Currently, we are unsure if this is a hybrid or "nature's freak" as this specimen was caught by our civil service officer after it caused havoc in one of the busiest highways in Kuala Lumpur.
Note:
Hybrid here means it's from the exotic pet circle @ runaway pet.
Nature's freak-in general this species' natural coloration is either dark brown or light black but the present snake is light orange.
Distribution: China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malay Peninsula, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Laos, Nepal, and Thailand.
Reproduction: This is an oviparous species. Females normally lay 16 to 33 eggs per clutch whereby incubation periods range from 55 to 73 days. Egg-laying takes place from January through March when it's slightly warmer. The females usually stay with her eggs for awhile. There have been reports of interbreeding between Indian cobra (Naja naja) x Monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia)
Description: The dorsal surface may be yellow, brown, gray, or blackish, with or without ragged or clearly defined cross bands. The O-shape marking can be olivaceous, brownish to black above with or without a yellow or orange-colored. In general , it has a black spot on the lower/inner surface of the hood on either side (surprisingly this specimen did not exhibit this trait), and one or two black cross-bars on the belly behind it
Length: Adults can reach a maximum of 2.3 m (7.5 ft) in length. Many larger specimens have been recorded, but this size are rare.
I have always being impressed when I came across stones that seat in a river with strong current flowing through. It seems so fragile but yet it never failed to prove its strength.
Lumsdale Falls, Matlock
Several shoots of unculled and unprocessed images have been dormant on my hard drive since our Japan holiday so I thought I'd spend the day tidying up my directories and give you all a break from my recent offerings, although I've not finished with Japan yet.
A day out at Lumsdale Falls late October with fellow togs Eddie and Pat in search of flowing water and a chance to have a paddle in our wellies. If you've seen the recent humiliation I've suffered at the hands of Eddie... this is payback time. All puns gratefully received

Revelation Energy's Sunny Knott mine in Lackey, KY hasn't loaded in a few months. But former NREX SW10 1287 has been re-numbered LOC 1 & is waiting for the time when it will be called upon to spot hoppers for loading.
Built in 1953 as UP SW9 1826, it was rebuilt (Sep92) by UP-Omaha as UP SW10 1240, retired in mid-1998 & sold to Connell Leasing (Jul98), leased (Oct99) long-term to CP Rail, repainted & renumbered CP 1287, but returned (2002) due to reliability problems, to NREX 1287 (May05) & placed in their lease fleet.
It has been leased to various coal companies since & may've been sold to Revelation Energy.
almost done! after setting this project aside for several months, i'm finally working this morning to finish the last knitting, then must sew the edges (my least-favorite task) and then CUT to make this a cardigan. then all it will need is buttons! i have some abalone shell ones that i think will go nicely with the blue...
This seemingly thin book is heavy on wisdom. If you think of the chain that goes
data -> information -> knowledge -> wisdom,
a lot of books don't spend much time on the wisdom, and if you want wisdom you'll do well here. He has basically 20 short essays on aspects of dealing and resisting; a typical essay will start with an expression of the principle involved, follow with historical examples of how is was handled in the past, and conclude with concrete actions you can take which follow the principle.
It's good and I think you'd do well with it. After you've read it, leave it on the bathroom window sill for your guests.
English:
The aforementioned series was originally intended for pulling light freight trains. Now it is only used for shifting, if there is a shortage of other locomotives, it is also used to pull a lighter freight train. Quite often, however, it is used to pull a work train..We can meet it at almost all major railway stations. At first glance, it differs from its younger and of course also more powerful sister (series 643) mainly by a thinner yellow line horizontally across the entire locomotive (except over the cabin)
In 2019, they began remotorizing the locomotives. Those whose engines were replaced were repainted blue. Currently, this has been done on 642-190, 642-197 and 642-199.
German:
Die vorgenannte Baureihe war zunächst auch zum Ziehen leichter Güterzüge vorgesehen. Sie wird heute nur noch zum Fahren eingesetzt und wenn ein Mangel an anderen Lokomotiven besteht, wird sie immer noch zum Ziehen eines leichteren Güterzuges verwendet. Es wird häufig zum Ziehen eines Arbeitszuges verwendet. Es ist an fast allen größeren Bahnhöfen zu finden. Auf den ersten Blick unterscheidet sie sich von ihrer jüngeren und natürlich auch leistungsstärkeren Schwester (Baureihe 643) vor allem durch die dünnere gelbe Linie, die horizontal über die gesamte Lokomotive (außer über dem Führerstand) verläuft.
Im Jahr 2019 begann man mit der Remotorisierung der Lokomotiven. Diejenigen, deren Motoren ausgetauscht wurden, wurden blau neu lackiert. Derzeit wurde dies für 642-190, 642-197 und 642-199 implementiert.
The light might be wrong but this scene is just so right!
One of the main goals of a photography adventure to California in 2017 was to see the Central California Traction Railroad for the first time. While I missed the GP9s, CCT’s current roster still looks splendid in classic red paint and their modern low emissions unit is one of the more attractive rebuilds I've see. But what I wanted to see most of all regardless of motive power was the famous street running down 1500 ft of B Street and past Stibley Park. In fact this was such a draw that I went back a second time before the trip was over. On the second visit I was rewarded with splendid weather and CCT’s gorgeous SW1500 number 1501 (blt. Nov. 1971 as Southern Pacific 2610) down the street. She is seen here curling off the east leg of the wye out of BNSF'd ex Santa Fe Mormon Yard. on to the south end of the street trackage. The tail switch for thr wye is actually a submarine switch embedded in the pavement and sharp eyes will note the points in the lower left foreground.
The Central California Traction had its origins in 1902 as a streetcar service in Stockton, CA. Conceived by Howard H. Griffiths to compete against Stockton's venerable, narrow-gauge Stockton Electric RR, Griffiths' vision became reality in 1905 with the incorporation of the Central California Traction Co. Modern, standard-gauge electric cars began serving the San Joaquin Valley's inland port city with connections to the mainline trains of the SP, the young ATSF, and the forthcoming WP.
As fate would have it, these three companies would become owners of the CCT in January 1928. "Electric interurban passenger service to Lodi began in 1907 as ownership of the CCT was passed on from Griffiths to wealthy entrepreneurs Herbert and Mortimer Fleishhacker. Further expansion to Sacramento was completed in 1910, with both passenger and freight services offered over the 53-mile line. Soon, 48 daily passenger trains were listed in the timetable, all propelled by a 1,200-volt dc third-rail, the first installation of its kind in the United States. "Although the Stockton streetcar service was a financial failure, a similar service operated by CCT in Sacramento proved successful and ran from 1910 until 1946. Interurban passenger service ended in 1933, even as freight business grew substantially.
In 1946, diesel locomotives replaced the electrics and in 1998 service was ended north of Lodi to Sacramento, though the rails remain in place and the 39 miles of trackage are not officially abandoned. Today the CCT still operates along their original mainline seen here north from Stockton 14 miles to Lodi 5 days a week. And the BNSF and UP as modern day successors to the SP, WP, and AT&SF continue as the road's joint owners.

James was great, and I strongly recommend it, but not drop everything to read it great. This? It’s a follow up to the very good book referenced on the cover.

BNSF currently does not have any room in the yard for the Provo-Denver. Consequently, the train has been tied down in the siding. A van came and picked up the crew and here the train will wait until there is room in the yard and a relief crew can be sent out to the train. Of note, a relatively new ET44C4 is on the point.

This is my current reading! As a matter of fact, I've almost finished it. It's a delightful little book on the basic and necessary elements for landscape photography. Author Michael Frye, an excellent landscape photographer himself, makes, all the time, interesting and instructive comparisons to the methods and ideas of great masters like Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter and Edward Weston, including the well-known Zone System. A real bargain for what it actually delivers.
