Oversize load transport equipment parked at the "Olympia-Schiessanlange" in Garching. "Action" shots to follow, stay tuned...

The thing is called a "Kesselbrücke", works basically like a Schnabel car on a railway, the main difference is that the load is vertically adjustable to pass over or under obstacles. Another difference - the load is placed on a dedicated platform between the two halves of the vehicle, therefore the load does not need to have the mechanical stiffness to bear its own weight (loads on Schnabel cars must be stiff).

Total length is 96 m, it has total 34 axles (count them if you wish...).

The load is a 210 t heavy gas turbine for the Heizkraftwerk Süd power station in the south of Munich.

A couple of Station Porters begin loading some of the parcels. It looks as if its going to be a slow process at this point in time!

Both vessels loading at Garrucha Port.

Both are Bulk Carriers loading with Gypsum mined locally at Sorbas. It is delivered to the port by fleets of articulated tipper lorries.

Millions of tonnes of Gypsum are exported annually.

There are always two bulk carriers loading.

Hello Everyone,

Macro Mondays is a weekly theme-based challenge group. This week's challenge was "Forks."

The antique cocktail forks measure at just under the 3" maximum. Many gherkins were eaten in the making of this image! ):0 Happy Macro Mondays! HMM!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!

Have a wonderful day and week ahead!

They are loading logs on this barge. They start on one end and work their way back.

A Canadian National coal train prepares to load at Teck’s Luscar Mine near Cadomin, Alberta, on August 8, 2016. When arriving at the loader, the train pulls completely through it, allowing the loadout operator to fully inspect the empty cars for contaminates. The train then backs down and begins the loading process with the first car behind the power. This loadout and processing plant is part of Teck’s Cardinal River Operation and is located on a line operating out of Leyland called the Luscar Industrial Spur. This particular train is the third section of 50 cars (of a 150-car train) to load at Luscar, and the reason for this is the steep 3% grades on the 5.5-mile Luscar Industrial Spur out of Leyland.

Have a great truck Thursday all!

Yet another picture of my DIY square aperture experiment. Since the square bokeh looks pretty nervous I've tried to frame the marguerite with the darker and smoother part of the bokeh. I've chosen this title since images often look pixelated while being loaded, where the bokeh-squares look to me like big pixels. Hope you like it! HBW!

Not been that happy with my macro raindrops recently. As there were loads around this morning I practised.

Comments + welcome.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)

BLOL 7591 (ex NP GP9) & BLOL 7504 (original IC GP9, now a GP10) loading grain cars for the CN up in Charolette, IL. This was back in 2017 when it seemed to be easier to catch matching set of Bloomer power & catch bigger trains. Still to this day, I love shooting these guys.

Nice load of grub.

Storefront of the Kranhaus ("crane house"), a 17-story buildings in the Rheinauhafen of Cologne/Germany. Its shape, an upside-down "L", is reminiscent of the harbor cranes that were used to load cargo off and on to ships. The building is approx. 62 meters in height and is designed by Aachen architect Alfons Linster and Hamburg-based Hadi Teherani of BRT Architekten. (see Wikipedia)

Still hungry for some trains, we continued to Zeebrugge, hoping to still catch the HSL car train to Germany. We were late though, but there were still some class 66 locos roaming around. We caught RTBC's PB 14 with a car train at the north end of the Pelikaan yard.

During my 2017 visit back home to Colorado I had some time to spend along the Jointline. It had been a number of years since I had visited and I definitely noticed some changes. Such as this bridge across the tracks in Sedalia, a nice addition for sure. BNSF coal loads climb towards the summit of the Palmer Divide at Palmer Lake. The SD70Ace was a nice bonus.
