"Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better." Henry Rollins
The winter and the cold wave came to Switzerland.
With this picture I did not make it easy for me. At first I really could not decide which photo to put on flickr. I wrestled with myself, because I would like to present the most beautiful photo for my friends here. Secondly, the picture was made under very difficult external conditions, because it was really "bitterly cold". I could barely touch my hands after photographing and yet I wanted to get a nice photo of these beautiful ice crystals. I succeeded, more or less, because the background was not ideal for that. In addition, my faithful friend Roco had to wait for me and there I no longer want to start one try after another. This time I did not want to make any compromises with the warm colors of the picture, because the cold should be very touchable. I believe this has succeeded with this picture. I am fascinated by this "little work of art". Each little detail is a miracle of creation, because it was shaped by the elements of nature and radiates its brilliance as long as this nature allows.
I am grateful for these little things without which life would not be so beautiful and interesting.
Rejoice over the elements of nature.
Erwin
I thank you all for the interest and enthusiasm for my work here. I am happy about every comment from you and every time you like my pictures. Thank you very much for all the favorites and for watching my photos.
Small supplement of today:
The winter has caught up with me too, for I am terribly cold. Nevertheless, or just because of this, I am looking forward to every single word from you. Also, I always see in the little things, which makes the importance and beauty of life. Wish all of you a blessed time, without illness and with much love and joy. Hope you can all be in a nice warm place, because outside it is extremely cold here. Brrrrrr .....

Gallotia galloti palmae, in La Palma. In addition to Gallotia galloti, it is sometimes called "smut lizard". The blight lizard can reach 30 cm in length. Males are somewhat larger than females and have a blue patch on their faces. Black lizard (Gallotia galloti) The black lizard is a very abundant reptile in the Canary Islands, especially in agricultural areas and coastal scrubland. It prefers dry and sunny places, such as rocky areas, especially rock walls, and avoids the laurel forest area. It can live up to 3,000 m above sea level, so it can be found at almost any altitude. Forest roads are a favorable habitat for this species, since it also uses them to move around, as it allows it to stay in the sun during its walks. Being a poikilothermic animal (that is, cold-blooded), it requires clear places where it can warm up on the rock, until it reaches a body temperature that allows it to be active. Feeding Their diet is based on plants and insects; sometimes it eats the grapes cultivated by man, for which it is subject to persecution.
Gallotia galloti palmae, en La Palma.
Además del Gallotia galloti recibe a veces el nombre de "lagarto tizón"
El lagarto tizón puede alcanzar los 30 cm de longitud. Los machos son algo más grandes que las hembras y tienen una mancha azul en la cara.
Lagarto tizón (Gallotia galloti) El lagarto tizón es un reptil muy abundante en las islas canarias, especialmente en las zonas agrícolas y matorrales de las zonas costeras. Prefiere los lugares secos y soleados, como las zonas pedregosas, especialmente paredes de rocas, y evita la zona de laurisilva. Puede vivir hasta por encima de los 3.000 m, por lo que se le encuentra a casi cualquier altura. Las carreteras forestales son para esta especie un hábitat favorable, ya que las utiliza también para desplazarse, ya que le permite permanecer al sol durante sus caminatas. Al ser un animal poiquilotermo (es decir, de sangre fría), requiere sitios despejados donde pueda calentarse sobre la roca, hasta alcanzar una temperatura corporal que le permita estar activo.
Alimentación
Su alimentación se basa en plantas e insectos; en ocasiones come las uvas cultivadas por el hombre, por lo que es objeto de persecución.
Another addition to my Out West series and another take on the the sunflower field shot that I used with the Prairie Dog. As seen headed up Rt 85 maybe around Ludlow, SD.

Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated in the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. It lies on the River Stour.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.
Though not nearly as nice as the scenery out in Yellowstone Park, Winneshiek County's coldwater streams offer comparable trout fishing. Coldwater creek contains wild brown and brook trout in addition to stocked rainbows. I had the stream all to myself tonight as most anglers have hung up their fishing rods for the year.
Der Eisfjord bei Ilulissat ist weltbekannt und wurde 2004 auf die Liste des UNESCO Weltnaturerbes aufgenommen.
Der Gletscher Sermeq Kujalleq, aus dem der Eisfjord entspringt, ist ein wahrlich beeindruckender Gletscher. Es ist der schnellste Gletscher der nördlichen Hemisphäre und bewegt sich täglich 40 Meter. Er ist 6 Kilometer breit und 45 Kilometer lang. Das entspricht etwa 66.000 Fußballfeldern. Darüber hinaus ist der Gletscher dafür bekannt, dass er die gleiche Menge an Eis ins Wasser abwirft, wie Manhattan an Wasser pro Jahr konsumiert. Tatsächlich produziert der Sermeq Kujalleq ganze 10 Prozent aller Eisberge Grönlands!
The ice fjord near Ilulissat is world-famous and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004.
The Sermeq Kujalleq glacier, from which the ice fjord originates, is a truly impressive glacier. It is the fastest glacier in the northern hemisphere, moving 40 meters every day. It is 6 kilometers wide and 45 kilometers long. That is equivalent to about 66,000 football fields. In addition, the glacier is known for releasing the same amount of ice into the water as Manhattan consumes in water per year. In fact, Sermeq Kujalleq produces a full 10 percent of all icebergs in Greenland!
a new addition to my project :-)
Coconino County desert beardtongue is an incredible bloomer with numerous spikes of intensely deep pink tubular flowers in late spring. A willing re-seeder, it spreads gently, helping to fill in difficult-to-plant areas. Drought resistant/drought tolerant plant (xeric).
An addition for my prairie insects collection. This juvenile dragonfly has wings like the male and an abdomen like the female. I didn't realize it was a juvie when I shot it - I was just trying to catch the sparkles on the wings.....
Best seen on black (by pressing L) to have larger view!

We have got a new puppy called Ruby. Here she is playing with our Grandson and settling into her new home.
Le Tornado est la pièce maîtresse spectaculaire du Fenix. Composée d'acier inoxydable et dotée de deux escaliers en bois majestueux, elle est la dernière-née des constructions architecturales de Rotterdam. Conçue par Ma Yansong du cabinet chinois MAD Architects, la Tornado est à la fois une œuvre d'art et une plateforme panoramique. Située au cœur du musée, elle relie le rez-de-chaussée, le premier étage et le belvédère sur le toit. Au-delà de sa fonction pratique, les escaliers symbolisent le thème central du Fenix : la migration.
The Tornado is the spectacular centerpiece of the Fenix. Made of stainless steel and featuring two majestic wooden staircases, it is the latest architectural addition to Rotterdam. Designed by Ma Yansong of the Chinese firm MAD Architects, the Tornado is both a work of art and a panoramic platform. Located in the heart of the museum, it connects the ground floor, the first floor, and the rooftop observation deck. Beyond its practical function, the staircases symbolize the central theme of the Fenix: migration.
This is an addition on a traditional brick home in my hood ... views of Lake Ivanhoe out the front windows ... I think it has an outdoor kitchen and eating and living area, probably opening to the back yard. Very cool me thinks. Happy Window Wednesdays!
When the moon comes up
the bells are silent
and the paths seem
impenetrable.
When the moon comes up
the sea covers the earth
and the heart becomes
island in the infinite.

Unfortunately, even this great moon does not get the tide in this lake, because there is very little water .....

Although this plant is often cultivated and grown in flower gardens it is actually a native wildflower. This particular plant was blooming in a hedgerow behind the barn. It first apeared about two years ago and has now multiplied until there is a nice golden patch along the split rail fence.
Field notes: In addition to displayng a brilliant yellow bloom, golden Ragwort is known for its medicinal properites. And has long been used as an anti-inflammatory, cough suppressent and muscle relaxer. It should however, be noted that like many herbs and medicinals it has its own accompanying side affects and should be used with care .

E’ l’ultima delle 10 Nart Spider prodotte e la terzultima della serie 275.
E’ l’unica Nart venduta in Europa, certificata da Ferrari Classica.
Nata grigia, anzi esattamente grigio scuro, ora è rossa.
Ps: Nart sta per North American Racing Team (NART) che era la scuderia creata nel 1958 da Luigi Chinetti.
E’ una Ferrari da film. Una 275 Gts/4 Nart Spider ha infatti recitato in The Thomas Crown affair accanto a Steve McQueen,uno che le auto (e non solo) le ha sempre amate. Anche se nel film la definisce “one of those red italian things“. Una di quelle cose rosse italiane…. Una di quelle cose rosse e italiane che gli hanno fatto perdere la testa (un po’ come Fay Dunaway nel film) tanto che proprio durante le riprese, ordinò la prima Ferrari della sua collezione.
Hollywood a parte, la 275 Gts/4 Nart comincia la sua storia grazie a Luigi Chinetti, l’importatore americano delle vetture di Maranello.E’ stato lui a convincere Ferrari a produrre la versione spider da affiancare alla 33o Gts e alla 275 GTB/4 per soddisfare la sofisticata clientela statunitense. Un modello con una rispettabile storia sportiva: seconda di classe (17° posto totale) alla 12 ore di Sebring del 1967.
L’esemplare che va all’asta a Monaco fu venduta in Spagna, a Madrid nel 1968 a un colonnello della Legione Straniera che le mise targhe Sahariane (Spanish Sahara per la precisione) senza mai esportarla in Nord Africa però. Qualche anno più tardi cambiò di mano, restando in Spagna (con targa di Madrid) ed entrando a far parte della collezione di José Segimon che la testò a fondo anche in pista a Jarama. Nel 1982 emigrò in Inghilterra dove fu ridipinta di rosso e nel 1983 è entrata a far parte della scuderia di Albert Obrist, uno dei collezionisti svizzeri più famosi. Nel 1995 la famiglia Obrist la vendette però negli Stati Uniti dove il suo proprietario Terry Hoyle la sfoggiò spesso facendola arrivare anche sulla cover di Octane nel 2005. Nel 2009 la Nart cambio ancora proprietario finendo nel garage di Lord Laidlaw nel West Sussex. la moglie di Lord Laidlaw la guidò personalmente in un raduno riservato alle signore in Toscana… Una storia fatta di una decina di proprietari che fanno parte di una ristretta schiera di grandi cxollezionisti Ferrari (in 5 hanno avuto anche delle Gto in garage).
E’ una Ferrari gioiello, insomma.

One of the rarest roadsters in the world, the 1968 Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spider was first seen on the big screen in the The Thomas Crown Affair starring Steve McQueen—a model the actor himself subsequently owned. Built at the behest of Luigi Chinetti, the first Ferrari dealer in the United States, Enzo Ferrari and Sergio Scaglietti produced only 10 examples—and each was given an acronym that referenced the marque’s North American Racing Team. Chinetti believed the American market desired the power of Ferrari’s GTB/4 coupe but in a convertible configuration, and that is exactly what the 300 hp, drop-top tourer provided. Still a competitor at heart, the first NART Spider took second in class at the 1967 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race, driven by wonder women Marianne “Pinkie” Rollo and Denise McCluggage.
Fit with a V-12 engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes, Chassis No. 11057 stands out in significance as it was the last NART Spider produced and the only one that was sold new in Europe. Bought by a Spanish colonel in the Foreign Legion, the car later travelled through several owners and became a prominent addition to the collections of both Chris Cox and Carlo Monteverde before eventually parking in the possession of Lord Irvine Laidlaw. Certified by Ferrari Classiche, the exceptional example is estimated to fetch up to $26.3 million, but who knows? If the bidding exceeds $38,115,000 (the price paid for a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta through Bonhams in 2014), this Prancing Horse could take the prize as the most expensive car to ever sell at auction.

Grazie antonè per collaborazione!
During the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, the entirety of the line was single track. As time went on, most of the trackage would see the addition of second tracks, which included a few double track tunnels. Donner Pass would end up with two, one at Blue Canyon, and another one in the foothills at Newcastle.
I’ve always found the tunnel at Newcastle interesting, specifically because of the track’s layout coming out of the east portal. While the later constructed Track 2 stays on a decently flat grade, the adjacent Track 1 shoots up a 2.65% grade. In general, the grade on the original alignment is steep around here, with trains being forced to navigate a 2.42% grade coming into town. Due to this, the Southern Pacific realized running trains on a directional track system would be the way to go. While the far less demanding Track 2 would be used for the eastbound traffic, westbound traffic would have to navigate the challenging grade with sharp twists and turns Track 1 throws at trains. However, when UP modernized Donner in the late 2000s and early 2010s, this directional traffic would make a massive shift.
While directional traffic would still exist over the Sierras, it was mostly eliminated for Donner. Since most of the westbound traffic consists of heavy loaded trains, the UP would shift most of the westbound traffic to the WP’s consistent 1% grade through the Feather River Canyon. Due to this, very few westbound trains would take Donner, with the only regulars today being Amtrak, MSPRV, a Z, and a weekly I stack. This would lead to a pattern where Track 2 would be the preferred track for all traffic on the western slope west of Colfax. Meanwhile, Track 1 became the backup in case any opposing traffic was on the line at the same time. However, when you realize how big the eastbound trains usually are, it becomes apparent why SP had directional running.
The manifest pictured here is a prime example. MRVNP, a North Platte bound manifest that originates in Roseville, is a massive train that navigates the mountain daily. On this day, the manifest was running a 3x3x0 configuration, but with Amtrak being lined down Track 2, the heavy beast was lined up the other track. Despite Track 1 being slow in general, the weight of this train kept all six locomotives in full throttle the entire way up, but it was barely enough to keep the beast moving. Even though I-80 was very busy and located close to the tunnel, the sound of the locomotives was overpowering the highway even from a few miles away. When the train finally showed up, the sound of prime movers in full throttle was deafening as the manifest slowly pushed up the grade. Even though it’s only thirteen miles from Roseville, where this manifest originated, Newcastle has been known to stall trains like this one once in a while. While this train may not have stalled, I’m sure the crew had the thought it might in the back of their mind.
In addition to the Yellow-rumped Warblers, we saw a lot of Cedar Waxwings eating the Cedar berries. In fact that is where part of their name comes from. From allaboutbirds.org: "The birds’ name derives from their appetite for cedar berries in winter." The bird pictured here is an immature bird as evident by the prominent streaking on the breast and faint looking black mask as compared to an adult. Anoka County, MN 10/04/20

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of Snow Geese at Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge, during spring migration, there were over 1,200 Trumpeter Swans. The swans spend most of the winter in the refuge. Here are two of them flying by in close formation.
Trumpeter Swans are North America's largest waterfowl, weighing in at more than 25 LBS.
These beauties were a regular visitor to our garden for many years, seemingly always in pairs.
In recent years numbers have declined dramatically. Fortunately in Scotland they are still a common bird.

Tralee Bay - Argyll Scotland
Many thanks as always to those kind enough to comment and fave my photos or even to drop by for a quick peek. It is very much appreciated.

A friend was promoted last year and received a "new" office, filled with stuff left behind by a now retired professor. This Hermes 3000 typewriter was left in that office and needed a new home, so after a stopover for a cleaning and mechanical overhaul, it now lives with me. It was made in 1964, in Switzerland.

Railfest 2023, and a recent addition to the Delaware Lackawanna Railroad. It'll be a treat when this thing finally runs on the wheels.
Bill Keys arrived in the area around 1910, acquired the ranch property and built the first part of the house. There were later additions after he married Frances in 1917after a whirlwind courtship. She came to the ranch with him where she bore seven children, four of which survived to adulthood. On the right side of the image is one of several wells on the property. In addition to raising the children, Frances tended a large garden and fruit trees. She sold preserves to other residents in the area as well as to visitors. Both Frances and Bill worked hard and made a successful life in a challenging desert environment. They lived here until their deaths in the late 60's. Joshua Tree National Park acquired the property in 1969.

The 2011 addition of the circular skywalk "Your Rainbow" panorama on the very top of this landmark museum is unique and popular with everyone visiting. So cool. The views of Aarhus city are stunning. Also a fun place for children to play hide and seek with their parents. Good times.
