The spoil tip 'Bergehalde Adolf' is located in Herzogenrath-Merkstein (Germany), not far from the border to the Netherlands.
Coal mining was active there from 1913 until 1972 and the deepest point was 860 meters under the surface.
This picture was taken standing in Kerkrade (the Netherlands) shortly after a rainshower.
Taken with a M42 lens - Jupiter 21M 4/200 as panorama and stitched afterwards.
L’moindr’ de tes baisers,
A un goût sucré,
Mais quel est donc ton secret ?
Quand j’t’embrass’, j’me sens tout chos’ !
Oh ! Ma petit’ Ros’ !
Ta peau, quel’ merveill’,
A un parfum d’ miel,
Qui rend foll’ tout’ les abeill’ !
Dans tes bras, j’me sens tout chos’ !
Oh ! Ma petit’ Ros’ !
A toi tout’ seul’,
T’es un’ vraie confiserie !
Oui ! Mais, moi seul,
Jouis de tes gâteries !
Tu es la seul’ fill’
Au goût de vanill’,
Et tout cela m’émoustill’ !
Quand j’te croqu’, c’est l’overdos’ !
Oh ! Ma petit’ Ros’ !

Nikon D610 - Jupiter-21M – 200mm f/4
La Gran Esfinge de Gizeh, efigie del faraón Kefrén, cuya tumba se yergue al fondo, es un gigantesco león de rostro humano tallado en la roca. Tiene 21m de altura y 73m de largo. El monumento fue restaurado y descombrado de la arena que lo recubría en muchas ocasiones. La más famosa fue la de Tutmosis IV, a quien descansando a la sombra del coloso, se le apareció en sueños el dios de la Esfinge, Harmachis (“Horus del horizonte “) incitándole a emprender su restauración, como recuerda la estela entre las zarpas del león. En 1926 se realizaron los últimos trabajos de despeje. Se cree que el rostro desfigurado se debe a que los mamelucos ejercitaban su puntería tirándole balas de cañón. El rostro tiene 5m de altura y lo que queda de nariz casi 2m. La perilla postiza, que le colocara Tutmosis IV, se conserva en el Museo de El Cairo.
La verdad es que he disfrutado tanto este viaje que es por eso que quiero compartirlo con vosotros. Sobre todo porque hoy en día existen muchas limitaciones para poder hacer un viaje de este tipo, ya me entendéis.
Muchas gracias por vuestros comentarios y visitas. Thank you for your visit and comments.
Je vous remercie de votre visite et commentaires.

Fotografia realitzada amb un objectiu sovietic VOMZ Jupiter-21M f4/200mm, fabricat a la URSS el 1982, emprant un adaptador M42 per a la meva Nikon Z6ii.
El dia 20 de febrer de 2026, fou un dia històric per Barcelona, Catalunya, i l'arquitectura.Fou quan es va coronar la Torre de Jesus de la Sagrada Família amb el seu braç superior. Ara ja han desmontat la bastida parcialment i la creu llueix perfectament.
Des del 30 d'octubre de 2025, la Sagrada Família és l'església més alta del món, superant la catedral d'Ulm, que ho era des del 1890!

==================================
Picture taken with a Soviet VOMZ Jupiter-21M f4/200mm lens, made in Vologda in 1982; I used a M42 adapter to use it with my Nikon Z6ii.
February 20th, 2026, was a historic day for Barcelona, Catalonia, and architecture. This day the Torre de Jesus in La Sagrada Família was crowned with its upper arm. Now the scaffolding is mostly gone and the cross shines in all it's magnificence.
Since October 30th, la Sagrada Família is the highest church in the World, taking the title from the Ulm Cathedral, that was so since 1890.
21M heads west through Marysville with a UP power adding a splash of colors to compliment the quickly fading fall colors. At this point the 21M was still predominantly a TOFC train and added a nice diversion from the sea of container trains in either direction on the Pittsburgh Line.

Norfolk Southern TOFC train 21M glides downgrade on the Pittsburgh Line's West Slope as it passes under the Jamestown Road bridge in Portage, Pennsylvania. This bridge featured a unique set of PRR position light signals mounted to the road bridge rather than traditional wayside masts or signal bridges.

21M snakes its way off the "by-pass" around Allentown Yard and onto Main 1 of the Reading Line at BURN interlocking, named for nearby Auburn Street. In what has long been directional 251 territory, new signals are coming online soon to facilitate bidirectional running on this stretch between Burn and Blandon. While the efficiency gains for NS are evident, it'll be a shame to lose the old Reading searchlights that have governed this line for decades.
Both NS H76 and 21M are left-hand running today as they pass each other at the site of Bethlehem Steel. Until recently, the Lehigh Line was directional territory, and such a scene would not have been possible without track authority forms. Bidirectional running allows 21M to continue moving west around H76 where they would have otherwise blocked the entire interlocking at Bethlehem to cross over under the old configuration. Careful observers will note that 21M has an SD80MAC leading on this day - such things tend to happen when you are set up at a location where only a going-away view is possible.
Bleu de chauffe flottant et béret sur l'oreille,
Sans cesse il pédalait, gardant les yeux mi-clos,
Malgré le vent, la pluie, la neige ou le soleil.
Tout en lui gémissait, y compris le vélo...
Un jour, n’y tenant plus, je l’arrête et lui dis :
« Vous êtes donc le roi de la petite reine ! »
« Ne vous méprenez pas, le bon dieu m’a maudit !
Je hais rester chez moi, ma femme est une hyène... »

NS 21M rolls through Cleveland, Ohio just before sundown with the 8104 doing the honors as the find a hole in the trees to let some sun in.
is England’s biggest waterfall, spectacularly drops 70 feet (21m) into a plunge pool below.
From its rise as a trickle, high on the heather covered fells at the top of the North Pennines, to the top of the whin sill rock at Forest -in-Teesdale, the River Tees steadily grows and gathers pace.
Please enjoy the scenic details in Large. Thank you so much for your visit!
The aptly named "Glow Worm" aka the Illinois Terminal heritage unit, aka NS 1072 made a quick back and forth across Pennsylvania last week.
This was the westbound return trip on intermodal train 21M as they pass the Conrail tri-light signals at milepost 128 on the NS Pittsburgh Line.
The weather has been bitter cold lately, as the snow and ice on the front of the SD70ACe certainly confirms.
After a brief pause at CP Harrisburg to allow light power to clear, train 21M and it's Virginian heritage leader throttle up and head for the fuel pad for a quick fuel and re-crew before continuing west.
Variegated Poinsettia
This is a close-up of the most popular potted plant in the US. Approximately $21m USD of poinsettias are sold around Christmas annually.
If you zoom in, you can see the flower, which is the tiny green spherical object at the very center that to me looks like a tiny upside down bell pepper. The colorful portions aren’t flowers; they are bracts (leaves).
This is another plant, indigenous to Mexico and Central America, which brings us a splash of color during the dark Pacific Northwest Fall and Winter. The Aztecs in the 14th century used this plant for warrior rituals & dyes, plus used the latex sap to treat wounds & to help break fevers.
The colors of the bracts are created through longer periods of darkness - at least 14 hours at a time for 6–8 weeks in a row. They require abundant light during the day to get the brightest colors.
We’ve kept this 1 alive and thriving for about 5 years; they can live as long as 20 years. The key: avoid over-watering. The “cover with a bag” advice isn’t something that we do.
Poinsettia 938
On a rainy St. Patrick's Day, NS Dash-9 9854 is about to duck under East Main Street in Womelsdorf, PA as it leads 21M westbound on the Harrisburg Line.

A crusty DC GEVO is on the point of westbound intermodal 21M as it heads out of downtown Altoona. The 3 GEs will have their work cut out for them as they begin the climb up the Alleghenies.
This image is 2-panel mosaic of NGC 3372 (Eta Carinae nebula), one of the brightest and largest DSOs in the night sky.
The image is the result of a 2-panel mosaic in SHO. Aiming at a 9-panel mosaic to cover the entire nebula...hoping my computer's graphics card can handle it 😅. A total of 14hr integration time so far.
