The Forth Bridge was opened in 1890, having been 8 years in the construction. It was started in the knowledge that, given the poor safety standards of the time, men would die in the process. At its peak, approximately 4,600 workers were employed in the bridge's construction.
As of 2009 it was recorded that 73 men lost their lives in accidents. A memorial on shore records their names and occupations.
Two new bridges have since been constructed nearby: The Forth Road Bridge and The Queensferry Crossing.
For me, this original bridge is the most 'handsome' and characterful. We visited on a late autumn evening and stayed for sunset. The gathering dusk gave a sombre and reflective mood.

"In velata fioritura" descrive uno stato di fioritura appena accennata, parziale o nascosta, dove la piena esplosione dei fiori è ancora in parte celata o sta iniziando. L'aggettivo "velata" suggerisce che la fioritura non è ancora completamente manifesta, ma si intravede, suggerendo una bellezza sottile e in divenire, come un velo che nasconde e rivela contemporaneamente.
In arte:
Può descrivere un'opera in cui i fiori sono presenti ma non sono il soggetto principale o sono rappresentati in modo meno evidente.
In senso figurato:
Può descrivere una situazione in cui qualcosa sta iniziando ad emergere, ma non si è ancora pienamente sviluppata o rivelata.
I spotted this miniature game of cat-and-mouse yesterday in the phlox patch in my back yard. I'm not sure how; these spiders are TINY, only a few millimeters, but they were pale specks against the green. As I tried to get to a good angle to photograph one, I became aware of another, and then I realized there was a hunt afoot. It seemed the larger was aware of the smaller, but I'm not sure if the smaller knew of the larger. I could see that the larger was female, but didn't get a look at the other's face, so wondered if it was a male.
I don't know the outcome of this chase, as they eventually disappeared into the growth.

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 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.
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 klassieke Čd 150 202-0 met Sp 1528 Kutná Hora hlavní nádraží-Praha hlavní nádraží bij Nová Ves u Kolína op 12-8-2024.
Deze locomotieven kwamen in 1978 in dienst. Helaas worden deze locomotieven met ingang van de nieuwe dienstregeling in december 2024 niet meer ingezet. De diensten worden vervangen door moderne treinstellen ("Regiopanters"). Van de verwante serie 151 blijven nog enkele exemplaren nog een jaar rijden en dan valt het doek ook voor die serie.

In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel
Speed along the lane
Do a ton or a ton and twenty-five
When the sun goes down
You can make it, make it good and really fine
We're no threat people, we're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we please
When the weather's fine
We go fishing or go swimming in the sea
We're always happy
Life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy
Sing along with us, dee-dee dee-dee dee
Da doo da-da da, yeah, we're hap-pap-py
Da da da, dee da doo dee da doo da doo da
Da doo da-da da, dee da da dee da da
- Mungo Jerry
When the path ignites a soul,
there's no remaining in place.
The foot touches ground,
but not for long.

An abandoned and collapsing homestead in Dacre, Ontario, Canada.
This is how it looked when I photographed it ten years ago, when taken in spring, just like the image I snapped today:
www.flickr.com/photos/hansraffelt/16837864009/in/photolis...
It is mostly obscured from the road by growth and green leaves between late spring and early autumn.
.....accoutrements.
here's the greenhouse/garden goddess flying through a tiny flowered orchid which is ready to burst with bloom.
I picked her up years and years ago. I don't know when. I don't know where. she has a bit of rust, but she's still lookin' good.
**I'm still on hiatus. I really love the evenings free.
tonight I did do some commenting.
basically I live days in the little greenhouse, and I've been spending evening trying some new origami. and reading. and hugging the dogs.
and eating pie while I watch my stomach grow. sigh...
my commenting will be off and on.
While walking near Bishop's Castle (Jan 2025). Sadler's Big Wood ahead, the Shropshire Hills in the distance.
In a surprising turn of events, CP 281 makes it's way through Pleasant Prairie, WI with NS' Wabash Heritage Unit at the head end. Shout out to the police officer who let me and a friend get this shot!
Taken in Kiama NSW.
This kestrel was perched on the corner of the gutter around our rental when we arrived. Not particularly interested in me fortunately so I was able to get a few shots in before it flew off.
Native to Australia and New Guinea, one of the smallest falcons. Like kestrels elsewhere it does not rely on speed to catch its prey. Instead, it simply perches in an exposed position, but it also has a distinctive technique of hovering over crops and grasslands.

I'm having a season of self doubt. Photography feels too hard - my mojo has gone on vacation and this time I'm not sure if it's coming back

Bornean Keeled Green Pit Viper (Tropidolaemus subannulatus) - Danum Valley, Malaysia
A Bornean keeled green viper waits for prey along the banks of the Segama River, it stayed in the same area for several days just moving a few body lengths over the course of them. I wanted to get a wide angle shot showing off the area it was in, the angles were a tad bit tricky but I'm reasonably happy with this shot. It was very rewarding not to disturb this viper and come back and see it every day for a while.

Llegasteis juntos a mi vida y os fuísteis juntos
En un trágico momento, sin posibles despedidas
Me es tan dificil concebir la vida sin ti ...
Desde allá donde estés con Duna, ayúdame a poder soportar tu pérdida
Te quiero
You arrived together in my life and you left together,
In a tragic moment, with no possible good-byes.
It's so hard for me to imagine life without you...
From wherever you are now with Duna, help me to be able to bear your loss.
I love you.
"You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub'

So come give me a hug, if you into getting rubbed"
