In addition to the rainy season opening it's gates, I am approaching my third week of recovering from a total hip replacement and haven't been cleared to hit the trails yet. :-) So, I thought I'd post a few photos out of the archives....for now.
L&C train 14 has just departed Lancaster and is seen rolling westbound towards Richburg on a misty and rainy morning with a G&O painted GP40-2LW leading the L&C blue high hood GP38AC, and a recently acquired MP15DC. With nearly no two of the same model locomotives on the railroad, the L&C is a haven for oddball mashups of power like this.
This photo is bursting with summer colours from the bright blue sky and rich green leaves of the trees to the black and white of the cows. This perfect summer scene is an excellent addition to the Summer Days collection and certainly shows the viewer a wonderful summery photo

Reportaje a Steven Wilson, Musico y Compositor de Rock Progresivo, Fragmento del 21/03/2016 por Fabrizio Pedrotti (@f_pedrotti) en Entrevistas
-Los trenes suelen aparecer bastante en tus letras. Además del tema de Porcupine Tree (Banda anterior a su carrera de solista), en “Happy returns” cantás que “los años pasaron como trenes”. ¿Qué importancia tuvieron en tu vida?
-Bueno, crecí cerca de una estación de ferrocarril. Cuando era chico los escuchaba viniendo y yéndose, y ese sonido me da mucha nostalgia. Para mí representa la posibilidad de escaparse, de dejar algo y de irse a otro lugar. En aquel entonces veía a los vagones como un símbolo de viajar, de alejarme de mis posesiones más cercanas. Así que, como dijiste, muchas veces usé las metáforas de los trenes. También pueden aparecer de manera opuesta, como el concepto de estar “varado” en algún lugar, o sin posibilidades de huir de una situación. En “Happy returns” representan la idea del tiempo pasando, sin que nada realmente suceda. Habla de la inercia en la vida y de estar paralizado en una situación, simplemente mirando los trenes yendo y viniendo.

"Trains usually show up a lot in your lyrics." In addition to the Porcupine Tree track (Band previous to his solo career), in "Happy returns" you sing that "the years passed like trains". What importance did they have in your life?
"Well, I grew up near a railroad station. When I was a boy I heard them coming and going, and that sound gives me a lot of nostalgia. For me it represents the possibility of escaping, of leaving something and of going to another place. At that time I saw the wagons as a symbol of traveling, of moving away from my nearest possessions. So, as you said, I often used the metaphors of trains. They may also appear in the opposite way, such as the concept of being "stranded" somewhere, or with no possibility of fleeing from a situation. In "Happy returns" they represent the idea of time passing, without anything really happening. It talks about inertia in life and being paralyzed in a situation, just watching the trains coming and going.

Lee Turkey Farm has been established since 1868, and has been worked by seven generations of the same family.
There, in addition to getting the best products from East Windsor, in my opinion, you can see the most beautiful sunsets, which I have been seeing since 2000 when I came to live in this area.
I invite you to come and enjoy this fascinating place.

Allí además de conseguir los mejores productos de East Windsor, en mi opinión, se pueden observar los más bellos atardeceres, los cuales he venido viendo desde el año 2000 cuando vine a residir en esta zona.
Los invito a pasar, y disfrutar, de este fascinante lugar.

Lucerne is one of the major stops on any trip to Switzerland. In addition to the unmistakable cityscape with the lake, Chapel Bridge and historic old town, Lucerne offers many sights and is the perfect hub for excursions to the region around Lake Lucerne.

Before getting into the title, let me address the image. In addition to the Finchette on the left side of the feeder, we see here a couple of new additions, not necessarily to the yard but definitely to the camera. So, why not introduce them simultaneously in a sitting pose plainly showing the backside as well as a snazzy flight maneuver by, yes, some of you may have guessed, Pine Siskins. As you can see, they are a pretty colored bird with beaks that are more slender than that of a Finch. We used to have a couple of green ones coming around but no such luck this year yet. One more reason we are looking at this flight shot is that I have encountered some criticism regarding my yard management techniques. I want to make it clear that Levitation is not the only thing happening here, although and perhaps because of my dislike for rules (in spite of my German upbringing – nothing is Verboten here) Levitation is practiced a lot.
The reason I am bringing up the “Counting Flowers on the Wall and Inner Peace” in the title is that I simply neglected to mention a couple of things in my previous exposé on Inner Peace. Not only do I do a lot of bird watching (as you may have realized by now), there are other things such as counting ducks that I previously mentioned. Playing solitaire and watching TV have actually taking a back seat to my taking pictures. Smoking cigarettes is still high on the list. Some of you, however, posted such marvelous flower shots with such vivid colors that I now find myself Counting Flowers On The Wall. These, of course, only exist in my mind but are not any less vivid than the real thing.

Although I like the Statler Brothers (they did the original), this is a much snazzier version with way better sound. Addicted to the toe stomping, hand clapping beat.
Another before-and-after example of my digital retouch work. This was the only photo that this person had of their mother with her brothers and sisters together as children. I restored it to a "like new" condition. In addition to a wonderful memory restored, the process of scanning and "digitizing" old photos gives you a backup if the original print is ever lost or ruined.

The main body of the large white barn on the McPolin Farmstead was likely completed in 1921. The two grain silos and milking parlor additions were added in 1954. The barn features a gambrel roof, which provided an ample hayloft for a large herd. Two cupolas atop the roof offered fresh air for the cows, while long rows of small windows illuminated the stable area. As housing units were constructed on the nearby mountainside, Park City purchased a portion of the farmland, including the barn, to ensure the farmstead would be preserved and maintained to reflect the agricultural and historical landscape of the valley before the ski resort era. The farmstead is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The sun sets on the cemetery for the old Lima State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.
The hospital was the largest poured-concrete building in the world when built 110 years ago and was basically a warehouse for people deemed too dangerous to be at large in society. It was converted to a state prison in 1982 and has been shut down since 2004.
A smaller prison remains in use next door to the sprawling ex-hospital/prison, and there’s another prison just beyond the trees behind this cemetery. I could hear the inmates out in the recreation yard on this afternoon.
The crosses are clearly a later addition; if I recall correctly, they have names on them while the stones below do not.
In addition to the oddly-fluted, ex-SP cars used in the business car fleet, BNSF maintains a handful of other obscure bilevels at their Topeka, KS shops. In the background, their two ex-ATSF Hi-Level Snow Coaches lay over on the old roundhouse tracks, along with their power cars. In the foreground is BNSF 87, the Skagit River. The 87 is one of the manned Track Measurement cars, and it's another ex-SP commuter car.
Here, it was backing out of the Shops and onto the Main at 51, before heading east to KC with the 6842 on the point. However, it would have to wait for the arrival of the Lawrence Local before taking off.
our newest addition to the Jones family. we think she's some kind of Hound Dog. some friends of ours found her and 4 other brothers and sisters in a box at the end of a dirt rd. Some people are just heartless. they need a good home! interested?
On Saturday, in addition to the red-winged blackbirds, I saw a flock of mallards in the pond, and in among them, a few hybrid drakes. Both were a little bigger than the mallards, but seemed to blend in socially just fine. Tualatin Hills wetland trail near Beaverton, Oregon.

A couple of photographs of a new and fabulous addition to the British Columbia Aviation Museum in Victoria. The story is probably best written up by the article www.key.aero/article/convair-fire-bomber-flies-retirement:
"Canada’s BC Aviation Museum experienced a first on September 23 [2022] – the simultaneous retirement to the museum of both an aircraft and its pilot. The aircraft was Convair CV-580 C-FHKF, a machine that spent more than 20 years fighting fires – and making his farewell flight at the controls was Grahame Wilson, who has some 40 years’ experience in the role. In Grahame’s capable hands, the aircraft made a final flight from Abbotsford to the museum’s home at Victoria International Airport. Kilo-Foxtrot will now be put on static display, with Grahame volunteering as a tour guide, explaining to visitors how aviation shaped the province. Originally built in 1955 as a CV-440 ‘Metropolitan’ – an all-metal airliner – it first flew with Sabena Air of Belgium. Eventually exported to Canada, it was converted to an air tanker and began operations with Abbotsford-based Conair from 2000. Grahame fondly recalls that every year he spent with Conair was “special”, and that of all the aircraft he flew, the CV-580 was the most enjoyable and fulfilling."
From the aviation museum's webpage at www.bcam.net/the-modern-era-1970/, we have a history of this beautiful aircraft:
"Convair CV580 T[anker] 55 spent more than 20 years as an air tanker fighting fires in British Columbia and abroad. The aircraft was built in 1956 as a Convair 440 ‘Metropolitan’- a twin piston-engine, 34 passenger, all-metal airliner with pressurized cabin. In 1956 it entered service with Sabena Air of Belgium, where it operated for 12 years before being sold in 1968 to Frontier Airlines of Denver, Colorado, and modernized to a turboprop airliner designated the Convair 580. Frontier operated the airliner for 17 years until sold to Sierra Pacific Airlines of Tucson, Arizona, with whom it remained for a further 15 years. Exported to Canada, it was then converted to an air tanker configuration and in the year 2000 entered operations with Conair of Abbotsford, British Columbia. At the end of the 2022 fire season and following 22 years as an air tanker, the Convair 580 T[anker] 55 was donated to the BC Aviation Museum by Conair Group Inc."
This chunky, flying brick was a late-addition to the list of imperial shuttles. This particular boat has just ferried Minister Pol-Atumba to T'Rena for trade talks with The Empire. Unbeknownst to the Minister and her guards, she will not be leaving the meeting alive...
This boat is pretty heavily based on this piece. I made a few changes, most of which are pretty obvious. I made the wing tips fold and the cockpit more in line with the brutalist Imperial design language. The rear detailing is based on the lambda shuttle and the windows and guns are based on the zeta shuttle.
I wanted a nice imposing access ramp and I managed to fit two reasonable levels and a spacious cockpit. The main roof lifts off and the cockpit roof hinges up/is removable to see the upper deck. Sliding doors separate the cockpit from the main room and engine access is opposite. The upper deck's floor lifts off to reveal the lower deck/entryway and a ladder connects it all.
The internal structure here is the chonkiest I have ever made. It makes my 2020 SHIP look like a pile of leaves. I am very proud off all of the angles I managed to stick in here, although I do think the cockpit is a tad messy compared witht the rest of the build. All-in-all, I am confident that this boat would be able to support itself and then some irl.
another addition to my imagined architecture set :)

Another train addition to my Llangollen Station images, i find it hard to resist when you have so much lovely landscape in the towns surrounding area.
Grade I listed historic building.
"All Saints' Church, Stamford is a parish church in the Church of England, situated in Stamford, Lincolnshire, England. The parish includes St John the Baptist's Church which is now redundant.
A Stamford church is mentioned in the Domesday Book. None of the original church is still in existence. There is a very small amount of 12th-century stonework, but the bulk of the church dates from the 13th century.
Extensive additions were made by the Browne family in the 15th century.[1] John Browne, Merchant of the Staple of Calais, funded the 15th-century construction. His son, William, Mayor of the Calais Staple, funded and built the steeple.[2] Various members of the Browne family are the only people buried inside the church. William Stukeley was vicar from 1730 to 1747.
Stamford is a town on the River Welland in Lincolnshire, England, 92 miles (148 km) north of London on the A1. The population at the 2011 census was 19,701. The town has 17th and 18th-century stone buildings, older timber-framed buildings and five medieval parish churches. Stamford is a frequent filming location. In 2013 it was rated the best place to live in a survey by The Sunday Times." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.
Additions to homes must get approval from the Acoma Chief and can go no higher than three stories because of the high winds across the mesa. The Raven that kept flying around is slightly visible in this photo.
This is the newest addition to my garden. I spotted this Gazania at our local nursery for $2 and decided on the spot that I had to have it. I love the colour of this one. This is taken with my 75-300 mm lens and the 36 mm Kenko macro extension tube.
