the forecast told rain and clouds. So I let the good but larger Camera back, took only the small one. 1000 meter in altitude later I had from the top of the mountain then this view towards the higher peaks of Stubai Alps.

The Forty Foot is a promontory on the southern tip of Dublin Bay at Sandycove, County Dublin, Ireland, from which people have been swimming in the Irish Sea ...
A muggy morning in the summer of 2013 finds 23 cars worth of Q339 being pulled out of the east siding at South Deshler with CSXT 8098 providing all the necessary muscle. I offer this as a submission for "Forty Friday" for more than just the obvious reason. The 8098 was built in 1980, making 2020 its 40th birthday. However, I can't find any photos of it more recent than 2016, so I have to assume its rotting in a deadline somewhere, or worse...
“One day I saw the sun set forty-four times!' And a little later you added, 'You know, when you're feeling very sad, sunsets are wonderful...'
'On the day of the forty-four times, were you feeling very sad?'
But the little prince didn't answer.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
It's Friday. Forty five seems just about right. Half way there.
Have a great day and a fantastic weekend.

Koalas might look like a bear and have the nickname 'Koala bear', but they are marsupials.
The closest living relative to the Koala is the wombat.
Newborn Koalas are so little they could fit on your thumbnail. Koala joeys stay in their mothers’ pouch for about seven months.
Koalas are perfectly built for climbing trees. They have rough paw pads with sharp claws which help them grip tree trunks and branches.
Koalas live in eucalypt forests in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.
Koalas are fussy eaters, eating only a few types of eucalypt leaves. They eat up to one kilogram of leaves each day.
You could think that eucalypt leaves make Koalas drunk, because they seem so dozy. This is a myth - Koala food has little energy, so they rest through the day, saving their energy to look for food at night.
The Aboriginal name for the Koala means ‘no drink animal’. They get most of the water they need from their food or from dew or rainwater on leaves. During drought people have seen Koalas come down from their trees to drink.
Koalas can live up to 18 years. They breed once a year, usually between September and March.

This late sunset at about 8:30 p.m. bounced onto the eastern clouds surprised me and brought me joy.
No increased saturation. Only had time to take the D810 and 105mm f/2.8 prime outside to capture that light on the trees.
Many thanks for looking! Please, no advice. There are many who take skilled landscape shots. I am not one of them ;)

Out and away from the lake and the woods and toward the more civilized (?) necessities provided by the merchant class are the farm lands, most offering these iconic early autumn views of freshly rolled hay bales dotting the landscape. Another of those country scenes always attracting the eye, this pastoral image snapped from the passenger window of the car on the way into town...an exercise in very quick compositional decision-making. ;-))
Rio Grande GP40-2 No. 3099 and Amtrak F40PH units No. 333 and 323 pull a 15-car California Zephyr train No. 6 just outside the Thistle Tunnels in Spanish Fork Canyon the morning of June 11, 1984. The train is traversing a line change that bypassed the town of Thistle and a massive landslide which blocked the D&RGW, the Spanish Fork River, and US Highway 6. The new rail line opened for service on July 4, 1983.

When I was growing up I was lucky enough to live in a home that had a varied and quite extensive garden/orchard and outbuildings. When it came to birdlife the house sparrow was the most common sight in our back yard. Time has moved on for not just me but the house sparrow. It's numbers have fallen by 60% in the UK over the last forty years. Quite why, there is still some debate, but it would seem that agricultural practices and a general tidying up of garden space has removed sources of food and nesting sites.
This photo was taken a month ago from ian's hide.
Gorleston Harbour. This Standby Safety Vessel works the east coast oil, gas and wind farm fields between here and its home port of Aberdeen.
Bruny Island, Tasmania. This trip I noticed that these little birds can be very curious. This one was giving me a serious once over. It still wouldn't come right out in the open though.
Thanks for your views, faves and comments.
You wouldn't know it but we're surrounded by houses here as we walk along the beach in Reef Bay. Our destination is on the opposite side of the water behind the tree on the right of picture
Rideau Canal Locks, and not the kind boats go through, but the love type. Things you do for your 365. I took a similar shot on Sunday, but elected not to go with it as I liked the panning shot I got. So on my way to to the airport, I decided to go make a little detour to make this my shot of the day. Glad I did.
