The Gardiner has been going through some much needed TLC, though to be honest, I'd much rather the whole highway be buried instead. It makes accessing the Waterfront a pain in the ass.

Thought I'd posted this but apparently not? He was a little confused when he turned up next door for snacks and I was there with wine.

I've been having a crazy month.
The crazy good kind of crazy, don't get me wrong hey!
I started a new project that next week will finally be unveiled and shown at a series of events and that I really can't hold in my computer anymore, gotta get those photos out before I get obsessed with them!
This new project took over everything else and so, after a month of "missing in action" status, the other day I finally had the time to go out and shoot some strangers!
And with that I mean "go out and be scorched by the unbelievably and ridiculous temperature that the roman summer brings with itself AND shoot some strangers" …
Maybe it was the month of absence from this lovely activity, maybe it was the fact that a sweaty guy asking to take your photo is not the first person you wanna meet in the streets, maybe it was the fact that standing there to get your picture taken makes you even sweatier BUT for the first time in a year or so, the other day a lot of people said "No" to me asking if I could take their portrait.
With the first two people, I didn't really mind and kept going on, but after the 5th person saying No, it kinda started getting to me.
What was I doing wrong? Why were people saying No so easily? What was the problem? Was it something depending on me or not?
If I learned anything at all, is that no matter what happens you DON'T HAVE TO OBSESS YOURSELF WITH SUCH QUESTIONS. But needless to say, the other day I did :)
A good half an hour of obsession and disappointment later, this girl popped out at the end of the street. Freckles, red hair, green eyes. By simply being there, she managed to shut the hell out of my doubts and my attention, out of the blue, was all focused on her.
Approached her, asked her if I could take her portrait and she… obviously kindly agreed.
I shot one frame. One was enough, I knew already this would have been a great one!
Gave her my card, she left and from that moment on, for the following two hours and more, all I got was a long streak of Yes.
She saved me!
Thank you, stranger!

I spotted 2 male Orca off Burghead, Moray Firth today, sadly not as close as this shot I took in Iceland earlier in the year.
BNSF 749 rolls through Belmont Metra station. They’re on the wrong main due to ongoing track construction a few miles east, near the Westmont station. July 9, 2023.
The other Leyland Titan present on Lothian's open day was fleet 480, part of the first batch of 100 delivered to Central garage in 1954 and subsequently moved to Longstone. It took a significant part amongst other vintage buses on service 26 although the Joppa screen was in use years ago for buses on service 15 ! 480 is seen here having escaped the huge traffic jam around what was London Road roundabout.
A few anecdotes from the Titan's journey:
Wee boy: 'Hey was this thing really a bus' !
Girl to passenger: 'Where's Joppa is it near Brunstane Road South' ? Passenger: 'Bingo' !
Group of boys looking at 'new' Edinburgh tram: 'Aww look at that its an auld bus with nae wheels' (I've omitted exactly what was said before the word wheels! )
Man to conductor: 'It says Regent Road on your screens so why are we in London Road?' No answer to that as not only was he correct but the 26 for many years (quite rightly) did go by Regent Road, Council please note - much time and fuel could be saved !
Presumably out of goodwill, Gemini 37633 on the 18 for Dyce stops on Market St stop. The gap is large for the 18, no stops between Music Hall and Adelphi now.

While my daughter and I were out joyriding yesterday, this set of power stopped right next to our car at the Vancouver, Washington Amtrak station. The units were waiting for marine traffic on the Columbia River to clear, so the drawbridge would close. Rumor has it that numerous Canadian National locomotives have been seen locally on BNSF in recent days.

Having secured a decent shot of 55016 “erupting” under Holgate Bridge (see previous shot) I went back for more the very next day. My target train was (I think) the 1215 York – Kings Cross. A deltic was the usual motive power so I never bothered looking down to the station to check. I was dumfounded when the target train appeared behind a 47! Another train was approaching - which was quite common on this very busy stretch of line - but to my astonishment this train had a deltic on it.
55003 MELD heads what I assume to be a late running transpennine service to Liverpool which was overtaking the Kings Cross train.
Nice too, to catch a NBC liveried bus – I’m guessing - a York/West Yorkshire Eastern Coachworks bodied Bristol VRT.
