The bright orange on CMQ's pair of Heritage I painted B23-7s pops out nicely from the dull colors of late winter as CMQ 211 twists into Prospect. This is the wide shot of my previous shot here, and shows most of the train this time, with eight empty slurry tanks, and six acid tanks. The Searsport Branch closely follows Route 1A here, as both round Mosquito Mountain along the edge of the Marsh River to the right.

This was the home of Michael Derek Elworthy Jarman. 31st January 1942 to 19th February 1994.
He was an English film director, stage designer, diarist, artist, gardener and author.
On 22nd December 1986 he was diagnosed as HIV positive. His illness prompted him to move to Prospect Cottage. Here he created his famous garden using the plants that naturally grew at Dungeness.
In 1994 he died of an AIDS related illness in London aged just 52.
There is a poem on the side of the cottage which is the first stanza and the last five lines of the last stanza of John Donne's poem The Rising Sun.
THE SUN RISING.
by John Donne
BUSY old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school-boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
In that the world's contracted thus;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere.
Central Maine & Quebec 210 extra, with wind turbine blades, winds through the curves at Prospect. B23-7 2003 and GP38-3 3803 will bring the train down to Searsport and stage it to be unloaded before coming back up light. With rumors floating around that the CMQ is strongly considering painting some of their engines, I'm hoping that the 2003 is one of the last to be repainted, as I've grown rather fond of the BNSF paint on it.
Cleveland, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2024
Prospect Avenue (which includes the W Prospect Ave section west of Public Square) is a key historic thoroughfare running through downtown and eastern Cleveland, Ohio.
Characteristics and Sections
Central Location: The avenue begins near Public Square (the city's central plaza) and extends eastward.
The West Section (W Prospect Ave): The section designated West Prospect Avenue is very short, as the street primarily lies to the east (East Prospect Avenue). The area near Public Square is anchored by major early 20th-century buildings, including the former May Company department store building, which features façades on both Euclid and Prospect Avenues.
The East Section (E Prospect Ave): This is the more extensive and dynamic portion. It runs through several key districts, notably:
Gateway District: Lying very close to the sports venues (Progressive Field and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse).
Playhouse Square: Running just south of the famous theater district.
Cleveland State University (CSU): The avenue runs directly through the CSU campus, with the Wolstein Center (the university's arena and event venue) as a major landmark.
Historical Housing: In the farther eastern downtown and Midtown areas, remnants of its residential past, such as the historic Prospect Avenue Row Houses, can still be seen.
Historical Significance
Prospect Avenue was long considered the chief rival to the more opulent Euclid Avenue as a fashionable residential street before gradually giving way to commercial development and, more recently, being the focus of revitalization efforts driven by the university and the conversion of historic buildings into downtown apartments.
Prospect Cottage, built in 1900, was home to Derek Jarman (1942-94), the radical film director, cinematographer, stage designer, diarist, painter, gardener, author and gay rights activist. He moved here in 1986 when he was seriously ill and knew that time was not on his side.
Among Jarman’s films were Sebastiane, The Tempest, War Requiem and Caravaggio; the actors who worked for him included Laurence Olivier (in his last film appearance), Judi Dench, Sean Bean, Robbie Coltrane, Toya Wilcox and Tilda Swinton.
At Dungeness, Jarman moved into his unassuming wooden cottage (which he desribed as 'a beaut, a gem') and set about creating his shingle garden, largely by collecting and arranging flotsam washed up onto the beach in front of the house. He made sculptures from stones and he introduced salt-tolerant beach plants, all to great effect. Today, the cottage and garden are much as he left them.
Prospect is a Canadian coastal community on the Chebucto Peninsula in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality.
It borders the Atlantic Ocean approximately 23 kilometers southwest of Halifax off the Prospect Bay Road.

Prospect Bridge, crossing the Rogue River at Prospect, Oregon. Built in 1930, rehabilitated in 2012. A lovely spot just 25 miles southwest of Crater Lake National Park.
The rising suns paints all the colours and possibilities of a new day across the sky. Broadstairs, Kent.
This was shot from the switchback road we were driving in Prospect Gulch. You can see part of the road on the left.
Now, I have to tell you, that this road got tighter and the ledges got higher. Don is an experienced driver, and I have traveled many miles with him, but I must admit I even got a little nervous on this road. I guess I'm a control freak. We finally started up a part that didn't look like it was going to be passable, so he backed up to small turnaround area with huge drop offs. Now that is fun. NOT! So we walked up the road about 100 feet and it stopped.
So this has great views. Why wouldn't it, the tree line was several thousand of feet below us with nothing in between. Wished we had a little better sky. Tell you one thing, wouldn't enjoy meeting someone on the road.
Prospect Place, Battersea. Two of five buildings designed by Frank Gehry & Partners (Executive Architects: Adamson Associates), totally over 700 apartments next to the Power Station. Nearing completion, the flats will need a hefty bank balance to purchase!

February 2022
What:
The start of the "blue hour".
When:
20 minutes after sunset. Last Sunday evening.
Where:
Indian Point Trail
Prospect
Nova Scotia, Canada
About:
Well I've finally gotten off my ass and got out to do some shooting lately! :-)
We had some great clouds/skies/sunsets over the last week so I decided to take a little hike along one of my favorite "hidden" locations. The Indian Point Trail runs along the coastline near Prospect which is about a 25 minute drive from my place in Halifax (the city). This is really great spot but hardly anyone knows where it is and I only usually see a few locals here out walking their dogs. It's a great spot for photos though; there is a nice rugged coastline, usually good waves and the sun sets over the ocean. That isn't always easy to find here on the east coast because the sun sets in the west of course. Prospect is on a peninsula and faces west so it's a good spot for sunsets.
So anyway I good a couple decent sunset shots but this isn't one of them:-) This was taken on my way back along the trail about 20 minutes after the sun had set (the start of the blue hour). It was actually getting quite dark but I like the sky looked and the way the late day light clung to the town and rocks below.
By the way, I will post one of the sunset shots next time :-)
Processing:
This is actually a Vertorama; it's like a panorama but the the images are stacked on top of each other instead of side by side. I wanted to capture the two big rocks in front and well as that whole fanned out cloud formation in one image but even with the 10mm I couldn't get it all in one frame. Paul Bruins vertorama technique to the rescue!! LoL
For more info about Verto's please check out Paul's excellent tutorial here.
While you're at it please check out Panorama Paul's amazing photos as well.
Please, no multiple invites or crazy glittery graphics. Thank You
