Semaphore signals have guarded the Santa Fe mainline over Raton and Glorieta Pass since before World War II. Not even fifty years after the Santa Fe ran its last Super Chief and El Capitan through New Mexico, many of these blades have continued to guard the last two regular trains on this route and any extra movements.
The graceful movements of the aerial acrobat gives a stunning performance to anyone who watches. This particular artist was with the Cirque du Soleil and had the crowd in sheer amazement.

Although they are called waterfalls, they actually consist of intense tidal currents hurtling through two narrow gorges. Massive tidal movements create a waterfall effect as water banks up against one side of the narrow cliff passage, to be repeated again on the turning tide. The tide builds up in front of the gaps faster than it can flow through them and there can be a four-metre-high waterfall between the bays.
The falls were described by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the greatest natural wonders of the world”.
Travelling through them on special powerful speed boats provides one of the worlds natural adrenalin rushes. The gap between the two rock faces does not leave much for any errors but then these drivers have been doing it for a long time.

Bravely sporting a coat of rail blue paint is BR/Sulzer Type 2 No 5024. There were 462 of these engines in service at the time (including the improved Class 25). This engine is seen at Manchester Victoria station on May 11 1973. My movements this day were Northampton-Rugby-Manchester Piccadilly -Manchester Victoria - Leeds - Birmingham - Coventry - Northampton.

The European goldfinch or simply the goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) is a small passerine bird in the finch family that is native to Europe, North Africa and western and central Asia. It has been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay.
The breeding male has a red face with black markings around the eyes, and a black-and-white head. The back and flanks are buff or chestnut brown. The black wings have a broad yellow bar. The tail is black and the rump is white. Males and females are very similar, but females have a slightly smaller red area on the face.
The goldfinch is often depicted in Italian Renaissance paintings of the Madonna and Child.
The average European goldfinch is 12–13 cm (4.7–5.1 in) long with a wingspan of 21–25 cm (8.3–9.8 in) and a weight of 14 to 19 g (0.49 to 0.67 oz). The sexes are broadly similar, with a red face, black and white head, warm brown upper parts, white underparts with buff flanks and breast patches, and black and yellow wings.
On closer inspection, male European goldfinches can often be distinguished by a larger, darker red mask that extends just behind the eye. The shoulder feathers are black, whereas they are brown on the female. In females, the red face does not extend past the eye. The ivory-colored bill is long and pointed, and the tail is forked. Goldfinches in breeding condition have a white bill, with a greyish or blackish mark at the tip for the rest of the year. Juveniles have a plain head and a greyer back but are unmistakable due to the yellow wing stripe. Birds in central Asia (the caniceps group) have a plain grey head behind the red face, lacking the black and white head pattern of European and western Asian birds. Adults moult after the breeding season, with some individuals beginning in July and others not completing their moult until November. After moult birds appear less colorful, until the tips of the newly grown feathers wear away.
The song is a pleasant silvery twittering. The call is a melodic tickeLIT, and the song is a pleasant tinkling medley of trills and twitters, but always including the tri-syllabic call phrase or a teLLIT-teLLIT-teLLIT.
The European goldfinch is native to Europe, North Africa, and western and central Asia. It is found in open, partially wooded lowlands and is a resident in the milder west of its range, but migrates from colder regions. It will also make local movements, even in the west, to escape bad weather. It has been introduced to many areas of the world. It was introduced to Bermuda, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Chile, the Falkland Islands, Uruguay, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand[19] in the 19th century, and their populations quickly increased and their range expanded greatly. In Australia, they now occur from Brisbane to the Eyre Peninsula, and are also spread throughout New Zealand. In the United States, they have become established in the western Great Lakes region.

Erano due i merli e svolazzavano felici nella neve ... e rincorrendoli un pò sono riuscita a fotografarli in pose loro diverse, quindi ho formato un collage.
E' stata anche questa una sorpresa per me, raramente riesco a fotografare gli uccelli, il merlo l'avevo già fotografato in altre stagioni, sembra più facile riprenderlo.
Poi vederli così mentre nevicava ho provato una certa emozione!
Sono foto che formano questo collage, ma come foto ho dovuto riprendere questi merli in fretta ... appena si fermavano nei loro movimenti e voli, quindi non sono foto ben riuscite , ma quello che volevo e non potevo fare altrimenti, era rendere l'idea della mia emozione.

There were two blackbirds and they fluttered happily in the snow ... and chasing them a while I was able to photograph them in different poses, so I formed a collage.
It was also a surprise for me, I rarely can photograph the birds, I had already photographed the blackbird in other seasons, it seems easier to take photo to them.
Then seeing them like this while it was snowing, I felt a certain emotion!
They are photos that form this collage, but as a photo I had to shoot these blackbirds in a hurry ... as soon as they stopped in their movements and flights, so they are not successful photos, but what I wanted and could not do otherwise was to give the idea of my emotion.

Hier soir, pour sa première journée d'ouverture, je me suis rendu au col Agnel.
Le deuxième plus haut col routier d'Europe (2744m d'altitude).
Ce même jour, je me suis fait la montée à vélo.
L'ambiance y était tellement dingue, avec parfois 4 mètres de murs de neige, que l'envie d'y retourner le soir-même était très forte. 🌌
De pouvoir enfin ressentir l'énergie et l'ambiance de cet endroit surprenant.
Les prévisions météorologiques étaient mitigées mais j'ai pu avoir une fenêtre suffisamment longue pour réaliser ma composition.
Comme nous pouvons le constater sur la photo, seul le côté français du col Agnel a été entièrement déneigé (la moitié droite de la photo). 🇫🇷
Pour le côté italien, il va falloir attendre encore un peu (côté gauche de la photo). 🇮🇹
D'ailleurs, nous pouvons observer le sable du Sahara qui ressurgit sur la neige, au fur et à mesure que cette dernière fond.
Sa couleur ocre est renforcée par la diffusion de la pollution lumineuse de Turin sur les nuages de haute altitude. ☁️
Le vent m'a rendu visite tout au long de la nuit. Un vent constant et humide qui m'a vraiment donné froid. Même ma doudoune était mouillée, c'est dire !
Mon optique a alors reçu de la buée; ce qui donne ces halos très esthétiques sur les étoiles. ✨
Je me sentais tellement bien là-haut, que je me retrouve, encore une fois, à sourire naïvement aux étoiles.
Je vous laisse profiter calmement de chaque détail de ce panorama à 360°. 🌟
Place au rêve,

Yesterday evening, for its first day of opening, I went to Col Agnel.
The second highest road pass in Europe (2744m above sea level).
That same day, I went up by bike.
The atmosphere there was so crazy, with sometimes 4 meters of snow walls, that the desire to go back that same evening was very strong. 🌌
To finally be able to feel the energy and the atmosphere of this surprising place.
The weather forecast was mixed but I was able to have a long enough window to complete my composition.
As we can see in the photo, only the French side of Col Agnel has been completely cleared of snow (the right half of the photo). 🇫🇷
For the Italian side, you will have to wait a little longer (left side of the photo). 🇮🇹
Moreover, we can observe the sand of the Sahara which resurfaces on the snow, as the latter melts.
Its ocher color is enhanced by the diffusion of light pollution from Turin on high altitude clouds. ☁️
The wind visited me throughout the night. A constant, humid wind that really made me feel cold. Even my down jacket was wet, that’s saying something!
My optics then fogged up; which gives these very aesthetic halos on the stars. ✨
I felt so good up there that I found myself, once again, naively smiling at the stars.
I'll let you calmly enjoy every detail of this 360° panorama. 🌟
Make way for the dream,
Jeff

I just love FP4, works for everything, even long exposure (as you need to compensate quite a bit..= no need for any ND filters!)
Exposure time ~60 seconds, meter read 4s.. (haha..) Also experimented a bit with Paranol S (Rodinal look-a-like, kinda..)
Photo taken near Limhamn/Sweden.

A very common sight around rural eastern Australia at the moment with the long-running drought and the lack of stock feed in the badly hit areas, hopefully the rain over the last week might be a change of luck.

“The two workmen made identical movements, and Harry mirrored them without conscious thought: All three of them drew their wands. Ron, a few seconds late in realizing what was going on, lunged across the table, pushing Hermione sideways onto her bench. The force of the Death Eaters’ spells shattered the tiled wall where Ron’s head had just been, as Harry, still invisible, yelled, “Stupefy!”

While a pretty simple build, it was hard NOT to do this one.
I’ve had the cmf battle goddess saved up for a while, because her helmet reminds me of pasta. Originally I’d given up on making a build with it, but then this perfect opportunity arose and I added it last-minute.
Fun fact: this and “The Wedding” were the single most re-shot pictures in the entire series, each being re-done and re-edited a total of 7 times. Insane? Definitely. Why? Why not!
