Pretty Adirondack stream in the Moose River Plains. This is in more of an evergreen area so not much color today for autumn.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
#Baxterthesetter was well keen on bouncing around a lot during our short walk on Te Ahumairangi hill. I was pretty lucky to catch him posing so nicely. That tongue though, my goodness, it just goes on and on!
A few more photos from that day here
And more photos from his hooman here ... Mike Wilson

Black and white edit of a shot from November 2019. Enjoy!
Wishing you all a fabulous and safe weekend of photography! :)
Baxter wishes you all a Happy 2023!
He knows nothing of the problems of the world and so is happy in his moments, (specially when he has a stick to hold) - perhaps we all need a bit more of this attitude to spread around the world,...
What do dog noses have that humans don't? They possess up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, compared to about six million in us. And the part of a dog's brain that is devoted to analyzing smells is about 40 times greater than ours. Dogs also have something called neophilia, which means they are attracted to new and interesting odors.
Dogs possess a sense of smell many times more sensitive than even the most advanced man-made instrument. Powerful enough to detect substances at concentrations of one part per trillion—a single drop of liquid in 20 Olympic-size swimming pools. With training, dogs can sniff out bombs and drugs, pursue suspects, and find dead bodies. And more and more, they’re being used experimentally to detect human disease—cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis, and now, malaria—from smell alone.
Dogs' noses also function quite differently than our own. When we inhale, we smell and breathe through the same airways within our nose. When dogs inhale, a fold of tissue just inside their nostril helps to separate these two functions.
When we exhale through our nose, we send the spent air out the way it came in, forcing out any incoming odors. When dogs exhale, the spent air exits through the slits in the sides of their noses. The manner in which the exhaled air swirls out actually helps usher new odors into the dog's nose. More importantly, it allows dogs to sniff more or less continuously.
We can't wiggle our nostrils independently. Dogs can. This, along with the fact that the so-called aerodynamic reach of each of their nostrils is smaller than the distance between the nostrils, helps them to determine which nostril an odor arrived in. This aids them in locating the source of smells—we've all seen dogs on an interesting scent weave back and forth across its invisible trail.

"Vancouver's Marine Building was selected as the filming location for the Baxter Building due to its art deco appearance. In the 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the Baxter Building roof was the setting for Reed Richards and Susan Storm's wedding."
The Marine Building is the golden colored reflection.

L&N era Baxter Tower at Loyall Yard. This tower protected movements and the tower operator lined switches for train movements until approximately the 1930s when it was phased out and moved to the yardmasters office. Now present day the switches are all hand throws and traffic is a mere fraction of what it was on this for Louisville & Nashville Line.
CSX U722-09 passes Baxter Tower amidst a November downpour. L&N's Baxter tower protected the east end of Loyall yard and split of the Poor Fork branch until the 1930s. Traffic on the CV Sub is much more sparse these days. The U722-09 is running 2x1 with 110 empties for Resource.
U736 crosses the Cumberland River as it nears the junction with the Poor Fork Branch and Baxter tower.

Canid and candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I just loved this, so cute. I was going to ask her for a portrait and saw her pick up the pooch and opted for this candid instead. I thanked her afterwards, complimented her pooch and such a cute name and gave him a gentle scritch on the head. He loved it! Enjoy!
With a fresh crew aboard, empty coal buckets exit the yard in Loyall, Kentucky and pass the shuttered interlocking tower at Baxter on former L&N trackage. After a few miles of snaking through the Cumberland River valley, the crew would make a reverse move up the branch to Coalgood to make a few slow passes through the Creech loadout.
This oldie worldy shop is part of the Baxter's Community. Baxter's is famous for it's tinned soup, jams and pickles.
January 14, 1993: B23-7 3124 (formerly L&N 5125) leads the Second Mine Run past the venerable tower at Baxter, Kentucky. The crew is almost home, having spent the predawn hours working the Martins Fork Branch.

CSX P001 is just miles away from their destination of Louisville and the 151st Kentucky Derby. They are passing the remnants of the abandoned 1931-built L&N Baxter Avenue elevated station. The station building itself was right in front of the camera with platforms extending both directions, and tracks on both sides. Now, it's just a homeless camp.
When the light makes you forget about the 5,269-foot mountain you planned to photograph that towers over this scene.
