Good to catch a few Bearded Reedlings this morning as they start to form groups at the same time they start to feed on the seed
The light shines through the window onto the mantelpiece. It's a gentle light and it slowly warms up its surroundings. Ages ago the old farm house was in full bloom and there were sounds of horses and people tending them. It was a happy place but at the same time it was a harsh and hard place. Its still the same light that shines through the window but the people and horses are now gone. When you look through the window you feel like you looking into the past. You can imagine what they saw and what they felt, ages ago while tending to their chores. It's a window from the past.

Abstract taken of a spiral ramp onto a foot bridge in Uxbridge. An abandoned trolley can be spotted on the left. The litter at the bottom reminds me of stars.
I was deep into the forest out by Little Creek tracking some juvenile bald eagles, then this little happy guy approaches me wagging his tail and flipping onto his back for a belly rub. I'm probably miles from the nearest house. He's got no collar but looks relatively well-fed and hydrated. He followed me around for a bit but then went on his merry way.

Storms cause our flowers to bloom
Clouds like the smoke in the room
My mind is not where it should be
Grey skies made a mess out of me
This pain, these problems
You know they're not forever
My love, my sweetheart
We're on to better weather
It can't rain forever
Some days it will pour
Love is the best umbrella
It can't rain forever
No-o-o-o
It can't rain forever
No-o-o-o
It can't rain forever
NEW "Spring" Singles Poses coming SOON to The Liaison Collaborative from oOo Studio!
My first attempt at capturing this stone arch from an adjacent footbridge, had the sun reflecting too intensely down onto the brook. We tried again an hour later and the light was less severe. However, a steady stream of hikers wanting to cross the single file bridge had me frequently moving out of the way and every time someone set foot on it, the wooden structure moved. I finally crawled under the bridge to get this point of view. I'll have to try again on an overcast day when it's not so late in the year and much of the foliage is in full bloom.
The original mill, built here in the mid 19th century, ground lime in much the same way a grist mill produced grain. This arch is an original feature of the mill race and you really have to admire the masons that cut and fit the stones together to make it last this long. The Halton Hills Branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, strongly requests that people stay clear of the arch to assist in it’s preservation.
So after climbing down a ladder onto the rocks beside Sydney Harbour, to take sunset pictures, I then returned to the car just a little beyond twilight. The car was parked along Milson Road at Cremorne Point. I had to kill people to get this car spot so close to the harbour. lol.
However, as I passed by the cluster of 1930s Art Deco apartments on Wulworra Avenue, I glimpsed - through the narrow alleyways between these apartment blocks - the city lit up like jewels in Aladdin's Cave.
I thought it might make a 'different' kind of portrayal of the city - from Cremorne Point. It was a little eerie in this alleyway as dark descended. Twilight had all but disappeared. Hence I called this 'Sydney noir'.
And here's a little glimpse of the inside of the apartment directly to the left (above) of where I took this photograph.

Bergh Castle or in Dutch Huis Bergh, in 's-Heerenberg, is one of the largest castles in Gelderland, The Netherlands. It gives its name to the Land van den Bergh and was previously owned by the Counts Van den Bergh.
The building history dates back to the 13th century. The main parts of the castle are from the 14th, 15th and 17th century. In the beginning of the Dutch Revolt the house got damaged by war. In 1735 the castle burned down.
In 1912 Huis Bergh and all belongings became the property of Jan Herman van Heek, an industrialist from Enschede.
He restored the buildings. In 1939 there was another major fire. Thanks to the help of locals most of the furniture was rescued. Renovation began the same year and was completed in 1941.

thanks to hailey who laid in the neighbours driveway and helped with this.
With the final fall colors in the area hanging onto for a few more days, the E&LS (Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad) is swapps a cut of cars from Kimberly-Clark in Marinette.
After swapping cars in Marinette, they will shove back over the river into Menominee.
This gives you a good idea about the condition of rails and ties representing the line used to run west all the way to Crivitz, but has mostly only used for storage cars as grass has taken over most of it.

CN 3115 ventured onto UP rails last month, leading manifest MPSHO 14 from Parsons, KS to Settegast Yard. Unfortunately, the train arrived under some terrible mostly-cloudy lighting conditions. I was able to get this shot of the train rolling past the west end of Englewood Yard on the Houston Sub main, thanks to a pop-up storm that prevented this scene from being entirely backlit. Not exactly the shot I had hoped for, but it was neat to finally shoot one of CN's heritage units.

This fox sparrow briefly flew from the ground onto this branch, then moved on to another grazing ground.
Looking south onto the Hole of Horcum, North York Moors.
The National Park provide some insight into this natural feature:
"The Hole of Horcum is one of the most spectacular features in the North York Moors National Park – a huge
natural amphitheatre 400 feet deep and more than half a mile across.
Legends hang
easily upon a place known as the ‘Devil’s Punchbowl’ – the best-known says that it was
formed when Wade the Giant scooped up a handful of earth to throw at his wife during
an argument.
Actually, it was created by a process called spring-sapping, whereby water
welling up from the hillside has gradually undermined the slopes above, eating the rocks
away grain by grain. Over thousands of years, a once narrow valley has widened and
deepened into an enormous cauldron – and the process still continues today."

Coming off the loop track and onto the main so they could back into the siding and then ultimately into the upper yard at Cresson.
I am taking a few weeks break and I hope to be back posting again towards the end of May.
I leave you with another photo of a Robber Crab from Christmas Island. This one, I found clinging onto a side of a rock and that allowed me to photograph it from an interesting angle.

MBRX 5152 pulls train YS1 out onto the NS Youngstown Line for headroom in NS's Haselton Yard as it drops a cut of sand and tanker cars. The train would later run onto the track seen to the right, and through the old P&LE Gateway Yard, where we would shoot them next on their way to CSX. 15M would also make an appearance here.

Atlantic seaside resort town in Southern Maine. The town is home of Palace Playland, an amusement park that dates back to 1902 and occupies four acres of beachfront.
Attractions included "The Carousel," with hand-carved wooden horses from Germany, beautifully painted and gold-leaf accented. "The Jack and Jill“ consisted of a large bucket that hoisted two people to the top of a 50 foot slide and dumped them out. Dominating the park was “Noah’s Ark,” a huge ark-shaped funhouse that rocked back and forth while parents hung onto their little ones straining to run through the below-deck passages.
A fire in 1969, reportedly started by a penny that replaced a fuse, consumed the park.
I couldn't bring myself photograph the cookie-cutter attractions that now make up Palace Playland. Those childhood pictures of unique charm and character exist only in my mind.
Moving onto the largest building, we wandered through spaces that would probably become office space. Taking the staircase to the roof we looked across to the edge of the site - was that a security camera pointing directly at us? Of course it was - well that was our dumb faces captured for posterity once again.
Having been given permission back out onto the main, the engineer on the "Rosario Local" throttles up his two SD40s while the brakeman waits to re-line the derail once the short train is clear. They've just finished switching Nustar Asphalt, which can be seen in the far right of this shot. This track is part of the pre-1966 AT&SF alignment, which generally followed the Rio Galisteo from near its confluence with the Rio Grande towards Lamy.
This was the culmination of a one year long desire and about a four hour wait. I had seen this shot in my head ever since beginning my time qualifying out of Albuquerque, but it was either "they don't run up here anymore" or (once regular, predictable service resumed) I was always working when this job was working. Everything fell together today though, and it was worth waiting for!
Like three years ago, starting the new season with a wonderful and enchanting Hubble's Variable Nebula (NGC 2261)
Previous approach: www.flickr.com/photos/olegbr/8552071862/in/dateposted/
I wanted to personally check whether it still variable ...
It was found that this is so :)
Here animation L-channel 200%: olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Of course, 3 years - a very large interval for observing the changes in the nebula. Everything is much faster: www.umanitoba.ca/science/astronomy/cbrown/imaging/hvn/ana...
In 2013-2016 animation, I drew attention to the star just above the nebula, which is for 3 years significantly shifted to the right.
To heighten the effect, combined with the current picture image DSS., For about 60 years, the offset is already pretty decent. olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Here www.astrosurf.com/mcianci/ngc2261.html Italian colleague calculated that the proper motion (proper motion) of the star 0.2" per year. The name is NLTT 16798 and is listed as High Proper Motion Star: simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=NLTT+16798
Explanation: What causes Hubble's Variable Nebula to vary? The unusual nebula pictured above changes its appearance noticeably in just a few weeks. Discovered over 200 years ago and subsequently cataloged as NGC 2661, the remarkable nebula is named for Edwin Hubble, who studied it earlier this century. Hubble's Variable Nebula is a reflection nebula made of gas and fine dust fanning out from the star R Monocerotis. The faint nebula is about one light-year across and lies about 2500 light-years away towards the constellation of Monocerotis. A leading variability explanation for Hubble's Variable Nebula holds that dense knots of opaque dust pass close to R Mon and cast moving shadows onto the reflecting dust seen in the rest of the nebula.

When we pulled onto the car park so I could take this shot, it became apparent very quickly that it wasn’t going to be easy. Firstly I was shooting straight into the sun, even though it was behind a cloud the photo isn’t great. Secondly it was blowing a Gale, standing upright and keeping the camera steady was almost impossible.
March Haigh reservoir is located on Marsden Moor in the Kirklees District of West Yorkshire. It’s 332 meters (1089 feet) above sea level, it is only accessible on foot, a walk of around 1 mile. It was originally constructed to feed the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and can hold 71 million gallons of water. The canal runs for approximately 20 miles from Huddersfield in the east, it rises 134 metres through 42 locks to Marsden, where it enters Standedge Tunnel, which is the longest, deepest and highest canal tunnel in the country. The moorland surrounding the reservoir is a site of Special Scientific Interest.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
A carnivorous animal in the same family as weasels, badgers, mink etc. that lives primarily on a diet of fish but also includes frogs, crayfish, crabs and even a few waterfowl.
A coat of long guard hairs over their insulated underfur keeps them warm and dry so they can stay comfortable throughout the North American winters. They are very successful at hunting prey in our rivers, streams and ponds aided by their webbed feet, long muscular tail and sharp claws coupled with the ability to hold their breath for extended periods. As a preventative measure to becoming waterlogged they do spend a lot of time on land and enter the water only to hunt or travel much unlike the sea otters that spend most of their lives in the ocean. An overland sprint of 10 to 18 miles while searching for prey is not uncommon.
River otters seem to have the ability to live alone or in pairs but are quick to socialize in groups when other members are encountered. After mating and going through a gestation period of 80 - 90 days a female will give birth to 1 - 5 pups in a den called a holt or couch which she excavates under tree roots or a cache of rocks. Prior to the birth the female called a bitch or sow will drive the male (dog or boar) away and the pups or cubs will be tended to by the female and older offspring if still around. The pups will begin emerging from the den at about 1 month of age and mom will entice them into the water for their first swim at about 2 months. After the pups are weaned dad may return and help raise the juveniles until probably 1 year of age. Females attain sexual maturity at 2 years of age and males at 3.
River otters range in size from 10 to 33 lbs and 2.5 to 5 ' in length with females being about 1/3 the size of males. When not hunting prey they spend much time playing and frolicking with each other. This individual is one of a trio that has clawed its way onto the ice to enjoy the spoils caught underwater.
BNSF's RSP38-2 moves around the Westwood yard and onto the main. Crews were testing it to make sure it works in case it is needed later in the season.
This is a night photograph of Jewel in Singapore Changi Airport. It is an entertainment and retail complex linked to three of the airport’s passenger terminals. The showpiece is the world's tallest indoor waterfall which is surrounded by a terraced forest setting. There are colourful laser projections onto the waterfall synchronised with music every hour from 7.30pm daily.
I managed to finish work a little early . So I drove out onto Romney Marsh Looking for Little Owls they were not showing . Thus started my Red Letter two hours ! 1/ Barn owl very close 2/ a Marsh harrier in flight 3/ this Buzzard asking for a photo 4/ a Woodpecker as I sat under a tree looking for the little owls that I never got to see today . I have often spent a day getting a shot of one of these birds on the above list let alone all four in two hours
Very warm again today, managed to sneak a walk in under the trees earlier in the day. Different faces of nature recorded!
Our cottage was the second to go onto our lake, my Father-in-Law built it in 1976 from reclaimed materials he collect over his career working for the school board maintenance dept. and seeing several demolished schools headed for the landfill he was green when it wasn’t cool.
This shot is off our floating dock looking back towards our waterline to the side of the property and this horizontal willow is one of many willows that dot our shoreline along with as many birch as the beaver will spare up and down the hillsides all planted in the early 80’s by Eryk when he was in his late 50’s-early 60’s.
Eryk was born a Szyszlo in the Polish Belarus area and immigrated to the Ottawa area after fighting in WWII with the Free Polish Army, he brought with him his love of these native trees replicating a little bit of Poland right in Renfrew County.
The cottage is our oasis and a much needed escape bubble probably a big part of keeping my sanity 2020, it is also a subject that I could capture in every season, all lighting conditions and be extraordinarily happy for the gorgeous model, it is a small blessing all thanks to those that came before us.
I took this on Sept 22, 2020 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30mm 2.8 Lens at 26mm 1/6 sec f/11 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

The trip to Cornwall was great but hardly any blue skies and very moody conditions most of the time. This was taken at Kynance Cove on the Lizard Peninsula when the sun briefly made an appearance. Hanging onto the tripod with grim determination to get a LE shot!
