I'm not at all sure just where in the Dales we were but as we travelled up another steep, twisty road this ever changing view revealed itself, giving us cause to stop, again, and get our gear out.
I was thinking 'pano' as I set up as there was rather too much dead space in the foreground for my liking but, right on cue, the little flock of sheep in the middle distance formed an orderly queue and headed straight for us, almost menacingly in fact, filling the foreground nicely. Baarilliant job!
Westbound on the Texas State Railroad, the former Tremont & Gulf Mikado #30 hauls a mixed freight through Cherokee County, toward the little yard in Maydelle, TX just a couple of miles ahead. The locomotive and train were performing for an April, 2019 photo shoot, organized by Lerro Photography. The #30 was lettered in the livery of her original owner, the T&G, specifically for this event.

Weasel (Mustela nivalis) is the UK's smallest carnivore, this one was running back and forth along the edge of the wall of the golf course in Dunbar this Autumn.
Even in good light getting a focus on it wasn't easy, they live their lives at high speed !
1471, 4th May, Tewkesbury, England one of the most decisive battles of the War of the Roses took place. The War of the Roses had started on 22nd May 1455 between the Royal Houses of York and Lancaster.
At one stage in the battle the Duke of Somerset, a Lancastrian, reached a crest of a hillock with his troops and prepared to attack Edward IV. Under Somerset's portcullis banner they charged down the slope. It what was to become a key point in the battle the two sides engaged Somerset having adopted the 'decapitation strategy', engaging the Yorkists centre 'battle'.
Edward rose to the challenge:
"The King, full, manly, set forth even upon them, entered and won the dyke, and hedge, upon them, onto the close, and, with great violence, put them up towards the hill, and, so also, the Kings vaward, being in the rule of the Duke of Gloucester"
(From the Arrivall, the best military source for the period)
King Edward IV and his Yorkist forces defeated those of the rival House of Lancaster.
Tasku loves to run.
Studio 26 quality of light assignment: Taken on the same walk as the foal shot but out in the open, at 1pm. The strong and harsh sunlight breaking through the clouds has lightened the gravel track and cast a strong shadow. I do like her shadow here.

1/2 I don't know how they passed the word, but all the bison stopped grazing and headed toward a place to get a drink. Maybe their work day was over?
After he came out of the water and showed a great display of power with his death rolls, he made one final charge before all his energy was spent. This was the last lunge before he realized it was over...he was hooked.
Amtrak's Empire Builder behind a Charger and a P42 passes over Snelling Ave in St. Paul...nearly five hours late.
When I heard of a westbound out of KC that was running roughly parallel to my path home on I-70, I couldn't help but to reroute to the tracks to photograph it on my way home.
I first caught up with this North Platte-bound manifest at Linwood (pictured), and then chased it west on the Kansas Sub for one more shot ( flic.kr/p/2pS1bDa ) before bailing for dinner.

The UP 6482 was built by GE in 2000, and rebuilt into a C44ACM in December, 2022.
