Steam Engine 131.060. Type: 1C1 h2t. Manufacturer: Resita Rumania. Construction year: 1942. Factory number: 611. Track: 1435 mm. Steam locomotives were first developed in Great Britain during the early 19th century and dominated railway transport until the middle of the 20th century. From the early 1900s they were gradually superseded by electric and diesel locomotives, with full conversions to electric and diesel power beginning from the 1930s.
Having departed the western terminus of GO's Milton Line just a few minutes prior, GMD F59PH 563 is already up to track speed as it screams up the Hornby Dip on CP's Galt Sub at Milton, Ontario. As a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of GO's Milton Line trains have been reduced from their typical twelve-car consist down to six. Requiring less motive power than the former, a handful of these venerable GMD workhorses have been assigned to a route usually dominated by their modern and ubiquitous successor, the MPI MP40PH-3C.
Human tongue cannot express the lightness, the clarity, the simplicity, the wonderful harmony which completely dispels all sense of heaviness…. A sea of light pours from above and dominates all this space, enclosed and yet free …. It creates a sense of inner transparency; the weightiness and limitations of the small and suffering self disappear; the self is gone, the soul is healed of it, losing itself in these arches and merging into them. It becomes the world: I am in the world and the world is in me…. This is indeed Sophia, the real unity of the world in the Logos, the coinherence of all with all, the world of divine ideas. It is Plato baptized by the Hellenic genius of Byzantium…. How true was our ancestors’ feeling in this temple, how right they were in saying that they did not know whether they were in heaven or on earth! Indeed, they were neither in heaven nor on earth, they were in St. Sophia—between the two: this is the metaxu of Plato’s philosophical intuition. St. Sophia is the last silent testimony to the future ages of the Greek genius: a revelation in stone.
-From an autobiographical essay called “Hagia Sophia,” cited in Andrew Louth, “Wisdom and the Russians: The Sophiology of Fr. Sergei Bulgakov,” in Where Shall Wisdom Be Found? Wisdom in the Bible, the Church, and the Contemporary World, ed. Stephen C. Barton (Edinburgh: T and T Clark, 1999), 169-81, at 178.
The majority of the hill ranges around Manglot Wildlife park are now denuded of vegetation. If human pressure was not so great the barren hills of NWFP would all look the same as this. Acacia and wild olives dominate here. The wildlife park spread up to the top of the tallest peak. Chinkaar Gazelles, Urial Sheep, Wolves and Leopards were found here until very recently. Historically Tigers and Rhino's were also found here within the time of Babur, the Muhal; emperor.

This picture was so much better before I scanned it, I hate the messy grainyness.
Although, this is my most viewed/favorited picture now, haha
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) typically dominate other fox species. Arctic foxes generally escape competition from red foxes by living farther north, where food is too scarce to support the larger-bodied red species. Although the red species' northern limit is linked to the availability of food, the Arctic species' southern range is limited by the presence of the former. Red and Arctic foxes were both introduced to almost every island from the Aleutian Islands to the Alexander Archipelago during the 1830s–1930s by fur companies. The red foxes invariably displaced the Arctic foxes, with one male red fox having been reported to have killed off all resident Arctic foxes on a small island in 1866. Where they are sympatric, Arctic foxes may also escape competition by feeding on lemmings and flotsam, rather than voles, as favoured by red foxes. Both species will kill each other's kits, given the opportunity.
Red foxes are serious competitors of corsac foxes, as they hunt the same prey all year. The red species is also stronger, is better adapted to hunting in snow deeper than 10 cm (4 in) and is more effective in hunting and catching medium to large-sized rodents. Corsac foxes seem to only outcompete red foxes in semi-desert and steppe areas. In Israel, Blanford's foxes escape competition with red foxes by restricting themselves to rocky cliffs and actively avoiding the open plains inhabited by red foxes.:84–85 Red foxes dominate kit and swift foxes. Kit foxes usually avoid competition with their larger cousins by living in more arid environments, though red foxes have been increasing in ranges formerly occupied by kit foxes due to human-induced environmental changes. Red foxes will kill both species, and compete for food and den sites. Grey foxes are exceptional, as they dominate red foxes wherever their ranges meet. Historically, interactions between the two species were rare, as grey foxes favoured heavily wooded or semiarid habitats as opposed to the open and mesic ones preferred by red foxes. However, interactions have become more frequent due to deforestation allowing red foxes to colonise grey fox-inhabited areas.
Wolves may kill and eat red foxes in disputes over carcasses. In areas in North America where red fox and coyote populations are sympatric, fox ranges tend to be located outside coyote territories. The principal cause of this separation is believed to be active avoidance of coyotes by the foxes. Interactions between the two species vary in nature, ranging from active antagonism to indifference. The majority of aggressive encounters are initiated by coyotes, and there are few reports of red foxes acting aggressively toward coyotes except when attacked or when their kits were approached. Foxes and coyotes have sometimes been seen feeding together. In Israel, red foxes share their habitat with golden jackals. Where their ranges meet, the two canids compete due to near identical diets. Foxes ignore jackal scents or tracks in their territories, and avoid close physical proximity with jackals themselves. In areas where jackals become very abundant, the population of foxes decreases significantly, apparently because of competitive exclusion.
Red foxes dominate raccoon dogs, sometimes killing their kits or biting adults to death. Cases are known of foxes killing raccoon dogs entering their dens. Both species compete for mouse-like prey. This competition reaches a peak during early spring, when food is scarce. In Tartaria, red fox predation accounted for 11.1% of deaths among 54 raccoon dogs, and amounted to 14.3% of 186 raccoon dog deaths in north-western Russia.
Red foxes may kill small mustelids like weasels, stone martens, pine martens, stoats, kolonoks, polecats and young sables. Eurasian badgers may live alongside red foxes in isolated sections of large burrows. It is possible that the two species tolerate each other out of mutualism; foxes provide badgers with food scraps, while badgers maintain the shared burrow's cleanliness.:15 However, cases are known of badgers driving vixens from their dens and destroying their litters without eating them. Wolverines may kill red foxes, often while the latter are sleeping or near carrion. Foxes in turn may kill unattended young wolverines.
Red foxes may compete with striped hyenas on large carcasses. Red foxes may give way to hyenas on unopened carcasses, as the latter's stronger jaws can easily tear open flesh that is too tough for foxes. Foxes may harass hyenas, using their smaller size and greater speed to avoid the hyena's attacks. Sometimes, foxes seem to deliberately torment hyenas even when there is no food at stake. Some foxes may mistime their attacks, and are killed.:77–79 Fox remains are often found in hyena dens, and hyenas may steal foxes from traps.
In Eurasia, red foxes may be preyed upon by leopards, caracals and Eurasian lynxes. The lynxes chase red foxes into deep snow, where their longer legs and larger paws give them an advantage over foxes, especially when the depth of the snow exceeds one metre. In the Velikoluki district in Russia, red foxes are absent or are seen only occasionally where lynxes establish permanent territories. Researchers consider lynxes to represent considerably less danger to red foxes than wolves do. North American felid predators of red foxes include cougars, Canadian lynxes and bobcats. Occasionally, large raptors such as Eurasian eagle owls will prey on young foxes, while golden eagles have been known to kill adults.
Engineer Steve Harner gives the group of us gathered next to the infamous KCS Crew Lake trestle a thumbs up as the 2024 CPKC holiday express blasts across at track speed. A noon time departure from Vicksburg, Ms, for the evenings showing in Monroe, La, meant there would be beautiful light along the small bayou known as Crew Lake. Crew lake is one of the few locations where the wooden trestles that once dominated the still hold on along the main. This shot was one of the must have locations both directions on the 2024 run. If this was the last year for the current configuration of this train I'm glad it was done well...
Thanks for looking!

Mid October... 2023
Final Chase Day at hand for 2023....
Warm and with SPC Active warnings that afternoon of severe weather. Stayed in the South Central Nebraska Hwy 6 Neighborhood.
Some wicked good, or should I say fantastic views of the out waves of moisture to mix in with spookiness of October. Late season supercells along the dryline were forming & I had to get underneath! You know for the view that are contained within! Oh I got my share that day.
Not to spoil the fun... No Tornado that day.. or at least I didn't see it. Came over the 2 way that the was one on the ground exactly where my cameras was pointed... however bad positing on my part. If it was there I didn't physically see it. It doesn't mean it wasn't there...
The active warning for the Tornado didn't fire off on my alarm till I was already due east of Minden Nebraska. Didn't have the best plan for attack here. I knew it was coming but where I deiced to park wasn't the best viewing position. When that alarm goes off & didn't have the best road network to navigate though the city or around the city of Minden. So I decide to stay put since it was already heading my way.
Sometimes this is a good decision, that day it wasn't. I had played this day out a little to shy & got caught with just an outflow dominate storm that afternoon after the Tornado Warning.
It was a Fun way to end the 2023 Chase Season... Can't Wait for 2024!

Dominating Torino from its 1150m. (3772ft.), mount Musinè gives extraordinary views, in every direction.
High in the foreground, you can also appreciate the millenary abbey named "Sacra di San Michele", built between 983 and 987 a.d over the peak of Mount Pirchiriano (962m. - 3150ft), protected by the Benedictine Monks until 1837, when entrusted to the Rosminian Fathers. The history, the spiritual value, and the surrounding landscape inspired Umberto Eco to write "The Name of the Rose" novel and made the Sacra not just a popular destination for visitor from all over Europe, but particularly one of the symbols of the Piedmont region itself.

Dehesa de Abajo, La Puebla del Rio, Sevilla, España.
Cigüena posandose en su nido.
La Dehesa de Abajo es un lugar privilegiado. Por un lado está el lago que podeis ver en otras de las fotografias que he subido ultimamente, pero en el otro lado hay un lugar donde las cigüenas hacen sus nidos. Hay decenas de nidos donde estas cigüenas vuelven todos los años a criar a su polluelos. Sin duda, un lugar especial para un fotografo y para los amantes de la naturaleza.
An archaeological site of extraordinary cultural value, Eraclea Minoa matches the charm of the myth of the natural beauty of southern Sicily. The long wild beach, which is dominated by the ruins of the Greek era, is a very popular place during the summer months.
The surrounding landscape is made even more charming by the white cliffs that overlook the sea, the pine trees, and the crystal clear sea water, making Eraclea Minoa a place of great interest in southern Sicily.
San Nicolás, Postdam, Brandenburg, Deutschland.
La iglesia San Nicolás de Potsdam (en alemán, St. Nikolaikirche) es una iglesia luterana erigida en la plaza del Mercado Viejo (Alter Markt) en Potsdam. El edificio de planta central en estilo clasicista y dedicado a san Nicolás fue construido según los planos de Karl Friedrich Schinkel en los años 1830 a 1837. El tambor de la iglesia de 77 metros de altura que domina los tejados de la ciudad fue construido más tarde, desde 1843 hasta 1850. Su construcción fue asumida por Ludwig Persius y, desde 1845, por Friedrich August Stüler. Es una de las pocas obras que subsisten de Schinkel.
Hacia el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la iglesia fue atacada durante el ataque aéreo en Potsdam y posteriormente fue gravemente dañada por el fuego de artillería soviético. Después de muchos años de reconstrucción, la iglesia fue reconsagrada en 1981 por la Parroquia Evangélica de San Nicolás, Potsdam, y, hoy en día, está abierta a los visitantes. Además de los servicios normales de la iglesia, los eventos de conciertos también se llevan a cabo en la iglesia.
St. Nicholas of Potsdam Church (German for St. Nikolaikirche) is a Lutheran church erected on the Old Market Square (Alter Markt) in Potsdam. The central floor building in the classicist style dedicated to Saint Nicholas was built according to the plans of Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the years 1830 to 1837. The 77 meter high church drum that dominates the roofs of the city was built later , from 1843 to 1850. Its construction was taken over by Ludwig Persius and, from 1845, by Friedrich August Stüler. It is one of the few remaining works of Schinkel.
Towards the end of World War II, the church was attacked during the airstrike in Potsdam and was subsequently severely damaged by Soviet artillery fire. After many years of reconstruction, the church was re-consecrated in 1981 by St. Nicholas Evangelical Parish, Potsdam, and today it is open to visitors. In addition to the normal church services, concert events also take place in the church.
Large aggressive hummingbird that usually dominates feeders or flower patches. Sparkling green overall with purplish-blue patches on cheeks and belly. Sexes alike. Larger than Lesser Violetear, and that species lacks the purple belly. Common and widespread in the Andes. Uses open habitats, including forest edge, shrubby agricultural land, and towns and cities. Found from 400–4,500 m; most common from the subtropical zone up to high elevation scrub and dry valleys, but also wanders low into foothills.

Sigiriya or Simhagiri (Lion Rock) is an ancient rock fortress located in the central Matale District near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres (660 ft) high. According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle the Culavamsa, this site was selected by King Kasyapa (477 – 495 CE) for his new capital. He built his palace on the top of this rock and decorated its sides with colourful frescoes. On a small plateau about halfway up the side of this rock he built a gateway in the form of an enormous lion. The name of this place is derived from this structure —Sīhāgiri, the Lion Rock. The capital and the royal palace was abandoned after the king's death. It was used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century.
Sigiriya today is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. It is one of the best preserved examples of ancient urban planning. It is the most visited historic site in Sri Lanka.
The Frontenac dominates Vieux Quebec and sits at its epicenter. Originally one of the grand hotels founded by the Canadian Pacific Railroad, it is now owned by the Fairmont Hotel company. It's still grand, with prices to match. It's also the most photographed hotel on the planet.
Wilderness has important lessons for us all and stands in contrast with areas where humans and their works dominate the landscape. It’s an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by people and where we are only visitors.

The Lillie Bridge depot. For over 150 years it was part of the District Line and is in 2023 still being used for stabling the current S7 stock. Sadly though, Lillie Bridge depot will probably be demolished in 2024.
When I was on the West Cromwell Road bridge to get a normal train on photo, I noticed a lonely S7 stock unit being powered up at Lille Bridge depot. A few minutes later it started to move and departed towards Kensington Olympia, giving me a chance to get it on photo before the old depot building gets demolished. The Earl's Court Exhibition Centre that dominated the skyline here has already been demolished.

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon on Flickr Click Here
Had to find a better place due to where the storm was coming in from. I had reposition myself right next to the High School football field. Long extended ditch that has a small roadway. Couldn't have asked for a better open sky than this.
This storm was moving rather slowly about 10 mph to the due north almost northwest. Outflow dominate, simply meaning this nice outflow. A shelf cloud on the outer rim of this storm as it approached. B E A U T I F U L!

The south wind dominates everything in Kansas and the Southern Plains. Everything here leans a little to the north. The Konza Native Americans gave us our state name. Konza means "People Of The South Wind." A line crew is currently replacing the poles along this stretch of highway in this photograph.

The bats wing fern is a remarkably adaptable plant. It likes moist situations, and can be found in a large variety of habitats. It can dominate an area, forming a large colony.
I've seen it grow on the cool temperate rainforests, over 1000 metres above sea level, underneath Antarctic Beech trees in full shade. Also, it's common on the sub tropical Lord Howe Island at sea level in full sun. It's a common plant here in Sydney.
At this carpark at the suburb of Greenwich. These south facing sandstone cliffs are a haven for ferns. Todea barbara is common here. There's a large variety of ferns, including some quite surprising species. Lycopodiella cernua, Psilotum nudum and Tmesipteris truncata, just to name three.
Congratulations to the local council and the bush care people, this site is in good shape regarding weeds. One weed is too many, but it's looking good all the same.
If I turned the camera the other way, there would be a great picture. Of Sydney city and the Sydney Harbour bridge.
Dominating the loch this former palace of the Scottish Monarchy and birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots. St Michael's Church was where Mary was baptised. After the attentions of the Reformation and then Oliver Cromwell's troops the church was in bad repair and was gradually restored. It originally had a crown dome similar to St Giles' in Edinburgh but this was removed in 1821. The aluminium structure was erected in 1964 to mixed reviews but I think is generally well-liked now.
A long shot of the Julian Alps dominating the wonderful Lake Bled. I deliberately avoided including the church on the island (The church of the Assumption of Mary), as this seems to appear in every shot of lake Bled. So I decided to include the Alps as a more dominant feature in the composition. Despite the snow on the mountains, the day was very warm indeed.
