A shorter and faster CN 148 is catching up to CN 422's tail end. It is heading to MacMillan Yard after setting off its intermodal traffic at the Brampton Intermodal Terminal (BIT). CN 5752 leads.
On our last day before returning home we went for a strolling along the beach in Mexico when we saw this man casting his net into the sea and we stood and watched him for a short while. After a few throws of his net he did manage to catch a couple of fish one was too small and he returned it to the sea the other he kept and we assumed he had it later for his supper.
So many photos and so little free time lately... time to try and catch up a bit. This is from a little while back on my last trip to Seoul, Korea. Fun little roof bar near Hongdae.
I've been away catching ladybugs. This was my oldest grandson on a day of a ladybug swarm. They were everywhere and on everything. We are spending quality time with each of the grandchildren separately this month, so I will be mostly off of Flickr.
Paper train orders- snagged at speed from station agents, block operators, or tower operators- have gone the way of the steam locomotive, the first-generation diesel, the five-man crew, and the caboose. Almost everywhere on the North American continent, radio, computers, and yes, even the fax machine have rendered paper train orders picked up on the fly- "flimsies" to steam-era veterans- outdated to the point where their receipt by crews is sometimes replicated by museum operations.
And yet, here on the drearily wet evening of July 20th, 2018, a date which probably seemed impossibly futuristic to those railroaders for whom picking up orders this way was an everyday occurance, the engineer of Canadian National symbol U26171-18, an empty crude oil train heading back to Canada, leans over the railing behind his cab to snatch those all-important documents, strung up on the order forks by the operator- himself a member of a critically endangered species- at JB Tower at West Chicago, Illinois.
Running on the ex-EJ&E, the locomotives hammer across the diamonds on the former C&NW triple main of UP's Geneva Sub as the catch is made.... almost. As it turned out, the engineer on CN 8875 just missed the orders, and had to bring his train to a stop, momentarily blocking the interlocking while he walked back, understandably frustrated, to retrieve his train orders.
One of the accommodation buildings at Kersfontein, catching brilliant morning sunlight.
Around 140 km/85 miles north of Cape Town, Kersefontein is a farmstead with many period Cape Dutch buildings, some dating back to the late 18th Century... very old in South Africa.
Originally purchased by settler Martin Melck in 1770, Kersefontein remains in the possession of the eighth generation of his descendants. The first deed described the farm as a 'zeker Veepost' (certain cattle post) and it remains used to farm sheep, cattle, horses and wheat as it has for a quarter of a millennium. It is also available for farm-stays.
Captured with the Laowa 12mm lens with my camera extended over the side of the building. Was I nervous? Yes! I took precautions for safety reasons.

High wispy clouds catching a bit of a pink tinge from the rising sun :)
Nadja has just moved into the city and has been invited for cocktails with two of her newest friends from the club. Unfortunately, she has to cut it short since she has an appointment to get to.
Prompt: medium-full view shot, painting of a bald eagle mid-flight, carrying a freshly caught fish in its talons. The bald eagle has a distinctive white head and tail, with a dark brown body and wings. The fish is a trout. The background is a blurred, natural setting with green and brown tones, suggesting a forest mountain lake. The eagle's wings are spread wide, showcasing its impressive wingspan. The image captures the dynamic motion and power of the eagle in action, with a sense of freedom and majesty --ar 11:14 --profile 2wxm36j --v 6.1
