EDIT Feburary 14th: we are still waiting for the pictures to be edited by a fellow LUG buddy ;)
Me desplacé con mi mujer hasta Galizia para pasar una semana con amigos y aprovechar para hacer alguna foto. Me llevaron a ver a Brachytron pratense que no había visto nunca.
Con un vadeador me metí en la charca donde estaba, sí la veía pero me toreaba, pasaba por mi lado y ni enfocar podía. Mi amigo me decía: no te preocupes, veremos alguna cópula y sí la vimos a dos metros y medio en alto, así que decidí cambiar el objetivo y poner el 70-300.

I moved with my wife to Galizia to spend a week with friends and take the opportunity to take a picture. They took me to see Brachytron pratense that I had never seen.
With a wader I got into the pond where I was, I saw it but I fought, I passed by my side and could not focus. My friend told me: do not worry, we will see some copulation and yes we saw it at two meters and a half high, so I decided to change the objective and put the 70-300.

What happened three days ago is a very bad story, a 63-year-old man shot two women in the face, one 48 years old, the other 49 years old, and then took his own life, all of which happened in a town in the province of Catania, one of them allegedly had an extramarital affair with the killer: in 2022 120 women were killed, 97 of them were killed in the family or emotional sphere, of these 57 died for hand of the partner or former partner. This tragic and sad incipit linked to the ever-present drama of feminicides, to introduce the photographic story that I made in the town of Savoca (Messina - Sicily) on 08/13/2022, of a very particular representation that was held last time in August 2018; is a narration that pits Evil (a devil armed with a long grappling hook) against Good (Saint Lucia, who holds a silver palm leaf in her hands), the Evil-Devil tries to seduce-distract Saint Lucia with own grappling hook, instead Saint Lucia remains impassive in front of her flattery: violence against women in this very suggestive representation finds distant and deep roots, Saint Lucia actually represents those women who in medieval times had to suffer the abuses perpetrated by the Baron of Savoca nicknamed "Barone Altadonna", which making use of the law "ius primae noctis" (from the Latin "right of the first night"), referred to the "right" according to which a feudal lord could rape a newly married woman on her wedding night. Therefore, this is a photographic narration that speaks of the eternal struggle that takes place between good and evil, which speaks of a dark period of history, speaks of the violence suffered by women but also by those who belonged to the poorest social classes, historical facts that have been handed down to us in the form of a story and associated-transmuted in the martyrdom of Saint Lucia, this is what happens in the town of Savoca (Sicily). This is a report of the living representation of the martyrdom of Saint Lucia (patron saint of the city of Savoca); the cult of the young Saint of Syracuse seems to date back to the fifteenth century, under the influence of Spanish traditions. The living re-enactment of the history of St. Lucia takes place on two consecutive days, Saturday and Sunday: here I try to tell some moments of Saturday, the day during which the celebration does not take place in its full beauty, it is the day during which "the silver palm" is delivered "from the Lucia of the previous edition" to the "Lucia of the current edition", it is the day during which the last details are tested, above all the "impassivity of the little girl who impersonates Saint Lucia", lovingly called "the Lucia".. And 'This is a historical event which speaks of Demons and Angels: Saint Lucy refused to marry a rich and powerful suitor (Lucy declared She was married in Christ), which reported the Christian faith of Lucia to prefect Pascasio that ordered his Praetorian Guard to drag Lucia with a rope to a place of prostitution; legend has it that the Holy became heavy, they then tried to drag it with the help of oxen, but it was impossible to move it from where he stood; failing in this, it was then given the order to cavarle eyes, but the young martyr (native of Syracuse) her eyes reappeared.
In the village of Savoca a young girl, affectionately called the "Lucy" is carried on the shoulder of a porter along the streets of the country (sitting on a pillow tied on the shoulder of a man, but in fact men are two); the young Saint remains impassive in the face of demonic temptations: the Devil, called in Sicilian dialect "u Diavulazzu, shake, shakes, turns his pitchfork in an attempt to "distract" the Saint.
The first day of this representation, on Saturday, in an old church in Savoca, the two girls who impersonate the Lucia, of the current year and the previous year, meet with the delivery of palm; the traditional event which we witness on Saturday, has all the appearance of an important rehearsal for the next day, on Sunday when the traditional festival will take place in all its beauty.
Sunday: on top of the procession there are the "Jews" (the emissaries of the prefect Pascasio) along with some Angels, is located immediately after the wagon drawn by two cows from which branches off a rope that will arrive to Saint Lucia (a girl of six years); between her and the cows there are Roman soldiers, who make their way through the crowd squirming like crazy; to hold the rope there are also male figures; the job of Devil (his mask is made of wood, whose invoice is dated, it seems, of the 400') is to distract the little Saint with the help of a long stick equipped of curved points, called "u 'croccu": Lucia hardly is deceived by the promises of the evil one, she will not abandon the state of her property concentration, aided in this by staring, almost in a trance, a small palm branch in silver , she brings devoutly in her hands.It's very important to mention the Baron Baldassarre (nicknamed Baron Altadonna), who applied without any hesitation the practice of Jus de seigneur: using this law the Baron obliged the young brides to spend the wedding night in his alcove. It 'very possible that in the representation of Saint Lucia of Savoca the character of the Devil tempting young Santa with his pitchfork, in reality is nothing but himself, Baron Altadonna, so allegorically described in this traditional Sicilian feast: the figure of the Devil if one takes into account what historians relate, does not belong more to the legend, but sadly to actual event happened.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E' una bruttissima storia quanto accaduto tre giorni fa, un uomo di 63 anni, ha ucciso a colpi di pistola in pieno volto due donne, una di 48 anni, l'altra di 49 anni, per poi togliersi la vita, il tutto accaduto in una cittadina in provincia di Catania, una di loro avrebbe avuto una relazione extraconiugale con l'assassino: nel 2022 sono state 120 le donne uccise, 97 di loro sono state uccise in ambito familiare o affettivo, di queste 57 hanno trovato la morte per mano del partner o ex partner. Questo tragico e triste incipit legato al sempre attuale dramma dei femminicidi, per introdurre il racconto fotografico che ho realizzato nella cittadina di Savoca (Messina - Sicilia) il 13/08/2022, di una particolarissima rappresentazione che si era tenuta l'ultima volta nell'agosto del 2018; è una narrazione che vede contrapposto il Male (un diavolo armato di un lungo rampino), al Bene (Santa Lucia, che stringe tra le mani una foglia di palma d'argento), il Male-Diavolo tenta di sedurre-distrarre Santa Lucia col proprio rampino, invece Santa Lucia resta impassibile davanti le sue lusinghe: la violenza sulle donne in questa rappresentazione molto suggestiva, trova radici lontane e profonde, Santa Lucia in realtà rappresenta quelle donne che in epoca medioevale dovevano subire gli abusi perpetrati dal Barone di Savoca soprannominato "Barone Altadonna", che avvalendosi della legge "ius primae noctis" (dal latino "diritto della prima notte"), si riferiva al “diritto” secondo cui un signore feudale poteva violentare una donna appena sposata durante la sua prima notte di nozze. Quindi questa è una narrazione fotografica che parla dell'eterna lotta che avviene tra il bene ed il male, che parla di un periodo buio della storia, che parla delle violenze subite dalle donne ma anche da tutti coloro che appartenevano alle classi sociali più povere, fatti storici che sono stati tramandati fino a noi in forma di racconto ed associati-trasmutati nel martirio di Santa Lucia, questo è quanto accade nel paese di Savoca (Sicilia). Questo è un report della rappresentazione vivente del martirio di Santa Lucia (Santa patrona della città di Savoca); il culto della giovane Santa di Siracusa sembra risalire al XV secolo, sotto l'influenza delle tradizioni spagnole. La rievocazione vivente della storia di Santa Lucia avviene in due giornate consecutive, il sabato e la domenica: qui tento di raccontare alcuni momenti della giornata del sabato, giorno durante il quale la festa non si svolge nel pieno della sua bellezza, è il giorno durante il quale “la palma d’argento” viene consegnata “dalla Lucia della edizione precedente” alla “Lucia dell’attuale edizione”, è il giorno durante il quale si testano gli ultimi dettagli, soprattutto si mette alla prova “l’impassibilità della bambina che impersona Santa Lucia”, chiamata amorevolmente “la Lucia”. E' questa una rievocazione storica che parla di Demoni ed Angeli: la storia rievoca di quando la Santa, si rifiutò di andare in sposa ad un suo ricco e potente pretendente (essendosi dichiarata Cristiana e sposa in Cristo), il quale per vendetta riferì della fede Cristiana di Lucia al prefetto Pascasio; costui diede ordine ai suoi pretoriani di trascinare Lucia con una corda fino ad un lupanare, un luogo di prostituzione; la leggenda narra che la Santa divenne pesantissima, si tentò allora di trascinarla con l'ausilio dei buoi, ma fu impossibile smuoverla da dove si trovava; non riuscendo in ciò, fu allora dato l'ordine di cavarle gli occhi, ma alla giovane martire (nativa di Siracusa) gli occhi le rispuntarono. Nel paese di Savoca una giovane ragazza, chiamata con affetto "la Lucia" viene portata in spalla lungo le vie del paese (seduta su di un cuscino legato sulla spalla di un uomo; in realtà gli uomini portatori sono due, dandosi il cambio l'un l'altro); la giovane Santa rimane impassibile di fronte alle tentazioni demoniache: il Diavolo, chiamato in dialetto siciliano "u Diavulazzu, agita, scuote, fa ruotare il suo forcone nel tentativo di "distrarre" la Santa ma, vani saranno i suoi tentativi. Il primo giorno di questa rappresentazione, il sabato, in una vecchia chiesa di Savoca, le due bambine che impersonano la Lucia, dell'anno in corso e dell'anno precedente, si incontrano con la consegna della palma da una bimba all'altra; l'evento tradizionale al quale si assiste il sabato, ha tutto l'aspetto di una importante prova generale per il giorno dopo, quando la domenica la festa tradizionale avverrà in tutta la sua bellezza. La domenica: in cima alla processione ci sono i "Giudei" (gli emissari del prefetto Pascasio) insieme ad alcuni Angeli, subito dopo si trova il carro tirato da due giumente dalle quali si diparte una corda che giungerà fino a cingere il fianco della bimba che impersona Santa Lucia (una bambina di sei anni); tra lei e le giumente ci sono i soldati Romani, che si fanno largo tra la folla dimenandosi a più non posso; a tenere la corda ci sono anche delle figure maschili che evitano che gli strattonamenti dei soldati romani possano giungere fino alla Santa (ricordiamolo, che è legata a quella corda); davanti alla Santa piroetta il diavolo tentatore, u' Diavulazzu (la maschera è in legno, la cui fattura è datata, sembra, del 400'), il cui compito è quello di distrarre la piccola Santa con l'aiuto di un lungo bastone dotato di punte ricurve, chiamato dialettalmente "u' croccu": Lucia difficilmente si lascerà ingannare dalle promesse del Maligno, non abbandonerà quel suo stato di immobile concentrazione, aiutata in ciò dal fissare, quasi in stato di trance, un piccolo ramo di palma in argento, che lei stringe devotamente tra le sue mani. E’ fondamentale menzionare tra i vari personaggi storici della tradizione, il barone Baldassarre, vissuto in Savoca in epoca medioevale, soprannominato barone Altadonna, che applicava senza remora alcuna la pratica della Jus primae noctis: avvalendosi di questa legge il barone obbligava le giovani spose a trascorrere la prima notte di nozze nella sua alcova. E’ fortemente ipotizzabile che nella rappresentazione di Santa Lucia di Savoca il personaggio del Diavolo che tenta la giovane Santa col suo forcone, in realtà non sia altro che egli stesso, il barone Altadonna, così allegoricamente descritto nella festa tradizionale siciliana: la figura del Diavolo, se si tiene conto di quanto narrano gli storici, non apparterrebbe più alla leggenda, ma a questo tristo personaggio realmente vissuto, che usava quotidianamente la moneta della prepotenza.

First of all: I'm experiencing internet issues at home lately. So I am uploading photos from my phone (yay to good preparation, and a fairly big data plan on my mobile phone contract) to let you know I am still active, but I'm afraid I will have to be a bit frugal on my commenting and faving at the moment to not go completely overboard with my data either. With that being said...

Talla Farm
This is what I would call a proper landscape photograph, a simple image of a beautiful location.
Talla farm can be found at one end of Talla Reservoir before you make the climb up and over the pass towards Megget Reservoir. I know this location so well and made this trip so many times, but I wanted to look for something different with this one and I found a view point I've not tried before and with some really nice lighting to help the image.
Talla Farm, Talla Reservoir, near Tweedsmuir, Scottish Borders

Architect: Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (Le Corbusier) and Pierre Jeanneret
Built in: 1928-1931
Client: Savoye family
Villa Savoye is a modernist villa in Poissy, in the outskirts of Paris, France. It was designed by Swiss architects Le Corbusier and his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, and built between 1928 and 1931 using reinforced concrete.
Villa Savoye is a manifesto of Le Corbusier's five points of new architecture and the bases of modern architecture It is one of the most easily recognizable and renowned examples of the International style.
The house was originally built as a country retreat for the Savoye family. The villa is an official French historical monument since 1965 (a rare occurrence, as Le Corbusier was still living at the time).
In July 2016, the house and several other works by Le Corbusier were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Unfortunately just a few days ago (as per August 2016) this stunning looking Jumbo was repainted into the standard Atlas Air colour scheme.
I'm sure this scheme will be missed not just by me.

Au centre de la ville de Sidhpur, dans le Gujarat, se trouve un important quartier construit d'étranges maisons alignées , aux multiples influences essentiellement européennes, dont la plupart tombent hélas aujourd'hui en ruine, faute d'entretien. C'est le quartier des havelis des Dawoodi Bohras. Les Dawoodi Bohras forment une communauté de commerçants de religion musulmane ayant prospéré à Sidhpur des années 1820 aux années 1930. Enrichis par le commerce vers l’Extrême-Orient ou vers l'ouest, ils ont construit de somptueuses maisons de bois, témoins de leur réussite sociale, aux façades en stuc, ornées de pilastres, de balcons, de corniches et de toits à pignon. Les façades de ces maisons étaient peintes dans une teinte pastel , rose, vert , saumon, citron ou beige et chacune affichait le nom du propriétaire ou présentait un monogramme à ses initiales.
Quelques unes de ces maisons ont été récemment réhabilitées et sont à nouveau habitées. Celle-ci a été restaurée entre notre précédent passage de 2016 et celui de 2019. Trois des femmes visibles sur la photo porte le rhida traditionnel caractéristique de la communauté Bohra qui de nos jours vit encore essentiellement du commerce même si beaucoup de ses membres ont quitté la région.
Il reste à espérer que les propriétaires de ces havelis ou les autorités locales prendront conscience de l'importance de ce patrimoine et réhabiliteront d'autres maisons semblables à celle-ci, qui sont actuellement pour la plupart à l'abandon

Na een stop van enkele maanden verscheen in juli de welbekende Bauertrein weer op het Nederlandse spoorwegnet. Deze trein bestaat uit opvallende geel/oranje containers van de onderneming Bauer, welke beladen met vuile grond ons land binnen komen. De grond is afkomstig vanuit de Duitse plaats Grenzach-Whylen, vlak bij de Zwitserse stad Basel. In Grenzach-Whylen bevindt zich de zogenaamde ‘Kesslergrube’, een verzamelnaam voor een aantal kleinere steengroeves welke ongeveer honderd jaar geleden werden afgegraven. Nadat de groeves in de jaren ’60 volledig waren afgegraven besloot men ze vol te storten met puin, afval en allerlei andere vervuilde en giftige grond. Dit veroorzaakt natuurlijk een gigantische bedreiging voor het plaatselijke milieu en om langdurige schade te voorkomen werd in 2011 besloten dat de grond gesaneerd moet worden. Vervolgens vonden er verschillende onderzoeken plaats over de vraag hoe men dit het beste kon aanpakken, waarna in de herfst van 2015 definitief gestart werd met de werkzaamheden. De vervuilde grond wordt afgevoerd naar Nederland, waar het wordt gereinigd bij Theo Pouw Secundaire Bouwstoffen, een bedrijf wat gevestigd is in de Eemshaven. Er is een vergunning aangevraagd voor het overbrengen van maximaal 50.000 ton afval, wat neerkomt op ongeveer 2000 containers.
De vuile grond wordt in Grenzach-Whylen beladen in de Bauer-containers, welke over de weg naar het dichtbijgelegen Weil am Rhein gaan. Daar worden ze op de trein gezet en naar Veendam getransporteerd. Op de Groningen Railport aldaar worden containers weer overgeladen op vrachtwagens, waarna de laatste kilometers naar de Eemshaven over de weg worden afgelegd. Per trein worden er 40 containers meegenomen, dus totaal zullen er maximaal 50 transporten plaatsvinden tussen Weil am Rhein en Veendam. Dit wordt verzorgd door RheinCargo welke meestal gebruik maakt van een van Ascendos gehuurde Class 66. Op 20 juli kwam echter de DE668 in kleurstelling van HGK met de beladen trein het land binnen. Een dag later vertrok de machine weer met een trein met lege containers naar Duitsland, en passeert hier de fotograaf ter hoogte van Nieuwleusen.

El tigre del zoo de Madrid esta viejito .
La esperanza de vida para los tigres de Bengala machos es de entre diez y doce años, mientras que para las hembras es un poco más larga; aunque una tigresa del parque nacional de Ranthambore (India) conocida como Machli murió en agosto de 2016 a la avanzada edad de diecinueve años.1617 Algunos ejemplares en cautividad pueden llegar a vivir hasta veintiséis años. Aproximadamente el 25 % de los tigres macho del parque nacional de Kanha mueren en luchas con otros tigres.

Monument Valley is often thought to be US national park, but while its beauty certainly would qualify it for such distinction it is actually a Navajo Nation Tribal Park. It is located at the northern Arizona border with Utah. This photo was taken just outside of the tribal owned View Hotel. The area is a famous setting for numerous western themed movies.
I have previously posted a similar photo that was an HDR taken with my 14-24 mm lens and not stitched. I do like this version better as I think there is much better detail. We were so lucky with the summer cloud formations and their location within the photo. Note the vehicles on the foreground road to provide some size perspective.

Excerpt from saintelias.com:
In rural Brampton, just on the outskirts of Toronto, built in 1995, the parish church of St. Elias the Prophet rises high on the Peel Plain above the Credit River Valley. Though this building was built in 1995, the parish community was started in 1976.
A wooden structure of heavy timbers (Douglas Fir), it is sheathed in Western red cedar. It has been constructed according to an architectural style known as “Boyko”, derived from western Ukraine.
The 3 sections (altar, sanctuary, and narthex) are each topped with a dome or cupola. According to Byzantine liturgical typology, the dome is an image of the heavens.
The narthex is the world fallen after the sin of Adam, the Sanctuary is the world redeemed following the Passion and Resurrection of Christ Jesus, and the Altar is the World to Come, an image of the New Jerusalem.
The cupolas on the church of St. Elias are in the 17th century Cossack style. It is one the only 2 Boyko churches that have 5 cupolas rather than the usual 3 (the other being St. George's in Drohobych, Ukraine.
Steeped in the Byzantine Ukrainian tradition of wooden architecture, St. Elias Church was designed on the principle that architectural form should follow liturgical function.
Each space within the church has been designed in order to enable full and complete celebration of the sacramental Mysteries facilitating the active participation of the entire assembly.
Our Temple is built according to the ancient canons which prescribe that Christians should pray facing the East ("East" being a symbol of Christ.) Luke 1:79 says that the Christ is the Dayspring (Sunrise from on high ("Anatole ex ypous"...or in Latin, "ORIENS ex alto."
Excerpt from cbc.ca:
After a devastating fire, which burned St. Elias Ukrainian Catholic Church to the ground on April 5, 2014, the Brampton church has now reopened, and to celebrate the church held its opening mass and consecration on Saturday (October 1, 2016).
So I like these figs so here I am showing them.
L to R:
Rebirth Deathstroke: Quite simple just wanted to use this belt piece for him and I came um with this. (Kinda inspired off DC Purist Figs)
Catwoman: A combo of the LBM version and my previous version.
Batgirl: Just testing combos with the LBM fig cause I had a few of them.
Spoiler: If no one can cyberbully me about this fig it would be appreciated. But I tried to make a more accurate version to this photo. comicsalliance.com/files/2016/05/spoiler1.png?w=630&h...
So that is all comment and like and all that jazz.
My wife surprised me with a trip to Yosemite Valley to take some winter photos. Yosemite is one of the largest and least fragmented habitat blocks in the Sierra Nevada, and the park supports a diversity of plants and animals. The park has an elevation range from 2,127 to 13,114 feet (648 to 3,997 m) and contains five major vegetation zones: chaparral and oak woodland, lower montane forest, upper montane forest, subalpine zone, and alpine. Of California's 7,000 plant species, about 50% occur in the Sierra Nevada and more than 20% are within Yosemite. The park contains suitable habitat for more than 160 rare plants, with rare local geologic formations and unique soils characterizing the restricted ranges many of these plants occupy.[7]
The geology of the Yosemite area is characterized by granitic rocks and remnants of older rock. About 10 million years ago, the Sierra Nevada was uplifted and then tilted to form its relatively gentle western slopes and the more dramatic eastern slopes. The uplift increased the steepness of stream and river beds, resulting in the formation of deep, narrow canyons. About one million years ago, snow and ice accumulated, forming glaciers at the higher alpine meadows that moved down the river valleys. Ice thickness in Yosemite Valley may have reached 4,000 feet (1,200 m) during the early glacial episode. The downslope movement of the ice masses cut and sculpted the U-shaped valley that attracts so many visitors to its scenic vistas today.[7]
Yosemite was central to the development of the national park idea. Galen Clark and others lobbied to protect Yosemite Valley from development, ultimately leading to President Abraham Lincoln's signing the Yosemite Grant in 1864. John Muir led a successful movement to have Congress establish a larger national park by 1890, one which encompassed the valley and its surrounding mountains and forests, paving the way for the National Park System.[9] Yosemite now draws about four million visitors each year,[10] and most visitors spend the majority of their time in the seven square miles (18 km2) of Yosemite Valley.[7] The park set a visitation record in 2016, surpassing five million visitors for the first time in its history.[11] Wikipedia
Ook in België kenden we het afgelopen decennium een groot aantal boomstammentreinen naar de regio van Gouvy. In het begin reed SNCF deze treinen met twee 67000’en naar Marloie.. Daarna was het een hele poos stil over deze trafiek. Eind 2016 was er opeens weer een teken van leven in de boomstammentrafiek naar Gouvy. Tussen Gent-Zeehaven en Gouvy werden talrijke treinen met boomstammen ingelegd. Helaas hield deze trein het niet lang vol doordat de klant ontevreden was. De trein werd vaak afgekeurd door de schouwer omdat de lading buiten het profiel viel…
Hopelijk komt deze trein nog terug?
We zien de 7768 en 7812 van standplaats Kinkempois (te herkennen aan de lichtbruine kleur op de loc) met een lege boomstammentrein 23470 van Kinkempois naar Gent-Zeehaven rijden en passeren in Langdorp.

The Fly’s Eye Dome is a creation of American designer, inventor, and theorist R. Buckminster Fuller, and was originally intended to provide economical, efficient housing. Crystal Bridges acquired the 50-foot structure in 2016 after it was painstakingly restored by architectural historian Robert Rubin. This dome has not been shown in the US since its first appearance at the 1981 Los Angeles Bicentennial. Now installed on Crystal Bridges’ north lawn, Fuller’s Fly’s Eye Dome is open for public viewing.

In 1985 — just 31 years ago — a single bald eagle nest remained in the state of New Jersey. In 2015, CWF and partners monitored 161 nests throughout the Garden State. Just this year (as of June 20, 2016), over 50 young eagles have already fledged from their nests! What sparked this All-American comeback of the United States’ National Bird?
DDT use was banned in the United States in 1972. That ban combined with restoration efforts by biologists within the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP) resulted in 25 bald eagle pairs by 2000.
In 2017 the number of New Jersey active bald eagle pairs was 170.

Ik had hier al vermeld dat we die namiddag onze picknickmand hadden meegenomen. En het werd zo stilletjes aan tijd om die mand eens te verorberen en daarvoor had ik het avondplekje (inclusief picknicktafel) in Halbestadt uitgekozen. Ik nam dus na de doortocht van deze RBH-keteltrein afscheid van de twee spotters uit Nürnberg en ging mijn vrouw aan de oevers van de Elbe halen voor de rit naar Halbestadt - en hoewel dit punt in vogelvlucht maar een kleine 5 kilometer van Stadt Wehlen ligt, hadden we toch een rit van een goede 20 kilometer (een kleine 30 minuten) voor de boeg. Je moet namelijk eerst helemaal tot in Bad Schandau rijden om Halbestadt te bereiken.
Rond 19u50 waren we ter plaatse en konden we de picknickmand openen. Wat was het zalig om in de ondergaande zon aan de oevers van de Elbe onze broodjes met 'Aufschnitt' te nuttigen. Rond 20u15 - er waren ondertussen een tweetal cargo's richting Bad Schandau gepasseerd - stapte ik het veld in waar... een andere Duitse spotter ook stond te genieten van het magische licht. Samen moesten we nog een kleine tien minuten wachten tot de doortocht van deze EC 258 'Porta Bohemica' van Praag naar Leipzig.
Sinds het opdoeken van de Duitse nachttreinen in december 2016, rijdt deze EC in het pad van de vroegere EN/CNL 456 'Phoenix' die Praag met Oberhausen verbond - en ondanks het relatief korte leven van deze trein, is de toekomst nu alweer uiterst onzeker... er zijn namelijk geruchten dat deze trein naar Leipzig weer zou gaan verdwijnen ten voordele van een Railjet (ingelegd door ČD) tussen Berlijn en Graz via Praag en Wenen. Deze nieuwe dienst zou als RJ 256/257 vanaf 4 mei 2020 gaan rijden met vertrek in Berlijn om 6u16 en aankomst in de Duitse hoofdstad om 21u53. Afwachten wat de toekomst brengt...

Nach diesem RBH-Kesselwagenzug verabschiedete ich mich von dem Vater und seinem Sohn aus Nürnberg und fuhr mit meiner Frau nach Halbestadt.
In Halbestadt genossen wir das Aussicht auf Königstein, unsere Brottchen mit Aufschnitt und... diesen EC 258 'Porta Bohemica' auf der Fahrt von Prag nach Leipzig ;-)

I left Stadt Wehlen and drove with my wife to Halbestadt where we could enjoy our sandwiches in the last rays of the sun! Right on time, this EC 258 'Porta Bohemica' drove through the little station of Königstein (Sächsische Schweiz).

happy 2017 everyone and thanks for following me, thank you for all the encouragement and enthusiasm, it makes everything easier and so much more fun xx
this is one of the last uploads of my 2016 file, at a whopping 3200+ photos taken just this year, so if I weighted my vanity I guess it would come out as heavy..
love to you, kisses
Portava força temps anant darrere de les 335 de Continental Rail amb la seva característica decoració, fins feia poc la sort no m'havia acompanyat, però aquell dia d'inicis de març a Cornellà, la sort em va somriure i per fi tinc una foto decent d'aquestes locomotores. Una cosa menys a la llista de trens pendents!
A la imatge, la 335-030 amb un tren TECO passa per Cornellà procedent de Barcelona-Can Tunis en direcció cap a Saragossa-PLAZA.
Aquesta foto la vull dedicar especialment al Carlos per haver-me informat de la circulació d'aquest tren. Moltíssimes gràcies!
Llevaba mucho tiempo detrás de las 335 de Continental Rail con su característica decoración, hasta hace poco la suerte no me había acompañado, pero aquel día de principios de marzo en Cornellà, la suerte me sonrió y por fin tengo una foto decente de estas locomotoras. Una cosa menos en la lista de trenes pendientes!
En la imagen, vemos la 335-030 con un tren TECO pasando por Cornellà procedente de Barcelona-Can Tunis y con destino Zaragoza-PLAZA.
Esta foto se la dedico especialmente a Carlos por haberme informado de la circulación de este tren. Muchísimas gracias!

SN62 AYZ is an AD E20D/AD Enviro 200 new as First Hampshire & Dorset 44528 in December 2012. It later moved to the Berkshire fleet in 2016 within the First Group before joining the First Glasgow fleet in 2017. It is seen here in Motherwell working service 266 (Hamilton-Shotts).
Stanier 'Jubilee' class 4-6-0 No.45699 'Galatea' heads the 1Z41 14:10 Carlisle to Coventry 'Pendle Dalesman' charter through Cummersdale, shortly after departing from the Border City for a journey via the Cumbrian Coast line, in place of the originally planned route via the Settle-Carlisle route, closed due to serious embankment erosion at Eden Brow. The Stead McAlpin textile mill is happily going 'full belt'. Such a shot, with the requisite wind direction and climate, had been in the planning for over five years and 17 February 2016 turned out to be the day of success for me, but sadly the news of the cessation of West Coast Railway Company's mainline steam operations came about, making this an even more valuable addition to my collection and possibly never to be repeated. It will all come out in the wash.

Harambe also known as the Port of Harambe (as seen above) is the fictitious city which serves as the setting for the themed "land", Africa of Disney's Animal Kingdom. The real Harambe is a municipal port located in an unidentified county in East Africa, along the Uvumbuzi River which connects to the Indian Ocean. The colony was originally known as Harambe Village with the name Harambe being a Swahili term for communal labour. The main language used by natives in Harambe is that of Swahili though English was also very commonly spoken. The village was colonized in the year 1420 by imperial Europeans. Throughout the 1500s, the village was a major trading-port used for amoral businesses such as ivory, precious metals, & spices. Colonial British groups frequented the port in the 1800s, notably through the Tusker House establishment. Harambe would serve as a base for the company Kilimanjaro Safaris which arranged for safaris through the wilderness surrounding Harambe. Around the 1930s, the port of Harambe was visited by the colonial Adventure Trading Company which traded totems known as jujus. Prior to the year 1938, a book on Harambe was written by an author named Wilson with the title, "The Harambe Chronicles". At some point in the 19th or 20th century, the port would also host the international adventurers group known as the Wilderness Explorers. In the year 1961, the people of Harambe revolted against their European colonial overlords. Via this revolution, Harambe gained its independence and celebrated the event by declaring it as "Uhuru 1961" or "Freedom 1961". By the 1990s, the wildlife surrounding Harambe was turned into the Harambe Wildlife Reserve which aimed to preserve Africa's fauna. The Wilderness Explorers and Kilimanjaro Safaris often worked with the reserve to assist in protecting Harambe's wildlife and culture.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Or, "All for Nothing # 26".
Looking at this photograph, I'm reminded of 'Neo Tokyo' in the film, 'Akira'. Certainly, the advantage of a high viewpoint like this is that these vast cities really do seem to stretch out to infinity.
Having wandered around the entirety of the buildings edge crouched, hunching over the tripod whilst Michael wandered off, I decided to take a break until the Light Show started.
It was interesting how the interior of the 'Sky100' was set up to almost take visitors away from the windows... Photo booths, a bar, a shop... all designed to have you facing away from one of the best views in the world. It didn't work on me.

The comet came to the closest location to Earth at the date.
Ion tail showed multiple disconnection and kinking , and it seemed to reach beyond the right edge of the frame. It means that the tail was longer than 5 degrees at the night.
Two bright stars near the right upper corner were Mizar and Alcor in Ursa Major. The ability to perceive the separation of Mizar and Alcor was considered as an eye test in ancient Arab.

I can perceive the separation thanks to my rigid contact lenses.
An enhanced inverted frame is here showing the detail and movement of the ion tail.
