Looking great in fresh paint, veteran S317 leads container train 1845 through Lithgow past the last-built member of the 81 class, 8184, in October 2015.
Streamlined bulldog and good looker S317 was about to turn 54 years old, while functional 8184, the newest of its class, was a youngish 24. The first of each class entered service in 1957 and 1982 respectively. 8184 was one of four additional 81 class built several years after the rest.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this goatsbeard (Tragopogon dubius or western salsify) plant growing on our acreage! I love experimenting with the seedheads!!
Tragopogon dubius (western salsify, western goat's-beard, wild oysterplant, yellow salsify, yellow goat's beard, goat's beard, goatsbeard, common salsify, salsify) [...] has been introduced into North America where it has become widespread, being reported from all the continental United States except for a few in the far south-east, and all provinces of Canada except Newfoundland and the northern territories.
Like most salsifies, the Western Salsify grows as an annual or occasionally biennial forb, reaching a height of typically 20-60 cm but sometimes almost a metre. It grows typically in warm, sheltered spots with moist soil. Its yellow flower is 4-6 cm in diameter and is likely to be seen in late spring or early summer. The flowers open early in the morning and often close up by late afternoon. Later the plant forms a seed head that resembles that of the dandelions but is distinctly larger. The seeds themselves (known as achenes) are 2-4 cm long but featherweight, weighing about 8 mg each on average. [...]

I think of the brown tint images here as fighting forms. More detailed descrption to come. Below is a basic meaning of the title series.
Tenkō (転向, literally, changing direction) is a Japanese term referring to the coerced ideological conversions of Japanese socialists and communists who, between 1925 and 1945, were induced to renounce leftist ideologies and enthusiastically embrace the Emperor-centric, capitalist, and imperialist ideology favored by the state. Tenkō was typically performed under duress, most often in police custody, and was a condition for release (although surveillance and harassment would often continue thereafter). But it was also a broader phenomenon, a kind of cultural reorientation in the face of national crisis, that did not always involve direct repression

My second pass at this object. Captured a few more hours of data to add to the first set. I used very short exposures with the rgb camera to avoid the bright star nearby (Gamma Cassiopeiae) from over saturating the surrounding area.
"Cassiopeia's Ghost Nebula is a reflection and emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is often referred to as "Cassiopeia’s Ghost" due to its wispy, ghostly appearance. Here is an overview of its key characteristics:
Location and Distance: Cassiopeia’s Ghost Nebula lies approximately 550 light-years away from Earth. It is located near the bright star Gamma Cassiopeiae, a variable star that plays a critical role in illuminating the nebula.
Appearance and Structure: The nebula appears as a faint, ghostly cloud, with delicate, wispy features that resemble spectral forms. It has a combination of emission and reflection characteristics:
Emission Features: The red hue of the nebula comes from the ionization of hydrogen gas caused by the ultraviolet radiation from Gamma Cassiopeiae.
Reflection Features: The blue tones in the nebula are the result of starlight from Gamma Cassiopeiae being reflected off the surrounding dust particles.
Illuminating Star: Gamma Cassiopeiae, a massive and highly energetic Be-type star, is the primary source of radiation that influences the nebula. The intense radiation from this star causes the hydrogen gas in the nebula to glow and the dust to scatter the light.
Visibility and Observing: Cassiopeia’s Ghost Nebula is relatively faint and best observed through long-exposure astrophotography. It can be challenging to see with small telescopes but becomes more apparent with the use of filters and under dark sky conditions.
Scientific Interest: The nebula is of significant interest to astronomers studying the effects of stellar radiation on interstellar matter. It serves as an example of how nearby massive stars can shape and alter the appearance of nebulae."

The Himalayas, or Himalaya, form a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalayan range has many of the Earth's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8000m peaks. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia – Aconcagua, in the Andes – is 6,961 metres (22,838 ft) tall.
The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Himalayas are distinct from the other great ranges of central Asia, although sometimes the term Himalaya is loosely used to include the Karakoram and some of the other ranges. The Himalayas – inhabited by 52.7 million people – are spread across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Pakistan, with the first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to roughly 600 million people. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of the Indian subcontinent; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan mountain range runs, west-northwest to east-southeast, in an arc 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) long.
The Cape Bruny Lighthouse is the only Southern Tasmanian lighthouse open for tours.
The heritage-listed 1836 (First lit 1838) Cape Bruny Lighthouse towers 114m above dramatic cliff tops and coves that form this wild rugged Tasmanian coastline of Cape Bruny.
John Lee Archer, the famous architect that designed many well-known structures around the world was well ahead of his time and the iconic lighthouse he designed still stands proud today.
Delle forme particolari di aggressività vanno considerate pure l’impertinenza e l’ironia. L’ostilità si maschera con il sarcasmo; si fa intendere di non attribuire il giusto peso alle parole o si invita ad afferrare il contrario di quanto si è proferito. Il vero messaggio si nasconde sotto il tono di voce e dietro l’umorismo.

Il tabernacolo, in forma di trittico, pervenne in Galleria dopo il 1910 come deposito del convento di sant'Agnese di Perugia, dove era conservato da almeno un secolo. Non esistono fonti documentarie che possano individuare l'originaria ubicazione, tuttavia, recentemente Scarpellini ha ritenuto di localizzare il luogo di provenienza del dipinto nella chiesa templare di san Bevignate a Perugia. Lo studioso così si esprime: "Nella Presentazione al Tempio, sulla tovaglia d 'altare, spicca una croce a forcella di colore rosso che è una tipica croce templare. E la presenza di tale motivo in quella scena (ove viene rappresentato per l'appunto l'antico tempio di Salomone a Gerusalemme, cioè il luogo ove i templari si accasarono subito dopo la fondazione dell'Ordine e da cui presero il nome), non può essere una semplice coincidenza. Insomma tutto induce a pensare che il trittico venisse realizzato su commissione dei templari e che fosse originariamente destinato alla chiesa suburbana di san Bevignate di Perugia, fondata nel 1256, dove l'antico, intatto altare è di misure giuste ad accogliere l'opera". Nella letteratura locale tra Ottocento e Novecento non si coglie alcuna traccia relativa all'opera in esame (molto probabilmente perché conservata in un monastero di clarisse); la prima apparizione del tabernacolo fu nella mostra sull'antica arte umbra del 1907, dove il dipinto figura come proprietà di monsignor Marzolini; tuttavia essa era certamente nota nell'ambiente artistico locale degli ultimi due decenni del XIII secolo, essendo, la Madonna con il Bambino, citata in uno degli affreschi in san Matteo degli Armeni. La conoscenza della cultura mediorientale in particolare armena da parte di un pittore occidentale, autore del tabernacolo, potrebbe spiegarsi oltre che con la committenza templare, anche con l'influenza esercitata da alcune miniature presenti nel gruppo più antico dei corali di san Domenico, conservati presso la Biblioteca Augusta di Perugia e databili negli anni settanta. Riflessi dell'arte sinaitica vengono colti anche da Pace, che punta l'attenzione sulla colonia armena, insediatasi in san Matteo a Perugia fin dall'ottavo decennio del XIII secolo, la quale nel 1279 ricevette in dono numerosi libri dalla Cilicia. Un termine ante quem di datazione è posto da Todini che vede nella Crocifissione miniata nel messale n. 8 dell'Archivio capitolare del Duomo di Assisi, datata 1273, precisi riflessi dal cosiddetto Trittico Marzolini. Per quanto riguarda le due figure sulla fronte esterna degli sportelli, le indagini condotte in seguito al recente restauro hanno evidenziato come queste siano state dipinte più tardi e in maniera affrettata (manca l'imprimitura della tela di lino). Del resto già dal semplice confronto stilistico emergeva chiara la minor raffinatezza delle figure, rispetto alle altre parti dell'opera. A tal proposito Scarpellini nel tentativo di meglio comprendere le vicende storico-artistiche del tabernacolo, suppone che l'esecuzione di san Francesco e di santa Chiara risalga al momento del trasferimento del trittico nella chiesa di sant'Agnese, appartenente all'Ordine francescano. D'altro canto proprio nel 1307 i Francescani vennero incaricati da papa Clemente V di arrestare i Templari e di requisirne i beni: è probabile che in quell'occasione l'opera in esame subisse tali modifiche
