Montana Rail Link helpers cut out of a westbound BNSF freight at Elliston, Montana, on September 17, 2012. A member of the helper crew lines the switch back for the main as the helpers get in the clear, and he will direct the front half of the train back together with the rear portion.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.

Taken months ago before pandemic. All photos will be from my archives. I want this pandemic to end sooner than later so just doing my part and staying home. I may need a diet when this is over. Like the heron, going thru my snacks--ha, ha!
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.

Union Pacific's daily Salt Lake City - Denver manifest pulls into Helper, Utah for a crew change on Nov. 21, 2008. On the right, a set of helper engines await their next assignment.
My friend Rachel has such a wonderful relationship with Bolingo. She has spent years developing this connection. The handstand happened while they were doing their normal training exercises. This regular training allows the keepers to elicit certain behaviors in order to provide routine medical checkups and other examinations without the need to sedate them. In a perfect world none of these animals would need to be in captivity, but unfortunately the way we are destroying the natural world it may be the only way to prevent these amazing animals from going extinct. Bolingo has already fathered two children, Oliver and Enzi. This sort of world wide breeding program helps to ensure the long term survival of these animals.
I've seen a lot of awesome stuff on the MRL, but this takes the cake....
The Laurel to Pasco reported they were having issues east of Lombard and weren't sure they would make Winston Hill. The dispatcher indicated there were no helpers available to run down and no other eastbounds coming and to keep making an effort to get over the hill.
As the Helena Local was finishing their work at Townsend, the dispatcher gave them the news they would be holding at Townsend for a westbound and would follow them up the hill. This gave me enough time to go to the Townsend campground to set up my tent.
Sure enough, as the Laurel to Pasco made an attempt at the hill, they slowed to a crawl and eventually required the MRL 355 and 109 approach and start to shove. Even with the extra power, the train still struggled up the hill. Eventually a "thank you" over the radio acknowledged they made it and were ready to descend into Helena... but not until the dispatcher talked the MRL 355 into the siding behind the Pasco train to meet an empty.
On a side note, the searchlights are being replaced between Logan and Helena Most of the work is done, and it is moving fast. Just a sign of the times, and soon these trains will be BNSF... sigh.
Just a simple portrait of a three unit helper set composed of a pair of SD70ACEs bracketing an SD40-2 at about MP 117.7 on Montana Rail Link's 2nd Sub mainline on the west outskirts of the town of Livingston. The three units boosted a westbound manifest to the top of 5702 ft Bozeman Pass and cut off the rear end at Muir ten rail miles west of here. They turned right back light engine east downhill where a loaded coal train is awaiting their assistance for another run up the grades of the old Main Street of the Northwest.

A Santa Fe GP35 idles near the ATSF freight depot in Victorville, California. This helper terminal is about 25 miles below Cajon Summit in San Bernardino County.
If you look closely you can see some fine wires running from the tips of the tail planes to the mid-rear fuselage on each side. These were an early form of 'friend or foe' detection; a radio signal from them helped differentiate defending RAF aircraft from others on the crude radar screens of the time.
This aircraft has a 'c' type wing, sometimes called the 'universal' wing which had provision for up to four 20mm cannon and four 0.303 Browning machine guns, although because of weight restrictions, not all could be carried at the same time without seriously degrading the aircraft performance. It is not uncommon to see two of the cannons capped off, as here. The red tape over the machine gun ports was to prevent debris from muddy airfields being blown back into the guns from the propeller while the engine was running on the ground. Wet mud could jam the guns. Of course, the first shots would go straight through the tape.
The outer machine guns were often considered to be not all that effective - the wings would vibrate when they were firing, so an ever widening cone of bullets would issue forth reducing the effectiveness on the target. The 'e' wing, which many later Spitfires sported, was a simplified 'c' wing, had the outer four machine guns bays deleted and could carry heavier machine guns and/or cannon in the four inner bays.
Tree mushroom in Toronto
Mushrooms are actually the fruiting body of a fungus and late-warning signs that a tree is unwell. By the time there is a mushroom on the bark of the tree, the fungus has already built a network inside and is in the process of consuming the tree from within. Who is asking for help?
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends...
I would just like to extend an honest, heart-felt thank you to everyone that has been there for me over the past two weeks. Especially, Jennifer and Florian, Gwyn, Bernat and a special thanks to Jimmy, who had his Sunday school class praying for my mother. I was blown away.
I was never a big believer in technology bringing people together, or making friends over the net but damn if there isn't a whole bunch of your Flickrites that I would do anything for!
I found the above photo at the bottom of my mother's drawer while cleaning things out for the big move. My mother will be moving her bedroom downstairs, and we will be moving our apartment to the top two floors.
Who says you can never go home again.
By the way, thats me. Guessing about 4 or 5 years old. I'm messing around on my favorite jack in the bay of my father's repair shop. I still have the jack. And, yes I do occasionally ride it and jack myself up...just for the hell of it!

While negotiating a curve at Horse Creek, WY, C&S 2-10-2 902 ran into a spot of trouble. With the loco off the rails, the crew (and a few spectators) wait for some help in getting 902 back on the track. In the background are some of the dwellings that made up the town of Horse Creek.

The slogan on the bag reads "Every Little Helps" but a well placed crease is hiding the 'E' for a slogan that best matches the position I am in right now.
I'm struggling. Having to pack and downsize means losing things that are precious but not essential. It hurts. I know that I hold on to the memories but the objects related to those memories have been such an important part of my life. Having to do this on an ever decreasing time scale while getting breathless just walking up a flight of stairs still and suffering fatigue from lack of sleep. It's all a bit too much and there is not a lot that helps.
I just needed to share. It helps just a little to let it out. My head is spinning with so much to do.
I wish you all a very wonderful weekend of photography my dear Flickr friends.
Take care and take photos.
