Delamere Forest aug 2020

Gracias a todos por vuestra visita, amables comentarios y fav/ Thank you all for your visit, kind comments and fav.

Took this shot in Longview, WA last year. I was actually back here today, dropping off an empty trailer at Keystone Paper. We haul large rolls of paper to companies that use it to make corrugated cardboard boxes. (8 rolls weight over 40,000 LBS, which is enough to fill our 53' trailers.) When trees are logged, places like this is where they start the process of becoming all the many things we use wood for.

Hiking the trail in the Lost Forty forest. Funny (and rather ironic) thing is, is that I did get lost for a short time while I was hiking the Lost Forty trail.

This section of forest lies within the Chippewa National Forest near Bigfork, Minnesota. A Minnesota DNR Scientific and Natural Area, the 32 acre Lost Forty SNA, is also part of this beautiful site.

Due to a surveying error back in 1882, this 144 acre section was never logged. As a result, there are numerous 300-400 year old magnificent old-growth red and white pines in this special place.

The sight of these incredible trees isn't the only thing you experience here. The smell of this forest is unique. The sound is also unique. The breeze blowing through the crowns of these old pines make this piece of the north woods sing a totally different tune than most other sections of forest up here. You have to experience it to understand what I am saying.

For more information about the Lost Forty, go to the Chippewa National Forest's Lost Forty Website or the Minnesota DNR's Lost Forty SNA Website.

Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.

The driver taking forward the 12.44pm Carlisle Yard - Chirk Kronospan log train (6J37), waits patiently for the arriving driver to collect his belongings from the cab at Warrington's Bank Quay station. Colas unit 56105 is doing the honours.

An image not previously uploaded but one I thought deserved a run-out, not least for die-hard 'Grid' fans. This was one of the last railway shots I took with the part-frame EOS 7D before upgrading to the full-frame 5D, a move I've never regretted (it's still my main camera with no current plans to replace).

I had little luck processing this one at the time, but today's software has rendered it more than passable - technically if not artistically.

Built sometime around 1900 this log barn was used to shelter the horses that pull the stagecoach from Penticton to Princeton, British Columbia. This was the first stop after the stagecoach left Penticton and the passengers would stay in the hotel across the road. It took four days to travel the 120 km (75 miles) to Princeton. Today, the trip takes about an 1 hour 15 minutes.

Part of this years Gingerbread house theme,

All items are edible, very small and fun to do,

Cracks, growth rings and chainsaw cut marks on a wet log.

I was sure there was a horse in that log.

A week or so ago I picked some roses and put them into a bud vase as a gift for a friend. I had cut too many and these got left on this tree stump for days. I happened to walk past the stump while doing yard chores. The roses were now drying out and looked like a photo opportunity to me. Now, this stump gets used for a lot of things and now apparently it’s become the background some flower photos for Flickr. I found that I liked the washed out, grayish, contrasting feel the stump lends to this “Cut Rose” photo. Thanks for visiting my work. Stay safe and be kind. Remember to wash your🙏’s

Students have all logged out of this schoolhouse.

It was extremely cold yesterday morning when I took this, so I also quickly logged out in favour of the warmth of home.

Another upload of the first log trial run from Aberystwyth earlier this year and following on from the approach shot previously uploaded.

97304 "John Tiley" and 97303 "Dave Berry" are on the sharp end with 6C55, the 19:56 Aberystwyth Run Round Loop to Chirk Kronospan, skirting the River Dovey and nearing Dovey Junction in low light, Friday 29/4/22.

There was a trial running logs from Aberystwyth back in 2005, but strangely, it was top and tailed by MPV's, lets hope this latest trial develops into a regular working, at least the traction is better this time around!

This is another one that I check periodically when in the area for other reasons. The right side has collapsed considerably since the last visit and the top of the chimney has fallen off.

70806 heads past Greengates on 25.11.20 with the Carlisle to Chirk logs.

I will celebrate 9 million views in my Flickr stream tonight.

This was taken on a walk between Tarn Hows and Coniston in the U.K.'s beautiful Lake District (EM121526)

Another shot from Lost Maples SP... the tree fell at some point and has become a welcoming host for the moss growing here.

In the Forest at the LEwis and Clark National Historic park there were many trees that had fallen and were in various stages of decay.

We didn't know this cabin existed until we explored a back road in the hills near the Wyoming border in southeastern Idaho. It was a stormy day and the roads were muddy so we grabbed a couple of quick photos and got back to pavement.
