Always fun to shoot the neighbors' docks on either side of ours. I couldn't stay out long, however, as it has been terribly cold!
Although the Penn Central and the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines both rostered Baldwin locomotives, It is not generally thought that any of them were active after those lines were succeeded by Conrail. The Ironton Railroad, a short line based in Hokendauqua, Pennsylvania, was jointly owned by the Reading and the Lehigh Valley, and rostered a single locomotive, a DS-4-4-1000.
The Baldwin was assigned to local service in the Allentown/Bethlehem area, and was to be run until it failed. Here, almost a year later, Ironton 751 is near JU tower in Bethlehem, waiting for a signal to go to either Allentown Yard or Bethlehem Engine Terminal. In another year, it would be in the Altoona scrap line.

I thought folk either loved bananas or hated them.
When I saw this large advert in the local Sainsburys Local, I felt puzzled that it was necessary to publicise bananas. I set out to find a few facts about bananas and discovered that:
During the war, the import of bananas was banned as they needed refrigerated transport which in turn was needed for the war effort.
Mothers used to make mock bananas with boiled roasted parsnips, sweetened and flavoured with banana essence.
It was December 30th 1945 when bananas first returned to Britain.
One website declared that the banana is still the third bestselling item in British supermarkets.........
Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Eastern Spinebill
Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris
The Eastern Spinebill sometimes hovers like a hummingbird when feeding on the nectar from flowers. Most Australian honeyeaters feed on flowers from a perched position.
Description: The Eastern Spinebill is most easily recognised by its very long, fine, down-curved beak and energetic flight, during which its white outer tail feathers are prominent. Males have a grey-black crown which extends in a black line on either site of the breast. The breast and throat are white, with a rufous patch in the centre of the throat. The wings and lower back are dark grey and the underparts and upper back are buff. Females are similar to males but have less distinct markings.
Similar species: Crescent Honeyeater, Tawny-crowned Honeyeater, Western Spinebill (in Western Australia)
Distribution: The Eastern Spinebill's range is generally east of the Great Dividing Range from Cooktown in Queensland to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia
Habitat: The Eastern Spinebill prefers heath, forest and woodland.
Seasonal movements: Largely sedentary, but undergoes some local movements, especially away from higher elevations in autumn/winter.
Feeding: The Eastern Spinebill feeds on insects and nectar while perched or while hovering. Nectar is obtained from a wide array of flowers, including grevilleas, but its beak is particularly well-suited to extracting nectar from tubular flowers such as epacrids.
Breeding: The Eastern Spinebill's nest is a small cup of twigs, grass and bark, combined with hair and spider's web, built in a tree fork, generally between 1 and 5 metres from the ground. Only the female builds the nest and incubates the eggs, but both parents feed the young when they hatch.
Calls: Short, repeated, high-pitched piping.
Minimum Size: 15cm
Maximum Size: 16cm
Average size: 16cm
Average weight: 11g
Breeding season: August to January
Clutch Size: 2
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 14 days

I thought for a long time whether I should write this now or just keep it to myself. Because today is not about me at all. But it's been bothering me for days.
And as sorry as I am, it's not about you either.
Today belongs to a little boy who was not allowed to blossom like this winter aconite does.
I already know his story, which is far too short, even though I will be able to meet him for the first time in a few hours.
Because today is the first time that I am photographing an angle baby. Something I never thought I was capable of. And yet my things are ready to go.
And so I want to dedicate this flower solely to this boy whose name I don't even know. The boy and of course his family, who now have to try to deal with this situation.
Ich habe lange überlegt, ob ich das jetzt schreibe oder einfach für mich behalte. Denn heute geht es so garnicht um mich. Doch es beschäftigt mich bereits seit Tagen.
Und so leid es mir tut, es geht auch nicht um Euch.
Der heutige Tag gehört einem kleinen Jungen, dem es nicht vergönnt war zu erblühen, wie dieser Winterling es tut.
Ich kenne bereits seine viel zu kurze seine Geschichte auch wenn ich ihm in wenigen Stunden das erste Mal gegenüber stehen darf.
Denn heute ist es das erste Mal, dass ich ein Sternenkind fotografiere. Etwas, von dem ich nie glaubte dazu in der Lage zu sein. Und doch stehen meine Sachen bereit zum Aufbruch.
Und so möchte ich diese Blume einzig allein diesem Jungen widmen, dessen Namen ich nicht einmal kenne. Dem Jungen und natürlich seiner Familie, die nun versuchen muss, mit dieser Situation umzugehen..

Not to sure about this photo and may end up making another option, but I'm not sure about that either.
I decided to make somewhat of a memorial. Violet is a girl who knows all the facts about 9-11 and the attacks, but is still confused and dazed at what happened.
I hope the photo speaks for itself. ;)
Either way you enter into The Mackenzie Basin, everyone notices a sudden change in the landscapes ahead of them. From the north as you wind your way around corners, often covered in low clouded hills, or from the straight stretches of the South your provided both ways with a sudden striking view ahead that peaks the senses. A long line of snow cloaked mountains pierce across the horizon as if rising our of nowhere. Often big blue sunny skies lay cast across golden tussock covered grasslands, making the mountainside have a velvet like feel to them with a contrasting array of bright colours, and some days even every colour in the rainbow can be found in this unforgettable region of New Zealand’s South Island..

Typically people either love peas or hate them. I am not a big fan of them but if I do eat them they need to be fresh peas from our garden. I am also not one of those people that enjoys eating them raw. Ewww!
This afternoon my daughter and I picked a full basket of them from our garden. They'll be podded, blanched and stored in our freezer for eating long after the summer is over.
This was the final photo of Minneapolis Northfield & Southern Baldwin DT66-2000 during my April 1973 visit. It has picked up a long train in either BN's Northtown Yard or Soo Line's Shoreham Yard, or both, and is returning to its yard in Golden Valley. It is pictured here crossing the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, MN on the Great Northern Camden Bridge.

Never managed to get this shot before, either no rain (bizarrely), too many people, no people... Lucky tonight though!
Andrés Vial has played at over 50 festivals and hundreds of venues around the world. He has performed with some of the best in the music industry, either as a leader or sideman.
He is giving master classes at universities (has a doctorate from McGill). He released 8 albums as a leader, including Juno-nominated trio albums. He became recently the first Montréal pianist and composer to appear on a Blue Note album. He also composes music for film and contemporary dance. At Montreal Jazz the 'Andrés Vial Percussion ensemble' featured Mamadou Koita (balafon/tama/kora/vocals), Michael Davidson (vibes), Elli Miller Maboungou (Ngoma drums), Ira Coleman (double bass) Erik Hove (sax), and Tommy Crane (drums).

LUV the new Japonica scene. It's incredible! It is either going to make me pour every single dollar I have into shopping, or making me stuck on this bridge, enjoying the scene. What would it be!

My Monday flower greeting today not only comes quite late (sorry, I had something urgent to do) but also in a very unusual form. Nothing is blooming here at the moment.
But anyone who has ever seen the flowers of the houseleek knows that they look really impressive and beautiful.
Which brings us to my ulterior motive for this photo.
Very often we meet people whose real potential is not apparent at first glance (perhaps not at second either). Just like this flower in hibernation.
Then we are often quick to judge and put this person in a box that suits us.
I would like to invite you to wait (not just this week) before making such judgments for a while (if you cannot avoid them completely). Be curious about what is still hidden at the moment. I can say from my own experience as a coach that you sometimes make fascinating discoveries when you are there when the sleeping beauty in your counterpart opens her eyes.
And who knows, maybe you will discover and awaken the sleeping beauty within yourself. Because the thing with quick judgments and boxes works even better internally than externally.
Mein heutiger montäglicher Blumengruß kommt nicht nur ziemlich spät (sorry, ich hatte etwas Dringendes zu erledigen) sondern auch in recht ungewöhnlicher Form. Hier blüht nämlich gerade garnichts.
Doch wer schon einmal die Blüten vom Hauswurz gesehen hat der weiß, dass diese wirklich beeindruckend und wunderschön aussehen.
Womit wir bei meinem Hintergedanken zu diesem Foto wären.
Sehr oft begegnen uns Menschen deren wirkliches Potential auf den ersten Blick nicht ersichtlich ist (vielleicht auch nicht auf den zweiten). So wie bei dieser Blume im Winterschlaf.
Dann sind wir häufig schnell darin uns ein Urteil zu erlauben und diese Person in eine für uns passende Schublade zu stecken.
Ich möchte Euch dazu einladen (nicht nur diese Woche) mit derartigen Urteilen eine Zeit lang zu warten (wenn Ihr sie nicht ganz vermeiden könnt). Seid neugierig auf das, was im Moment noch im Verborgenen liegt. Ich kann aus eigener Erffahrung als Coach sagen, dass man streckenweise faszinierede Entdeckungen macht, wenn man dabei ist, wenn die schlafende Schönheit in deinem Gegenüber die Augen öffnet.
Und wer weiß, vielleicht endeckt und erweckt Ihr ja die schlafende Schönheit auch in Euch selbst. Denn die Sache mit den schnellen Urteilen und Schubladen funktioniert nach innen noch viel besser als nach außen.

I don't know the species of either of these, but it was fascinating to watch the ants work together to move their victim around. It was too big to go into the hole, and I was curious about where they would take it and what they would do with it, but we had to move on.

The two are either early returnees or have stayed here over the winter. But I think they are returnees because I didn't see or hear any cranes at this place in January
Kraniche
Die zwei sind entweder frühe Rückkehrer oder sind den Winter über hier geblieben. Ich glaube aber Rückkehrer denn im Januar hatte ich an dieser Stelle keine Kraniche gesehen oder gehört.

Solenostemon is a genus of perennial plants, native to tropical Africa, Asia, Australia, the East Indies, the Malay Archipelago, and the Philippines. They are commonly known as Coleus, a name which derives from an earlier classification under the genus name Coleus, which is currently treated as two: with species included in either the genus Solenostemon or in another genus, Plectranthus.
After spotting this train arriving at Three Forks for a crew change we made a high-speed run to this place. We didn't quite have enough time to set up to get over the pole forest but caught a great sucker hole. Good with the bad. slow Kodachrome 25 film didn't help much either.

It seems like it was never the right time to publish this series of pictures. I'm trying to preserve some variety on our flickr galery and I either posted some snowy picture or some SM42 for the past couple of weeks, even though I've been wanting to publish this series of pictures for quite some time.
With the start of January, started the many problems of PolRegio branches across Northern Poland. Already in December the railbus replacement service of the Krzyż depot had to start and Chojnice soon followed suit. Two train services were impacted by a wave of repairs on railbusses - one pair Chojnice - Tczew and one pair Chojnice - Kościerzyna.
The latter runs through a rather interesting railway line which rarely sees any interesting traffic throughout the year due to its branchline-ish nature. My excitement heightened in the coming days. Kashubia received an unusually large amount of snowfall - in places we had to fight our way through nearly one meter tall heaps of this wet, white dust. It stuck firmly onto the trees, our clothing and the train. A friend of mine from Southern Poland came here for a visit and we decided to have a trip together, chasing the tiny regional train on the entire weekend.
This is one of my favorite pictures, perfectly displaying the atmosphere of the Tuchola Forest area and its numerous unelectrified branchlines - many of which still remember the Prussian times with their infrastructure - just like the telephone pylons to the right.
On 11.01 the SU42-521 from Chojnice depot was dispatched to work the regional train to Kościerzyna. Here it is seen hauling the R95925, consisting of one 120A type coach, as it is passing the dense spruce forests. Minutes before the train had left Lipusz and only has around 13 kilometers to go before reaching Kościerzyna. Next stop is at Łubiana.

Oystercatcher
Scientific name: Haematopus ostralegus
The oystercatcher is very noisy wading bird with a loud 'peep-ing' call. On the coast, it specialises in eating shellfish, particularly cockles and mussels, which it either prises or hammers open with its strong, flattened bill. Originally a coastal species, the oystercatcher has moved further inland over the last 50 years to breed on waterways and lakes. Most UK birds still spend their winters by the sea, however, and are joined by birds from Norway and Iceland.
Direct Rail Services (DRS) 66426 and 66126 (on long term hire from DB) pass through Ely either end of the 3S01 0922 Stowmarket D.G.L. to Stowmarket D.G.L RHTT.
People either like blurs or they don’t. Before there’s enough light to obtain an adequate shutter speed, I like to shoot blurs. Although they rarely turn out, it’s still fun. For me, getting to press the shutter button is fun. Here’s a Great Blue Heron shot at a slow shutter speed. Because I’m panning with the bird, the background gets blurred and if I pan at the same speed the bird is traveling, those parts of the bird that aren’t in motion will render with some degree of sharpness. In this case, the head was in the ballpark and I was able to sharpen it up further in post. (Ardea herodias) (Sony a1, 200-600mm @315mm, 1/30th of a second, f/7.1, ISO 320)
Chaenomeles japonica, known as either the Japanese quince or Maule's quince,is a species of flowering quince. It is a thorny deciduous shrub that is commonly cultivated. It is shorter than another commonly cultivated species C. speciosa, growing to only about 1 m in height. The fruit is called Kusa-boke (草木瓜, Kusa-boke) in Japanese. It is best known for its colorful spring flowers of red, white, pink or multi. It produces apple-shaped fruit that are a golden-yellow color containing red-brown seeds. The fruit is edible, but hard and astringent, unless bletted or cooked. The fruit is occasionally used in jam, jelly and pie making as a substitute for its cousin, the true quince, Cydonia oblonga. C. japonica is also popularly grown in bonsai.
At midstream you stand, the flowing current
touch your feet, transient, fleeting, in an instant.
Flows the water current, constantly touching you
How many cusecs of it, you think, belongs to you ?
Either consider the entire water current is yours
else be certain, really nothing of it is yours
What you belong to is what that belongs to you
Yet, own nothing of the Whole that you belong to
Only class of conscious force is at work
in all parts of each thing of everything Here
All five elements have come into existence
by reason of distinct discrimination of essence
Comfort and discomfort experienced by the senses
Chemical reactions of different types of substances
which collide with the senses in different conditions
and create subtle , entirely varied vibrations
All mental and physical substance, existent
Are part of the incessant flowing force, consistent
Substances flow unceasing, uninterrupted
Your belongings are eternal, unlimited.
Immortal Soul is pure, in union with One
'I' am part of the Whole, which contains me.
Whole is One, a part of which 'I' am wholly
at one with the One, the Whole belongs to me.

The Chinese Foo Dog is a stylized representation of a lion, and is traditionally believed in the East to have powerful protective powers. They normally occur in pairs on either side of the entrance to important buildings. This bronze example is resting on a beautiful eight colour cloisonné ball at Batsford Arboretum in Gloucestershire.
Since many groups discourage either posting images of nests, or giving their locations, I am not going to bother "sharing" this with a group. However, I did want to share with those who follow me on Flickr the curious nature of the general location of this nest that I learned about on Friday. Specifically, I have never seen, nor did I ever imagine a Bald Eagle nest in such close proximity to human activity. I captured this image in the parking lot of a shopping plaza with a large supermarket. A local told me the eagles have been there for at least two years, and managed to fledge two juveniles last year. This eagle flew in while I was observing. The other eagle that had been on the nest, took off a few minutes later leaving this guy to guard to site.
.....mine is the V8! But either would do of course!
The cars are : - 1961 AC Cobra roadster, and a 1955 Mercedes Benz 190 SL roadster.

This will be my last post for a short while. Just taking a break to rest the eyes. Having a little trouble focussing both together at the moment. Typing this was more than a little tricky - only about 40 corrections needed! ; )
I can still have a one eyed look and hit the old fave button, but I will catch up with comments soon! Cheers.
Either side of the wild reflections
Trees line up in both directions
Sculpted by old father time
They disappear into the distant shine
Of the rays, sent from up high
Descending from the kingdom of the sky
Heading down in the direction
Of the beauty of the tree filled reflection

I've been to this location so many times over the years, yet completely missed the curve of the hill and the treeline over the top of Edston Quarry
and yes, there was gratuitous use of a grad filter in this pic! The exposure just wasn't picking up the detail in the sky that was so evident on the infrared photos that evening, and there just wasn't any interesting colour in the sky either!
