I might just try having a digital holiday for a few days to be present in the moment. I could even hug a tree. Yule log off too maybe? Ho ho ho.

In these dreary days of winter it's hard not to dream wistfully of fluffy white clouds, colourful meadows, and warm summer evenings out with the camera.
Not exactly arty, this out-take from last year didn't make the cut first time around but with yet more rain imminent, and the need for some proper colour, I thought it might be worth an airing now........
Needless to say it's old friend 6J37 and Colas Tug 60085 heading the 12.02 Carlisle Yard - Chirk logs past Manor Farm at Moore in horsey Cheshire. I'm actually stood by the fence with arm raised waving for a selfie - sadly an errant light cloud running just ahead of the train put a bit of a dampener on it, but at least it didn't spoil the main event.

70817 crosses Entwistle viaduct with the diverted 6Z37 Chirk to Carlisle empty logs on April 4 2021. Engineering work on the West Coast Main Line saw the train diverted via Manchester, Bolton and Blackburn.
The flock of coots on this pond took turns hauling out on this log and preening there feathers, scratching and stretching.
Old Scandinavian building tradition - a two stories log construction with a turf roof. Except for the window panes you can find all building materials on the site!
This one is located in Härjedalen, Sweden.
Logs of Dialogues, a sculpture that consist of 18 logs painted with eyes and open mouths and was created by Dr. Subdoh Kerkar. An ode to dialogue, it is a response to the rise of terrorism. Dr Kerkar said: “Terrorism is a product of a lack of communication, the world needs dialogue more than ever before.”

Murkhana
========================
It was a bloodbath. Imperial forces were held up at the palace, our last stop before the extraction point. We were ambushed by the Kluj gang, one of more brutal groups of Murkhana. They were monsters; they would resort to unconventional and barbaric means after their blasters ran out of ammo. Some would even start dismembering the stormtroopers with their knives and machetes. I stand here in the aftermath, looking at the bodies of countless men and Kluj members. One in a rebel outfit sits here next to me, bleeding out and gasping for breath; despite this, he does not beg for mercy with what life he has left in him. He will instead remain the beast he is, until death grabs him. I cannot pity him, for he asks for none. I will instead mourn for my lost comrades, who died needless deaths... It's a shame that such a beautiful palace has to be stained with Imperial blood.

Just so you know, it's September 6 where I live when I uploaded this, so this meets the deadline for DT XD So yeah. Anyways, this was actually pretty rushed for me, though I think it turned out pretty well. I got some sand green pieces as well as those white slopes used here from pick a brick, so definitely gonna have fun with those :D This build was also inspired by Jamesbrick and Graeme's recent Theed builds, so I'd definitely recommend y'all check 'em out; they're like, extremely dope dude. This was a pretty fun build for me, and a nice experiment with the new parts. Until next time!
Dolly Sods, West Virginia
The Fall colors season has arrived. I generally start out shooting in the highest elevations of West Virginia where it begins much earlier than in my home state of Virginia. Once the fog lifted this past Saturday afternoon, the annual autumn crimson colors of the heath barrens were revealed in the high-elevation meadows at Bear Rocks Preserve. This is a smartphone pic, w/ light processing in Photoshop.
Some interesting info I gathered from Wikipedia:
Dolly Sods is a rocky, high-altitude plateau with sweeping vistas and lifeforms normally found much farther north in Canada. To the north, the distinctive landscape of "the Sods" is characterized by stunted (“flagged”) trees, wind-carved boulders, heath barrens, grassy meadows created in the last century by logging and fires, and sphagnum bogs that are much older.
Dolly Sods is well known for its open expanses of sphagnum bog, heath shrubs and scattered and stunted red spruce — all creating impressions of areas much farther north. The local term "sods" is a traditional name referring to several high-elevation meadows in the High Alleghenies. The term is virtually synonymous with the "grass bald" of the southern Appalachians.
The extensive views across the tundra-like windswept open meadows in the northern section of Dolly Sods are reminiscent of Alaskan landscapes. "Heath barrens" is a botanical term, but the traditional local name for these unusual expanses was "huckleberry plains". These upper reaches have been extensively colonized by various heaths: blueberry and cranberry, huckleberry, rose azalea and rosebay rhododendron, mountain laurel, teaberry (or wintergreen), and Allegheny menziesia. Members of Rosaceae (the rose family) also abound: chokeberry, mountain ash, serviceberry, and pin cherry.
THANKS FOR VIEWING!
I visited Chartley Moss to see White-faced darters there was lots around but I struggled to get shots as the were very active but later the lizards seemed to all come out when the sun shone. A real treat as there was more than I have ever seen they normally just run over the paths in front of me.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated
This fallen tree was an obstacle on the Barnes Creek Trail, not a part of it . . . . but it does offer a path to exploration.
It was a cold damp morning on Crewe station, I was meeting my 1Z10 chums Rob and Nigel before we headed north towards the Rylstone branch for a days shoot. We were fortunate that a few freights were booked through the station within 20 minutes of each other so we thought we would bag a few shots.
This is 70803 on the 6C37 0530 Chirk to Carlisle Kingmoor empty logs.
Blue hour was just starting and the station lights were still on which all contributed towards an atmospheric shot.
I admit to being a house hoarder. I play the Game of Homes constantly but this one, oh my, this one is a gem and a forever home. Never mind being surrounded by water but it bumps into the next region and has a small island attached which makes my land look enormous. Now I need to figure out which other ones don't measure up so I can throw them back into the pool.
