Street photography from Edinburgh, Scotland.

 

A previously unpublished shot from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2017. I have no idea why someone was very publicly adorned with a chess board. Enjoy the conundrum!

Unfortunately, the NS crew on this coal drag was obviously not a fan of people lineside, as was exhibited by turning off the ditchlights in Whiting. Fortunately for me, they can’t (legally) do that over a public crossing like Lumber Street.

 

And even with the ditchlights being turned off almost immediately after going over the crossing, I was still able to walk away with a useable frame.

 

BNSF 9650, the only Executive paint SD70MAC with both PTC and a Wagon Wheel logo, takes an empty Detroit Edison set over the lift bridge at CP 21st Street. The crew was along the ride since Toledo, and would soon get swapped for a (much nicer) BNSF crew at Western Avenue.

Through the Iris

Song by 10 Years

Lyrics

Cherish

Two circular views of blue with a grey shade

So captivating

More than you know

False perceptions

That brought forth these questions of

Truth, love and hope

Now that you're injuring

I'll carry you with me

Just please hold on

Disappear and dissolve

A weakening wall

Will one day fall

It's wise to sever our loss

A redefined pulse

Through your iris

Love's not all lost

But it's nailed to my cross

And crucified all that I've held on

To be awaiting

Anticipating a touch such as yours

False affection

A spawn of neglecting

Of love lost hoax

Please understand me

That now where you're standing

Is closer than I'd hoped

Disappear and dissolve

A weakening wall

Will one day fall

It's wise to sever our loss

A redefined pulse

Through your iris

Your iris

Your iris

Disappear and dissolve

A weakening wall

Will one day fall

It's wise to sever our loss

A redefined pulse

Through your iris

Disappear and dissolve

A weakening wall

Will one day fall

It's wise to sever our loss

A redefined pulse

Through your iris

Looks like Mash dominated the game.

I decided to share this image for the upcoming #macromondays theme called #checkered

 

The term checkered has multiple meanings depending on the context:

 

1. Pattern

 

In design and visual contexts, checkered refers to:

 

A pattern made up of alternating squares, typically in two contrasting colors, such as black and white.

It is commonly seen in items like checkered flags (used in racing), tablecloths, clothing, or tiles.

Variations include:

Regular checkered: Uniform, equally-sized squares.

Irregular checkered: Squares may vary in size or arrangement.

 

2. Metaphorical Meaning

 

In a figurative sense, checkered describes:

 

A history, career, or past with mixed fortunes or events, often containing both successes and failures or good and bad times.

Example: "He had a checkered past, marked by both notable achievements and controversies."

 

3. Other Contexts

 

Geography/Maps: "Checkered" might describe a landscape or map divided into squares or parcels.

Textiles: In fabric design, it’s one of the oldest patterns, often associated with certain cultural or traditional garments (like tartans or plaid).
