Very lazy translation

Another wet and windy night which resulted in our bathroom extractor fan going Kaput!! so a day at home to see if we can get an electrician around.. I did another version of this but my OH preferred this one . I usually ignore his preferences 😇 which is why I uploaded my own (in comments😬

You see some strange things in photography once you properly at a photo. This starling has either a newt or lizard jammed in it's mouth and shortly after starts bashing it on the concrete so it goes down smoothly. I have more pictures but the sun was so in and out and my metering and auto exposure is kaput on my d500 so it's slow guess work at the moment. note to oneself, GET IT FIXED! lol

And it passes very quickly despite Lockdown because this was my umpteenth attempt at this - a LE shot , camera on tripod but because my wireless remote is kaput, I opened the mirror lock , set it on a 2sec timer .. hey voila! (Backdrop is my TV screen )

Den Regenschirm hätte man heute gut gebrauchen können.

Remnants from the heyday.

For Luna anyway. And in a way, us. Stress reliever. Deborah is swamped with year end rush. Apparently it sneaks up on everyone, and then it is an emergency. I my self have multiple video edits to do, but have chosen not to do them today.

I think this 50mm lens I am using is kaput. A blue orb has appeared, and has rendered some of my photos that I had taken on Christmas no good. So I am now saving my pennies for a new nifty 50.

I would like to thank everyone for their fav's and comments over the past year, even though I am on flickr less and less. I would also like to wish everyone a wonderful and safe New Year. Happy 2021!

The coneflowers are about kaput in the local prairies.

kaputter Kerzenständer

My old computer gave up the ghost last week. I have a temporary replacement while I wait for a new one. Unfortunately I have lost all my photos from way back when which were on Picture Project and can only hope my son can find them again when he gets back from Croatia (as he had recently backed up my files). This would happen on my birthday (hence the image!) so I won't be responding in my usual way for at least a couple of weeks if not more. I hope to be back sometime....

De mecanicien van Garage Tolhoek moet er met zijn Ford- takelwagen aan te pas komen om de in de polder gestrande Oldsmobile te bergen. De weinige passagiers in verbrandingsmotorrijtuig OmC 909 hebben vanuit het comfortabele spoorwegvoertuig een goed zicht op de takelwerkzaamheden. Hoewel de auto's het in de late jaren twintig nog wel eens af laten weten, zijn de verbrandingsmotorwagens van de spoorwegen al behoorlijk betrouwbaar. In de speciale motorwagenremise in Goes krijgen ze na het einde van dienst dan ook de nodige zorg.

UP 5973 leads a UP trackage rights coal train east on BNSF's Red River Valley Sub near Vernon, TX.

Ironically, I had driven from the Red River Valley of North Dakota to the Red River Valley of the south this summer to attend CFIC (aka Instructor Pilot upgrade) training in the KC-135 at Altus AFB, OK. Outside of Basic Training, CFIC training was the most intense, annoying, haze-like, we're-going-to-treat-you-like-crap-just-because-that's-the-way-we've-always-done-it training I had ever gone through in the USAF. The experience was even worse considering it was July in southwestern Oklahoma and I was flying a plane that for all intents and purposes lacked air conditioning.

Also lacking air conditioning? My car. I can't remember how hot it was out here railfanning, but I was baking alive. My car had been in an accident earlier in the year, and the air conditioner wasn't quite repaired correctly and it finally went kaput when I rolled into Oklahoma in July. Needless to say, I was ticked off and hot for most of my time that summer! On the bright side, I don't remember being annoyed that I caught a UP train on a BNSF line or that the filthy engine was leading, so there's that!

Another 20 minutes and the light would have gone kaput, luckily everything worked out because I've been wanting this photo for a while. SLR train 393 lead by RM-1 804 pours it on climbing into Gilead, Maine, leaving a fog of rich smelling diesel exhaust behind as they roll west into the setting sun.
