Formerly leased to the the San Luis & Rio Grande, CEFX 116 now finds itself on NSM hauling taconite in Minnesota. Not much you can do for nose light on the returning morning train but it was worth an attempt at milepost 5.
There is a legend in Austria about black cats and wine. It goes like this...once upon a time a servant was always sneaking into the wine cellar to drink from the barrel of the best wine. The owner of the wine set a black cat upon the barrel to scare away the servant. So, it became a tradition in wine cellars to find a black cat sitting on the best barrel. This black cat statue is in the Loisium Wine Cellar tour in Langenlois, Austria. (very dark in those tunnels).
Another version of the legend is that fermenting wine creates heat and the cats like to sit on the warm barrel. The warmest barrel has the sweetest wine.
Cheers! Zum Wohl!

''...Mi dispiace, ma io non voglio fare l’imperatore non è il mio mestiere. Non voglio governare né conquistare nessuno. Vorrei aiutare tutti se possibile: ebrei, ariani, uomini neri e bianchi. Tutti noi esseri umani dovremmo aiutarci sempre, dovremmo godere soltanto della felicità del prossimo. Non odiarci e disprezzarci l’un l’altro. In questo mondo c’è posto per tutti. La natura è ricca e sufficiente per tutti noi. La vita può essere felice e magnifica, ma noi l’abbiamo dimenticato. L’avidità ha avvelenato i nostri cuori, fatto precipitare il mondo nell'odio, ci ha condotti a passo d’oca fra le cose più abiette. Abbiamo i mezzi per spaziare, ma ci siamo chiusi in noi stessi. La macchina dell’abbondanza ci ha dato povertà, la scienza ci ha trasformati in cinici, l’abilità ci ha resi duri e cattivi. Pensiamo troppo e sentiamo poco. Più che macchinari ci serve umanità, più che abilità ci serve bontà e gentilezza. Senza queste qualità la vita è violenza e tutto è perduto. L’aviazione e la radio hanno riavvicinato le genti, la natura stessa di queste invenzioni reclama la bontà nell'uomo, reclama la fratellanza universale. L’unione dell’umanità. Persino ora la mia voce raggiunge milioni di persone nel mondo. Milioni di uomini, donne e bambini disperati, vittime di un sistema che impone agli uomini di torturare e imprigionare gente innocente. A coloro che mi odono io dico: non disperate! L’avidità che ci comanda è solamente un male passeggero. L’amarezza di uomini che temono le vie del progresso umano. L’odio degli uomini scompare insieme ai dittatori. E il potere che hanno tolto al popolo, ritornerà al popolo. E qualsiasi mezzo usino, la libertà non può essere soppressa. Soldati! Non cedete a dei bruti, uomini che vi disprezzano e vi sfruttano, che vi dicono come vivere, cosa fare, cosa dire, cosa pensare, che vi irregimentano, vi condizionano, vi trattano come bestie! Non vi consegnate a questa gente senza un’anima! Uomini macchina con macchine al posto del cervello e del cuore. Ma voi non siete macchine! Voi non siete bestie! Siete uomini! Voi avete l’amore dell’umanità nel cuore. Voi non odiate. Coloro che odiano sono solo quelli che non hanno l’amore altrui. Soldati, non difendete la schiavitù, ma la libertà! Ricordate che nel Vangelo di Luca è scritto: «Il Regno di Dio è nel cuore dell’Uomo». Non di un solo uomo o di un gruppo di uomini ma di tutti gli uomini. Voi, il popolo, avete la forza di creare le macchine, la forza di creare la felicità. Voi, il popolo, avete la forza di fare che la vita sia bella e libera. Di fare di questa vita una splendida avventura. Quindi in nome della democrazia, usiamo questa forza. Uniamoci tutti! Combattiamo per un mondo nuovo, che sia migliore che dia a tutti gli uomini lavoro, ai giovani un futuro, ai vecchi la sicurezza. Promettendovi queste cose dei bruti sono andati al potere. Mentivano! Non hanno mantenuto quelle promesse e mai lo faranno. I dittatori forse sono liberi perché rendono schiavo il popolo. Allora combattiamo per mantenere quelle promesse. Combattiamo per liberare il mondo eliminando confini e barriere, eliminando l’avidità, l’odio e l’intolleranza. Combattiamo per un mondo ragionevole. Un mondo in cui la scienza e il progresso diano a tutti gli uomini il benessere. Soldati! Nel nome della democrazia siate tutti uniti!
.......................
Hannah, puoi sentirmi? Dovunque tu sia, abbi fiducia. Guarda in alto, Hannah! Le nuvole si diradano: comincia a splendere il Sole. Prima o poi usciremo dall'oscurità, verso la luce e vivremo in un mondo nuovo. Un mondo più buono in cui gli uomini si solleveranno al di sopra della loro avidità, del loro odio, della loro brutalità. Guarda in alto, Hannah! L'animo umano troverà le sue ali, e finalmente comincerà a volare, a volare sull'arcobaleno verso la luce della speranza, verso il futuro. Il glorioso futuro che appartiene a te, a me, a tutti noi. Guarda in alto Hannah, lassù...''
(Dal film ''il Grande Dittatore)

Best of Friends_The Fox and the Hound
When you're the best of friends
Having so much fun together
You're not even aware you're such a funny pair
You're the best of friends
Life's a happy game
You could clown around forever
Neither one of you see's your natural bondaries
Life's one happy game
If only the world wouldn't get in your way
If only people would just let you play
They'd say you're both being fools
You're breaking all the rules
They can't understand
The magic of your wonderland
When you're the best of friends
Sharing all that you discover
When these moments have passed
Will that friendship last
Who can't say there's a way
Oh, I hope
I hope it never ends
'Cause you're the best of friends

Ordonné prêtre à Paris en 1685, Jean-Baptiste Labat poursuit des études scientifiques à Nancy.
En 1693, il est volontaire et part comme missionnaire avec l'autorisation des responsables de l'ordre des dominicains aux Antilles. Le 29 janvier 1694, il débarque en Martinique. Il rejoint ses pères à la paroisse de Macouba, où il travaille pendant deux ans à développer la paroisse et construit de nombreux édifices. En 1696, il voyage en Guadeloupe et en Dominique puis est nommé procureur syndic des îles d'Amérique à son retour en Martinique.
Il visite les Antilles françaises, néerlandaises et anglaises de Grenade à Hispaniola. Dans ses récits, rédigés en 1698, il évoque de nombreux aspects de la société caribéenne dont l'esclavage colonial. Il est lui-même un fervent défenseur de l'esclavage et possède des esclaves. Il décrit les conditions de vie des esclaves martiniquais et leur passion pour la danse. Il est également le témoin privilégié d'un autre aspect de cette société, la flibuste, pour laquelle ses écrits sont une source d'une grande importance.
Il fonde l'exploitation sucrière de Fonds-Saint-Jacques à Sainte-Marie en Martinique, et les paroisses de Le Robert et Le François (appelées cul-de-sac Robert et cul-de-sac François dans Nouveau Voyage aux Isles Françoises de l'Amérique). Il aide à développer et moderniser l'industrie de la canne à sucre dans les Antilles françaises. Il assiste le botaniste Charles Plumier dans son travail quand celui-ci séjourne aux Antilles, même s'il[Qui ?] jugeait la mission que lui a confié Louis XIV plus qu'inutile. Il fortifie et prépare la défense de la Guadeloupe (dont il reste la tour du Père-Labat) puis prend part au combat lors de l'attaque britannique de l'île en 1704. Il est nommé vice-préfet apostolique la même année.
En 1706, il rentre en Europe et est nommé en Italie ou il entreprend la rédaction du célèbre Nouveau Voyage aux isles Françoises de l'Amérique à partir des notes journalières qu'il avait prises toutes ces années durant. Il tente d'organiser son retour aux Amériques mais n'obtient jamais l'autorisation de sa hiérarchie. Il réside à Paris en 1716, dans le couvent de la rue Saint-Honoré où il exerce les fonctions d’agent du Maître général de l’Ordre jusqu'à sa mort1
Ordained priest in Paris in 1685, Jean-Baptiste Labat pursued scientific studies in Nancy.
In 1693, he volunteered and left as a missionary with the authorization of the officials of the Dominican order in the Antilles. On January 29, 1694, he landed in Martinique. He joined his fathers in the parish of Macouba, where he worked for two years to develop the parish and built many buildings. In 1696, he traveled to Guadeloupe and Dominica then was appointed syndical prosecutor of the American islands on his return to Martinique.
He visits the French, Dutch and English West Indies from Grenada to Hispaniola. In his stories, written in 1698, he evokes many aspects of Caribbean society, including colonial slavery. He is himself a staunch defender of slavery and has slaves. It describes the living conditions of Martinican slaves and their passion for dancing. He is also the privileged witness of another aspect of this society, the flibust, for which his writings are a source of great importance.

(Continuation. Please see the previous images and the story at the Sitting on Top of the World album if you feel like that).
Recently I finished shoveling my mail from the present into the deep past. I’ve abandoned it because of the summertime. As well as my job, which have this big advantage – I can let myself that. I’ll just have far less money. I’m ok with it. But piling notifications wearing on me. I disable them when possible. Wouldn’t do it there. After the outbreak of war I relocated from virtual Russia (”relocation” is one of the most popular words in Russia now; I couldn’t do it physically because of my wife’s mother and now I’m grateful that I didn’t; there is something in the eye of the cyclone). I’ve almost abandoned our national social network VK (and for good measure insta and FB, which is another story). What’s the point in the social network, where you couldn’t speak freely without the perspective to lose your physical freedom? Flickr now is probably the only platform which I take seriously. My Russian friends and some Russian photographers are reading me there. So, now, without piled notifications, I could continue with this series.
By the way, what do you think about replying to comments? I’m trying to do this and feel guilty about delaying. Even though I don’t understand those copipasted group comments with the pictures. Because any feedback seems important to me as an artist. I feel that my art needs to resonate in any form. If it needn’t to others, why bother?
(To be continued…)
And the award for the best supporting act goes to........
37716 and 37422 outside York Thrall (Holgate) during the evening on Sat 16th December 2023.
These are 2 out of a total of 5 Class 37’s that were included in the line up, following the end of the locomotives use on the 2023 railhead treatment trains based at York. I feel a bit mean referring to these 2 as a mere supporting act. They were of course much more than that, although it's probably fair to say that the majority of attention went the way of the other 3.
The photo shoot was organised by the well respected Network Rail Director Chris Gee, and involved a huge amount of detailed preparation and organisation amongst both DRS and Network Rail, as well as numerous individuals. It was a great success and all of the proceeds raised (£3,000.00) will be donated to Martin House Hospice.
"My best friend left three days ago. The only 2 things I have changed are my mind and my hair. Do you know what it feels like to miss someone? It feels like when you have some catnip and then you don't have any catnip. Yep, it hurts that much."
gemma and her best friend....separated by 18mths and a whole lot of ocean and still as close as ever :)
I wish a certain someone was looking at me! ;)
Best wishes to all my Flickr Contacts.

My image for Egyptian pyramids at night taken at Mokattam mountain in Cairo.
Foreground was a stack of around 14 images ( different exposure times and iso values) with canon lens 100-400 mm to form HDR image with multi row focus to reveal the details as much as possible especially for the pyramids which are located in very light polluted area.
I waited for the best time to take these images and follow with weather forecast to see the day which has the lowest dust concentration in air and best air quality to shoot the pyramids from this very far distance ( around 20 km).
For the sky image its a stack of 20 images at 5 seconds ISO 200. by canon 200 D camera.
For the comet Leonard its a stack of 120 images at 30 seconds gain 120 by ZWO 294 mm pro.
