Aside from the the three main deadlines in the T-Yard, there has persistently been another cut of locomotives next to the North Receiver. Mostly GPs and a B40 make up the "consist".
Back from my tour to Italy, scratches all over my arms due to spiky jungles which once were gorgeous gardens and more than a thousand kilometers in my back driving alone before sunrise, here I am loaded with pictures of abandoned places. I managed to visit 17 different abandoned places and I couldn't get into 4. This villa was my first.
Does this look like Oklahoma?
There's no siding on or near Chavez Siding Road, the only sidings on the Nogales are at Rico Rio and Santa Cruz which is north of Green Valley. Deceiving name aside the scenery through here is great, as the Sierrita Mountains provide a great backdrop for the Nogales, as it rolls out of one of the many small bends along the course of the seasonally dry Santa Cruz River.
4 Candles.
The Four Candles burned
slowly. Their Ambiance was so
soft you could hear them
speak...
The First Candle said, "I Am
Peace, but these days, nobody
wants to keep me lit." Then
Peace's flame slowly
diminishes and goes out
completely.
The Second Candle said, "I Am
Faith, but these days, I am no
longer indispensable." Then
Faith's flame slowly
diminishes and goes out
completely.
Sadly The Third Candle Speaks,
"I Am Love and I haven't the
strength to stay lit any
longer. People put me aside
and don't understand my
importance. They even forget
to love those who are nearest
to them." Waiting no longer,
Love goes out completely.
Suddenly...A child enters the
room and sees the three
candles no longer burning. The
child begins to cry, "Why are
you not burning? You are
supposed to stay lit until the
end!"
Then The Fourth Candle speaks
gently to the little child,
"Don't be afraid, for I Am
Hope, and while I still burn,
we can re-light the other
candles."
With Shining Eyes the child
took the Candle Of Hope and
lit the other three candles.
Never let the Flame Of Hope go
out of your life. With Hope,
no matter how bad things look
and are...Peace, Faith and
Love can Shine Brightly in our
lives.
Im Advent, zur Weihnachtszeit,
da war es hell im Zimmer.
Vier Kerzen waren aufgereiht,
und leuchteten wie immer.
Doch zum Flackern und zum Knistern
hörte man die Kerzen flüstern.
Die erste Kerze seufzt und spricht:
“Mein Licht brennt für den FRIEDEN,
die Menschen aber woll’n mich nicht,
es ist nur Streit hienieden."
Die Kerze verlor den schönen Glanz,
wurde klein und kleiner und erlosch dann ganz.
Die zweite Kerze traurig spricht:
“Für den GLAUBEN will ich brennen,
doch Gottes Worten glaubt man nicht,
Glauben will man nicht mehr kennen.”
Ein Luftzug wehte durch das Haus,
die zweite Kerze, die ging aus.
Die dritte Kerze kraftlos spricht:
“Die LIEBE will ich künden,
doch mit Neid und Hass im Angesicht
kann kein Lieb’ man finden.”
So flüsterte sie und ward ganz klein,
erlosch und verlor den hellen Schein.
Ins Zimmer trat ein kleines Kind,
sah die Kerzen, die nicht scheinen,
erloschen durch den kalten Wind,
fast fing es an zu weinen.
Mit Tränen es sehr traurig spricht:
“Leuchtet, ich brauche euer Licht!”
Da fällt die vierte Kerze ein:
“HOFFNUNG will ich geben,
mit meinem hellen Schein
soll’n alle Kerzen leben.
Hoffnung will ich hell verkünden
und alle Kerzen neu entzünden!”

Wenn uns bewusst wird, dass die Zeit, die wir uns für einen anderen Menschen nehmen, das Kostbarste ist, was wir schenken können, haben wir den Sinn der Weihnacht verstanden. (Roswitha Bloch)
Gottes Liebe wärme dich,
Gottes Gegenwart umstrahle dich,
Gottes Geist möge in dir sein.
Gottes Kraft soll in dir wirken,
Gottes Zärtlichkeit soll dich beschützen,
Gottes Friede soll dich umgeben.
Von Herzen wünsche ich dir eine friedliche und besinnliche Weihnachtszeit!
(Irischer Segenswunsch)
I wish all my Flickr friends a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas Season.
My dining table is ready for Advent.
Aside from some familiar features in the sky, where would you imagine yourself to be if you were immersed within this scene?
You'd probably be relieved to be breathing air! And wondering if you'll make it home.
Oddly enough, you're only about an hour's walk to a highway that will take you to Farmington, New Mexico. So many of the formations at Bisti seem to thumb their nose at gravity, at least for some period of time.
This scene is lit by my GoalZero adjustable lanterns. The sky features Jupiter, Antares, and the Scorpius region of the Milky Way. Made from 9 light frames by Starry Landscape Stacker 1.8.0. Algorithm: Mean Min Hor Noise.

Aside from steam, the Valley Railroad/Essex Steam Train operation is known for its fleet of GE center cab diesel locomotives. Three 80-ton units are in view here as 0905, in the center, retrieves a steam locomotive from the engine house.
Aside from the striped, this was the only ladybird species I found last Wednesday. Today's outing has been cancelled due to the wild weather, so I've got an unexpected day off.

Aside from stitching together about 6 shots I took, this is pretty much right of the cam, light and color-wise. had to stop on my way to an appointment and get a few shots of it. This is about a 180' view from South to North.
Aside from a 120 car taconite train with a pair of tunnel motor body SD40-3's with Maroon and Gold... I do have to say the MRL Gas Train is probably my favorite train.
The scenery between Missoula and Thompson Falls is remarkable and this train is an easy and normally predictable chase. Today was no different. Up at sunrise from my campsite between Paradise and St. Regis, it was less than ten minutes and I was in a short chase to Thompson Falls.
Unfortunately my trip out west this summer was cut short due to several family emergencies that developed while I was away... thing are starting to settle down and I would love to head back west...
for fiona who sent me the love letters
an aside: life is funny that way
this is ttv. I don't do anything except shoot. no processing.

It's Panorama time. This is the view from the lower lookout point at the Makapuu Lighthouse. This pano is made from 4 vertical shots, 6 exposures each. I'm not sure which I like better, verto or pano, but I'll give you guys both so you can decide.
Each frame is an HDR tonemapped from 6 exposures and blended with 2 of them. Then auto stitched in CS3. Curves, contrast, highlight/dodge tool, unsharp, and noise ninja. Oh and adjusted the Lens Distortion in cs3 to fix the curved horizon.

Aside from the bananas growing in our New Orleans yard, we also have a pepper plant that is doing well! I am not a pepper person, and Ken hasn't picked any to try yet, but the bananas are truly delicious and much richer than any I have ever had from the grocery store!
Aside from Mother's Day, the hubby and I are also celebrating our 6th Year Wedding anniversary today :-)
Sorry, I'm all out of words. Still recovering from typing the description on the previous shot - LOL!
Aside from sleepless nights, weight loss and anxiety I’ve also learned that every day is a gift & so is just being alive 4.11.20 ♥️
Aside from helping with in train forces and train handling, a rear DPU also allows for a well lit photo when you get a train from the wrong direction. In this case, an ES44C4 brings up the rear of an empty grain approaching Helena as the setting sun finds a small gap in the rain clouds.
Aside from the additions on either side, I don't think this old barn has seen a lot of love since it was built. Chenois Creek Rd near Hoquiam, Grays Harbor County, WA.
Orange Beef with Noodles
by Weight Watchers Magazine
Course: light meals
PointsPlus™ Value: 6
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 9 min
Cooking Time: 11 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy
We use flank steak, but you can also use boneless top round steak.
Ingredients
4 oz packaged rice noodles
2/3 cup(s) fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp dark sesame oil
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp chili sauce, (chili paste)
1/2 pound(s) raw lean flank steak, trimmed of all visible fat and sliced thin across the grain
6 medium scallion(s), cut into 2-inch slices
2 clove(s) garlic clove(s), minced (medium)
2 tsp ginger root, minced, peeled, fresh
Instructions
Prepare the noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside.
Combine the orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, oil, cornstarch, and chili paste in a bowl until blended and smooth; set aside.
Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over high heat. Add the steak and cook in batches, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the orange juice mixture and cook until the sauce boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Stir in the noodles; heat through. Serve at once.
Notes
When browning meat, make sure it is cooked over high heat in a single layer. If your pan is not big enough to accommodate all the meat at one time, cook it in batches, otherwise the meat will steam instead of brown.
Aside from the new units painted in Heritage paint schemes, there were also some actual heritage units in Spencer, North Carolina back in July 2012. All three locomotives were built in the 1950s. The two Norfolk & Western motors still run while the Norfolk Southern #1616 is solely on display.
Aside from the Opposing Solos, the Low Break Cross is perhaps the most exciting of the Blue Angels’ maneuvers. The Diamond arrives at center point from behind the crowd and then splits in opposite directions. After the split each pilot accelerates to 500 mph and turns around so all four jets cross over the center point nearly simultaneously. After this point, I get out from behind the camera to just enjoy it. This image from the Wings Over Wayne 2023 air show at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base picked up some amazing detail.
A powerful street Presence.
Sometimes its about size - but not always.

Wellington, Somerset, UK.
Partially obscured by trees and other vegetation and relegated to a non-productive slice of farmland, an aging dairy barn is seldom noticed by those who drive by on a dusty country gravel road. For those who do give it a momentary glance, many of them have probably never even entered a barn.
I have six growing grandchildren and none of them can remember ever being in a barn during their young lives. So when I talk about my farm upbringing and the importance barns played in my life, they react with a puzzlement that must mirror my dad’s observation about me when he talked about tying up sheaves of grain or spending the day behind a horse while plowing or cultivating corn.
As strong and vivid the memories of our agricultural background are to us older ones, it can make young folks shunt us aside as irrelevant as they fail to make a connection with our former world.
Like my parents before me, I find myself in a continual struggle to find common ground with the younger generations and their fascination with elements of life that hold no interest for me.
One helpful approach I try is to share relevant principles that under-girded the lives of common sense country folks for generations before we entered the age of the impersonal world.

Aside from staying up all night, what better way to start your day then SWAMPING with your friends?
There is mud up to my knees.
There is sunburn on my neck.
There are bruises on my arms.
And, in a way, I've never felt so alive.
Despite all of the homework and shit I have ahead of my schedule, I am pretty darn happy right now. The only thing that kind of takes away from that is knowing that it's over, but at least now I can have that memory to cherish.
Now that I have awoken my dream, it's time to return, back to reality.
That is what farmers called it when I was growing up.when their land was all plowed and ready for spring planting
I wish my Dad could come back and see the equipment they have today. He would be amazed.
This summer I allowed myself a museum's visit in the pandemic. The film was finished this week and developed today.
I love the New Museum on Berlin's Museum's Island especially for its traces of its former glory. Every visit lets me discover something new. This time, when it was a bit emptier I allowed myself the time to make pictures of when is aside from the actual museum's objects.

Aside from the CLSU Street Dance/Parade, our meeting was also interrupted by the arrival of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada. He needs to freshen up so he was taken to the CLSU Guesthouse where we were. Sino kaya ang ka-text niya? :-D

Aside from one short chase of them westbound a few years back, I've never really made much of an effort to find BNSF's Madison local on the Hanley Falls Subdivision. With a sunny Monday morning and nothing much better to do, I decided to meander toward Madison to see what I could find. I came across the train west of Boyd, but it was running east only as light power. The H1 leader looked pretty nice, though, so I made a little chase out of it, nabbing it here as they trundled past the large elevator that still stands in Boyd. I'm sure this was once a nice customer for the Minneapolis & St Louis Railway, but it appears that the switch has been removed for a while.
Aside from the main Palace, there is the House of the Turtles.
The Maya associated turtles with Chac, the rain god. According to myth, when the people sufferred from drought, so did the turtles, and both prayed to Chac to send rain.
The vertical columns or "rolled mats" running below the turtles is typical of the Puuc style.
