Taken from Mosaic Stadium. The picture shows the degraded visibility from the stands caused by the wildfire smoke. The legislative building is 1.5 miles away and smoke is obscuring it. The game is delayed by 45 min to account for that. #yqr #cfl.
Photo before the start of the CFL Friday Night game between Calgary and Saskatchewan in Regina, SK. Photo shows degradation of visibility caused by wildfire smoke in the north.

Refactoring of the Oregon Pass Lines layout from the Atlas Model Railroad Co. HO King-Size Plan Book. Instead of it being in HO scale and using Atlas track it's been redone in N Scale using Kato Unitrack. There are a couple of differences between the original plan, and this one. (Noted below)

A few attempts at capturing motion on an HO Scale layout. The trains only moved a few centimetres while the shutter was open, so there's not much motion visible, and there were about 60-80 discarded images to get these images. Taken at Supertrain 2025 #modeltrains #modelrailroading #hoscale

Well the Supertrain trip ended badly. We hit some unknown road hazard. Damaged the rim, tore the side out of the tire and maybe buggered other stuff.
