Three views of a peculiar connector socket... and each of those evokes something totally different to me, as the titles of the three variants can attest. And it was not even intentional at the time of the shooting. 😇
The socket consists of a matrix of 6x6 (minus the ones in the corners, so 32 in total) golden plated contacts, whose directions are alternating at 90° of each other for each row, so as to guarantee an optimal robustness of the connection, probably. The dimension of the square matrix is 4x4cm, so it complies ideally with the 3" rule of the Macro Mondays group.
For the context, this socket is part of an old electrical device. I salvaged it from an electronic waste collecting point, out of curiosity, as It didn't look like anything I had seen before. With this week's "Socket" topic, it became obvious that I could finally make good use of the "thing". Entering in a search engine some reference number I found on the object, I could trace its origin as being a "communication test device" being used by the army.
Having opened it, I was impressed by the thoughtful engineering that went into its conception. Now that the object played its role a last time, I happily returned it to the electronic junk collection point, albeit as a heap of dissembled parts. 😊
VIA 186 snakes its way through the snow-covered wilderness of northern Ontario. The flag-stop service is a lifeline between remote communities. Connecting small towns like White River, Sultan, and Bisco, offering residents and travelers alike a chance to reach distant destinations that might otherwise be unreachable during the harsh winter months. Inside, the warmth of the cabin contrasts with the frigid world outside, as passengers gaze out at the endless expanse of snow, knowing that this train offers not just transportation, but a vital link between the northern communities that rely on it.

tunnel junction between M3 & M4 Copenhagen metro. it is an incredible area with intense light that contrast with the entire network and city Hygge ambiance.
What I do is the opposite of building walls. I build bridges. A bridge is something that connects instead of separating.

The equivalent of a twenty-year old girl who has been fascinating the world with her imagination.
This is for Kitty Gallanaugh because she completed her 365 today.
Kitty, I remember seeing your photos for the first time. I remember those vibrant colours, your life and what you see in the world captured so beautifully. I remember going through all of your photos and the messages we exchanged a few days later. The only thing I don't remember is when all that took place. Because at this moment, I feel like I've known you for so long. I don't have a lot to say really that would express how much your work means to me. It's just that when I look at a photo you took, I'm looking at a world that seems perfect. Your perfect little world. Now I know that you went through hard times as well, that it is probably anything but perfect, that you might be just as unsure at times as everybody else. But what you make of it is just so beautiful to look at. So lovely actually. And as a matter of fact that is the one word that I always connect to you in my mind. I am not quite sure as to why that is, but when I think about it it just fits. You are lovely, I’ve seen that in your words, your photos, and even more so in a video you once made. Which is why I am so excited to finally meet you in real life. But for now, this photo is for you and I want to congratulate you for finishing your 365 project. And at the same time I want to thank you, for sharing 365 wonderful photos and more with us in the past year. I've looked at every single one and as a whole, they couldn’t have been any more perfect. I hope you know that, and I hope that your photos will forever be a part of my life.
Happy Monochrome Monday! One of over a dozen pedestrian bridges n Portland, Oregon.

A Westbound stack train heads across the connector track that brought trains off of the SP's Sunset Route and onto the Union Pacific's LA&SL line at the West end of the City of Industry Yard.
These trains used the Union Pacific main to head down to Puente Jct. where they then used ex-Pacific Electric lines to access the ICTF facility in Long Beach.
The consist has SPSF painted SD45R #7420 leading SD45T-2R 6794 and National Helm Leasing SD45 #6692 which was built as the Frisco/SLSF #944.
This was taken in April of 1987.
The super maxi Law Connect had won the previous two Sydney to Hobart line honours. This year however, there were problems with its sails, and it finished second behind Comanche with a time of 2 days 5 hours 50 minutes and 40 seconds.

I have been taking my panning shots at 1/60th, which seems to be ok most of the rime.
As Heritage railway, speed limit 25 mph, so not much movement in wheel, connecting rods et. So thought try 1/40th. If enlarge, I can see some movement so partly successful.
Trouble with the Watercress Line is view points are from the northside, so looking into light. This morning it could not have been worse ! Bright sun, so when photographing train and try to keep same spot as focus, in deep shadow. I usually try to keep the number as focal point, but this morning difficult to see if I was on the right spot.
I fitted polariser to reduce light by 1 1/2 stops as iso at lowest setting without.
Trains run just couple days per week, and now not for winter, so nearly the last chance to try.

There is always a battle to find a good object. Sometimes it becomes grey, monotonous even miserable too! This was an overlooking chapter for sure as it can’t be visible in static condition even from a little distance. While flying, you can only feel and apply your follow through technique to find it. But the fact is that these guys have nearly enough surveillance capacity. My eyes should have been remaining foggy if it didn’t fly from one branch to the other. Despite my lots of doubt, my interest level was started to align with it for at least one shot; but who knows its next move would have been leaving a potentially loving consequence. Truly it was the most glamorous campaign – finally!!
