At one of the day excursion stops, we disembarked from our ship and were whisked up the river bank via this interesting looking funicular lift. Yangtze, River, CHina
Just after sunrise a huge flock of snow geese lifts off from the Wetland Roost in the Bosque del Apache refuge.
This was one of the rare occasions when I managed to capture an egret in flight. They are graceful, and quite fast flyers.
The trio pulls 7 empty flour cars out of the spur to Barilla Pasta in Avon, NY on January 2, 2025. After leaving the empties in the siding they would shove 7 loads down to Barilla.

Schiffshebewerk Henrichenburg
Der preußische Adler prangt seit 120 Jahren hoch über dem Dortmund-Ems-Kanal an den imposanten Türmen des Schiffshebewerks Henrichenburg in Waltrop. Bis heute hat der stählerne Aufzug für Schiffe nichts von seiner Faszination eingebüßt. Er wurde gebaut, um eine 14 Meter hohe Kanalstufe zu überwinden. Über 60 Jahre lang war die Anlage in Betrieb. Heute ist das Wahrzeichen ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel mit Wasserspielplatz und Schiffstouren. Es bietet vielfältige Möglichkeiten, das Leben und die Arbeit am Wasser zu erkunden.
The Prussian eagle has been emblazoned high above the Dortmund-Ems Canal on the imposing towers of the Henrichenburg ship lift in Waltrop for 120 years. To this day, the steel elevator for ships has lost none of its fascination. It was built to overcome a 14 meter high canal step. The plant was in operation for more than 60 years. Today the landmark is a popular destination with a water playground and boat tours. It offers a variety of opportunities to explore life and work on the water.
My first attempt at an emulsion lift.

'Roid Week Autumn 2021 day 5/1.
With the camera mounted at water level, pre-focused and fired by a remote release; it’s just a case of hoping the Kingfisher either dives or emerges within your depth of focus!
US Air Force Reserve Command's Lockheed C-141C Starlifter
67-0027 from the 459th AW seen at her very dull and wet home at Andrews AFB, Maryland during the 2001 'Openhouse'
Most of the USAF's C-141A fleet of 'Lifters' were 'stretched' to B models to increase their load carrying capabilities
Later they were upgraded as C models. Those remaining were eventually retired and replaced by the C-17 Globemaster III
All Starlifters were operated by the USAF bar one which was produced as a potential civil option but was never sold as such - eventually being acquired by NASA as a flying laboratory.

watching the moving pine needle as the snail 'strode' along at a snails pace, all part of the journey on the meadow trail
It was a good idea to watch where I was stepping!
You know that feeling when the stars seem to align and yet you know that it is not meant to be?
An angel and a Mermaid, who would have thought that a love like that was possible when the only place you can meet is a thin line between the sky and the sea.
Even an Angel and a Demon has a better chance to frolic on earth, the in between of heaven and hell.
And yet, they seem to thrive...
P.S. It's always a creative explosion whenever I do a photo with Ji! Our photos always reflect our passion and completely hopeless romantic side with life and love!
Ji's so gorgeous version is on Primfeed !
Finally got around to spending some time working out the image corrections needed for printing on Polaroid B&W iType on the Polaroid Lab Printer.
Then spent some more time getting the lift process "perfected". The B&W film has a milky coating (which doesn't appear to come off) on what would be the top side which reduces contrast of the lifts. I "fixed" this by flipping my images before printing and mounting the lifts milky side down.
Very fresh prints and very hot water make the separation of Polaroid layers quite simple.
A shot at another Hennepin Canal lift bridge,this near Wyanet,IL.It would have been so cool to watch these marvels in action...
A history of the Hennepin Canal in northern Illinois....
I took this yesterday morning (Dec 3rd) as the fog was lifting with a Canon 5Dmk2.
