It seems to be a popular tourist attraction to get a ride on the streets of Prague in one of these antiques. I suspect that there is a modern factory somewhere churning them up. They are quite charming and fit right in now that the horse carriages seem to be gone.

I captured this image during a gorgeous sunset last night down on my favourite beach in the UK. The Small Beach has some beautiful shiny rocks which when surrounded by water help create a magical scene to photograph.
This morning I board the ferry from Tarbert to Uig on Skye before driving the long 420 mile journey home to Preston.It has truly been a wonderful week with some fantastic people There have been lots of laughs, good-hearted banter and even some carpool karaoke (and why not, lol). The weather has behaved itself in the main and the scenery is beyond stunning as always.
Harris and Lewis, I shall miss you dearly but thankfully I am returning in November to run another week-long photography tour if anyone is interested in joining me.

Some night photography of traffic at the intersection of 101 and 85 in Northern California. This is quite an interesting exchange, because in addition to the usual on/off ramps, it also includes single lane ramps reserved for the high occupancy vehicle (HOV or carpool) lane. On top of that there is a high-speed exit to Shoreline Blvd as well as the on ramp to 101N from Shoreline in the foreground. There is a Microsoft sign too if you take a peek at the original size version. Exposure was 20s at f/16 with the lowest ISO setting of 100. Interesting mix of light sources as well; I like the greeny ones in the empty parking lot.
The first southbound express train, 502, during its stop in San Mateo.
On Mondays I board train in San Mateo (as I carpool with my wife to San Mateo). As I arrived in San Mateo this train just arrived.

I was waiting in the Safeway parking lot for my carpool to pick me up for bird-watching. It was early and the sky was gorgeous.
love foggy mornings during fall...

a little foggier ;o)
Tuesday, 29 December 2020: our temperature is -14C (windchill -20C) at 10:00 am. Sunrise is at 8:39 am, and sunset is at 4:38 pm. A sunny day.
This year, I will not be taking part in any of the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Counts, partly because I feel that with participant numbers being limited, the people with the very best birding skills should be the ones who go. I would feel very selfish if I took up a place. Also, being unable to carpool, there is no way I would be able to drive in the dark, with lousy night vision, at the beginning and end of the day. These wonderful day outings will be missed SO much and, of course, I will miss out on all the precious photo opportunities that I would be able to happily use. Instead, though, I can always go for a few drives out of the city on my own, depending on the weather. So far, a recent snow storm followed by more snow has kept me at home. I haven't been anywhere since 20 December, nine days ago.
This photo was taken a year ago, on 27 December 2019, when seven of us (in the group I was in) took part in the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the Sheep River/Priddis/Turner Valley area. Our time was spent travelling in two cars, driving the back roads SW of the city and calling in at various acreages/ farms. Thanks so much, Joe and Dave, for being the two drivers. This was so much appreciated!
We left the city around 7:30 am, and the car in which I was riding drove south to Okotoks to pick up a brand new participant, who I think had a most enjoyable day out with us. Happy to have you come along with us, Ralph, and it was great that you had a new experience at one of our stops - having a tiny Chickadee fly down to your hand. Not even just a regular Black-capped Chickadee, but a less common Mountain Chickadee.
Our drive then turned westward and we met up at Millarville with the other carload of birders. Unlike last year, when the Count day was a heavily overcast day, this day was sunny and beautiful. The snow was magnificent, with huge crystals that took one's breath away. I was unsuccessful at photographing them up close, unfortunately. Though the day started off at -19C, it did warm up as the day wore on.
It was good to have our long-time friend, Rod Handfield, meet us at his cabin and accompany us for part of the Count. Rod has allowed some of us to explore his forest for quite a few years. The mushrooms and other fungi that grow there are amazing, though depending on the year's weather. This fall, after so much rain, we were totally in awe at what we found.
At lunch time, we were welcomed into the home belonging to Jeanette, to eat our sandwiches and enjoy cheese and crackers and hot coffee. This stop allows us to warm up for a little while, which is much appreciated.
As usual, we met with nothing but pleasant landowners, so willing to allow us to wander their properties. Last year, one of them, Doug J, had the highlight of the day for us - a Steller's Jay! The status of the Steller's Jay in Alberta is "locally uncommon year-round". No luck this time, though. No Wild Turkeys either, which was a little disappointing.
picked them up from their last day of school with sparkly's friend...and headed straight to a friends house for fun in the pool. celebrating the start of our summer break ;o)
The only disappointing part of The Beatles Tour because the driver stopped here instead of lower down the road ( pic in comments taken 5 yr ago). This is because that during the TV programme James Corden's Carpool Karaoke , he and Paul McCartney stopped here and Mc Cartney wrote his signature on this. To protect it it's been covered in Perspex .
One thing I did enjoy about my first job out of college in Montgomery was having a lot of rail traffic literally blocks away from my office in downtown. On days I was driving in the carpool (sure as hell wasn't going to move from Auburn down there) I would usually bring the camera in the event something interesting rolled by during my lunch hour. That was certainly the case on this day as Q681 leaves the capitol city and hangs a left onto the former ACL Dothan Sub for the trip to Waycross. This was one of only two times a former Conrail SD80MAC graced my lenses, so we'll allow the pretty terrible high sun and backlighting a pass.
The parking area at this overlook was one of my favorite lunchtime hangouts during those years working in Montgomery; many days I'd grab a carryout plate at Sam's BBQ and spend the hour just watching them roll by here. Much has changed here in the ensuing 12 years; as the vintage signal bridge has fallen to modern replacements and the clear field in the foreground is completely overgrown and obscures the tracks now. Not to mention the vintage consist of 90's locomotive consist; while 3rd out CSX 325 is undoubtedly still moving tonnage, sister AC60 5011 was scrapped in 2020. Leader 4601 was passed on to Norfolk Southern as their 7227 a few years after this shot, but unfortunately the current "Precision Stock Manipulation" virus led to the purging of the SD80s and many other 90s EMDs from the roster and she met the torch in January 2022.

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
