Sentosa Island offers stressed-out locals and probably also tourists a wonderful infrastructure to relax. Hotels, restaurants, pools, a skywalk, beaches with palms and much more. There is even “The Most Southern Point of Continental Asia”.

Odin offers the völva his necklace and ring as payment for telling him the future. She then begins to inform him about the creation of the world, the first gods and people, as well as the end of the world – Ragnarök, when gods will do battle with giants. The seeress also describes how after Ragnarök, the all-destructive war, the world will rise again. But she also sees that evil will return to the world.

Vanuatu consists of 83 islands and has much to offer; active volcanoes, tropical beaches, dense rainforests, a very rich culture and amazingly friendly people. Of the several islands I visited, the island of Tanna has undoubtedly made the biggest impression on me. The whole island is covered with black volcanic ash deposited by Mount Yasur, an active volcano that has been erupting almost continuously for more than 800 years.
My accommodation on the island consists of a treehouse not far from Mount Yasur. The treehouse is hidden in thick forest, just high enough to be able to see the volcano through the foliage. I can hear its rumbling all day, and from my bed at night, I can see it shooting red burning lava high into the air.
The view on the other hand is almost equally impressive. Several times there appears a rainbow above the with rainforest covered hills. Together with the dull rumbling of the volcano, the swallows flying around, the deep black soil covered with large tree ferns and the chickens scratching around the forest floor this makes for a special, almost prehistoric feel.

After an offer of a cab ride while they loaded the last half of the train, they blasted off from the loadout. I recall they said they very rarely saw railfans at the time. Seems I chased to the Cow Springs curve and opted to swing by Monument Valley that afternoon and end up in Helper UT that night!
Ford offered a 5cwt Van version of the Ford Model Y from 1932 to 1937 with the 933cc sidevalve engine. In 1936 Ford commercials adopted the name 'Fordson'. The Model Y was developed into the English-designed Ford 7Y 8hp in 1937 and a 5cwt Fordson Van was based on this model.

Katharine Docks, situated on the east side of Tower Bridge, is a tranquil oasis that offers a variety of dining and leisure activities. Despite being located close to the Tower of London; this serene location has managed to maintain its peaceful environment. St Katharine Docks has a rich history, dating back to the 12th Century, and continues to serve as a bustling hub for boats, as well as a popular destination for locals and tourists to unwind and have fun.
St Katharine Docks took their name from the former hospital of St Katharine's by the Tower, built in the 12th century, which stood on the site. An intensely built-up area, the entire 23-acre (9.5 hectares) Precinct of St Katharine by the Tower and part of East Smithfield, was earmarked for redevelopment by an act of Parliament, the St. Katharine's Dock Act 1825, with construction commencing in May 1827. Some 1,250 houses were demolished, together with the medieval hospital of St. Katharine. Around 11,300 inhabitants, mostly port workers crammed into unsanitary slums, lost their homes; only the property owners received compensation. The scheme was designed by engineer Thomas Telford and was his only major project in London. George Turnbull and James Waylen were working for Telford. To create as much quayside as possible, the docks were designed in the form of two linked basins (East and West), both accessed via an entrance lock from the Thames. Steam engines designed by James Watt and Matthew Boulton kept the water level in the basins about four feet above that of the tidal river. By 1830, the docks had cost over £2 million to build.
Telford aimed to minimise the amount of quayside activity and specified that the docks' warehouses (designed by the architect Philip Hardwick) be built right on the quayside so that goods could be unloaded directly into them.
The docks were officially opened on 25 October 1828. Although well used, they were not a great commercial success and were unable to accommodate large ships. They were amalgamated in 1864 with the neighbouring London Docks. In 1909, the Port of London Authority took over the management of almost all of the Thames docks, including St Katharine Dock. By the 1930s the only regular use was by ships of the General Steam Navigation Company.
St Katharine Docks were badly damaged by German bombing during the Second World War. All the warehouses around the eastern basin were destroyed, and the site they had occupied remained derelict until the 1960s.
The dock entrance lock was rebuilt in 1957 but the docks ceased commercial use in 1968. The remaining wharehouses on the western side were demolished to make way for redevelopment.
Vyšehrad is the oldest seat of Czech princes; in fact, the local settlement was established in the mid-10 th century. Situated on a rocky promontory above the Vltava River, it offers stunning views of the city, and the park area holds hidden architectural treasures including the rare Romanesque Rotunda of St Martin, the neo-Gothic Church of Sts Peter and Paul, the national cemetery Slavín, and the underground casements housing the some of the original Baroque statues from the Charles Bridge.

Wakefield Cathedral offered tours of their tower as part of the Heritage Weekend and I took the opportunity to go up and take a photo of the amazing view over the city.
They are only able to offer tours of the tower periodically because of the peregrines that nest in a box made at Sheffield University: wakefieldnaturalists.org/?page_id=1491
I took the tower tour last year and uploaded the resulting photos. This year I only produced one image, in which I wanted to show as much of the city as possible. (Last year's photos are in this album: www.flickr.com/photos/crutchleyrhodes/albums/721576486989... )
In the centre of this 12-shot panoramic image, stitched in photoshop, you can see the spire of the Town Hall, a Grade I listed building in the middle of Wakefield's Civic Quarter.

Even the snow here has personality. It crunches under her boots with such confidence that it clearly plans to stick around until March — even maybe April.
And somehow, without warning, she matches the whole scene perfectly.
Not planned. Not even a little.
But velvet and bows and soft winter textures just feel right in a place where magic has clearly taken over the décor department.

This high-angle shot offers an intimate look at a twin cascade, where a mountain stream splits and pours over rugged, dark rock faces into a swirling pool below. The composition emphasizes the texture of the geology—lichen-spattered stones, jagged edges, and deep crevices—contrasted against the white, energetic froth of the water.
The fast shutter speed captures the "stop-motion" effect of the falls, turning the water into a crystalline spray. The surrounding environment is rich with temperate greenery, including mosses, ferns, and overhanging tree branches that frame the top of the frame, suggesting a secluded, hidden spot deep within a valley.

The summer time offers more light to chase the Manchester Turn out of Cedar Rapids, on duty 17:00 during the week. While traffic has really hit the dumps with the virus stuff going on, the Cedar Rapids corridor has stayed steady for the most part. Even enough traffic this week for a 2nd motor to find it's way to CR. With that being the case we chased the Friday night job out of town with a decent set of CN power. Here the job tops the grade near MP 6, a few miles north of Ryan as the shadows get long on their northbound trip. At Manchester 567 will trade trains with 565 who is working west out of Dubuque.

One of the pleasures of this hobby is simply hanging around in the sunshine, enjoying the landscape, the wildlife, playing with your dog and having a natter with a few fellow photographers.
Sadly the conversation often turns to how much better things used to be and how much effort we now have to put in simply for one shot of something that was once so commonplace.
Regrettably another rail traffic loss is the flow from Haverton Hill/Lindsey to Preston Docks. The wagons have now gone into store at the former MOD Eastriggs sidings for an uncertain fate.
So for today's effort to capture that final move of the wagons into storage, I thought I'd choose somewhere that the original 6M43/6E43 didn't run.
With 18 bogie tank wagons on the hook, 56113 climbs the 1 in 100 through Rimington with 6Z72, 08.24 Preston Ribble to Carlisle North Yard, running 57 minutes late at this point.
Longridge Fell can be seen in the distance along with the smoke and chimney of Castle Cement, Clitheroe.
Officially offered for sale on February 10, 1955, the first Chrysler 300 was athletic looking with 300 gross horsepower aboard, it was among the quickest cars of its time. It was able to achieve 60 mph in just 9.8 seconds, according to a test in Mechanix Illustrated by “Uncle Tom” McCahill. Uncle Tom also spurred the car up to a full 130 MPH. Tom McCahill and others in the contemporary automotive press used the term Beautiful Brutes” to describe Chrysler 300 series cars.
Besides being the most powerful production car of its time, the first Chrysler 300 was also among the best handling, thanks to a heavy-duty suspension. It can very well be considered an ancestor of the later muscle cars, though much more expensive, luxurious and exclusive.
The most prominent display of the first 300’s attributes did not come in any showroom, but on racetracks around the Southeast. Back in 1955, NASCAR stock cars were, in fact, stock production vehicles. Except for some crude safety equipment and numbers on the doors, they were almost indistinguishable from the cars the public could buy. With absolutely no financial support from Chrysler, Mercury Outboard founder Carl Kieckhaefer campaigned a fleet of white 300s during the 1955 NASCAR and AAA seasons with drivers like the Flock brothers (Tim, Fonty and Bob), Norm Nelson, Buck Baker, Speedy Thompson and Frank Mundy to name a few.
The Kieckhaefer 300s were spectacularly dominant and overwhelmed the factory-backed Chevrolets and Fords. Tim Flock took the driver’s championship while winning 18 races. He finished in the top five an astounding 32 times. His brother, Fonty, took another three victories, while Chrysler campaigner Lee Petty took home three trophies. Suddenly, the 300 had a glorious racing heritage in addition to its advertised Hundred Million Dollar Look.
Considering the short model year for that first 300, 1,725 were sold at an expensive $4,109 base price.
This was the car to start the legacy. Virgil Exner, then Chrysler's design chief, called his new styling direction "The Forward Look". The 1955 300 had a 2 door coupe body and clean, simple Chrysler Windsor side and rear quarter trim. Up front were two large Imperial “egg crate” grilles. This first of the letter series cars did not actually bear a letter. Chrysler’s original manuals named it the C-300, which was an appropriate name for the car. The “C-” designation was applied to all Chrysler models, and the 300 stood for the engine horsepower.
It was THE first modern American production car to achieve this 300hp output. Power came from an updated source already available; the fabled “Hemi” 331 cubic inch hemispherical head engine, modified with a “full race” cam, solid lifters, larger dual exhaust, and topped off with 2 4-barrel carburetors. The suspension was made firmer, allowing it to handle far better than most cars. It was given a special performance PowerFlite 2-speed automatic transmission, while the inside remained pure luxury.
Notably, it was fast. The battle lines would be drawn when it ran 127.58 MPH in the flying mile on the sands at Daytona Speed Weeks, and averaged 92 mph in the Daytona Grand National stock car race. This car dominated the stock car circuit, earning the NASCAR and AAA championships its first year out.
The car was available in three standard exterior colors: Black, Tango Red and Platinum, combined with a luxurious tan leather interior.

Often winter offers a silent and magical solitude. Winter, on this dune, along the lakeshore is peaceful and filled with most beautiful textures. I sat in the sun, amongst the drifted dunes and felt very well-balanced. This is not my home but rarely do I leave this place. Though I wander, this gifted place is never very far from my thoughts. Ever changing is the beauty that really is never complete here. Hidden here is a secret and sacred peace. You must come…..
🙏 Honestly, you could offer me 500 Million Dollar 💵 for my dream, and I wouldn't sell it for a billion. Money is money, once you've understood how it works, you can always make it back by creating value for others. With a billion dollars you could buy anything in the world, EXCEPT for loyal friends, a partner you love and a dream from the bottom of your heart & soul 🔥💯🐬isn't much left to spend money on, is there? 💯💯💎💴💵💶
Winter's Hollow offers everything you need to celebrate the winter holidays if your celebration tends to be on the Mystical and Gothic or Victorian side.

Iceland offers some stark but beautiful landscape and scenes. In this case a shot of the beautiful little church at Skútustaðir on the shores of Lake Myvatn. I was wrong side for the light here but decided that the snow covered hill in the background provided a worthwhile backdrop.
We went to visit the Point Bonita Lighthouse for sunset. The National Park Service offers monthly sunset walks at the Point Bonita Lighthouse in the Marin Headlands, north of San Francisco. The tour is limited to 50 people and fills up quickly, so make your reservations early if you'd like to go.
Ahead of time, I calculated good spots to witness the moonrise somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area. Moonrise was at 20:03 at 95°, 45 minutes after sunset. The Point Bonita Lighthouse turned out to be the best choice - you can walk along the trail to position yourself so that the moon aligned with the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, merged/blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. The dynamic range is extremely large on this shot - there are 11.3 stops between the bright bracket exposure (for foreground) and dark bracket exposure (for moon). I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

The Gwacheon National Science Museum offers a fascinating window into the Ice Age through its exhibition on the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius).
The display features an imposing reconstruction of an adult mammoth, which could reach 3.5 meters in length and 2.5 tons in weight, along with the characteristics that allowed it to survive in frigid climates, such as its dense fur and a thick layer of fat.
Alongside this representation, the jewel of the collection is the real skeleton of "TIMA", a young woolly mammoth. Discovered in the Omsk region of southern Siberia, this specimen was approximately 7 years old and measured 1.8 meters in height at the shoulder. A crucial detail confirming its authenticity is that the skeleton is composed of more than 80% real bone, making it a genuine specimen and not a replica. Its affectionate name, "TIMA," was chosen by the public in a contest and is a combination of the English words "Tiny" and "Mammoth".
• Woolly Mammoth
• Mamut lanudo, elefante lanudo, mamut de la tundra
Scientific Classification:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Proboscidea
Family: Elephantidae
Genus: Mammuthus †
Species: M. primigenius †
The Woolly Mammoth is an extinct species of elephant that was widespread during the last Ice Age. A close relative of modern elephants, it was famously adapted to survive in the cold, harsh environments of the Pleistocene epoch. These adaptations included a body covered in long, shaggy hair, a thick layer of subcutaneous fat for insulation, and ears that were significantly smaller than those of today's elephants to minimize heat loss. Adults could stand about 3.5 meters tall and possessed enormous, curved tusks that could reach over 4 meters in length.
These massive herbivores roamed the vast, cold, dry grasslands known as the "mammoth steppe," which stretched across North America, Europe, and Asia. Their diet consisted of grasses, shrubs, and the branches of trees. While most populations went extinct around 10,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change and human hunting, some small, isolated groups survived on remote islands until as recently as 4,000 years ago.
Had to kill some time waiting while the car was serviced, so I dashed to the Read Rock Garden to see what on offer for this snowy spring. MANY blossoms! Got off my tush and looked it up, it's a Puschkinia scilloides (Striped Squill).
Snapping around with the mobile. Sweden really offer a great variation of marvelous situations and scapes. I don't have time for dsrl shooting and can´t wait for long exposures for scene like this one but it will be in the future. Last days in Sweden after having done lot of things before the move the 15th of June. You all understand that, at the moment, I only have time for this kind of photos and to say hi. Hope you are all doing well.
Edit 08/06: won't post so many pictures but I'll try to play catch up a bit...

Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar are the only two places in the whole of Tibet that were visited by Lord Buddha, accompanied by five hundred Arhats. During the turning of the Three Wheels of the Dharma, Buddha Shakyamuni extensively explained the merits of building images. So Indra (the king of gods) offered precious articles of the gods, Ananda (the king of Serpents or Nagas) offered precious articles of the Nagas and Bimbisara (the king of Magadh) offered gold and silver, etc. to the Buddha and requested him to have three images of the Buddha made, as a means of generating merit for the sentient beings in the future. The total distance, covered in a complete circumambulation of Mount Kailash according to the route charted by Gotsangpa, is 52km and takes about 13 to 15 hours. Tibetan pilgrims generally start early in the morning and complete one circumambulation by nightfall. Most Tibetan pilgrims do three to thirteen circumambulations of Mount Kailash. There are some who do 108 circumambulations of Mount Kailash. tibet-incense.com/blog/circling-kailash-and-manasarovar/
It’s difficult to close the door on the things that once made us happy, that offered bright promise during dark times. Things that helped us find love or hope or happiness.
But the hard truth is that not everything can last forever and things end; sometimes abruptly, sometimes fading away slowly until they’re just a speck disappearing in the distance. We can’t hold onto things forever, no matter how firmly we fix our grasp upon them. We can’t force people to stay and seldom can we control the situations we find ourselves in.
But what we can do is remember one simple, undeniable reality. And that is that new prospects will always arise from the end of something else. That it’s okay to let go of something that ends, even when it’s devastatingly painful. Even when it’s something that seems like it’s being yanked away from you before you’re ready. The ending of things will sometimes feel excruciating, even when we deep down know that it’s the right thing, the only thing.
Who has ever started something new, something exciting, without finishing something first? It’s only when we’re defeated by the prospect of something ending that we think to pull ourselves up and move forward. Life is a process, a series of ups and downs. A sequence of unpredictable happenings. It’s not black and white and most of the events that fill up the timeline of our lives are very rarely planned or expected.
But isn’t that the whole point? Isn’t that what life is meant to be about? The things that end and the new opportunities that come out of them. The ways in which we fight and struggle and conquer and overcome.
One day you will wake up and it won’t hurt so bad. That you’ll go through entire days without playing out that ending in your mind. That soon there will be whole stretches of time when it never even crosses your mind, until one day it’s just an uncomfortable memory.
Know that one day you will look back and see that event not as the end, but as a starting point. As the pivot that turned everything around. As the thing that gave you the courage to try something new, something that would come to a beautiful fruition.
Let yourself realize that every wonderful thing that you’ve experienced is so because something else ended, not in spite of it.
Things will end, while others are just beginning.
The area around Fort Madison offers alot of neat things to shoot from the ground and air. The Chillicothe Sub takes off from the BNSF depot and runs along the Mississippi River for a few miles before crossing it into Illinois. In those few miles the railroad passes the ATSF old depot and the city park full of interesting items. Here a Northtown to Kansas City freight slowly makes its way off the river bridge and west towards KC. Crews on Galesburg type trains will run thru Fort Madison to KC and not change crews, like this NTWKCK will do.

Offered once again as a comparison to the preceding image of Amtrak 662 which was captured at nearly the same angle over 23 years later. Amtrak 916 leads a regional consist east through Edison, NJ. Based on the time of day and consist, this may have been train 95, the Old Dominion. Back then trains still carried names, although the "Northeast Direct" designation (a precursor to today's Northeast Regional service) did appear in the timetable as well.

The Mirador Ferrier Lookout offers views with a unique perspective of Lake Grey, the Paine River, the massifs and their snow-capped peaks, and everything that Torres del Paine has to offer. Torres del Paine National Park, in Chile’s Patagonia region, is known for its soaring mountains, bright blue icebergs that cleave from glaciers and golden pampas (grasslands) that shelter rare wildlife such as llama-like guanacos. Some of its most iconic sites are the 3 granite towers from which the park takes its name and the horn-shaped peaks called Cuernos del Paine.
