While the strong winds were making it hard for me to hold the camouflage tent and also take photos, there were some benefits as well. The Bee-eaters could barely land on the perches and they would constantly move to try to balance. This gave me the opportunity to get photos like this one.
My husband and I took a walk through the wildflowers and weeds. We both experienced a relaxed and open mind, as well as a sense of euphoria. Very beneficial!

Centennial 6936 is accompanied by the Rock Island Heritage locomotive on the head of the "City of Bureau Jct." Running as IAIS Train RRHMA 21, the special has the hammer down past the Rock Island Depot at Geneseo on the IAIS Blue Island Sub. on its eastbound leg of a round trip out of Silvis via Bureau Jct.
The weekend of September 20-21 marked the first mainline outing for equipment owned by Railroading Heritage of Midwest America in the form of two round trips; the "City of Wilton" on Saturday the 20th, which ran from Silvis to South Amana, IA and return, and today's trip the "City of Bureau Jct." from Silvis to Bureau, IL and back on Sunday the 21st. These specials were operated in conjunction with the Iowa Interstate Railroad over their trackage, and served as fundraisers benefiting non-profits like the Central States Steam Preservation Association, and Operation Lifesaver, Inc.
6936 is an EMD DDA40X, and is the the world's largest operating diesel locomotive. Part of a class of 47 locomotives built for Union Pacific between 1969 and 1971, they featured two separate diesel prime movers on one frame, for a total of 6,600 horsepower providing electricity for 8 traction motors across a pair of 4 axle trucks.
The first units built showed up in May 1969 just before UP's Golden Spike Ceremony 100th anniversary in Utah. Being numbered in the 6900's and their timely delivery led to their "Centennial" nickname. This unit was part of the second group built, arriving in January 1971, builder number 35510, frame number 7198-12. Railroaders on the UP once referred to them as "Big Jacks", a term that has since turned into a bit of a misnomer that refers to the respectable, but not nearly as large or powerful freight units that succeeded them in everyday service in the United States.
The engine made its last revenue run May 6, 1985, and was saved for special service by UP. After about 25 years pulling railfan excursions, assisting the operating steam locomotives, display events, Operation Lifesaver Specials, providing power for executive inspections, officer special trips, business trains, and additional company service, the locomotive was used sparingly after 2008 until 2016, and donated to the RRHMA by Union Pacific in late 2022 with several other pieces of historic equipment.
After 14 years, this was the locomotive's long-awaited return to the mainline leading a train, having pulled its last business train in 2011, pulling some of the same UP cars it once moved in heritage fleet service followed by former PRR P70 coaches provided by IAIS.
Railroading Heritage of Midwest America is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote public understanding of the history of railroading in the Midwest. RRHMA accomplishes this goal by preserving, restoring, operating, and interpreting historic locomotives and railcars.
RRHMA is based in Silvis, Illinois in the former Rock Island shop complex. Once home to a 45 stall roundhouse, backshop, office building, power house, water treatment plant, and storehouse. Construction started in 1903, and the site was the Rock's primary shop until the 1980 shutdown. Afterwards the site was sold to Chrome Crankshaft, which later passed to National Railway Equipment. In 2022, RRHMA purchased the complex from NRE. It is now home to UP 5511, UP 3985, UP 6936, IAIS 6988, ATSF 537, and numerous rolling stock, all in various stages of restoration.

De NH Industries NH90 is een Europese middelgrote, tweemotorige, multifunctionele militaire helikopter. Het was de eerste productiehelikopter met een volledig fly-by-wire vluchtbesturing.
Dankzij een relatie bij de Koninklijke Marine mocht ik een dag meevaren op het luchtverdedigings- en commandofregat de Zeven Provincien. Onderdeel van deze dag was ondermeer een demontratie van de luchtmacht, met haar NH 90 Helicopter, op volle zee, Het weer was niet zo fraai, maar dat kwam de setting eigenlijk alleen maar ten goede....

Chiffchaffs breed widely in Britain & Ireland, apart from on the highest ground. In recent years, this species has been expanding its breeding range north into Scotland, with BTO research suggesting it is benefitting from climatic warming in that part of the UK. Breeding Chiffchaff numbers have also risen in the UK in recent decades, especially in Scotland, although there is some indication that this trend is now levelling off. In autumn, many breeding Chiffchaffs depart for southern Europe and North Africa, but increasing numbers are staying for the winter months. They are among the earliest singers in the breeding season, being heard from February onwards. (BTO).
My thanks to anyone who views, faves or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.
Surely once a stately home, 119 Benefit Street in the city's historic College Hill is today a beautifully detailed apartment building. Providence, Rhode Island, USA.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. No sunglasses needed when you wear a cap, it makes eye contact so much easier! Enjoy!
I know it's hard, but can you remember moments like this when you were young?? For even us old crusty guys, the weak memories hidden way back there...
Now that we have that... remember, go and do likewise... our children need us to create this moment for their future reflections!!

Class 166 diesel multiple unit No. 166215 descends the Filton Bank in Bristol with 1F17, the 12:30 Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour service on Tuesday 13th April 2021.
The four-tracking of the Filton Bank, first proposed in 2012, was completed in 2019. Of course in reality this project saw the reinstatement of the two tracks that were removed in the 1980s as an economy measure. A desire to increase capacity on this busy section of line combined with other operational benefits justified the scheme.
With any luck missed connections at Temple Meads due to being stuck behind a stopping train on the Filton Bank - something that has happened to me more than once - will be a rarity in the future.

Benefit footwear shop at No. 47 Yorkshire Street, Greater Manchester, dated August 1953 ( SD8911365B1 ) more detail on this van from smallcarsclub.com
When it first appeared in 1938, the French built New•Map Microcar made by the well-known motorcycle manufacturer. During the mid 1950s, New•Map produced a range of scooters as well as the three-wheeled Solyto utility truck. These vehicles were built at the sheet-metal division of New•Map and were called the Societe Lyonnaise de Tolerie – hence the odd name. By the early 1970s, the Solyto TC_7 was being offered in three body styles. And exported to many countries, The van was quite small, 4½ feet tall, 4¼ feet wide, 8 feet long and weighing approximately 330 pounds. Despite the archaic design its production continued from 1952 until 1974

We're putting Wyoming's wild horses on the map.
You've heard all the news: roundups, removals, helicopters, holding corrals. It's been a tough couple of years. We have not forgotten the horses taken from their homes, but there are still mustangs living free on public land, and we cannot afford to let them go unseen.
We know from experience ... horses in unvisited places tend to vanish ... so we are working to design and publish a map. Proceeds from this event will help us create a user-friendly guide to the mustang herds of Wyoming.
We say, "Love them or lose them!"

WALNEY LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1790, AND POSITIONED AT HAWS POINT ON THE ISLAND. ITS PURPOSE WAS TO IMPROVE THE NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER LUNE AND ACT AS A GUIDE FOR CARGO SHIPS FROM THE WEST INDIES BOUND FOR THE GLASSON DOCKS. THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS NOT BUILT TO BENEFIT BARROW, AS IT WAS ONLY A SMALL FISHING COMMUNITY AT THIS TIME.
THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUILT OF STONE QUARRIED FROM OVERTON IN LANCASHIRE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE SITE BY SHIP. THE OCTAGONAL TOWER IS 70 FEET HIGH AND RESTS ON A CIRCULAR FOUNDATION 20 FEET 6 INCHES IN DIAMETER. THERE ARE 91 STEPS UP TO THE TOP OF THE LIGHTHOUSE. THE ORIGINAL LIGHT WAS AN ARGENT BURNER, A TYPE OF PARAFFIN LAMP.
IN 1909 AN ACETYLENE GASLIGHT SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED WHICH FLASHED AT ONE MINUTE INTERVALS. IN 1953 THIS WAS REPLACED WITH AN ELECTRIC LIGHT WHICH FLASHES AT 15 SECOND INTERVALS. THE NEW LIGHT IS 30 TIMES MORE POWERFUL (450,000 CANDLE POWER) AND HAS A RANGE OF 18 MILES COMPARED TO 13 MILES OF ITS GAS PREDECESSOR. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT WAS FIRST POWERED BY ITS OWN GENERATOR, NOT BEING CONNECTED TO THE NATIONAL GRID UNTIL 1969. THIS GUIDING LIGHT CAN EVEN BE SEEN FROM BLACKPOOL.
ATTACHED TO THE LIGHTHOUSE ARE TWO HOUSES IN WHICH THE KEEPER AND STAFF LIVE. THESE HOUSES WERE ORIGINALLY ONE HOUSE, WHICH WAS BUILT FOR THE FIRST FULL-TIME KEEPER. THE HOUSE WAS DIVIDED INTO TWO IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY. AT THIS TIME THE LIGHTHOUSE’S ONLY WATER SOURCE CAME FROM THE RAIN AND THE ONLY LIGHTING CAME FROM CANDLES.
DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR, THE HOUSE WAS USED AS AN OFFICERS' MESS WHEN 170 SOLDIERS WERE ENCAMPED AT THE LIGHTHOUSE AS PART OF THE COASTAL DEFENCE NETWORK. IN 1946 14 PRISONERS OF WAR WERE MOVED INTO THE CAMP. THEY DID ODD JOBS AROUND THE LIGHTHOUSE IN RETURN FOR CIGARETTES AND FOOD. THE REMAINS OF THE BARRACKS ARE STILL VISIBLE.
TODAY THE LIGHTHOUSE IS RUN BY THE PORT OF LANCASTER COMMISSIONERS AND CONTAINS A RADIO BEACON FOR TRINITY HOUSE, FORMING A MAJOR LINK IN THE BRITISH COASTGUARD SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTHOUSE IS NO LONGER OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, IT CAN BE VIEWED FROM THE OUTSIDE.
