Regelmäßig fährt der in Hanau stationierte Gleismesszug diverse Bahnstrecken ab, darunter natürlich auch diverse nicht elektrifizierte Nebenstrecken. Heute morgen passte mal alles zusammen: es wurde eine schöne Strecke befahren, das Licht passte und die Sonne war am scheinen. So konnte 725 mit 726 002 fotografiert werden, als er schön knatternd den Bahnhof von Beienheim verlies, dessen Ambiente zu einem umgebauten Uerdinger Schienenbus natürlich perfekt passt. Der Standort war mit dem Fdl abgesprochen und Grüße gehen an die Mitfotografen.

Was actually attracted to the green lichen on the rock to the right and hoped for a great sunset. Alas it fizzled out soon after this picture was taken.

The Mallard is one of 20 species of duck common in Ontario and is probably the most familiar of all.

This species will hybridize with numerous other species. Most all domestic duck breeds have the Mallard as their ancestor.

Pairing takes place in the fall and courtship rituals can be viewed all winter long. Females will swim towards the male with their heads tucked low in the water and both genders will be seen bobbing their heads simultaneously.

This drake is enjoying a good bath.

Scruffles was what I originally named him, but it doesn't roll off the tongue well. So Goose or Goosties, it is.
