Van 8 t/m 11 september ging ik samen met een vriend 4 dagen treinen spotten in het mooie Tsjechië. De voorspellingen lieten een aantal dagen met zon zien en qua werk kon het ook nog even.
Op vrijdag konden we de derde dag met zon aftikken en daar werd weer goed gebruik van gemaakt. We besloten de ochtend te besteden aan de diesellijnen Ostroměř-Stará Paka en Křinec-Městec Králové. 's Middags werd de hoofdlijn Nymburk-Lysa nad Labem bezocht. Bij de middagstek bij Kamenné Zboží werden binnen een uur zes goederentreinen gefotografeerd.
Hier zien we de ČDC 163 217-3 met een fraaie kolentrein richting Lysa nad Labem bij Kamenné Zboží op 10-9-2021.
A gray and foggy afternoon makes a fine backdrop for this beautiful and gnarly old maple tree.

Elk of Benezette
Elk, also known as Wapiti or Red Deer, enjoy large populations in North America, primarily in western parts of the United States and Canada. These large relatives of deer are also found in smaller populations in other parts of the world, in protected native groups or introduced populations. Their preference for open woodlands and a range of elevations make many states habitable for elk, though their current range is much smaller than their historical range.
Elk in the United States
The western U.S. and Rocky Mountain regions make up the bulk of the elk range in the United States, though some populations exist farther east. Significant populations are found in Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, such as in Yellowstone National Park and the Wyoming National Elk Refuge. Smaller pockets of elk can be found in various Midwestern states, such as South Dakota and Minnesota, and small populations have been established in eastern states including Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

" La verticalité est une composante importante du travail de David Nash. La sculpture Balance Column, 2021, en acier Corten, rappelle les cairns, ces amas artificiels de pierres dressés sur les plages. Comme grossièrement coupées à la hache, les formes géométriques de David Nash s’amoncellent en une colonne dont l’équilibre parait tantôt fragile tantôt assuré. Pour lui, la forme doit composer avec différents paramètres pour s’épanouir : la matière, l’espace et le mouvement.
David NASH : Né en 1945 à Esher, Royaume-Uni, il vit et travaille à Blaenau Ffestiniog, au Pays de Galles. Depuis 50 ans, David Nash se laisse guider par un instinct créatif qui lui est dicté par son sujet de prédilection : les arbres. Prenant la forme de sculptures parfois monumentales, parfois aux formats plus humbles, l’artiste s’adapte à chaque forme de tronc ou de branche pour inventer des sculptures et des installations..."

Black Skimmer
The Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) is a tern-like seabird, one of three very similar birds species in the skimmer family. It breeds in North and South America. Northern populations winter in the warmer waters of the Caribbean and the tropical and subtropical Pacific coasts, but the South American races make only shorter movements in response to annual floods which extend their feeding areas in the river shallows.

Burrowing Owl
The Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open dry area with low vegetation. They nest and roost in burrows, such as those excavated by prairie dogs. Unlike most owls, burrowing owls are often active during the day, although they tend to avoid the midday heat. Like many other kinds of owls, though, burrowing owls do most of their hunting from dusk until dawn, when they can use their night vision and hearing to their advantage. Living in open grasslands as opposed to forests, the burrowing owl has developed longer legs that enable it to sprint, as well as fly, when hunting.
Burrowing owls have bright eyes; their beaks can be dark yellow or gray depending on the subspecies. They lack ear tufts and have a flattened facial disc. The owls have prominent white eyebrows and a white "chin" patch which they expand and display during certain behaviors, such as a bobbing of the head when agitated.

The Urban Fox
Wild foxes have learned to adapt to the urban environment in order to survive. By nature, foxes are nocturnal and hunt at night, whereas the urban fox has adapted its behavior to survive and can be seen during daylight hours.
Locally, a fox vixen has located her den in the foundational remains of a razed building complex along the boardwalk at the Jersey Shore. She has six Kits, which can be seen frolicking in the debris and along the dunes during the day. The fox family has become local celebrities and unfortunately people have begun feeding them. Never feed wild animals. Although you may feel as if you’re helping them survive, you are actually harming them. Feeding foxes can alter their natural behavior and they may lose its fear of humans.
“Wildlife that is fed by people become less experienced at forging for their natural food and may become dependent on handouts that are not a part of their natural diets. This is especially true in juvenile animals that have not yet developed their own foraging skills and have little ability to fend for themselves once handouts cease.” ~ Julie King, Senior Wildlife Biologist
Please Do Not Feed the Wildlife!
Red Fox
The Red Fox, Vulpes vulpes, is the largest of the true foxes and the most abundant wild member of the Carnivora, being present across the entire Northern Hemisphere from the Arctic Circle to North Africa, North America and Eurasia. It is listed as least concern by the IUCN. Its range has increased alongside human expansion, having been introduced to Australia, where it is considered harmful to native mammals and bird populations. Due to its presence in Australia, it is included among the list of the "world's 100 worst invasive species".

Am 14. August 2021 beförderten die 111 057 und 216 von smart rail einen Kesselwagenzug von Rüsselsheim nach Ingolstadt. Erstere trug zum Aufnahmezeitpunkt erst seit kurzem die eigenwillige Interpretation der früheren Farbgebung der Deutschen Bundesbahn für den TEE-Verkehr. Bei Treuchtlingen erwartete ich den aus dem Maintal vorgemeldeten Zug, der dank gebuchter Expresstrasse auch relativ bald meinen Standpunkt passierte.
On 14 August 2021, smart rail's 111 057 and 216 were hauling a tank car train from Rüsselsheim to Ingolstadt. At the time the photo was taken, the first one had only recently started to wear the quirky interpretation of the former colour scheme of the Deutsche Bundesbahn for TEE traffic. At Treuchtlingen, I awaited the train pre-announced from the Main valley, which also passed my position relatively soon thanks to the booked express lane.

This year, fall color arrived late on the Leelanau Peninsula, and there have been many overcast days. So, I was delighted when we got a sunny, blue sky day that included lots of fluffy white clouds!

This lavish historical house, Italianate in style and dating back to the mid-1700's, has been empty for decades. It was bought in 1975 by our township with the plan to use it for cultural events, but the money was never found to restore it. As the woods covers up the first floor and soon the second and third, its future seems bleak.

The Kiama Blowhole, the largest in the world, is a blowhole in the town of Kiama, New South Wales, Australia. The name ‘Kiama’ has long been translated as “where the sea makes a noise”. It is one of the town's major tourist attraction. Under certain sea conditions, the blowhole can spray 50 litres of water up to 25 metres in the air, in quantities that thoroughly drench any bystanders. There is a second, less famous blowhole in Kiama, commonly referred to as the Little Blowhole by locals. It is much smaller than the other (called the Big Blowhole), but due to its narrow shape, it is more reliable than the Big Blowhole, and in the right conditions can be equally spectacular. The blowhole attracts 900,000 tourists a year. Kiama Blowhole is just a few metres beyond the coastline. The little blowhole is located at the Little Blowhole Reserve, Tingira Crescent, Kiama, 2km south of the main blowhole. The blowhole was formed from basalt lava flows approximately 260 million years ago and was first discovered by local Aboriginals who named it 'Khanterinte'. The blowhole was first written about by George Bass on 6 December 1797. Bass had captained a crew of six and set out on an open whaleboat to explore the south coast of Australia. He noticed the blowhole after anchoring his boat in a sheltered bay. Water shoots out of the blowhole because of pressure that forms in an underground chamber. As water fills the chamber at the end of the tunnel, pressure builds. When waves subside, the pressure inside the chamber pushes water up through the blow hole. Ra_1
2020 ist Geschichte. Was gewesen ist - das ist gewesen. Es lässt sich nicht hinwegleugnen, nicht hinwegdiskutieren - nein - da hilft auch kein lamentieren.
Was gewesen ist - das ist gewesen.
Machen wir also ein Häckchen dran. Ein Häckchen hinter 2020. Lassen wir es ruhen - ohne jedoch die Erinnerungen an all das Gewesene zu begraben.
Am Ende des Jahres, quasi am Ende des Tunnels, da wird es aber nun doch auch wieder ein wenig hell. So wie das zarte Licht der Zuversicht und der Hoffnung, welches sich am Ende des Jahres in der Natur bereits erahnen lässt.
Ich hab es gestern Nachmittag für Euch eingefangen, sende es an dieser Stelle hinaus in die Welt, und sende Euch mit diesem zarten Licht meine allerbesten Wünsche für das Neue Jahr.
Bleibt zuversichtlich - und vor allem - achtet auf Euch - und bleibt gesund...

2020 is history. What has been - that has been. It cannot be denied or discussed - no - complaining does not help.
What has been - that has been.
So let's put a tick on it. A tick behind 2020. Let's let it rest - but without burying the memories of all that has been.
At the end of the year, so to speak at the end of the tunnel, it gets a little light again. Just like the gentle light of confidence and hope that can already be sensed in nature at the end of the year.
I caught it for you yesterday afternoon, I am sending it out into the world at this point, and with this tender light I send you my very best wishes for the New Year.
Stay confident - and most importantly - take care of yourself - and stay healthy ...
