Late summer offers some very charming colours, with the sun getting lower and lower each day and the leaves slowly turning their colours from green to yellow and red.
One of the late september days - 25.09.2025 - I made a day trip to the part of the Ostbahn between Piła and Krzyż, where I was hoping to see SM31-143 with some trackworks trains, which were running around in the area.
As a bonus, I caught SM42-758 in Trzcianka, a very classic station on the old Prussian mainline, as it was shunting a rake of Gondolas after offloading aggregates at the ramp located near the station. Seeing PKP Cargo's SM42s in service is not a given nowadays, and it's even harder to see them on mainline duties - which happened that very day. The locomotive formed the train and left shortly after towards Piła.

Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located on the Cape Peninsula, in Simon's Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also commonly known as Boulders Bay. It is a popular tourist spot because of a colony of African penguins which settled there in 1982. Boulders Beach forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
These African penguins are only found on the coastlines of Southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia). These penguins are currently endangered. As a result, the penguins are under the protection of the Cape Nature Conservation.
Although set in a residential area, it is one of the few sites where this vulnerable bird (Spheniscus demersus) can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 3000 birds in recent years. This is partly due to the prohibition of commercial pelagic trawling in False Bay, which has increased the supply of sardines and anchovies, which form part of the penguins' diet. as well as the help from former SANDF naval officer, Van the Penguin Man
Bordered mainly by indigenous bush above the high-water mark on the one side, and the clear water of False Bay on the other, the area comprises several small sheltered bays, partially enclosed by granite boulders that are 540 million years old.
The most popular recreational spot is Boulders Beach, but the penguins are best viewed from Foxy Beach, where newly constructed boardwalks take visitors to within a few metres of the birds. It is also a famous swimming beach, although people are restricted to beaches adjacent to the penguin colony.

La fotografía plasma nuestra forma de ser, vivencias y estados de ánimo, en ella reflejamos nuestras vivencias, viajes y momentos de la vida.
Con un poco de tiempo, mirando hacia atrás en el archivo, puedes observar los diferentes procesos y vivencias que te han pasado plasmado en imágenes.
Las fotos nos traen los mejores recuerdos del tiempo pasado con nuestros amigos, mano a mano en la localización.
Muchos de vosotros me comentáis que muchas de mis fotos están subexpuestas, si, es verdad; pero es un reflejo más del momento.
Tengo un amigo que dice, "lo importante no es la foto, sino estar allí para hacerla", no puedo más que dar la razón. A mí, personalmente, mis fotos me trasladan a momentos, por ejemplo “Lofoten under the moon light”, me lleva a ver a mi amigo Iñaki Larri ayudándome a poner la batería de mi cámara mientras yo no podía no doblar los dedos, la foto al final es lo de menos, lo que me queda es el recuerdo. Esa foto me trasladará al puente cada vez que la vea, y podré volver a ver fugar las nubes acariciadas por el huracán Ole a la luz de la luna.
Mi primera serie de las Bardenas viene tras llegar en el coche con mi primo y un amigo, risa tras risa, esa serie tiene algo especial que no sabría describir.
En muchos de mis procesados, veo los consejos y las bromas con Dario Sastre por el teléfono.
Llegar a esta conclusión me ha llevado tiempo; pero al final no me llevo las fotos, me llevo recuerdos, soy incapaces de recordar una foto tal y cómo es; pero podríamos describir perfectamente el momento que viví cuando la ejecuté.
Normalmente, cuanto más grande es el recuerdo, mejor suele ser la foto, parece como si un trozo de nosotros se quedará plasmado en la imagen, dejando nuestra firma en ellas.
Kekaha Town literally grew up around this mill. From the founding of Kekaha Sugar Co. in 1898 until the end of sugar operations in 2000, the mill provided the area its main economic driver, not to mention one of its most prominent landmarks: the smokestack that still towers above the town.

Sweet dreams, form a shade
O'er my lovely infant's head!
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams
By happy, silent, moony beams!
Sweet Sleep, with soft down
Weave thy brows an infant crown
Sweet Sleep, angel mild,
Hover o'er my happy child!
Sweet smiles, in the night
Hover over my delight!
Sweet smiles, mother's smile,
All the livelong night beguile.
Sweet moans, dovelike sighs,
Chase not slumber from thine eyes!
Sweet moan, sweeter smile,
All the dovelike moans beguile.
Sleep, sleep, happy child!
All creation slept and smiled.
Sleep, sleep, happy sleep,
While o'er thee doth mother weep.
Sweet babe, in thy face
Holy image I can trace;
Sweet babe, once like thee
Thy Maker lay, and wept for me:
Wept for me, for thee, for all,
When He was an infant small.
Thou His image ever see,
Heavenly face that smiles on thee!
Smiles on thee, on me, on all,
Who became an infant small;
Infant smiles are his own smiles;
Heaven and earth to peace beguiles.
William Blake
This reservoir is in the Sierra foothills outside of Fresno. There isn't much water in the reservoir this time of year, but I loved the thunderheads that were forming the high country. This view is looking towards Kings Canyon National Park and you can still see the smoke from the wildfire that has been burning for the last three months.
Maya Bay, nestled on Thailand’s Phi Phi Leh Island, is famed for its surreal beauty—towering limestone cliffs, powdery white sands, and turquoise waters. An adventure into Maya Bay is more than just a beach visit; it’s a blend of awe and adrenaline.
Typically, the adventure begins with a boat ride, often from Phi Phi Don or even Phuket or Krabi. Longtail boats or speedboats slice through the Andaman Sea, with ocean spray and tropical breezes heightening the sense of anticipation. As you approach, the cliffs form a dramatic embrace around the bay—making it feel like a hidden world.
The existence of this mountain and Bandung's topographic form in the form of a basin with hills and mountains on each side reinforces the theory of the existence of a large lake which is now the Bandung area. Geologists believe that the highland area of Bandung with an altitude of approximately 709 m above sea level is the remnant of a large lake formed by the damming of Ci Tarum by ancient volcanic eruptions known as Mount Sunda and Mount Tangkuban Parahu is the remnant of ancient Sunda Mountain which is still active. This phenomenon can be seen on Krakatau Mountain in the Sunda Strait and the Ngorongoro region in Tanzania, Africa.
Forma parte del "Parque Nacional Bernardo O'Higgins", en la región de Magallanes. Navegando por el fiordo Última Esperanza, se encuentra a 3 horas y media en barco desde (Puerto Natales). Y luego, hay que caminar por un sendero, bordeando la Laguna Serrano, hasta ver la vista de la foto.

Single Form, by Barbara Hepworth.
This sculpture stands in Battersea Park London, on the South shore of the lake, and is a smaller version of the one that stands at the United Nations in New York.
The first cast was made in 1963, and was displayed in an open air sculpture exhibition in Battersea Park.
In October that year, It was was shipped to America. It was donated to the Johns Hopkins University, and displayed in Washington D.C.
A second cast was also made in 1963, and was bought by the London County Council and installed at Battersea Park. (pictured here)
Hepworth doubled the size for a casting that would become the largest bronze artwork ever cast at Morris Singer's London foundry.
It was commissioned for the United Nations building, and was erected in New York in May 1964. This bigger version weighs 5.5 tonnes, and stands 6.4m high.
It has now stood at the United Nations for 60 years.

Two different forms of transportation momentarily meet as the BHS heads lite to switch Odyssey. The MASSIVE Cargill terminal at the port sets the backdrop for this scene. This may or may not be what I've heard called the "100" Crew. I clearly have a lot to learn about this operation... but that's what makes things fun!
A pair of retired form MARC commuter rail units sit derelict stored on the property of shortline Columbia and Reading. GP40WH-2s 56 and 58 were heavily rebuilt by Morrison–Knudsen from GP40 freight units (originally IC 3040 and PC 3141 respectively) gaining flared SD45 radiators and wide noses from old F45s at that time. They served as primary MARC power from 1994 until sometime between 2009 and 2011 when the fleet was sold off excepting one retained for non-revenue service. Purchased by M-K successor Motive Power Inc. many were remanufactured again into MP32PH-Q locomotives for use on SunRail as seen in this recent image I shared: flic.kr/p/2kVW4Uj But these particular two have languished here for years along with sisters 54 and 57 which recently departed. It appears that MPI successor Wabtec sold all four to Staunton, VA based Precision Locomotive Leasing account all four are listed on their website here: www.pnlxrail.com/locomotives so maybe their story isn't over just yet!

Tiel. Prins Bernhardsluizen.
The Prins Bernhardsluizen form the shipping connection between the river Waal and the southern part of the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. They are located on the east side of Tiel, the lock gates were built in 1952 by Werkspoor Utrecht and are owned by Rijkswaterstaat. The Amsterdam-Rhine Canal is designated as CEMT class VIb with maximum dimensions (L × W × D) of 200 × 23.5 × 4.0 metres.[4]
North of the lock, the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal is crossed by:
• The Betuwelijn, the railway line between Tiel and Arnhem
• Rijksweg 15 (A15)
• The Betuweroute, the railway connection between Rotterdam and Germany
• The Grotebrugse Grintweg, a local connection between the industrial estates on either side of the canal
De Prins Bernhardsluizen vormen de scheepvaartverbinding tussen de rivier de Waal en het zuidelijk gedeelte van het Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. Ze liggen aan de oostkant van Tiel, de sluisdeuren zijn in 1952 gebouwd door Werkspoor Utrecht en eigendom van Rijkswaterstaat. Het Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal is aangewezen als CEMT-klasse VIb met als maximale maten (L × B × D) 200 × 23,5 × 4,0 meter.[4]
Ten noorden van de sluis wordt het Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal gekruist door:
•De Betuwelijn, de spoorlijn tussen Tiel en Arnhem
•Rijksweg 15 (A15)
•De Betuweroute, de spoorverbinding tussen Rotterdam en Duitsland
•De Grotebrugse Grintweg, een lokale verbinding tussen de bedrijventerreinen aan weerszijden van het kanaal
Dragon dance (simplified Chinese: 舞龙; traditional Chinese: 舞龍; pinyin: wǔ lóng) is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. Like the lion dance, it is most often seen during festive celebrations. The dance is performed by a team of experienced dancers who manipulate a long flexible giant puppet of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon. The dance team simulates the imagined movements of this river spirit in a sinuous, undulating manner.
The dragon dance is often performed during Chinese New Year. Chinese dragons are a symbol of China's culture, and they are believed to bring good luck to people, therefore the longer the dragon is in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community. The dragons are believed to possess qualities that include great power, dignity, fertility, wisdom and auspiciousness. The appearance of a dragon is both fearsome and bold but it has a benevolent disposition, and it was an emblem to represent imperial authority. The movements in a performance traditionally symbolize the power and dignity of the dragon.
Chinese New Year is the festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. In Chinese, the festival is commonly referred to as the Spring Festival (traditional Chinese: 春節; simplified Chinese: 春节; pinyin: Chūnjié) as the spring season in the lunisolar calendar traditionally starts with lichun, the first of the twenty-four solar terms which the festival celebrates around the time of the Chinese New Year. Marking the end of winter and the beginning of the spring season, observances traditionally take place from New Year's Eve, the evening preceding the first day of the year to the Lantern Festival, held on the 15th day of the year. The first day of Chinese New Year begins on the new moon that appears between 21 January and 20 February. S20N_1334

The rock formation "Twelve Apostles" in morning light. Australia is still closed for most tourists. So, all we have left are "postcards" like this one.

Monaco, en forme longue la principauté de Monaco, en monégasque Principatu de Mu̍negu, est un État d'Europe de l'Ouest,
Elle est située au bord de la mer Méditerranée, le long de la Côte d'Azur, à une vingtaine de kilomètres à l’est de Nice, et à 8,1 km de Menton, ville frontalière avec l'Italie.
Entourée par les villes françaises de Cap-d'Ail, Beausoleil, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin et La Turbie, la principauté dispose d'un accès direct à la mer et d'eaux territoriales rejoignant les eaux internationales ; elle n'est donc pas un territoire enclavé à proprement parler.

After I finished working on my new "Goo Gach" for my key chain today I quickly polished Tiff's and put a hole in it for a key chain ring and then WAM BAM, it was done.
I didn't have to do much to this piece of metal to turn into a little piece of dangling art, just had to clean it up and drill a hole.
Tiff likes her Goo Gach !
