Connecticut Southern CSO-5 builds it’s train in Hartford Yard with what is widely considered the best possible lashup to get on this railroad by buffs in the area. Former LMX B39-8E #8530 leading, and then after that P&W B23-7R “Super 7” #2215 trailing second, 2215 is the only Super 7 operational outside of Ohio as well (8/17/22).
In the late 80s, all NZs 'named trains' were being refurbished and rebranded based on the success of the Tranz Alpine.
Obviously not all the carriages could be done at once, so for a while the Southerner, which was pretty low on the priority list, ran around with a mix of cars from all over the place.
In this example there is a car-van (possibly from the Picton train), an original Southerner car and a refurbished example (but with small windows rather than the panoramic glass installed on most other cars - perhaps this was one of the a backpackers cars?).
The traditional 56-foot guards van has been replaced with a red FM van for luggage at the back. The FMs were fairly new guard's vans used on freight trains until the move to two-man train crews ended that a year or so before.
1988? DF 6064 DJ 3107 + 3286 Ravensbourne, Dunedin, SIMT-NZ. An old negative. Other than the changed rolling stock, this view from the old overbridge is possible today - the foreground sidings have gone, replaced by a walk/cycleway, and the boats for the fertilizer works still come and go!
The bicycle in the foreground most likely belongs to a staff member working in this wing of the old Mount Royal Hospital in Parkville, Melbourne. When nurses were living in the rooms up the ramp on the left, it is quite possible to imagine they also owned a few bicycles to get around with.
In its prime, this little courtyard would have been like a lovely cloister to a medical community dealing with the various needs of their (mostly geriatric) patients in the main section around the large courtyard I showed you a few days ago.
The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
A possible choice for the Monday Macro Group. The theme is Spirals. These are corn skewers standing on end with side lighting. The skewers are about 1.5" tall.
I like to use f/22 to get as much detail as possible. And, the hummingbirds had already flown so I had time to change the settings. 😉

Egret normally stay in or near water all the time. But this one is in the woods, an oaktree forest.
Not a bird shooter, but found this snow egret intriguing. It was a distant shot even w/ my Nikkor 200mm, but I used all possible techniques to achieve a pin sharp bird image while blurring surrounding tree branches to present the subject in an Autumn atmosphere.
Ciudad Encantada, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La Ciudad Encantada es un paraje natural español de formaciones rocosas calcáreas o calizas formadas a lo largo de miles de años. Se localiza cerca de Valdecabras, en el término municipal de Cuenca (España), en una amplia zona de pinares de la parte meridional de la serranía conquense y a una altitud de 1500 metros.
Fue declarada Sitio Natural de Interés Nacional el 11 de junio de 1929. La acción del agua, el viento y el hielo ha hecho posible este fenómeno kárstico. La heterogeneidad de las rocas en cuanto a su morfología, composición química y grado de dureza es lo que ha permitido el desgaste desigual de las mismas por los elementos atmosféricos, dando como resultado una muestra sorprendente de arte pintoresco proveniente de la misma naturaleza. A las caprichosas y espectaculares formaciones existentes hay que sumar lapiaces, torcas y sumideros.
Comparte estas características especialmente con "Los Callejones", paraje ubicado en el término municipal de Las Majadas. Ambos lugares forman parte del parque natural Serranía de Cuenca, creado mediante la Ley de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.
The Enchanted City is a Spanish natural area of calcareous or limestone rock formations formed over thousands of years. It is located near Valdecabras, in the municipality of Cuenca (Spain), in a wide area of pine forests in the southern part of the Cuenca mountains and at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
It was declared a Natural Site of National Interest on June 11, 1929. The action of water, wind and ice has made this karstic phenomenon possible. The heterogeneity of the rocks in terms of their morphology, chemical composition and degree of hardness is what has allowed their uneven wear by atmospheric elements, resulting in a surprising sample of picturesque art from nature itself. To the whimsical and spectacular existing formations we must add lapiaces, torques and sinkholes.
It shares these characteristics especially with "Los Callejones", a place located in the municipality of Las Majadas. Both places are part of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park, created by the Law of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.

It's not always possible to shoot in beautiful morning or evening light. On such occasions lighting can get harsh.
One solution is to shoot high key images such as seen here. By overexposing multiple stops and doing some work in post-processing, one can get results like this from the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.

While it is strictly forbidden to access the still operating part of the factory, it was possible to enter the abandoned remains of the original mill.
With the line to Caerphilly closed for a weekend possession, an engineering train, its services no longer required, leaves the branch and approaches Cardiff Queen Street en-route back to base.
The working is the 9.00am Cardiff Queen Street - Westbury Down (6A04), in the hands of Freightliner 'Sheds' 66621 and 66592 (tailing). Three other engineering trains remained on the branch, with the possession eventually lifted in time for Monday morning passenger services to resume.
I'd spotted this one on the virtual signal diagram and kept a close eye on it through breakfast for a possible early departure. Thankfully it ran close to schedule so no need to choke on the eggs and bacon and, even better, the clouds played ball too. A nice start to the day given how rare loco-hauled services are just here these days. Best viewed large.

I try to be outside as much as possible but sometimes the body needs sleep and rest.
And sometimes all is not enough to find peace.
I keep on carrying these precious moments in my heart, to stay in connection with what I need. To stay in connection with myself.
This sunrise was out of this world, I could hardly believe how stunning it was! It was such a needed treat after many weeks of doing little to no photography as well as some difficult weeks with my health. I am very thankful that after a 13 hour drive, 5 of which was in dangerous fog, we were able to make it in safely by the Lord's grace and then wake up to see this! The sky was colorful in all directions and it was not even possible to photograph all of it. I hope to see many more sunrises like this over the week!

“So, what are you worried about, Sky?” Asked Barnaby as the bears gathered around for the man to take their photograph.
“Quite a lot, Barnaby. Honey supplies for a start.”
“Honey supplies, Sky? What is the problem?” Asked Bertie also looking concerned.
“It all comes down to the man. He is trying different places where he gets his food from using the complonker. He uses new digits to order and while I have watched and think I have the new ones I was not sure.”
“Sky, the man had the usual van deliver his things last week, I saw it there and was waiting for our stuff but it did not come.” Said Posh Bear.
“No, it is all getting confusing. The man seems to be ordering from both the new one and the old one, which makes it difficult for me to know which one to add our things to. Anyway, I think the man is going bonkers.” Said Sky.
“I quite agree, Sky, but then we have always thought that.” Said Bertie smiling.
“No, I mean totally bonkers, Bertie. When the man had a friend around here recently, I noticed that they were both talking to a green growing plant his has. He has even given it a name and was calling it Vera and he was saying hello to it. It didn’t answer, and his friend even tried but the plant ignored them.”
“Are you sure, Sky?” Asked Posh Bear looking worried.
“Yes, they both kept on saying hello Vera to this plant. Is that weird or what? Then he starts ordering his things from two suppliers.”
“That is very strange behaviour, Sky, I agree. I wonder why he called it Vera? Why not Sky, Bertie, Theo, or Posh, like we are called? Why give the green thing that grows a name at all? All very strange, but not that important to us bears. Now, the possible lack of honey, well that is different.” Said Posh Bear.
“Luckily Posh, we have a genius at the helm of ordering, and I have taken measures to make certain that we still can order from now on.”
“Sky is such a genius.” Said Barnaby looking in admiration at his friend.
“I know, Barnaby, but as I was saying.” Said Sky
“So modest with it too.” Chimed in Bertie giggling.
“As I was saying, I am now ordering from both suppliers, however, there is a slight problem in that if they both supply, we may have a little more than normal.”
“You say a little more, Sky, roughly how much more?” Asked Posh Bear.
“Well, just in case one supplier did not send us what we ordered, I added extra to both orders. Well, I think I did for I was never much good at numbers, so, well I think we had better make extra room to store what comes.”
“So, is it fair to say that you do not know what you ordered then, Sky?” Asked Bertie.
“Well, I am not totally sure, Bertie, but if you need to know I am sure that Vera would know for she was looking at the screen as I did the ordering. So, do you speak green growing thingy, Bertie?”
“Time will tell, Bertie, we will soon find out.” Said Posh Bear smiling.
CN 306 ducks underneath the aging Lovekin bridge after getting every possible delay.
The BCOL rocklights on full display under the darkening blue hour sky, the joys of 5pm in the winter.
Really impressed with the Canon R5's ability to focus and the large file size makes large crops possible.

Geometrias possíveis para um cotidiano impossível

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.
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own
[Chorus]
When your dreams come alive you're unstoppable
Take the shot, chase the sun, find the beautiful
We will glow in the dark turning dust to gold
And we'll dream it possible
Agrandir la photo pour bien voir les détals.

Une possible dernière photo de cet oiseau , l'hiver semble bien terminé.
Maybe a last picture of this bird , winter is over , no more snow.
Merci pour vos commentaires, favoris et visites.
Thanks for your comments , faves and visits.
Bemerkung: Die Aufnahme entstand mit einer Nikon F2 Photomic auf Ilford HP5 Plus. Durch einen Laborfehler (nicht der Sekretär) ist er Film leider beschädigt. Der Sekretär hat sich aber entschieden, die Bilder - soweit möglich - dennoch zu verwenden. In gewisser Weise sind die Effekte sogar interesant...

Note: The picture was taken with a Nikon F2 Photomic on Ilford HP5 Plus. Due to a laboratory problem (not Secretary) the film is unfortunately damaged. However, Secretary has decided to use the images as far as possible. In some way the effecs are actually intereting...
A new location to me that I wanted to check out. Amazing views from there, looking over Epsom golf course to the city, which is 15 miles away. I tried lots of different spots to get the skyscrapers in Vauxhall on the left in properly but just not possible with the positioning of the trees.
A simple two shot focus stack, one for the golf course and one for the city. Deliberately wanted to leave the foreground trees left and right slightly soft to give more of a draw into the city.
Thanks very much for viewing. Have a great weekend!
Pulhapanzak waterfall, Honduras, taken under very challenging light and with water drops falling on the lens every now and then, best to visit in cloudy weather, but there won't be a rainbow in that case, anyway I visited on a weekday and had the whole place to myself, easily accessible by car though the road is a dusty pothole ridden mess for the last part.
Happy weekend to everyone.
Is it Possible? You bet it is. I see the rain as a calming ambiance...water drops of love on earth. ♥
