I've somehow become an over-sharer lately. So here it is, another vintage try of mine featuring my favourite old purse, made of hand-linked tiny silver rings from fin-de-siecle or thereabouts.

Have a fabulous day or evening, wherever you may be my friends!

CSX D79522 passes the farm inside the horseshoe curve just west of Fairfield on CSX's Hanover Sub. The train is climbing a steep uphill grade that often brings trains to its knees, but today they have enough power to take the hill at track speed.

Another slide from the past given an oil painting make over.

56053 ‘Sir Morgannwg Ganol/ County of Mid Glamorgan’ heads past the 1898-built Barry Docks Offices with an empty coal train from Barry to Tower colliery.

 

Even though most Welsh coal mines had closed by 1994, residual coal traffic, particularly serving the power station at Aberthaw generated plenty of rail traffic. On this day (unusually busy) Sunday, Aberthaw received 7 trains: 2 from Tower, 4 from Cwmbargoed and 1 from Jersey Marine.

 

The impressive building, in the baroque revival style, was built to regulate the vast coal traffic that flowed out of Barry in the early 20th century. Prior to the first world war Barry was the busiest coal port in the world. Over 11 million tonnes of coal per year were being shipped through Barry with more than 18,000 employees working the docks.

 

The building was in good repair in 1994: 10 years earlier a fire had seriously damaged the structure, and the port owner had recently completed an extensive refurbishment. In 2021, the building houses part of the Vale of Glamorgan Council.

The ruin of Splügen Castle.

Misty start to the day. I had lined up the Moon where I wanted it to be when I had an unexpected fly-past......

Snow-filled benches seen on my sub-zero last day of Autumn walk to Waterfront and Bewicke Parks via The Spirit Trail.

 

These wintry scenes are now a thing of the past since our temperatures have now warmed up to +12C and the recent rains have all but washed away all the snow in low lying coastal areas of North Vancouver. The wonders of Nature never cease to amaze me.

Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

As my feet walk me forward with purpose, I glance back at what I was, and whom I had been. There is no shame or regret, just the knowledge that I was. The new light beacons me forward, and I smile.

I am so grateful for your visits and comments. However, due to time constraints I will NO LONGER be posting in award groups other than the MasterClass groups. Thank you to all the hard working admins who have invited my work in the past.

Distressed,neglected and abandoned ,this decaying building still has some photographic appeal.The crumbling brickwork,the peeling paint and fading colour contrasts full of chararacter in my eyes.This is a first floor door and window and small platform,I can only assume it was a warehouse in some past life.

For the past three weeks, this LIEG seems to enjoy the company of one of the Glossy Ibises that flies back and forth between the three ponds at the AWR. Whenever the GLIB flies back to her pond, she will immediately fly over to where the GLIB is fishing or foraging and trail very closely behind... The GLIB doesn't seem to mind and they walk around together while the GLIB is poking and digging for food... I wonder if there is a name for this behavior? I have seen it before with other wader and shore birds as well... not to mention people...

Decided to create this group shot for fun with our sweet Max in it too! A canvas for the wall i think! :)
