It figures that the one photo I take with the wrong settings so that the picture comes out blurry, would be the one I like the most.
Dyxie tidbit #3 - I am such a boring individual. It's Friday night, I am in my woobie already, I am about to watch The Royal Tenenbaums and I will probably be asleep before 10 PM. But that's okay. I like it that way.
Having dropped my wife at City Airport, for her trip to Dublin, I thought I'd get a photo of her plane taking off. Unfortunately a cabin crew issue meant that her flight was delayed by 1/2 an hour - so this is definitely the wrong plane!
Rainbow connection
Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side
Rainbow’s are visions
They’re only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we’ve been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they’re wrong wait and see
Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it’s done so far
What’s so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see
Someday we’ll find it
That rainbow connection
The lovers the dreamers and me
All of us under it’s spell
We know that it’s probably magic
Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I’ve heard them calling my name
Are these the sweet sounds that called
The young sailors
I think they’re one and the same
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
There’s something that I’m supposed to be
Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

LOC Title: James River, Virginia. Interior view of Ft. Brady
Date: 1865
Photographers: Andrew J. Russell and T.C. Roche [per NPS historical marker]
Notes: A stereoscopic view of the interior of Union Fort Brady, situated on the James River, about 11 miles from Richmond (as the crow flies). The camera is facing towards the James, and to the left is the powder magazine, protected by dirt and logs. I could be wrong, but I believe the civilian standing at right is photographer T.C. Roche. The fort was manned by soldiers of Company C, 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery.
This is a new version of the anaglyph I posted in 2015, with select sharpening, increased depth, additional repairs, and some other minor adjustments. Below, I've added some background information on the fort - transcribed from the NPS historical markers at Fort Brady, Richmond National Battlefield Park.

Richmond-Petersburg Campaign
October 1864 - April 1865
“After the partially successful Union attacks against the Confederate lines at Fort Harrison and on Chaffin's Farm in September 1864, the two sides settled in for long-term operations. The winter of 1864-1865 witnessed a proliferation of entrenching. Soldiers in both blue and gray shoveled dirt endlessly. They built new forts to protect artillery, and mile after mile of parapets for infantry. When one army extended a line, the other army usually mirrored it.
The dynamic James River flowed through the middle of it all, adding a naval element to what had been a land-based campaign. Fort Brady, which stands intact today, became a valuable asset for Union generals. Its presence helped counter similar Confederate forts across the James. It also became the keystone in a series of riverside earthen fortifications whose presence instilled caution in the Confederate States Navy.”
Fort Brady
“Before you looms Fort Brady, one of the best-preserved Civil War forts in the National Park Service. Like most of the fortifications built during the Civil War, Fort Brady was made of earth instead of fragile bricks. Dirt could better withstand the heavy artillery projectiles used by both sides.
Union photographers Andrew J. Russell and T.C. Roche arrived south of Richmond in 1865 and recorded some of the most important images of Fort Brady….In the six months of Fort Brady's wartime existence, these guns fired 1,356 rounds.
In October 1864, just days after Fort Harrison was captured by Union troops, Federal engineers designed a 2½-mile-long line of fortifications connecting Fort Harrison to Fort Brady here on the James River. Their plan called for strategically placed artillery redoubts connected by infantry trenches along the entire length.
For nearly a month the First New York Engineers, assisted by the 127th United States Colored Troops, labored to complete the work. In addition to building earthworks, they cut down trees for several hundred yards in front of the works and strengthened the defenses with sharpened tree limbs know as abatis. By November 1864, the menacing field and siege artillery moved into position, virtually ensuring a Federal presence on this side of the James River for the remainder of the war.”
Guarding the James
“After tremendous labor in a short period of time, the fort was ready for defense. By mid-October 1864, Company C, 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery brought several large cannon into the fort and mounted them along the walls facing the James River. The fort soon bristled with more than 10 large-caliber cannon and mortars. Their mission: stop Confederate ironclads and gunboats from moving downriver toward the Union headquarters and supply depot at City Point.”
Battle of Trent's Reach
“In a daring attempt to attack the Federal supply base at City Point, 11 warships of the James River Squadron ventured downriver on the night of January 23, 1865. Confederate land batteries fired against Fort Brady as the darkened warships steamed past. One incoming shell disabled a gun in the fort. The foray ended in failure when the Confederate vessels ran into the Federal fleet downriver. Fort Brady's gunners stood ready and shelled the Confederate squadron on their return trip upriver on January 25. Although bloodied, Fort Brady’s defenders had survived their first and only major combat test of the war.
“About 3 A.M., January 25, [I] was apprised by [the] pickets of the return of the [Confederate] boats...waited until they came directly opposite, fired, and knocked over the smoke-stack of the leading one…Worked [the guns] as rapidly and surely as possible, and succeeded in sending some 125 solid shot at them before steaming out of range....All this was under a terrific fire, the enemy putting from ten to fifteen hundred heavy shell in and around my battery....But three men, two engineers and one colored support, were killed inside the work; upward of forty of my company were knocked down by splinters.... - Capt. Henry H. Pierce, Co. C, 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery”

A signal failure at platform 4 meant that some down trains used platform 2 for a time on the evening of 6 July. All platforms are signalled for bi-directional working, but this movement is still relatively unusual.
This is the biggest disappointment.
"Night Elves"
Left is what I got. Right is what the website showed.
In their defense, maybe, this yarn was impossible for ME to photograph accurately. I had to do it without flash, and then photoshop the hell out of it to get the colors remotely close to the skein sitting next to me right now.
Honestly? It looks like a Wollmeise Poison No. 5 ripoff. It's magenta and black/very dark purple (sunlight will help me tell the difference). It's nowhere near the blue and black that the picture shows.
I've contacted the dyer, but I got an auto-response saying she's on vacation since 9/28 and no return date was provided. I'm not holding my breath.
Update 10/25/08: I finally heard from the dyer - she thinks they sent the wrong skein, and is refunding it. It's not worth me shipping back and them sending a new one.
Photos of my locomotives in various places on earlier versions of my layout. I go into a lot more long-winded, boring, and mostly wrong rants on this stuff at my blog:
One from my archive, shot on Roosevelt Island, New York. A pretty definite statement no chance of any misunderstanding here.
Never has a classic Aston Martin DB5 ever been seen in, such a wrong location for the car, the background really isn't pretty with the barb wire fence, truck and the house, the Aston belongs in Monte Carlo not what looks like some rough housing estate. This photo was actually taken at Speedfest at Grampian Transport Museum in Alford.
Sitting around the house trying to improve my photography skills. Just something random i thought would look cool through a lens
