-six different musical instruments, antique instruments and other left the artist's imagination.
The sanctuary of Our Lady of Miracles, was erected in 1498 by the people of Saronno worthy to give hospitality to the statue of the Madonna of the miracle (a statue of the second half of the fourteenth century, then placed in a chapel on the road Varesina) held dispenser of miraculous healings .
Meet my new adventure rig, a sweet Toyota Tacoma, freshly upgraded and ready to hit the road! Drove my last adventuremobile into the ground this summer, and got this replacement a few months back. A brand new frame courtesy of Toyota, new OME suspension, and this thing has me so stoked for a summer of on and off-road exploration.
Inaugural trip happened last week, where I took it up to Montana for a week of IEEE conferencing and skiing, then back through Salt Lake for a friend's birthday, and home to Colorado again.
I got to test out the truckbed-bed a few nights in the Montana cold, and it was great! Stoked for more to come

After spending much of the day wandering around in the car trying to eek out a parking space on a sunny long weekend in Brighton, I thought I would instead drive further west instead and got to Worthing. It was not as crowded as Brighton and so spent the evening there and drove home.
Worthing's pier was the thirteenth to be built in England at a cost of £6,500 by the Worthing Pier Company. The first pile was driven into the seabed on 4 July 1861. Designed by Sir Robert Rawlinson, the Pier was officially opened on 12 April 1862. Over the years it has been rebuilt and enlarged.
The Pier was a success from the start and inevitably there were soon plans for improvements. Two kiosks were added on the landward end of the Pier in 1884 to house the tollhouse and a souvenir shop. By 1889 a pavilion had been erected at the southern end of the Pier. The landing stage was also at the southern end. It was very important to the success of the Pier as Paddle Steamers regularly moored there. The best known was the Worthing Belle, in recent years the Waverley has been a regular visitor.
The Pavilion Theatre sits at the northern end and the southern end pavilion has recently been totally renovated and returned to its former glory as a cafe & venue having been a night club for several years. An amusement arcade is in the middle of the Pier. It is a regular attraction for people to take a stroll along the deck and for fishing.

Thanks for viewing and have a nice Sunday!
More recently, an outing with a surprise ending. I'd been messing around with the camera and it's settings and forgot to go back to RAW from JPG for this outing with a friend down along Lake Erie / Long Pont area. I shoot at a high ISO and let DXO control the noise. However when shot and saved as a jpg the noise is "baked" in and not much can be done after the fact. So viewing larger will make the artifacts very noticeable, but I thought the subject content worthy of sharing...
The Burj Khalifa is a stunning feat of architecture and engineering, with two observation decks on the 124th and 148th floors.The world’s tallest building pierces the sky at 828 meters and opened 2010. Taking in the views from the world's tallest building is a deservedly crave-worthy experience – Burj Khalifa, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
SMW captures DM&IR 215 working the E-lead Switch at Proctor on a beautiful late afternoon. Welcome to Arrowhead country CN Southwell!
No doubt about it... I was humming my little victory tune in the car on the way home after shooting this one!!
I had absolutely no idea where I was going, or what I wanted to shoot when I left home with my camera yesterday afternoon. What I did know was that the clouds were looking very good and that the wind had died down completely... so I was hoping to find a nice dam somewhere... with some nice foreground interest... preferably something that I haven't shot a million times already!
While driving around aimlessly but quite intently... I kept thinking about what my friend Mark Vee recently said to me. He was so impressed with some of the subjects and compositions that I've managed to capture with my new D3100 lately... that he wondered if it wasn't perhaps a "lucky" camera? I must admit that I have been feeling rather lucky lately... somehow I've managed to find something (fairly) interesting every single time that I've gone out shooting with this camera. I was really hoping that my luck would hold out and that I would find my nice dam and interesting foreground real soon... the sun was going to set in 20 minutes... and I still hadn't found anything even remotely worthwhile!
Just then I drove past the field where our three "experimental" wind turbines are parked... should I bother to stop I wondered... I've shot these things so many times already... and I didn't remember ever seeing a dam here before. But time was running out... I'd better get my camera on my tripod soon... the light was starting to look really good... if I didn't stop now... I was going definitely to miss out on the best part of the sunset!
So I parked the car... hopped over the fence... and ran into the field to see what I could find. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this little pool of water... exactly where I needed it to be... to reflect the wind turbine perfectly in the water. Then I noticed the cracked mud covered by less than an inch of water... that would make the perfect foreground interest... what a luck! Although the wind had died down... every now and again a slight gust would start turning the blades of the turbine. That meant that I would have to wait till they stopped completely if I wanted to match up their position in both the upper and lower images that make up this Vertorama.
The sunset was nice... but the blades were still turning! I tried to shoot the upper and lower images when the blades were in exactly the same position... but I never managed to time it just right. But then... just as the clouds were at their pinkest... the blades stopped turning... and a gap opened up in the clouds right behind the turbine... framing the blades perfectly... what a luck! The best part of the clouds was also positioned perfectly to the right of the turbine... allowing me to compose my Vertorama with the turbine off-center in the frame... what a luck!!
Don't you just love it when everything falls into place like this? I simply couldn't have asked for more! This must be a "lucky" camera!! :)

As I drove through the town of Lusk, Wyoming, Philip and Mike spotted this gondola sitting on a stub track along the main. Living out it's last days in maintenance of way service, this Darby-built gon rolled out new from their Kansas City plant in 1966, and still sports a nice KATY logo on the side.
I have to agree with the gentleman in the photo. Definitely worth taking a shot.
