Sadly this independent operator in Torbay is de-registering its services. Though they are busy and serve areas that wouldn't otherwise have a service, most of the passengers are pensioners on free passes - and the council reimbursement simply isn't enough to make it viable.
This is Cockington Village, a scenic tourist hotspot on the outskirts of Torquay.
Montana Rail Link's 840 Local from Helena rolls along the Missouri River just west of Lombard, Montana. The Local will work industries at Trident, and Three Forks before returning to Helena. Meriwether Lewis of Lewis and Clark fame camped across the river (just left and above of the lead locomotive) on July 25, 1805.

This storm just missed us, but there were more lurking about.
I like two of these better than the others, but figured what the heck, I'll just put up all four and let you make your own decision.
Almost looks like one of those underwater atomic bomb tests.
Was with lots of other landscape shooters! Tourists, amateurs, hobbyists and professionals!

M-GFDSUP rolls through Bemidji, crossing over the calm Mississippi River. Only three cars on tonight's train, but they must have had a lot of work on the way from Grand Forks... I left Grand Forks an hour after they did, and I was home for four hours before they came through.

A family leaving the local store, Blandy Terrace, Ogmore Vale, South Wales, UK
Photographed using a 60-600mm lens. Difficult to focus manually as even the smallest turn on the focus ring would be the difference between sharp and not sharp. Autofocus was front focussing, so I spent a few hours adjusting the autofocus fine tuning until the writing on the shop sign was sharp.
This was taken about ¼ mile from the shop, across the valley. 480mm, 200asa, 1/250, f11, on a tripod with mirror up release.
If the forecast is correct and there is some sunshine, I’ll go down the local nature reserve and see if I can find anything from the hides. I wont hold my breath, the little critters seem to know when I’m there...
A decent wander round the local duck pond between bank holiday showers. Would have been rude not to take the wildlife lens. Wibsey Park, Bradford, West Yorkshire.

Fierce predator, Shrews live life fast and need to eat every couple of hours. Shrews can eat up to 4 times their bodyweight in a 36 hour period. They will eat worms, beetles, slugs etc. Agressive males often fight to the death .
They are not on the menu for several predators as they apparently taste nasty.
Chaseview Lane Stafford UK 5th March 2013
They don't only taste nasty but are second most venomous vertebrae in Britain after the Adder. Their saliva is quite toxic, their bite is very painful and irritating and the toxin when ingested by predators is supposed to be an emetic.
Shrews also have a very high heart rate, one of the fastest for the relative size. thanks Mic and Favemark for the extra info.

A focal point of the Marietta Square Market food hall in Marietta, GA is their 1922 streetcar on the front porch. The car is of the type operated by the Atlanta & Northern between Atlanta and Marietta from 1905-1944. For some time, the car was the "Tiki Trolley," a tropical-themed bar offshoot by one of the restaurants within the food hall. As of December 2024, the trolley has been repainted into its Atlanta & Northern paint scheme.
