These buildings face the sea and were once hotels. They were originally constructed to provide accommodation to some of the thousands of trippers that came to Ramsey in the late Victorian era. Boats used to dock at the Queen's Pier not far from here having brought passengers from Scotland and North West England. These days the majority have been converted into residential flats.

We take this road every time we go to Trumansburg. It's a backroad all the way there and my favourite route to take!

Squirrel is so used to sharing the deck with me that he more or less ignores me when I'm taking photos of him. This moment is him pausing his acorn snack and reacting to a bunch of panicked Blue Jays giving warning calls after an overflight by a large raven startled them. Taken with an old Sony Cybershot DSC-H1 I just bought at a thrift store. Not a bad old camera.
I can't think of a better way to wake up to then an oceanside sunrise. The sound of the waves pounding the shore break while the sun lights the clouds making them glow all kinds of reds and pinks giving way to a bright blue sky and ocean.

I found this spot while mountain biking along the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I hurried and finished the trail so I could return here by sunset. Just like this spot, there are many remote viewpoints of the North Rim where you won't find crowds and you can camp virtually anywhere you like. This is the part of the Grand Canyon I like to visit.
CSXT Framingham based local L004 has been on duty more than three hours and is just now starting north. They are technically still inside the Framingham Yard limits as they trundle northbound on the Fitchburg Branch at about MP QBU35.6. The entirety of the branch is designated as Other Than Main Track with this local operating at Restricted Speed but not exceeding 10 MPH the whole way making for an agonizingly long round trip.
The two ex Chessie GP40-2s are crossing the short deck girder bridge over the Foss Reservoir/Sudbury River with a big train of more than 30 cars. Have you ever driven the Mass Pike in the Framingham area and looked over your shoulder to the south and seen a grafitti covered bridge and wondered what train crosses it? Well now you know, because the eastbound lanes of I90 are just 100 or so ft to the left of the train. a
This trackage dates from 1855 when the Agricultural Branch Railroad opened between Framingham and Northborough. In July 1866, the railroad opened a 14-mile extension to a connection with the Fitchburg and Worcester Railroad at Pratts Junction in Sterling. The next dozen years were rather convoluted as many small independent lines began to congeal into larger systems and by 1879 the route was part of the Old Colony Railroad, then ultimately came into the fold of the New York, New Haven, & Hartford in 1893.
This line, like its sister route to Lowell, was one of only three incursions of the NH north of the defacto "Mason Dixon Line" of New England Railroading into what otherwise was the exclusive domain of the Boston and Maine. For virtually a century, with few exceptions, the NH ruled CT and RI and everything in MA south of New York Central's Boston & Albany subsidiary which ran in a virtual straight line between its namesake cities bifurcating New England.
Today this 30 mile route meandering northwest is the last CSXT owned branchline in Massachusetts, with all the rest of any length that they still operate having been sold to MassDOT. The branch seems to have a solid future thanks to the addition of a busy new demolition debris customer near the end of the line in Leominster a few years ago supplementing stalwarts like Ken's Foods, Nucor, and Bestway Lumber.

Alligator River NWR in North Carolina is one of the toughest sites I have ever tried to photograph. It was just too hot and humid to walk the trails so the car blind was the platform of choice. With large water filled ditches on both sides of every road, target scanning for alligators, bears and owls kept my neck in knots for most of our visit.
While scanning the tree line early one morning with humidity hanging in the air so heavy you could taste it, I noticed this fellow in the road as I rounded the curve. Not wanting to take time to change lenses, I jumped out of the car and approached my subject fully extended while warming itself in the gravel of the road. From 30 feet away, it responded to let me know that he was well aware of my approach. At 15 feet away it quickly maneuvered itself into a loosely based coil and started shaking its tail as if it was a rattlesnake. Understanding that he was so seriously concerned with my presence, I stayed back a good 10-12 feet with and exit strategy well formulated.
As I lifted my lens…well it didn’t like that either as it immediately opened its mouth and tightened its coil just a bit. It was at this point I realized two things. A…it wasn’t backing down and was ready to fight and B…I really wanted it to open its mouth a little bit more to improve the shot. It was time to preform a potentially stupid maneuver that there is certainty a good chance that I may later regret. I took my right foot and scuffed at the gravel below, making a somewhat loud sound, as it was perfectly quiet before. It REALLY didn’t like that maneuver, escalating its tail shaking and giving me the mouth shot that I so desired as it made a mock striking motion twice. It was at this point I surmised that I was just about out of warnings.
I verbally thanked God of the opportunity and the snake for its time. As I started walking backwards towards my car it took the opportunity to retreat into its preferred environment, the weeds and into the roadside ditch. I happily returned to my preferred environment, now filled with horse flies as I stupidly left the door open when jumping out to photograph the Water Moccasin (Cottonmouth).
I've been away for a couple of weeks exploring the delights of the Yorkshire coast.
Lots and lots of photos to go through from various places along the coast from Flamborough up to Robin Hoods bay.
Metro North commuter trains pass each other at Oscawana State Park in Crugers, NY on June 24, 2025. The southbound train (on the right) features the most recent heritage unit shoving on the rear. P32AC-DM #203 sports the original paint scheme from when Metro North began operation of Conrail's passenger service in 1983. Ilford FP4+ (Xtol stock), Nikon FM2N.
