Reflections of a flight
inside out
along a painted sunset
south, south
still flying south
I couldn't decide on the right title for this so have compiled them into the worlds worst poem ;-p

A Night of Winter
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'

Oenothera biennis (Onagraceae - Onagracées)
Sundrops or Evening Primrose is a spreading perennial plant that flowers in the summer
The blooms open in late afternoon to early evening, staying open until they wilt around noontime the next day. The stigma (center of the flower) is a unique X-shape, as shown in the picture.
Oenothera biennis has a life span of two years (biennial) growing to 30–150 cm tall.
Nom commun: Onagre belle de nuit, Onagre ou Oenothère est une plante vivace qui fleurit en été
Les fleurs s'ouvrent en fin d'après-midi ou en début de soirée, restant ouvertes jusqu'à ce qu'elles se fanent vers midi le lendemain. Le stigmate (centre de la fleur) est en forme de X unique, comme le montre l'image.
Oenothera biennis a une durée de vie de deux ans (biennale) atteignant 30-150 cm de haut.
Captured at the end of Brixham Breakwater the sky glows from the setting sun leaving a light pillar in the sky along with the Moon to the top left as well as Venus and Mercury.
The view from Zabriskie Point is no less stunning after dark. As last month’s super moon illuminates the foreground, Venus is seen setting over the alien horizon right in front of the faint, but visible, milky way.
Arwen: "The light of the Evenstar does not wax and wane. It is mine to give to whom I will, like my heart."
have a perfect day, dear friends! Take care!
92220 Evening Star leaves Scarborough with the SSE on 11/8/1983

Watch and listen to the Evening Star, giving a glimpse of days gone bye when steam locomotion was the norm:

Steam locomotive and tender, British Railways, 9F class 2-10-0 No 92220 "Evening Star", designed by R.A.Riddles, built at Swindon in 1960, withdrawn in 1965.
Evening Star is historically significant as the 999th British Rail (BR) Standard, and indeed the last steam locomotive to be built by BR.
Evening Star was the only 9F to be painted in BR’s express passenger service livery of lined green. The name Evening Star was chosen following a competition held by the BR Western Region Staff Magazine. There were three winners, who all suggested Evening Star – a fitting name given that one of the first locomotives to run on the Great Western Railway was named Morning Star.
Evening Star had an extremely short life span for a steam locomotive and was unexpectedly withdrawn from service in 1965. The locomotive was claimed for the National Collection in 1975.
The last Class 66 built for Britain 66779 Painted in BR lined Green and named Evening Star heads past Belper with 66762 working 6M73 Doncaster to Toton on the 28/7/16
All day long, sunshine struggled to overcome the clouds that lingered after yesterday's rain and last evening's storms. I, too, struggled to overcome the melancholy brought on by the lingering weather. By this evening, it seemed as if clear sky may win. I stood on the front porch and watched the last wispy, feathery clouds move eastward at breakneck speed, high in the sky.
I brewed the first coffee of the day just before sunset and poured a mug to take to the dam so I could watch the sunset.
These colors are the fastest home remedy available for melancholy.

A weekend of engineering works saw all normal traffic on the Tyne Valley route stopped. Having the route to itself on Sunday afternoon was 66779 'Evening Star' which was operating the 6G44 14:30 Hexham to Carlisle New Yard.
I wouldn't have normally ventured out for a single service in indifferent conditions but I hadn't photographed the celebrity '66' before so thought I would make the effort. Just before it's arrival the skies darkened and the heavens opened providing a much more atmospheric set of conditions than the overcast but dry weather of only a few minutes earlier.

Celebrity 'Shed' 66779 "Evening Star" glides past Helwith Bridge, with the 4N00 0925 Carlisle New Yard to Clitheroe Castle Cement - 15/06/2022.
When I found out that this locomotive had worked this train just before we went on holiday, I was fairly confident it would keep on the working during our stay at Ribblehead.
I was hoping that this train would run on the previous Friday, which was our arrival day. However, it was cancelled. Then I thought it would run on the following Monday, but it was cancelled again. No show on Tuesday either, but it then looked guaranteed it would run on the Wednesday, when it appeared on RTT with this locomotive allocated. However, it didn't show any movement off Carlisle & I began to wonder if the train would be cancelled yet again. Thankfully however, it was just a delayed departure & it was definitely worth the wait in the end. I was over the moon to see this locomotive while we were on holiday & I was very lucky to capture it on camera in superb weather conditions such as this.
Venus as a bright evening star over the Blakiston Valley and Creek in Waterton Lakes National Park, May 29, 2023. Above Venus are the stars Pollux and Castor in Gemini. The valley was ravaged by a forest fire in September 2017.
This is a blend of two exposures: 25 seconds for the dark ground, and 5 seconds for the bright sky, both at f/4 with the Canon RF15-35mm lens at 31mm and Canon R5 at ISO 100. A mild Orton Glow added with Luminar Neo.

66779 Evening Star approaches Frisby-on-the-Wreake, working 4M23 09.35 Felixstowe North - Hams Hall. [Pole, 4/6 sections (~5.4m)]
This was fairly close behind 60028, but I had enough time to walk the rest of the way down the lane to do an angle I'd looked at when I first arrived. I kept the 35mm (53mm equivalent) lens on the camera, so I could maximise the amount of the train which was visible. However, this is cropped slightly as in the next frames there are distracting shadows on the second container, plus it means the loco is positioned before it has the big tree directly above its cab roof.
It was a shame, however, that the loco bodysides were so dirty, but I was pleased the only two containers on the train were close to the front - and their "social distancing" improves the image, I think.
Thanks to Jason Cross for the heads-up on this, as I might not have spotted it was a celebrity.

This wasn`t my intended shot of 66779 'Evening Star' heading 4M23 Felixstowe-Hams Hall. The sun was about to be swallowed up, and the freight was racing with the cloud. It looked as though the cloud was going to win, so I took this zoomed in effort out of desperation. Indeed, by the time the loco reached my intended spot it would have been lights out.
