Another river, another reflection. The recent 1Z10 Blyth and Tyne trip was blest with some good weather. This time an Ashington bound class 185 Northern Rail unit crosses the river Blyth over Bedlington Viaduct also known as "The Black Bridge". 15-01-25.

In January 2016, the local chapter of the National Railway Historic Society ran a special excursion train from Batesville to Grenada, Mississippi recapturing the lost times of Illinois Central's famous daily streamliners the "Panama Limited" and "City of New Orleans" that used to race up and down this corridor between Chicago and New Orleans.
Duck Crossing signs around here are as popular as they are, I always wanted to find
a right one for better photographic composition, this could be the one !

Took this shot with my good old buddy Pentax !

Today we walked along the Thames Path from Grays to Purfleet, which took us under the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge at the Dartford Crossing. I think I have managed to capture something of the misty stillness, which was so atmospheric today!

Countess heads back to Llanfair Caereinion on Saturday 15th August 2020. An experiment in black and white images.
The level crossing uses an Arduino controlling two micro servos and an MP3 player to play the “ding-ding” sound.
Features:
* Five distance sensors to detect trains – outer and inner approach from each direction and one to detect if the crossing is occupied (inner approx. 6 baseplates from crossing, outer approx. 12 baseplates away).
* Lights flash and ding sounds when any sensor detects a train.
* Booms lower a few seconds after lights start or immediately when inner sensors are triggered.
* Booms raise a few seconds after inner sensors are clear; lower again if inner sensors are reoccupied.
* Lights stop a few seconds after all sensors are clear.
* Five indicator lights show status of each sensor.
* Volume button to change volume of ding.
* Sensor button to change sensor threshold or disable outer sensors.
These are the original booms from my childhood 4.5V trainset. I think from set 146. Any tooth marks are mine!

Two men wait on the sidewalk for the traffic light to change, San Francisco
Taking a brief break from the stream of photographs of eastern Sierra Nevada fall colors — I think I need to rest my eyes! — I'm next sharing a couple more San Francisco street photography images from early September of this year, when I joined a group of fellow photographers to wander about in some downtown areas. We started in the late afternoon, with the plan of shooting in the sunset and twilight and then continuing right on into the night. This photograph comes from a later hour, shortly before I wrapped up for the evening.
We eventually ended up in San Francisco's Chinatown district. This is, of course, a popular tourist area during the daytime, but it has a different character in the evening as the shops close up. From here we wandered down to the Union Square area, where there are almost always crowds of shoppers, tourists, and people passing through. At about this point it was time for me to head back to where I started, so I left the group and started back toward my car, stopping occasionally to make a few more photographs. In a way, this photograph is a bit of a lie and a contrivance — though all photographs are such to some extent. Here, in a rather busy area, I spotted the two men along at a corner and by choosing my composition careful (and quickly, this being street photography!) I managed to exclude the rest of the bustling scene and place them against a sort of amorphous form of the back ground building and in front of the geometry of the cross walk.

Engineer Michael Pyle (aka The Pyle Driver) is at the controls of NS 708 as seen here crossing the Tallapoosa River. While this may be another coal drag to the average viewer, for us foamers in North Georgia, this was possibly the last chance to catch one of these runs up Dugdown Mountain.
The former Central of Georgia line between Griffin, GA & Chattanooga, TN via a short stint on the Southern between Brice Station & Rome, was always a glorified branch line, even back in the CofG days. After being absorbed by the Southern & eventually NS, the line only saw its status diminish even more, especially with the line now only going as far "east" per the old CofG timetables as Senoia since the 90s after having the portion between there & Griffin disconnected. With that, the only road trains that would venture on here were the coal drags that would serve Plant Wansley & Plant Yates. After the two remaining units at Yates were converted to Natural Gas in 2015 & Units 1 & 2 at Wansley being idled a couple of years ago, Many thought that would be it & that the line would only see the local traffic for its fairly small customer base from here on out. Out of nowhere last summer though, some limestone trains ran to Wansley in preparation for the units to be brought back online. After a few coal drags had already ran, I finally got my first chance to get one of these runs on December 23rd, 2021. With clear skies & lots of friends trackside to also catch this run, it was without a doubt a great day to get my first run up the dreaded Dugdown grade.
While this was a joyous moment for the railfan me, the realist was also having to deal with the reality of the situation as well. Georgia Power has shared its ambitious goals to shut down all but 4 of its coal fired units by 2028 (all 4 are at Plant Bowen). The first ones on the chopping block you may ask are units 1 & 2 at Wansley. With their hopes of shutting down units 1 & 2 by the end of this year (2022) being known, I do hope that I get at least one more chance to catch this run before it happens, but at least I'll be able to say I did get one. Now we just gotta hope the customer base will help keep the C-Line alive & thriving, especially on the "west" end between Bremen & Cedartown. 12-23-21
The Friendship Bridge or Bridge Integration and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, is a road construction project located in the TO-080 highway in the state of Tocantins.
The Bridge Cardoso connects the city of Palmas Luzimangues the district, the city of Porto Nacional, in addition to the nearby town of Paraíso do Tocantins and the BR-153 highway. The work consists of three bridges and four landfills, makes crossing over the Rio Tocantins, more precisely on the lake formed by HPP Paved. The longest bridge has 1 mile long and the other two each 100 meters in length. The complex totals 8000 meters in length. Cost $ 146 million in funds from the state government.
The Bridge Fernando Henrique Cardoso was conceived in the format causeway, is the second longest bridge of its kind in Brazil (second only to Helio Serejo bridge, located between Bataguassu - MS President and Epitácio - SP).
この歩道橋を渡ると、そこは渋谷のカオティックな世界です。
Once you cross this pedestrian bridge, you will find yourself in the chaotic world of Shibuya.
Lunchtime crowds at Newcastle NSW,not a large city by any standards but like a big country town,I think that is why I love her so much.This was shot in the Hunter Street mall at a crossing.The doorway opposite is a French Australian café,you can probably see the two flags of friendship.I shot this image on the Fuji X Pro 1 with the kit 16-50 lens.
I have a love and hate relationship with LED traffic lights, on one hand they are a fantastic light source for photography, on the other, the way they are set up in Moscow – if you're walking directly in the beam and happen to glance at it, you're effectively blinded for a couple of seconds, not a good prospect while crossing a road with Russian traffic culture...

Here is the Jeffersonville Crossing outlet center in Jeffersonville, Ohio. This shopping center is one of two major outlet centers built the same year (1993) just one exit apart on Interstate 71 in Jeffersonville. The other outlet center built was Prime Outlets (now Tanger Outlets) and was built with the parking lot surrounding it. Jeffersonville Crossing was built around the parking lot. Today, Jeffersonville Crossing is empty except for a few independent shops while Tanger Outlets is mostly occupied. I really don't think this (mostly rural) area has enough people to support two outlet centers, especially since newer outlet centers have been built near Cincinnati and Columbus.
