For a short time, Amtrak’s California Zephyr saw 161 on rotation. This was Amtrak’s Phase I heritage unit and replaced the previous Phase I, 156, after it hit a truck and got severely damaged. Just like 156, 161 also has been retired as a few weeks ago it caught fire in Washington D.C. and was burnt to a crisp.

ad victoriam - For victory
Hey everyone, here’s a vignette that’s been sitting on my desk for months and I finally found the motivation to finish it. It’s nothing too interesting but I had fun making the figures.
Sagres, Praia de Tonel, Elmarit 28mm.
Praia do Tonel is popular with surfers as it offers a brisk-westerly wind that often produces large Atlantic breakers. Also nice for sunbathing etc. because of the sheltered spots back towards the cliffs.
Thanks for all your visits, comments and invites on my previous photos and for all the support and friendship in the past "Flickr year", much appreciated!
The daughter of my dear friend Marina is seriously ill, and I just wanted to let them know my thoughts are with them both...
canal called Heemraadssingel. In Rotterdam not for defending the city, but to build houses for the rich people to live just outside the center.
Simple wooden benches were the best seats on the dock for the G4 geomagnetic storm (aka northern lights) in the early morning hours of April 24, 2023. Spectacular beaming colors danced across the night sky and reflected on the remaining ice of Bass Lake in Price County, WI. Observation tower on Tim's Hill just peeks above the treetops across the lake.

he past few months have been mostly about producing higher quality work. This is not very relevant for social media, but I'm obsessed with the idea of scaling up my images for some future projects.

Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel et Kate Bush
in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose
don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong
rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up
'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing
moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs
don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong

No importa quiénes seamos, dónde estemos o lo que hagamos, todos dependemos del agua. La necesitamos todos los días, de muchas maneras, para gozar de salud, producir alimentos, para transportarnos, para la irrigación y la industria. También la necesitamos para los animales y las plantas, para dar vida a la naturaleza y para el cambio de las estaciones. Sin embargo, a pesar de la importancia que el agua tiene sobre nuestras vidas y nuestro bienestar, cada vez la respetamos menos. Abusamos de ella. La desperdiciamos, la contaminamos, olvidando lo esencial que es para nuestra propia supervivencia.

I displayed miniatures with Licca and took some photos of them for a change... It's so fun! ^_^
Finally I decided the color of the sewing boxes and finished painting them. But the work to sand their surface is still left... that's a little troublesome. sigh~^^;
Best wishes to all my Flickr friends for happy holidays. Stay safe. I know where I want to be once it warms up.

Fish for Breakfast
I never knew that grackles ate fish, but this female boat-tailed grackle at Ocean City, New Jersey caught and fed three fish to her fledglings within ten minutes. Much more efficient than the herons nesting nearby

Something different for today. Prayers for folks next-door in Alabama that got hit by tornadoes last night. We awoke to a tornado watch at 3 a.m. but everything is calm here. Check out the videos of the 2 guys & their dog driving through the wildfires in Gatlinburg, Tennessee (Michael Luciano) ... I don't know how they got out of there - angels no doubt. These rains have hopefully helped with the fires.
The cataclysmic 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines was the second largest volcanic eruption of the twentieth century, and by far the largest eruption to affect a densely populated area. It occurred on June 15, 1991. I was part of the evacuation and relief effort. It was the last action of any significance I would perform in the US Navy.
The eruption produced high-speed avalanches of hot ash and gas, giant mudflows, and a cloud of volcanic ash hundreds of miles across that ushered in climate change across the globe. The resulting damage to US assets in the Philippines was pivotal in the decision to close the massive strategic US military bases there. Many US servicemen lost friends and family in the ordeal never to be heard from again. The impacts of the eruption continue to this day.
A location I've wanted to visit for some time is 'Sculpture by the Lakes' near Dorchester in Dorset. It's a sculpture park featuring many wonderful works by renowned sculptor Simon Gudgeon. The art is thoughtfully placed in the beautifully landscaped grounds, and it's well worth a visit, both for photographers and art lovers alike.
Beekbergerwoud
The Netherlands has 20 national parks and hundreds of other nature reserves. Most are owned by Staatsbosbeheer and Natuurmonumenten and include lakes, heathland, woods, dunes and other habitats.
According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, the territory of the Netherlands belongs to the Eco region of Atlantic mixed forests.
In 1871 the last old original natural woods (Beekbergerwoud) were cut down, and most woods today are planted monocultures of trees like Scots Pine and trees that are not native to the Netherlands. These woods were planted on anthropogenic heaths and sand-drifts (overgrazed heaths) (Veluwe).
For a long time the Beekbergerwoud has been known as the last `primaeval` woodland of the Netherlands.
Natuurmonumenten started in 2006 with the restoration of the area and tries to gain back a little of the fairytale wilderness.
Nutrient-poor and crystal clear water wells up at some places and there are still rare plants from the former swamp present. Seeds of native trees and plants are still in the ground and can sprout again.

Beekbergerwoud
10 juni 2013, natuur in wording. Even ten zuiden van Apeldoorn ligt het Beekbergerwoud. Ooit het laatste oerbos van Nederland, ontwikkelt dit vroegere agrarische gebied zich al weer aardig tot een gevarieerd natuurgebied waar je heerlijk kunt wandelen. Zo’n 8.000 jaar bleef het Beekbergerwoud ongeschonden. Totdat in 1871 tot de laatste boom werd geveld. Er kwam een agrarisch gebied met weilanden en akkers. Natuurmonumenten is in 2006 begonnen met herstel van het gebied en probeert daarbij iets van de sprookjesachtige wildernis terug te brengen. Je kunt in het Beekbergerwoud wandelen vanaf de parkeerplaats aan de Woudweg in Klarenbeek. Helder water Een bijzonder natuurgebied om te beleven, want de omstandigheden voor unieke natuur zijn nog altijd aanwezig: Er welt op een aantal plaatsen kraakhelder, voedselarm water uit de bodem op. En zijn nog steeds zeldzame planten uit het voormalige moerasbos aanwezig. Zaden van oorspronkelijke bomen en planten zaten nog in de grond en kunnen weer ontkiemen. Verbinding met IJsseldelta Het herstel houdt in dat het schone welwater beter in het gebied blijft staan. Op een aantal bulten zijn al zoete kers, zomereik, haagbeuk en winterlinde geplant. Meer werkzaamheden zullen volgen, met als doel dat het Beekbergerwoud een aanwinst is voor de Nederlandse natuur. Een onmisbare schakel die de Veluwe als vanouds met de IJsseldelta verbindt. Zodat planten, zoogdieren, vogels, reptielen en amfibieën zich beter over grote afstand kunnen verplaatsen.

Heaven For Everyone - the genial song performed by Freddie Mercury (Queen) is exactly the perfect title for the region where I live.
Here the road can be seen where I walked some days ago through my beloved Mühlviertel in the Northern part of Upper Austria ...
Don´t forget to listen to the song :-))

AAW May 15 - 22: Black and White Shadows
WIT: I was at a restaurant during a rain storm, but the sun shone through the window and curtain for about 5 seconds before disappearing behind the clouds again, so I only had a chance at one shot when I saw the shadows thrown across the floor.
BW conversion was in-camera, and in post just cropped and slightly upped the contrast.
