Thanks to my friends and followers who have viewed many of my photos in this forum, as I surpassed 300,000 overall views after posting my last photo.
Many of the train photos on my stream were taken alongside my young son and co-pilot, whose shadow is next to me in this photo. I am glad he shares my interest in trains and photography, as it has given us many great trips and moments together.
The shadows were long on this cold winter day of 2-23-13, as a westbound BNSF train rounds the curve at Shabbonna and heads toward Lee Tower (the homestead and perch of notable railroad photographer, author, and magazine editor Mike Schafer) and beyond.
Flores is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, an island arc with an estimated area of 14,300 km² extending east from the Java island of Indonesia. The population was 1,831,000 in the 2010 census and the largest town is Maumere. Flores is Portuguese (as well as Spanish) for "flowers".
Flores is located east of Sumbawa and Komodo and west of Lembata and the Alor Archipelago. To the southeast is Timor. To the south, across the Sumba strait, is Sumba and to the north, beyond the Flores Sea, is Sulawesi.
On 12 December 1992, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale occurred, killing 2,500 people in and around Maumere, including islands off the North coast.
HOMO FLORESIENSIS
In September 2004, at Liang Bua Cave in western Flores, paleoanthropologists discovered small skeletons that they described as a previously unknown hominin species, Homo floresiensis. These are informally named hobbits and appear to have stood about 1 m tall. The most complete individual (LB1) is dated as 18,000 years old.
HISTORY
Portuguese traders and missionaries came to Flores in the 16th century, mainly to Larantuka and Sikka. Their influence is still discernible in Sikka's language, culture and religion.
The Dominican order was extremely important in this island, as well as in the neighbouring islands of Timor and Solor. When in 1613 the Dutch attacked the Fortress of Solor, the population of this fort, led by the Dominicans, moved to the harbor town of Larantuka, on the eastern coast of Flores. This population was mixed, of Portuguese and local islanders descent and Larantuqueiros, Topasses (people that wear heats) or, as Dutch knew them, the 'Black Portuguese' (Swarte Portugueezen).
The Larantuqueiros or Topasses became the dominant sandalwood trading people of the region for the next 200 years. This group used Portuguese as the language for worship, Malay as the language of trade and a mixed dialect as mother tongue. This was observed by William Dampier, an English privateer visiting the Island in 1699:
These [the Topasses] have no Forts, but depend on their Alliance with the Natives: And indeed they are already so mixt, that it is hard to distinguish whether they are Portuguese or Indians. Their Language is Portuguese; and the religion they have, is Romish. They seem in Words to acknowledge the King of Portugal for their Sovereign; yet they will not accept any Officers sent by him. They speak indifferently the Malayan and their own native Languages, as well as Portuguese.
In 1846, Dutch and Portuguese initiated negotiations towards delimiting the territories but these negotiations led nowhere. In 1851 the new governor of Timor, Solor and Flores, Lima Lopes, faced with an impoverished administration, agreed to sell eastern Flores and the nearby islands to the Dutch in return for a payment of 200,000 Florins. Lima Lopes did so without the consent of Lisbon and was dismissed in disgrace, but his agreement was not rescinded and in 1854 Portugal ceded all its historical claims on Flores. After this, Flores became part of the territory of Dutch East Indies.
During World War II a Japanese invasion force landed at Reo on 14 May 1942 and occupied Flores.
After the war Flores became part of independent Indonesia.
ADMINISTRATION
Flores is part of the East Nusa Tenggara province. The island along with smaller minor islands are split into eight regencies (local government districts); from west to east these are: Manggarai Barat (West Manggarai), Manggarai Tengah (Central Manggarai), Manggarai Timur (East Manggarai), Ngada, Nagekeo, Ende, Sikka and Flores Timur (East Flores). Flores has 39.1% of the East Nusa Tenggara provincial population as of 2010, and the most Indonesians of all islands in the province.
It is the island with the 9th most Indonesians. Among all islands containing Indonesian territory, it is the 10th most populous after Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, New Guinea, Bali, Madura, Lombok, and Timor.
FLORA AND FAUNA
The west coast of Flores is one of the few places, aside from the island of Komodo itself, where the Komodo dragon can be found in the wild, and is part of Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kelimutu National Park is the second national park designated on Flores to protect endangered species. The Flores giant rat is also endemic to the island, and Verhoeven's giant tree rat was formerly present. These giant rodents are considered examples of island gigantism.
Flores was also the habitat of several extinct dwarf forms of the proboscidean Stegodon, the most recent (Stegodon florensis insularis) disappearing approximately 12,000 years ago. It is speculated by scientists that limited resources and an absence of advanced predators made the few megafaunal species that reached the island subject to insular dwarfism.
CULTURE
There are many languages spoken on the island of Flores, all of them belonging to the Austronesian family. In the centre of the island in the districts of Ngada, Nagekeo, and Ende there is what is variously called the Central Flores Dialect Chain or the Central Flores Linkage. Within this area there are slight linguistic differences in almost every village. At least six separate languages are identifiable. These are from west to east: Ngadha, Nage, Keo, Ende, Lio and Palu'e, which is spoken on the island with the same name of the north coast of Flores. Locals would probably also add So'a and Bajawa to this list, which anthropologists have labeled dialects of Ngadha.
The peoples of Flores are almost entirely Roman Catholic Christians, whereas most other Indonesians are Muslim. As a consequence, Flores may be regarded as surrounded by a religious border. The prominence of Catholicism on the island results from its colonisation by Portugal. In other parts of Indonesia with significant Christian populations, such as the Maluku Islands and Sulawesi, the geographical divide is less rigid and Muslims and Christians sometimes live side by side. Flores thereby also has less religious violence that has sporadically occurred in other parts of Indonesia. There are several churches on the island.
TOURISM
The most famous tourist attraction in Flores is Kelimutu, a volcano containing three colored lakes, located in the district of Ende close to the town of Moni. These crater lakes are in the caldera of a volcano, and fed by a volcanic gas source, resulting in highly acidic water. The colored lakes change colors on an irregular basis, depending on the oxidation state of the lake from bright red through green and blue.
There are snorkelling and diving locations along the north coast of Flores, most notably Maumere and Riung. However, due to the destructive practice of local fishermen using bombs to fish, and locals selling shells to tourists, combined with the after effects of a devastating tsunami in 1992, the reefs have slowly been destroyed.
Labuan Bajo (on the western tip of Flores) is a town often used by tourists as a base to visit Komodo and Rinca. Labuanbajo also attracts scuba divers, as whale sharks inhabit the waters around Labuanbajo.
The Luba and Bena villages include traditional houses in Flores, Bena is also noted for its Stone Age megaliths.
Larantuka, on the isle's eastern end, is known for its Holy Week festivals.
ECONOMY
In addition to tourism, the main economic activities on Flores are agriculture, fishing and seaweed production. The primary food crops being grown on Flores are rice, maize, sweet potato and cassava, while the main cash crops are coffee, coconut, candle nut and cashew. Flores is one of the newest origins for Indonesian coffee. Previously, most Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) from Flores was blended with other origins. Now, demand is growing for this coffee because of its heavy body and sweet chocolate, floral and woody notes.

History
Today's Prague Central Railway Station was founded in 1871 on the route of the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Bahn which was extended from Vienna via Budweis to the north and was initially called the Kaiser Franz Joseph Railway Station (Nádraží císaře Františka Josefa). In the years 1901-1909 - besides the technical extensions - the handling facilities were converted to the today's magnificent Art Nouveau building according to the design of the important architect Josef Fanta. After the First World War, the station was renamed after the American President Woodrow Wilson into Wilson station (Wilsonovo nádraží). Both under the German occupation (1939-1945) and from 1953 it was listending to the name of Hlavní nádraží (Central Station) and it kept this name also after 1989, although the renaming in Wilsonovo nádraží was discussed.
Renovation and modernization
In connection with the construction of the Prague subway, the central station around 1970 received a new, two-part, partially built into the slope entrance hall. Since then, the station is accessible from the street Washingtonova. In the first part of the hall are the accesses to the platforms of the line C which was put into operation in 1974, behind are the ticket counters. Stairs lead to the second part of the hall, this one primarily used as a waiting area. From here you can reach the train platforms via the pedestrian tunnel. The roof surfaces of the entrance hall are used as parking areas for motor vehicles, moreover, the expressway Wilsonova is leading above there.
In 1994 three other platforms with the numbers 5 to 7 were put into operation outside the hall.
Around a century after the construction, also the reception building of the main station urgently had to be renovated. In December 2006 the reconstruction began, based on the proposals of the Czech architect Patrik Kotas. The total cost is estimated to be about 1.6 billion Czech crowns (about 66 million euro). The Italian company Grandi Stazioni, a subsidiary of the Italian national railways, which is provided the station building for 30 years, manages and finances the conversion. The building is to be restored in the secession style and comprehensively modernized. The station will largely turn into a shopping center.
In addition to the modernization of the building, the direct access routes from north and north east have also been newly built since 2004. With the project of the New Connection (Nové spojení), the main station was connected directly to Holešovice station, bypassing Masarykovo nádraží station.
Geschichte
Der heutige Prager Hauptbahnhof wurde im Jahr 1871 an der Strecke der von Wien über Budweis nach Norden weitergeführten Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Bahn gegründet und hieß zunächst Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Bahnhof (Nádraží císaře Františka Josefa). In den Jahren 1901–1909 wurden – neben den technischen Erweiterungen – nach dem Entwurf des bedeutenden Architekten Josef Fanta die Abfertigungsanlagen zu dem heutigen prächtigen Jugendstil-Gebäude umgebaut. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurde der Bahnhof nach dem amerikanischen Präsidenten Woodrow Wilson in Wilson-Bahnhof (Wilsonovo nádraží) umbenannt. Sowohl unter der deutschen Besatzung (1939–1945) als auch ab 1953 hieß er Hlavní nádraží (Hauptbahnhof) und diesen Namen hat er auch nach 1989 behalten, obwohl die Rückbenennung in Wilsonovo nádraží diskutiert wurde.
Renovierung und Modernisierung
In Verbindung mit dem Bau der Prager U-Bahn erhielt der Hauptbahnhof um 1970 eine neue, zweiteilige, teilweise in den Hang eingebaute Eingangshalle. Seitdem ist der Bahnhof von der Washingtonova zugänglich. Im ersten Teil der Halle befinden sich die Zugänge zu den Bahnsteigen der im Jahr 1974 in Betrieb genommenen Linie C, dahinter die Fahrkartenschalter. Über Treppen gelangt man in den zweiten Teil der Halle, der vorrangig als Wartebereich genutzt wird. Von hier aus erreicht man über Fußgängertunnel die Bahnsteige. Die Dachflächen der Eingangshalle werden als Parkflächen für Kraftfahrzeuge genutzt, außerdem führt die Schnellstraße Wilsonova darüber.
Im Jahr 1994 wurden außerhalb der Halle drei weitere Bahnsteige mit den Nummern 5 bis 7 in Betrieb genommen.
Rund ein Jahrhundert nach dem Bau musste auch das Empfangsgebäude des Hauptbahnhofs dringend saniert werden. Im Dezember 2006 begann der Umbau, der auf den Vorschlägen des tschechischen Architekten Patrik Kotas beruht. Die Gesamtkosten werden mit etwa 1,6 Milliarden Tschechischen Kronen (circa 66 Millionen Euro) veranschlagt. Den Umbau leitet und finanziert die italienische Firma Grandi Stazioni, ein Tochterunternehmen der italienischen Staatsbahnen, welche dafür das Bahnhofsgebäude 30 Jahre lang zur Verfügung erhält. Das Gebäude soll im Sezessionsstil wiederhergestellt sowie umfassend modernisiert werden. Der Bahnhof wird sich dabei weitgehend in ein Einkaufszentrum verwandeln.
Neben der Modernisierung des Gebäudes werden auch die direkten Zulaufstrecken aus Norden und Nordosten seit 2004 neu gebaut. Mit dem Projekt der Neuen Verbindung (Nové spojení) wurde der Hauptbahnhof direkt an den Bahnhof Holešovice unter Umgehung des Kopfbahnhofes Masarykovo nádraží angebunden.

Information board at Woody Bay Station (September 2021) showing plan to extend the existing stretch of the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway in North Devon
Upper image is a map copied from the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 map and represents an East-West distance of about 7 Km. The faint straight lines running obliquely from the top to bottom edges of the map run N-S, with N towards the top edge. Lynmouth and Lynton lie at the eastern (right hand) edge, and the Wistlandpound Reservoir at the western (left hand) edge. The red line traces the present route and the proposed extensions in each direction. I have marked a thick red line on the map to indicate the present working stretch of the line from Woody Bay station at the eastern end to Killington Lane at the western end, length 0.9 Km.
Middle image shows the topographic profile of the proposed reinstatement including the existing stretch. The highest point is just east of Woody Bay station itself at about 310 m above sea level.
Lower image is a satellite view of the same area as the map in the upper image, with the red line of the railway as above. The mosaic pattern consists of agricultural fields marked by hedges and fences.
--------------------
SUMMARY OF THE LINE
Originally opened in 1898, and closed in 1935, the existing stretch of line at Woody Bay is currently the beginning of a project to rebuild one of the world's most famous and picturesque narrow-gauge railways. Original gauge 1 ft 11+1⁄2 in (597 mm), now 1 ft 11+5⁄8 in (600 mm). Original length of line slightly over 19 miles (31 km). At current time, the restored line is 0.9-mile (1.4 km) long from Woody Bay, westwards to Killington Lane. Plans are in hand to extend to 9 miles (14 km) of track, linking the station at Woody Bay eastwards to Lynton (at a new terminus on an extension to the original line, closer to the town) and westwards to Blackmoor Gate, and to a new station at Wistlandpound Reservoir.

Helaas moesten wij begin juli afscheid nemen van onze lieve Bunny, het konijn van Noëlle.
Maandag heeft Noëlle na ongeveer 45 min. staren & twijfelen dit kleine konijntje uitgezocht.
Dat was moeilijk kiezen, allemaal schatjes......
Es difícil pensar que uno solo pueda montarse un picnic, no tanto por la tarea de hacer los bocatas, sino por la pereza de extender la manta en medio del césped y sentarse sin compañía a ver las hormigas pasar. Eso puede ser una merienda introspectiva en el campo infinito de la subjetividad. Nuestro respeto para esos momentos del yo. Un picnic implica más de una persona, conjunción, atención y cuidado por el otro, puesta en común. Lo mismo pasa con nuestras Picnic, a las que uno puede venir solo pero la empatía, el roce de los cuerpos, las risas y las puestas de sol veraniegas de fondo, hacen de la experiencia algo inolvidablemente colectivo. En esta edición de las Picnic insistimos un año más en el movimiento peculiar que produce lo efímero, en el aquí y ahora, en la sutileza del juego de intensidades, en los límites de la percepción, en lo desconocido. Quisimos ralentizar el parpadeo, el guiño, quedarnos sin respiración, quisimos sudar, excitarnos, activar nuestros cuerpos y mentes en un ejercicio de cinestesia. Creando un paréntesis en la virtualidad pensamos estas picnic como un catalizador que produjese efectos inesperados pero tangibles, que nos tocasen, que nos afectasen y que nos devolvieran a la ciudad con otra mirada sobre nuestro cotidiano.

It is difficult to think that one can only set up a picnic, not so much for the task of making the sandwiches, but for the laziness of extending the blanket in the middle of the lawn and sit unattended to watch the ants go by. This can be an introspective snack in the infinite field of subjectivity. Our respect for those moments of self. A picnic involves more than one person, conjunction, attention and care by the other, pooling. The same happens with our Picnic, to which one can come alone but the empathy, the friction of the bodies, the laughter and the background summer sunsets, make of the experience something unforgettable collective. In this edition of the Picnic we insist on another year in the peculiar movement that produces the ephemeral, in the here and now, in the subtlety of the game of intensities, in the limits of perception, in the unknown. We wanted to slow down the blink, the wink, our breath, we wanted to sweat, excite us, activate our bodies and minds in a kinesthesia exercise. Creating a parenthesis in virtuality we think of these picnic as a catalyst that produces unexpected but tangible effects, that touched us, that affected us and that we return to the city with another look at our daily life.
Comisarios/ Curators: Juan Dominguez and Jose Villalobos.

The V-Ring Extender is an add on to a riggers belt, and it is an alternative to a hard sewn v-ring on a belt. This one can be used in the front or back, and it can be rotated up or down. It is made with Type 13 - 4088 webbing with a black phosphate coated steel v-ring, and sewn with #69 bonded nylon thread.
After making this edit then undoing it with the History palette, I had the unsettling feeling that the original (with me in it) was the fake.
