The joys of the ‘Great Little Trains of Wales’ to quote an old tourist slogan. This painting brings back happy memories of a day spent on the Tallylyn Railway, and captures one of their trains approaching Dolgoch Falls.
The Diesel Engine that is the Sand Blaster that I used to use where I used to work. It’s amazing the punishment these engines can be put through and yet the just keep going!!
There is just something about old, outdated, outsize gauges that i simply can not resist! its not often you get to see them still in this nice condition, normally the glass has been smashed or the metal attempted to be stolen.
This photo has been nameless for a while. I don’t like to have too many “Untitled” so I gave it a name. This dashboard? is in the same location as “Yield” and “Drive”. I was able to jump in the cab of a 92,000 pound dump truck. It was no longer in use and considered a museum type object in the little town of Globe, Arizona. Thanks for looking!

Gauging Rain © / Vicki Ferrari Rain Gauge Simplicity Hoping for rain but the gauge is empty – there are a couple of clouds in the sky though! Taken in 2006 Nikon D70. Mind you, in Queensland, on the Gold Coast, the rain gauge seems to fill up quite well lately. We are lucky… / This image reminds me of looking out at the clouds going by in the sky, going straight over, when you have just sown wheat and you really need the rain!
Even as a small girl, Lucinda’s passion for millinery was immediately apparent. As a small tot, the lovely, quiet little girl put absolutely everything on her head and wore it about. Buckets, bowls, wastepaper baskets, lampshades – even pancakes were not safe from her deep need for headwear. Usually a rather solemn child, nothing brightened little Lucinda’s countenance like an unlikely object balanced precariously on her tiny head. As she grew, her efforts became more elaborate and she constructed origamically engineered masterpieces out of the New York Times and fanciful confections out of bits of lace, satin and felt. Her obsession with millinery was equaled only by her affection for all things aquatic, an affinity that became glaringly apparent when she perpetrated a swift kick in the shin against a distant but wealthy relative as he tucked in to an outsized lobster tail. Such all-consuming passions coupled with introversion can prove socially problematic even for strikingly attractive young ladies, but Lucinda seemed to bear it no mind. She simply tucked her sketchbook under her arm and decamped for the aquarium, where she whiled away endless hours designing headwear by the watery blue glow of the undersea exhibit. It was there that she happened to make the acquaintance of the dashing, handsome and equally odd Captain Lucien Octavio (see “Adventures of Capt. Octavio”). He wasn’t a captain yet, of course, but how could he help but be utterly smitten by a lovely young lady with a small coral reef artfully stitched to her cloche? He called for Lucinda as soon as he got his first ship, the Marinus Profundis, and they were wed on Octavio’s famous deep sea expedition to the Marianas Trench. The newlyweds each gained additional companionship on that trip, and Lucinda named hers Olive. Lucinda immediately set to work creating hats that would allow the Octavios’ cephalopodic companions to accompany them anywhere, and what magnificent chapeaux they were! Elaborate gauges and pumps ensured Olive’s moist comfort, and the octopus proved quite indispensable as a hat-making assistant. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.

There is a saying in Alaska ~ “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade, yet, when Alaska hands you Fireweed, make Fireweed Jelly…. or Fireweed Honey…. or Fireweed Ice Cream… The beautiful wildflower Fireweed in Alaska is nature’s seasonal weather gauge. In Autumn, when the foliage turns a deep scarlet red and the Fireweed tops out and blows seed, first snow is only weeks away. It is perhaps one of the most well known and most photographed of Alaska wildflowers. There are many things including a lodge named after it. Fireweed blooms from the bottom petals up. The flower petals of Fireweed may be tossed into your delicious fresh salads, bottled in vinegar and used in dressings, and included as well in many wonderful baked goods. “Fireweed” is the common name for the perennial plant Epilobium angustifolium.

With great distances to cover, when the Australian states began to install railways, there was one thorn in the great thing they were doing. They all wanted the gauge to be different. I grew up near the border between New South Wales and Victoria and our trains were different. It is only a few years ago that they began converting Victoria to the same gauge as NSW (and Europe), but they have not yet completed the task. This was taken in 1996 not long after they got the track completed between Albury and Melbourne enabling a ‘Country Link’, between Sydney and Melbourne Taken with Pentax camera and 70-300 mm Sigmalens on Kodachrome film.
