April can be many things up here and even though most places are well into spring we often are not. Lake States train 11 has arrived at Trout Lake with 43 cars on April 3, 1987 and one member of the crew struggles to get a switch on the right so 715 and 2405 can start to work there set out while the Trout Lake MOW crew is on the left heading over to clean switches on that side of the yard. Shooting on snow with such a bright spring sun was truly a bit of a challenge and I should have went up an f-stop from normal but Lightroom fixed my error with a minimum of fuss. It's Thirty Thursday!
In oktober werd er van de zonmomenten geprofiteerd. Eén van deze dagen met mogelijk een streep zon was 16 oktober. Na de arbeid richting Ekeren met ons treinvangnetje in de hoop iets mooi te vangen.
Hoewel het eerst bewolkt was, besloot de zon uitzonderlijk toch te gehoorzamen aan de weersvoorspelling van de dag.
Naast wat losse flodders, passeerden er ook volwaardige treinen. Eén van de mooiste combinaties was deze Medway 'It's a match' met containertrein waarvan het eerste deel uniform was beladen met gele MSC containers.
Its always a real challenge shooting in to the sun directly. Sunset taken on lancing Ring. West sussex looking over to Cissbury Ring.
Its Jan 1976 were at Bensenville IL with Milwaukee Road's Bicentennial SD-40 standing next to Erie SDP-45
Its cold outside but these guys are dressed for the frigid weather (and I was too while snapping shots on this 19-degree Sunday afternoon). Fortunately, firearms and granola bars will provide comfort in this endless polar desert.
Its always nice to find a unique photo position at big heritage events. After about an hour of waging war on the fast growing vegetation, I was able to just barely photograph 23 058 climbing the famed Geislinger Steige. Even with the camera held over my head a few annoying green leads remain but that was more than enough gardening for the day. A big thanks to the Ulmer Eisenbahnfreunden for the great event!
Es ist immer schön ein einzigartige Fotostelle bei Großveranstaltungen zu finden. Nach ein gute stunde in Kampf gegen der schnell gewaschenen Umkraut und Büsche, konnte ich mit Kamera hoch gehalten der 23 058 auf der erste Pendelfahrt des Tag erwischen. Ein paar grünen Ärgernisse bleibt aber das war genügend Gartenarbeit für der Tag. Danke an der UEF für der tolle Veranstaltung! Geislingen an der Stiege 09.07.22
If its overcast in LA & there's no sunset at Santa Monica you can always have fun with blue hour reflections in the sand
Thanks to Everyone who took the trouble to view, comment or fave.
Its 21:50 in the evening and the last golden light of another endless Estonian summer evening glints off the side of a empty oil train as it enters the siding at Tamsalu station. Behind me a loaded train awaits the signal with two C36-7s bound for Muuga Harbor.
Food for thought, a really interesting article in the New York Times with big and true questions, an interesting read!

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
Its July 1977 we are on top of Roosevelt bridge with a inbound rush hour train heading into La Salle st station with E-7 and a F-unit with a mix of Rock Island Bi level cars and Amtrak cars
So this aged beyond its years VW Bus is just what I slept in when I attended the very first Woodstock Music Festival in upstate New York. Kept me dry from all the rain and mud that weekend.
Shot in Western Massachusetts off the side of a side road, as Arlo would say. Olympus E-5, Sigma 30mm 1.4f.
Well its the summer holidays so trying to juggle a gazillion things at the minute. My apologies as it has meant I have had little time for Flickr and commenting. I did manage to sneak out for a few hours at the weekend to photography this amazing staircase. I have three weeks off in August so should have a bit more time then to get round to you all.
Hope you are having a great week! :-)
Its almost spring again... as January creeps to an end.. we only have a few months before it all becomes green...
See you again Snow.

After waiting weeks for some snowfall, the skies opened, then stopped, one hour later it was gone. Oh well there's always next time.
A part of American history and local folklore meet at Singer Castle on Dark Island, located on the St. Lawrence River. Singer Castle is the only remaining/existing castle on our river to be completed, fully furnished and resided in during the heyday of the great builders and industrials in New York. Calumet and Castle Rest (Pullman) were both completed and lived in. (And both were prior to Towers.) The Castle remained in the possession of the original owners, the Bourne family, from its construction in 1905 until the mid 1960’s. Frederick Bourne was the fifth President of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, which is where the name “Singer Castle” came from. When the Bourne family summered there, it was called “The Towers” which comes from the inspiration that Ernest Flagg, the architect whom designed this structure, had after reading the book Woodstock by Sir Walter Scott.
Its interesting that 2 very cool midwestern grain haulers move big tonnage on rails left behind by those of the Wabash. One that I've rarely seen in recent years is Illinois fave The Bloomer Line, run by Alliance Grain Company. Here they assemble cars at Strawn, IL after coming east from elevators west of Risk, IL. Old pole lines and a few random block signals still litter this old route of the Cannonball.
Thanks for the comments, faves and visits
Captured in stunning detail, these vibrant daylilies (Hemerocallis) showcase nature's artistry at its finest. The rich crimson petals, adorned with delicate water droplets, create a mesmerizing contrast against the lush green foliage. The intricate ruffled edges of the petals and the golden-yellow throats of the flowers add depth and interest to the composition. This close-up view allows us to appreciate the subtle variations in color and texture, from the velvety petals to the slender stamens reaching out from the heart of each bloom. A testament to the fleeting beauty of these flowers, which typically last for just a single day, this image serves as a reminder to pause and admire the ephemeral wonders that surround us in the garden.
