Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

While painting another wall in the local area, artist Ling sought permission from local residents to also paint this wall via a local Facebook residents group. Permission was granted, on the condition that the wall included the "The Pope Smokes Dope" line seen at the right hand end of the wall. This was a nod to an old tag that was present on the original wall.
Night after night... floating in warm waves of expectation. He always ends up here... with me

We are having continued hot weather, which always knocks me out! Today, it is supposed to get up to 28C (to feel like 30C). My place is feeling like an oven (no air-conditioning) after the last few hot days, and this is expected to continue for a few more days. A Heat Warning is still in effect and there is also a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.
No matter how many times I see one of these owls and no matter how many hundreds/thousands of photos I've taken of them, each owl is as exciting as the very first. I don't remember seeing a Great Gray Owl SW of the city since our May Species Count in 2014.
Before early 2016, the most 'recent' Great Grays that I had seen and photographed was one that was a rare visitor to the city - found in Fish Creek Park for a while and my last photos of it were taken on 18 February 2014. There was also a Great Gray at Griffith Woods, Calgary, and some of my photos were taken on 10 February 2014. Saw another owl on our May Species Count SW of the city on 25 May 2014. Many of my 'best' sightings and photos of Great Grays were taken NW of Calgary, the last dates being 28 March 2013 and 5 May 2013. So, after 25 May 2014 .... nothing until early 2016, NW of the city. Until 8 days ago!!
I decided that for once, I would go out in an evening to look for one of these magnificent birds of prey. Unfortunately, heavy black clouds were already starting to build, with patches of blue sky still showing. Once I hit the main highway, the rain started and continued till I got back home. I was determined to go and check out the various places where I had seen these owls just a few years ago. The two separate owls I found were not far from previous sightings - one along the main road and the other was flying over a distant field. Both were focused on hunting. The first owl flew from post to post, searching for prey. Not a place I particularly wanted to stop, as a number of cars did drive by - had my blinkers turned on. Almost the whole time, I was sitting in my car, with rain pouring in through the open passenger window - but, hey, it's for an OWL! I did get out for maybe three or so minutes, as I know from too much experience that many shots taken from inside my car don't come out. Must have looked rather silly, standing in the rain, to people going by, lol.
Feeling so happy, I decided to drive again along a different area, just to check one last time before going home. That's when I noticed a large bird way off in the distance, flying over a field. I was amazed when it eventually flew to a tree within camera reach and then even more surprised when it flew to a fairly close fence post, which is when I took this shot. Fully zoomed, Focal Length (35mm format) - 1200 mm. The owls looked rather wet and a little wind-blown in most of my photos, but, needless to say, I went home feeling thrilled to bits. I don't remember ever seeing an owl shake the rain off its feathers just like a dog shakes off water.
"Although the Great Gray Owl is the tallest American owl with the largest wingspan, it is just a ball of feathers. It preys on small mammals and has relatively small feet. Both the Great Horned and Snowy owls weigh half again as much, and have larger feet and talons. The oldest recorded Great Gray Owl was at least 18 years, 9 months old and lived in Alberta."

Another abandoned home in the same general area. This one has Asphalt shingles which have probably done much to preserve the structure. Currently it site in a cattle pasture surrounded by substantial trees. The field is otherwise devoid of trees. The shingles appear to be in fair condition, and I suppose the trees shade the roof during the warm summer months thus increasing their lifetime.
This photo is a tribute to those people who volunteer their time to restore and maintain these old steam locomotives in working condition. In this photo, two men are performing minor maintenance tasks while waiting the two hours or more that it takes to fire this engine up. This engine runs a tourist loop at New Hope Pa. and was out of service in 2014. Hopefully it will be back this year. Parts have to be hand made and there are not many people that know how to repair or operate them anymore.
322/365....I'm grateful for air conditioning on a hot day (we arrived in Palm Springs today and I remembered what hot is!)....
...for my 30 days of gratitude project....
For my art exam on The Human Condition. This is development work. It is all seperate works, i have just merged them together in photoshop.

"I will get back into the car under one condition: you allow me to listen to my music, meaning the one song I listen to, however long or however many times I feel like. After that you can have a turn and can listen to songs and or music on my short approved list."
True sincerity reveals a powerful form of clarity and discernment that is necessary in order to perceive yourself honestly without flinching or being held captive by your conditioned mind's judgments and defensiveness.

The weather condition looked very promising, clear skies and low wind, and the mornig had all that just not at the same time. I wanted the Alpine glow on Pen Yr Ole Wen and the reflection. Alas it was one or the other. Once the light started to hit the mountain the wind had picked up and distroyed the reflection. Anyway I'm happy with this blue hour picture.
South of Punta Gorda, the Fort Myers Division mainline track condition is significantly improved, allowing for trains to reach speeds of up to 40 mph ‘till Bayshore; since the SGLR’s ‘Murder Mystery Dinner Train’ operates on this stretch of track, it must be kept maintained at a higher standard to allow safe operation of the passenger service, which includes the use of 135 lbs rail and, in some sections, steel ties. The DeSoto Turn’s are permitted to operate at maximum authorized speed as well, making chases on this stretch a challenge.
As for our subject, the Seminole Gulf Railway’s Thursday-edition southbound DeSoto Turn could finally break out of the 10 mph speed restriction that had been holding them back for hours and start pushing 40 mph, the maximum authorized speed for freight trains. Passing by Best Aggregate Carriers, a frequently served SGLR customer, just south of MP AX943 at 10:38, the two ex-LMX B39-8E’s and their 41 car train continue their southbound journey at speed. 15 miles farther down the line at Bayshore, the DeSoto Turn would stop to serve customers at an industrial park before ending their run at Hanson Yard.
Dating back to 1903, the then-named Fort Myers Extension was constructed by the Atlantic Coast Line in an effort to extend the former-Florida Southern Railway’s Charlotte Harbor Division south to Tico and Fort Myers, with the first train arriving at the namesake city on May 10th, 1904. Freight traffic has always been present throughout the lines history and changes in ownership between the ACL, SCL, SBD, CSX and SGLR [starting in 1987]. Although the frequency of said services fluctuated, it still proved to be a vital link connecting southwestern Florida to the Lakeland and Tampa rail hubs, with the Seminole Gulf diligently maintaining rail customers in the greater Fort Myers area allowing for scenes like this to still exist.

The Moon today is in a Full Moon phase. During a Full Moon the moon is 100% illuminated as seen from Earth and is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The Moon will be visible throughout the night sky rising at sunset in the east and setting with the sunrise the next morning. The point at which a Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time it takes between full moons is known as a Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

In pristine condition, usually they have lost a tale, we have never been lucky enough to photograph an unscathed one before.
As you can plainly see, I don't try very hard to keep my MacBook Pro in mint condition. The bevels are unglued, the fans aren't as quiet, and as for the onions: I'm just lucky they haven't set the thing on fire.

Et41-102 with empty Fals-type wagons (they are commonly called "talbots" here) as a freight train from Warszawa Praga to probably one of several coal mines in Silesia is passing now Warszawa Główna Towarowa station. March 14, 2020.
Couple of facts. One, this locomotive has been modernized, what is indicated by air conditioner on the roof, new headlamps, and new glass in windows. And nowadays you can't spot unmodernized ET41 class locomotive in working condition. Two, the locomotive has a Czech/Slovak safety system installed, because together with this equippment the old full pantographs are replaced to new "half-pantos".

ET41-102 z pociągiem towarowym mija stację Warszawa Główna Towarowa. Skład talbotów (wagony samowyładowcze serii "Fa" i różnych typów konstrukcyjnych) sugeruje, że jest to pociąg z Warszawy Pragi, po rozładunku na moście rozładunkowym EC Żerań, jadący gdzieś na Śląsk.
Prowadzący elektrowóz jest po niedawnej naprawie głównej. Że niedawnej - bo błyszczy się nowym lakierem (faktycznie ukończona miesiąc wcześniej), a że głównej - o tym z kolei świadczą halogenowe reflektory oraz klimatyzatory na dachach sekcji. Z kolei połówkowe pantografy wskazują, iż lokomotywa ma "pakiet czechosłowacki", czyli dopuszczona jest do eksploatacji na sieciach SŽ (kiedyś SŽDC - Czechy) oraz ŽSR (Słowacja). 14 marca 2020 roku.
