Another shuttle train loaded with thermal coal mined at the nearby Iron Senergy Cumberland Mine passes over Bridge #1, and alongside Whiteley Creek outside of Kirby, PA.
This unique and completely isolated railway began in 1976 under ownership of steel icon United States Steel, shuttling coal from their newly opened deep mine to Alicia Harbor in Alicia, PA along the Monongahela River, 17 miles away.
In 2020, current owner Contura Energy had announced their intentions to close the 40 plus year old mine by 2022, rather than invest in a new tailings pond which was nearing max capacity. Enter, Iron Senergy.
The sale from Contura to a completely unknown company, was a major alarm for the 700+ employees at UMWA Local 2300. Who is this Iron Senergy? What is it? Filings online showed that the company had just been created that same year. Its owners and C suite executives were unknown even. Public filings between this Iron Senergy and Contura had redacted the names involved with the mysterious company.
Contura couldn't wait to get Greene County, PA assets off of their hands. To the extent that the UMWA claims Iron Senergy was paid $50M to take over Cumberland Mine and other mining assets saving $169M in associated costs for Contura Energy, who after the sale would rebrand themselves to become Alpha Metallurgical Resources. Included in the sale was the nearby gargantuan Emerald Mine, which was closed in 2016, now flooded and full of water. 500 million tons of Pittsburgh No.8 coal reserves, a limited tailings facility (as mentioned earlier), the 17 mile long Cumberland Mine Railroad, it's Alicia Harbor and lastly the Labelle Transloading Facility which gave Iron Senergy access to transload from rail, to barge, then back to rail for loading onto CSX and NS trains increasing direct access for more markets.
In 2022 mining production reached over 6 million clean tons of coal, a substantial increase over the previous few years under Contura ownership. At time of purchase Cumberland Mine was operating 2 development segments and a single long wall miner. Iron Senergy executives made the decision to immediately bring in a 3rd long wall miner to increase production.
The moral change at the mine was instantaneous, creating a massive increase in productivity. 37% from continuous miners, and 20% in longwall mining. Since taking over in 2020 Iron Senergy has invested over $127M into expanding production of the property, with the most crucial investment being the building of a new tailings dump. In 2021, groundbreaking for CRDA #3 took place, allowing the Cumberland Mine facility to increase its life expectancy by another additional 20 years when completed.
Une étonnante bulle de bois et de verre abrite le «Comptoir wallon des matériels forestiers de reproduction» plus connu sous le nom du «Comptoir forestier». Il dépend du Service public de Wallonie (Département de la Nature et des Forêts). Un bâtiment avant-gardiste doté d'une superbe charpente de bois massif d'épicéa ardennais cintré à la vapeur. Point de départ de la filière bois, il participe activement à l'amélioration de la productivité et de la diversité génétique du patrimoine naturel qu'est la forêt wallonne. Acteur de sa gestion durable, sa mission principale consiste en la récolte des graines dans les meilleurs peuplements forestiers wallons. Il assure le tri, le nettoyage, la conservation des graines (matériel vivant) le plus longtemps possible et leur commercialisation régulière auprès des pépiniéristes privés.
An astonishing bubble of wood and glass shelters the "Walloon Counter of forest reproductive material" better known under the name of "Comptoir forestier". It depends on the Public Service of Wallonia (Department of Nature and Forests). An avant-garde building with a superb frame of solid wood of spruce Ardennes sprinkled with steam. As the starting point of the wood industry, it actively participates in improving the productivity and genetic diversity of the Walloon forest's natural heritage. As an actor in its sustainable management, its main mission is to harvest the seeds in the best Walloon forest stands. It ensures the sorting, the cleaning, the conservation of the seeds (living material) as long as possible and their regular marketing with the private nurseries.
This is a small-medium tern, 33–36 cm (13–14 in) long with a 67–76 cm (26–30 in) wingspan, which can be confused with the common tern, Arctic tern, and the larger, but similarly plumaged, Sandwich tern. The roseate tern's thin sharp bill is black, with a red base which develops through the breeding season, and is more extensive in the tropical and southern hemisphere races. It is shorter-winged and has faster wing beats than common or Arctic tern.
The upper wings are pale grey and its under parts white, and this tern looks very pale in flight, like a small Sandwich tern, although the outermost primary flight feathers darken during the summer. The adults have very long, flexible tail streamers and orange-red legs. In summer, the underparts of adults take on the pinkish tinge which gives this bird its name.
With their favouring partly hidden nest sites, the provision of nestboxes has proven a dramatic conservation success, with the birds taking to them very readily. This results in greatly increased breeding productivity with the protection given to the young from predatory birds like herring gulls. At one colony on Coquet Island, Northumberland, the population rose from 25 pairs (1997) to 92 pairs (2005) after nestboxes were provided.

2018 NJ BALD EAGLE PROJECT REPORT
by: Larissa Smith, CWF Wildlife Biologist
The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ in partnership with the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program, has released the 2018 NJ Bald Eagle Project Report.
“Two hundred-four nest sites were monitored during the nesting season, of which 185 were documented to be active (with eggs) and 19 were territorial or housekeeping pairs. Thirty new eagle pairs were found this season, 20 in the south, nine in central and one in the north. One hundred-twenty-one nests (66%) of the 182 known-outcome nests produced 172 young, for a productivity rate of 0.94 young per active/known-outcome nest. The failure rate was well above average with 61 nests (33%) failing to produce. The Delaware Bay region remained the state’s eagle stronghold, with roughly half of nests located in Cumberland and Salem counties and the bayside of Cape May County.”
The number of active nests has increased while the number of young eagles fledged has decreased since a high of 216 young fledged in 2016. During the 2018 eagle nesting season there was an abundance of cold, wet, windy and snowy weather which was the cause for a portion of the nest failures. As the eagle population increases, there are more eagles competing for territories. This can also be a contributing factor in nest failures. NJ is still in the range of 0.9 to 1.1 young per nest which is needed for population maintenance with a productivity rate of 0.94 young per known-outcome/active nest in 2018. The 2018 NJ Eagle Project Report has all the details on the project including telemetry, re-sightings and recoveries.
The success of the eagle project is due to the tremendous dedication of the NJ Eagle Project Volunteers. They monitor the nests in all types of conditions and education people about the eagles with enthusiasm.

You are at the edge of one of the most ecologically important places in Banff National Park.
Wetlands are scarce in the mountains. Water seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere else.
Glaciers deposited massive amounts of gravel, sand, and silt in this broad valley and its tributaries. In the 15,000 years since the glaciers retreated, annual flooding by the Bow River and its tributaries has carried much of the loose material into the relatively flat valley floor. Here, the river slows and as a result, its ability to carry sediments dwindles. Over time, the valley has filled with stream-borne sediments. Today, the Bow River meanders across a wide, well-watered floodplain atop those deposits.
These low elevation wetlands offer a longer growing season for plants and animals than valleys higher in elevation. Rich silt soils are more productive than the rockier soils on higher slopes.
Biological diversity and productivity, make these montane wetlands unique in the Rockies. Here you can see the boreal toads, Wilson's Warblers, beavers muskrats, and a variety of rare species.
Wildlife that travel widely depend on these wetlands for survival from the elk herds that winter here to the grizzly bears that sometimes fish for spawning while suckers in the Spring, to the migratory birds that arrive for the summer.
Leisure and Productivity - A Day in a Life
It's time for a change: workplaces need to weave leisure into the fabric of the workday.
Incorporating leisure isn't a luxury; it's a strategy to rejuvenate our minds and spark creativity.
Say goodbye to stress and hello to peak performance through leisure activities at work.
Leisure shouldn't wait for the day's end; it's a vital piece of the productivity puzzle.
When work includes leisure, satisfaction soars and engagement deepens.
We are more than our output; we deserve a work-life balance celebrating our humanity.
Imagine a workplace where leisure and labour dance in harmony, enhancing our intellect."
Shift the focus: It's not just about being productive but about feeling fulfilled.
An enriched workday awaits when we blend leisure seamlessly into our tasks.
Let's champion a workplace revolution where leisure and work unite for a richer life experience.

If you equate artistic productivity with work, then I had a late shift last night.
The workplace is in the fresh air, a stunningly beautiful work environment, and an extremely relaxed atmosphere. It's quite bearable.
Only the working hours are a bit difficult, as they're hard to predict. Add to that the constantly changing workplaces, some of which are quite far away.
Despite this, or perhaps because of it, I'm enjoying it very much, as you can clearly see here.
Oh, and I'm here in Bohemian Switzerland, on the Tisa Rocks. More information will follow with the upcoming photos.
Wenn man mal die künstlerische Produktivität mit Arbeit gleich setzt, dann hatte ich gestern Abend eine Spätschicht.
Der Arbeitsplatz an der frischen Luft, umwerfend schöne Arbeitsumgebung und extrem entspannt Atmosphäre. So lässt es sich ganz gut aushalten.
Nur die Arbeitszeiten sind etwas schwierig, da man sie nur schwer vorhersehen kann. Dazu kommen noch ständig wechselnde Arbeitsstätten, die teilweise ganz schön weit weg sind.
Trotzdem, oder vielleicht garde deswegen, gieniesse ich das sehr, wie man hier sehr gut sehen kann.
Achso, ich befinde mich hier in der Böhmischen Schweiz auf den Tyssaer Wänden. Weitere Informationen folgen mit den kommenden Fotos.

Upper East Side, Central Park - Jun 2008 - 085
These pictures were taken on two successive days when I had doctor appointments on the Upper East Side of NYC, and had the chance to walk along Fifth Avenue, and then through Central Park in order to return to my apartment on the Upper West Side, at Broadway & 96th
I had spotted this woman jogging in Central Park a little earlier -- how could you not notice someone in a bright pink top and pink hat? She had been running south, while I was walking north, and she went by too quickly for me to get a picture.
But about ten minutes later, as I was approaching Columbus Avenue and 96th Street, she jogged past me again ... she had to stop at Columbus Avenue, because of the traffic, so she was actually jogging in place when I took this picture...
Note: on Sep 26, 2012, I replaced the original version of this photo with a slightly edited one. All I did was some relatively minor adjusting of "hot spots" and "cold spots" -- but unfortunately, I was unable to remove all the monochromatic blackness in the woman's tights Unfortunately, the original photo was shot as a JPG image, before I learned about the benefits of shooting in RAW and making more subtle adjustments with my Aperture photo-editing program...
Note: this picture was published in a Sep 21, 2008 blog article entitled "Road Kill."

Still some corrections for improvement. Current version is 2.6. I think update of Japanese version is almost finish now.
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world[citation needed]. And is classified as Britain's only desert by the met office. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. After unsuccessful attempts to reintroduce the New Zealand bees at Dungeness in 2009-2010, the RSPB teamed up with the Swedish government in a second attempt and introduced 51 of them in 2012 and 49 in 2013 to the Dungeness Reserve. This will be continued each year, with RSPB staff conducting analysis of breeding to ensure a successful integration.[1]
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.

Friends, this is the face that goes with the name Katharine Hanna. My partner and caregiver Charles has posted an appeal on the crowd-sourcing website GoFundMe for assistance with expenses related to my incurable respiratory failure. Details are explained there. Here is the link:
www.gofundme.com/care-for-katharine
This is a paragraph from that page: “I need help to live so I'm reaching out to you. I want to live as fully as I can for as long as I can, God willing—and, if my energy allows, to continue making and sharing images of beauty. Recently my focus shifted radically from preparing to die soon to being open to improved energy, comfort, and productivity. At 5 feet 8 inches, I weigh 92 pounds and have extreme shortness of breath and weakness. I am oxygen-dependent (compressor and portable tanks) 24/7. Charles, my loving and loyal partner and care giver, has been carrying the weight of most of the household tasks and my care for over 4 years. My brother is very generous in helping us meet our monthly household expenses. Although my Medicare and supplemental insurance cover most medically-prescribed comfort measures (vs. curative measures which I discontinued entirely prior to starting hospice), other important parts of my care must be paid for out-of-pocket. And Charles and I can no longer pay for them without help. These include: a natural supplement (for improved energy and reduced occurrence and severity of lung infections); home care service 4 hours a week (to take some of the burden off Charles and maintain a clean and safe living space); durable medical equipment not covered by insurance (for mobility, safety, and pain management), and massage (to reduce the back pain and alleviate extreme dryness caused by medications). All of these make life in this body more tolerable and can free up my attention and energy for creative work ..." which I hope to continue as long as I live.
Recently I've been posting photos mostly from my computer archives. I hope to resume making new photos soon, especially flower macros. With love and thanks to all my Flickr friends. ♥
An incredible productivity boost.
