The completely renewed locomotive 77 002 by Express Service is already on duty on the Rhodope narrow gauge line! We have waited to see the locomotive in operation for quite a long time. It was ready and transferred in Septemvri depot in March 2022, but due to some administrative hiccups, its commissioning was delayed quite a bit. After all, about a month ago, the locomotive was put into operation, with a new number - 77 102, and since then it has been tirelessly and without any problems serving trains on the narrow gauge. The modernization of the locomotive which has been manufactured in Romania in the 80s was carried out by the Express Service workshop in Ruse, Bulgaria. In practice, only the frame and bogies are used from the old locomotive. Cabs and the body shells were removed and re-build using brand new materials. The loco is equipped with electronic controls and also with a brand new Caterpilar diesel engine with EU stage 5 standard.
On the photo 77 102 is seen on train 1661, between the stations of Yakoruda and Belitsa, near Dagonovo stop /15 October 2022/
Video of the renovated locomotive is available here:
It is completely modifiable.
You can change the "Text Color" you wish, adjust the size into bigger/smaller size
and you can also increase/decrease the "Glow" effect as well.

Completely new figure from last time.
New jacket with my Batman and Bad Wolf pins on it. A Batman shirt. Blue jeans with my lanyard. (Though you can't see it, nor did I actually make them, I have a little wolverine keychain, a Deadpool light and a G.I. Joe dog tag on them. as well as my keys) Also my red vans. (Don't you dare say it).
Once completely scorched, vegetation is coming back to Rattlesnake Mountain.
The dark green part is where the mountain was burnt last summer. At that time it looked like this:
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are.( ... ) In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

This is a collection of old network BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) connectors and terminators we found buried in a cupboard at work and joined together. Apart from being 20 years behind the times, they would also send the network traffic loopy if we connected them to anything - so the ultimate contraption. Over complicated. Looks impressive. Does nothing!
The BNC was commonly used for early computer networks, including ARCnet, the IBM PC Network, and the 10BASE2 variant of modern Ethernet.
Built in 1754 and completely restored in 1910, the Château de La Motte-Tilly has now been bequeathed to the French state due to a lack of heirs. The US film director Miloš Forman ('One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', 'Amadeus') used the château and park as locations for his film 'Valmont' (1989), based on the epistolary novel 'Dangerous Liaisons' by Choderlos de Laclos.

Last Sunday and Monday were my first two completely free days I have had in quite some time. So after finishing my last Choral Concert for the year on Saturday, I set the alarm for 4 AM and set off for Zion National Park. I had never been there before, but had heard it was amazing, and Google showed it as being a 6 hour drive from my house, roughly the same amount of time it takes for me to get to Yosemite. So by 6 AM, I was already through the Cajon pass and on my way to Zion.
Many hard lessons were learned on this trip, and I hope to go into detail on my blog later regarding how no one should ever, under any circumstances, head to a popular national park on Memorial Day weekend and then try to get back home on the last day of the weekend on the one highway leading back to LA from Vegas...(nine hours of traffic!), but let me skip ahead to the part where I drove through Zion without stopping due to the insane crowds and lousy sky and headed straight on to Bryce in hopes of tracking down a thunderstorm.
Bryce was amazing, but the canyon is on the Eastern side of the ridge which wasn't what I need for my sunset shot and I knew that I might still be able to get back to Zion for either a sunset or a blue hour shot from the Canyon Overlook. At this point I should probably mention that I usually spend quite a bit of time scouting locations online before I head out, but in this case, it was such a last minute decision that all I had to go on was that Zion was off of the 15 and Bryce was a bit East of Zion. It was small wonder, then, that I drove right by the Canyon Overlook trail head twice, completely missing the blue hour shot with light trails that I was hoping to get. When I finally tracked down the trailhead, it was already past 9 PM and I knew that it was now much darker than I had planned on. Undeterred, I headed up the trail in the dark with my headlamp.
After a semi-sketchy hike in the dark, I climbed over one last large boulder and found myself looking out over the valley. The view was absolutely stunning, and since I was all by myself up there, I just took a few moments to soak it in. It took a while for my eyes to adjust once I flipped off the headlamp and the stars were gleaming brightly in the warm breeze and you could barely hear the cars down below as they zig-zagged across the valley floor like pachinko machine balls made of light.
This shot is a combination of a 90 second exposure for the valley and light trails, and 30 second exposure for the sky. (Going longer than 30 seconds with the 14-24 would blur the stars.) The glow off of the clouds above seemed to be coming from Hurricane and the surrounding towns.
The rest of the trip was a blur between shooting the Milky Way and getting a couple of hours of sleep before heading back to Bryce for the Sunrise before the long odyssey of trying to get back home on the 15. I'm hoping to spend MUCH more time there on my next trip, which will hopefully be during the off season... on a weekday...in the snow. Never again on Memorial Day weekend!

Trying something completely different.
As I was taking some soup it looked really photogenic. There was no way I wasn't going to snap a picture of it!
I don't usually photograph food but this just caught my eye in a way that I couldn't pass the opportunity.
Eat well and take great photos!

This image is completely Artificial Intelligences except for the model and the sky. The first thing I found out about AI images is that it's difficult to manipulate the image. This one look fairly life like. On my first attempts the images came out looking cartoonish.
So, the rest of the story on the water issue is. I live outside of town so I'm not on city water. A private company supplies the water for me and most of my neighbors. They were only suppose to take a certain amount of water from the aquifer and for years have been taking more then their allotment. No one said anything because there was plenty of water. But now that water isn't so plentiful it's a big deal, which is why we're in stage 4 of water restrictions and not allowed to water outside.
Seacow Head, PEI
I was completely awestruck by this particular area of the island. A couple hundred yards behind me is the Seacow head lighthouse (which will likely show up in my photostream at some point) but if you walk past it and along the small cliff edge for a little bit you can find a spot to scramble down to the shoreline and then further along and this is the view that greets you.
I could not do this area justice in a photo. I tried. But it's something like being on the surface of mars. If mars had a liquid ocean. And oxygen. And an atmosphere capable of sustaining life. And a temperate climate. Look, I know the analogy has unravelled but I'm already committed to it, ok?
The setting sun turns both the iridescent seaweed-like stuff and the red cliffs electric. Every 20 feet felt like a completely new angle on the scene. There are so many nooks and eddies that both capture the water but also make this eerie "sploook" sound on each incoming wave and then that sound gets echoed off the cliff side to your right and then mingles in with the next wave...and the next sound...and on and on.
I could have photographed this area for days just seeing how the light changed throughout. Geez, I think I could have just sat here for days and got lost in it all.
Thanks for stopping by...appreciate it.

I came here because i liked photography as a way to frame memories and as the exceptional art to paint with light.
I hoped to find inspiration ... which i found and keep on finding here every day.
I never thought i would find friendship here, an untouchable kind of connection with some beautiful souls sharing their wonderful work, but i found that too, because photography is also a beautiful way to express feelings and thoughts!
Thank you ... you all deserve to be completely found in your surroundings!

When I first entered The Amphitheatre in 1975, it was with a group of young men and women (seniors high school students). One of them wrote as a result, "One of the greatest moments of my life was when I sat down in The Amphitheatre and looked up and all around me and realized the power, the time lapse and the scale that was being revealed in making this feature. It brought me down to size, making me realize how insignificant we are in comparison to the forces of nature. Then I thought back over the last 9 days that it took us to get here exploring a remarkable world, and I feel fantastic. Without any doubt these days have been the best days of my life!!" Bill G.
It certainly is an awesome location. In here, one is completely surrounded by these towering walls. Entry is via a very narrow defile along one of the major joints.
This precipice sandstone has deep gorges eroded through it, each gorge following the pattern of major joints. Off each gorge, there are many side chasms/defiles/slots, each being along joints that have been eroded by water, and each is unique. The Amphitheatre is one of the most dramatic.
As he lingered on Lipsi that fall, he began to see that his vision hadn't been capacious enough. He had been looking at parts rather than the whole, searching for models rather than an understanding of the greater scheme of things. The oneness of humanity--of all of life--wasn't something to be sought, he realized, but something to be recognized and embraced. The life flowing in his veins had been flowing in veins since the beginning of time or longer. The enduring nature of life was the important thing to understand:
the continuity of life is
its meaning: it begins from
eternity & flows to eternity
there is no right way of
singing a given song: but
all ways are more or less
right
the variations of tone we
bring to our roles give life
its color: whether we will (to)
or not, we add variations
there is no one character in
whom the Lord would dwell &
not in others
he who dances in the middle
of the room, dances for me;
he who sits in the corner
watching, watches for me
...it is not that our lives
should so radically change,
but rather our understanding
of them

We had extremely dense fog the entire morning and into the early afternoon a few days ago - an uncommon event around here. About 1 pm, a tiny bit of sunlight started to break through as the fog finally began to clear. Believe it or not, once the fog moved out, it was completely clear and cloudless the entire rest of the day, staying true to the all-over-the-place weather of the Texas Panhandle.

Completely buried in work, haven't had time to upload anything, but I am making time to visit your wonderful streams!
An astute observer whidbychick made some gentle suggestions on improvements :-) And she was so right, damn her! Admittedly I did a hasty redo, but I do like it a LOT better. Now it's color over monochrome.
I feel better now.
I completely forgot about this shot from a couple weeks back. We had been watching this Western Screech-Owl for a short time after it came to the edge of the nest box. We had taken some shots and Elliot had gone to the restroom before we left.
While I was waiting for him, a California Scrub Jay had taken umbrage to the owl being outside the box. It squawked and landed on top of the nest box warning the owl it wasn't happy. My lens was too long to capture both in the shot but you can clearly see the defense posture by the WSO.

„Usually completely unnoticed, the drying leaves on the trees in the forest and meadow form bizarre sculptures - and testify to transience and renewal.
A motif that fascinates me completely every year, and runs like a common thread through my photographic work.
A motif that, however, only unfolds its full effect with appropriate photo editing, and is preferably shown by me in black and white.
A motif that impressively illustrates that digital photography - if you shoot in RAW format - is inextricably linked to digital RAW development or digital photo editing.“
„Meist vollkommen unbeachtet bilden die vertrocknenden Blätter an den Bäumen in Wald und Flur bizarre Skulpturen - und zeugen von Vergänglichkeit und Erneuerung.
Ein Motiv, welches mich jedes Jahr erneut vollkommen fasziniert, und sich wie ein roter Faden durch meine Fotoarbeiten zieht.
Ein Motiv, welches jedoch seine volle Wirkung erst mit entsprechender Fotobearbeitung entfaltet, und von mir bevorzugt in Schwarzweiß gezeigt wird.
Ein Motiv welches beeindruckend veranschaulicht, dass die digitale Fotografie - sofern man im RAW-Format fotografiert - untrennbar mit der digitalen RAW-Entwicklung, bzw. digitalen Fotobearbeitung verbunden ist.“
A late summer camping trip to Yosemite brought warm temperatures, clear skies, and very little water in the Merced River and the Falls. In this view from the Valley View turnout, the Merced River is extremely low, with rocks showing everywhere. Bridalveil Falls is only a mist. Around the bend, Yosemite Falls is completely dry.
This shot is a panorama of four images.
A photo that I had completely lost sight of (and also out of mind) actually fell into my virtual hands.
It comes from January of this year and shows the old town of Dresden. At that time there was high water too, but the Carola Bridge was still intact, so that ships could still dock here (which, as far as I am informed, they cannot do at the moment).
To be precise, we are looking in the direction of the terrace bank. So the place where I took the photos on the foggy night in November.
In the background you can also see the buildings that the fog had hidden from us, the church of the cross (left) and the Semper Opera (right).
To illustrate this gigantic difference, I will show you another photo with fog in the next few days.
Da ist mir doch tatsächlich mal wieder ein Foto in die virtuellen Hände gefallen, was ich schon völlig aus den tatsächlichen Augen verloren hatte (und auch aus dem Sinn).
Es stammt aus dem Januar diesen Jahres und zeigt die Altstadt von Dresden. Damals war auch schon einmal Hochwasser aber die Carolabrücke war noch in Takt, so dass hier die Schiffe noch anlegen konnten (was sie zur Zeit, soweit ich informiert bin, nicht können).
Um genau zu sein schauen wir hier in Richtung des Terassenufers. Also den Ort, an dem ich die Aufnahmen in der Nebelnacht im November gemacht habe.
Außerdem sieht man hier in Hintergrund die Gebäude, die der Nebel vor uns verborgen hatte, die Kreuzkirche (links) und die Semperoper (rechts).
Um diesen gigantischen Unterschied zu verdeutlichen werde ich Euch in den nächsten Tagen nochmals ein Foto mit Nebel zeigen.

Rattennest Castle
The first mention of Rattennest Castle (then called Groenenborch) dates from 1426. It was almost completely destroyed in 1583.
The wealthy banker family Spinola, originally from Genoa but living in Antwerp, used this enormous estate as a country house. In 1688, a Spinola descendant sold the castle.
On 21 June 1741, the castle 'Groenenborch alias den Rattennest' and the accompanying grounds were sold on the Vrijdagmarkt in Antwerp.
The present building dates from the first half of the 18th century and was restored in 1807.
During and after the Second World War, the estate was severely neglected. It was largely parcelled out in 1948. The castle and part of the original estate remained untouched. Around 1950, the court pond and outer moat were filled in.
In 1981, the castle was protected as a monument.
----------------------------------
De eerste vermelding van kasteel Rattennest (toen nog Groenenborch) dateert van 1426. Het werd nagenoeg totaal verwoest in 1583.
De steenrijke bankiersfamilie Spinola, oorspronkelijk uit Genua maar wonend in Antwerpen, gebruikte dit enorme landgoed als buitenverblijf. In 1688 verkocht een nazaat van de Spinola’s het kasteel.
Op 21 juni 1741 werd het kasteel ‘Groenenborch alias den Rattennest’ met de daarbij behorende gronden verkocht op de Vrijdagmarkt in Antwerpen.
Het huidig gebouw dateert uit de eerste helft van de 18de eeuw en werd in 1807 hersteld.
Tijdens en na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd het domein fel verwaarloosd. Het werd grotendeels verkaveld in 1948. Het kasteel en een deel van het oorspronkelijke domein bleef ongerept behouden. Omstreeks 1950 werden de hofvijver en buitengracht gedempt.
In 1981 werd het kasteel beschermd als monument.
