Headed up onto Kinder again today. In search of some images of the Western Edge for a guide book. Walked up from Kinder reservoir via Cluther Rocks to the Pennine Way. It took an hour an half in the often knee high, sometimes waist high snow. I won't be taking that route again in a hurry.
This photo is looking North to Kinder Downfall on the right.

Nepeta is a genus of about 250 species of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae. The members of this group are known as catnip or catmint because of their famous effect on cats—nepeta pleasantly stimulates cats' pheromonic receptors, typically resulting in temporary euphoria. It can also induce mild euphoria in humans.[1]
The genus is native to Europe, Asia and Africa. It is now also common in North America.[2] Most of the species are herbaceous perennial plants, but some are annuals. They have sturdy stems with opposite heart-shaped, green to grayish-green leaves. The flowers are white, blue, pink or lilac and occur in several clusters toward the tip of the stems. The flowers are tubular and spotted with tiny purple dots.

Norwegian Forest cat is a strong, robust breed that developed in the harsh-wintered areas of Northern Europe. Because of their hearty winter coat, they tend to change appearance quite drastically between seasons. The Wegie sports a silky flowing coat that can come in a variety of colors. This combined with their deep emerald color eyes makes them quite attractive. Norwegian Forest kittens are slow to develop and may not be mature until four years of age.
The Norwegian Forest Cat is a large, powerfully built cat with long hair, a full ruff, tufted ears and a bushy tail. The front legs are slightly shorter than the hind legs. It is a giant among cats, similar in size to the Maine Coon. The long outer coat is glossy and water-resistant, while the thick undercoat adds protection against the cold. The winter coat is even thicker than the summer one. Inevitably, this means a heavy moult once a year.
Norse legend describes this sturdy cat as mysterious and enchanting. Known in its native land as Norsk Skogskatt (Norwegian Forest Cat), its ancestors were Angora cats adopted by Viking sailors in the Near East to serve as rat-catchers, pets, and sometimes as ships' mascots.
Males are larger; females are considerably smaller. When showing these cats, the changing seasons must be taken into an account. The length and thickness of the fur vary considerably depending on the temperature. In summer, the only really long fur that remains is on the tail and the tufts in the ears and between the toes. The coat of the Norwegian Forest Cat is so dense that you need a generous amount of shampoo to make sure that the lather gets through the water-repellent guard hairs. The thicker hairs on the back make it almost waterproof. In winter, the undercoat is extremely thick.
Norwegian Forest Cat Personality The Norwegian is affectionate, confident, calm, and has a faithful nature. It loves the outdoors and is an efficient hunter. The "Wegie," as it is sometimes called, is hardy and self-sufficient and, if an outdoors cat, can endure temperatures of Norway's harsh northern climate.
Personality Norwegian Forest Cats love people and they are aggressive when they seek your attention. They do not like to be left alone for any length of time. They are highly intelligent and can be very rewarding companions as they are extremely friendly and playful. They are not your prototype lap cats.
Wegies, as they are sometimes called, clean themselves pretty well but still need weekly brushing and combing. Start combing at an early age. Norwegian Forest Cats get along very well with other cats and some dogs. When well socialized, the Norwegian Forest cat is very friendly and affectionate and is generally good with kids. They love to climb and frolic around the house. Their voice is a quiet meow. Wegies shed heavily in spring. A Norwegian forest Cat may look like a different cat after losing its long hair. Not to worry, it will grow back when the weather cools.
it had to go. the big redwood was causing problems with the pump house, the roots invading, cables and conduits breaking.
several years ago we had to have the tree's twin taken out after it died, and the tree man said this one would have to go eventually, it was listing to one side.
it's naked out front now.

Downfall Chapter X: An Unlikely Savior
(The Old Man in the Mountain)
—-BEGIN TRANSMISSION—
It has been a couple of months since we have lost contact with command. The Emperor was lost and the last transmission we received told us to continue our work, alllllll the way from the top. Whispers of complete destruction of garrisons had been going around, morale is lower than ever. The things we do here cannot be talked about on this recording, I do not know who will be left to discipline me if we do though. Prior to the loss of communication we had a small presence in the region taxing and taking cargo from the locals. But after the command structure fell we retreated into the mountains in order to protect the research being conducted here. What we are doing here is more important than what in my opinion was terrorizing the locals. I always thought that what we were doing outside of the facility was an excuse to have a large presence here, to feign ignorance. There's nothing we can do from here besides let the scientists continue their work. I feel the guilt eating away for everything we have done…I've had too much time to think. However, more concerning is the fact that pirates have run rampant throughout the villages around us and the almighty new republic is nowhere to help them. Their poorly trained militia cannot repel the attacks, they are easy pickings for anyone looking to make some quick credits. Scouts reported that they recently moved to a village near us, I think I’ll take my squad down and deal with it personally. After all I can’t have us finding our work up here. Perhaps I’ll be able to sleep at night, my conscience might be a little lighter. I am a leader after all, the only thing left I can do is lead my troopers. I don't think they will thank us but I will try anyway. My troopers haven't had any action in a few rotations. It will be good for morale. I half hope it's for the last time. I am old, I didn’t think my final days would be stuck up in the mountains. For the fallen…..for the Empire.

MG_0012XS_ Downfall scenario...
Our earth is running toward the sun and will burn
Ich war in einem alten Gartengelände unterwegs und wollte paar Fotos / Herbstmakros machen.
Da entdeckte ich ganz oben an einem uralten Apfelbaum einen letzten Apfel .
Mit dem 500mm Tele rangezoomt sah der schon ziemlich mitgenommen aus...
Mit bisschen Bildbearbeitung und den Stiel am Apfel weggestempelt sieht
der faule Apfel einem Planeten ähnlich...finde ich
Das brachte mich auf den Titel....Untergangszenario_ unsere Erde...!
Zumal einem Bericht im N-TV zufolge , sich die Sonne ( in paar Jahren) zu einem roten Riesen aufbläht...die Erde austrocknet...wie ein " Bratapfel" ...!!!
Aber bis dahin ist noch bisschen Zeit...:-)

P.S. Hello. It's my first time to see my photo get featured on Explore. It's unbelievable. I am grateful for the appreciation extended to this humble craft we all share a commonality with.
If you have extra seconds to spare, do view this other subject (obsession) of mine. Thank you! :)

NBSR 6200 leads an extra '907' New Brunswick Southern Railway westbound freight, as they round a small S-Curve at Welsford, New Brunswick, along the McAdam Sub. This extra was a good size, at 87 cars. First time in a while that I've seen anything run on a Sunday. The only downfall is that it's the same consist that I caught last Monday, unit for unit. Same power, same weather, different locations.

The Downfall of the Evil Empire started when Darth Vader, in the only happy
day of his life, decided to include a smartphone in the equipment of his
beloved Stormtroopers. That's the truth my friends, no death stars, no
rebel forces, just facebook, whatsapp and all that stuff...
The beautiful Condamine taken just after sunrise and few weekends ago.
So many things to photograph around the area and the only downfall is the COLD - Brrrrrr!!! It's freezing this time of year.

Inspired by downfalls and space.
This week I got to meet up with my cousin Brittany from Alabama, and I'm really glad she could model for me again! Luckily, we were able to shoot this and some portraits before she had to go back home. She's been modeling for me since we were 13, so it was awesome to work together again! (I still have some really old photos of her on here: www.flickr.com/photos/jake179/702931854/) I really like the idea of this looking like a location on another planet, like at the base of some alien volcano or something. ;P
Please "Like" Jake Hegel Photography for updates and random/extra portraits! :)
Also, detail shot in the comments!
I don't see a reason why we can't just be apart
We're falling on each other like we're always in the dark.

So this took about 45 minutes to set up all together. This is what happens when you find an old mattress in someones backyard for junk, and a wood with papercranes and string.
We ended up not having the shoot with smoke because it was way to cold the day we went out into the forest and windy, so it wouldn't have been good. We do plan however to make up for it another day. :)
FGLK subsidiary Mid-Coast Railservice train RB-2 heads west through Waldoboro on 7/3/2023 with a half a dozen or so cement cars in tow.
The end has already come for Dragon Cement, with the final loads being shipped out in the last week. For now the plant will stay in operation, only producing enough product for local customers. Who knows what will become of the plant or Mid-Coast. Regardless, things don't look nearly as bright as they did last year.

On a hike up to Kinder Downfall. We sat at the edge on the Downfall on the mass of boulders that are strewn across the edge of the plateau.
There had been heavy rain and rockfall on the gristone edges. Blisteringly hot summer days. Thunderstorms, floods.
It's been a weird old summer.
The history, downfall and rediscovery of the Etruscans (6th-4th BCE) in Italy is an amazing story. One of their localities was only discovered in the second half of the nineteenth century. When the count of Sambuy (1837-1909) set his expertise to landscape a park at Bologna (see right inset above) to be named for the King's wife - Margherita - lots of Etruscan monuments all in ruins were found. In the photo (left below inset) you can see one of the Etruscans' sepulchres.
Of course I examined it closely with Olymp's macro eye. And there it was - quick and fleeting - Podarcis siculus, Agile-footed Ruin Lizard! Just look at that distinguishing blue spot just behind its foreleg! That obviously reminded me of the Etruscan connection to ancient Egypt!
You are my sweetest downfall
Uploading quite a bit as I leave to Venice soon and then I'll move in to a house that won't have any internet.
I love how Flickr lets your photography interest develop and evolve. Portraits and fashion are my favourite. I might start a fashion blog at some point. I'm noticing in all the magazines its "in" at the moment to use film and grainy quality even when it comes to high fashion. I hope that photography trend lasts.

THIS IS THE AMAZING, WONDERFUL ELL.
We met yesterday. After over a year of friendship. :’D It was absolutely crazy and surreal and I HAVE NO. WORDS. None. Whatsoever.
This description is insanely inadequate. There is so much I want to say but really, nothing can describe this. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Eeeep.
