Bangkok, Thailand - November 30, 2019: Stalls selling trinkets and clothing inside an aisle at the Chatuchak Weekend Market
On a bright & sunny morning, CP 140 creeps into Romulus with a pair of SD70ACU's, and a SD70ACU as a mid-DPU. The Wabash Line was congested, so this train would end up sitting for over an hour at CP Preston near the airport. 7/6/2020.
20308 & 20305 head away from Colton South Junction with 3S26 06:41 Knaresborough to York Works RHTT. 20/10/2015. I left home particularly early that morning in order to capture this, but thanks to an extremely congested M62, I just missed the approach shot, as I arrived just as they came into view.

A BNSF GEVO leads coal empties through Manitoba Junction into some of the last rays of light on a gorgeous evening on the Staples Sub. The train is actually lit by the sun which has already ducked below the bridge. By the time the train was done rolling by, the sun was already kissing the horizon.
BNSF continues to struggle to keep the freight moving on their overly congested mainlines. Trains were parked yet again all the way to Richards Spur and the dispatcher would have to fleet westbounds then eastbounds around parked trains.
A Diivy Bike rider has made a left turn from Wells Street to Harrison Street. Divvy is a great means of active transport around the city and it's useful for short trips. Like most Divvy users, she is not wearing a helmet--which I think is a must on Chicago's congested streets and bike paths--however she has safely and properly executed her turn.
The humorous "Morning Already" mural is on the wall.
Västerbron (lit. 'the western bridge') is an arch bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden. With a total length exceeding 600 m, 340 m of which stretches over water, it is one of the major bridges in Stockholm, offering one of the most panoramic views of the central part of the city centering on Gamla stan, the old town.
Its inauguration on 20 November 1935 made it the second stationary connection between the southern and northern parts of the city, saving the citizens the effort of a ferry ride, which had previously been required, or the congested detour through Gamla stan.
Auto rickshaws, commonly known as three-wheelers, can be found on all roads in Sri Lanka from the curvy roads through the hill country to the congested roads of Colombo transporting locals, foreigners, or freight about.
Sri Lankan tuk-tuks are of the style of the light Phnom Penh type. Most tuk-tuks in Sri Lanka are a slightly modified Indian Bajaj model, imported from India though there are few manufactured locally and increasingly imports from other countries in the region and other brands of three wheelers such as Piaggio.
In 2007 January the Sri Lankan government imposed an ban on all 2 stroke three wheelers and therefore the ones imported to the island now are only with a four stroke engine. Most three wheelers are available as hiring vehicles with few being used to haul goods and as private vehicles. Bajaj enjoys a virtual monopoly in the island with its agent being David Pieries Motor Co Ltd. A few three wheelers in Sri Lanka have distance meters, but the vast majority of charges are negotiated between the passenger and driver.
Once a congested city street, St George’s Mall is now a pedestrian area in the middle of the city centre, bustling with activity that ranges from live entertainment - provided by buskers, dancers, drummers, street artists and the like - to the sidewalk coffee shops and restaurants at which many locals and visitors to Cape Town sit and watch people pass by.
The bridge in the background is part of a newly constructe flyover that allows BNSF trains operating on former Santa Fe track to avoid the complicate and often congested track at ground level.
Day 29 - My Dad is going through a very difficult time right now. He's battling Congestive Heart Failure with potential pneumonia complications.
I would like all of you out there to say prayers, or send good healing vibes, or whatever you guys believe in, in hope that that positive energy will help him recover.
Macaranga grandifolia is a species of plant in the Euphorbiaceae family. Common names for this plant include Nasturtium Tree, Parasol Leaf Tree and Bingabing. It is endemic to the Philippines and has been widely cultivated in Hawaii as a tropical ornamental. This plant has become very popular garden ornamental in many parts of the tropics for the extraordinary grandiose leaves, which are rounded-ovate in shape, with prominent, reddish veins and the stem attached towards the center of the leaf blade.
The flowers are pinkish red and the males are held in coral-like, congested inflorescences. The leaf ash was eaten as a cure for enlarged bellies. Twine made from the bark and the wood was used for fishing spears. The leaves were used to wrap food. Birds eat the ripe fruit.

White Mana Diner in Jersey City in-between the Holland & and Lincoln Tunnels is this great relic from the 1939 World's Fair that still makes a great tiny steamed cheeseburger. It's a roadside treasure on a congested tough piece of land and worth a visit if you're traveling in the area.
By the time of this tranquil scene on Portobello Road, this Edinburgh tram was into its 32nd year of service. Built by the Leeds Forge Co in 1922 its seen working route 20 to Joppa. Just one car is visible on what is now a traffic congested road. Perhaps little wonder as the service on routes 15, 20, 21 and 26 gave a tram every minute, in that context there was little need to own a car. So its incredible to think that the local Craigentinny councillor was the most vociferous tram objector and in 1951 moved a council motion that this route and the rest of the network be scrapped !
Few of Portobello depot's duties rostered trams on Princes Street hence the then 'High Heid Yins' rather bizarrely deemed most of the fleet be of the old wooden standard variety, hence few modern trams were allocated! Fleet 90 is passing over the main East Coast rail line to London, off to the extreme left we can see the Miller Mausoleum built over the tomb of William Christie Miller who owned these lands. The tram approaches the junction known locally for years as the Royal Bank corner, alas no more as this bank, rescued in recent years by us taxpayers, has closed the branch (seen just in front of the tram) amongst many other closures. Further down the road to the right is the Craigentinny Rail depot - for many years now the principal maintenance and stabling point for trains on the east coast route to London.
It's been a while - been busy and now, sick. So much has happened in the past two months, possibly more than the entire of last year combined. All I can say is that life is indeed very unpredictable (I know, everyone says this), and whatever may happen that makes things seem bleak - it's up to us to stay strong and overcome it. Ourselves, and no one else.
Haven't got much of a voice to speak of now; my tonsils are in quite a bad shape thanks to the infection, and I'm stressed out having to miss so many classes in a otherwise hectic semester. I can't believe it's been almost two months since the last upload. Shall try to get another upload soon (definitely not two months later).
Took this while out hunting for a certain restaurant, during the earlier trip to China. Only managed three quick shots because there were people coming from behind and I thought this shot would look better this way. I know it's a little 'dark', this shot, but I figured it's better this way (still a fan of darker tones afterall). It feels like this shot could have been done better, but right now I'm just feeling too congested to be thinking properly.
I 've just had an amazing discovery today. It all happened when I took the usual commute route to home through the local streets in Fremont. I have taken this route, perhaps, more than a few hundred times when Northbound I-680 was heavily congested. I don't why I have not noticed these ruins as shown in the photo every time I passed here. Perhaps I was paying too much attention to the traffic in front. So today, I stopped at this very spot, in front of the traffic light at the intersection between Washington Blvd and Osgood Rd, When I glanced over to my right, these ruins immediately caught my eyes. I couldn't believe I had never noticed them before. My immediate thought was that they must be of some historical significant. So when the traffic lights turned green, I quickly drove my car to the side street behind that big house in the photo, and then walked myself to this very same spot. I took a few photos of the site and immediately searched for its history with Google. Lo and behold, this used to be the main building of Gallegos Winery, which was supposed to be the largest one in California way back in the late 19th century. Unfortunately, the building collapsed during the big San Francisco Earthquake in 1907. These ruins are what was left of it.
Incidentally, this site is directly on top of the Hayward Fault. Apparently, there are supposed to be sensor equipment set up by California Geological Survey to monitor the fault line within the premises. Now, I am wondering if the residents of that big house know what they are sitting on with their property. Anyhow, today's discovery really made my day.
Here 're more information about this historical site. Enjoy the read.

Rail replacement is happening near a busy shopping center in Richmond, Texas near Houston. This machine makes frequent trips over the crossing ino the center and a team of "crossing guards" manually direct vehicles safely through the confusing, congested roadway.
The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) A1 Class is an English class of 0-6-0T steam locomotive. Designed by William Stroudley, 50 members of the class were built in 1872 and between 1874 and 1880, all at Brighton Works. The class has received several nicknames, initially being known as "Rooters" by their south London crews. However, the engines were more famously known as "Terriers" on account of the distinctive 'bark' of the exhaust beat.
Originally known as "A" class, these diminutive tank locomotives were designed in 1870 to haul commuter trains on the heavily congested lines in South and South-East London. These included routes from London Bridge to both East and West Croydon, London Victoria to Sutton and the line from Victoria to London Bridge via. Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill, as well as operating on the East London Railway under the Thames through the Thames Tunnel designed by Marc Isambard Brunel. Six locomotives were built for these services during 1872 and were successful due to their high acceleration between the closely spaced station stops and ability to haul reasonably heavy trains. A further 44 were thus built between June 1874 and September 1880 to complement the original six.
A1 (Terrier) Class 0-6-0T No. W10 'Cowes' (669) (69 ‘Peckham’) designed by William Stroudley, built in 1874 at Brighton Works. Rebuilt to A1X in April 1930.
W10 was Hire purchased for £700 by Isle of Wight Central Railway on 18 April 1900 as No. 10 Cowes, went to Southern Railway on Grouping. Withdrawn May 1936. Stored at Eastleigh from 1940. Scrapped at Eastleigh Works (BR) March 1949.

We took our three younger grandchildren down to Swanage, Dorset for the day.
Swanage isn’t the easiest place to get to. It’s very popular which means that the roads that take you to it are often pretty congested. But when you do eventually get there it’s worth it. Even more so on a nice sunny day!
The picture was taken on our walk down from parking on a side street about a mile away from the seafront, and then as we walked along the promenade towards the cliffs.
We had lunch in Harry Ramsden’s fish and chip shop, though none of us had fish! It’s not the cheapest for food but it was pretty good.
The children in the picture are Eowyn, Willow and Wulf.
We were there from around lunchtime until about 4 O’Clock. The rest of the day was sitting in a car trying to get there and back again!
The Royal Palace of Caserta in Italy is a former royal residence that was built in the 18th century. It is the largest royal residence in the world.
Constructed for the Bourbon kings of Naples, the Palace covers an area of about 235,000 m. The architect of this magnificent palace was Luigi Vanvitelli.
The whole architectural complex at Caserta was primarily designed to give the kingdom a new capital.
The King wanted a new royal court and administrative center for the kingdom, in a location protected from sea attack, and distant from the revolt-prone and congested city of Naples.

With the A1 Trunk road closed due to a lorry fire, getting to this event proved difficult with all roads congested. Those early problems proved all worthwhile with this superb charter by Neil Cave and his team at Timeline Events. Barrow Hill yard was bathed in fabulous afternoon sunshine and the LMS engines looked superb. Just in shot on the far left we have 3F Class No 47406, star of the show of course with the Royal Scot headboard we have 46233 'Duchess of Sutherland', behind with IM25 we have Jubilee Class No 45690 'Leander', then 'Flying Pig No 43106, Black 5 No 45305 and behind the Class 5 we have 8F No 8274. Nice to see and briefly chat with Pete Hackney aka loose_grip_99 who was part of the 45305 team. The evening got better when we went inside the roundhouse with the Duchess and then later outside back in the yard . A superb evening that was well organised.

This is by far the sunniest picture I've got of YJ06 YSP. It's pictured here on 17.2.23, waiting to make the turn into a rather congested Lincoln bus station.
The scrolling via points on the blind make it look like it came here via York. It's actually a village just south of Coningsby called New York. Obviously not *that* New York, though I dare say it's nicer.

Europe, Portugal, Lisboa, Alfama, Carris, Eléctrico, Passenger, School kid, Dog, (cut from all sides)
The Eléctricos of Lisbon are one of the defining factors that make Lisbon the city that it is. Yes, icons they are! Propelling themselves through the congested inner city with its narrow and winding streets full of anarchist drivers and daredevil pedestrians....it's really a sight to behold. The old trams are often loaded to their full capacity and beyond that - some passengers never get it in, just attach themselves to some protruding elements of the Eléctrico’s bodywork. Drivers must me tough yet suave dealing with all that.
These are the makings of the delightful and lively Eléctrico gestalt with a high density of little instant stories along the route. We walked from the Largo das Portas do Sol to the Praça do Comércio – one of the main arteries of the Eléctrico network - trying to capture these stories and sometimes just suggesting them..
After the two previous posts that mainly set the urban context, it's time to zoom in.
Photographs taken by me at Point Pleasant Beach. Shot with the Sigma 19mm F/2.8 DG DN Art. At F/11 Shutter speed 4 seconds ISO 100.
It was quite a nice 4th of July full of crowds of people that wanted to spend their weekend at the beach to see the big show. It felt very pre-covid as the crowds were overwhelmingly congested on the Boardwalk. I shot simultaneously with two cameras. The first camera was with a crop sensor. The A6300 with a wide angle lens the Sigma 19mm. Which this series showcases.. The second camera I shot with was my A7Riii with my Sony 50mm F/1.2 GM. The show was suppose to start at 9:00 PM and eventually started at 9:30 PM. Unfortunately, due to the delay it rained a little bit, and some of my photos will reflect that. However, I found the photos that were affected by the droplets of rain falling on the front lens elements to be characterful. That's is why I have decided to share them rather than delete them.

Yesterday my wife and I decided to visit Knaresborough. With a mixture of nice weather, it being a Bank holiday weekend and half term a whole load of other people did too! With quite a few patrons taking to rowing up and down the River Nidd, sailing through the arches of the Knaresborough Viaduct. I got this shot while walking back to the car noticing that the river wasn't quite so congested.
Stonehaven services have been revised over the past six months. The town service is now simplified as the 106 operated by Bluebird again where as previously there was two different services split between Bluebird and Nicoll.
Previously Bluebird would use a Solo on the town service not sure if the use of 27808 is typical and that it interworks with the 7 or if this was an odd working.
Barclay Street can get quite congested when all buses turn up at once which they tend to do to allow passengers to interconnect between routes.
This is a disused warehouse that my friend lives in. Its been a paradise to shoot in. The sheer amount of space is incomprehensible both within the congested urban landscape that we live in, and as a physically imposing space of nothingness. I'm looking forward to exploring it more. I've sold it to fellow photographer that I will take down there at the end of the month, as a blank canvas. It can be a place that will be as big, or as little as they want it to be, limited only by imagination.
Bearded Iris is a subgenus of Iris in the family Iridaceae. It has been divided into six sections; Pogon Irises, Psammiris, Oncocylclus, Regelia, Hexapogon and Pseudoregelia. Pogon Irises refer to the Greek word 'pogon' for beard. Iris takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow.
Bearded Iris are identified by the conspicuous "beards" on each of the lower petals of the blossoms. They come in an astounding array of colors and color combinations and bloom from early spring to early summer.
In general, nearly all species of Iris are found in temperate northern hemisphere zones, from Europe to Asia and across North America. Although diverse in ecology, Iris is predominantly found in dry, semi-desert, or colder rocky mountainous areas. Other habitats include grassy slopes, meadowlands, bogs and riverbanks.
Various wild forms of Iris and naturally occurring hybrids form the basis of almost all modern hybrid bearded irises. Bearded Irises are sometimes incorrectly referred to as German Iris. Incorrect because Iris germanica is sterile.
Bearded Irises are classified as Dwarf, Tall, or Aril. These elegant flowers are easy to cultivate and propagate and have become very popular in gardens. They are best planted as bare root plants in late summer, in a sunny open position with the rhizome visible on the surface of the soil and facing the sun. They should be divided in summer every two or three years, when the clumps become congested.

For any drivers who fight congested freeway traffic everyday, here's a reminder of when driving is fun and easy. Somewhere along Highway 85 in Wyoming with miles and miles of open sky, rolling hills, good roads and very few vehicles.
Some of the oddities found on the Reading network include the Greenwave services which shuttle between the town centre and business/industrial area South of Reading. They also use a dual carriageway for a decent amount of time, allowing for some "gas thrash". although the road is often congested.
The most interesting part, for me, is the desolate terminus at the Madejski Stadium (when there's no football) and travelling though the Green Park development area, where lots of offices, lakes and construction sites can be found.
I'd definitely recommend the Greenwave if you come to Reading, but the timetable is extremely confusing and I would simply suggest turning up on Station Road between 10 and 4, and catching the 53. That's easiest and guarantees a good ride.
The Park Grill
Gatlinburg, Tennessee
After our Cades Cove visit, Ruth Ann and I went into Gatlinburg for dinner before heading back to Cherokee. I didn't realize at the time how lucky we were, but I saw the large, rustic building of The Park Grill, quickly decided to give the place a try, and parked in one of the few available spaces on the lot. It was still rather early for dinner -- just after 5 -- but all we'd had for lunch were hot dogs in a Cades Cove visitor center. Our Park Grill meals were very good (both beef and chicken involved moonshine in their preparation, if it was not just menu hype), so we said it was our anniversary dinner, although a few days early.
The big sign on the right says Great Smoky Mountains National Park is America's most-visited national park, and the sign within that sign says you are in a sanctuary when in the park. The dark brown sign in front of it warns against feeding the bears and, in print probably too small to be read on some devices, gives some numbers that should make people think: "Visitors injured by bears in the park last year, 7; this year, 16." The sign probably is historic, as it didn't look as if the numerals can readily be changed to be updated.
After dinner, Ruth Ann wanted to pick up at a pharmacy a few things she'd neglected to pack, so we headed to Walgreens. The street was parked full, and parking lots nearby charged a flat $8 -- not bad, perhaps, if parking for the day, but not good for a 10-minute stop. Next day, we found a pharmacy in Bryson City, North Carolina, where parking was not a problem. Our impression is that Cherokee, Bryson City, and the portion of Great Smoky Mountains National Park near them are much less "touristy" and congested than Cades Cove and Gatlinburg on the Tennessee side (I doubt that Pigeon Forge, with Dollywood, etc., would alter the impression).

Make no mistake about it, there is no skyline like New York City's. Here is a 5-photo pano looking north from atop the Empire State Building.
A little known fact: the view from the top of the building is so high you can actually see the curvature of the Earth.

This is another exciting night image from the congested and intriguing intersection of Jordan Street and Nathan Road in Kowloon.
My friend Bruce Mercer's best efforts would not be enough to get ahead of a Nickel Plate Berkshire clicking off the miles at 50-plus-per east of Sheffield, Illinois. It just was never going to happen and this was as close as we came with US highway 6 heavily congested with chasers on this run during Train Festival 2011. And it was HOT. I don't think the temperature went below 100 even at night for the few days we were out there. But it was a memorable trip and we came away with a lot of nice photos and memories, and this image is my favourite by far.
