A picture depicting the aftermath of the development. The sand dunes and all its vegetation and habitat are now gone and all that is left are level lots for development. Its a barren scene but hauntingly beautiful in its own way. Poignant even.
The continuing work on the Ocean Reef Marina. I love the colours and the Heavy machinery shapes on this sunny day. The dust and exhaust add to the feel of the situation.
The summer MOW season is in full swing along the Ottumwa Sub as BNSF M OTMOTM6 06T rolls west through the crossovers at Beckwith, Iowa behind an ES44DC, passing a sand train holding back at the signal. The crew is heading back towards Ottumwa after a day of dropping ties along the main using the two backhoe loaders sitting in the cars at the head end.

They're making a helluva racket on Richmond St. over the past few months, laying some sort of jumbo plumbing. They dig, lay pipe, put in temporary plates and asphalt, then return in a month to dig it up again and do some other kinda thing. I'm sure there's a method to the madness but when you're trying to listen or talk in a meeting, it can feel like giant sand worms are burrowing through the street - sometimes the whole house shakes! This gear was occupying our usual parking spot one morning.
Loved the way the sunset light hit this backhoe while the skies in the background were still dark and moody from recent rain.

This attaches to my Bobcat track loader. I removed it from an early 1950's Case tractor, then adapted it to the the track loader via a quick attachment plate and two quick release hydraulic hose fittings. There was a section with two hydraulic cylinders, where the attachment plate is now, that raised and lowered the unit when on the tractor. It is not needed now as the loader's lift arms do that job. The triangular frame serves as the base (outrigger) for stability when in use.

An ice and snow covered backhoe at the entrance to a new development on Allentown Road in Bristol Wednesday after a mixture of wet snow and freezing rain overnight.
A little change of pace, a piece of machinery, as we leave St Germain de Calberte on what was to be our last day of walking the Chemin de Stevenson.
