It was quite cold and Streifi, a resident male red squirrel, moved up to this branch in about 2 meters height, and rolled up his bushy tale to warm-up himself. Cool invention by mother nature! He sat there for several minutes nearly without moving and allowed me to come really close. The image is almost uncropped at 200mm (Squirrels-2019-7071.jpg)

it's been a while since we've had big blue skies. Today's forecast is for heavy rain possibly turning to sleet later . . .and my central heating system is making whining noises like it's about to break down . . .
Backup update: I bought a second external drive - 3 terabytes - just for my Pictures folder, which apart from all my photos, also holds the Lightroom catalogues, an absolutely essential part of the LR system.. So I will use the first external drive just for Time Machine backups of my MacBook Pro.

As fuel costs have risen dramatically over the last year; I like many others have taken to turning the heating down or off.
Its surprising how many extra layers of clothing you need when sitting in front of the computer and not moving much.
At least here in the UK its just cold as opposed to parts of the USA and Canada that are currently in the "deep freeze".
This is a piece of digital art. I photographed the pipes in Genoa last year. On the one hand, the image is intended to show the contrast between oil-stained heating pipes and the equally warming yellow sun; on the other hand, it highlights how alternative energy sources seem to remain in the background compared to fossil fuels.

There's an unwritten rule in the northern hemisphere about not running the house furnace during the month of September. And in some households, this moratorium extends even through October. Not sure where this all got started. It seems to be based on one part frugality, and three parts of folklore. But who am I to argue? It's no weirder than most of the crap I write in these posts. And it does serve to get me acclimatized to the impending season change. Indoor temperature registered 59 degrees the other morning. I just shut up and donned a fleece jacket.
Butterflies seem to thrive in the heat and humidity of August and so do the flowers they love. Determined butterfly hunters are not deterred.

Perhaps it's just me but the weather has been a bit grim here on the UK’s south coast in recent weeks. Even our central heating woke itself up from deep hibernation this week and burst into life of its own accord... in the middle of August for goodness sake!
The forecasted promise of a record breaking summer has long since evaporated, and yet again, our peak summer period has turned into somewhat of a damp squib.
Perhaps an opportune moment then to post a colourful picture from Hampshire’s Meon Valley from back in the spring when we were still looking forward to a glorious summer. This image features the same lone tree that appeared in a previous posting but from a mile or so further down the road, and at 90 degrees to the other.
Thanks as always for your interest and support.
This is the central heating boiler of Beaumesnil castle. It's an Ideal Titan Serie 3, which was on the market in 1939 (I know that because I saw a catalogue). I don't know exactly when it was installed. But it must have been around that time. It was installed by the company Valentin & Fils & Barousse when they had their office in Paris 17e arrondissement 30, Rue des Épinettes. From 1965 to 2004 an enterprise Valentin (fils?) and Barousse existed in Aubervilliers (northeast of Paris). So, back to the installation time. There is a badge with the company's name and their telephone number on the wall. The telephone number indicated, that the badge was made after 1912. We had a bit of a discussion about if it was made between 1912 and 1926 or 1912 and 1963. Maybe the Ideal Titan series 3 was brand-new in 1926? As far as the owners of the castle go: the de Maistre lived there from 1851 to 1927, Audrey Emery 1927-1937, Dimitri Pavlovitch Romanov 1937–1939 and the Fürstenbergs bought the castle in 1939. Any of them could have bought the boiler, but I guess it was the Fürstenbergs.
While visiting Maker's Mark guest bar I sat down and looked up. Sitting across the room was the bar cat resting on her heating pad. This is my view.

Exceptional presence of ST43 locomotives in passenger traffic service in summer 2004 around Jasło wasn't out of reason. If you read the story at this picture, you probably remember the sudden disappearance of all non-modernized SP32 class commencing on July 1, 2004. The impact of this fact on the locomotives inventory in the middle of summer season must have effected in increasing employment of other classes, mostly ST43s usually available in Jasło, and some SP42s, reassigned quite promptly to the Jasło depot. ST43s used to be employed mostly for heavier express trains then, usually mode demanding in terms of tractive effort requirement.
Here, ST43-345 with the express train 33501 from Gdynia Główna to Zagórz, moment after departed from Tarnowiec station. July 19, 2004.

Wyjątkowo liczne występowwanie lokomotyw ST43 na spalinowych obiegach jasielskich w lecie 2004 to nie przypadek. W opisie do tego zdjęcia przedstawiłem krótką historię końca serii niezmodernizowanych lokomotyw SP32 w Polsce. I ponieważ, zgodnie z tą historią, 1 lipca 2004 roku w zasadzie seria SP32 zniknęła ze szlaków, czymś trzeba ją było zastąpić, w szczególności w sezonie wzmożonych przewozów w rejony turystyczne, w tym okołobieszczadzkie. Oprócz sprowadzenia ilu się dało lokomotyw SP42, do pracy intensywnie wykorzystano "rumuny", głównie do prowadzenia pociągów pospiesznych, na ogół cięższych i bardziej wymagających trakcyjnie.
