Southern Railway "Merchant Navy" Class No.35018 "British India Line" works hard to get last Sunday's return "The Waverley" Carlisle - York charter up the gradient and away from the former Cumwhinton station.
Just digging through the archives and came across this one. It was made at a hotel with artificial lighting, so the colour was interesting but felt unnatural, so I converted to monochrome and kind of tided it up a bit. I particularly like the subtleties of the mist and complexities of the detail. Anyway, I need to start shooting again, haven’t been out in anger for quite a long time! Bloody Covid!!!
reaching for some sunlight and a bit of warmth I suppose
We've had the 3rd wettest July on record for our area. Usually we get only 65mm of rainfall but this year we got 167mm in July.
The garden has been soggy and muddy for most of the summer....and, the MOSQUITOES !!! I haven't been able to get out at all.
This morning it was only +11C and windy...so I thought... time to try. Luckily.. I picked the right morning. Hardly any found me in the 2 hours I spent out there ..in long sleeves and long pants....happily tidying, cutting and digging and planting.
Finally got my last 2 tiny chrysanthemums planted... they've been sitting around for a few weeks now... patiently awaiting their spot in the yard.
This is Sempervivum ... I've had a blurb on here in the past regarding it.... click on the link if you want to know a bit more....

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.
Pileated Woodpecker digging into an old log for grubs. He carved some pretty decent holes very quick and was rewarded with some tasty bites.
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:
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:

Our friend here is sat on the wall of the excellent allotments in Bramham village encouraging us to dig for victory against this horrible virus. More homegrown food the less time we spend in the shops.
Stay safe and be alert my friends
Bramham is a village in the civil parish of Bramham cum Oglethorpe, West Yorkshire, England
Bramham is at the crossroads of the east-west Roman road from York through Tadcaster to Ilkley and the north-south Great North Road, now the A1 road, giving it a history that goes back to the Romans

I need some colours in my stream. Photo taken August 2015.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
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.

After yet another lake effect snow streamer settled over us last night, digging out has become a daily requirement. This view is looking out the back of our house down the street just as dawn was breaking. There hasn't been a snowplow here for several days now - they're too busy trying to keep up with clearing the main thoroughfares. When they do finally get here it's going to leave quite a pile of snow at the end of the driveway. Many of the county roads are closed altogether.
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.
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.
