Mendocino is a California town with great food and art. It sits on a rocky headland with a scenic trail. We liked to follow it around and then come back over a hill to the starting point. There are fine views of the coastal rocks and wave action as seen in this image taken on the north side. It is meditative to sit and watch the waves surge through them.
Bringing up the rear of an empty coal train, BNSF 9979 helps slow its train to a stop as they occupy the main at SSS Longs Peak. To my knowledge, no H2 SD70MACs are currently equipped with PTC. This in mind, it was a nice treat to find one working in coal service, fulfilling the same role they were built for over 25 years later.
As we took the ferry back from the zoo to Circular Quay we got a good look at Diamond Princess, which was anchored in Sydney Harbour.
Diamond Princess is a British-registered cruise ship owned and operated by Princess Cruises. She began operation in March 2004 and primarily cruises in Asia during the northern hemisphere summer and Australia during the southern hemisphere summer. She is a subclassed Grand-class ship, which is also known as a Gem-class ship. Diamond Princess and her sister ship, Sapphire Princess, are the widest subclass of Grand-class ships, as they have a 37.5-metre (123 ft 0 in) beam, while all other Grand-class ships have a beam of 36 metres (118 ft 1 in). Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess were both built in Nagasaki, Japan, by Mitsubishi Industries.

As Boxing day 2008 draws to a close a southbound train steams over Swithland Reservoir as the sun sinks into the horizon at the end of a beautiful winters day.
As the Welsh Highland Railway service passes under Snowdon (peak top left of picture) through Rhyd-Ddu, the NG/G16 130 locomotive, which was originally built in Manchester and worked in South Africa until 1985, creates a captivating spectacle. The lush green grass and the sturdy track blend seamlessly with the majestic mountain in the background, evoking a sense of timeless wonder and adventure. The train chugs along like a steadfast beast, forging its path through the picturesque landscape.

As promised, more of the ring-necked ducklings.
The 2-duckling version is my favorite, despite having the fewest ducklings in the capture, because they are not both going in the same direction. They finally became somewhat comfortable with my presence that they were not looking for an immediate escape route.
As I look out on the frozen lake with winds blowing the snow, I know that in only about nine weeks Spring will once again be here......:)

As I climb higher, the clouds descend and completely shroud the summit of Glas Tulaichean. Normally I would give this up and wait for a better day, but as we're soon moving away this is my last chance to gain the 10% of Munro's bagged.
Glas Tulaichean is my 5th Munro of the season and the 28th in total, bringing me to a Munro completion rate of near enough 10%. The mountain stands at 1051 meters (3448 feet) and is the last one I will do as I have now moved away from Scotland and back to my roots in South Yorkshire as the pull of the Grandchildren was just too strong.
As they catch the late afternoon light, the Wings seem to soar on the wind and blowing sand that cut through the Bisti Badlands of New Mexico.
Gorgeous new Belleza applier has me out of hiding. Plus - I needed a distraction.
You can find the applier at the main store & this fucking fantastic liner is over at Summerfest.
...But all's been said and done
Will we ever really close this case?
Yeah, I will always be here for you, but I could no longer stay
Still my body goes in shock every time I hear your name
I struggle
I juggle
I could just throw a line to you
But I should let sleeping dogs lie 'cause I know better, baby
I write it
Erase it
Repeat it
But what good will it do
To reopen the wound
So I take a deep breath
And I save as draft
I've heard you've done some changing
I've been rearranging
Wish that I could know, but I just don't know
Never get that time back
Fear we'd fall in old traps
Why can't we just let go
Staring at a fork in the fucking road...

As you all know by now that South Texas is in a heat wave, with tempertures soaring over 100 degrees for the past 3 weeks now. I captured the moment of the clear outline of sun just before it sunk below the horizon. Hope Y'all like it, my friends. Lol.

Just back from a few days visiting family in Birmingham, England. The whole of the city centre in Birmingham has been dug up in order for tram lines to be laid, so it was nice to escape from all the noise and chaos and take a walk along the canal. Image taken on my phone so a bit grainy!!
As was driving home stood in a patch of sunlight between two monster storms. The now you see it now you don't rainbow in particular caught my attention
Sirince as a former Greek village. In the 19th century, the famous fig production, was one Greek town. Population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923 with the departure of the results of the Greeks, were settled by emigrants from Kavalav to Somokol village. The famous wine-producing village.

Say hi to me to Anatolia.
He describes the lands where he was born and grew up with the words "If there is a place called paradise on this earth, our Kirkinca (Sirince) must be a part of that paradise".
Raining like Cats and Dogs!
I just love these cool Street Artists.

Matthew the Apostle, also known as Saint Matthew and possibly as Levi, was, according to the New Testament, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. According to Christian traditions, he was also one of the four Evangelists as author of the Gospel of Matthew, and thus is also known as Matthew the Evangelist, a claim rejected by most biblical scholars, though the "traditional authorship still has its defenders."
Kytaiv Desert or Holy Trinity Kytaiv Desert - Orthodox headhunting monastery. It is located on the southern outskirts of Kyiv, in the tract of Kytaiv.
See the general view of the monastery:
Китаївська Пустинь, Свято-Троїцька Китаєва пустинь – православний чололовічий монастир. Розташований на південній околиці Києва, в урочищі Китаї.
Виник, за легендою церковноі традиції, на місці скиту ченців Києво-Печерської лаври у 16 або 17 ст., за даними писемних джерел, 1716 – тобто тоді, коли в Китаєві було споруджено (на кошти князя Дмитра Голіцина) дерев'яну церкву в ім'я преподобного Сергія Радонезького (пізніше її замінено мурованою Свято-Троїцькою церквою з бічними вівтарями на честь преподобних Сергія Радонезького та Димитрія Ростовського.; будівництвом керував Степан Ковнір; освячена 1767).
As I cycle further up Glen Lochsie before making the real climb to the summit of Glas Tulaichean, this small burn (or stream) tumbles its way through the heather. But time is ticking and in these winter months daylight hours are limited so let's push on.
Glas Tulaichean is my 5th Munro of the season and the 28th in total, bringing me to a Munro completion rate of near enough 10%. The mountain stands at 1051 meters (3448 feet) and is the last one I will do as I have now moved away from Scotland and back to my roots in South Yorkshire as the pull of the Grandchildren was just too strong.
enjoy your weekend y'all !

As there was a decent weather forecast, I decided to take an early morning two hour drive to the Lake District. I spent a fruitless morning and early afternoon between Ashness Bridge and Derwent Water. I decided to call in at Blea Tarn on the way home to see if I could catch some last rays of sun on The Langdales.
This is a blend of nine images, using bracketing and focus stacking. Composition could be better, I should have got lower to reduce the gap between the foreground rocks and the background.
May I take this opportunity to wish all my Flickr friends a happy and healthy 2022 and of course some decent light!
