Random Photo Thread (not Bikes)

my last machine when I retired from Simms metal

 

Wow, andy, you must be "The Bird Whisperer" for that little guy to not fly off when you got that close!

 

this is the northern territory australia use to work on the line 200km 0ut of Alice springs 1970

 

A really great snap. When you zoom in you can see the layers of feathers. No wonder they stay warm . A photo likes this also demonstrates how far iPads have come in their ability to zoom in and not lose definition . Makes a change to be zooming in on a bird and not feel guilty...

 

todays walk

 

Your dogs have grown a bit since last pics!

 

this one my son took with a iPhone 11

 

Wow! Amazing, my compliments to your photographer son, Jadorff!

 

Not the sharpest of images but it was taken using my ancient nokia 'phone through the window of the carriage of a moving steam train (The West Highland Railway) between Fort William and Mallaig.

 

I've seen "The Jacobite" numerous times, but have never been on it... That's a beautiful picture!

 

Now THEY are stunningly beautiful pictures.

Really must get off my fat, lazy @rse and get the DSLR out of hibernation.

 

I'd wager that you've seen the Jacobite from the sea - which must add a wonderfully unique perspective to it.

We had desperately wanted to get a bright sunny day for the ride but it was not to be - more like "haar" it was so wet and misty. But, that brief moment when the rainbow was created by a small patch of clarity in the low cloud and mist, had an almost surreal ethearality to it - practically everyone on the train gasped audibly - and, for what seemed like minutes but, in reality, was actually seconds that rainbow almost seemed to be chasing the train!

Wim., time to get back there and take that ride - it's worth every shiny penny and slow moment ...... even in the rain!

 

And now for something COMPLETELY different! And truly unique .....

THE NORTON 650 FOUR

 

I have seen it from the sea, actually - but more often in the station at Arisaig. I'd love to go back and take that ride, I'd imagine you get some great views!

 

NNNooo! You broke the thread rule!! (great photos though )

 

WHOOOOPS .... SORREEE! Completely forgot that the thread title does state 'not bikes'. I'd been looking through my photo's folder for the rainbow shot and saw the Norton photos and just thought .... hmmmmm..... sunny; bike; just about useable size - do it!

I guess it's just another thread derailment - but I'll pull 'em, if you like?

 

very good photos
