Waterfall?

Perhaps a bit understated, but there is still water falling.  Beehive Falls,  Grampians National Park, Victoria, Australia    

Red Dragon

This 2-10-0 was known as the Evening Star; The Red Dragon placard designates the name of the train being pulled.  I must have taken this picture between 2008 and 2010 because this locomotive was temporarily at the Swindon Steam Museum to celebrate its 50th anniversary.  It was built in March of 1960 making it the last steam locomotive built by British Railways.

Vim and Vickers

Still Waters

Brighton Junction

This particular scene has been gone for several years now as the this junction has been modernized.  I doubt the switchman much enjoyed being stuck in a tiny shack and using a portapot all winter.  

Who needs landing gear?

Me164 Komet.  

Really, if someone straps you into a glider with a rocket and two 30mm cannon shoehorned inside, you can't assume that a safe landing was high on their list of priorities.

The Wright Stuff

Looming

Jacquard looms like this were high level automation for the era.  They used paper punch cards to define the pattern woven into the cloth.  Up until the manufacture of reliable magnetic films this same technology dominated computing as well!
