Water cascades over concrete aggregate blocks in the Active Pool at the Philip Johnson-designed Fort Worth Water Gardens in the south end of Downtown Fort Worth, Texas.
I was driving around the industrial area by the river and found an aggregate/concrete business. Lots of interesting patterns.

Shortly after sunrise 66707 Sir Sam Fay rolls through the frozen Warwickshire countryside heading 6G80 Peak Forest to Small Heath.

Olomoucká Dopravní 740-861 is seen here leaving Hradčovice, Czech Republic, at the head of a short westbound aggregates train.
Potentilla indica known commonly as mock strawberry, Indian-strawberry, or false strawberry, is a flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. It has foliage and an aggregate accessory fruit similar to that of a true strawberry. It has yellow flowers, unlike the white or slightly pink flowers of true strawberries. It is native to eastern and southern Asia, but has been introduced to many other areas as a medicinal and an ornamental plant, subsequently naturalizing in many regions worldwide.
Лапчатка индийская (лат. Potentilla indica, традиционные устаревшие названия — дюшенея, или индийская земляника, или ложная земляника, Duchesnea indica) — вид травянистых растений, внешне напоминающих листьями и ложными плодами землянику.

Aggregate Industries liveried (GB Railfreight) 66711 'Sence' leads the 6T64 0827 Stratford (London) to Whitemoor Yard L.D.C Gbrf departmental through Waterbeach. 66539 can be seen in the distance.
The sun struggles to shine through the milky cloud cover, as train CT-1 with three B39-8s for power approach Route 150 in Wallingford. This train takes stone loads from Tilcons Reeds Gap quarry to Cedar Hill Yard. Later at night, a new crew operating as train CHFP will make the trip to Fresh Pond Yard in Queens, NY. The antique truck on the left is home to the Connecticut Street Rod Association.
Concrete Materials uses its railroad subsidiary, Ellis & Eastern, to move its products around. That means raw materials like sand, as well as industrial products like cement. The railroad's pair of SD40-2Ws accelerate from the sand pit at Corson, S.D., on BNSF's Corson Subdivision. The sand will go to Concrete Materials' plant on the west side of Sioux Falls.
GB Railfreight (GBRF) 66764 leads the 6H76 1135 Chesterton Junction Gbrf to March Up Yard Gbrf aggregate empties through Waterbeach.
Decades of overbuilding have produced extensive and heterogeneous urban areas facing some of the most beautiful Italian beaches.
Even in the event of abuse, the repeated amnesties have regularized the buildings for passing on to future generations.
The buildings, different for structure, materials and colors, have gradually accumulated alongside each other in unlikely and fascinating aggregates, constituting a self-contained universe with strong aesthetic and poetic overtones enhanced by the coastal location.
After a brief pathing stop at Sheffield station, GBRf ‘Shed’ 66724 'Drax Power Station' notches up for the climb to Dore Station Junction and Totley Tunnel, a route that will take it into the heart of the Derbyshire Pennines.
The train is the 12.41pm Doncaster Down Decoy - Peak Forest Cemex, discharged aggregate (4M03).
There's no such thing as a run-up for this one - as can be seen the average 1 in 100 climb over the next six miles starts immediately under the bridge. No sweat for this loco however - the empty wagons constitute a load of just 600 tonnes.
Autumn seemingly beckons beyond the bridge.....
Comments off for this one, thanks.

Rework of an image taken 10 years ago.
Back in the early period after retirement, I found myself spending a lot of time in the Derbyshire High Peak trying to make up for the complete absence of any visits there snapping the rail scene during the 1970s.
This shot, taken from the top of the short Great Rocks Tunnel, captures a large part of the Tunstead Quarry complex. It's testament to the scale of the operation however that a significant part of the processing plant is out of sight on the right and behind me, and a sizeable part of the quarrying area is out of sight in front of me. The last I heard was that the complex had enough material to support a further 100 years or so of quarrying operations, give or take.
Dwarfed by the landscape around it, DB Cargo 'Shed' 66093 is seen here passing the Tunstead complex with the 12.55pm Dowlow - Ashburys (6H52) loaded limestone train. The material being carried would have been quarried just here and then sent to Dowlow for crushing into smaller pieces before despatch to the local distribution centre in the Manchester area.

CP Rail 4718, an MLW M636, leads a westbound manifest train beneath an aggregate conveyor system in Zorra, Ontario.
Before aggregate mining companies, housing developers, and Utah Transit Authority altered the landscape, the Jordan Narrows between Lehi and Riverton, Utah was a rural retreat with deer, birds, fish, and foxes for sightseers to enjoy. Utilizing trackage rights on the D&RGW granted late in 1985, Union Pacific's LUC51 rolls through the greenery with 71 cars for North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 8, 1993.
Almost didn't bother with this as shooting into the sun...But I like the dust coming off the stone wagons. Creates a nice effect I think.

A new spot for lineside photography - in dull conditions here we see GBRF locomotive 66725 heading north through Sutton Bonnington on the MML with 4H96 from Luton Redland Sdgs to Tunstead Sdgs on the afternoon of the 17/12/20.

The garden strawberry (or simply strawberry; Fragaria × ananassa) is a widely grown hybrid plant cultivated worldwide for its fruit. The genus Fragaria, the strawberries, is in the rose family, Rosaceae. The fruit is appreciated for its aroma, bright red colour, juicy texture, and sweetness. It is eaten either fresh or in prepared foods such as jam, ice cream, and chocolates. Artificial strawberry flavourings and aromas are widely used in commercial products. Botanically, the strawberry is not a berry, but an aggregate accessory fruit. Each apparent 'seed' on the outside of the strawberry is actually an achene, a botanical fruit with a seed inside it.
This was the second train of the day at Cliffe.
For anyone not familiar with the location, it's near Gravesend, Kent and only a mile away from the Thames, with it's own jetty for Dredgers to deliver dredged aggregate. This is transported to the wash & grading plant by a conveyor.
This is the run round loop / reception siding. The loco runs around the train of empties and then propels it into the loading area, nine wagons on each of road four & five, as seen in the next image.

Excerpt from the plaque:
HueScape by Art Aggregate: With HueScape we want to encourage viewers to engage with the piece as both individual objects and as an immersive space. By shifting vantage points we can focus on the work as a tunnel or view it as a porthole drawing our attention through to the environment beyond the structures.
The work is a marker with delineating lines that mark one’s presence in time and the presence of an act upon the wood.
Freightliner 'Shed' 66588 runs the gauntlet of Friday night passengers and station staff as it rumbles slowly through Reading's platform 8 with the 6.34pm Churchyard Sidings - Whatley Quarry discharged aggregate hoppers (6V51).
Most freight is scheduled to run through platforms 12 and 13 (and, occasionally, 15) but keeping an eye on the virtual signal diagram while staying close to the footbridge can pay dividends for those last minute platform changes - as happened here.
In what is now a mostly rebuilt station, I do like the way the main legacy building has been retained and incorporated into the new structure - a comforting link to the station's heritage. Note too the homage to the station's previous name, Reading General, on the large-scale totem at right. Have to say I thought the 'General' name was given to the station much earlier during Great Western Railway ownership rather than post the 1948 nationalisation, but I could be mistaken.
What isn't in doubt are the sheer numbers of passengers using the facility - some 17million in the year prior to Covid. And, while current numbers are still well down on that, catching a train for the 36 mile ride to London, even in the mid-morning off-peak period, can still be a sardine-like experience.
I also noted that the line at platform 8 is roughly where the through line was in the 1970s. This was where the daily joy could be experienced of a Western passing through the station at speed at the head of the Up "Cornish Riviera Ltd'. Heady days for diesel-hydraulic spotters and snappers alike!
For this image I've opted to not over-egg the lighting, but instead keep it similar to the levels it actually was.
