A murky scene in the open cast coal mine at Sandaoling as a loaded train slogs its way out of the pit, while in the middle background, another loco is about to push back to the loader, upper right of the picture.

 

Reports suggest that this has all finished (in April this year) and the diminishing reserves of coal are being taken from the pit by conveyors and trucks.

 

The world’s last great steam spectacle has finally ended.

Happy Wing Wednesday!

Dried and frosty flowers after many frosty days...

Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of buttons. Sadly this little face desperately needs some dental work but due to Covid hasn't been able to get to the dentist and is now suffering from extreme tooth decay!

It's still snowing.

This 19th century Moor is of two worlds - in one, he stands resolutely upon my grandmother's shelf, and in another, he is an earnest traveler, forever ready to board the next train, take the next flight, ride the next camel or walk the next path.

As you've probably noticed by now, I'm a big fan of sunrises.

I often leave very early to photograph these. In the summer it can happen that I don't even go to bed one night because I'm already on my way at half past one in the morning.

My plan is always to reach my destination an hour before sunrise so that I can experience this magical atmosphere before the day begins.

And in rare cases I manage to get a shot like the one you see here. When the full moon hovers over the mist-covered Elbe valley.

In terms of composition, the photo is certainly not a masterpiece. After all, you can't choose where the moon sets, but when I look at the photo, I remember that moment up there on mount Rauenstein in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and my joy at having captured this scene (It was my first photo that morning and I was already satisfied).

And this memory makes the photo something special for me and I hope I was able to pass a little bit of it on to you.

 

Wie Ihr inzwischen sicher schon bemerkt habt, bin ich ein großer Fan von Sonnenaufgängen.

Um diese zu fotografieren bin ich häufig sehr früh unterwegs. Im Sommer kann das schonmal passieren, dass ich eine Nacht garnicht erst ins Bett gehe, weil ich mich morgens halb zwei schon auf den Weg mache.

Mein Plan ist immer, eine Stunde vor Sonnenaufgang an meinem Ziel zu sein, damit ich diese magische Stimmung vor Tagesbeginn noch miterleben kann.

Und in seltenen Fällen gelingt mir dann auch so eine Aufnahme wie die, die Ihr hier seht. Wenn der Vollmond über dem nebelbedeckten Elbtal schwebt.

Hinsichtlich der Komposition ist das Foto sicher kein Meisterwerk. Schließlich kann man sich ja nicht aussuchen, wo der Mond unter geht, Doch wenn ich das Foto betrachte, erinnere ich mich wieder an diesen Moment dort oben auf dem Rauenstein im Elbsandsteingebirge und an meine Freude diese Szene eingefangen zu haben (Es war mein erstes Foto an diesem Morgen und ich war schon zufrieden).

Und diese Erinnerung macht das Foto zu etwas Besonderem für mich und ich hoffe, ich konnte ein bisschen was davon an Euch weiter geben.

Sitting in the living room, I heard a 'crash' then Kaiser came thundering into the living room as if the devil were on his tail. When I investigated I found the box in the middle of the room on its side. Not long before Kaiser had been sitting in it so, If I were to hazard a guess, I think that when he jumped out his huge backside got stuck and the box came with him. A few moments later, Pixie turned up and claimed it as hers whilst Kaiser gave me a 'see if I care' look, The box was meant for recycling but I think I will leave it where it is and see what happens next

Don′t wanna wait 'til tomorrow

Why put it off another day?

One by one, little problems

Build up, and stand in our way, oh!

 

One step ahead, one step behind it

Now you gotta run to get even

Make future plans I′ll dream about yesterday, hey!

Come on turn, turn this thing around

 

(Right now)

Hey! It's your tomorrow

(Right now)

Come on, it's everything

(Right now)

Catch your magic moment

Do it right here and now

It means everything

 

Miss a beat, you lose the rhythm

And nothin′ falls into place, aah

Only missed by a fraction

Slipped a little off your pace, oh!

 

The more things you get, the more you want

Just trade in one for another

Workin′ so hard to make it easy

Whoa, got to turn, come on, turn this thing around

 

(Right now)

Hey! It's your tomorrow

(Right now)

Come on, it′s everything

(Right now)

Catch that magic moment

Do it right here and now

It means everything

 

It's enlightened me

Right now

What are you waitin′ for?

Ohh, yeah

Right now

 

(Right now)

Hey! It's your tomorrow

(Right now)

Come on, it′s everything

(Right now)

Catch that magic moment

And do it right

(Right now)

Ohh, right now

 

It's what's happening

Right here and now

Right now, it′s right now

Ohh

Tell me, what are you waitin′ for?

 

Turn this thing around

Now is the time, she would say to herself at a certain moment, when without doing anything violent I can show the meaning of all this. And she would begin - how unmistakable that quickening is! - beckoning and summoning, and there would rise up in memory, half forgotten, perhaps quite trivial things in other chapters dropped by the way. And she would make their presence felt while some one sewed or smoked a pipe as naturally as possible, and one would feel, as she went on writing, as if one had gone to the top of the world and seen it laid out, very majestically, beneath.

Now, that the days are getting cooler... I feel a bit of relief from a hot, hot uncomfortable summer.🌻

On Friday, I had not long got into work when Phill rang to say that Kaiser was very distressed and had huge amounts of drool coming out of his mouth. When I got home he had run outside onto the lean to roof and there was lots of drool still coming out of his mouth. It took an age to coax him down but eventually I managed. I rang the vet and got an emergency appointment, but not until 11.00am. The drooling had subsided a little but he was still very distressed. The vet check him out and said that although his teeth were in good shape, he flinched when she touched one of them. She said that he might have banged it against something (perhaps Pixie thumped him!) Or it could have been he ate something that was mildly corrosive. He was given a painkilling injection and some Loxicom which he absolutely loves. He seems totally recovered now and we are keeping an eye on him for any changes. The vet advised to take him back in a week or two if nothing changes and they will check him out again. It gave us such a fright. I have had Kaiser from 6 weeks old. He is now 13 and has never been ill. Oh his weight is back up to 7 kilos *sigh*

The bouquet of roses which I mentioned earlier, which are now finally expired. Still looking lovely, though.

For several years in the early 1990’s, Amtrak would borrow some equipment from Chicago’s Metra to substitute for Amtrak trains on the Chicago to Milwaukee “Hiawatha” corridor for the busy travel time during Thanksgiving weekend. This would allow Amtrak to move the passenger cars and locomotives normally used on the run and expand capacity on other trains to handle increased holiday ridership. On November 30, 1991, Metra EMD E8(A) No. 515 and three bi-level commuter coaches on a northbound Amtrak train are arriving at the Sturtevant station stop in Wisconsin.

where our world falls to pieces and the moonlight starts to hide

in a million little splinters, in the corners of our mind

where endless colors they are swallowed by the sun

in a trail full of echoes just before they had begun

and fountains full of flowers on islands full of tears

weeping willows and fireworks, explode then disappear

Common green darners are emerging from the marshy habitats here at Lake Meyer Park now and they waste no time in finding mates and getting down to the business of making the next generation of common green darners. The female is sticking her eggs into that flooded weed stem while her husband holds her up.
