No Traffic?

I don't know if you can ever get a picture of the the Bangkok railway station without traffic in front of it, but it certainly didn't happen the day I was there!  This is actually several pictures taken over a couple minutes while leaning hard against a lamp post.  Afterwards I overlaid all the images and erased the bits that had vehicles in them.  It took a little patience, but it did give me an unobstructed view...eventually.

Season's End

Last photo of the evening, October 29 (30?) of 2020.  It was dark enough, I genuinely could not see most of this color with the naked eye.

Castle in the borderlands

Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne, & Chicago

Paddington

It's an incredible station with considerable history.  It's also still quite busy today.  

Take a look here for more photos and an interesting book on Paddington's history

Night Flight

RAF Museum in London, UK.

Open Road

 Taken on a drive through the Pennines. I'm not 100% certain, but I believe I'm facing North here and that's Kirkhaugh just off to the right. 

On the porch, chatting with neighbors

Because, Race Plane!

RAF Museum in London, UK.  Note the lack of ailerons; this was a wing warping design!

Multitool!

Seen in the Leeds Industrial Museum.  

Can you imagine the sound of the belts slapping?  Just think of all the oiling around necessary each day to keep all the shafts and idlers spinning smoothly.  

I'm reminded of a comment I saw in "Cathedrals of Steel" a small book about the railroad roundhouses at Galesburg, IL.  One 'old timer' noted that the biggest improvement ever made to the roundhouse was the introduction of electric machine tools.  Rather than running a big lineshaft system all the time you had considerably less noise by powering individual machines with individual motors that could be switched off when not needed.
