Macro of a circuit board. C10, C11, and C12 but no COVID-19 in this picture but just because you can't see it doesn't mean it is not real!
Connections with family and friends are so important during this time of social distancing, always being mindful of prudent steps to keep the pandemic at bay. May we develop the "capacity" to love and serve in new ways and not "resist" God's hand in teaching us and changing us during this time world wide reformation.
Fun fact, famous aircraft designer Sir Geoffrey de Havilland was a first cousin of the movie actress Olivia de Havilland. I only just realised the connection!
The elegant looking Dragon Rapide was a successful airliner of the 1930s. More than 700 were built from 1934 and served many airlines and militaries. Quite a number remain flyable in 2023 and several can regularly be seen conducting pleasure flights at Duxford aerodrome.
They can carry 8 passengers up to approx 500 miles at a cruising speed of about 130mph.
As for inflight entertainment, you could bring your own newspaper or look out of the window - all seats were window seats.
Looking towards Luton, along Luton Road. The Nickey or Nicky Line refers to the Midland Railway branch railway from Harpenden main-line station to Hemel Hempstead and a siding connection to the LNWR at Boxmoor. It's now a cycle path but with a piece of embankment removed just before the site of Hemel Hempstead Station. High embankment here, so cyclists must dismount and bring down on a ramp.
Driving home I noticed that the sky was becoming inflamed with colors and I knew I only had a limited window of opportunity to capture it. I pulled off the bridge and drove down between the twin bridges and caught the sky only moments before the colors faded and the sky fell into darkness.
For this weeks theme I decided (with my husbands help) to go with the connection between where two pieces of wood are joined. This picture is 3" x 2.5" and is of a small chalk box used many years ago in schools. Remember chalk? Is it still used today in schools or have we moved to an electronic chalk board?
This may be my last submission for a while as I head out on holidays for a month. Happy Macro Monday everyone!
That's what the label reads. Belt Line Junction was where a branch split off south of Hurley, WI and crossed the Montreal River to run on the south side of the mining areas in Ironwood. This shot is a complement to my previous post of freight 282 at the same spot. In this case you can see Norrie Location over the 2nd and 3rd unit and Newport Location to the right of the first unit, both being on high terrain. This was train 215, the North Woods Fisherman, enroute to Chicago. Although the date says August 22, 1960, a Sunday, I'm inclined to think it was actually Saturday night August 21, 1960. The middle unit is one of the FP-9AM units "rebuilt" from an FTA in 1955, rated at 1500HP. Since it's got MU connections on the nose and rear it's in the middle of the normal 2 unit E set. In this case the leader is E-8A 5030-B, then 4053-A, and unknown E-7A. The reason for the middle unit is it's the power for train 211-123 and 212-124, the Wisconsin Lakes, that ran from Chicago to Land O'Lakes, WI, summer only, northbound as a separate train on Friday nights, and southbound on Sunday nights, being combined with train 215 at Monico, WI, for the rest of the trip to Chicago. I recall the story being the unit was returned to Monico from Land O'Lakes in the wee hours of Saturday morning in time for the NB NWF to pick it up and bring it to Ashland for servicing. The published schedules would not allow this, so I can only assume there was something wrong with it and the NWF had to wait at Monico northbound. If the picture is indeed on a Saturday night, then the unit is being returned to Monico for Sunday night's 212-124 out of Land O'Lakes.
She has a deep connection to almost any animal, but horse's are her true love. She finally has a place to go to learn so much about these wonderful animals.

The blogpost with all film photos I took when Noukka stayed with me is up!
A vibrant sunset paints the horizon in deep orange and crimson hues, while a solitary telecom tower rises above the dark silhouette of the forest. The scene captures the harmony between nature’s colors and modern technology, as signals travel invisibly through the glowing sky.
Fun Fact:
Telecommunication towers are often placed on elevated terrain to maximize coverage. At sunset, these structures become striking silhouettes against the colorful backdrop, symbolizing the invisible networks that keep us connected.
Touching wedding rings - a tiny physical connection, which belies the huge emotional one they represent.
A bit scratched and marked after many happy years, but still doing their job!

Willy, the dogs and I started out from our homes in Capel Curig today and took a long lingering walk up Braich y Ddeugwm before returning via Y Foel Goch.
Willy's an author whose work is focused on environmental themes and he is one of the few people I know who has as deep a spiritual and emotional connection with these mountains as I do.
Walking with Willy is great, we just blather on in ways it would be difficult to do in other company...
"We stepped into the lift. The two of us, alone
We looked at each other and that was all.
Two lives, a moment, fullness, bliss.
At the fifth floor she got out and I went on up
knowing I would never see her again,
that it was a meeting once and for all,
that if I followed her I would be like a dead man in her tracks
and that if she came back to me
it would only be from the other world."
