Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
In position the beast gets to work. A few more freights were let by on the south main before work really got underway.
After a major winter storm dumped several feet of snow in the Washington Cascades, the iconic Burlington Northern plow that is assigned to the Scenic Sub was brought out to clear the tracks after it was shutdown for over 48 hours due to downed trees, power outages, and trains stalling on the 2.2% grade between Skykomish and Scenic as the heavy "Cascade Cement" caused havoc on the railroads "longshot" planning.

Camden's cleanup.
For the 3rd time in as many weeks Camden was yet again the victim of severe flooding.
The flood waters have yet again receded and now the huge clean up begins.
It seems that this time the waters were higher than previously experienced but it doesn't alter the fact that yet again Camden is faced with another clean up.
This is image depicts the cleanup operation that involved a water tanker using a high pressure hose to clean down the Argyle Street in readiness to re-open the access to Camden.

Camden, New South Wales, Australia.
And now the cleanup begins. My office was without power for most of the day, so I worked remotely. Madison’s biggest utility had the most power outages in their history, dozens of roads were blocked and the entire Madison school district was closed. Ours was open but there seemed like fewer kids than usual - plenty of power outages in our city too.
I caught the end of the shift meet up for the HuangGu district cleaning crew. The guy on the right who gave me the funny look turned and said "hey look a foreigner taking pictures" his mates ignored him.
This black vulture is lower than their usual altitude of close to 1000 feet. Vultures don’t get much respect but the world would be a much smellier and messier place without them.
Just outside Tunnel 2 at Plainview, Colorado, a wreck occurred on the Moffat Road in spring of 1972. Because locomotives were involved, wreck outfits from both Denver and Grand Junction were quickly called to the scene. Former D&SL 120-ton derrick 029 and D&RGW Bucyrus-Erie 250-ton “big hook” 028 from Grand Junction (nicknamed “Samson de Grande”) work in unison to lift Rio Grande GP35 No. 3043 back onto the rails. GP7 No. 5101 and a Great Northern boxcar are still left to be rescued on the rocky slope below. The action, of course, takes place on my N scale (1/160 scale) Moffat Road model railroad.

Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia floridana)
Photography and birding came in to my life together and almost on a whim. Learning about birds, and consequently the habitats they are in, has profoundly changed my life and opened my eyes to the consequences to wildlife of the ever increasing advancement of the human footprint.
This owl was another learning experience for me both in terms of increasing my knowledge of the species and the human/wildlife connection. His burrow is in a highly populated area of Florida, surrounded by houses and busy streets. While observing the owl, much to my horror, one of his neighbors opened the front door and out trots a Golden Retriever roaming free; unleashed. Of course the dog comes right over to where this owl and his family of owlets are. All the babies go scurrying back into the burrow but interestingly the two adults stayed put. Then the dog comes over and checks out my friend and me; sniffs around in the field a little more then finds a nice spot to do his "deed". Once that is done, he trots on back to his house.
I'm not thinking nice things at this point. I was a dog owner and was taught to clean up after my dog; not leave a pile of crap lying around to be stepped in. Plus I'm worried about the dog harming the poor owls.
If you've stuck with me this far, here is where the learning part comes in. This owl is actually thankful to have that dog as his neighbor and thankful that the owner doesn't clean up after it. One of this owl's feeding techniques is to carry dung back to its burrow which then attracts dung beetles that it will eat.
I didn't know what was in the owl's talons at the time I took this shot, but this is a shot of the owl carrying back a nice Golden Retriever dung ball. One wise owl.
I had a few moments between those NSFW photos and I thought why not do one that is "Safe". Looking thru my photostream, It looks like the only pics that pass for safe are my Spacer Chick snaps. I will try to sprinkel in some more... Rusty
our group CMAS used to organize annual cleanup drives to assist clean our environment (including underwater). here are some images of stuffs one can see underwater
Looked like a dead skunk (not sure if the leftovers of a coyote meal or road kill though this road has very little traffic)
The village street crew has a tough job. They have to maintain the streets for both snowmachines and wheeled vehicles.
This means keeping the snow at a depth that is safe for traction, turning and braking for all vehicles.
First a blade, then a plow, then remove the excess. Good on 'em.
This wreck occurred on the Boonton line just off Interstate 80 and east of Port Morris and Lake Hopatcong.The road going under the tracks near the wreck site was called Shippenport Road. Some of the cars that were involved in the wreck were carrying rock salt and plastic pellets and their contents were all over the place.I did not manage to get the number of the crane involved with the cleanup but did notice that insulator on the boom which I never saw on Erie side cranes.Hulcher Railroad Services assisted in the cleanup also. 02-13-1974 Howard Kent Jr.photo.
