miei cari amici,
la mia anima gemella e bella amica qui a Flickr ha perso un altro caro amico peloso o lei. E 'il suo terzo negli ultimi mesi. Mi dispiace per la sua perdita.
Vorrei poter rilasciare il dolore che ha, vorrei poter tenerla tra le mie braccia, ma lei vive così lontano ... Posso solo condividere sentimenti e pensieri.
Fate Susy dolce cura, una volta che si sta insieme acrosse il ponte arcobaleno.
sai angeli fanno volare ....!
Heathen
Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass
Ooo
Waiting for something
Looking for someone
Is there no reason?
Have I stared too long?
Ooo, ooo
You say you'll leave me
And when the sun is low
And the rays high
I can see it now
I can feel it die
Oooo
David Bowie
..on 2 counts...1, this famous Ash is on its way out....and 2, the lens I used died....so just taken delivery of a new (to me at least) wide-angle replacement. I think the lens will outlive the poor ol' tree.

WC train 34 rips through Rudyard on September 16, 1989. A recently repainted 711 leads 6543 and 6504 and 35 cars. I was rather concerned that the outbound crew would run the pair of 45's around the 30 placing it in trail before leaving Soo yard(the crews generally preferred SD45's leading)but on this evening engineer Gary Drow choose not to. I have a 2:30 start tomorrow and no idea what the day will bring so I'm kicking off 30 Thursday a few hours early this evening:)
At first I thought I would have to break something for the sake of this theme but after I looked around a little I discovered all this destruction. HMM!

Moment’s Notice admires the edge of Comb Ridge as it drops down to the valley of Comb Wash. Comb Ridge (TséyÃkʼáán in Navajo) is an 80-mile long monocline ridge, running from the Abajo Mountains to Monument Valley.
The monocline of Comb Ridge is a ripple in Earth's surface associated with the uplift of the Rocky Mountains 40-70 million years ago. The steep cut in the ridge on the right is the result of erosional removal of layers by Comb Wash, exposing the layers of uplifted sandstone making up the monocline. The top of the ridge is Navajo sandstone, most apparent off to the left on the gentle slope. The main part of the cliff is Kayenta sandstone.
The human history of Comb Ridge is rich. The earliest archeological sites contain remnants of Pleistocene hunting tools and mammoth bones. Particularly notable for the wonderful art they left on the rocks are several cultures of cliff dwellers, both hunter/ gatherer and agrarian (Basketmaker to Puebloan cultures). Utes and Diné (Navajo) hunted and grazed livestock in this area, and still consider it sacred. In Diné culture Comb Ridge is considered the backbone of the Mother Earth. Comb Ridge is part of Bears Ears National Monument, though during a certain president’s tenure the area was removed from protection.
Ripping down the Exeter Subdivision from Clinton, Ontario toward the connection to the Strathroy Sub. at Hyde Park is a Canadian National plow extra. The pair of GP9's pushing Russell plow 55614 are just running "a little over" the timetable speed limit of this old branch line. What we had hoped for of getting a pile of images, yielded just this bail out for the grab shot while crossing this bridge, as it was all we could do just to keep alongside on the icy roads with this 60 mph battering ram - January 21, 1984.
Charlies Watts passed away 24th August 2021.
Drummer for The Rolling Stones. I have been listening to the Stones since , well most of my life. Today feels like the end of an era.
I saw them on TV performing this song in 1964 and fell in love with Mick Jagger aged 6. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIKfN3CuFXA

Green Line trains meet at Madison/Wabash station on Chicago's downtown Loop Elevated. The 119 year-old station closed after the last Loop 'L' train service in the wee hours of March 16th, 2015. Here, workers can be seen preparing the station for demolition. It is to be replaced by a new, larger Washington/Wabash station- once it is opened, Randolph/Wabash station will also close.
Loved by many, my dearest loyal friend, walking companion and photo model has passed away. I miss him so much already; he will stay forever in my heart
Here is Amtrak 121 running through on a Monday in January of 2024. Had to take the opportunity before the roads got to bad to get a Metroliner in the snow and it was quite a sight to watch 11 cars make a big snow cloud and with only 1 ACS-64!
This is yet another portrait from a session that I always intended to revisit. A spontaneous moment in a frozen, windswept cornfield with Katie. And one of the takeaway images was a quick grab shot with an iPhone camera. Absolutely no urgency or sense of time. Just a quick capture as she looked back at me. My mindset then was "we'll come right back here in day or a week and do it all over again". Surely more and even better photos would result. And I would look back at this as a mere practice run. But a week later the corn was harvested. And shortly thereafter it snowed. And the session just got pushed back until it was eventually forgotten. Now each passing day tugs me a bit further away from the moment I pressed the shutter on this photo. It's like getting dragged inexorably out to sea by a rip tide. I saw Katie the other day and her hair was styled in a multi-color mohawk. I just smiled as I realized the proverbial shoreline had finally slipped from view. Not that she didn't look stunning in a mohawk, it just would not have fit into the moment I had tried to create here. We'll do another session some day, of that I'm sure. But this moment in the barren cornfield is now firmly part of the past, and there is simply no going back.

During December, I am going to post a few RIP pictures of buildings that were demolished in 2018 and this one from late in 2017.
I had been planning to photograph this farmhouse in winter on a trip to Riding Mountain National Park but was shocked to find it gone. It was located a substantial distance from the road at the end of a large fenced field with a private property sign. I photographed it with long wildlife lenses from the road. I can only speculate that it might have been demolished because others were crossing the farmer's field to get close to it. The land on which it stood was not being cultivated, as you can see.
The house looks like it was very solidly built and could have stood as an iconic reminder of the past to be viewed by those who took the Highway 10 route into RMNP for many more years.
