5:52 Photograph an event.
Not what I had planned for this weeks challenge ... but I figure departing on a boat to cross Bass Strait counts as an event. We put our car on this ferry a couple of years ago and did a touring holiday of Tassie - it was a wonderful event for us anyway.
Les "Bouchons de Joigny" dans l'Yonne (le 05/09/2021) : reconstitution des bouchons de la Nationale 7 sur la route des vacances (avant la mise en service de l'autoroute du soleil)
After unloading at Utah’s Bonanza Power Plant in the background, the eastbound Deseret Power Railway unit train passes milepost 31 a few miles east of the plant on October 21, 2015.

After meeting an eastbound Burlington Northern coal load at Sully Springs, North Dakota, a westbound departs the siding on the afternoon of August 9, 1991. The empties are powered by three fresh SD60Ms and a SD40-2. Cascade green looked awesome in the Badlands.
Dans le département des Bouches du Rhône, à quelques kilomètres de Marseille, Cassis évoque immanquablement un port de pêche coloré, les calanques, et Frédéric Mistral. Son fameux "Qui a vu Paris, s'il n'a vu Cassis, n'a rien vu" ( Qu'a vist Paris, se noun a vist Cassis, a ren vist" ) n'emprunte rien à l'exagération provençale...
Mais Cassis, c'est aussi un des premiers vignobles classés en France. Un des trois premiers crus français à bénéficier de l' Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée ; un vignoble précieux, 200 hectares pour 1 000 000 bouteilles par an ; 12 domaines qui escaladent les pentes des collines en restanques ; les trois couleurs sont présentes, cependant la majeure partie de la production est du blanc.
La qualité et la globalité du paysage sont exceptionnels : Cassis est bâtie en amphithéâtre en bord de mer entre le Cap Canaille et les Calanques. "Un bijou minéral dans un écrin vert posé sur l'eau bleue de la Méditerranée". La couleur ocre des impressionnantes falaises du Cap Canaille, les plus hautes de France (363 m au Cap Canaille, 399 m à la Grande Tête) s'oppose à la blancheur du Massif des Calanques. Ces deux sites naturels classés comptent parmi les plus beaux du littoral méditerranéen.
La lumière de Provence inspira particulièrement les fauves, Derain ("Une pinède à Cassis-1907), Vlaminck, Matisse, Dufy et le pointilliste Signac ("Baie de Cassis, Cap Canaille"-1889)…
La musée méditerranéen d'Art et Traditions Populaires de Cassis, aménagé dans un ancien presbytère du début du XVIIIe siècle accueille une belle collection de peintres provençaux des XIXe et XXe siècles : Ponson, Crémieux, Guindon, Seyssaud… séduits, eux aussi, par la lumière et le cadre enchanteur.

Hua Lamphong station is the primary railway station in Bangkok - it's an ideal place for photography.
This departing diesel locomotive took me a few tries to get right. Lucky for me, the engine was following a slow departing train, so I had a few chances with quick runs between to get the shot.
Milwaukee Road EMD GP40 No. 2001 leads Soo Line train 249 westbound out of the yard at La Crosse, Wisconsin, on October 3, 1987. A man in the elevated signal tower on the right still manually controls the nearby road grade crossings signals and gates at this late date.
A last look before the hunt resumed.

With an USA crew on board, four "Bigs" start out of Megantic, Quebec, next to the Megantic Manufacturing. This was the only time I had ever shot this location and it took some help from GSP to jar my memory to the right spot!
With their final consist build, the A&O departs south through Berkley Run Junction. Here, the CSX Mountain Subdivision ends and the train will continue its journey over the Cowen Subdivision, a CSX line on long-term lease to the A&O.
An eastbound Erie Lackawanna freight with SD45-2 3672 leading a U33C, here rolling through the east side of Marion, Ohio departing the yard here passing a Penn Central GP9 the morning of February 28, 1976.
A tiny sliver of sunlight catches the front of 3323 as it leads SIRI south through CP-Du Bois. This location is the southernmost of the remaining CTC islands on the Buffalo & Pittsburgh. Although paperwork has been filed to discontinue signals on this line, the CPLs remain lit for now.
After assembling their interchange pickup, MMID UBHF returns for Highfield, MD. The train is seen here at Blue Ridge Summit, in the brief section of the MMID that passes through the state of Pennsylvania.
Moments before sunset on October 7, 2020, Montana Rail Link’s Helena local departs Townsend, Montana, after meeting an eastbound BNSF train there, and storms over the Missouri River bound for a twilight crossing of Winston Hill.
About 90 minutes of pedaling south later. I have passed the small 'mountain' that was visible from the previous panorama. And now looking north back at it.

After three full days of Central Florida downpours, we were finally able to take the rain gear off start the drying off process. It was the same for the eagles and ospreys as they seemed to be bogged down by the heavy rain.
We fished under this fellow for a few hours, the entire time he just kept his head down and pointed into the wind as the bands of rain came through.
It's not just the tourists who are happy when the rains end!
The skiers are just finishing up a day on the slopes as Amtrak’s new Winter Park Express ski train departs Fraser, Colorado, at 4:00 p.m. on January 7, 2017. The train takes skiers from Denver to Winter Park in the morning, with the empty train laying over in Fraser siding and returning to Denver in the evening. Amtrak EMD NPCU No. 406 and three Amtrak Superliners—one coach and two coach/baggage cars—are specially-wrapped by sponsor CenturyLink for the train that will operate Saturdays and Sundays from January through March.
As soon as L620 cleared Apex, L614 opened up onto the main and left town. They would run as light power from here to Moncure where they began their work.
