in March 8th, we commemorate the International Women's Day, in order to emphasize women's rights in the World.
Sadly, it seems that at least that in my country, Mexico, being a woman is now a dangerous entity. If a woman goes out at night with a man who has coronavirus, she has more risk of being abused than contract the coronavirus disease.
10 Women are killed every day in my Country, which is one of the saddest statistics ever written.
But which is more sad is that our "left-wing government" and our "progressist president" has shown its more rancid conservative shade and has turned its face away from the feminist movement. They have look down and underestimate the high rate of feminicide and female abuse, so now women have organized and have shown high power, and tomorrow, March 9th they have planned A National Female Strike
No woman on the streets
No woman at work
No girls at schools
No woman at universities
No woman shopping
The ninth no-one moves
#onedaywithoutus

And now the Mexican government have fear.
"(...) And nothing feels the same
Tonight
But something had to change
I'm not just someone else's girl
I am a woman of the world
I'm soaring, flying, riding high and free
And nothing's gonna get to me
I am a woman of the world
I'm living life like it was meant to be
And nothing's gonna get to me"

This means I've been a married woman for 5 years... it doesn't even feel like it's been that long! It's been a glorious adventure, to say the least...
Yes, although we went to Nashville as the main means to celebrate our anniversary, we still wanted to enjoy the evening with a nice dinner to mark the occasion... and of course we had to take some romantic couple photos too, or the day wouldn't be complete right?
CP 2224 and 2211 move down to the switch at the east (south) end of the Thief River Falls yard while moving around CPKC 241 that is occupying the mainline. The four hoppers look like the type for Thunderbird Commodities in Mahnomen. This power set just returned from a round trip to Lake Bronson to drop off gondolas for collecting used ties. They are now on their way out of Thief River Falls for local service.

Nottingham Suspension Bridge, Victoria Embankment, 8th October 2018. Interestingly the bridge was built primarily to carry a water main linking Nottingham with Wilford Hill reservoir over the River Trent and is currently owned by Severn Trent Water. The bridge was opened in 1906 and was refurbished between 2008 and 2010 at a cost of £1.9M. Along with the major water main the bridge also carries two major gas mains. It is a Grade II listed building.
A heard of Highland cows in a snow covered field by a frozen Loch Meiklie in the Highlands of Scotland.
In between rushing around for this and that I managed to walk past the barn and spot a fine assembly of sheep, most of whom were camera shy.

On a grey January morning East Midlands Railways 43049 heads north from Market Harborough working 1D13, 08:34 St Pancras - Nottingham, 8th January 2020.
A scene that has changed considerably from when I last stood here just over forty years ago (see first comment)
Locomotive History
43049 was built in 1977 at Crewe works as part of HST set 253024 for Western Region London – Bristol/South Wales services. 253024 was one of five Western Region HST sets transferred to Midland Main Line duties in 1982 and 43049 has been pounding up and down to London St Pancras from the East Midlands and South Yorkshire for the last thirty eight years. 43049 has been fitted with a Paxman VP185 engine in lieu of its original Paxman Valenta.

Contrasting liveries on 68029 Destroyer and 68018 Vigilant as they skirt Colwyn Bay working 6K41,14.58 Valley Nuclear Electric - Crewe Coal Sidings nuclear flasks, 8th November 2017.
Even with today’s modern technology you can still make a mess of things. I was out with my long term mate of nearly forty years Mr David Hayes and had been tracking 6K41, being fully aware it was running nearly an hour early. However after 1H90, 14:40 Llandudno – Manchester had passed I decided on a change of lens so thinking I had plenty of time I made my way from my vantage point half way down a bank back to the car. However 6K41 “on the block” and was right behind 1H90, appearing in the distance only three minutes after 1H90 had passed and I was still changing lenses. After a mad scramble I just got back in time to the spot I had picked to photograph 6K91, but it was a very close run thing.
Today we were out photographing a rather special property in Sheildaig... it needs a little work... but with a setting like this it really is quite something! It even comes with a spare church, built in 1877 and used... once.
A view across part of Attenborough nature reserve with Ratcliffe on Soar Power Station on the horizon, 8th March 2024.
In 1929 large-scale commercial gravel extraction began around Attenborough and would continue for the next ninety years. The extraction formed deep lagoons and as the extraction moved away from the works the gravel was transported by barge through the ever-expanding network of lagoons. In 1965, an application from the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) looked to fill the lagoons with ash from Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station. However, by this time, the pits were already well-known for their wildlife interest and extensively used by local fishermen and birdwatchers, with records starting around 1948. Due to the strength of local feeling the CEGB withdrew their application and the ash was taken to Fletton, Peterborough. Discussions then began with the site’s then owners, Trent Gravels Ltd, about the future for the lagoons and it was agreed to develop the site as a nature reserve in parallel with continued gravel extraction. The opening ceremony as a nature reserve was in 1966 and was performed by David Attenborough. Gravel extraction has now finished, and the works have been demolished, whilst the nature reserve now welcomes around 500,000 visitors per year and is regarded as one of the best sites in the UK to see kingfishers.
Ratcliffe on Soar 2116MW power station was built in the mid-1960s and opened in 1968 and is one of the biggest coal fired power stations built in the country. In 1981, the station was burning 5.5 million tonnes of coal a year, consuming 65% of the output of the south Nottinghamshire coalfield. Emissions of sulphur dioxide, which caused acid rain, were greatly reduced in 1993 when a flue gas desulphurisation system using a wet limestone-gypsum process became operational on the four boilers. Emissions of nitrogen oxides which also cause damage to the ozone layer, were reduced in 2004 when Ratcliffe became the first in the United Kingdom to be fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. One of the last coal fired power stations still in use it is due to close in 2025.

Walking down the block after work last night I snapped this one up right before I hoped in the cab ride home. Taken outside of Madison Square Garden on the 8th Ave. side... I like how this one came out, tell me what you think?

Dipping into my photo archives in past weeks I found this shot in the Pornic file. Until I became used to it, the naming of places after important dates did seem a particularly French custom. This date resonates with me and brings to mind the concluding pages of my father's diaries.
In the early hours of 8th May 1945, my father was in a column of prisoners being marched away from the PoW camps. They had reached the German-Czech border, after a 'stopover' in a tin mine at Zinnwald. My dad saw the guards shine their torches down and feared they would have no option but to sleep on the wet ground. He suggested to his pals that they leave the column.... Which they did. Unnoticed.
There followed a time of living on their wits for food and shelter, plus a few adventures, until they met three American ex-PoWs, who had found a 15 cwt truck. My dad and his mates hitched a lift to Pilsen where they were officially registered as recovered allied PoWs by the Third US Army.
There followed a flight to Reims in France and thence onward to England where my dad finally arrived home to his wife at 4.30 p.m. in the little village of Claydon, Suffolk on 25th May 1945.
I was born the following year - nearly a Christmas baby. A new little family; a different life.
As my Flickr friends who have read the story know, the help of a fellow member of a local U3A Photography Group has been invaluable to me in publishing, in paperback and kindle format, my father's diary account of his WW2 service, captured at Tobruk, subsequently as a PoW in N. Africa, Italy and Germany:

My royalties are donated to the Red Cross, without whose food parcels sent to the PoW camps, my father felt that 'a lot of us wouldn't have come back'.
