Taken during King Tides Fall 2021
From NOAA -
A King Tide is a non-scientific term people often use to describe exceptionally high tides. Tides are long-period waves that roll around the planet as the ocean is "pulled" back and forth by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun as these bodies interact with the Earth in their monthly and yearly orbits. Higher than normal tides typically occur during a new or full moon and when the Moon is at its perigee, or during specific seasons around the country

I bet she is thinking "I drove HOW far to see THIS!?
This shot just shows that I was not kidding when I said we could barely see into the canyon while visiting there in May. This was what it was like for a good portion of the two days we were at the south rim of the Grand Canyon.
FYI....I have no Idea who this girl is, she just happened to be there to give the shot some perspective and feeling.
SULLO SFONDO IL CAMPANILE DELLA CHIESA DI SAN BARNABA
La chiesa di San Barnaba è un edificio religioso della città di Venezia ubicato nel campo omonimo, nel sestiere di Dorsoduro, non lontano da Ca' Rezzonico e dal ponte dei Pugni.
Chi non ha visto Indiana Jones e l’ultima crociata? A Venezia potrete visitare la Chiesa di San Barnaba, con la facciata che si utilizzò nel film come Biblioteca Veneziana.
Se pensiamo alle scene di questo film, ricordiamo che Indy ed Elsa, a un certo punto, scendono dal vaporetto, e quest'ultima accompagna l'uomo alla biblioteca dove scomparse suo padre. La facciata della biblioteca è, in realtà, quella della Chiesa San Barnaba.
Parlando della chiesa, dobbiamo dire che, per delusione di molti, si tratta di un edificio religioso normale, costruito verso la metà del XVII secolo.

IN THE BACKGROUND THE BELL TOWER OF THE CHURCH OF SAN BARNABA
The church of San Barnaba is a religious building in the city of Venice located in the campo of the same name, in the Dorsoduro district, not far from Ca 'Rezzonico and the Ponte dei Pugni.
Who hasn't seen Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? In Venice you can visit the Church of San Barnaba, with the facade that was used in the film as the Venetian Library.
If we think about the scenes of this film, we remember that Indy and Elsa, at a certain point, get off the vaporetto, and the latter accompanies the man to the library where her father disappeared. The facade of the library is actually that of the San Barnaba Church.
Speaking of the church, we must say that, to the disappointment of many, it is a normal religious building, built in the mid-17th century.

As I'd mentioned on my Steam Sunday post this whole Duluth trip was planned and booked months ago for this specific weekend with the goal of photographing the Lake Superior Railroad Museum's 2-8-0 steam locomotive DMIR 332 on a series of weekend trips to Two Harbors. Alas a couple weeks before my trip it was announced that she was sidelined with a serious and expensive issue that would take time to repair. I was disappointed but hoped to at least get one of their classic diesels in its place on their Two Harbors excursions that were scheduled for Fro-Sun. Later my disappointment would really turn to dismay when they announced at the last minute ALL all the Two Harbors runs were canceled in their entirety due to an unrelated mechanical issue with one or more of their coaches on their second train set.
If it were not for what you see here there would not have been a single move on the Lakefront main outside of the immediate Duluth area where the short Duluth Zephyr trains run. However, I almost have to say that as far as consolation prizes go this is hard to top and may honestly be a fair trade!
A blast from the past finds a real live Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range ore train on historic home rails in 2024! The North Shore Scenic Railroad, the operating arm of the Lake Superior Railroad museum, secured a contract to move taconite pellet chips and fines from Two Harbors to Duluth and interchange to the BNSF. These cars are being loaded intermittently at the north end of the Lakefront Line just above CN's Two Harbors yard at a place the NSSR refers to as Marbles and then travel the entire length of the 26 mile normally passenger only route. On Wednesday September 11, 2024 DMIR 193 has 11 loads in tow as they pass over the Knife River bridge at its outlet into Lake Superior at about MP 19.7 on the Lake Divisio.
This historic route along the shore was built by the Duluth and Iron Range Railway in 1886 and was shuttered by the DMIR in 1982 and slated for abandoned. Fortunately it was saved in 1988 when St. Louis and Lake Counties jointly purchased the line for preservation and excursion passenger service.
Very much on home rails, DMIR 193 was built by EMD in Apr. 1960 as an SD18, one of nineteen the Missabe purchased, and was later rebuilt and chop nosed at Proctor Shop in 1992 and reclassified as an SD-M. Retired and donated to the museum in 1998, it received this paint job at Proctor in 2002 and is regularly used on the NSSR's assorted passenger trains, but for a moment has returned to its ore hauling roots!

An unlucky choice of location on what turned out to be a mainly sunny afternoon, old-school black and white to the rescue. D1015 roars through Mallerstang on the last mile of the climb to Ais Gill with the return leg of Vintage Trains’ “Western Mountaineer”, 1Z16 1509 Carlisle-Birmingham New St.
Where are my nice cans? 66585 was not what I wanted, or would have made an effort for. The shed works 4L75 Trafford Park-Felixstowe, passing Althorp on the Northampton loop.

Cape Disappointment is at the southern edge of the Long Beach area of Washington State. Almost borders Oregon. Very misleading name, not a disappointment at all! We didn't have much time to spend here but we are both pretty excited to go back. Absolutely beautiful area with lots of different areas to explore. There are 2 lighthouses on the property and this is the only one that you can gain entrance to. you can actually climb all the way to the top! The outcrop overlooks the Pacific and its about 200 ft straight down to rocks and sea.....can't wait to go back during the stormy season!!
This was not the sunset I was hoping for after trekking to the top of Wainstones in the north York Moors, but it is not the disappointment in the title. Here follows my email to the North Yorks National Park and North Yorks Fireservice….. “As a keen Landscape photographer on Sunday evening (24/03/2019) I decided to walk to the Whinstone’s from Clay Bank, hopefully to catch a nice sunset. The walk that evening was upsetting. I set off along the bottom of the crags intending to go on the well paved Cleveland way across the escarpment on the way back. The upset came on the route back. I could see and smell recent patchy heather burns spoiling areas by the path which were beautiful in bloom a couple of years ago. The smell was the upsetting thing as it smelt unnatural like diesel accelerant. My suspicions were further aroused when I saw an oil soaked pavement slab on the Cleveland way path. But if I needed any proof I then came across sitting in the middle of the moor a 20 gallon open (no top) plastic container half full of diesel along with a full 5 gallon plastic petrol container. I know they burn heather as part of moorland management which I have issues with anyway, but using accelerant to start these fires in the first place is disgusting. As responsible bodies for this area surely you can’t condone this activity. Leaving the diesel in the middle of the moor is downright reckless, being that it is a very popular route/area and could have been missed used by anybody, remember Saddleworth Moor last year.”
Cleo Wordsmith dreamed of being a reporter for the local newspaper. He beleev he would be really good because his dawter said all the other reporting was so grotesk, especially stories about wimmin. Unfortunately, the reporting masheen was hard to break into and Cleo never lived his dream. Instead, he opened a soop kitchen on an iiland in the Aegean Sea.

I met up with members of the Pilchuck Camera Club to shoot the king tide at Cape Disappointment, which is the entry into the Columbia River on the Washington coast. I have to admit after seeing some of the photos of other members of the group I was kind of disappointed in the results I got. As disappointed as I was in my pictures I have to admit I really enjoyed getting the old chuckwagon out for the first time this year and spending time with the photo group.
Most of the day was overcast; the morning was a disappointment. But there were a couple of hours around noon when the light varied as the sun peeked out or shone through the clouds. Here is the large version of this on black.
I'll be around to visit all your photostreams tomorrow. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
The beautiful and diverse Pacific Northwest. The beach is never too far away and the forest is within reach. And the name doesn’t do any justice because this beach is absolutely beautiful
The old Cape Disappointment lighthouse on what was once part of Fort Canby, and is now the Cape Disappointment State Park in Washington.
This old church has been vacant for a very long time and was always locked up tightly whenever I passed by.
Then someone popped the lock, so of course I had to peek. There was nothing but disappointment inside — it has been scraped clean of every bit of detail.
We have left Marias Pass behind and are heading east of Browning. A quick stop at the Lewis & Clark Expedition Camp Disappointment was next up. My family was not very impressed with the monument. It obviously does not receive much maintenance and a favorite target of the locals (literally and figuratively). But, hey things improved a bunch when a BNSF grain train with an EMD leader came into view!
Having found the perfect spot to get a picture of the North Pole Express steam train, returning from its morning trip to Ashley, i waited for about 45 minutes. Then i heard the whistle and saw the light down the track. Next thing i know this diesel loco is pulling the train, because they don't have a way to put the 1225 steam loco back in front in Ashley.

Had the location cleared of tree limbs with the light window and train coinciding at the right time and CSX had to add two Gevos to J767's standard cab consist while in Queensgate. CSX's power situation lately has me pondering taking up a new hobby.
Feel so close and yet so far,
Feel so deep and yet shallow...
Feels like right in front of me, and yet
Couldn't see anything
This soul is dancing on the fire of emptiness,
when there is a sound "gotta go",
trying to have a word but no chance,
the clock seems stop clicking for a moment,
and heart stops pumping...
would love to cry but no tears,
would love to scream but no voice,
just a weakening breath,
hours had gone, passed the mountains, hills and oceans
and the only thing left just "a weakening breath"

After the train at Velingrad, I had planned two more photos on the Rhodopes railway, but the first train I just missed due to traffic and the second one materialised only as a replacement bus service... So I headed for the Troyan Pass to take some pictures on one of the last lines in Bulgaria with diesel-loco-hauled trains, only to find that said pass was closed due to snowfall - forcing me into a huge detour via the outskirts of Sofia, and missing a few photo opportunities due to that time loss. When I finally arrived, this greeted me: thick clouds, and a class 07 loco instead of the scheduled class 55. While I can live with the latter, the former is a pity. But well, nothing compared to the disappointments that lay ahead (but I will get back to that later).
07 111 has more than enough power on board to accelerate its single coach out of Ablanitsa station (a lineside halt, really) en route from Levski to Troyan. Ablanitsa, 19-03-2022.
CP 8-474's power, a flood detour train from the CP's River Line, had just cut away from its train and was pulling across York Road for headroom.
The "plan" was to reverse into Bensenville and pick up a fourth locomotive. A few hours later, the consist re-emerged from the yard sans the first two motors. Replacing the former Conrail SD40-2 and CP GP38-2 was a pair of way less appealing locos.
