Wood Duck drake, Suamico, Wisconsin USA
With an overnight low of 13 deg F last night and a day of sun today with a high of about 20 deg F, it seemed a good day to dig into my archive for this image from the glory of May '24 on the duck pond.
The Double-crested Cormorant is a prehistoric-looking, matte-black fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin. Though they look like a combination of a goose and a loon, they are relatives of frigatebirds and boobies and are a common sight around fresh and salt water across North America—perhaps attracting the most attention when they stand on docks, rocky islands, and channel markers, their wings spread out to dry. These solid, heavy-boned birds are experts at diving to catch small fish.
This Cormorant gave me a nice approach with the branches considerately not blocking the bird’s eyes. This was taken at Green Cay, where the Cormorants and Anhinga were working hard to bring home nesting material. Action has slacked off and there doesn’t seem to be as many birds as in years passed. I hate to say it, but it doesn’t bode well for the future. I’ll throw my pitch in to support politicians who support environmental protection, conservation and public places. Pitch over, have another beer! It’s not the best juxtaposition but let me with us all and wonderful New Year and I hope to see many of you out in the field or at least online. All the best, Mike (Double-crested Cormorant - Nannopterum auritus) (Sony a1, 400mm, f/2.8, 1/2500 second, ISO 5000)
Double.....Deckers.....Dublin
Dublin does love its double deckers, just the norm stomping up & down the stairs to get a good seat or tuck away in a quiet corner after a busy day.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS AND FAVES
THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED
After a brief pathing stop at Sheffield station, GBRf ‘Shed’ 66724 'Drax Power Station' notches up for the climb to Dore Station Junction and Totley Tunnel, a route that will take it into the heart of the Derbyshire Pennines.
The train is the 12.41pm Doncaster Down Decoy - Peak Forest Cemex, discharged aggregate (4M03).
There's no such thing as a run-up for this one - as can be seen the average 1 in 100 climb over the next six miles starts immediately under the bridge. No sweat for this loco however - the empty wagons constitute a load of just 600 tonnes.
Autumn seemingly beckons beyond the bridge.....
Comments off for this one, thanks.

Double Arch, in Arches National Park, is what is known as a pothole arch, formed by water erosion from above rather than more typical erosion from the side. The larger opening has a span of 148 feet (45 m) and a height of 104 feet (32 m). These dimensions give the arch the tallest opening and second-longest span in the park. (Source: Wikipedia)
Unlike some other arches in the park, visitors are allowed to hike up to and directly under these arches. People can be seen here beneath the arches.

Double Arch is in the Windows section of Arches National Park. It is 112 feet tall with a 144 feet span. It is a pothole arch, meaning that water erosion from above resulted in its formation.
I had just finished preparing dinner, when I looked through my kitchen window and saw this amazing double rainbow. The chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and country gravy could wait for a few minutes. I grabbed my nearest camera, and with my apron flapping, I darted out into the rain. This was my view once I reached the end of my driveway. It was well worth getting a little soggy to capture it.
Double rainbows are formed when sunlight is reflected twice within a raindrop with the violet light that reaches the observers eye coming from the higher raindrops and the red light from lower raindrops. Quoted from the Met Office website
I was fighting a loosing battle to keep the rain off the lens and the wind was whipping up also, therefore this pano is made up of six quickly taken handheld images.
Railfirst VL360 and VL356 pass over the Cremorne Rail Bridge just after South Yarra Station on QUBE's 9343 Apex Quarry Train from Westall to Kilmore East.
This was the first occurance of 2 VL class locomotives on the Apex Quarry train, which usually sees a solo G class hauling it (either Railfirst G512/G515 or Qube G521/G532).

Double Arch is a close-set pair of natural arches, one of the more known features of Arches National Park in Utah, United States. From the Double Arch parking area it's a 0.5 mile (0.8 km) round trip to the arches.[1] There are no guardrails or fences to prevent visitors from exploring directly beneath and through the arches.
The area was used as a backdrop for the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in which the arches are briefly visible. However, the cave shown in the movie does not exist.[2]
Double Arch was formed differently from most of the arches in Arches National Park. It is what is known as a pothole arch;[3] it formed by water erosion from above rather than more typical erosion from the side. The larger opening has a span of 148 feet (45 m) and a height of 104 feet (32 m).[3]
