Marsh Warbler (Acrocephalus palustris) flight_7848
The Marsh Warbler is a medium-sized brown warbler, very similar to Eurasian Reed-Warbler.
Best differentiated by the song, which is delightful, distinctive, loud, and full of mimicry of European and African birds.
The call is a nasal, short "chek" or "tret." Longer wings than Eurasian Reed-Warbler, with distinctive pale tips to wing feathers. Bill rather short; legs pale and less warm-toned than Eurasian Reed-Warbler.
Breeds in thick herbaceous vegetation in marshy areas and along ditches, not usually in the middle of wet reed beds.
Can be found in drier habitats during the non-breeding season.
One of the most beautiful tour skiing goals of the South Bohinj Range has quite poor conditions for skiing on out visit, but the whole tour was still a big fun.
Electric Peak, that is, in Yellowstone National Park.
It's a long way down from where this was shot.
The Electric Peak summit spur trail begins in Wyoming. The actual summit (~11,000') is in Montana.
A magnificent side trip and an enjoyable "rest" day (e.g. without carrying our full backpacking loads) during our August/September 2016 backpacking trip to Yellowstone and the nearby Beartooth Plateau.

Thank you for visiting!
Taken in the ruins of Hardwick Old Hall... the lighting on the stairs, the subject, and the black and white conversion makes this Film Noir capture of my daughter walking up the stairs just a little creepy :-)
Beautiful old palace.

Heritage Three, Two ,and One are all present on Cajon Pass with BNSF 7346 in charge of interchange traffic for the CSX at Birmingham, Alabama. The train is pulling hard up one of the steepest sections of rail on Cajon's North Track as the train digs out of Cajon Station and starts it's lean into Sullivan's Curve. The observant eye can also see white double stacks belonging to the high priority Willow Springs, IL to San Bernardino Z-train as they finish the decent from the much steeper South Track.

V47, with motorcar DJM8131 in the lead, heads up the 1 in 80 gradient between Mount Victoria and Blackheath known as "Soliders Bank", along the edge of the Megalong Valley with NSW TrainLink Intercity service W576 from Mount Victoria to Sydney's Central Station.
There were 8 different orders of the V Set electric multiple-unit trains from 1968 to 1988, with the first four for camshaft resistance control and the final four for GTO–4-quadrant chopper control. The lead motor car was part of the 7th order in 1987 as well as the accompanying trailer car. However, the second trailer car and rear motor car were from the 4th and 5th orders in 1982 with slight differences, albeit the entire consist is a consistent "chopper".
In the foreground was the site of a large landslide that was 40 metres long, 20m wide and 60m deep following torrential rain in early-July 2023. The line was closed for approximately a month to allow for the repair, with 40,000 tonnes of rock brought into the site to rebuild the cliff face.
Thanks to the landslide, it has opened up this gap in the line without trees, holding sunlight until it sets.

This one's better: VIEWED LARGE
Fun around Landmannalaugar. I wanted something to really put the scope of that entire place in perspective.
Even though the car pictured is absolutely gigantic, it really does pale in comparison to the majestic landscape all around.
Let me know what you think.
It was all shrouded in clouds when we ascended Forcella Arvenis, north of the summit. But we still climbed on top and weather was OK. This is on the descent when it even became better.
moving up.
feeling lighter.
the more i let go,
the higher i fly.

That staircase at the Tate Modern is pretty awesome and I popped in for some pictures on Monday. Whilst it was chucking it down with rain outside I found sanctuary in the gallery.
I decided this shot really needed the human element so I took around 15 shots here waiting for models to come and walk up and down the stairway. As this guy ran up the stairs, I took my shot, making him look like he was barely even touching the stairs.
Why was I shooting the staircase - a man came over to ask me. Well, where do I begin.... the shapes, lines and shadows. Its not your average staircase!
