60007 heads a coil train to Trostre from Margam (6B26) seen crossing the Neath River Swing Bridge at high tide. For once, the working was pretty much on time.
These abandoned warehouses in Briton Ferry, known locally as Wern Works, have been vacant since 2011. The seven-acre site has been home to many businesses since it was first used by High Duty Alloys in the 1950s.
These photographs, taken in June 2016, showcase the building as it stands today.
Inspiration for the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
Adam coils the rope at the end of an amazing day at Girraween. After one of the most best sunsets I've seen, the mist rolled in and created this other-worldly atmosphere.
Rio Grande SD7 No. 5302 pulls loads of coil and plate steel from Geneva Works into Provo, Utah on a hazy Feb. 8, 1976 afternoon.
This Common Lizard couldn't have posed better for me! Wish I'd changed my aperture, I'd been shooting Black Darters and a Small Copper. Three were laid on the bench, sheltered from the breeze and enjoying the sun. Two disappeared quickly, they're very shy but I managed to get a few shots of this one.
What kind of title is that, you ask? Good question!
Guess I've got some 'splainin' to do, as they say. When going through my butterfly shots - this one of a Long-Tailed Skipper was just moments away from being deleted.
A) Not as clear as I'd like; but then most of them aren't so that probably isn't a valid reason.
B) No flower, plus a partially dried up leaf.
C) This Skipper's tail looks rather tattered and torn.
But then I noticed that coiled proboscis and thought, "Well, now, that's a keeper."
End of story.

Questo scatto è frutto di una botta di fortuna. I Coils di SBB Cargo che tanto avevo inseguito e che mai avevo avuto occasione di fotografare!
Also present left to right are 66080, 66651, 66654, 66192, and 66021 on the steel coils.
Lots of photos were taken here on this three day trip as the blast furnace in the background is due to close later in the month, and at times the conditions and lighting were ideal.
How times change - at its peak in 1970, the UK produced 28.3m tonnes of steel, the fifth largest producer in the world, and employed more than 320,000 people. Decline has been precipitous. Last year, the UK produced 5.6m tonnes, 26th in the world, and employed about 33,500 people.
In 2025 no virgin steel from iron ore will be made in the UK.
From October 2024 Port Talbot will finish steel imported from Tata plants in India, an electric arc furnace using scrap should start production in 2027.
For now, around 1,000 jobs remain from a workforce that used to number 18,000.
With steel coils in tow, Norfolk Southern GP38-2 5333 squeals through the curve at CP 502, where IHB's main line crosses the NS Chicago Line. The 5333 was originally Penn Central 8161, (then Conrail, same number) and if its heritage isn't obvious, it is once its horn- a very nice Leslie RS3L- is heard.
DPO Vossloh G2000-19 seen approaching Tagliata working Ravenna to Guastalla steel Coils.
Units running late making this also late unfortunately allowing the haze to roll in.

Rust on an old galvanized clamming basket. They tend to start rusting on the coiled area. Behind the coil is the natural spiral of a broken moon snail shell.

Thank you for viewing and favouring my photographs.
queen butterfly on milkweed, Lakeway Library Butterfly Garden, Lakeway, TX. Sony A6300 and Schneider Kreuznach Componar 50/4.5 enlarger lens. I was burst shooting, and I think I captured this frame as the butterfly was just leaving the flower -- it's legs are not firmly placed on the flower, and it's proboscis is coiled in flight position.
Possible a Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake.

A rattlesnake from a different climate is coiled up and waiting for...something at the Pittsburgh Zoo.

It used ~1,800 watts, & made 4 foot streamers at about 75% power, too much for the space available! MMC cap, salient-pole synchronous rotary gap.
This western diamondback (or maybe Mojave) rattlesnake slowly worked its way across the campground at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, investigating every hole in the ground it found. Eventually it found a hole to its liking and coiled up next to it, waiting for some unsuspecting inhabitant to emerge.
