The world record locomotive Siemens ES64U4 (EuroSprinter U4) of ÖBB pushes a RailJet train into Munich Central Station.
This particular locomotive holds the world speed record for electric locomotives, at 357 km/h. The record was set on the high-speed track from Nürnberg to Ingolstadt on Sept. 2nd, 2006, while the loco was still owned by Siemens and carried the number 1216 050.
In May 2008 the ÖBB received the loco, since June 23rd 2008 she runs as 1216 025 for ÖBB.

Back to work after a long weekend I took the evening hours for a ride with the scooter of my son to take some shots. My tour went into the countryside of the Melle-Area in Lower Saxony. Enjoying the warm evening I read that this May is the warmest ever in recorded meteorological history. At least in Northwest Germany. Day temperatures in the mid-twenties and 10+ hours of sunshine are a pleasure for all of us. To be continued...

I flew up to Peace River (thank goodness for points!) with a few friends to see this Common Crane. It is only the second record for BC and was found by Jeannie Smith and Mark Phinney. It was feeding in a field with 2000 Sandhill Cranes. It is such a gorgeous bird. I was lucky to see this ABA Code 4 bird in the summer in Arizona but the views there were far more distant. I still can't get over that I have seen 2 very rare Common Cranes in North America this year!
This was my tenth new BC bird this year, which is crazy. What a great year so far!

RIP, Don White, 11/26/21.
My uncle Don passed away this morning. He was the original record collector in our family, starting back in the 78 rpm era. He had the largest collection of music of anyone that I have personally known. This was just a small portion of his collection that he was able to take with him when he had to move into a retirement home. Keep that vinyl spinning...
I went to Powell River to see my lifer Black-tailed Gull. It is a bird I have always wanted to see. It was a really long day to get there and get back home but was worth every minute. He flew all the way from Asia, the least I can do is travel 6.5 hours and take 2 ferries to see him! He used to stay on a rock in the middle of the ocean that you had to have a boat to get to but today he flew right into town on the government dock allowing us to view him from land. I also got to see a pod of Pacific White-Sided Dolphins frolicking behind him. I rarely get to see dolphins so it was a special treat. This gull is really stunning. It is a 3rd cycle gull and he has beautiful pale eyes, white eye arcs and that unique yellow bill with black ring and red tip. Plus of course his conspicuous black tail band and white rump. He flew into the ocean once for a quick swim and it allowed me to see that. He really is very elegant with his dark grey back and wings and black wingtips. I'm really lucky I got to see him so close to shore today. This is the 422 nd bird I have seen in BC. This is the second rare Asiatic gull in BC right now as a Slaty-backed Gull was found a few days later but has not been relocated.
This is a heavy crop but wanted to post it anyways since it is such a special bird.
This is only the 3rd confirmed photo documented record for the province of BC. This bird is listed as a code 4 by the ABA.

Without the knife ,this could be just a close up of a rose ,so I drew a cutting knife to show how big the rose is.
“Record Store UK” was a nationwide event that was scheduled for the 18th April but obviously didn’t go ahead.
There is great interest nowadays in vinyl records, cassette tapes and other means of recording music that had been thought of as being largely defunct and this has spawned a wealth of smaller, independent retailers dealing in them.
Vinyl Attraction in Newark had not been opened long and suddenly had to close again due to the lockdown. The window is always very interesting, with many discs and memorabilia featuring many groups and names from my youth, even some records that I actually owned.
The event is put back to June and, as yet, no news as to if it will actually happen.
Happy Window Wednesday!
So... My plan was to do badgers on the Mendips tonight, but they didn't show for what ever reason. Then I remembered the Nightjars were only a fifteen-minute drive away, so off I poodled.
I'd heard one out on the ridge the last time I was there, so I thought I better head in that direction. As I neared the top one flew right past me, I knew then I was in the right place. I stood and waited, but by then the cloud was coming over, and it was getting really dark really quickly, so I thought I'd bang it on the head, pick a better night and try again...
As I walked back to the fence line I could see a tiny blob about the size of a blackbird sat on a post, I couldn't quite make out what it was, so I put the pop-up flash on and hit the shutter button. 1/15 of a second was not ideal... had I thought about it, I could have changed the settings, walked up to the little fella (might even be a female as no obvious white on wing or tail outers) and got a better shot, but I was only thinking bird in flight captures... Anyway, I've now hatched a better plan... :@)

Last Monday we had a break in the weather so I had a walk at Cors Caron. On one of the baord walks that heads out into the bog I saw this shortie perched up in a tree that was right next to the path. I had no option but to keep walking nearer and nearer and I was lucky to get relatively close. It didn't turn it's head until the last minute and then it was off however it must have been aware of me as it's 'ears' are up. Hopefully it's the first of a few more for me this year.

Think I might have to work on the quality a tad.

This guy was over the Mendip hills, I spent a couple of hours looking for Ring Ouzels and Wheatears on Crook peak but blanked...
The Hobbies should be about now... thought I saw one last week out at Westhay. Can't wait to spend some time with them. Top sport. :@)
For the record. Photographing one or more Japanese Magnolia blooms per year has grown to be a tradition. A spell of very cold weather moved into north Alabama just as buds covered one of my "favorite" trees. I waited to see if some blooms would be salvaged. Finally a few unharmed blooms appeared and I tried to get one worthy of posting. Changes in traffic patterns over the last couple of years presented even more of a challenge. For spring of 2022, here's the bloom.
The first recorded mention of Nikozi occurs in a c. 800 chronicle of Juansher, who attributes the founding of the church there and the appointment of a bishop to the 5th-century king Vakhtang Gorgasali: „he built the church of Nikozi at the hearth of a fire(-temple), and installed a bishop where was buried the body of St. Ražden, who had been martyred by the Persians in the war with Vaxt'ang“. This account is reiterated by the historian Prince Vakhushti, writing c. 1745, who adds that a bishop still resided at Nikozi in his day, being "a pastor to the Caucasians, the Dvals, and what is now known as Ossetia, as well as Glola-Ghebi". St. Ražden's martyrium is also mentioned by the anonymous 13th-century Georgian chronicle Histories and Eulogies of the Sovereigns, which relates that one of the sons of "the kings of Ossetians", a disillusioned claimant to the hand of Queen Tamar (1184–1213), died in Nikozi and was buried in its church of St. Ražden.
The Nikozi cathedral and its complex was constructed over a several-century span. The extant church building dates mostly to the 14th–16th century, a bell-tower is a 16th–17th-century structure and an episcopal palace was built in the 9th–11th century. Several other buildings such as a bishop's residence, cells, a refectory, and various accessory structures were constructed in the 19th and 20th centuries.
During the August 2008 Russo-Georgian War, Zemo Nikozi was a scene of heavy fighting between the Georgian and Russian forces and Russian air attacks on 10 August 2008, which damaged the Nikozi complex, especially the recently repaired episcopal palace. Its renovated roof, floor, and balconies were burned down, and the original south floor stones cracked due to fire. Monastic cells, a bishop's dwelling, and the refectory were completely destroyed.
After the war, following an action initiated by the Council of Europe, a project was implemented for emergency stabilization works to the Nikozi complex, including preliminary onsite works, a new roof, consolidation and stabilization of the structure, and archaeological works, setting grounds for further rehabilitation works.
WelI I have sort of...at least it's not a camera! My charity shop vinyl find has had a hard day's night, by the looks of it!
Harvard Square- Boston, MA:
I walked into this record store and started taking pics of the graf that was decorating the place, the owner then informed me it was the last day of business and he'd like some pics to remember the store by....
I am posting this photo as a record shot of yet another Life Bird for Me. This has been a banner year for Me, adding many new and exciting birds to My Life List.
This Owl was photographed at a distance in fading light.

Perhaps inhabited since prehistoric times, Binns Hill may have been the site of a Pictish fort.
Written records begin in 1335, and record a land of the "Bynnis". There was certainly a manor house here by 1478, when records indicate the owner was an Archibald Meldrum, son of the late James Meldrum of the Bynnis. In 1599, it was owned by James Lord Lyndsay, who sold it to Sir William Livingston of Kilsyth.
In 1612 the estate was purchased by a wealthy and well-connected Edinburgh burgess, Thomas Dalyell. Dalyell was a butter merchant, who had become prosperous importing butter from Orkney to Leith (to be sold as axle grease). In 1601, he had married the daughter of Edward, Lord Kinloss and, when the Scots King, James VI, ascended to the English throne and Kinloss was made his Master of the Rolls in London, Dalyell obtained the lucrative post of deputy. In that senior position, he acquired enough of a fortune to return to Scotland and join the landed gentry. He bought "the lands of Bynnis and Croceflattis wirth the manor place thereof", and the Dalyell family have lived there ever since. Between 1621 and 1630, this Thomas Dalyell rebuilt the original house, and parts of the interior still reflect that period; in particular the north-west portion of the present entrance front, and decoration of the High Hall and King's Room (created in the hope of a visit from Charles I, which never came to be). These rooms still contain examples of some of the earliest cornices and mouldings in Scotland. Thomas Dalyell's more famous son, the Royalist General Sir Tam Dalyell continued the development of the house, adding the first of the towers, and the western range.
Today the house principally reflects its extensions of the mid 18th and early 19th century. In the 1740s, Robert Dalyell added the dining-room and a morning room, whilst around 1810, the architect William Burn (1789–1870) adapted the building to the Scottish baronial style, adding further towers and mock battlements. Some of the Gothic exterior decoration was inspired by Walter Scott, who was a friend of the Dalyell family. Today, the building is three-storey at the main north facade, with two-storey wings.
In 1944, the house, its parkland, its contents, and an endowment for its upkeep were given to the National Trust for Scotland by Eleanor Dalyell. The charter she granted states that the "history, legend and memory of the family of Dalyell of the Binns, shall be preserved..." for the benefit and enjoyment of the nation. However, the right of the family to reside in the house was retained. The former MP for Linlithgow and "Father of the House", Sir Tam Dalyell (1932–2017), lived in the western range of the house. His widow, Kathleen, is the National Trust's representative for the House of the Binns and heavily involved in its maintenance.
Einige sehr alte Papiere weisen einen derart hohen Lagerschleier auf, dass sie nur noch für die Lithentwicklung geeignet sind. Darüberhinaus nimmt auch die Empfindlichkeit ab, was zu noch längeren Belichtungszeiten führt, als sonst für den Lithprozess üblich.
Eines dieser Papiere ist das Record Rapid. Ich konnte eine größere Menge dieses Papiers in 50x60cm erwerben. Ursprünglich wurde es laut Versandaufkleber geliefert an Bernd und Hilla Becher, die damit letztmalig gegen Ende des vergangenen Jahrhunderts gearbeitet haben.
Um Frustrationen zu vermeiden, hier ein Hinweis zur Verarbeitung.
Der Lithentwickler darf nicht so hoch verdünnt werden, wie sonst üblich.
Garantierte Lithresultate bringt die Verdünnung 75+75 ml auf 900 ml Wasser.
Die resultierende Belichtungszeit ist durch Versuche zu ermitteln. Bei „richtiger“ Belichtungszeit liegt der snatch point zwischen 8 bis 11 Minuten.
Some very old papers have such a high storage fog that they are only suitable for lith development. In addition, sensitivity also decreases, resulting in even longer exposure times than is usual for the lith process.
One of these papers is Record Rapid. I was able to purchase a large quantity of this paper in 50x60cm format. According to the shipping label, it was originally delivered to Bernd and Hilla Becher, who last worked with it at the end of the last century.
To avoid frustration, here is a tip for processing.
The lith developer must not be diluted as much as usual.
Guaranteed lith results are achieved with a dilution of 75+75 ml to 900 ml of water.
The resulting exposure time must be determined by trial and error. With the ‘correct’ exposure time, the snatch point is between 8 and 11 minutes.
