Accompaniment to the previous photo upload, showing the aproach to the viewpoint at Helm Crag.
Shot with a DJI Pocket 2, no editing. A great gadget for recording walks. It has 1/1.7 inch sensor and built-in gimbal and fits in a coat pocket and weighs next to nothing. I really should use it more often. The only issues it has are quite a flat default colour profile and it is prone to wind noise (as you can hear).
Livingston Rebuild Center got the job of rebuilding GP40's for an "unknown" railroad.
Other work surrounding the unit are a Central Montana GP9 and a former ATSF GE that will be rebuilt for lease back to Burlington Northern.

From a rocky viewpoint just off the Allock Tarn path looking across Grasmere to Helm Crag catching some morning light.
A beautiful sunrise from the top of Helm crag fell with the valleys below covered in cold fog.

I got the feeling I was in for a soaking on this particular morning, but every now and then the odd slither of light traced its way across the lake at Grasmere. I decided to stick around to see if the light helped with any compositions when it hit Helm Crag, lighting it up, and the hotel below like a beacon.
After hiking in the dark for 2 hr., I arrive at the top of Mirador Base de las Torres before sunrise and wait for the first light touch the three towers.

in 2020 my first trip was to Sweden. My friend knew a person who has a farm in the north of Sweden and Lives there in a remote place with 3 kids and animals. We decided to plan a winter workshop there to get a chance to visit and photograph the children. The boy on the photo was the farm owner's youngest son Helmer. I loved the way they lived there. The kids would spend all their days riding horses and helping parents at the farm (apart from the time they were at school). I fell in love with this place. And the good news is that if you travel to the North of Sweden you can visit them as well. Just look up Backfros Grad.
Visit my group to learn about my workshops:
Helm Crag from Lake Grasmere. Allan Bank (Wordworth's former home) is nestled in the woodland on the hillside.
A line of cloud parallel to the Pennine escarpment but a little way out over the Eden Valley. An indicator that Britain's only named wind, the Helm wind, is blowing a hooley over the Pennines. Only occurs when the wind and weather are from the East.

The Helm wind wants in.
A short lived visitor to the WSOR property came in the form of HLCX 6305, still wearing its faded Morris-Knudson scheme. The engine was a shop queen and spent the better half of its time in Wisconsin getting bugs worked out of it after all the use/abuse at previous properties. Thankfully I was able to walk away with one Prairie Sub chase of this motor before it got sent down to Alabama. With student engineer RAR at the throttle, T007 clacks along at 25mph between Mazomanie and Arena, WI, with 25 empty hoppers for Muscoda. 09/05/2019
One from this morning in the Lake District.

Het helmgras grijpt zich in het zand vast
Terwijl de zee het vasteland wast
En zij, ja zij, een jurk van kant past.

This picture was taken during sunrise from the mountain helm. The dolomite mountains close to Sexten in the west are hit by the first sun beams of the day.
HLCX GP38-2 3886 leads IANR WACR East through Vinton, IA. As much as I wish IANR power was leading this train, the next two days would provide plenty of that.
In my final LotR scene Théoden and his people reach the Hornburg to find refuge from Saruman's attack. Never before got the walls of Helm's Deep defeated!
The end has come to my journey. In these 26 vignettes I put all my love for The Lord of the Rings and all my love for LEGO, making it the biggest project I ever worked on. It's been a challenge, but also an amazing experience! Thanks to everyone who was part of it by commenting and leaving a like!
I'm particularly grateful to Xenomurphy who started this collaboration and invited me to join. I will now lay the rest of The Two Towers in the capable hands of Marcel. Follow him for the epic second half!
And stay tuned for instructions of the Balrog and my own LotR Calendar 2023 soon.
We are building a LEGO Lord of the Rings vignette series:
◾Book 1: Xenomurphy
◾Book 2: Jonas Kramm
◾Book 3: Jonas Kramm
◾Book 4: Marcel V.
◾Book 5: ForlornEmpire
◾Book 6: Grant Davis
Trotz des relativ großen Verbreitungsgebiets ist das Helm-Knabenkraut in vielen Gebieten gefährdet. Wildschweine haben die Knollen als Leckerbissen entdeckt und können große Flächen auf der Suche nach den Knollen umgraben. Verbuschung und Nutzungsänderung der Biotope führt seit geraumer Zeit zur Vernichtung vieler Lebensräume. Durch die Fähigkeit Sekundärstandorte zu besiedeln, ist diese Art noch nicht so stark gefährdet wie es bei verschiedenen anderen Orchideen (z. B. Brandknabenkraut) der Fall ist.
