The Soviet War Memorial (German: Sowjetisches Kriegerdenkmal) is a war memorial and military cemetery in Berlin's Treptower Park. It was built to the design of the Soviet architect Yakov Belopolsky to commemorate 7,000 of the 80,000 Red Army soldiers who fell in the Battle of Berlin in April–May 1945. It opened four years after the end of World War II in Europe, on May 8, 1949. The Memorial served as the central war memorial of East Germany.
The monument is one of three Soviet memorials built in Berlin after the end of the war. The other two memorials are the Tiergarten memorial, built in 1945 in the Tiergarten district of what later became West Berlin, and the Schönholzer Heide Memorial in Berlin's Pankow district.
Together with the Rear-front Memorial in Magnitogorsk and The Motherland Calls in Volgograd, the monument is a part of a triptych.
穗高岳位於日本，是日本百名山的其中之一，海拔3,190公尺，是飛驒山脈的最高峰，也是日本第三高峰。奧穂高岳，涸澤岳，北穂高岳，前穂高岳，西穂高岳這些山峰合起來稱爲穂高連峰。除了前穂高岳以外主要都在長野縣松本市和岐阜縣高山市的交界上。主峰是奧穂高岳，是長野縣（信州）和岐阜縣（飛騨）的最高峰。也被稱爲「北阿爾卑斯的盟主」。
Winter rains have dressed the Tehachapi foothills in their spring best as a westbound BNSF grain train eases through the curves between Allard (Bealville) and Tunnel 1.
Somewhat out of sort for BNSF in So Cal, this grain train has drawn solid ACes for its headend consist: BNSF 8753-FXE 4022-BNSF 9296.
Not to worry...the 4 GE cut-ins 'swing' the power balance back in GEs favor ;}

Like Dobbs Ferry two miles to the south, Irvington features a historic surving depot converted into a lovely coffee shop and the gorgeous Scenic Hudson Park south of the station affording a commanding view of the river, the railroad, and the city skyline 20 miles to the south.
The railroad here is a bit more cluttered with the vintage NYC era pole line standing between the railroad and the river with all its attendant wires making photography a bit more challenging. However, that is a worthwhile tradeoff because the classic steel 'erector set' style poles are historically significant and interesting in their own right.
Only two minutes passed before it was time for the next train as Metro North train 8753 curls around the corner on Main 3 of the four track Hudson Line main slowing for its station stop ahead. This is a 6:50 PM out of Grand Central Terminal making a slow 1 hr 6 minute scheduled trip to Croton-Harmon. The train consists of an eight car set (four married pairs) of Bombardier built M7As of which MNCW rosters 336, the oldest of which entered service in 2004. MTA sister Long Island Railroad rosters an additional 828 similar M7 series cars, as well, all of which operate via 750V DC third rail power. In addition to this equipment, 40 yr old Budd built M3As continue to ply this line adding to the variety.
This is about MP 22.5 as measured from Grand Central Terminal on modern day Metro North's Hudson Line, the former New York Central Railroad water level route which traces its history here back to 1849. In 1913 the NYC installed third rail electrification through here as far as Harmon, 33 miles north, a system that remains to this day.
Today this route is astonishingly busy with over 150 MNCW trains passing this point on weekdays with electric MUs operating as far as Croton-Harmon and diesel powered trains to Poughkeepsie, 73 miles north. In addition another 22 Amtrak trains pass to and from points as far flung as Burlington, VT, Montreal and Toronto in Canada, and Chicago. Lastly rounding out the parade is a nightly CSXT road freight between Selkirk Yard near Albany and Oak Point Yard in the Bronx.

On darksome pools o' stwoneless Stour
An extract from The Water Crowvoot by William Barnes (1847).
A different edit of pictures taken from along the course of the Stour. Mostly from ten, or so, years ago. Distance of time gives a different perspective.
