Die mittlerweile für die MEG im Einsatz stehende 145 012 brachte am 30. Juli 2017 einen Militärzug nach Hof Hbf.
Ab Hof übernahm eine Lok der Baureihe 232/233, die den Zug bis nach Weiden (Oberpfalz) bringen wird.
Ziel des Zuges war Grafenwöhr.
I took a few animal shots in this pose, which I found useful to get a sense for how long their bodies are.

The elegant village of Semur, listed as Un des plus beaux villages de France (“One of the Most Beautiful Villages in France”), although I am not at all sure it deserves the title when compared to truly stunning villages such as Èze, Pérouges or Collonges-la-Rouge, is the capital of the small barony of Brionnais, at the extreme southwestern tip of the old duchy of Burgundy.
The Semur family of local barons would have gone basically unnoticed through History, had it not been for Hugues, born in 1024, who went on to become probably the most famous abbot of Cluny, having succeeded Odilon de Mercœur from 1049 until 1109. Builder of the so-called “Cluny III” abbey church, the largest ever in Christendom, he considerably expanded the Order of Cluny (which was part of the Benedictines) all over Europe during his 60-year abbacy.
One of the most powerful people (and one of the most learned minds) of his time, later canonized by the Church as saint Hugues (Hugh in English), he sent architects and builders from Cluny to his native small town of Semur-en-Brionnais to build this church dedicated to Saint Hilaire (Hillary in English). Hugues himself never saw the church being built, as its oldest parts (traditionally, the apse and apsidioles, the choir and transept, and the beginning of the nave) were erected during the years 1115-1130, but then construction was interrupted and did not resume until around 1170. The portals were finished and decorated during the 1180s, towards the end of the Romanesque age, at a point when many consider the Romanesque art was already “perverted” by mannerisms announcing the age of the Gothic.
Saint-Hilaire was turned into a college church in 1274 when Baron Jean de Semur and the bishop of Autun jointly incorporated a college of 13 canons to take care of the Opus Dei in the church. Damaged during the Hundred Years War (1364), and yet again during the Wars of Religion (1576), the church was listed as a Historic Landmark in 1862 and the stone vaulting which had been destroyed and replaced temporarily by a timber roof, was rebuilt.
Being the last Romanesque church ever built in the Brionnais, Saint-Hilaire skillfully incorporates tradition from the local art, and inputs from the most noble and powerful house of Cluny, which was then undoubtedly the dominant power in Western Christendom, above and beyond the Pope —in practice, if not in principle.
The very nice light in the choir.

Sonntag Vormittagstour von München zum Ammersee mit der obligatorischen Rast bei den Skulpturen am Kloster Andechs
Auch wenn es so aussieht, wie als würde sich hier in Rüdesheim zwei TRAXX kreuzen, handelt es sich bei der rechten Lok tatsächlich um eine BR 152, welche zur Eurosprinter-Familie von Siemens gehört. In Rüdesheim ist mich auch aufgefallen, dass zumindest an diesem Tag versucht wurde, dass sich Züge immer im Ort kreuzen. Der Sinn dahinter ist wahrscheinlich, dass so die BÜs nur möglichst kurz geschlossen sein müssen.
