...except me. There were other people around but they were well scattered. Following Nicola's orders.
Nobody knows where it is...nobody swims here except me....somewhere in Armidale....I would share it with you should you chance upon it:)
Ahhh the Saw by… a strategy for meeting trains that was east with cabeese or extensively staffed passenger trains. Today the little blinking box can’t protect a shove so the strategy is rare. Then comes along the N&W 611 and its inability to go through the turnout at the east end of the North Mountain siding. CSX E207 is one of a couple CSX trains that runs over the Buckingham Branch’s ex C&O line that goes between Richmond and Clifton Forge. This line was a more gradient heavy and longer route that went via multiple larger towns. C&O’s main route followed the James River to the south. It was used primarily as a passenger route, but in a post 71 Amtrak world, passenger routes are rare. The passing sidings are all horribly short for this reason even for the standards of prePSR. Buckingham Branch took the line over a few years ago to handle local traffic while CSX uses it to send west bound empties and grain. No EB CSX trains run this route. Amtrak also runs the Cardinal 3 times a week. E207 came up on the line up early Sunday morning, so we headed east to intercept. Something was odd though, they were crawling. Empty buckets and 4 units shouldn’t have been that much of a problem, until the train came into view at the Little Rock Tunnel with a Smokey leader. The engineer opened his window and called out “The Turbo went!” Welp… 611 then dialed up the dispatcher and the meet was set at North Mountain. The BB dispatchers really proved how good they are at lining up these meets as the moment we heard the E207 blowing for a distant crossing at the west end switch, 611 came around the corner. The two trains had a rolling meet and as soon as the tail of the excursion came into the siding they stopped. E207 cleared up, 611 backed out with help from the diesels on the rear, and they continued east. This is a train meet no railfan, foamer, or casual spectator could have imagined seeing in the modern day, but it happened, and it was one of the coolest things I’ve seen.
“A poet is somebody who feels, and who expresses his[/her] feelings through words.
This may sound easy. It isn’t.
A lot of people think or believe or know they feel — but that’s thinking or believing or knowing; not feeling. And poetry is feeling — not knowing or believing or thinking.
Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel. Why? Because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself.
To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”
—E. E. Cummings

After a long day of skiing, normal people enjoy a tasty fondue or a glass of wine by a crackling open fire. Not so the dedicated night photographer: I went out into the 0° F cold night and clambered the mountains for 45 minutes to shoot the starry skies.
This image is a 9-panel 270° panorama, showing the former observatory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Arosa. The observatory is located on Tschuggen hill above Arosa, in the Swiss Alps, at a height of 2050 meters.
Created in 1939, the site was, until 1980, concentrating on solar observations, in particular the corona, sunspots and solar eclipses. Today, the observatory is a vacation home with no astronomical purpose - what a pity!
I light painted the observatory with a single LED panel, while the snow cats grooming the slopes for another day of skiing, were lighting the mountains below the star filled skies. The yellow glow on the horizon is light pollution from the nearby Rhine Valley and the ski resort Lenzerheide.
Winter Milky Way with several deep sky objects (e.g. Rosette & California Nebulas) is clearly visible. Below the arch of Milky Way are the red nebulas of Orion, the open clusters Hyades and Pleiades in Taurus and the setting Triangulum and Andromeda Galaxies. On the very left, the constellation Leo is hosting bright Jupiter.
