CP 5936 and 6258 creep out across the Kennebec at Moosehead, ME with a rail train in tow. The train had taken the siding to allow CP 250-5 to pass. Afterwards, they would pull beyond the road for Brookfield Energy, and would proceed to drop the last 8 or so strands of rail.

spotted this character
while driving down a
country lane .. slowed
down to a crawl to observe ..
then stopped , grabbed the phone , got out as the
grouse crossed in front & checked out the other side
then returned and sat watching
me for a minute .. i got back in the car and carefully proceeded down
the lane while the grouse
followed alongside as if
not wanting me to leave ..
quite a fantastic adventure
I have posted several pictures for those interested of the peregrine falcon fight. The juvenile falcons appeared to have started fighting over a gull. It seems they soon forgot about the gull and one falcon killed the other, then swimming with it to shore and proceeded to eat it.
And he proceeded to pull them right off!!! I was laughing so hard, I couldn't taken another picture!!!!
We went to the Rockingham County Fair last night, so be prepared for a bunch of pictures.
Made Explore!! THANK YOU ALL!!!!!
It's not unlikely that this was one of the last times this semaphore signal in Lipusz showed a "free way" signal. Passenger traffic on this railway line was suspended with the end of June and replaced by bus services, and cargo trains run here once a week.
The signals are being replaced for more modern ones most likely due to the fact that the neighbouring station in Kościerzyna is receiving a complete makeover.
The locomotive on picture - ST44-1267 - was leaving as a light engine from Lipusz towards Chojnice and Bydgoszcz, having brought a loaded cement train to Lipusz a couple of minutes before.

Note the VMV SD45 leaser in trail. 8918 was originally a Seaboard unit and eventually ended up on MRL.
I doubt she's going anywhere though, I believe she was built in Belgium in 1950 and served in Belgium and Dutch ports before making her way across the North Sea and ending up on the weaver sometime in the early 2000's
Dumpling popped in with Mimi for a visit. Polished off the cat food then proceeded to go through the apples, nectarines, two banana's and crackers. Being a possum mum is hungry work!!
Mimi made me giggle with the way she used Dumpling's tail to seat herself, about the only time she wasn't active!
I have been throwing mulch on my landscape beds all week so I've had no time for photography. That changed yesterday. I took a much needed break from my work, grabbed my macro lens, and proceeded to spend an hour capturing plants and flowers on our property as well as our neighbor's flowers!
Enjoy this springtime fern growing next to our back patio :)
Camera: Nikon F90X
Film: LomoChrome Purple XR 100-400
Scanned by Walkens House of Film, Melbourne, Australia
When I first heard about LomoChrome Purple as an infrared emulating film, I couldn't wait to try it. But wait I had to as it sells out very quickly, and I had to go on a waiting list for available stock. As soon as I received it I loaded up this 35mm film and headed off to get some photos.
Like infrared film LomoChrome changes the colours of living greens. The overwhelming colour palette ranges from deep purples through pinks to various shades of green. As I guessed in these shots, it would lend a vintage feel to the pictures. You could imagine these as postcards from the very early days of colour photography (with perhaps a little fading over time).
As we proceed over the next few days I'll explain the ways this film can be used to maximise special effects (understanding the light is absolutely critical and my experience shooting black and white infrared was invaluable). This is not a film to just shoot anything. It's too expensive for a start, but then on other subjects the results can be disappointing.
These are genuine film effects. No digital alterations were made here.
The ground is damp, the fog is gathering, the moss and weed guide you along the path, but beware, the approach down to the River Manifold may be somewhat precarious.

This species is normally difficult to photograph as they are always on the move. I spotted this one running around and reached out to move a leaf that it kept hiding under. As I did it jumped onto my thumb and proceeded up my arm. This is just at the base of my left thumb.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

Poor Hank. He get so excited and worked up when the family comes to visit that it can be quite risky petting him. Here, Jason demonstrates how to safely pet and show some love to an out of control cat.
As our cruise ship proceeded along the Rhine, we stopped for a day in Heidelberg -- one of the oldest university towns in Germany, and all of Europe.
I decided to go along on the tour with the rest of the group on this particular morning -- even though it was foggy and raining, and there wasn't much opportunity to wander around. After seeing several parts of the old campus, we were taken back down to the town square and given an hour to amuse ourselves in the rain.
As usual, I wandered about and took some photos...
The man holding this umbrella turned out to be one the passengers on my cruise ship ... but whenever I saw him on the ship, he seemed so grumpy that I decided not to tell him that I had photographed him. In fairness, I saw him mostly in the dining area, and perhaps he was just hungry and concentrating on his food ... in any case, I did tell his niece, who seemed pleased but did not seem to have any interest in having the photo sent to her. C'est la vie ...
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day for Oct 14, 2015.
**********************************
During the first two weeks of September 2015, we took a river cruise down the Rhine River, and wrapped up the trip with a few days in Berlin. This Flickr album contains various photos from that trip …
We spent the first couple days recovering from jet-lag in Interlaken, Switzerland. This is the site of the Jungfrau and various other spectacular peaks in the Alps range — but it was so foggy that we could hardly see anything. I’ve included a couple of videos of a tram ride down the mountain, as well as some paraglider who floated down into the town park.
We then traveled to Bern, where we got on-board a Viking Cruise ship that headed north for the next several days — eventually arriving in Amsterdam, after making stops nearly every day to see ancient castles and fortresses, as well as various villages and small towns that have survived various wars, tyrants, and regimes for well over a thousand years.
From our final cruise destination in Amsterdam, we flew to Berlin — where we spent a few days at a very nice hotel that turned out to be in what was once East Berlin. Indeed, the separation between East and West Berlin, once so obvious and important, is now almost impossible for a visitor to spot. Except for some rubble, and a few small mementoes (like Checkpoint Charlie, a few blocks from our hotel), there is no obvious difference between East and West from pre-1989 days.
On the misty morning of August 31st, 2015 Canadian National “Rock train” L704 with its single EMD SD60 and about 26 loads were at Ackerville, Wisconsin.
This train would normally shove south from its origin at spur 126 to this location to run-around their train, so the rear end device setting on top of the snowplow is an indication that they were still in the process of carrying out that move here before being able to proceed southward. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©

Black and White -+- Three Dog Night
Yes, that's a Three Dog Night single on the platter. Alas, the most obvious choice is not in my modest singles collection, so I had to pick another TDN single so I could proceed.
To counter my usual indolent Monday I lugged my ancient carcase, wheezing and panting, to one of the high points of Black Rocks, Cromford #Derbyshire.
To say that I felt grossly unfit would be a vast understatement, however, once I’d pushed my lungs back into my chest cavity I felt a little better.
I proceeded to set up the tripod (an item I rarely take with me) and a grad filter to help capture the ominous cloudscape, luckily the promise of a downpour didn’t materialise. The temperature was around 7ºc but it was accompanied by an unrelenting wind which made it feel closer to zero.
I took a few photographs before deciding that hyperthermia wouldn’t be a good life choice and made my way back down.
Click, Click, Click, Spider! Literally, I was taking picutres of this flower and all of a sudden this little guy peeked around the petal to see what I was doing. He then proceeded to catch his dinner and eat it. Very cool.My PSE7 is acting up and it is really freaking me out! (Hence my missing watermark)
Thank you for your continued support and friendship!
I hope each and every one of you have a fantastic weekend!

The driver waits for permission to proceed to Battleship Wharf, North Blyth with a rake of coal empties, the 4N04 08.59 from Tees Yard.
They will be filled with high quality coal from nearby Shotton opencast mine for use in Margam steelworks.
As we proceeded around Johnson Lake in Banff Park to our starting point there is a small creek to cross. A collection of trout were hanging out underneath the bridge over this creek and I captured this reflection just downstream of the bridge.
At sunset, after a very hot day, which culminated with a heavy thunderstorm, SM30-801 of JSW Logistics is waiting for a white signal to proceed shunting back towards the signal box at the Budryk coal mine located in Ornontowice.
The title is very unimaginative, perhaps even clickbaity but I really have to emphasise how unique this picture is.
Most locomotives in Poland are photographed very regularly and have tens or hundreds of pictures taken of them each year. Some however, are mostly unused or hidden deep inside industrial facilities, or military bases. A simmilar case is with this locomotive, as from the basic research I did on the internet, I could only find... 3 publushed pictures of the locomotive, ever to be taken.
The history of the SM30-801 is not very clear, however from the pictures on the internet I could find out that it had been most likely brought to the Budryk coal mine in 2017.
From what the locals told me, the locomotive is usually unused and is stood at the signal box of the Budryk mine. Occasionally it does shunting work with empty wagons or loads up carts with mining waste headed to the spoil tip. It is most likely the only locomotive in the JSW fleet to posess their paint scheme, maybe even the only SM30 there.

La vieja claustra, responde al sobrio y funcional estilo gótico que caracteriza a todo el monumento. Ocupa el barrio altomedieval llamado ‘del Ciminterio’, cuyas casas fueron destruidas a comienzos del siglo XIV para proceder a la construcción del mismo, impulsada por el abad Nuño Pérez de Monrroy, canciller de la reina María.
Su edificación se inició por la nave norte, la que cobija la puerta de la iglesia, y la última en alzarse fue la del sur, que hace poco más de cien años caía sobre el mar. Estas naves se cierran a la parte del jardín por galerías arqueadas y con esbeltos parteluces, reforzados con posterioridad mediante robustos arcos escarzanos. Todas las naves estaban jalonadas de capillas, entre las que destacaban dos: la de San Pedro, situada en el extremo sureste, donde se celebraban los concejos generales de la villa, y la de Santiago, construida por la importante familia de armadores reales de los Escalante, en el siglo XIV, a la parte de Poniente; en el parámetro de esta misma nave se abría la puerta del hospital de Sancti Spiritus, que ya estaba allí a comienzos del siglo XIV.
Hoy se conservan en el claustro un buen número de bultos sepulcrales de abades y caballeros así como claves y capiteles tallados recuperados durante la reconstrucción.
The old cloister, responds to the sober and functional Gothic style that characterizes the whole monument. It occupies the altomedieval quarter called "of the Ciminterio", whose houses were destroyed at the beginning of century XIV to proceed to the construction of the same, impelled by the abbot Nuncio Perez de Monrroy, chancellor of the queen Maria.
Its construction began by the north nave, which shelters the door of the church, and the last to rise was the south, which a little more than a hundred years ago fell on the sea. These ships are closed to the part of the garden by arched galleries and with slender mullions, reinforced later by robust escarzanos arcs. All the ships were dotted with chapels, two of which stood out: the one at San Pedro, at the far southeast, where the general councils of the town were celebrated, and that of Santiago, built by the important royal family of shipowners. Escalante, in the XIV century, to the west side; In the parameter of this same ship the door of the hospital of Sancti Spiritus, that was already there at the beginning of century XIV was opened.
Today, a good number of sepulchral bundles of abbots and knights are preserved in the cloister, as well as carved keys and capitals recovered during the reconstruction.
Le vieux cloître répond au style gothique sobre et fonctionnel qui caractérise l'ensemble du monument. Classé quartier altomedieval appelé la Ciminterio 'dont les maisons ont été détruites au début du XIVe siècle, de procéder à sa construction, tirée par l'Abbé Nuño Pérez de Monroy, chancelier de la reine Mary.
Sa construction a été initiée par la nef nord, qui abrite la porte de l'église, et le dernier a été la montée du sud, il y a un peu plus d'une centaine d'années est tombé sur la mer. Ces navires proches du côté jardin par des galeries voûtées et à meneaux minces renforcés plus tard par arcs surbaissés robustes. Tous les navires ont été parsemées de chapelles, parmi lesquels deux inclus: San Pedro, situé dans le sud-est extrême, où les conseils généraux de la ville ont eu lieu, et Santiago, construit par la famille importante de véritables propriétaires de la Escalante, au XIVe siècle, une partie de l'Ouest; dans le paramètre du même navire hors de l'hôpital de Sancti Spiritus, qui était déjà là au début du XIVe siècle, a ouvert.

Il palazzo Ducale di Urbino - The ducal palace of Urbino
Il palazzo ducale di Urbino è uno dei più grandi esempi artistico-architettonici appartenente al Rinascimento italiano. Esso è sede della Galleria Nazionale delle Marche e del Museo Archeologico Lapidario.
Il palazzo è proprietà dello Stato Italiano ed è il principale monumento della città di Urbino trovandosi nella città antica; è inoltre luogo di eventi museali, musicali ed artistici.
Il palazzo è l'ambizioso progetto del conte Federico da Montefeltro il quale fu un signore dai gusti raffinati e dalla cultura avanzata il quale procedette anche allo sviluppo urbanistico di Urbino per farne la città "del Principe".
Nel 1444 Federico da Montefeltro prese il potere e, dopo un decennio di assestamento finanziario, diede inizio alla costruzione chiamando l'architetto fiorentino Maso di Bartolomeo, allievo del Brunelleschi.
La costruzione avvenne in più fasi e con l'obbiettivo di "superare tutte le residenze principesche d'Italia" chiamando vari architetti, quali il dalmata Luciano Laurana, Francesco di Giorgio, Filippo Terzi e Federico Brandani.
The ducal palace of Urbino is one of the greatest artistic-architectural examples belonging to the Italian Renaissance. It is home to the National Gallery of the Marches and the Lapidary Archaeological Museum.
The building is owned by the Italian State and is the main monument of the city of Urbino being in the ancient city; it is also a place for museum, musical and artistic events.
The palace is the ambitious project of Count Federico da Montefeltro who was a gentleman with refined tastes and advanced culture who also proceeded with the urban development of Urbino to make it the "Prince's" city.
In 1444 Federico da Montefeltro took power and, after a decade of financial adjustment, he began construction by calling on the Florentine architect Maso di Bartolomeo, a pupil of Brunelleschi.
The construction took place in several phases and with the aim of "surpassing all the princely residences of Italy" by calling on various architects, such as the Dalmatian Luciano Laurana, Francesco di Giorgio, Filippo Terzi and Federico Brandani.

Union Pacific's YRO52R 18 yard job pauses for a clear signal to proceed west at CP C784 Salt Lake City, Utah on April 18, 2011.
While UP has retired and sold off many of its GP15-1 locomotives, UP Y585 was rebuilt and repainted in 2010. Y585 is still active on the UP roster today, working out of Spring, Texas as of Feb. 10, 2025.
Manifest Q614 prepares to leave the siding at Harper to proceed north on CSX's Abbeville Subdivision.
Despite having a proceed aspect at the signal at Bena Corral, the engineer waited a good 10 minutes before re-starting his train after waiting the passage of a northbound.
It's almost as if he wanted me to get the golden shot.
Thank you Sir, whoever you are.

In 1945, the Russian army entered Poland via Ukraine and liberated the country from Nazi occupation. They then proceeded to consolidate their overreach in a nascent 'Soviet Union'. History occasionally recurs, and if nothing else, the anxiety that accompanies winds of looming war can repeatedly rear its ugly head. So, I wonder what that child, now 33 years old, is thinking today….. This was my father's childhood home.

Just as the laws of physics would espouse the triangles in the sky in the first photograph proceed through the sequence of pictures, each at Eight Seconds of open Shutter time, as a diminishing light trail that is visible approaching the horizon taking seemingly longer to recede from sight. The fixed observer through the camera pictures sees the triangles in one image and then their condensed light trail is seen again and again racing to the horizon. The curvature of path of the satellite and the curvature of the atmosphere of planet Earth combine to make the trajectory through the camera pictures appear to differ and to slow as it takes just the right amount of time to arc on and on returning and repeating the orbital trace of a near Earth bright object.
The triangle lights are being seen in many peoples photographs in 2023 to 2024. There are links to the triangular lights all over the web. With a host of Aurora Borealis hunters looking at the huge current surge in Aurora within the night sky the Triangles have been much seen and widely reported on all around The World. I see some reports that these lights are SpaceX Starlink satellites.
These pictures taken with Minolta16mm f2.8 Fisheye lens, Lightroom and other recognition software believes that it is SAL16F28 a Sony 16mm f2.8 Fisheye lens. There are no lens profile adjustments made to the images. Just as I do not make adjustments to the images to be treated as taken by a Sony Lens I do not try to find out how to undo any incorrect attribution. The two lenses could be very similar even near identical, all I know is that this wonder is from Minolta. This description is way too long, is it oft stated if I had more time then I would send better in fewer words?

Colonel Lucas: Your mission is to proceed up the Nung River in a Navy patrol boat. Pick up Colonel Kurtz's path at Nu Mung Ba, follow it and learn what you can along the way. When you find the Colonel, infiltrate his team by whatever means available and terminate the Colonel's command.
Willard: Terminate the Colonel.
General Corman: He's out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. And he is still in the field commanding troops.
Civilian: Terminate with extreme prejudice.
Colonel Lucas: You understand Captain that this mission does not exist, nor will it ever exist.
