Man, there are few things out there more polarizing to people than creamy drinks. And it’s funny, you know, because I think it’s a pretty universal thing that our mouths just water at the sight of a creamy cocktail. Look at a properly made Ramos Gin Fizz. Or a White Russian. Or Egg Nog. How…

As a companion to my recent modern image from Sunderland station, here is a shot from about forty years ago showing a first generation DMU leaving with a service for (apparently) Middlesbrough. The photo is from either late 1979 or early 1980, probably the latter. I have absolutely no records for this image so it is an educated guess. What I do know is that I made a trip to the North East around that time with a fellow student. I think this is a pair of twin car Class 101 Metropolitan-Cammell DMUs. The leading set (if not both) is refurbished, as evidenced by the lack of a two-character headcode panel which would have been installed originally. I referred to railcar.co.uk to help identify the type of unit. Massive credit is due to those responsible for writing and maintaining that site - the level of detail available there is insane! If you have not had a look at railcar.co.uk I thoroughly recommend it. The viewpoint for the photo is just off Burden Road, where the railway plunges into Sunderland South Tunnels. On my February 2020 visit to Sunderland I arrived in the city by bus from Peterlee and alighted in Burden Road, just by the war memorial in Mowbray Park. Little did I realise at the time that it was only a few yards from the place where I'd made this photo all those years before.
Northbound or southbound? Which way should you head on a thru-hike? Northbound Nowadays, over 90% of thru-hikers head northbound. We recommend starting northbound thru-hikes in late April or early May. Your start date will depend on the snow situation in the Sierra Nevada and in the mountains of Southern California. Start too early and you […]

Follow Me -> Twitter * 500px * Google+ Clapham Common Tube Station UPDATE DEC 2011 - #14 on Explore for 20.12.2011 - thank you very much everybody! :-) I am slowly getting through my photos that I took the other day now that I have more time on my hands. Still carrying on with my London Underground photography project. Clapham Common tube station is one of a few that has an island platform that creates a symmetrical effect when two trains are in the platform at the same time. I was very happy that I managed to capture it as it took me several attempts in the past to get it where two trains were in the platform at the time. I was very lucky, as soon as I pulled in on my train went up the stairs and waited and then the next set of trains came in at the same time :-) I snapped away as I knew this opportunity would not come around again so easily. This is probably one the best ones out of the ones that I took. Its a HDR photo made from a single image. Once processed in the Photomatix, I re-imported in LR3 and then processed further. At the end I was not happy with the barrel distortion so put it through PTLens (great program for sorting out distortion) and this is the result. Photo Details Sony A700 Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR RAW HDR f/2.8 17mm ISO100 1/15s exposure Software Used Lightroom 3.0 Photomatix 4.1 PTLens Information The station is at the eastern tip of Clapham Common and was opened in June 1900 as the new southern terminus of the City & South London Railway, which was extended from Stockwell. It remained the terminus until the Morden extension was opened in 1926. Apart from a small domed entrance building on the tip of the narrow triangular island formed by The Pavement and Clapham Common South Side, the station is entirely underground. A curved steel and glass pavilion was built on the south-east end of Clapham Common South Side by architects firm Aukett Fitzroy Robinson. This links to the below-ground ticket hall via a pedestrian tunnel under the road. Clapham Common is one of two remaining deep-level stations on the underground that has an island platform in tunnel serving both the northbound and southbound lines, the other being Clapham North. Because of safety worries there are plans to replace them. Clapham Common is one of eight London Underground stations that have a deep-level air-raid shelter underneath them. Both entrances to the shelter are north of the station on Clapham High Street. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clapham_Common_tube_station
