...I mentioned before that we are having temperamental September... So here is an impression from one very rainy-misty day. The sunset was so mysteriously impressive - all filled with peachy pink light caught in the constantly moving mist... A pure magic!
Tried to be gently with texture processing to keep this mysterious feel to it...
More of the misty side of September is coming soon - Stay tuned! / Bientot a l'ecran! :-)

All these years, I only had the chance to look at those beautiful Milky Way images taken by those lucky few. I never realized that one day my yearning would turn into reality. Late at night, I could see so many stars thru the window, so without much delay, we set out into the dead of the night for some stargazing. Without any kind of phone connectivity or an app to help locate the Milky Way, I just went into BULB mode on the camera and a new portal opened before my eyes. My very own capture. I knew at that moment; I exist.
SD45's were common during the entire existence of WC in the Upper Peninsula but not often running like this set long hood out. Train LO-34 heads west out of Trout Lake with 71 cars on July 3, 1994. This crew was confronted with the power positioned like this at Soo yard and didn't bother wasting time turning the units as they were more inclined to get to Gladstone ASAP so they could get an early quit to take rest and get a early start home the next day to be done for some afternoon/evening 4th of July celebrating back at Sault Ste. Marie. Engineer Kenny and conductor Ron were ex SOO and could get over the road in a hurry. I was never fond of long hood out but it was nice to capture it rarely as WC did there best N&W/Southern impersonation:)
Le premier témoignage écrit de l’existence d’Esch-sur-Sûre se retrouve dans le « Liber aureus Epternacensis ». Dans ce livre de l’abbaye d’Echternach, il est noté qu’un certain Nebelungus a fait don de ses propriétés avec serfs de « Hesc » à ladite abbaye. Cet acte remonte à l’an 3 du règne de Charlemagne, c.-à-d. entre le 9 octobre 773 et le 9 octobre 774.
Le 3 juin 927, un certain Meginaud a acquis, par échange avec l’abbaye de Stavelot, le site d’Esch-sur-Sûre. Il a érigé une tour d’habitation carrée de 8 x 8 mètres et les bâtiments d’exploitation agricole. À la fin du 11e siècle, les frères Henri 1er et Godefroi 1er ont participé à la préparation de la première croisade. De ce fait, ils n’ont pas su réaliser des travaux au château. Les deux derniers seigneurs de la lignée des comtes d’Esch ont considérablement agrandi leur territoire et leur château. En ces temps, la seigneurie d’Esch-sur-Sûre comptait 19 villages et hameaux et s’étendait jusqu’à Diekirch.
Les premières constructions du château ont donc été réalisées pendant la période romane, tandis que son développement a eu lieu à l’époque gothique.
Avec l’apparition de la poudre au 15e siècle, il a fallu adapter les constructions défensives. Ainsi, tout le village fut entouré d’un mur d’enceinte de 450 m de long et de 1,5 m de large avec deux tours défensives. La tour de guet ronde a également été fortifiée.
La décadence du château fort débuta vers le milieu du 16e siècle pour se terminer au 19e siècle. Après la prise de la forteresse de Luxembourg (1685), les troupes de Louis XIV s’employaient à démanteler les places fortes du pays.
À Esch-sur-Sûre, on n’a pas détruit le mur d’enceinte, parce que des maisons y étaient adossées et certaines le sont toujours (à voir en montant la ruelle à gauche de la mairie).
Vers le milieu du 19e siècle, le château passa entre les mains de bourgeois qui y habitaient. Lorsque Victor Hugo visita le bourg au bord de la Sûre en été 1871, le château abritait toujours plusieurs familles. La chapelle du château fut restaurée en 1906.
De nos jours, il ne reste que des ruines consolidées pour témoigner du fier passé de la seigneurie d’Esch-sur-Sûre.
The first written evidence of the existence of Esch-sur-Sûre can be found in the “Liber aureus Epternacensis”. In this book of the Abbey of Echternach, it is noted that a certain Nebelungus donated his properties with serfs of “Hesc” to the said abbey. This act dates back to the year 3 of the reign of Charlemagne, i.e. between October 9, 773 and October 9, 774. On June 3, 927, a certain Meginaud acquired, by exchange with the Abbey of Stavelot, the site of Esch-sur-Sûre. He built a square residential tower of 8 x 8 meters and the farm buildings. At the end of the 11th century, the brothers Henry I and Godfrey I participated in the preparation of the first crusade. As a result, they were unable to carry out work on the castle. The last two lords of the line of the Counts of Esch considerably expanded their territory and their castle. At that time, the lordship of Esch-sur-Sûre included 19 villages and hamlets and extended as far as Diekirch.
The first constructions of the castle were therefore carried out during the Romanesque period, while its development took place in the Gothic period.
With the advent of gunpowder in the 15th century, it was necessary to adapt the defensive constructions. Thus, the entire village was surrounded by a 450 m long and 1.5 m wide perimeter wall with two defensive towers. The round watchtower was also fortified.
The decline of the fortified castle began around the middle of the 16th century and ended in the 19th century. After the capture of the fortress of Luxembourg (1685), Louis XIV's troops set about dismantling the country's strongholds.
In Esch-sur-Sûre, the surrounding wall was not destroyed because houses were built against it and some still are (you can see it by going up the alley to the left of the town hall).
Towards the middle of the 19th century, the castle passed into the hands of bourgeois who lived there. When Victor Hugo visited the town on the banks of the Sûre in the summer of 1871, the castle was still home to several families. The castle chapel was restored in 1906.
Today, only consolidated ruins remain to bear witness to the proud past of the lordship of Esch-sur-Sûre.
“I existed long before you knew me, I’ve always been someone.” Those words have haunted me since they floated through my brain at the age of 15, as an argument against those who thought they knew me enough to judge me. To this day I still know with an absolute sense, what those words meant to me. This piece is about those words, those syllables, about their meaning, about breaking them down to create something stronger, something beyond the scope of others. I burnt my words because it was time for a change; it was time to burn the shackles and rise again, to rise above, the judgments of other people. I’ve spent far too long thinking that I needed the validation of smaller insignificant people to truly exist, but that part of me is over. I burnt my words because they are a show of weakness; they are a cry for acceptance, and I see now that they are pointless. I am not the type of girl who will every be accepted, I’m too strong for that. I have risen from the ashes of myself; my words, and in time will find new syllables to describe the anthem of my heart and the creeds within my head."
The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

For centuries rumors of mysterious white lions had been circulating in South Africa. Confirmation of the existence of white lions only came in the twentieth century.
White lions were first recorded in 1928 and in the early 1940s. In 1975, two white cubs were seen at Timbavati Game Reserve, adjacent to Krüger National Park in South Africa.
They were roughly two weeks old. The discovery was a sensation.
The white specimens proved to be male and female.
They were named Temba (Zulu for hope) and Tombi (girl). A few months later Temba en Tombi were taken to the National Zoo in Pretoria, South Africa.
The 50 white lions currently in zoos worldwide are descendants of Temba and Tombi. White Lions cannot probable survive in the wild due to perceived lack of camouflage. Adult white lions in the wild have never seen.
White Lions are not albinos, but rare color mutations of the Krüger subspecies of lion (Panthera leo krugeri).
They have a combination of recessive genes which give them a white skin. The genetic condition, leucism, that causes paler colouration akin to that of the white tiger; the condition is similar to melanism, which causes black panthers. The white lion has been perpetuated by selective breeding in zoos around the world.

Al eeuwen waren er geruchten in omloop over mysterieuze witte leeuwen in Zuid-Afrika. Bevestiging van het bestaan van witte leeuwen kwam pas in de twintigste eeuw.
Witte leeuwen werden voor het eerst geregistreerd in 1928 en in 1941/42. In 1975 werden twee witte welpen aangetroffen in het Timbavati Reservaat, grenzend aan het Krüger Nationaal Park in Zuid-Afrika. De welpjes waren ongeveer twee weken oud. De ontdekking was een sensatie.
De witte dieren bleken een mannetje en vrouwtje te zijn. Ze werden Temba (Zulu voor 'hoop') en Tombi ('meisje') genoemd. Een paar maanden later werden Temba en Tombi opgenomen in de National Zoo in Pretoria, Zuid-Afrika.
De 50 witte leeuwen wereldwijd in dierentuinen zijn nakomelingen van Temba en Tombi. De laatste witte leeuw werd in 1994 in het wild gezien. Witte leeuwen kunnen waarschijnlijk in het wild niet overleven door de lichte vacht zonder camouflage.
Volwassen witte leeuwen zijn in het wild nog nooit gezien.
De witte leeuw is niet een albino, maar een zeldzame kleurmutatie van de Transvaal of Krüger ondersoort van de leeuw (Panthera leo krugeri). De speciale kleurmutatie met een genetische aandoening, leucisme, veroorzaakt een bleke kleuring zoals ook bij de witte tijger. De voorwaarde is enigszins gelijk aan melanisme, die tot zwarte panters leidt.
Door selectief te fokken in dierentuinen over de hele wereld zijn deze leeuwen behouden.
