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.
Aggregate haulers in action. Ellis & Eastern's empty sand train cuts in front a a waiting Dakota & Iowa loaded rock train in downtown Sioux Falls.
Shortly after sunrise 66707 Sir Sam Fay rolls through the frozen Warwickshire countryside heading 6G80 Peak Forest to Small Heath.
With 2,000 tonnes of aggregate and wagons in tow, DB Cargo Shed no. 59204 draws to a halt in Westbury station for a crew change and a brief respite before continuing its journey.
The train is the 11.23am Merehead Quarry - Wootton Bassett (7B12).
I thought it interesting how the body panels looked out of line. Uncropped frame.

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.
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.
BR Blue 33023 and 33006 leave the Marcon terminal at Park Royal with aggregate empties for Angerstein Wharf. April 1990. This is a slightly longer view of an earlier posting. The branch behind the locos led to the Guinness brewery which generated a train a day a the time, as part of the Speedlink network. The third rail track is London Undergrounds Central Line.
Construction Sector Cromptons 33053 and 33050 'Isle of Grain' pass the semaphore signals at Kensington Olympia with aggregate empties for Angerstein Wharf on 30 April 1990.
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.

CP Rail 4718, an MLW M636, leads a westbound manifest train beneath an aggregate conveyor system in Zorra, Ontario.
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.
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.
This image has been processed again from the original RAW file using contemporary software to give a more realistic tonal range and better clarity. I've also removed some distracting grain noise. Best viewed full-screen, the original has been deleted.

DB Cargo's 66198 clatters across Marple Wharf Junction with its rake of box wagons full of stone from Dowlow quarry, destined for the aggregates processing facility at Ashburys (6H52). Marple aquaduct can be seen basking in the sunshine in the foreground.
As is always the risk when photographing the aquaduct in nice weather, numerous people tried their best to inadvertently get in the way of my shot in the run up to the 66's arrival as they ambled along the towpath enjoying the views and the sunshine. I could hear the train rumbling towards the viaduct as a man and his pram were only three quarters of the way across, but luckily he saw me lifting my camera in readiness and obligingly scurried out of the frame with seconds to spare!
66711 is seen approaching Langham junction with the 6L27 1714 Mountsorrel sidings - Whitemoor yard 20/6/22. (Taken using a pole)
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.
Aggregates liveried 59002 'Alan J Day' passes the Crofton Beam Pumping station near Bedwyn in Wiltshire. The Kennet and Avon canal adds to the scene. 20/07/20
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.
DI1 pulls into Osspiee Aggregates to spot their empties from Rochester. They ran to Dover as a local job today due to BODO never making it out of Boston. The weather forecast was crap all day so I didn't plan on going out, but near the end of my work day the sun started coming out so I chanced it. It made for a good afternoon.

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.
