Shot at the old port of Thira. Due to the restricted space, the passengers are generally offloaded by tenders - a process that takes time. The cruise ship is the Grand Celebration (1987, refit 2008), then operated by Ibero Cruceros. Its capacity is 1500 passengers. It stopped trading in 2020 and was scrapped in April 2021 in Alang (Gujarat, India). A video about it is: here.
About Thira: The island in its current state was formed during a cataclysmic volcanic eruption. In 1630 BC, one of the two Thira volcanoes erupted. During the process, the magma chamber of the volcano was totally emptied and the outer skin fractured and caved in - forming a huge hole (the caldera) which was filled by the sea.
The caldera measured about 12 by 7 km and is surrounded by 200 to 300 m high steep cliffs on three sides - they're on display here. The part of the island that was not caved in was covered in a layer of magma and lava of 50 m thick. Directly after the eruption mushroom-shaped clouds of ash formed that rose to a height of 35 km and there's little doubt that there were consequences for the climate. It was the largest volcanic eruption to take place in the last 10.000 year of Earth's history.
The consequences for the people were harsh. The giant tsunami and the ash rain wiped out the Minoan civilisation of the island and that of Crete (although there's some discussion about the latter).
The two volcanoes that are still under Thira have remained active through the ages. The one under the caldera formed a number of islets/volcanic cones. The largest one Nea Kameni was formed in the first part of the 18th century and through a series of eruptions in the second part of the 19th century and as 'recent' as 1921, 1928, 1939, 1941 and 1950 grew in size. On Nea Kameni are 7 volcanic vents that emit gasses and on Palea Kameni, which was formed before Nea Kameni (no surprises here - palea means old and nea new ) is one vent. By bleeding off pressure, together they reduce the chance of a future eruption. But one never knows.
The underwater volcano north of Oia produced earthquakes and emissions of poisonous gases that killed 70 people in 1649 and 1650. This period is referred to on the island as the 'time of evil'
(By the way: Recent research places the eruption that created the caldera ....21.000 years earlier than 1630 BC. According to this, there was a big eruption in that year, but the caldera was already there when it happened. I don't know if the evidence is conclusive.)

This is number 26 of the Cyclads 2011 album and 9 of Thira (Santorini).
A semi truck interfered with my original plan for this shot, but its presence ended up making what would otherwise be a pretty boring wedge across a nondescript grade crossing a fairly interesting scene, by creating what looks for all the world like some stock photo (sans logos of course) used in some corporate setting to illustrate #Multimodal #Rail #Freight #Logistics and other #Hashtag #Buzzwords.
Anyway, it's UP 1440 crossing Bradley Road on the far northwest side of Milwaukee with a few cars for the WSOR interchange at Granville.
CN 4129 & CN 4700 are backing up to Ray-Mont Logistics to pick up empty grain cars. This client is located adjacent to CN's Montreal Sub and Pointe St-Charles Yard and grain is transloaded here for further shipment.

Durch den Ausfall eines Termins konnte ich erfreulicherweise wieder die InfraServ-Leistung von Troisdorf nach Frankfurt-Höchst fotografieren.
This photo was taken at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station during the 2014 Winter season.
A majority of the work done at South Pole is maintaining the supplies (food, toilet paper, etc) and making sure that once the station reopens, that the correct items are flown in. A lot of the supplies are in this arch, behind the snow drift. Inside are rows of supplies and part of it is very much like the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse scene. The image also shows some exhaust from the power plant, a small aurora and part of the milky way. Outside most of the buildings, red lights are lit to help maintain night vision.
