The Cat's Whiskers

A particular British locomotive has been named "Felix" after a famous Huddersfield Station cat, but I felt it should have a more fitting livery.

Night Flight

I have taken another round of night time photos, but this time involving Jam Jar at Tontine Street (with the owner's permission, of course). It was just opening time when I passed by at 6 pm on this damp January evening, hence there being no-one about which was ideal for me and my camera and I was only able to be out for a limited time anyway.

Moon & Venus

The moon and Venus (also nicknamed "The Evening Star") as seen from the relative safety of my west-facing front garden.

Legend has it that as the very last steam locomotive built for British Railways rolled out of a works shed at the end of a cold February's day in 1960, workers wanted to give it a name when one person looked to the sky and commented on how bright Venus was. The loco was thus named The Evening Star.

The loco in question, a Standard Class 9f 92220, is currently stored in the National Railway Museum in York.

After The Rain

It is a similar theme to the one of the Old High Street on a wet evening taken before Christmas but this time nearer to Folkestone harbour.

Monday Afternoon Bonding

Getting Your Skates On

It has been a while since I last done a topical local-based doodle, this is where a new £14 million skate park has been five years in the making and is still not completed.

Something Fishy Is Going On

Have done this updated version of an old doodle. It's just to keep the artistic juices flowing as well as testing a new Canon scanner/printer machine thingy.

Moonrise

Spotted this pretty looking moonrise over St Peter's church at Folkestone viewed from mother's bedroom this evening.
