This sand lizard crossed our path on the shores of Slovakia‘s highest lake, Veľké Hincovo pleso. At 1946m above zero, this is not a height that usually sand lizards were found in the past (in a 1987 publication, they were claimed to very rarely live in heights up to 1550m - and this was 400m lower than the lake). I have to assume that the warming climate allowed the lizards to move further up the mountains.

1987, als die Welt noch (bzw. auch schon) in Ost und West geteilt war, das stand das Brandenburger Tor auf dem Ostteil der Stadt unmittelbar an der Berliner Mauer. Als Wessi hat man damals selbstverständlich auch einen abenteuerlichen Tagesausflug (wohlbehütet im Schulklassen-Verband mit verantwortungsbewusstem, sehr strengen Lehrer) in den Ost-Teil der Stadt gemacht. Unser Rundgang führte uns auch an diese Stelle. Da stand damals ein kleiner Zaun, ein Schritt weiter und man wäre vermutlich verhaftet worden...

In 1987, when the world was still (or already) divided into East and West, the Brandenburg Gate stood on the eastern side of the city, right next to the Berlin Wall. As a West German, you naturally took an adventurous day trip (well-protected as part of a school group with a responsible, very strict teacher) to the eastern part of the city. Our tour also took us to this spot. There was a small fence there back then; one more step and you probably would have been arrested...

Amazingly, the steel backing was not rusted out, but some loser ran it over! This wasn't worth taking in this condition because I already have a lot of these from years ago, but most of them are much more rusty than this one. This looks like it was in excellent shape before it got hit.

While headed southbound to Fall River, Conrail WNMI-2 is about to duck under the Golf Club Rd. OH bridge near Somerset Jct. The Fall River Secondary & the New Bedford Subdivision are both in the process of being rebuilt as part of the MBTA South Coast Rail commuter rail restoration project, which is scheduled to open later this year.. While MassDot owns these lines, Mass Coastal currently dispatches, maintains and operates freight service over this territory.
My Dad (the conductor) is in the fireman's doorway of GP-15-1 #1664! March 17, 1987.
This pic is a "recycled" shot which I posted a couple of years ago when I didn't have many followers.
Check out this link to my son Mikey's post for a current view of Mass Coastal at the same location. flic.kr/p/2ocJf1M

The remains of the turntable at Garsdale taken three months before being removed to the K&WVR where it is now used at Keighley station.
It was installed initially by the Midland Railway to turn banking engines that were necessary on the steeper sections of the S&C.
A Carlisle - Leeds DMU is seen approaching Garsdale station just to the right of the train.
Copied from one of my old Fujichrome colour slides.
