The Kilns were built in 1860 to roast (Calcine) the ironstone that had been mined from beneath the adacent moor. The track is an old railway line which carried the iron ore between mines and the kilns then to the factories.
These Kilns and mines cover the moors and its hard to believe how industrial the moor was in 19th century. They are now artefacts and graded buildings standing testament to the industrial revolution but once they blacked the sky and damaged the moor and wildlife. Will future generations one day look back at fracking in the same respectful manner or as a blight on the landscape.

Delaware-Lackawanna C425 2457 leads a quartet of ALCOs northward on a pleasant late Fall morning in Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley. The twin double-track through-truss bridges are reminders of past glory, when this was the Delaware and Hudson mainline and anthracite coal/bridge traffic kept the railroad busy and prosperous. Fracking sand traffic represents the bulk of the traffic on the Carbondale Line these days, with Linde operating a substantial facility in the former yard facility between Carbondale and Simpson.

Francis is a mystic for whom no intermediary comes between God and his soul. But his mysticism is that of Jesus leading his disciples to the Tabor of contemplation. When, overflooded with joy, they long to build tabernacles that they may remain on the heights and satiate themselves with the raptures of ecstasy, he says to them, “Fools, you know not what you ask.” And directing their gaze to the crowds wandering like sheep having no shepherd, he leads them back to the plain, to the midst of those who moan, who suffer, who blaspheme.

Let's be clear about the hydraulic fracturing of shale rock for gas and oil. 'Fracking' is an ecologically disastrous practice.
Unsustainable amounts of water are needed in the process, water which is then contaminated with chemicals and further contaminated following the process. This water poisons the local water table. Water, a resource which is essential for life on earth. We then have the carbon released from using any extracted gas an oil simply adding to the damage we are doing to our atmosphere. Expensive and damaging whereas renewables are cheap and reliable. Any policies that promote Fracking are policies against humanity and life on earth.
We have already triggered some feedback loops in the looming climate crisis. Some degree of the coming catastrophe is baked in already. We can, however, limit the damage to our earth, our ecosystem, but we must act now.
Our addiction to fossil fuels is killing us and all life on earth.
Climate deniers need not reply - the accredited science is irrefutable.

So same thing, was just playing with filters.
Donc la même chose, je ne faisais que jouer avec les filtres.

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go
Ho!
A westbound train of fracking sand climbs the 2% grade below Tunnel 1 on the Moffat Road. These heavy trains of sand are quite a show. This particular train was cut in two at Denver for the Rocky Mountain grades. Several years ago the Union Pacific asked me to do a large photo mural for the Denver Office building and this is the photo they selected, there is a large 6 foot tall version of this photo in the building... They asked me to fix the ugly 2nd motor :)
I posted another frame of this train previously and decided I liked this one more...Nice part about Flickr is you can do what you want :)
3 huge pools of processed fracking fluid a few miles from my dad's house. the run off from this also gave a friend of mine a rash.
this is located just behind a hill so the houses at the bottom of the image do not have a view of the pools (but the rest of the site is very visible).
Blackpool tower on the coast seen from the hill outside my village. This is my view every time I leave the village. It will be destroyed by Fracking if the government and gas and oil industry have their way. Up to 1000 well pads planned. Nightmare
I'm not exactly sure the nickname for this dynamic duo, but they sure do spend a lot of time together. The pair came down to Danville to work alongside Pan Am's DJ-1 and hauled their guts out with 41 cars (sorry, no idea empty to load ratio) which put on quite a show. Seen just souht of Lewiston Junction on final approach to the engine house.
The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government is to decide Cuadrilla’s appeals against the refusal of planning permission for fracking at two sites near Blackpool.
The news came in letters today to the company and Lancashire County Council. They said the Secretary of State, Greg Clark, would rule on the appeals, instead of a planning inspector, as had been planned.
The letter said this was because the proposals were for shale gas and were regarded as “development of major importance”. They had “more than local significance”.
The letter, signed by Mark Boulton on behalf of Mr Clark, said the appeals raised “important or novel issues of development control and/or legal difficulties”.

After being stuck in sweaty leathers for about 90 minutes in 100+ degrees, I couldn't stand it any more, so I started pouring water all over my self. June 2009.
Isn't she beautiful? She has a little white heart on her chest. Frick was finally able to successfully call her into the nesting box right before dawn & she stayed this time. Don't know where Frick stays during the day. My 1st shot of her in low level early morning light. No flash used since she was looking at me. Still no guarantees of babies but this is very encouraging.
