We were both enjoying a week off a few weeks agao and had some luck with the weather during that week off.
Decided to visit National Park Dwingelderveld again and follow some hikingtrails.
Wanted to test and practice some more with our gear again.
Took as we do almost every time also some of our analog gear with us.
One of our Canon Eos 3 cameras was loaded with some fresh Ilford XP2 Super 400 for a change
Developing was done at home with our Cinestillfilm Cs41 kit at 39c and 4 minutes
This was the fourth film with the new batch of developer mixed on September 9 2020
Curious if we can reach over 25 films again and 10 months with this new batch.
The previous developer batch was used to develop 28 films (135-36 format) over an period of 10 months without any problems.
The Cinestill CS41 does stay in good working condition if kept cool, dark and oxygen free.
This might be a good name for a band..."Now, coming at you live...it's LOCAL HONEEEEEEEEEYYY!"...hmmmmm...
This shot is actually of what will hopefully turn out to be an allergy preventative. If you've been following my stream for the past couple of weeks, you've likely picked up that I've been under the weather - sore throat (to the point I thought it was strep), congestion, cough, etc.. This has been going on for two+ weeks! As the congestion seemed to be going deeper into my chest and I was starting to worry about pneumonia, I paid another visit to the doc yesterday.
He ordered an x-ray just to be safe and everything came back clean. And he concluded that I've likely been dealing with an upper respiratory infection brought on by allergies. Enter the local honey.
A friend shared that an allergy-sufferer friend of hers started eating 1 teaspoon of locally produced honey daily and her allergies all but stopped; when she moved to a different state, she did the same thing with the same result. The premise is that ingesting honey produced from local pollens helps the body develop immunity to those same pollens during allergy season. On the surface, this makes sense.
So, old wives tale or truth, I'm game for anything at this point. I've never been an allergy-sufferer, but obviously something changed this spring and I'm ready to meet it and defeat it. Not sure how much honey I'll need to ingest to allow the body to develop a fortress, but going to give it a go with the hope that next spring is less eventful.
I’ve been wanting to shoot this for along time, I’ve just never been at the right place at the right time until a couple of days ago. The “Corning Local” backs down the Blacksburg branch in Christiansburg with a single SD40-2 and an N&W caboose on the rear. There’s no crossing gates at this extreme busy crossing so two people walk behind and stop traffic. The train has just worked Corning, a ceramic manufacturer in Christiansburg, and it’s now going to meet the Christiansburg district and head back to Radford yard.

Local Mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) enjoying life in the Mombasa Lagoon, San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Conservation status: least concern
One of our local Eagles was quite close to me, standing on a large rock in the water to eat the fish he had just caught. Crows were hovering nearby, no doubt hoping to get some left overs. He seemed to be giving them the real 'Eagle Eye'!
Having finished up their work at Titan America, Florida East Coast Railway local 905 out of Bowden Yard in Jacksonville is beginning their long shove from the end of Wilbur Wright Industrial Lead back to the mainline. Solo GP40-2 FEC 430, which was built new for the railroad in Dec. 1984 and was repainted in January 2024 in this special scheme to honor US Veterans, is seen beneath the never ending truck traffic overhead on Interstate 95.
This 5 1/2 mile long branch diverges from the mainline at a spot once known as Moultrie Junction in West St. Augustine at MP 37.1 just south of the Palmer St. crossing and only a quarter mile from the popular San Sebastian River trestle. Interestingly this industrial track was once the FEC's mainline prior to the opening of the Moultrie Cutoff between St. Augustine and Bunnell in 1925. Prior to that time all trains looped southwest to East Palatka via the route of predecessor Saint Augustine and Palatka Railroad which was built in 1885. The branch to East Palatka hung on into the 1980s though the bridge over the St. Johns River into Palatka proper had been condemned around 1948. It was first cut back to Hastings which the FEC served until around 1988 until finally abanding it as far as this point just west of I95 where it ends to this day. Even more interesting is that the short stretch of the branch near its start in St. Augustine is basically on the right of way of the FEC's oldest predecessor, the Saint Johns Railway, which was chartered in 1858 as a narrow gauge line running between St. Augustine and a steamboat landing on the St. Johns River at Tocoi. The aforementioned extension to East Palatka was built from a point known as Tocoi Junction that was a half mile or so west of the present mainline junction.
In March of 1862 Union gun boats destroyed the railroad’s dock at Tocoi Landing, burned the company's rolling stock, ripped apart its steam locomotive and confiscated its new rails which were shipped to Hilton Head, South Carolina. By the late 1860’s the Saint Johns Railroad had scraped together enough money to resume operations this time with mule teams before finally getting another steam locomotive around 1878. The little road was purchased by Henry Flagler in 1888 who was in the process of creating what would become the FEC, and though he standard gauged at that time it proved to be of little utility and was abandoned in 1896.

VB-2 originated in Vanceboro earlier in the morning doing what local work on the Joint Track still in the Maine Central account returning to home rails at Keag.
The pulp on the pin came out of Keag and will go to the IP mill at Rileys, behind the pulp is wood chips picked up at Giddings going to Great Works. Track speed back then was 35 mph so it was always a spirited chase. Today the track remains in place max speed 10 mph and traffic is being handled by the CMQ from Brownville Jct to Northern Main Jct.Doubt that this will last once the CP takes over.
I wonder which is better, the monochrome or colored. This is the original image taken. It seemed that the attractive colors and accessories of the donkey are more eye catching than the owner of the donkey.
What's not to love about donkeys?
On this particular day it had been a rather fruitless wildflower hunt early in the season along Caliente-Bodfish rd. And then I came upon what seems like a pair of proud parents, showing off their youngster roadside and made the day!
Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
In local Aboriginal lore, the figure depicted here is known as a namarnde, an evil spirit whose modus operandi is to bludgeon women with a yam and then devour them. The 1.5 metre-high figure is located in the same rock art gallery as the Lightning Man depicted in my image 0446 and was painted by the same artist. Some of the rock art in Kakadu is thought to be 20,000 years old but this figure, along with those in the Lightning Man panel, was painted by ‘Barramundi Charlie’ Najombfolmi, during the 1963-1964 monsoon season.
This particular namarnde is known as Nabulwinjbulwinj (pronounced Nar-bull-win-bull-win).

After a lot of car shuffling in the Barnesville yard, OTV's local to Dilworth is rolling into Sabin over the South Fork of the Buffalo River. We happily took the extra switching in Barnesville as it let the sun get over to the side at one of our favorite spots.

Is what the sign in the window of this defunct business in Elma says. The hamlet's hotel has been out of business and for sale for at least 5 years.

Today the weather was almost Spring like with wall to wall sunshine and no breeze. Glorious day for a walk in our local hills!
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.

On Sunday the 28th of September 2025, Paciifc National's 6MP7 Intermodal travels up-grade through Glenalta with NR34/NR5 as motive power.
The train is pictured passing the short suburban platform in Glenalta Station with the 'Reconciliation Livery' NR34 looking bold in the afternoon sun, on its service to Melbourne,
A trio of SD60's and an IC SD40-2 were on the head end of this Ranier Local headed for Proctor on a sunny Saturday morning. Leaving Alborn after meeting a CN intermodal. Those former Oakways are always a nice catch.
Hiroshima Ryokka center,
Needed a longer lens than my Nikon105 Z macro as too close to insect. Or a Z8 and crop it.
With a caboose on the rear of the train, Union Pacific SD40N No. 1605 and SD70M No. 4334 shove a 70 car LUE43 local through CP RG745 Second South in Salt Lake City, Utah the afternoon of Aug. 3, 2021.
In un angolo del giardino, sul ceppo di un albero rinsecchito, giacciono due vecchi zimbelli per la caccia, in plastica. Sono rigidi e ormai scostati e se ne stanno come mostri inanimati a ricordare passate stagioni. Quando però il primo sole di marzo li riscalda, i due simulacri si animano rapidamente. Numerose lucertoline, infatti, li prendono d'assalto per ... scaldarsi. Un caso innegabile e scientificamente dimostrato di "Local Warming" ..... ..
