This huge old book was sitting on the corner of the shelf just above my desk here; I was experimenting with camera settings as I sat here, clicking away at random subjects and I kind of liked how it looked with the branches behind it.

Those cubicle-shaped rooms in those buildings look like books and the whole building looks like a bookshelf. Those rooms representing knowledge. Wings are the focal point in this picture because that is the end result, which is freedom. And with that freedom that person holds endless opportunities (sky is the limit).
I had never entered Amble before. But I knew the name. Despite having no knowledge about the place (perhaps like you have no idea what Wick is like). Passing the sign that optimistically welcomed me to the town of Amble, I passed the directions for the marina that every coastal town has to have these days. Like a council estate. And I headed towards the little fishing harbour down streets thinly populated by an 'amusement' arcade, a fish and chip shop, one or two pound shops, a currency exchange store, a couple of charity shops and some uninviting looking, aged pubs. I passed into the older part of town which so strongly reminded me of Wick in Caithness, so often the end of the world for the weary traveller who thought it would be a good idea to go all the way to John O'Groats. It was a place infested by 'dirty Wickers' and I involuntarily went into defensive mode as I travelled through Amble's streets lined by grim terraced properties. I found myself to the harbour area. A crowd of grey seagulls stood like moody football thugs on a small grassed area by the Fish Shack (on the Sea Quest) as if waiting for the end of a minute's silence for a revered player who had just died, whilst white squares of grease proof paper caught in spirals of wind amongst the huts. Some people huddled in anoraks, hoods up, as they ate wooden chips and crunchy fish at a wooden trestle table overlooking the short, steep beach. A small, black hulled fishing boat entered the estuary, momentarily disappearing into the yellow light of the low sun reflected on the water. Darcy leapt to the end of her stretchy lead to make the gulls take flight. They didn't move. She barked a happy "hello", and wagged her tail to a passing collie and owner. But they passed by, unhearing, unseeing.
Oh, I go on! It wasn't all that bad, but it definitely reminded me of Wick. Which all the way from my childhood, I thought was grim.
In fact, TripAdvisor reviews for the Fish Shack are a mixed bag of fish and chips www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g1480277-d1046882...

"Wir waren jene, die wussten, aber nicht verstanden,
voller Informationen, aber ohne Erkenntnis,
randvoll mit Wissen, aber mager an Erfahrung.
So gingen wir, von uns selbst nicht aufgehalten."
"We were those, who knew without understanding,
filled with informations but without awarness,
full to the brim with knowledge but so little experience.
So we were going on and could not stop ourselves."

Knowledge on the ecology of streams at extreme altitudes is relatively sparse. We conducted a preliminary survey of the macroinvertebrate fauna of Tibetan streams in June 2009 and August 2011 and compared streams with different water sources. We collected quantitative samples of macroinvertebrates and measured physicochemical variables at 16 sites (8 each sampling year) at altitudes ranging from 4315 to 5065 m a.s.l. and grouped the sites into 3 types according to origin: glacier-fed, rain-fed, and lake-outlets. We identified 38 taxa, with a mean of 8.9 taxa per site. Overall the benthic fauna was dominated by insects (71%), mainly Diptera (especially Chironomidae). Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera were found at nearly all sites but mostly in low numbers; however, the fauna was significantly different in the 2 sampling years, especially due to the proportions of Chironomidae (68% in June 2009 and 10% in August 2011) and Baetidae (6% vs. 35%, respectively). The 3 stream types had significantly different faunas. Rain-fed streams had the highest total taxon richness (γ-diversity), but glacier-fed streams had a slightly higher taxon turnover rate (β-diversity). Percent glacial cover in the catchment and water turbidity explained most of the variability in taxon richness. Although not particularly taxon rich compared to other high-altitude streams, the Tibetan stream fauna showed considerable spatial variability. The fast retreat of the glaciers and permanent snow fields in Tibet makes further studies on distribution patterns and driving forces for aquatic biodiversity urgent.

“Jungle stories by Jim Corbett merit as much popularity and as wide a circulation as Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books. Kipling’s Jungle Books were fiction, based on great knowledge of jungle life; Corbett’s stories are fact, and fact is often stranger than fiction.”
~M.G. Hallett (Introduction; Man-Eaters of Kumaon)
To the world, Jim Corbett is a little-known naturalist who rose to some fame in early 1900s hunting several maneaters in India’s Kumaon region. To Kumaonis, people from the densely forested Himalayan foothills of Kumaon, Jim Corbett was a savior. He was called upon on numerous occasions to alleviate terrors of man-eating tigers and leopards that roamed large regions and killed tens to hundreds of hapless men, women, and children who needed to venture into the jungle for their livelihood. To locals, Jim Corbett was not a hunter or a killer, he was their protector. Born in India of European ancestry, Jim Corbett loved the country and her people (“In my India, the India I know, there are four hundred million people, ninety percent of whom are simple, honest, brave, loyal, hard-working souls whose daily prayer to God…, is to give them security of life and of property...”; My India). Returning the love and doffing her hat to his status and posthumous influence in the region, India named her first national park after him (The Jim Corbett National Park).
Jim Corbett was also a writer extraordinaire, a fact often ignored in favor of his fame as the celebrated hunter. He hunted alone (“I have made it a hard and fast rule to go alone when hunting man-eaters, for if one’s companion is unarmed it is difficult to protect him, and if he is armed, it is even more difficult to protect oneself”), and he wrote alone producing prose that effortlessly took readers on nerve wrecking expeditions of hunting man-eaters. He shot with a long rifle and wrote in long sentences. Both his rifle and his sentences often met their targets. Take the following as an example:
"Dansay was an Irishman steeped to the crown of his head in every form of superstition, in which he had utter and complete belief, and it was therefore natural for him to tell his ghost stories in a very convincing manner. According to Dansay, a banshee was an evil female spirit that resided in dense forests and was so malignant that the mere hearing of it brought calamity to the hearer and his family, and the seeing of it death to the unfortunate beholder. Dansay described the call of a banshee as a long drawn-out scream, which was heard most frequently on dark and stormy nights. These banshee stories had a fearful fascination for me, for they had their setting in the jungles in which I loved to roam..." (Jungle Lore)
If you are not already spooked, you’re by now, at least, very curious about Dansay’s Banshee. I will let Jim tell you all about it:
"As on the evening of the storm a wind was blowing, and after I had been standing with my back to a tree for some minutes, I again heard the scream. Restraining with difficulty my impulse to run away, I stood trembling behind the tree and after the scream had been repeated a few times, I decided to creep up and have a look at the banshee. … —with my heart beating in my throat— I crept forward as slowly and as noiselessly as a Shadow, until I saw Dansay’s banshee.
In some violent storm of long ago a giant of the forest had been partly uprooted and had been prevented from crashing to the ground by falling across another and slightly smaller giant. The weight of the bigger tree had given the smaller tree a permanent bend, and when a gust of wind lifted the bigger one and then released it, it swayed back on to the supporting tree. At the point of impact the wood of both trees had died and worn as smooth as glass, and it was the friction between these two smooth surfaces that was emitting the terrifying scream. Not until I had laid the gun on the ground and climbed the leaning tree and sat on it while the scream was being repeated below me, was I satisfied that I had found the terror that was always at the back of my mind when I was alone in the jungles. From that day I date the desire I acquired of following up and getting to the bottom of every unusual thing I saw or heard in the jungles and for this I am grateful to Dansay for, by frightening me with his banshee, he started me on the compiling of many exciting and interesting jungle detective stories.” (Jungle Lore)
Locating and ‘getting to the bottom of the unusual sight’ above during our recent trip to the verdant national park, Rishabh said, ‘it looks like a scene from a videogame’. It was indeed a scene. It was Jim Corbett’s scene, which reminded me all about his Banshee and how not to be afraid of the unknown but be eagerly curious about it.

Circa 80 minuten eerder dan de geplande tijd kruist Railtraxx 266 024 met zijn 19 wagens tellende kalkslurrytrein het kanaal wat Terneuzen en Sluiskil van elkaar scheidt. Hieraan voorafgaand is de trein uitgehaald en gecombineerd bij Verbrugge in Terneuzen Zuid en zal nu via Gent Zeehaven koers zetten naar Aachen.De route hierheen zal voeren door een groot deel van België en al binnen een halfuur het Nederlandse grondgebied verlaten.
Railtraxx gebruikt momenteel maarliefst 8 Class 66 en 4 voormalig NS 6400en naast enkele verder vrij oninteressante elektrische locomotieven. De in het najaar van 2018 in Longport gereviseerde 266 001 en deze 266 024 zijn zonder meer de mooiste locs in dienst van deze Belgische vervoerder. In de loop van 2019 werd de 266 024 in exact dezelfde kleurstelling gebracht als de 266 001 waarbij zelfs de details vanuit Engelse regelgeving overgenomen zijn. Het is daarmee een prachtige verschijning geworden die als enige detail de logo's van Captrain logischerwijs niet gekregen heeft.
Dit betreft de tweede foto uit een reeks van in totaal drie foto's van deze trein waaruit opgemaakt kan worden dat na passage een geslaagde poging werd gedaan het geheel nogmaals te fotograferen. Voor deze derde opname neem ik je mee naar België. Wordt vervolgd!

Railtraxx 266 024 - Sluiskilbrug (NL) 04-07-2020.
With the knowledge Class 66 isn't used very much for shunting purposes I take every chance to catch them on lines without catenary. This time we needed to head for the far southwest part of the Netherlands, Terneuzen.
Upon arrival Railtraxx shed 266 024 (former Porterbrook leasing PB 20) was already busy putting 19 cars of limeslurry into one piece of train. After that all cars will be fully checked with a brake test as a final checkup before departure. The next task was moving the train into Terneuzen South sidings to shunt the locomotive to the other end off the train. In the meantime and after taking some pictures near the yard we moved to a highly wanted spot, the turnbridge which needed to be crossed to leave Terneuzen.
With the bridge opening for a boat and a red signal near the track we could sit back, relax and wait for departure which was planned within 90 minutes. A long time, but it should be totally worth it! Just ten minutes of waiting made the unexpected happen, the signal became clear for a train crossing the bridge!
Just about 80 minutes early on schedule Railtraxx 266 024 is seen passing the nicely blue turnbridge while heading for Aachen, Germany. Most of the trip will lead through Belgium being the only way to reach the far southwestern Dutch region called Zeeuws Vlaanderen and it's railway infrastructure. As we were able to catch up with the train a later picture taken in Belgium will follow later on!
@ Barcaldine railway station. This time of year there are so many flocks of parrots (cockatoos, corellas, galahs, blueys) everywhere you point your camera. Caught some stragglers from a large flock when taking this pic to add to the flavour of autumn in the outback - tourist season. Tree of Knowledge Monument and Comet windmill tapping into the Artesian Basin in the background.
The Spirit of the Outback has been a favourite with Australian and international travellers alike for 10 years, due to the social atmosphere onboard and the spectacular views afforded throughout the 24 hour journey.
The 1,300 km journey between Brisbane and Longreach offers a unique insight into the history and culture of early Australia.
The 'Spirit of the Outback' ventures through the heritage towns of Blackwater, Emerald and Barcaldine (home of the Worker's Heritage Centre) before arriving in Longreach, home to the famous Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, Qantas Founders Museum and the Outback Heritage Centre.
I travelled on the train as a kid and record it in different locations whenever I visit my home town - Barcaldine, Queensland. The reason is, I wonder how long the service will be supported by the Queensland Government, especially as the current rollingstock is at the end of its life.
Local knowledge can never be replaced with a guidebook, Google Earth or whatever tool you use when visiting a place for the first time. Hiring a local guide or joining a tour, is by far the most effective way to get good results from a trip. Not only will you get access to prime spots but you will also contribute to the local economy by hiring local businesses.

On this trip we had the pleasure of being shown around by my good friend @starvingphotographer who took us to this lovely looking cabin on the backroads in Skagit Valley.
