My contribution to this weeks theme "connection" in the group Macro Mondays, grandma's pearl necklace.
Beautiful morning sunlight illuminates the marshland at Falkenburg, Ont., as a trio of Canadian National EMDs charge Toronto to North Bay train no. 451 along the scenic, albeit often overlooked, Newmarket Subdivision. With tonnage for the ONR, trains 451/450 essentially serve as CN's connection to the North. Linking the big city with the far reaches of Ontario over a system that spans more than 650-miles from North Bay to as far north as Moosonee, west to Hearst, and east to Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, who knows where these cars will go from here! If one thing is for sure though, with the slightest hint of autumn in the air and the blackflies (mostly) at bay, you really can't beat a late summer's morning trackside in this neck of the woods.
Since two weeks I have no internet at home. My provider said that the cable in the street is the reason and it will take quite a while to fix it... :(
So for now I just have my limited phone connection to check mails and other news. Can you remember your life before internet became a normal thing?
Anyway, I'm at my parents place now for Easter holidays. So I have the chance for this upload. I hope everyone is fine. I hope to be back on Flickr as soon as possible.

For the person who is celebrating life today..who loves bridges and light..whose immense talent of capturing such beauty i cannot replicate..but still I try because of his encouragement.. Happy Birthday 🎂 dear Lucian!
this raindrop intrigued me. it held important reflections: reflections of crisscrossed, connected plants. interweaving that’s echoed in the blurred background. we’re all interconnected. our lives are intertwined in beautiful ways.
happy friday, flickr friends! i’m grateful our paths are connected. thanks for your inspiration, support, wisdom, and kindness.
Camber Sands
Camber is a small resort in East Sussex and is not only famous for its sand dunes but its connection to the Pop and Film Industry.
Close to the River Rother the dunes stretch for 3 miles (just over 4.5km) and are unique to East Sussex. Part of the dunes are classified a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the residue are a Site of Nature Conservation Importance.
They were fortified during WWII because of their resemblance to both Desert and Normandy and intense training went on there. There is a ship which lies of the coast called the ‘Avon’ which went down in 1852 and the wreck can be seen at low tide.
Some of the films that were shot here include: The Longest Day; The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner; The Theory of Everything and for those who enjoy a more cultural frame of mind then go no further than ‘Follow That Camel’. What a treat.
Pop Artists include: Suede; Nick Heyward; Fatboy Slim; Paul McCartney and Wings and Squeeze, quite a line up. A terrific place for a beach holiday as there are lots of other things to do with kites, such as surfing; landboarding; buggying and other more physical exercise. Me I have a deckchair and a camera what more is needed. Oh yes, a picnic.

Aster and Chrysanthemum flowers ...
If I had a single flower for every time I think about you,
I could walk forever in my garden.

During Krishna Janmashtami celebrations in India, young boys partake in a cherished tradition of adorning blue paint to emulate Lord Krishna, a revered deity in Hindu mythology. Lord Krishna, often depicted with blue skin, represents divinity, compassion, and playfulness. His birth anniversary, Janmashtami, is marked by various rituals and festivities, including reenactments of his life events.
Krishna's mythology is rich with tales of his divine exploits, teachings, and playful antics as a cowherd in Vrindavan. He is celebrated for his wisdom, compassion, and unwavering devotion to righteousness, as depicted in sacred texts like the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavata Purana. Through Janmashtami celebrations and practices like wearing blue paint, devotees reaffirm their connection to Lord Krishna and seek to embody his virtues of love, devotion, and righteousness in their own lives.
The Nachtigall colliery is located at the entrance to the idyllic Muttental in Witten. Ruhr mining began here more than 300 years ago. First, horizontal tunnels were driven into the mountain to get to the “black gold”, and then vertical shafts.
