Wycoller Hall was a late sixteenth century manor house in the village of Wycoller, Lancashire, England. The hall was the centre of a sizable estate but subsequently fell into disrepair. The ruins are now listed, and form part of Wycoller Country Park.
While not surprised, I was saddened last week when it was announced that the BNSF would acquire the Montana Rail Link (MRL). I made a few trips to visit the railroad, usually with Mike Danneman, and quickly became a fan. The big attractions were vintage locomotives, friendly employees and superb scenery.

This time, the reason I'm 'staying local' is that I only have quarter of a tank of petrol which I need to save as I'll need it during the week. We didn't have a fuel shortage in the UK earlier this week, but because the media decided we did, people who didn't really need any fuel panic-bought it all. Most of the petrol stations near me have been closed since Friday because they ran out. Annoyingly, my nearest one is just round the corner from Ipswich Hospital and I regularly see ambulances filling up there, and now they can’t. I'm assuming the emergency services have special arrangements for getting fuel in situations like this, but why should they have to just because of 'people'?! It's like the toilet paper all over again but worse.
So yes, I had planned to go a bit further afield this weekend but settled for a walk locally, and I was excited to see some new bales in my local farm fields. The fields looked beautiful bathed in the evening (‘evening’ now being 5.30pm!) sunlight. I think a photography judge would prefer to see those pylons and cables on the horizon cloned out, but as they are are a permanent part of the landscape, and I’ve already cloned out 2 dog poo bags and various insects, they are staying!
Onwards and upwards for a brand new week tomorrow :)
Just down the road from here there’s a nice size farm where we pass by daily. This “Local Horse Pasture” like many others in Pennsylvania is a great piece of land. We like to watch horses graze and hope they come close enough for us take a picture or two, but not today. Whether in fog, or snow, sunrise or sunset this pasture is great place to visit. A peaceful place to spend even just a few minutes in quiet to just watch the horses graze and pose for me and my Apple phone camera.
Stay safe, be kind and please wear your mask.
NS local C46 out of Norfolk Southern's Pitcairn Yard and intermodal terminal sits amongst the shining gold ginkgo (pronounced ging-kho) trees that line both sides of the 4 track trench. They are stopped waiting on a signal at CP-PENN to proceed into Island Avenue yard to make their set outs and pick ups to take back to Pitcairn with them. On the east end of the train was 1 of the 2 pairs of NS GP33ECO's that are assigned to the Pittsburgh area to improve air quality and reduce emissions.
These trees are just a small part of Pittsburgh's beautiful Allegheny Commons Park West that is located just a block or 2 away from both the Pittsburgh Pirate's PNC Park and the Pittsburgh Steelers Heinz Field. Traditonally these leaves are always some of the last, if not the very last in the city to change before the winter arrives.
Oddly enough this year, they are not despite reaching their prime peak about 2 weeks later than usual. Some parts of the city still actually have green leaves on the trees as of November 23rd...and it's 1 day until Thanksgiving! Absolutely insanity. I've never seen anything like this before.
If you enlarge this photograph you might catch a glimpse of the local superhero doing a quick change in the phonebox. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's Supertelephonist!
These red telephone boxes are very rare now, but you see plenty of rare things in historical Ross in Tasmania's Midlands. Both these boxes a fully operational (and on standby for superheroes or even a wannbe Dr Who). The box on the left is a fascinating way to tell local history. Open the door, go inside and dial up a story. Did you see the operator looking out at us?

Behind a pair of NS SD60E's, thee local is slightly overpowered as it makes its way through Arcadia.

I ended up in a small village, very English, with its safety, its predictability, its traditions (some old, but mostly pretty recent) and its provinciality. I am one of the "incomers" (most of the villagers actually are), a stranger and, being cosmopolitan too, I am perhaps regarded with polite suspicion. You cannot have it all. There is one High Street and, up Wesley Road, is the Methodist church. The Anglicans and Baptists are here too; and so are the New Age Spiritualists, but the overwhelming denomination is the secular one. There is no mental space here for Christian Agnostics. You cannot have it all. But you can live here in the safety of the village. They accept a couple of eccentrics.

A lone CN Geep leads a four-car passenger train over the viaduct at Bellevue, Ont., on Sept. 20, 2010. This train feels a bit forlorn when you look at the Algoma Central Fs that ruled just over a decade earlier up here. But this government-supported Sault Ste. Marie-Hearst train is no more, and the scenery is pretty good, so I count myself fortunate to have caught it.
Soon our local woods and fields will be covered in yellow and gold once again, Spring is just around the corner!!
