Mandarin Orange Monday: Waiting for the Storm

October 28, 2013 – (Reuters) – 
“Hurricane strength winds battered Britain and the Netherlands on Monday, killing five people, cutting power and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights and train journeys before the storm barrelled further into mainland Europe.”

“Gusts of up to 99 mph (160 kph) lashed southern England and Wales today in the worst storm recorded in Britain in a decade, while Denmark and Sweden were bracing for the impact there.”

Among other precautions, Sweden has cancelled all passenger trains in the south of the country ahead of the storm's arrival; and people are recommended to stay indoors.
The TV news at 6 pm reported  about 16500 households without electricity so far.

Around where I live we are still waiting for the worst of the storm as I post this.

Below I’m playing around a little for Mandarin Monday ▼

The text on the back of his vest says “engine driver”

I like how the features of the people inside the train stood out more when I turned the photos into “drawings”. The man leaning out of the window in the first picture; and the woman standing in the doorway in the second one.

Mandarin Orange Monday

A couple of weeks at a wedding in the Museum Park (see post at my other blog) I spotted this orange & green car (coming to deliver something for the catering, I think).

I “took it for a spin” especially for Mandarin Monday

 

 

 

Mandarin Monday / Ruby Tuesday

Hard to say really, if the colour of these giant poppies should be called orange or red… I’ll be taking advantage and linking this photo to both memes ;-)

The Azaleas are in full bloom just now in the old cemetery close to where I live. Took the camera for a walk there late Sunday afternoon… There are also red ones and yellow ones, but I made this selction of orange ones for…
