The Strates Show is on the move again, snaking across the switches on its way out of Harrisburg Yard after stopping for a new crew. The carnival train is the last of its kind after the end of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus ceased operations earlier in the year. Ancient circus flats are still getting the job done, with trucks and ride equipment lashed to the decks for a ride from Vermont to Virginia.

This is a close visual approximation of what it felt like driving home at 3AM after a show in Manhattan. I had taken the Merritt Parkway, then gotten off for gas..and got terribly lost in the Westport are, where they apparently don't believe in gaudy accoutrements such as streetlights. I felt like I was hallucinating, and saw eight deer and three turkeys on top of it all.
I wondered what I would ever do with all the old floppy discs. Knew they would be good for something!!!!

These were some distant snow defenses right on the north coast of Hokkaido near to Wakkani, I decided to clime quite a slippery embankment and got this composition courtesy of my trust 70-200 lens at 200 mm coming back down was considerably easier and a lot more fun:-)
When you get tired of looking at old stuff in old buildings, sometimes the tourists/visitors become more interesting.
I had a great laugh taking this one--these people seemed to have no idea I was photographing them. I stood smack in front, almost waiting for someone to reprimand me, and aimed straight at them but they probably thought I was photographing the architectural details.
ETA: Distortion corrected. Many thanks to Dave and Ken!
Built on a disused rail corridor, The Goods Line in Ultimo is Sydney’s equivalent of Manhattan’s High Line – a strategic pedestrian connection through unique green spaces in the inner city.
Extending from the end of Central Station’s Devonshire St Tunnel to Darling Harbour, The Goods Line links key landmarks along the ‘cultural ribbon’ on the southern fringe of the Sydney CBD. These landmarks include UTS, Chinatown, the Powerhouse Museum and the ABC.
Each week thousands of university students, workers, visitors and local residents make use of the elevated city park, which offers a variety of leafy and relaxed outdoor environments along the route through the UTS campus between Central Station and Darling Harbour.

SCXY 1326 and 1325 head south through Pine City with 40 cars, finding one of only a handful of curves along the route. While the Skally Line is mostly a bike trail now, the SCXY and MNNR give it a little bit of life a few times a week at a blistering 10mph.
Cityview Plaza. Downtown San Jose, April 2017. It's such a simple shot, but it took a while for it to come together. I stood in the middle of an empty square, trying not to look like a weirdo, while I waited for the right sized plane with the right flight path to come through. Shot with Fujifilm XPro2 and 18-55mm f2.8-4 lens in Acros.
PHOTO ESSAY: DOWNTOWN
This photo showcases the dark green base of Te Mata Peak anchoring the composition in the bottom left corner. A multitude of bare trees stretching diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right, create a natural buffer from the thick fog that covers the Tukituki valley below. The barren trees seem to form a protective line, guarding the sleeping giant (look up the legend of Te Mata Peak) from the enveloping fog.

Arawacus leucogyna FELDER & FELDER, 1865
(Narrow-lined Hairstreak / Tecla rayada)
Arawacus leucogyna is distributed from Belize to Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. This species is found in forest edge habitats. Males perch on the foliage of shrubs and saplings at trail intersections. Forewing: 16 mm.
There are 18 species of Arawacus, all confined to the neotropical region. All have a similar pattern of brown or black stripes radiating from the tornus of the hindwing and terminating at points along the forewing costa.
The pattern serves to divert the eye of birds away from the butterfly's head and body, and towards the 'false antennae' tails. Immediately after settling, the butterfly characteristically gyrates to face in the opposite direction and dips its head. It then slowly oscillates the hindwings, causing the tails to wiggle, which further acts to focus the observer's attention on the rear of the butterfly.

These people are in line for cotton candy at the Jaker's Pumpkin Patch in Springville, Utah. Something like a carnival atmosphere at the pumpkin patch.

The conga line is a novelty dance that was derived from the Cuban carnival dance of the same name and became popular in the US in the 1930s and 1950s.
