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.

Excerpt from barnquilttrails.ca/barns/elgin-county/evening-star-2/:
Evening Star – This site was once the home of Sarah Haight, the Quaker Community’s first minister. Haight settled here in 1820. This home, built by her son in 1837, is still owned by the family. The barn behind contains elements of the original Meeting House which was located on the site of the present Quaker burial ground just east of here.
'In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.' (Auden) 😊

The planets Venus (brightest at centre) and Mars (upper left of Venus) in the late evening twilight over the Rocky Mountains and Bow River in Banff National Park. This was June 6, 2023, from the Storm Mountain viewpoint on the Bow Valley Parkway north of Castle Junction. The stars Castor and Pollux in Gemini are at right. Mars is just to the left of the Beehive star cluster, M44,, just showing up here.
The tracks are the Canadian Pacific Railway line, heading off toward Kicking Horse Pass over the Continental Divide.
This is a blend of 5 exposures, from 30 seconds at ISO 400 for the dark ground to 5 seconds at ISO 200 for the bright sky, taken in quick succession, all with the Canon RF15-35mm lens at f/4 and Canon R5. Blended with Select Sky and manually painted masks. Location and timing planned with The Photographer's Ephemeris and TPE3D apps.

Jasmine fervently hopes that everyone can enjoy each moment, now and going forward. Even if there are tough moments ahead, she reminds everyone to tap into your own resilience and deep reserves of happiness from within, and the happiness that comes from simply being together.
We have all enjoyed the holidays together. We are staying as safe as we can. Many of our friends and others are getting sick all over Florida, but especially here in the Keys, and all over the world. Yet, maybe there is also a silver lining in that Omicron is milder at least for the vaccinated. And good people are at work all over our country and the world, fighting darker forces. Jasmine taps into all the positive forces and always encourages me to do the same.

The final class 66 to be delivered to the UK was GB Railfreight's 66779. The locomotive was unveiled on 10/05/2016 at the NRM, York and named Evening Star. Sporting brunswick green livery to commemorate the last steam locomotive, 92220 to be built for British Railways. 66779 can be seen at the NRM alongside 92220 on the turntable on 13/05/2016.

... no, not the loco - the fashions!
Actually, the same is probably true of the loco - in this setting at least, owing to the absence of flanges on the middle set of driving wheels which now prevents the class appearing on the mainline.
British Railways BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 no 92220 takes on water from the old water crane on Platform 9 at York Station. Just in front of the loco is compressed air operated point motor, number 522 which will send the former freight loco off the East Coast Main Line and onto the branch line to Scarborough. Number 502 alongside allows switching from the Up Fast onto the Up Slow and the erstwhile numbered Platform 5.
The middle two through lines were removed when the East Coast Main Line was electrified and so this view, just like the rest of the station, has changed rather dramatically in the intervening years since this photo was taken.
The 9F was designed by Robert Riddles and was the last in a series of standardised locomotive classes designed for British Railways, hence the appropriate name of 'Evening Star'.

A bright burst of light shines from the planet Venus as it travels toward the horizon southwest of Bear Peak and the town of Boulder, Colorado. Lights from town glow from the western edge of the Great Plains on the right of the frame and fill the valley with a soft glow. There is a new moon, and the night is dark in the forest but brighter here once the lights of Boulder come into view.
In the Western world, the planets of our solar system are all named for Roman gods. Among these gods, Venus is the sole female of the pantheon to grace our night skies. The planets were discovered between nearly 2000 BC to 1930 AD, with Venus being the first named planet and Pluto the last, though the latter has now been classified as a dwarf planet. Of course, Venus was probably noticed well before 2000 BC, but it was the ancient Sumerians from that time living in Babylon (modern day Iraq) who created the first known written documents of her orbit on clay tablets. The Sumerians described this bright light as a divine, heavenly lady, and it seems this characterization struck a chord with humanity. Ever since, she has been associated with grace, beauty, procreation, love, desire, fertility, prosperity, and victory. The Roman goddess Venus was herself greatly informed by the Greek goddess Aphrodite. The etymology of the name 'Aphrodite' is unclear, but apparently most scholars now believe it was borrowed from the near-eastern Phoenician cultures, and ultimately came from the ancient Sumerians who first described her course through the heavens. Given that the cultures that first identified and named the planets nearest earth believed in complicated assortments of gods and goddesses, it is striking to me that only one planet besides our own Earth is female. What are the odds?
Back to modern times, I have hiked this trail south of Eldorado Springs on dozens of occasions and all of them by night. In the recent past, this schedule was largely due to the acrobatic juggling of work and home life with young children. It always seemed easiest to make time for myself after the children had gone to sleep. Although we both grew up in Oregon, a good high-school friend of mine lives not far away, and we often ramble the foothills after dark, planning backpacking trips, discussing solutions to the worlds problems, the intractable conundrums of child-rearing, the complicated trade-offs and gifts inherent to relationships, and the finer points of bread-baking and gardening. Now, the children can put themselves to bed without parental supervision. And yet, we still find ourselves out plying the darkened path to Aphrodite, drawn by the quietude that permeates the senses when naught but starlight shines down upon us.
Technical notes: A blend of 3 exposures, one for Venus at a smaller aperture to achieve the light-burst effect, another long exposure for the sky, and then a third long exposure with wider aperture for the foreground. All 3 images developed separately and then manually blended in Photoshop CC.
