Out of a string of roughly 30 storage tanks on the siding directly south of Walkerton, 8 needed to be fished out. So, sulking in the shadows with a perfect sucker hole of light through the heavily wooded area behind me, we get a closer look of PREX 1600, an ex. Seaboard GP16 smoking up quite a bit. Fear not, the crew was shoving when I shot this, not that safety is a concern at a 5mph track speed or anything though!
This should have been uploaded three days ago, but thanks to a massive storm and not the best public service company, I've been out of power since Monday afternoon. Nearly 72 hours later, my power has just flickered back on, so I had to mark the occasion somehow. Here you go!
After loading pellets, the 3 Tilden job is pulling hard eastbound up the grade out of Palmer Junction back to the yard with the tailings of the now-closed Empire Mine in the background.
At the head end they have 4 empty clay hoppers, 2 empty sodium hydroxide tanks, followed by loaded ore jennies on the tail end.

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.

There is no shortage of toys for either of the fuzzy babies in this house, now, if you ask either of them, they will most certainly have a very different opinion.
They each have their own bins and both can never quite find that perfect toy.
Sock will settle with a not-new-not-squeaky ball, but Fyero... well she's always sure to announce how unsatisfactory her toy selection truly is.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

A squerrel was found very busy digging, the guy seem to be very seriously doing this from a long time. As he spotted our car,at times he will jump up like that and see how far we are, and to make sure he is safe. But the funny guy never knew I got out from the car and was there right next to him.

To stand in the presence of bears just a few yards away while they are actively digging for food is a humbling, exhilarating experience. I watched and admired this moment, then shot a batch of images. Hundreds of images later I realized the small group of photographers I was with was surrounded by four bears, each bear using its keen sense of smell to locate clams, then dig, eat, and repeat the process. What a thrill to admire nature in such a beautiful way.

This Vintage Dragline dug out the majority of ditches here in Orkney before the modern 360° or JCB's came along and continued doing digging up to about a decade ago when the owner became unwell and was no longer able to use it.

Every now and then, something spurs me to look back through for an older photo. This past week, I have no idea why I was in a folder from 2014, but I'm glad I was. My progression through knowledge of both photography and the railroad has come a long way since I first took this image. At the time, I had no idea how lucky I was with the timing of these 2 trains in Lilly, PA. But with a new perspective, I sure am now in 2023, and I am so stoked the modern edit held up so well, as this scene is no longer possible with both motive power, or the signals.
PT98 gets under way after a brief stop in Moscow, PA. M636 #3643 blasts the long abandoned signal bridge with some of that 251 carbon as the train climbs the Pocono grade.

"Dirty" Picture Challenge: It takes some muddy digging in the marsh to find the perfect oyster dinner for this American Oystercatcher.
Thank goodness that most of the digging was done by our contractor. But there is always cleanup plus the next snow of only am few inches, which was too small for the contractor to bother with.

We got at least 6" of snow. I measured it. However it drifted a lot in the front of the house because it's open, so the snow was around 10" deep out there. This is our driveway that is around 75 feet long, so it's a job to clean it up.
This warthog was looking for grubs in the parched earth, the birds surrounding her were picking off the small insects she was unearthing at the same time.
I had an idea to shoot through this window that looks into the sunroom. I'm playing around and feeling generally dissatisfied, when my buddy comes in the room to get some attention. He makes me feel a little better, and I get a better shot in the process. Our animal friends are really a blessing.

This is one of the best parts of the morning shoot. When the waves and the ocean quiets. No longer worried about getting crushed it is just about capturing the glass like feature of the water. I often wonder how the ocean so rough and powerful can look so smooth and calm.
