The East bound Grainer led by CSXT 317 sits on the James River Viaduct due to a problem in the Engine. A pair of Lite Engines goes West for giving this train a shove.
The torrential rains that have plagued the day are coming to an end as Chinese-built 2-10-2 QJ-class Iowa Interstate 6988, the "Iowa Bolt," passes through rural Sparland on its return trip to the former Rock Island depot in Chillicothe on its fourth excursion run of the day. Something was going wrong with the of the cars as the train passed, forcing the train to stop not much further up the tracks. This is why the crewman is leaning out the window, seeing whatever he can see.
The biggest problem with photographing in a location as beautiful as the Banff National Park... is that it is visited by so many tourists every year... that finding unique compositions is almost impossible!
Most of the iconic locations in the park are easily accessible by car and/or a short hike along established trails... but fortunately there are a few lakes that are not very well known... with faint trails that are not marked on any maps or tourist brochures. This is one of those lakes.
Please don't ask me what it's called, where it is, or how to get to it... the peaks that you can see on the left of this image should be enough of a clue to those who know the topography of the Rockies... but for now I'd like to keep this location a secret.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I'd like to say this Northern Copperhead is lying in wait to protect his buddy Garter Snake but in all reality they are just basking buddies. 7-19-16.
During the night people come to this valley to watch the Elk Rut. By first light the road is completely lined with cars and trucks and people. This Bull Elk is trying to get through that line of people and get his herd to the Valley floor. Not an easy task.
Today, I stopped in Starbucks to grab a coffee. Based on the constant foot traffic, they certainly seem be less affected by COVID than other businesses. #covidproof
Description in English and Dutch:
I already uploaded photos of the Westduinpark in The Hague near Scheveningen. Wednesday I was in the same park, but then the part near Kijkduin. This is photo number 7 in the new series. It is an impressive dune area that runs approximately from Scheveningen harbor to Kijkduin.There are Scottish Highlanders in the protected nature reserve to control the vegetation and there is really a lot to see in terms of flora and fauna. It is a combination of dunes, open sand area and forest. It is very special there because dunes and forests alternate and sometimes merge into one another. On warm sunny days, a lot of women walk barefoot on the sandy areas, to experience the ultimate feeling of freedom.There are hiking trails as well as cycle paths and horse riding trails in the very interesting park. A lot of people are really impressed by the vegetation, bunkers from the Second World War, steep dune hills and the impressive viewpoints. The view at those points of the beach and the sea and on the other side the buildings of the city is truly phenomenal. Come there once and experience a invisible blanket of oasis and peace. You will imagine yourself in a kind of paradise where worries and problems do not exist and where the war of thoughts in everyone's head disappears like snow in the sun for a moment in time, because freedom is in each of us.

Eerder heb ik al foto's geüpload van het Westduinpark in Den Haag bij Scheveningen. Woensdag was ik in hetzelfde park, maar dan in het gedeelte bij Kijkduin. Dit is foto 6 van de nieuwe reeks van het Westduinpark. Er zijn hier ook Schotse Hooglanders in het beschermde natuurgebied aanwezig om de vegetatie in balans te houden. Buiten de vriendelijke hooglanders is er nog veel meer moois te beleven qua flora en fauna. Het park is een combinatie van duinen, open zandgebied en bos. Het is daar heel bijzonder, omdat duinen en bos elkaar afwisselen en soms in elkaar overlopen. Op warme zonnige dagen lopen veel vrouwen blootsvoets op de zanderige gebieden om het ultieme gevoel van vrijheid te ervaren. In het parkgebied zijn zowel wandelpaden als fietspaden als ruiterpaden aanwezig.Veel mensen die er voor het eerst komen zijn echt onder de indruk van de vegetatie, de overblijfselen van de bunkers uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog, de steile duinheuvels en de indrukwekkende uitzichtpunten. Op zo’n uitzichtpunt kun je vanaf de sfeervolle bankjes heerlijk genieten van het uitzicht op de gebouwen van de stad of aan de andere kant van het strand en de zee. Als je een keer in de buurt bent dan raad ik zeker aan om dit geweldige gebied te bezoeken. Een oase van rust en vrede zal als een onzichtbare deken over je heen vallen waarna je jezelf daar dan echt in een soort van paradijs waant. Op die magische Haagse plek zullen de negatieve gedachten in je hoofd daarom als sneeuw voor de zon verdwijnen.
"A 1969 station concept. The station was to rotate on its central axis to produce artificial gravity. The majority of early space station concepts created artificial gravity one way or another in order to simulate a more natural or familiar environment for the health of the astronauts. After returning from a micro-gravity environment, astronauts find their muscles weak because they have not been using them. Long-term exposure to micro-gravity could generate long-term health problems for astronauts who do not utilize their muscles. This is why there are exercise machines on space shuttles and on the International Space Station. It was to be assembled on-orbit from spent Apollo program stages."
Obviously, the above is a relatively contemporary ‘composition’ and surprisingly okay. I wonder what the original was though. Although this isn’t, some other original printings must’ve been captioned…maybe.
The approaching ferry? capsule looks like an Apollo Command Module with a Mercury Recovery Compartment ‘appendage’. The space station actually appears to have the same spacecraft docked at both ends. In fact, the one on the right looks to be undocked. And I’m guessing the ring of ‘lights’, near the base of each are windows/portholes. If so, they’re good-sized craft.
This has long been an oft-reproduced & iconic rotating space station concept. I’ve always loved it…other than those lame motion/movement lines.
Thanks to James Vaughan’s posting (linked to below), this is a GAEC design/proposal, which helped to confirm that it’s the work of Craig Kavafes. A WIN!!! 👍👍👍
This, the following linked designs & my other linked Flickr photo below - based on the photo identification number - look to have been part of the same family/series of contractor concepts, proposals, etc., solicited/entertained by NASA ca. 1969:

In fact and in confirmation of such; in January - February 1969, NASA Administrator Thomas O. Paine oversaw the creation of a Space Station Task Force, a Space Station Steering Group, and an independent Space Station Review Group. These bodies prepared a Phase B Space Station Study Statement of Work (SOW), which NASA released to industry on 19 April 1969. So, I'm pretty sure these works are some of the responses/submittals to that SOW.
"The SOW solicited proposals to study a 12-man Space Station, the design of which would eventually serve as a building block for a 100-man Earth-orbital Space Base. The 12-man Station was to reach orbit on a Saturn V rocket in 1975 and to remain in operation for 10 years...
Grumman, North American Rockwell (NAR), and McDonnell Douglas Aerospace Company (MDAC) submitted proposals in response to the SOW."

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Placa de col·lodió sec, mètode Russell (col·lodió-taní), en format 13x18cm; realitzat amb una reisekamera Konrad Seitz, fabricada cap al 1895; objectiu K. Seitz Rapid Aplanat f8; col·lodió barreja i taní.
Vista de la Mare de Deu del Remei, a les afores de Caldes de Montbui. Un bonic racó per a passejar.
En aquest tercer i més ambiciós lot de plaques de col·lodió sec, vaig albuminar tota la superficie del vidre com a pas previ al col·lodió, eliminant completament els problemes de adhesió del mateix, fins hi tot les reticules de les plaques anteriors. Però també vaig tenir nous problemes, principalment que només varen sortir exposades 3 plaques de sis, i a sobre la intensitat és força debil. Crec que té a veure amb com vaig cobrir amb taní la emulsió.
Es cobreix una placa de vidre amb col·lodió, es sensibilitza amb nitrat de plata i tot seguit, es renta en aigua destilada. Després es cobreix amb una sol·lució de taní (i potser goma arabiga) i es deixa assecar a les fosques. La placa ja està preparada per exposar-se, i aguantarà en aquest estat diverses setmanes o mesos hi tot. Un cop exposada (entorn 4 minuts a f11) es renta amb etanol i aigua destilada, i es pot revelar en una preparat de àcid pirogalic en aigua destilada i acid acetic, al que s'afegeixen diverses gotes de sol·lució de nitrat de plata al 4,4%. Finalment es fixa i vernissa com una placa humida normal i corrent.
Les plaques de col·lodió sec son força desconegudes però es varen fer servir en paral·lel al més famós col·lodió humit. Eren molt pràctiques per eliminar la necessitat de portar a sobre tots els quimics i una cambra fosca portatil, però com les exposicions son molt llargues, de diversos minuts com a mínim, en queden exclosos els retrats.

======================
Dry collodion plate, Russell process (tanine-collodion) in 13x18cm format; made with a Konrad Seitz tailboard camera, made c.1895; Konrad Seitz Rapid Aplanat f8 lens; re-used collodion and tannin; developed in pyrogalol.
The baroque church of El Remei, in the outskirts of Caldes de Montbui, Catalonia.
In this third dry collodion batch I've solved the lifting emulsion problems albumenizing the whole surface before covering the plate with collodion. But all my plates showed quite thin negatives, or nothing at all. I presume these problems could be solved changing the way I cover the plates with tannin and the proportions of the developer.
To prepare a plate for the Major Russell process (since 1861), one should cover a glass plate with normal wet plate collodion, and then sensitize it in silver nitrate as usual. But then the plate is completely washed in distilled water, always in the dark. Finally the plate is covered with a solution of tannin, where gum arabic could be added. Once exposed, the plate is washed in ethanol and water, and then developed in a mixture of pyrogallic acid and acetic acid in distilled water, to which a bit of silver nitrate is added. Fix and varnish as a wet plate.
The dry collodion is a quite convenient "evolution" from the wet collodion, as it allows to go out there without any box of chemicals and a dark box following you. But it never gained more popularity due to it's own problems, like even more complex manipulations and specially much less sensibility, with expositions in the minutes range, limiting it to landscape photography.

The lovelocks have been a problem on the Pont des Arts and other Paris bridges for some years. The Pont des Arts, an older metal bridge for pedestrians, is the most vulnerable to severe problems with the added weight of the thousands of locks. So the panels with locks will be replaced with clear panels.

Well, of course, I was wrong! I HAVE used math quite a bit in my lifetime. All the items pictured were from Pixabay. Text from Picsart.
I tried to get the camera to focus better. My mother and grandmother in the background discussing the flea problem this year
I got trees to prune.
no time for picture taking.
and.....when I used the timer, I had to run to cover the picture. I forgot to add the black cover.
duh...

I couldn't find this Vampi swimsuit in Petite, so I had to bring out my "big" girls to fill it up! :-)
I have sorted the problem out. their was nothing wrong with blouse all along the problem lay with the skirt.
I think the blouse makes a cute mini dress what do you think?
:V So troll.
Thanks to Eclipse because this wouldn't not be possible without his help LOL.
45. I'll most likely end up doing some sort of Scene or something that uses all 45 and it will be legit.
They wanted to take me and I took them! No problem> go ahead!
Thank you, my friend Rob Goldstein, for group-invitations! I do appreciate♫
Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.

I am not going to climb this Edison Tower (pylon) as I can hear the loud buzzing of the A/C power flowing through the cables being generated by Edison's Tehachapi project!
I will go there again this morning to attempt photographing Purple Finches.

Fellas, there are like 1/2 dozen threads on this topic. The culprit is Android mobile, and the best guess is that Android bots are just going through people's entire libraries. Probably copying every image as they go, but if you're pro and click through to the details of where your pics are coming from, safe bet it's mobile/Android.
Not that you'd ever learn that from someone authoritative like, say, Flickr support....
