Well not that high to start with but it certainly found it's thermal and was up and away !!
I am pretty sure it is a red kite , they do come over from the Common every so often .
Former SOU High Hood GP38-2 #5194 hauls a massive cut of cars at the Lafayette East yard with two other NS EMDs right behind it (5/8/23).
A narrower field of view focussing on the main fall which has cut its way through the exposed whin sill cliff.

GLC's high bay where their drop table and crane are located is much different than it was when I was a kid. Recently GLC spray foamed the entire high bay to help insulate and keep the building warm. Until they did this the entire section of the shop was large windows that were cold drafty and not very efficient, also with the upgrade to make up for the lack of sun light they installed LED lighting. Here is what it used to look like. flic.kr/p/s7ACNQ
Norfolk Southern local V30 , an EMD GP 38-2 (High Hood) crossing the Kanawha Canal Drawbridge at Richmond, VA on its way back to yard office after dropping off cars at the local Coca Cola plant.
A man digging clams at Ocean Beach. He watched to see when there was a lull in the large waves, and he was careful not to turn his back to the waves.
This was an unusual day at the beach with a combination of sunny warm temperatures, low wind, and high surf. Further south, the waves at Mavericks attracted surfers from Southern California and Hawaii, who said it was the best conditions they could remember, with offshore waves breaking at 50-60 ft (15-18 m). It has been a long time since I have seen waves this good at Ocean Beach.
Hope you have a good weekend ahead! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your support -- I greatly appreciate it.
Take extra care to stay safe.

NS 3322 is leading NS 303 west out of Bellevue on a beautiful April day. A wet Spring has left this farm field flooded creating a temporary lake that the local waterfowl and railfans alike have been taking advantage of.

The Lancaster and Chester Railway moves the first cut of an ADM grain train east near Lancaster, SC. Leading the train is one of 3 remaining blue engines on the roster, high-hood GP38AC #2866. With the G&O's acquisition of the L&C slowly but surely G&O black engines have started to show up, and more recently new repaints have been getting a fresh coat of black as opposed to the classic baby blue. A sad sight for sure, but the good news is the L&C is growing like crazy and seems poised to only get busier...

It's winter on the high plains, and although it hasn't snowed for several days, the evidence of it can be seen in the roadside gutters.
The immediate thought is .. where's it gone?
Here's how it came to be .. with a rather nice picture too!

Although this male looks dark when sitting he would be classified as an Intermediate morph, brown bibbed type. This is the same hawk as yesterday's post. I will include several follow up photos of their young as the nest was low enough for me to use my telephoto lens and document them.
This was the morning before an incoming summer storm. It rained that night, hard at times, from 7pm until nearly noon the next day. in the high wind, heavy rain and hail, the tent was soaked. Even having dug trenches around the tent, the entire ground in the area became wet and water was soaking through the waterproof floor of the tent. Ground pads were becoming wet. Down bags were next. It was cold there at over 10,000 feet, we decided not to spend a night wet. A brief break in the storm before the next wave provided a break to dump the food in our backs to stuff the wet tent in the bear canister, and we quickly hiked out.
The forecast before our trip wasn't that bad, but it turned out that July 19-20, 2015 produced a record summer storm for Southern California: there was lots of flooding in the Los Angeles area. It was unfortunate that we had to cut our backpacking trip short, but sometimes you have to adapt to the conditions. At least we didn't have a couple of feet of snow on the ground, as can happen in the fall with unexpectedly strong storms!

Five final shots of a sky filled with swallows. The interesting thing is that after the photomerge, the program removed half of the swallows, so I had to go back to the original shots and re paste the birds into layers :-) It must be said that when doing this I did enlarge two, to give the photo a hint of drama to its space...

Surprised and somewhat disappointed that this loses so much contrast and dynamic range in the drag and drop from Apple Photos to Flickr. Need to investigate that when I have time.
Happy Mono Monday!
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things....

Taken while out tramping in the Kennebec Highlands, Maine. Not sure which town I was in. I plan to spend more time exploring the Highlands, and I'll bring a GPS next time. The old logging roads, hiking trails, and snowmobile trails are numerous, winding, and in many cases, unsigned.

The Regen is a river in Bavaria, Germany, and a left tributary of the Danube, at Regensburg, Germany. The source of its main headstream, the Großer Regen ("Big Regen"), is in the Bohemian Forest on the territory of the Czech Republic, near Železná Ruda. The river crosses the border after a few kilometres, at Bayerisch Eisenstein. The name in German evolved from the name in Latin, but its meaning is unknown.
At Zwiesel, the Großer Regen is joined by the Kleiner Regen ("Little Regen") to form the Schwarzer Regen ("Black Regen"). The Schwarzer Regen flows through Regen and Viechtach, and is joined by the Weißer Regen ("White Regen") in Kötzting. Beyond this confluence, the river is called Regen. The river's total length, including its headstreams Großer Regen and Schwarzer Regen, is 169 kilometres (105 mi).
The Regen Valley forms the main valley crossing the Bavarian Forest; many settlements within the mountains are located along the river. Cities along the Regen river include Cham and Regensburg.
This shot was taken near the small village of Nittenau. Here the Regen is flowing quite slowly because of a hydroelectric power station at Stefling.
