It's time for the new guard to start his shift and his first train is the diverted, via North Weald, Brighton to Cardiff. Seen during an EMRPS photo charter at the Epping & Ongar railway.
We spotted two of this extremely endangered species feeding in dry grassland of Tso Kar. They were at least 100 yards away from us, when they started giving warning calls as we were trying to approach further for a close-up shot. I was really missing at least a 400 mm prime lens, and my 18-105 Nikon was not enough to reach them. Black-necked cranes breed in Ladakh and they are the state birds of Jammu and Kashmir
On 13th October, at 11.30 am we set our journey for Tso Kar and moved north-west of Tso Moriri. It took almost three hours to reach Tso Kar. I was simply awestruck at the first sight of it, by its wilderness and rustic landscape. It was late afternoon, at around 2:42 p.m and sun rays from above stretched their arms towards the barren ground, illuminating each corners, thus depicting awesome beauty. Large stretches of white clouds were floating against the deep azure waters of Tso kar, the shade of blue that I had never seen before. We were in a hurry as we had to reach our camp site before sunset, but such pretty landscape and heavenly environment drove me and my friend to soak the environment for a few minutes. I took a few shots, ones which were a few standout shots of this trip.
The smallest of the three high altitude lakes in Ladakh , Tso Kar is known for its scenic beauty and the wide variety of wildlife it supports. It is a fluctuating salt lake of Oligotropic type, situated in the Rupshu Plateau and valley in the southern part of Ladakh . It has one primary inflow (Pholokongka Chu) and no primary outflow. It is named Tso Kar or the ‘White Lake’ due to the immense amount of salts and borax that get deposited on the banks of the lake. It is the highest brackish water lake in India. Surrounded with mountains, the lake is a sight to watch and wonder. Very few people come to visit this lake unlike Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri.
The Tso Kar is connected by an inlet stream at its south-west end to a small lake, Startsapuk Tso, and together they form the 9 km2 More plains pool, which is dominated by the peaks of two mountains, Thugje (6050 m) and Gursan (6370 m). From the geology of the More Plains, it can be concluded that the Tso Kar in historical times ranged up to this high valley. Until a few years ago the lake was an important source of salt, which the Changpa nomads used to export to Tibet. The nomadic settlement of Thugje is located 3 km in the north. There is a tented camp on the west bank of the lake which provides accommodation for tourists. Due to the high altitude, the climate is extreme in the winter; temperatures below -40 °C are not uncommon.
It is about 250 km southeast of Leh and around 50 km from Tso Moriri.
Max length- 7.5 km
max width- 2.3 km
Surface elevation- 14,860ft.
The marshlands surrounding the lake supports an amazing array of bird lives. The common birds that are seen are Brahminy ducks, bar headed geese, great crested grebe, brown-headed gulls, and some strip geese, rust geese, Tibetan grouse and terns.
The main attraction, however, is the black necked crane. The black necked cranes, known for their fidelity, come to Tso Kar for laying eggs. The sight of the bird, with a wingspan of almost 8 ft, taking off is an amazing sight to witness against the backdrop of green or golden meadows and the mountains.
Tso Kar also sustains other wildlife too. The most common mammals here are the Kiangs (the largest of the wild asses). It’s not an exaggeration to say that Tso Kar is the best place to see Kiangs.
The nomads that inhabit the nearby regions make a living from collecting the salt from the banks of the lake and selling it to surrounding regions.
BEST PLACES TO STAY IN TSO KAR LAKE
Tso Kar has the option of night camping although the number of tents isn’t large. But it would be better to make a booking in Leh just to be safe. The tents are on the west end of the lake near the Manali-Leh road about three km from the lake.
Accommodation options are easily available at Leh. There are a number of hotels to suit almost every pocket or preference.
BEST PLACES TO EAT IN TSO KAR LAKE
Food is available in the tents that are set about three km from the lake. The food there is very basic and there are no other shops so to be safe carry some packed food with you.
BEST TIME TO VISIT TSO KAR.
The best time to visit Tso Kar Lake is from May to June. During Jun -July the meadows remain green. From mid-September to end of October they turn golden.

Waiting for his train, Goathland Railway Station, England, Autumn 1938
( thanks to Jeff Wharton for waiting room photo and Lesley Doubleday for waiting gentleman photo also to RBH for “man in the office” )
A reshoot of one of my very early photos...I originally shot this long ago with a lower quality camera (3.1 MP) and wanted a denser shot. It is amazing how it is basically unchanged over the past 6-7 years.
Forgive the poor quality, but this is a rare, rare picture of the booking hall at Gainsborough Central Station in Lincolnshire, taken on 14th September, 1974. Rare, because the station was demolished in 1977 to save costs, though it is still open, (just), with a "Parliamentary", Saturdays only train service. The beautiful station buildings were built for the MS&LR in 1845, and were the work of Sheffield based architects, Hadfield & Weightman. By the time this photo was taken, the booking hall windows were out of use, and the place looked like the interior of a Victorian slum.
At one time this was a busy - very busy - station, and both of these windows would have been needed at peak times. Now, one is moved to wonder if the station will ever see the return of a regular weekday train service.

MUNDIAL RUSIA 2018- GRUPO E: BRASIL, SUIZA, COSTA RICA Y SERBIA
MAMUTRIP quiere que conozcamos juntos los lugares desde donde viene cada selección participante de este Mundial de Futbol. Hoy conoceremos las que integran el Grupo E: Brasil, Suiza, Costa Rica y Serbia.
En BRASIL muy cerca de Río de Janeiro está Arraial do Cabo, conocida por tener la arena más blanca de toda la región. Uno de sus puntos a favor, es que se encuentra muy cerca de Búzios y Cabo Frío, por lo que se torna ideal para quienes gustan recorrer ciudades vecinas y no quedarse quietos. Sus playas son como pequeñas ensenadas, rodeadas de morros cubiertos de vegetación y cerradas al mar abierto, formando piscinas naturales gigantescas, perfectas para los aficionados del buceo.
SUIZA tiene un lugar conocido mundialmente por su festival de jazz y ese lugar es Montreux sinónimo de hogar de la música. Está situado en las orillas del lago de Ginebra, en el corazón de la Riviera suiza, la ciudad es considerada el paseo más hermoso de Suiza. Salpicadas de palmeras y rodeado de viñedos, la propiedad ha inspirado a muchos artistas y escritores, entre ellos Delacroix y Courbet, Jean-Jacques Rousseau y Lord Byron.
En COSTA RICA podemos visitar el Parque Nacional Volcán Arenal y La Fortuna, que solía ser uno de los volcanes más activos de Costa Rica. El Arenal sigue siendo sin duda un hermoso espectáculo para la vista. La Fortuna, es un pequeño pueblo cerca de la base del majestuoso volcán espectacular belleza. Mientras permanezcamos aquí no hay que dejar de visitar las maravillosas Aguas Termales, un paraíso tropical donde podemos relajar mente y cuerpo.
El tren de más famosos de SERBIA es el Šargan Eight, es un tren histórico de trocha angosta (760 mm) y locomotora a vapor que debe su nombre a la figura que forman las vías vistas desde el cielo. Un ocho entre las montañas que une el pequeño pueblo de Mokra Gora con la estación de Šargan Vitasi. Ya de por sí, el proyecto es singular: la idea de un trazado con esta figura sirvió para sortear los 300 m de diferencia entre las estaciones. Pero más allá de esta particularidad, su historia está rodeada de mitos.

Penola.
Penola is centrally situated - being roughly 50km from Mt Gambier, Naracoorte, Millicent and Casterton and it is a district of pastoralists and swamps. The great pastoralists of the district prevented the growth of small-scale agriculture in the 19th century and the town population grew very slowly. The district known as Penola was first squatted on before 1840 by Solomon, Josiah and Thomas Austin at Yallum Park. The site was probably selected by their agent John Bowden. The first settlers, as opposed to squatters, were Scottish born Alexander Cameron and his wife Margaret, nee MacKillop, who in 1845 obtained an occupation licence to lease the land. The pastoralists had licenses and from 1851 formal leaseholds of the lands. At that time the proforma lease documents noted the natives had prerogatives to “full and free ingress to the springs and surface water thereon…and they may….use, occupy, dwell on and obtain food and water thereon….” These rights however were extinguished in the 1860s when land was surveyed and sold with freehold title. (Penola and Coonawarra from Foundation to Federation by Peter Rymill 2017, page 65/66.) But as a pioneer with a land license Alexander Cameron built the first house in Penola - Cameron Cottage in 1845 which is now behind the Catholic Church. Margaret’s niece Mary MacKillop lived with them in the cottage for some time as a governess to their children from 1860 to 1862. By the 1860s Cameron had an estate of around 50,000 freehold acres. Other settlers like the Gladstone’s and Duncan Cameron lived in the district in the 1840s also.
In April 1850 Alexander Cameron obtained eighty acres of freehold land and established the private town of Panoola, later known as Penola. He set aside several blocks for the use of the community, including a market square and blocks for churches to be built on at a later stage. The plan for the town was drawn in 1858. Alexander Cameron was born in 1810 in Scotland and overlanded his first sheep to South Australia from NSW. In 1848 Duncan Cameron (no relation to Alexander Cameron) became the original licensee of the Royal Oak Hotel. He did a roaring trade during the early 1850s when thousands of men from Adelaide travelled to the Victorian goldfields via Penola. Adam Lindsay Gordon the writer became the police trooper in Penola from 1854-56. The Royal oak Hotel was rebuilt in 1872. Apart from the two Cameron men the first residents were Christopher Sharam, a boot maker and his wife Ellen who had fifteen children. A post office was constructed in 1857 and in the early days religious services were held in the local courtroom with the Presbyterians being the first to make use of this facility. The Reverend Mark Dixon was the first Presbyterian clergyman from 1856 until 1864. The Catholics started with a wooden church in 1858. Their first resident priest was Father Powell who also had established a school in 1855 in Penola. Michael O'Grady had charge of 40 students in his private school. The best-known school was opened in 1866 by the red haired Gaelic speaking Mary MacKillop, the co-founder of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart. Scottish born Mary lived 1842-1909. She was greatly assisted by Father Tenison Woods of Mt Gambier who encouraged her and had her take her vows to be a nun in 1867. Mary established her second school in Adelaide before setting up the order around Australia. By the time of her death in 1909 in Sydney she presided over 223 school and charitable institutions. She became the first Australian to be made a Catholic Saint in 2010. A new stone school room and residence was built in Penola in 1867 for Mary Mackillop and it which still stands. Saint Mary MacKillop started teaching in this school room. A new stone Catholic Church, called St Joseph’s was completed in 1865 at a cost of £1,000. Most of this money had come from the wealthy Catholic Highland Scots of the district. The other buildings on this site include the later Catholic Church built in 1924 with its modern curved glass shrine to Saint Mary MacKillop. Behind the church is the old Convent built in 1872. Next to the old buildings is the modern 1998 Mary MacKillop Interpretive Centre with the lake in front of it. It includes considerable information on Father Tension Woods too. The site also includes a replica of Alexander Cameron’s first wooden cottage.
The Church of England's Saint Mary's church was completed in 1873 and consecrated in 1887. George Dickson the son of the pioneer of Maaoupe station commission the stained glass window above the altar in memory of his parents after their deaths in the 1880s. Across the road from the Church is the Anglican Parish hall was built in simple Gothic style in 1899. Near the little park which was part of Alexander Cameron’s original town plan is the old Mechanics Institute building which is now the Information Centre. It was built in 1869 with classical Greek architectural features. Opposite it is the former Foresters Hall built in 1873. It is a small building with two rounded windows and a small pediment a cross the roof line. Next to the Riddoch Centre is the grand Presbyterian Church built in 1870. It has Gothic arches, buttresses and a fine bell tower which was added in 1906. The first government school was completed in 1879 but located a fair distance from the Main Street. Petticoat Lane, the oldest street of Penola, retains much historical charm. Red gum kerbing as well as rose and lavender plantings enhance the lane’s character. It is a State Heritage Area. Back in the Main Street at an historic crossroad is the original Georgian style Post Office built in 1876 and across the road from it is the former single storey Italianate style Bank of South Australia constructed in 1884. On the other corner is the rebuilt Royal oak Hotel of 1873 and on the last corner is the gracious two storey former National Australian bank built in a Georgian style in 1868. Behind the Post Office towards the Catholic Church is the first telegraph station, a single storey structure erected in 1859. Further along this street is the former Methodist church erected in 1908 and it is now Piper’s Restaurant and next to it is the former offices of Cobb and Co coaches. This ticket booking office was built in 1857. Much later of course the railway replaced the need for the coaches. The railway line from Mt Gambier to Naracoorte and Bordertown was started in 1885 with John Riddoch turning the first sod of soil and it was completed in 1887 giving Penola a comfortable railway link to Adelaide. In the 1870s John Riddoch tried to convince parliament to build a railway from Beachport to Penola but that never occurred. The old railway station in the western side of town was built in 1887. This was probably a weatherboard station which was replaced with an Art Deco style railway station in 1909 with large arched windows. This SA Railways design was copied in Wallaroo, Moonta, Bordertown, Tailem Bend etc. At the northern exit of the town is the historic Bushman’s’ Inn. This fine two storey hotel was built in 1870 as a single storey hotel with the upper floor added later in the 1870s or 1880s. Mrs. Spillett opened it as excellent accommodation for travelers with good stables and plenty of chaff. Just north of the town is the Katnook Winery. The buildings there include the old shearing shed of John Riddoch’s which was built in 1867. The population of Penola in the 1891 census was 1,200 people. Today it has risen slightly to 1,600.

CINCO NOVELAS IMPRESCINDIBLES DE PHILIP ROTH
No es fácil elegir entre la treintena de libros publicados por el estupendo escritor estadounidense. Son muchas las obras magistrales que han dejado un recuerdo indeleble en el lector y en la crítica. Su capacidad de indagar en las regiones devastadas y más oscuras del ser humano, de poner de relieve su cómica trascendencia y de transmitir la explosión liberadora y cautiva del sexo recorre la producción de un fabulador pegado a la realidad, a su tiempo, a su país, al mundo. ¿Qué mayor reconocimiento para la maestría de un novelista que los historiadores de su país, EE UU, elijan su libro de ficción “La conjura contra América” como el mejor del año? A continuación, una lista nada exhaustiva de algunas de las novelas imprescindibles de Philip Roth. “La mancha humana”, “Pastoral Americana” o “La conjura contra América”, cuya pregunta central es ¿Qué hubiera pasado si en las elecciones de EE UU un candidato republicano, filonazi, antisemita y aislacionista, como el popular aviador Charles A. Lindbergh, el primero que cruzó solo el Atlántico, hubiese arrebatado en 1940 la victoria a Roosevelt?, una genialidad escrita en 2004. Nació el 19 de marzo de 1933 en Newark (Nueva Jersey). Segundo hijo de Bess Finkel y Herman Rothuna; judíos emigrantes de la región europea de Galitzia (Ucrania); se cuenta que un día frecuentaba una tienda de alimentos en la que trabajaba Julian Tepper, que acababa de publicar su primera novela, Balls. Tepper, admirador del primero, le regaló su libro y le pidió consejo. Roth fue tan sincero como contundente: Yo lo dejaría ahora que puedes. De verdad. Es una profesión horrible. Escribes y escribes, y entonces tienes que tirar la mayor parte, porque no está a la altura. Yo te diría que lo dejes ahora. No quieres hacerte esto a ti mismo. Es una anécdota de su particular vida.
NUEVA JERSEY es conocido por su proximidad con Nueva York y Filadelfia, cuenta con un paisaje diverso que se siente muy alejado de la vida citadina. La famosa costa de Jersey está salpicada con playas arenosas y pueblos serenos, además de la no tan tranquila Atlantic City, donde encontrarás casinos animados y mucha vida nocturna. Pero no te olvides de que a Nueva Jersey lo llaman el Garden State (Estado jardín). El Meadowlands District (Distrito de Meadowlands), cerca de Nueva York, alberga más de 265 especies de aves, y en Princeton University (Universidad de Princeton) estarás rodeado de un paisaje verde y frondoso. Para tener una experiencia educativa muy personal, visita el Morristown National Historical Park (Parque Histórico Nacional de Morristown), donde se encuentra el cuartel general de la guerra revolucionaria de George Washington.
