As deep shadow creeps across the face of Steamboat Rock, Union Pacific's ZDVSC 02 UPS train glides west through Echo Canyon the afternoon of Oct. 2, 2021.
El origen del Campo das Hortas se sitúa en el medievo, con la construcción de la muralla de Santiago. Una de sus siete puertas, la Porta da Trinidade, se encontraba muy cerca de la zona, en la calle Carretas.
Por esa puerta, que servía como punto de inicio del Camino de Santiago a Fisterra, también llegaban la mayor parte de productos hortícolas a la ciudad, lo que le valió el sobrenombre de Porta dos Carros.
La Rúa das Hortas también recibe su nombre de aquella época, en la que atravesaba dos grandes agrupaciones de parcelas dedicadas al cultivo.
El desarrollo urbano de Santiago a lo largo de los próximos siglos no afectó a los usos de uno de esos espacios, situado tras la Igrexa de San Fructuoso: el Campo das Hortas.
As if to say... are you here again!

Broad verges backed by banks,
Of mature Oak and Beech,
Race down Warwickshire,
Through the verdure of the country,
Stratford upon Avon and Shakespear,
The breathtaking castles of Kenilworth and Warwick,
Or and hour, quiet and peaceful, at the Bancroft Basin,
Live forever as the Chesterton Windmill turns the time.
As a start to my new series, can you guess where I travelled? If you have been to this city, the remarkable long approach to the marketplace will let you recognize it immediately.

As much as I shot the standard cabs on the former DM&IR property, I really don't have much of the -8 era on the Iron Range Sub, simply because it happened after I left. It's simply not worth the hassle on vacation when every train has 45 people after it. Was much more enjoyable to just run into the locals once in awhile. Guess I'm just an old man now. ETTS! GE trio rips through Aurora on a gorgeous fall day.
As I've mentioned before on some of my other photographs of Cork, the River Lee can yield some amazing reflections. Here is another image captured on a "wind-calm" day in downtown Cork.
As we walked along the beach we noticed the skimmers were getting a little nervous as other people walked nearer to them. They would takeoff and circle around, re-settling a little further up the beach. They did this several times as we observed them, making some great opportunities for in flight shot as they made another pass.
Have a great, blessed and safe weekend!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

As Fall slowly approaches, the battlefield at Blakeley will offer plenty of butterfly moments...the Blazing Star wildflowers will bring them in...for now, they're settling for other blooms...
As we walk through Rattlesnake Canyon in Arizona, we twist and turn our bodies to accommodate the ever changing walls.

Mikado, also known as pick-up-sticks or jackstraws, is a game of skill of European origin that, at least according to (German) Wikipedia, was already played in ancient Rome. It is named after the highest scoring stick (blue), the "Mikado", which refers to the Japanese emperor.
This is a slightly different, new type of Mikado, and its rules are simple: clear the game board without tossing the burning candle over or lighting the "active" playing candles in the process, and do it before the red candle burns down (which happens quite fast with these thin candles).
Initially, I wanted to build a much larger Mikado pile with more candles, but they kept rolling away, so I focused on creating a nice-looking pile instead.
Size info: Each candle (except the lit red one, which I cut in half) is 6 cm/2,36 inches long, so together with the negative space (I also slightly cropped the image), the width is about 2,75 inches.
HMM, Everyone!
As the days draw in earlier the Northbound train chase routine becomes more difficult. Here train 32 opens up the post Easter exodus ex Brighton behind TR units 01 + 06. As the train was approaching the shadows from the hillside behind were racing towards the train and when it got there there was hardly any light left so I used a monochrome rendition to rescue what I could as there were huge areas of shadows. Despite the borderline result I was quite happy with the lighting effect despite trying to not pay too much attention to the grain extracted from the shadowy areas !.

this is a picture i took last spring in my mum's garden! i love her garden in spring, it's always full of beautiful flowers; i know this picture isn't spectacular, but sometimes simple is just as beautiful!
As most people know Jonathan myself and our dogs should have been camping about four miles from here right now and i imagine yesterday the weather condition about the same as in this shot...No crowds then possibly not even now as Cornwall not open yet to tourism..
We have re booked for next year-Here hoping....

Porthkidney Sands stretch from the mouth of the River Hayle in Lelant to Hawk’s Point in Carbis Bay. The beach is around a mile long and at low tide the sea goes out a long way leaving a vast expanse of usually almost deserted sand. The fact that one can barely discern the river mouth from beach level gives the impression the beach goes on practically to infinity! The beach is many visitor’s first glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean as they round the corner on the St Ives branch train. The track runs along the length of the beach as it climbs up to Carbis Bay. The beach is overlooked by one of the areas top golf clubs too; the West Cornwall Golf Club.

I watched as a young boy played on this precarious perch. He walked the log as his mother prodded him along. "How does she not see the danger", I kept thinking. This could turn into an awful situation.
A few minutes later, after the boy got wet, but remained unscathed, they left. Then I figured it was time to go back to the image I had in mind, and capture the action of the waves. Glad for the outcome, or lack there of, this is the shot I had envisioned, in place of what almost occurred.
As every September, a small group of hedgehogs is coming to our garden to find some food. This time, I took the opportunity to make captures. Which is a real challenge due to lowlight conditions. Thanks to modern AI based denoise technologies, the results are quite nice, though.
Transients come and go as they please into this old senior trailer park I live in. They steal anything in our tiny spaces and porches-, spit in the Main Street as well as our tiny properties. The slum lords refuse to put cameras up or a gate up. Cops never come so we are on our own. This dirty higher than a kite guy made me want to follow to see where the source of the drugs is coming from in the park. Just because it’s old people doesn’t mean it’s not criminal old people selling from their trailer. Because they are. Because I was already in my car ready to run errands and he came in off the busy main street outside the park . I thought it was perfect timing to follow him, but I stayed way back because he had very. Bad energy, the kind that would get violent if he is triggered. I followed a few streets staying back and at the last street he turned left so I slowed then went we he turned . and he had completely disappeared like a ghost. I was so disappointed. I wanted to solve the mystery of who was letting these addicts in. It was a recon fail. Maybe I will get another chance and will be armed with a camera and zoom lens instead of my phone camera. Life ain’t boring not for me anyways . 😂 ( ps the picture taken with an older iPhone just after a storm ⛈️ the cloud odd shape straight across sky is real the pink sky compliments of light room) :)

As its still Ferrari Friday, here is a shot from the assembly road at Goodwood of chassis 2129GT, a Ferrari 250 GT SWB/C sold to Garage Francorchamps for Willy Mairess to race in 1960.
This car took the victory at the Tour de France on its maiden race, driven by Willy Mairesse and Georges Berger, under number 157. It then took second at the 1000km Paris with Wolfgang von Trips partnering Willy Mairesse.
In 1967, under the ownership of Bill Lake, the car had sliding windows fitted rather than the factory vent windows.
In 2001 Adrian Beecroft took ownership, and the car was fitted with registration "SSL 899".

I really did take pictures of other girls! haha...as usual, I took TOO many pictures!

As the sun begins to set, colors slowly seep into the clouds above Heritage Park. A life-size museum reflecting times 100 years ago, the park's oil derrick points toward the sky marking the end of another day.
Known as the Gateshead Glasshouse International Centre for Music and called the "Glasshouse" or the Glass Bubble Building by the Geordies.
Some information:-
The construction of this architectural staple of the Quayside marked a time of resurgence and change for the arts in Newcastle and Gateshead and the site of this giant glass, multi-domed building was once home to a rope and wire factory.
Now this elegantly construction of Foster and Partners-designed building has 630 panes of glass and was constructed in 1997 to revitalise Gateshead, by building a state-of-the-art concert venue in the unused industrial area.
And also, the building itself is made of specially constructed concrete that has extra air bubbles designed to improve both acoustics and sound proofing.
It's a great pity for me, it was not a really good day, with the weather when I composed and framed this capture, from over the River Tyne and was the only way for me to be able to fit and get into all in full frame! Because it is an enormous gigantic building that stands truly well out and is an eye-catching one too!
Many thanks for your very kind comments and compliments from you here, my good flickr friends !!!
As the work week winds down, the weekend sneaks in with a solemn and serene glide into some quiet moments for myself. I take a deep breath and welcome it.
As the sunset approaches over a farm and the marsh behind it, the silhouette of a pole barn is seen in a small woodlot of oaks and willows.
