The Green Heron sits a foot or two over the water on a branch and waits for the prey to come by much like a Night Heron. When they see their prey they get ready to spring. A split second later this fellow was darting at the fish below.

Sitting forlorn in a beautiful setting, this attractive old house sits abandoned and going to rack and ruin in Tasmania's Midlands between Nala and Pawtella on Nala Road.

Wayne spotted this red reflector on the fender of an old bike during our visit to Working Bikes in Pilsen. It was at the end of a huge rack; one of many. Working Bikes is a non-profit organization that refurbishes donated and discarded bikes. It is housed in an old warehouse built in 1897.

La Vall de Núria
"The Valley of Núria"
is a south-opening valley coming down from the crest of the Pyrenees within the municipality of Queralbs, province of Girona, community of Catalonia, Spain.
The floor of the valley lies about 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level and is accessible from the south via a rack railway (the Vall de Núria Rack Railway) or by foot, and from France to the north by footpaths.
There are no roads to access the valley.
The place is historically notable for the 1931 drafting of the first Catalan Statute of Autonomy, in the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Núria.

A short rack train screams eastbound up Archer Hill just outside of Cheyenne, WY on UP's Sidney Subdivision. This was the first of four eastbounds in about 1.5 hours that would depart Cheyenne.
Window opening mechanism on glasshouses at Holkham Hall, Norfolk.
The glasshouses are in the walled garden The original 18th Century slate roofed plant houses were replaced in the 1920s by Thomas Messenger glasshouses. These were recently restored to their original form preserving the original cast iron fittings, window mechanisms and guttering.
A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprises a circular gear (the pinion) engaging a linear gear (the rack). Together, they convert between rotational motion and linear motion: rotating the pinion causes the rack to be driven in a line. Conversely, moving the rack linearly will cause the pinion to rotate.

This Pentax bellows set was purchased in Thailand while I was stationed there in 1972 (USAF). At some point in the early 80’s a friend milled out the Pentax screw threads and machined a Nikon bayonet mount into what was left. He used an indexing rotary table on a Bridgeport vertical mill (a really talented guy).
I have been using it on occasion for over 50 years. The Spotmatic II that I bought it for lasted about 7 or 8 years.
The frame is 1.5 inches wide.

The Montserrat Rack Railway is a mountain railway line north of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain. The line runs from Monistrol de Montserrat to the mountain-top monastery of Montserrat.
The line is 5 km (3.1 mi) long and has a rail gauge of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in). The first 1 km (0.6 mi) of the line, between Monistrol and the only intermediate station at Monistrol Vila, is operated by conventional adhesion. The remainder of the line is operated as a rack railway using the Abt system, overcoming a height difference of 550 m (1,804 ft) with a maximum gradient of 15.6 %. The line is electrified with an overhead supply at 1500 V DC.
The line is operated by the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC). (4/3/2015)
