Purang སྤུ་ཧྲེང་། county
Purang county is the heart of Far-West, where the four great rivers of South Asia diverge from their glacial sources around Mount Kailash (Gangs Rin Po Che, Ti-se) གངས་རིན་པོ་ཆེ 6638m. It is the goal of the great pilgrimage routes which approach this sacred mountain from the north (Gegye or Xinjiang), from the west (Kinnaur in India), from the south (Almora in India known as Taklakot in Nepali, and from the east (Drongpa)). The county capital is located at Purang སྤུ་ཧྲེང་།, known as Taklamot in Nepali. Area: 11.641 sq km. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both...
I took the one less traveled by....And that has made all the difference...

Manifest traffic departs the yard in Fort Frances, Ontario and diverges off the CN Fort Frances Subdivision at Duluth Junction for a trip down the CN Rainy Subdivision. CN 2880 leads the charge with a few units along for the ride including two Dash 8s and an SD40-2 - looks like units heading to the Mesabi Iron Range in Minnesota. The train is seen here passing underneath Ontario Highway 11, the King's Highway, while moving onto the short peninsula at the headwaters of the Rainy River.
Two roads diverged in a wood
and I - I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference..

“The Road Not Taken,” plays a unique role not simply in American literature, but in American culture —and in world culture as well. Its signature phrases have become so ubiquitous, so much a part of everything from coffee mugs to refrigerator magnets to graduation speeches, that it’s almost possible to forget the poem is actually a poem.
Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Guanajuato contains a jewel-covered image of the Virgin, patron of Guanajuato. The wooden statue was supposedly hidden from the Moors in a cave in Spain for 800 years. Felipe II of Spain gave it to Guanajuato in thanks for the wealth it provided to the crown.
I like how this photograph could represent many diverging themes or stories.
CSX Coal Empties, U904, roll toward Martin after diverging at EM Cabin with company hoppers for loading. CSXT 311, an AC44, leads the train on its first run from receiving fresh paint.
CSX motors bring a westbound ethanol train over Nicollet Island in downtown Minneapolis past control point Stadium where the spur to the Target Field Northstar Station diverges from the mainline. Lots of spring greens here in Minneapolis. Some newer residential developments over on the east side of downtown across the Mississippi River.
56078 passes the former Lawton Junction, where the Sandbach branch line once diverged, with the 6K39 15.24 Bradwell Sidings-Crewe Basford Hall loaded departmental, consisting of a short rake of MXA 'lobster' wagons.
The grid was giving it full beans at this stage, having been signal checked for a preceding unit that had recently departed from Alsager, creating a fantastic soundtrack.
The last dregs of light just about held despite threatening cloud almost scuppering the shot to produce the final pic of a really rewarding day around the West Midlands.
Even more noteworthy is that 56078 has been stopped since 11 March (2025); whether it is likely to return to the mainline any time soon is unknown.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood

Approximately two hours later the sun was more cooperative. After crossing the Rockville Bridge the train turns to parallel the Susquehanna River at CP Mary. Soon it will diverge to follow the Juniata River on its way to the summit of the Alleghenies west of Altoona, PA.
Part of the interesting trackage near the Vikings stadium in downtown Minneapolis, where the line through south Minneapolis to the Mall of America diverges from the line that runs to downtown St. Paul. 20171017-2193
As if,
by design,
the image emerges.
Striking and bold,
my minds eye diverges.
There is history to be told,
as this design surges.
Let the image mold
and you will see a

When all has been told,
the truth emerges.
Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

Another set of empties take the diverging route at Lee Ranch Junction towards El Segundo Mine. This operation will cease to exist this week after Tri-State Generation and Transmission Authority announced the closure of the Escalante Generating Station earlier this year. The final run is expected to take place on Wednesday 4/29/2020.

Broomhill railway station or Broomhill for Nethy Bridge railway station is a reconstructed railway station on the former Highland Railway main line which was originally built to serve the small villages of Nethy Bridge and Dulnain Bridge in Strathspey. It is at present the eastern terminus of the Strathspey Steam Railway.
The railway station was opened by the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway (I&PJR) on its line to Forres in 1863, via Grantown-on-Spey (West), Dava, etc.
In 1923 the HR became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and at nationalisation in 1948 became part of British Railways. The line was recommended for closure by Dr Beeching's report "The Reshaping of British Railways" and closed on 18 October 1965.
Following closure in 1965 the station was demolished leaving only the platform and the nearby stationmaster's house. On 31 May 2002 the Strathspey Railway (preserved) re-opened the old station following its reconstruction.
The Great North of Scotland Railway's (GNoSR) Broomhill Junction lay on the line towards Boat of Garten and at this point the original GNoSR Strathspey Railway diverged, crossing the River Spey to reach Nethy Bridge, Grantown-on-Spey, Aberlour, Cromdale, Craigellachie, etc. The Highland Railway (HR) line ran parallel from Boat of Garten station to avoid the cost of a signal box and famously the two lines had different coloured ballast.
With snow beginning to fall on a cold and dreary January evening, New York Susquehanna and Western train CL-X diverges onto the Syracuse branch at Chenango Forks on its return run from Cortland - Binghamton. The train is passes vintage searchlights here originally from the D&H.
What started out as a morning on the Southern Tier ended in a ~450 mile day with over 11 hours of driving. After completing our chase of eastbound NS train 264 in Corning, we decided to make our way to Sayre to see if the Lehigh Railway was out and about. While on the way, I got a heads up that the NYSW made the run south to Binghamton and was in the yard working. After a quick check of Sayre we made a beeline to Binghamton where we found a mess of NS traffic clogging up the area. The NYSW uses the NS (old D&H main) for about 1/4 of a mile out of Binghamton to get onto their own tracks, and this was blocked by 265. After about an hour and a half of waiting on NS to swap 265's power, the NYSW pulled over the "New Connection" and helped the crew of 265 arm their marker. They then made the run for home.

CSX E908 diverges at EM Cabin as it makes its way towards Martin with a train of company 3-bays in tow.
Granular poison frog (Oophaga granulifera) diverged into southern and northern lineages. The proportion of red is more prominent in the Osa Population, while the red, green and polymorphic populations are located in the Central Pacific. The poison produced by the poison dart frogs affects nerves and muscles, producing paralysis and respiratory failure. These colorful frogs hunt by day, feeding on termites and ants, and it has been suggested that their warning coloration evolved in response to their long feeding periods, when they would otherwise be vulnerable to predators. Their warning coloration is the response to the most basic problem in nature: to eat without being eaten. Toxic alkaloids in the skin secretions of these frogs provide them with powerful chemical weapons against potential predators. This distinctive flashing coloration is known as aposematic, or warning coloration.
CSX B965 cruises over the Hudson River on the Alfred H. Smith Memorial Bridge as it prepares to diverge onto the Schodack Branch at CP-SM.
Union Pacific LHT43 (Eureka Yard to Eagle Lake Local) is diverging into the siding at CP SA061 Lissie, TX for an eastbound manifest. Tri-light signals from the late Southern Pacific era still guard sections of the Sunset Route.
As seen from Ed Painters front porch, NS 68X meanders down the I-Line as it prepares to diverge onto the H-Line and continue onto Atlanta and eventually Georgia Power Plant Scherer near Macon in Juliette, GA. 4/11/19
Conway Scenic 255 and 252 lead the Notch Train through Intervale, NH on the home stretch back to North Conway. Mount Washington stands tall in the background with its peak barely obscured by clouds. Both 255 and 252 are Maine Central GP38s and are leading on home rails for the next half mile until it diverges onto B&M rails for the last leg to North Conway.

POAY diverges onto the no 2 track at CPF 273 with a hefty train in tow. This would be the last spot we shot them as the sun set not long after this.
NS train #371 diverges onto the C Line, or Cedartown District, from the Atlanta North End at CP Green. 371 still exists today, but no longer runs the C Line, as that traffic now flows via the Alabama East End and locals on the southern portion of the line.
returning from Ardent mills is a CN switcher about to diverge onto the main line with a consist of empty railcars bound for Pointe-Saint-Charles yard.
GWR Prairie 5541 catches the last light of the day at Tufts Junction in the Forest of Dean. Thanks to Mike Tyack and a very enthusiastic crew for a superb day.
(The Junction is where the Mineral loop and branch to Parkhill Colliery branched off from the main Severn and Wye line from Lydney to Lydbrook and Cinderford. The single line diverged into three. All three lines were closed between the 1950s and 1970s.
The main line through the junction has been restored by the Dean Forest Railway which runs between Lydney Junction and Parkend) Wikaipedia

Tomorrow Day 1 of a new adventure begins for me! I will be off the grid for a while and return early in the new year.... Be seeing you :-)))
Many thanks for all your kind comments and faves!
The Fontanka Embankment is a street in Saint Petersburg that follows the course of the Fontanka River from its origin as it diverges from the Neva River up to its confluence with the Great Neva. In 1762-1769 the general plan of city development was developed by the State Special Committee, headed by Aleksei Kvasov. Following this plan, in the 1780s the shores were imbanked in granite by architect Giacomo Quarenghi. The Fontanka Embankment was used as a border of Saint Petersburg central part.
Nowadays the embankment serves as a motorway, it was reconstructed in the early 1990s, then in 2016-2019. It has a status of cultural heritage object. Total length of the left side embankment is 6.4 km, right - 5.7 km. Numerous palaces and historical sites are located on this street.
