Amazing light over the ocean at the approach of São Jorge, the Island from the Azores Archipelago, famous about his fajãs
The island is volcanic in character with steep cliffs running down to the sea. The fajãs are small areas of flat land by the sea caused by the collapse of cliffs. The fajãs are fertile and used for growing many plants including yams, maize and vegetables. It is possible to grow coffee, vineyards, tropical fruits and dragon trees in some of them.

From a distance it doesn't look that impressive, but wait till you see the interior. A mile downstream from Vasey's Paradise, Redwall Cavern is a river-meander cave in Marble Canyon that's a must-see on any raft trip.
From Tillicoultry to Alloa the line was double track as can be seen here by the width of the bridges.
A nice approaching warm front (weather system) behind the old water pump at the new Giesbeekse water pumping installation.
The pump is an outdated version of modern pumps being used and it is displayed at the current water pumping facilitiy.
The facility prevents over flooding from the lakes and streams around Giesbeek by pumping excess of water to other streams nearby.
A staple of Carl Franz trips is to have a runby with photographers (safely positioned) inside the 900 - foot long Brush Tunnel, getting everybody FILTHY in the process. It's a lot of fun - once. Here the 734 is approaching.
This particular Monday afternoon, the wind was really blowing out on the plains. Most of the day, the winds were at least 30 MPH sustained, and that number often got up to 40-50 MPH. Fortunately, it wasn't too cold, but the wind was a bit of a challenge. Evidence of the wind is quite clear in this shot of this NKCR manifest pulling into the east end of Holyoke (pronounced "hole-ee-oak"). A long piece of plastic wrap got stuck on the coupler of OMLX 419, and it is blowing wildly in the wind.

When trackside, one can often tell at a quick glance the heritage of the trackage they may be on, usually by looking at the signaling system. Three color traffic light style signals usually mean C&O; small, round, yellow position light signals signify the PRR; small, round and colored position light signals were the B&O. These signals gave character and originality to the railroad and set it apart from the others.
With the ever encroaching demand to make railroading safer and reduce the amount of derailments caused by human error, the addition of Positive Train Control (PTC) has all but eliminated any originality from the railroading industry. Because this new technology is not compatible with the old, the old needs to make way for the new.
The old was still putting in its working hours one beautiful October day as southbound Norfolk Southern manifest train 37Q passed through the small village of Shenandoah Junction, WV on its way to Knoxville. The new stand for the signal bridge can be seen standing in the background while the old bracket mast signals still stand, clearly showing this line's former Norfolk & Western heritage.

I received nearly 3/4-inch of rain in about 1 hour.
As the storm continued to intensify, some areas downwind of me received over 2 inches of rain.

Rooftop travel is a common practice on the Gwalior Light Railway. The interiors of this 2ft narrow gauge train fails to accomodate the all the passengers, hence rooftop welcomes them.
We too, after hanging out from the door of the overcrowded train till Motijheel, decided to climb up as the locals suggested.
Seen here is the 52171 Gwalior - Sheopur Kalan Passenger approaching Bamour Gaon station.

As we approached Og Meadows, the early morning alpine light was just starting to cut through the night's clouds to create this magical landscape. We were on the part of the Great Divide Trail leaving the Lake Magog Campground and Mount Assiniboine area. A female grizzly with two cubs was spotted here yesterday, so we made lots of noise as we hiked through this pass. Always great times in the Rockies. Assiniboine Provincial Park, BC, Canada.
