Have been looking at some of this years files,and found some sky moods that have not been worked.This was already mostly B&W so I have worked on it as a B&W.
This guy takes a stroll between spots pretty much every day. :D Among people! It's a fun thing to witness, that's for sure, hehe.
Here's a better view of the amazing paintings down on a local shop by My Dog Sighs.

Several dozen horses roam in this field in Grand Teton National Park - a few came by to say hello :)

This is a Sagebrush Sparrow, mostly found east of California, but it does look very much like a Bell's Sparrow. Another birder found it in advance of the annual Carrizo Plain Christmas bird count, and it stuck around for count day, for which I'm grateful
4th May 2015 - A quick shot from Pier Head of the old Bank of England building.
For over a week now the “Love Activists” squatting group has been occupying the Bank of England building on Castle Street in the centre of Liverpool. They have opened the old bank as a space for the homeless with kitchen, sleeping space etc. They are expecting eviction, and recently (29 April) large numbers of police arrived at the building in what looked set to be an attack on the squat. However, after harassing people outside and issuing a dispersal order, most of the cops left. Up to now, the building remains occupied. For more information and updates see the occupiers’ facebook page. Below we repost a statement of demands from the group, via squat.net.
We make this document a Statement of Intent regarding the old Bank of England building on Castle Street, Liverpool. The intentions are as follows to feed, cloth and help all those who seek it and for the local community to help resource this project.
We intend to use this building for the community, to inspire a feeling of community, which is lacking.
We do this in direct response to a local council and government who are lacking in their efforts to help those in need and in fact, the local Council and government seem intent on making matters worse for the people by putting more and more austerity measures in place.
We wish by the direct action of occupying an empty unused building and using said building to provide certain needs for the street people or for that matter anyone else who needs to use what is provided by donations, which come from the local community.
We intend to live in peace and harmony with our local community and will resolve any issues which are brought to our attention.

@Love Activists (Liverpool) former Bank of England.
Our demands are as follows:
1. We demand Mayor Joe Anderson meets with us before the end of this week
2. We demand the Merseyside Labour councils and Joe Anderson Mayor rejects the cuts and says no to austerity and no to the cuts. We are suffering ‘Enuf is Enuf’ – we and they need sanctuary.
3. We demand all of the homeless we have been supporting, helping to provide a sense of worth and belonging are re-housed immediately.
4. We demand Social Services and Mental Health Services undertake rapid assessments of those we are supporting, they are very vulnerable.
5. We have learned the drug and alcohol rehabilitation services are underfunded and unsupported, with long waiting lists, cuts to funding. These services must be well resourced and protected. We say no to privatisation.
6. The voices of the homeless must be heard and their requests must be actioned and they must be treated as equals.
7. We have also learned that the Homeless Provision in Merseyside is at breaking point, we have been working with the Whitechapel Centre in particular and will continue with that positive relationship.
8. We demand that the first step to recovery for those with addition issues is a roof over their heads, this is a priority over their recovery.
9. We would also like to thank the community and businesses of Liverpool and further afield for their generous support in solidarity of our direct action to occupy the Bank of England – we have only got this far with that support.
10. We continue to peacefully resist our removal from the Occupied Bank until our demands are met in full.
In peace and solidarity @Love Activists (Liverpool)
BNSF's Cody Local (R-PWR8162-24) with a pair of former Burlington Northern SD70MACs, three loads from CertainTeed Gypsum & Ceiling in Cody, a former Santa Fe Ortner hopper, and a caboose (shoving platform), roll underneath Highway 14 in Garland, Wyoming. The local runs a round trip between Cody, Wyoming, and Frannie (the connection to BNSF's Casper Subdivision).
A pair of Iowa Interstate GEVOs lead a train of loaded grain hoppers east through the small town of Brooklyn, IA along the railroad's Newton Sub. The two units departed as lite power from the yard at South Amana and went to an elevator in Malcom to pick up these loads and bring them back to the yard. IAIS 519, the leader, has the name 'Paul H. Banner' written on the side, a tribute to the railroad's first chairman, who passed away in June, 2024, at the age of 102.
MARC F9PH #83 leads a three car local across Sunnyside Ave in Beltsville MD on the evening of July 11, 1991. The lush forest to the left of the train was about to be cleared for the Metrorail's new Greenbelt maintenance facility within the next year or so.

Blue Ridge Southern's afternoon local T73 heads out of Canton with a small consist of cars for the various industries in Waynesville. Power for the train is WAMX GP39-2 #3939, which started life as Deleware and Hudson 7606. It would later become Boston and Maine (Guilford) 366 and Union Pacific 2745/1245 before ending up on the BLU.
I was out in the mountains for the weekend attending orientation at my future home, Western Carolina University. You can certainly expect to see more BLUposting in the future, as it is the closest railroad to the university. The mountains are so incredibly cool, and offer endless opportunities for photos that I can't wait to experience.
the dog and I went to the local nature park for a walk decided to bring the camera this is was my favorite capture (besides the ones my dog... of course)
Following right on Keolis/MBTA 1705's block is CSXT local B731 seen coming through the turnout from Main 1 to single track here at MP 14.8 on the MBTA Franklin Line, the former New Haven Midland Division. The Readville to Framingham turn job is unusually light today with only two cars trailing their pair of GP40-2Ss. Norwood Central is still graced with a tidy little brick suburban station that was built by the NH in 1899.
Buried beneath the snow in the foreground is CSXT's East Walpole Industrial Track, the two mile long surviving stub of the old New Haven Wrentham Branch that into the 1960s was still a thru route to Valley Falls, RI.

Montana Rail Link’s Livingston Local is dropping down the west slope after cresting the 5702 foot summit of Bozeman on MRL’s 2nd Subdivision Mainline through the 3,015 foot long tunnel that was built by the Northern Pacific Railway in 1945. The little train is seen in a snow squall west of Chestnut near MP 131 winding along beside Rocky Creek in the valley they share with Interstate 90.
The MRL has operated the former NP mainline across its namesake state since 1987 when it entered into a long term lease of the line between Billings, MT and Sand Point, ID from NP successor Burlington Northern. While the majority of traffic on the MRL consists of overhead BNSF trains they do operate a pair of daily manifests of their own and assorted locals serving line side industries across the state.
On this cold snowy day the local is in command of a GP35 number 404. This locomotive most assuredly feels right at home in conditions like this as it was built new for the Rio Grande in January 1965 as DRGW 3043 and spent its first three decades crossing the Rockies and the likes of legendary routes such as the Moffatt Tunnel, Tennessee Pass, and Soldier Summit. And though it looks fine in Washington Companies blue paint I sure would prefer it in black and Grande gold!
