For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: "In Ice".
HMM!
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
In de zomer van 2024 konden we wederom van het schitterende vakantieland Tsjechië genieten. Onze dochter heeft een grote voorkeur voor dit land en dan komt het helemaal niet slecht uit dat de vader een groot liefhebber van Tsjechische treinen is. Zwemmen bij het zomerhuisje en uitjes werden afgewisseld met korte en wat langere treinentripjes in de buurt.
Op ruim vijftig minuten rijden vanaf ons vakantiehuisje is de stek bij Nová Ves u Kolína aan de hoofdlijn Praha-Kolín te vinden. Qua goederentreinen is deze lijn wat rustiger dan de nabijgelegen hoofdlijn Nymburk-Lysá nad Labem, maar qua reizigersverkeer is dit een zeer interessante lijn met veel afwisseling. Ondanks de inmiddels gangbare en overheersende Najbrt-kleurstelling komen er nog best veel kleurrijke treinen voorbij. Daarnaast werden er in de dikke twee uren dat ik er stond nog drie goederentreinen meegepakt.
Je moet niet heel prikkelgevoelig zijn, want je staat op deze plek wel vlakbij een zeer druk bereden weg waar niet bepaald langzaam wordt gereden. Daardoor werden de treinen qua geluid flinkt overstemt door het autoverkeer. Verder kun je in augustus en later helaas na zeven uur hier geen foto meer nemen in verband met de schaduwen van het viaduct (en voorbereidende vrachtwagens) op het spoor.
Hier zien we de fraaie CT-train 193 442 met Regiojet 1014 Havířov -Praha hlavní nádraží bij Nová Ves u Kolína op 6-8-2024. Deze mooie locmotief wordt (tijdelijk) gehuurd door Regiojet om de omloop, die normaal uit 162's en 388's bestaat, sluitend te krijgen.
In freezing conditions, the driver applies some power as 66168 passes Elmswell in charge of the 6L40 04.52 Mountsorrel Sdgs - Barham loaded stone on Saturday 22 January 2022. Pole shot.
My contribution to the 12.12 Project (instant photography collective) for June 2019. Our theme is la joie de vivre, which, for me is present in quiet moments, in intimacy, in the flowering of the plants on my balcony, in a beautifully written story....
(He speaks and the sound of His voice)
(Is so sweet the birds hush their singing)
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known.....
C. Austin Miles(1912)
The beautiful country church near tiny Loran,IL. has not one,but two cemeteries. The rural setting in the valleys and hills makes for a beautiful setting for one's eternal rest....
My favorite renedition of this classic hymn,written in a basement during a rainstorm in 1912....
Joey+Rory were a popular country duo.Joey lost her battle with cancer 2 years ago, so to see her singing this song takes on even more meaning....
Artwork in Chatt.,Tn. This guy is a football fish. Who knew? I didn't. I had to google him. I thought it was a piranha with a built in flashlight. :-)
Happy Wall Wednesday!

The yellow mongoose (Cynictis penicillata), sometimes referred to as the red meerkat, averages about 0.45 kg in weight and about 510 mm in length.
It lives in open country, semi-desert scrubland and grasslands in Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe.
De vosmangoest of rode meerkat (Cynictis penicillata) is ondanks zijn gelijkenis daarmee geen vos, maar een mangoest.
De pelskleur verschilt per verspreidingsgebied. Zuidelijke soorten hebben een geelkleurige vacht terwijl noordelijke soorten een grijskleurige vacht hebben. De korte ronde oren en de dikke staart versterken de gelijkenis met de vos.
De lichaamslengte bedraagt 40 cm. De staartlengte is 30 cm.
De vosmangoest leeft in zuidelijk Afrika in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibië, Zuid-Afrika, Swaziland en Zimbabwe en wordt vaak vergezeld door stokstaartjes.
Deze foto is gemaakt in Ouwehands Dierenpark in Rhenen.

Regno Unito, Londra, City of London, Inverno 2020
La City di Londra è un quartiere della “Grande Londra”. La City costituiva la maggior parte di Londra al tempo dei Romani nel 1 ° secolo dC e fino al Medioevo, ma sucessivamente Londra è cresciuta ben oltre i suoi confini. Ora è solo una piccola parte della metropoli, anche se rimane una delle parti più importanti di Londra. E' anche definita “il miglio quadrato” (2,90 km2). Con il termine Londra oggi ci si riferisce alla “grande Londra” una regione che comprende 32 distretti (tra cui la City of Westminster). La City è oggi il principale centro della finanziario a livello mondiale. Ha una popolazione residente di circa 7.000 abitanti, ma più di 300.000 pendolari si spostano qui ogni giorno per lavoro.
The City of London is a district of Greater London. The City constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the conurbation has since grown far beyond its borders. It is now only a tiny part of the metropolis, though it remains a notable part of central London. It is often referred to as the City or the Square Mile, as it is just over one square mile (2.90 km2) in area. The term London now refers to a much larger conurbation roughly corresponding to the London region, which is also known as the Greater London administrative area, of 32 boroughs (including the City of Westminster), in addition to the City of London. The City is today a major business and financial centre, ranking as the leading centre of global finance. The City has a resident population of about 7,000 but over 300,000 people commute everyday to work there.

SU45-194 with special event train 15201 "Rezerwat" from Kutno to Laskowice Pomorskie departs from Lniano passenger stop. The even surface of the area and clearly visible wooden-top water tower in the background indicate that there was a full size station here. June 3, 2021.

SU45-194 z pociągiem specjalnym 15201 "Rezerwat" z Kutna do Laskowic Pomorskich odjeżdża z przystanku osobowego Lniano. Bez wątpienioa była to kiedyś stacja, o czym świadczy rozległa równia oraz widoczna między drzewami w tle wieża wodna z ładnym drewnianym szczytem.
Dla polskich czytelników nieco wyjaśnienia z relacją i nazwą pociągu. Turkol swoje pociągi nazywa handlowo wedle relacji, które sprzedaje i taką nazwę pociągu tu zacytowałem. Natomiast formalnie, wedle zamówienia trasy w PLK, numer pociągu i relacja była o wiele dłuższa, niż handlowy odcinek sprzedawany przez organizatora. Ponieważ w systemie PLK nie można łamać naazw pociągów, więc tam istnieje na całej długości nazwa "Spichlerz" - czyli nazwa, pod którą był sprzedawany pierwszy odcinek.

This photo is from Marado [Mara Island]. Marado represents the southernmost point in South Korean territory. The island is about 30km from the southern port of Jeju and the trip by ferry took about 15-20 minutes. The island is comparatively small (approximately 0.3 square kilometers) and you can walk around its entirety at a leisurely pace in about 90 minutes. Marado is home to about 90 residents and "…has long been known for its population being composed of strong women and docile men." (Wiki). While there, we saw traditional "haenyeo" women divers actively working at their trade of free diving to gather seafood.
Sakuma (佐久間) is a riverside community in Hamamatsu bordering on Toyone village (豊根村) municipality in Aichi prefecture. Sakuma Dam was constructed a few km upstream.
After an unusually cold April some of the tulips fields are late to bloom but no less spectacular, especially on a cloudy morning.
Tulips apposed to a popular song are not from Amsterdam ;-) but they certainly do come from Lisse ... tulpen uit amsterdam song
The Big Maple Plain (1216 m) is located in the middle of the Alpine Park Karwendel on the Eng Alp in Tyrol, Austria and can be reached only via Upper Bavaria.
The Eng Alp is the biggest alpine pasture of Europe. Here everybody can see how farmers are important for taking care of the landscape. Thanks to their constant care and a regular use of the alpine pastures the big Ahornboden (Maple Plain) can be maintained in perfect conditions. In summer almost 500 cows graze on this alpine pasture and some of the maples are older than 500 years. This splendid tree is one of my most favourite.
IN THE MORNING AROUND MY HOUSE is the topic for Saturday, November 14, 2020
My home may be different than yours but you probably do the same thing as me. Flickr & Coffee.
The other week, I was on a stroll on a rather summery March day, when a rose bush covered in blooms in multiple colours caught my eye so much that I had to cross a busy road to take a closer look at it. The single bush was displaying roses in shades of pale yellow with pink edges, vibrant pink, carmine and orange. Luckily I had my camera with me, as I usually do in case I see something I like, and I photographed some of the blooms. Whilst I was doing so, the owner returned home from shopping. We chatted and I asked her what variety it was. She said that she didn’t know, but that it had been part of the garden when she bought the house some two decades ago. After doing a bit of research, I think it might be a Desert Peace rose.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” is “Flowers in March”, where any flower is welcome, so long as the photo was taken in March. Luckily in Melbourne, there are often Indian Summer days that stretch into March, and there are always flowers in gardens. I could have chosen any flowers, but I chose this one in particular for its beauty, and because I saw it on the 16th of March, which was the day I saw the theme in the discussion thread. This week’s theme is also in honour of “Smile on Saturday” member, Marcy Schrum, who passed away in December last year. She liked beautiful flowers, so I hope she would have liked it and that it makes a fitting tribute. I hope that you like it too, that it brightens your Saturday and makes you smile.
The “Desert Peace” rose is a hybrid tea rose with yellow blend blooms, with pink edges. It was produced by Meilland International in France in 1991.
All I can say is I had loads of fun doing this one. I must have lost myself for hours as I tried different lighting, line-ups etc and this is the one I was most pleased with.

Saw this guy sitting in the willows, and initially there was too much in the way to photograph him. A few minutes later, something spooked him (likely dogs barking in the distance), and he got up and headed out of the willows but only stood long enough for me to capture this shot before sitting down again right out in the open.
Happy Friday!!! Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
From a drive in the countryside. I pulled over and actually shot this from the car. Getting a bit lazy, huh...

A comment will make my day, icons/banners/images will not!
I am at a hotel outside of Seattle, for a mini-vacation. I can't imagine with the hotel staff with think when they look up and see this bright green, cantaloupe sized thingy in my window on a towel cushion (so it can't roll off the sill.)
I found it in one of my favorite garden nurseries, in a dark corner where everything was glowing under black lights. Supposedly, if left in the sun, it will glow in the dark after I hang it on my porch. My hummingbirds will probably freak out! I am going to leave it sitting in the hotel window all day tomorrow, while I run around, and see the sights. Maybe it will light up the hotel room tomorrow night :)))) One can only hope for such cheap thrills!
Getting Swallows in flight is a challenge for me. I shoot in their general direction taking aim as best I can, hoping for the best. Sometimes my hopes are realized!!!
