"There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure." --- Mark Twain

Digging for clams seemed to be a very popular activity at this beach near Fort Stevens..

Lower Saxony - Göhrde

 

The Göhrde is the largest contiguous mixed forest area in northern Germany. Here you can get to know a natural area that is unique in its own special way. The Göhrde state forest is an impressive woodland area and its core areas are covered with very old trees.

 

Also known for the Göhrde murders.

 

It used to be the hunting ground of the Dukes of Brunswick and Lüneberg and later, the Kings of Hanover and the German Emperor. At the time of the murders the forest stood close to West Germany's border with East Germany.

 

Also the E6 is on the route.

The E6 European long-distance hiking trail is part of the European hiking trail network and runs from Kilpisjärvi in north-western Finland to the Dardanelles in Turkey. The total length is 6030 kilometers.

This is from back in the day when there was plenty of activity down in the open cast pit at Fuxin. But the bucket shovels were searching for seams of coal that were already running out.

 

I detect there is a narrow gauge electric line at the top of the picture. I guess that’s the track running to the depot on the south side of the pit, but how did it fit in with the grand scheme of things.

 

The big electric loco was bringing the coal up to the rim for use in the local power station.

It amazes me that this Red-Shoulder hawk hunts for worms this way. Does he see them or hear them?

Here's a side view of my sister's Jack-o-lantern Goodie Bowl, full of goodies, being explored by one of the many squirrels who have been showing up for our Backyard Harvest Fest.

 

This backside view is something we see over and over. And no matter how many times we see it, a squirrel caboose is still a cute sight to see!

 

The treats being offered in our Goodie Bowls include a mixture of shelled peanuts, pecans and walnut pieces, and there are also whole pecans, walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts and hazelnuts.

The Batten Kill is a truly a time warp, and if you're lucky enough to spend anytime along the line when they are operating you will feel like you have been transported back a half century or more.

 

Here is one such example. No ditch lights, ptc antennas, high viz vests or any other signatures of modern railroading are visible. Here is an Alco RS3 blt. in Sept 1952 on home rails paused beside a 1909 built ex Delaware and Hudson passenger station. This is MP A136.9 on the old D&H Washington Branch and BKRR 4116 has paused just north of the Main Street crossing so engineer and railroad president and owner Bill Taber seen here could get down with shovel in hand to help clear some ice and snow before pushing through a four foot high berm as he and his hardy little crew work to open the railroad after the epic three feet of snow that was dumped on Washington County and much of the northeast.

Dunlin digging in the shallow water

The head in sand demonstration on New Brighton beach. The protesters had to do this three times to make sure their photographers had some good shots.

Here is the protest in Wellington and I have to point out that the sand is so much nicer in Christchurch:

Just digging around in the past and came across this from a dusk shot in winter. I think I overlooked it a few years ago because I had (and still do to some regards) an aversion to manmade things and have attempted to showcase natural beauty in all that is nature. But, I like it, even if it’s full of buildings and unnatural light. Thing is, will it evoke the emotional reaction in time? Not sure but who knows? Anyway, if you have read this far you may agree or disagree with me… (o:

He was actually digging for lugworms!

I was wondering what all these people were doing on a Sunday morning at the beach. Apparently not one of them was going into the water. I found out they were digging for shells in the sand. The water had just retreated leaving behind fresh shells. People like this man collected them in order to sell them on the local market.

We were trying to dig to England to visit some people but we only got to tan grass.

We were digging ourselves out before the sun came up. Stu will get the snowblower out later and finish the front.

A quartet of Utah motors lug a heavy coal train up the east slope of Soldier Summit. With a 6-unit set of mid-train helpers cut-in this was a fabulous train to chase up the hill. These units were usually remarkably clean and made for great photography. The nice thing about the Utah during this time period was you could count on an eastbound empty out of Provo in the morning and the loaded train would head west in the afternoon. Add in the Grande trains and Soldier Summit was a special part of many of my photography trips.

My second attempt at hot wax.

Ugh. I am sick. I have taken lots of pills but none of them are working. Speaking of work -- it's all craps and fans there... loving that. I should be resting but I'm e-mailing and calling and ftping and editing and paperworking and UGH. HBW.

 

Oh and if anyone knows what this tree is please do let me know. It smells so lovely and has the most beautiful blossoms well into September now.

Figured it out -- it's a Clarodendron or Harlequin Glorybower.

Yanosch beim Umgraben

A town that grinds up fallen trees to make its own mulch for civic projects. Recycling in action.

Even though the tree had blown down over the winter, this Great Spotted Woodpecker was still going to create a nest hole. One to keep an eye on, if this is a nest site.

Hoverfly on a marguerite in my garden. One extra today as I won`t be around tomorrow !
