A shot of Sophie Rankin, taken at Box Studios in Shoreditch. If I'd known how smeared the mirror would be I'd have taken some Mr Muscle along!
It may look like any other river but this is about 5 miles from any road and kinda creepy. It was raining and the mist was coming off the water in dead silence.
For a southern city boy, knowing bears could be anywhere here made it rather exciting.
Stopping at the west end of the Brandon siding, the Rankin Turn starts working their first customer of the day. This is the location of a General Motors parts facility that still receives vintage 86-foot high cube auto parts boxcars.
After running around the empty consist on arrival at Rankin Dam , GWA005,GWU006 are stabled with the On line fuel tanks and crew van just short of the train while it is loaded with ore for CU river to export through Outer Harbour on New Years Day 2017

The Rankin Ridge Fire Tower is located in the northwestern portion of Wind Cave National Park. Situated at an elevation of 5,013 feet, the highest point in the national park, the tower provides a panoramic view of southeastern Black Hills and the surrounding Great Plains. It was constructed in 1956 and remained in regular use during fire seasons until 1998. As the National Park Service (NPS) notes, “public access to the catwalk around the tower and the inside of the tower has been limited [since 1998]. The public was last able to visit the top of the tower during the park’s centennial celebration in 2003. Currently, the tower is only used sporadically to look for fires or to monitor severe weather conditions. Naming Rankin Ridge and Planning for a Lookout Tower: The Rankin Ridge area became part of the national park on August 1946 when more than 16,000 acres of the former Custer Recreation Demonstration Area (RDA) were added to Wind Cave, increasing the total acreage of the park from 11,718 to 28,059 acres. Following this significant expansion, and in anticipation of the park’s upcoming 50th anniversary in 1953, Superintendent Earl M. Semingsen proposed naming this highpoint in the recently expanded park after Wind Cave’s first superintendent: William A. Rankin. The name “Rankin Ridge” was formally proposed to the Domestic Names Committee of the United States Board on Geographic Names in November 1951. A few weeks later, on 4 January 1952, Rankin Ridge received its official geographic designation.

A fire lookout tower, fire tower or lookout tower, provides housing and protection for a person known as a "fire lookout" whose duty it is to search for wildfires in the wilderness. The fire lookout tower is a small building, usually located on the summit of a mountain or other high vantage point, in order to maximize the viewing distance and range, known as view shed. From this vantage point the fire lookout can see smoke that may develop, determine the location by using a device known as an Osborne Fire Finder, and call fire suppression personnel to the fire. Lookouts also report weather changes and plot the location of lightning strikes during storms. The location of the strike is monitored for a period of days after in case of ignition. The typical fire lookout tower consists of a small room, known as a cab located atop a large steel, or wooden tower. Historically, the tops of tall trees have also been used to mount permanent platforms. Sometimes natural rock may be used to create a lower platform. In cases where the terrain makes a tower unnecessary, the structure is known as a ground cab. Ground cabs are called towers, even if they don't sit on a tower. Towers gained popularity in the early 1900s, and fires were reported using telephones, carrier pigeons, and heliographs. Although many fire lookout towers have fallen into disrepair as a result of neglect, abandonment, and declining budgets, some fire service personnel have made an effort to preserve older fire towers, arguing that a good set of human eyes watching the forest for wildfire can be an effective and cheap fire safety measure.
The Rankin River in South Bruce Peninsula was once part an important portage system connecting Georgian Bay with Lake Huron. The portage route was developed by first peoples and later adopted by fur traders.

Starting off what would be a great weekend on the KCS in Mississippi and Louisiana, the Rankin Turn heads out to work a couple of customers east of Brandon. Looking really sharp in fresh Southern Belle paint, the leading GP40-2 is no stranger to Mississippi, having been built in 1979 for the Frisco.

As I was finishing the loop around the Rankin Ridge Nature Trail, I came across this lone bison seemingly just enjoying a day out under some trees. Not having a long reach Tamron lens with me at the time, I decided to try pulling back and capturing the complete setting for this with the grassy meadow and the trees in this part of the national park. I found that sweeping view looking up to the bison best brought out the feel for this lone bison as it enjoyed the afternoon...

Rankin Octagonal Barn is a historic octagonal barn located near Silverton, Jackson County, West Virginia. It was built about 1890, and is an eight-sided frame structure covered with vertical wide board siding. Each side of the octagon measures 24 feet in length. It features a central cupola to provide light and ventilation.
Rankin Springs township is at the end of yet another railway tentacle into western New South Wales, albeit one of those that has been closed and left abandoned in situ. I thought this building was rather different to most, with adobe overtones if not colour. Always interesting to see something different.
A small town in south-central New South Wales. There is a petrol station, a motel and a pub (that serves great food). However, it seems most people choose to travel through, rather than stop at this quiet town, as is the case here as a heavy truck trundles through. Its pretty much the Australian equivalent of Radiator Springs from the movie Cars.
