There's an abstract shot of this makeshift jetty elsewhere in my gallery. It shows only the jetty and reflection of the sky, without reference to anything else. Take peek if you're interested......
Last Suday's chase of NYS&W train CL-X provided me with a "1st timer" shot as they head down the ex DL&W Cincinatus Branch. A line that was gone before I was born, the Susquehanna re installed a portion of it east out of Cortland, NY to serve their largest customer, Suite Coat. Within the last three years, CWR was added making this forgotten branch line as good as many mainlines.
I'm sure many other cities have it too, but Hong Kong is quite impressive... parks, subway, shopping malls, schools, trains, many many streets are equipped with tactile paving for blind or visually impaired persons... this one in Shatin is just a tiny sample of a huge network of these "truncated domes" as they are called... I think.....
Un petit chat veille au bord des flots.
Mais ce n’est pas un chaton, juste un jeu de mots
Enfin, si on ne veut pas vivre idiot
Car en breton, "minou" n'est pas félin,
C’est une pointe, un repère de marins.
Un chemin secret, entre roche et courant,
Que le phare éclaire depuis le levant.
Alors, sur sa jetée pavée de temps,
Suivez les pierres qui mènent au couchant.
Et découvrez ce gardien
Au nom si doux, presque enfantin,
Qui griffe l'azur lorsque le jour s'éteint.

A little cat watches over the water.
But it's not a kitten, just a play on words
Finally, if we don't want to live stupid
Because in Breton, “kitty” is not feline,
It’s a point, a sailor’s landmark.
A secret path, between rock and current,
Let the lighthouse shine from the east.
So, on its paved pier of time,
Follow the stones that lead to the sunset.
And discover this guardian
With a name so sweet, almost childish,
Which scratches the azure when the day goes out.

Top down angle thanks to an office window, though sadly just a phonecam shot, hence the potato quality ;)
