In this view from the Market Street overpass, Conrail SD40s 6247 & 6317, with SD40-2-6358, are leading E/B train PIML-3 (Pittsburgh, PA to Metuchan/Linden, NJ). They're splitting the now gone classic Pennsylvania Railroad Position Light Signals on track one of CR's Pittsburgh Line. Sadly, all of the grain bins are long gone too.
Found this black-crowned night-heron getting into position for hunting in the marshy shallow water. They can be quite patient too, sometimes found hunched over in the same position for an extensive time while waiting on some type of aquatic delight. They will defend their "hunting grounds" or territory as well, should another opportunistic feeder come along.
What I find most fascinating about them is that quite striking red eye ... they simply grab my attention.
Happy Sunday everyone!

Vom Helgoländer Klippenrandweg kann man Vögel in 50m Flughöhe aus paralleler Position fotografieren. Es gibt nicht viele Orte, wo man diese besondere Perspektive so leicht erreichen kann.
Komp. Detail: Im unbeschnittenen Bild habe ich mehr Himmel als Wasser und normalerweise vermeide ich es den Horizont mittig durchs Bild laufen zu lassen. In diesem Fall verschwimmen Himmel und Nordsee aber in der Unschärfe des Hintergrunds und der Blick des Betrachters wird auch durch die beinahe X-Form des Vogels in die Bildmitte bzw. -vordergrund gezogen. Der Horizont selbst kann nur erahnt werden, er schneidet das Bild nicht durch. Deshalb habe ich den Ausschnitt jetzt so gewählt, dass mit Himmel und Ozean zwei Elemente des Basstölpel Lebensraums gemeinsam und gleichwertig vertreten sind.
From the Heligoland cliff edge path you can photograph birds at a height of 50m from a parallel position. There are not many places where you can achieve this special perspective so easily.
Comp. Detail: In the uncropped image I have more sky than water and I normally avoid having the horizon running through the middle of the image. In this case, however, the sky and the North Sea fade into the blurred background and supported by the bird's almost X-shape the viewer's gaze is drawn to the middle or foreground of the image. The horizon itself can only be guessed at. It doesn't cut through the image. That's why I chose the crop so that two elements of the northern gannet's habitat, sky and ocean, are represented together and equally.

Baumläufer sind schwierig aus einer schönen Position zu fotografieren weil sie zwar meist unten an einem Baum lauslaufen aber in Windeseile eine Höhe erreichen, bei der man dann nur den klassischen Bauch- oder A...schschuß aufnehmen kann. Der Winkel ist also wichtig und wenn man sie nicht sofort beim Start erwischt ist die Chance für ein Foto schnell vorbei. Bei diesem Waldbaumläufer hatte ich Glück: er hatte es nicht sonderlich eilig bzw. er durchsuchte die Rinde des Baums so sorgfältig, dass ich genügend Zeit hatte ihn in etwa 1,50m Höhe bei der Futtersuche zu fotografieren. Dass er tatsächlich eine kleine Spinne aus der Rinde gezogen hat, habe ich erst beim Bearbeiten des Fotos am Bildschirm gesehen. Die Spinne ist winzig, keine üppige Mahlzeit möchte man denken. Aber der Baumläufer selbst wiegt ja auch nur neun Gramm...
Treecreepers are difficult to photograph from a good position because, although they usually beginn climbing up the tree from about ground level, they quickly reach a height where you can only get the classic belly or ass shot. The angle is therefore important and if you don't catch them at the starting line, the chance for a photo is quickly over. I was lucky with this treecreeper: it wasn't in a particular hurry, or rather, it searched the bark of the tree so carefully that I had enough time to photograph it searching for food at a height of around 1.50 m. I only noticed that it had actually pulled a small spider out of the bark when I was editing the photo on the screen. The spider is tiny, not a sumptuous meal, you would think. But the treecreeper itself only weighs nine grams...

Malaika- the queen of Ole Kiombo . She literally directed her now one year old cubs to an effortless kill of a Gazelle fawn. The sequence of the kill to follow soon...amazing sighting!

The position of this butterfly makes it look elongated. It reminds me of the great painter El Greco (1541-1614).

the fall as junction

Swift and silent

Europe, Spain, Valencia, Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, Santiago Calatrava, Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe(slightly cut)
Sometimes lookin' up in a building is like lookin' into another dimension.
During the first leg of our Spanish summer tour, we returned to the CAC. Mainly because we hadn't seen the buildings from the inside yet. The Prince Felip Science museum was a great building to start with.
Shot in the main atrium, showcasing the articulated and intricate 'organic' architecture of Calatrava. The 'spikes' (sharp triangles) of the roof, which are visible in the approx 1/3 position of the frame, are shown too, in a shot from the outside: here
It's not 'enchanted concrete' like in Sao Paulo here but, staying close to Calatrava's form language, 'lush concrete'.

Mr. Harris positioned his camera in the gauge of the westbound track as an eastbound train glides through the great Mojave Desert at Klondike, California.
The Santa Fe Railway constructed a big grade separation at Klondike in order to reduce the grade for westbound trains passing through the area.

Explored! Highest position: 474th of Thursday, February 22, 2018 (reached this mark on Friday, February 23, 2018).
My hometown, Schoonhoven, has a moat. In early days, it enclosed the old city center, as a protection against intruders. Together with the city walls it was almost impossible to conquer the city.
Nowadays, part of the moat is gone, but a small part of it is still be visible. Even the star-shaped form is visible on maps.
Almost five years ago, the counsil of Schoonhoven agreed to construct a bandstand on the water. It forms a stage for a broad spectrum of music bands. From the adjacent park, you have a perfect view on the bandstand and you can enjoy the atmosphere.
This photo is taken from across the moat, in the direction of the park, the bandstand and the Great St. Bartholomew Church of Schoonhoven.
Minutes after arrival with the 1822 from Dingwall, the locomotive has already uncoupled from it's short take of Mark 1 and 2 coaches and is about to run around prior to pushing the coaches back into the station ready for the next departure.
Those viewers that know Kyle may be wondering about my viewpoint for taking this photograph. In the summer of 1989 I was working on a ship that returned to Kyle each evening and moored at the quay next to the station, and this is taken from the bridge of the MV Northern Horizon... no pole necessary!
At this time services from Kyle were unable to reach Inverness due to the collapse of the Ness Viaduct a few months earlier ( see flic.kr/p/2aErgVU). Consequently, trains were running only as far as Dingwall with passengers being taken by bus to Inverness.

Manakara (Madagascar) - Petite commerçante croisée sous le marché couvert de Manakara. Je n’avais pas vu que cette petite fille m’observait, alors que je photographiais les étals du marché. Quand je l’ai aperçue, pour ne pas l’effrayer, j’ai doucement braqué mon objectif sur elle. Elle est restée dans la même position, sans bouger d’un pouce.
Little saleswoman
Manakara (Madagascar) - Little shopkeeper I met under the covered market of Manakara. I didn't see that this little girl was watching me while I was photographing the market stalls. When I saw her, so as not to scare her, I gently aimed my lens at her. She remained in the same position without moving an inch.

Not much to write today.. am running a fever, headache & sore throat but still at work tho :( really tired but no choice i guess as i've a couple of important meetings this afternoon.
Slept like 9pm last night therefore didn't manage to catch up most of your photostream... only manage some this morning. My apologies & wish myself a fast recovery so i can catch up with you soon.
View LARGE On Black to make me feel well again :))
Low perspective shot of the falls. Normally this shot is not available since I am sitting directly in the path of the stream. Getting to this position was not difficult as long as you don't miss step.

France, Normandy, Mont-Saint-Michel, Spring 2022
Mont-Saint-Michel is a tidal island in Normandy, France. As of 2019, the island had a population of 29. The commune's position—on an island just a few hundred metres from land—made it accessible at low tide to the many pilgrims to its abbey, but defensible as an incoming tide stranded, drove off, or drowned would-be assailants. The island remained unconquered during the Hundred Years' War; a small garrison fended off a full attack by the English in 1433. Louis XI recognised the reverse benefits of its natural defence and turned it into a prison. The abbey was used regularly as a prison during the Ancien Régime. Mont-Saint-Michel and its surrounding bay were inscribed on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1979 for its unique aesthetic and importance as a medieval Christian site. It is visited by more than 3 million people each year. Mont-Saint-Michel served as an artistic inspiration for a number of works. In Peter Jackson's 2003 film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Gondor's capital city was modelled on Mont Saint-Michel. Likewise, the town and castle in the Disney hit Tangled were based on Mont-Saint-Michel, as was the design of Dark Souls location New Londo Ruins.
