Yesterday morning had been good conditions to shoot the moon, as it did get some sun rise sky illumination with still some blues from the snow and forrest. Good remaining week. Thanks, udo.
PRATO CARNICO. LOCALITA' PIERIA.
Prato Carnico si trova in Val Pesarina, nella regione montana della Carnia. La valle, che ha direzione est-ovest, è attraversata dal torrente Pesarina, sulla cui riva sinistra sorgono 9 dei 10 paesini che compongono il comune (solo Pradumbli si trova sulla riva destra).
A nord, il magnifico arco delle Dolomiti Pesarine offre svariate possibilità di escursioni in roccia e scalate, anche impegnative. A Sud, la più dolce catena montagnosa che fa da spartiacque con la conca di Sauris, consente un trekking più “dolce” fra i verdi pascoli alla scoperta della vita in malga.
Il cuore pulsante della Valle del Tempo, nome con cui è conosciuta la Val Pesarina, è il magnifico borgo rurale di Pesariis.
La produzione artigianale degli orologi in questo paese pare abbia avuto inizio alla fine del 1600 ad opera di artigiani che avevano appreso tale arte nella Foresta Nera in Germania.

Local Muong girls harvesting tea leaves, Long Coc, Vietnam
Tea production is a cornerstone of Vietnam’s economy, with the country ranking as the 7th largest tea producer globally, and supporting the livelihoods of over 400,000 families, particularly in rural and mountainous areas. Workers rise with the sun to handpick around 15 kilograms of tea leaves each morning, ensuring freshness and quality. Beyond its economic impact, traditional tea cultivation and processing techniques, passed down through generations, reflect Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage and the dedication of its people.

Panorama view from Hessian Hill in Cornish today.
Took a ride around the area today and took a few photos of our local foliage color.
On one of my weekend wanderings after moving to Texas in 1979, I found this geep-powered local tied down somewhere in Shreveport. I don't remember where in Shreveport; it was kind of a confusing place with tracks in all directions. I always thought the small numbers under the cab on KCS locos were odd.

BLE 907
I'm not sure what train this is but I saw the same power doing the same thing two days in a row so I suspect it's a local transfer job of some sort. At any rate, this pair of UP Deuces is heading north out of Fort Worth and soon to go over the Trinity River. 5/18/18

Photographically, the result was initially unsatisfactory, as the fine detail in the bark is missing. The camera was loaded with a film unsuitable for the scene and lighting conditions: too high in contrast and too low in sensitivity for the harsh backlight in the dark forest. Leaning against a tree allowed for an exposure of 1/30 second with the aperture wide open. However, the shape of the tree trunks against the illuminated background was brought out, which was what I was actually after.
FEC train 915 lifts six empty gondolas from the Matco Industries transload in Cocoa, FL. The power for today's train, SD40-2 716, is unusal as this job usually rates a single GP40-2.
These gondolas are loaded with aggregate down in Medley, FL and ride north on the head end of train 336 overnight. Once in City Point, 915 will snag these cars and swap emtpties for loads a short distance south here in Cocoa. 915 will then return the empties to City Point where they will ride the tail end of 335 back to Medley to repeat the cycle.
On this day, the 915 crew used 716, which was the trailing motor on 336. After completing their moves here and working Titusville, they would make a run north to New Symrna Beach and swap 716 for 714. 714 would then come back south and take 716's place in the trailing position for that night's 335.
Another shot of Silbury Hill. This shot is from a higher altitude and shows the top of the hill. The general public are not permitted to climb the hill, so the last time I saw the top was as a young child in the 1970's.

Luuk Heis asked if this is possible...well I liked the way it sounded but it is based on the fact that I think that globally you can go local as in locovores who try to eat local produce. And thanks to people like Barbara Kingsolver the idea is catching on more and more..We eat at restaurants that try to use local produce..less energy costs in terms of transporting the items...not produced by AgriBusiness but local family farmers...more organic,less pesticides,less antibiotics in the chickens etc.
Actually, tastes better...

Since CSX has taken over the pan am power has been hanging around. Recently Portsmouth branch Local L063 got two CSX GP40-2 for power. They just got paper before crossing the Great Bay as they head for Portsmouth with 2 cars for Tyco and 16 cars for Sea3. Photo taken Stratham, NH January 22, 2025
I like to document the scene so even with a long hood forward and high sun this rather unique signal arrangement was just too cool to pass up!
After making the nearly 64 mile trip south to Dorena for some industry work, Florida East Coast Railway local 905 is starting back to Bowden Yard in Jacksonville. Running long hood forward is FEC 508, an EMD GP38-2 built new for the road in Apr. 1978 and still adorned with the simplified blue dip scheme and classic large Hurricane logo. They are passing this interesting intermediate signal in the middle of the 20,500 ft Dorena siding as they approach the Otis Hunter Road crossing at MP 63.8 on the Flagler Subdivision mainline north of the town of4th Bunnell.
The mainline here dates from 1925 and is known as the Moultrie Cutoff. It was constructed as a nearly straight arrow higj speed line from St. Augustine to Bunnell that eliminated the long dog leg out to East Palatka via the original mainline dating from 1885.

CN 8952 pays homage to the fallen Grand Trunk, as the now grimy GM is seen working in the yard in Truro this afternoon. This was the last CN Heritage Unit I hadn't shot in one way or another, so I can officially cross it off the bucket list...not that I overly cared. The crew of the recently reinstated afternoon shift 516 would go on to switch in the yard for the next hour or so before heading east on the Bedford Sub to switch a couple customers, once VIA 14 was east of town.

Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
A giant wooden chair erected in the Forest of Dean almost 30 years ago is to be burnt for charcoal.
The 20ft (6m) tall Giant's Chair was crafted out of local oak by Czech artist Magdalena Jetelova in 1986.
Despite being strengthened in the past, the trust which manages the trail in Gloucestershire said the wooden structure was now "falling down". A thing of the past
