Toujours partants pour un petit tour de capsule spatiale ! La journée a commencé avec un tour de piste, à proximité de l’ISS (une soixaine de mètres), pour changer de place de parking (Shane a maintenant sa chambre à l’étage, sur le dessus de l’ISS, plutôt que sur le devant). C’était agréable (et une très sérieuse opération) d’enfiler nos scaphandres et de réaliser toutes les procédures de départ… mais pour mieux revenir, il n’est pas encore temps de rentrer !
A good day to take our spacecraft for a spin! Just a short trip around the block, to re-dock to the zenith Space Station port and free up the forward parking spot for upcoming spacecraft, yes, there’s a lot of traffic up here! It felt good to put on our spacesuits and leave the International Space Station… just for a little while, it’s not time to go home just yet. 😃

Ermine, living underneath our house is always a good thing. They keep the rodent population down, plus I get to see the adorable kits if I am lucky. On this particular day, I watched as they were hauled out from under the house and whisked away across the lawn and driveway to the safety of an old tree stump.

This lioness was carrying her tiny cubs to another quiet area! Never seen such tiny lion cubs. What a precious moment!

Born to be wild!

The Spirit of Tasmania will be reolcating to Gelong which is a bit of a shame because she makes a great subject to photograph.
Not that we stole anything. We were moving this historical treasure to another location.

Hunkering in on a very windy day on a vernal pond near the bay, the Black-necked Stilts occasionally relocated themselves in the crowd.

Manor
This building, which is almost castle-like in appearance, radiates wealth and luxury. The owner was Squire Van Aeswijn, an acquaintance of William of Orange. He had the large manor house built in front of the farmhouse in 1617 – this included an extra floor, the landowner's quarters and an ample kitchen. Like many other noblemen from Gelderland and Utrecht, this Utrecht mayor was also interested in the opportunities presented by the running of large farms in Beijerland. He leased out the farmhouse to Jan Schillemans and it consequently became known as Schillemansstede. Only the landowner's quarters were off limits to the tenant farmer – this was where the squire lodged when he went hunting.

Dit bijna kasteelachtige gebouw straalt rijkdom en luxe uit. De eigenaar was dan ook jonkheer Van Aeswijn, bevriend met Willem van Oranje. Hij liet in 1617 het grote voorhuis bouwen met een extra verdieping, de herenkamer en rijke keuken. Net als veel andere Gelderse en Utrechtse edelen had deze Utrechtse burgemeester belangstelling voor de exploitatie van grote landbouwbedrijven in de Beijerlanden. Hij verpachtte de boerderij aan Jan Schillemans. Daaraan heeft de boerderij de naam Schillemansstede overgehouden. Alleen de herenkamer was verboden terrein voor de pachtboer. De jonkheer logeerde er wanneer hij op jacht ging.
This brown chafer (Serica brunnea) had taken a wrong turn somewhere and was crawling around inside my house when my wife found it.
So with the camera in my other hand, I brought it outside into the garden and placed it on a random pink flower for an impromptu photo session and this one came out better than expected.

Cuteness overload. Red squirrel (Eurasian squirrel) relocating at least 4 youngsters from one tree to another. First attempt to jump did not work out, so it is climbing down and up with the precious load.
So I don't know what gets into me sometimes but I ended up with this conservative plaid suit and well....thought what better place to hide until the trial, than as a quiet librarian!...lol
The Grade I Listed Conwy Castle built between 1283 and 1289 during King Edward I's second campaign in Wales. In Conwy, Conwy County, North Wales.
It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and managed by Cadw. It is also part of the World Heritage Site entitled Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd. The Castle was built along with the Town Walls at the combined cost of £15,000, (approximately £7.6 million in today's money).
Before the English construction of the town of Conwy, the site was occupied by Aberconwy Abbey, a Cistercian monastery favoured by the Welsh princes. The site also controlled an important crossing point over the river Conwy between the coastal and inland areas of North Wales and was defended for many years by Deganwy Castle.
The English kings and Welsh princes had vied for control of the region since the 1070s and the conflict had been renewed during the 13th century, leading to Edward I intervening in North Wales for the second time during his reign in 1282.
Edward invaded with a huge army, pushing north from Carmarthen and westwards from Montgomery and Chester. Edward captured Aberconwy in March 1283 and decided that the location would form the centre of a new county: the abbey would be relocated eight miles inland and a new English castle and walled town would be built on the monastery's former site.
The ruined castle of Deganwy was abandoned and never rebuilt. Edward's plan was a colonial enterprise and placing the new town and walls on top of such a high-status native Welsh site was in part a symbolic act to demonstrate English power.

After photographing six trains from the overlook along the river at Scenic Hudson Park I relocated into the village center for one last simple photo from the inbound platform.
Metro North train 8758 accelerates away from it's station stop on track 4. This is a 7:40 PM out of Croton-Harmon making a 1 hr 3 minute scheduled trip to Grand Central Terminal. The train consists of seven cars (various models of Bombardier 'Shoreliner' coaches of which MN operates 133 in east of Hudson service) shoved by GE P32AC-DM 231 (blt. Sep. 2001), one of four (out of 31 total on the roster) owned by CDOT and dressed in classic 1950s style New Haven Railroad McGinnis era colors.
This is about MP 22.7 as measured from Grand Central Terminl on modern day Metro North's Hudson Line, the former New York Central Railroad water level route which traces its history here back to 1849. In 1913 the NYC installed third rail electrification through here as far as Harmon, 33 miles north, a system that remains to this day.
Across the four mains on the outbound side stands the historic depot built by the NYC in 1889. Designed by H.H. Richardson's successor firm of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge in the Railroad Romanasque style it is a contributing property part of the Irvington Historic District which received federal designation in 2014. Closed as a ticket office in 1957 it has served in assorted non railroad uses over the ensuing decades and today is a lovely little café and coffee shop.
The brick building behind it dates from 1880 and was the home of Lord and Burnham, the largest greenhouse manufacturer in the country. And beyond it is the large neoclassical Trent building designed by Stanford White and built in 1896 as the headquarters of Cosmopolitan Magazine which was published here until 1910 when William Randolph Hearst moved it into New York City.
Today this route is astonishingly busy with over 150 MNCW trains passing this point on weekdays with electric MUs operating as far as Croton-Harmon and diesel powered trains to Poughkeepsie, 73 miles north. In addition another 22 Amtrak trains pass to and from points as far flung as Burlington, VT, Montreal and Toronto in Canada, and Chicago. Lastly rounding out the parade is a nightly CSXT road freight between Selkirk Yard near Albany and Oak Point Yard in the Bronx.

Now relocated to an undisclosed site. Don't ask where as I won't tell. This is a very rare duck now with less than 10 wild in the UK now - see earlier post for details of why there are so few.
This is what today's 106 train looked like back in 1993. Being that there was never any remotely controlled units the 3000hp unit up front was all the power in the consist, and that was oftentimes the case with this train. I have a few old printouts of the day's train traffic that I should dig out, I may be able to get cross reference with some of my photos and get the train numbers.
On this day I had taken some photos of the old CPR station that was relocated a few hundred yards off the right-of-way
CP Parry Sound - CP 6029 (SD40-2)
Prior to draining and desilting the pond on Feltham Green, the fish are being relocated. I saw some small fish being removed but was too late to see the big ones.

During WW2 Retford train station in Retford, Nottinghamshire was on a busy railway junction, many WVS volunteers passed through the station and used its facilities, at its peak between 1940 and 1946, the station kitchen served over 1,000 meals per day.

Rode around with a friend this past Saturday trying to get a few captures for his website.
I plowed snow myself for 4 years, so it's nice at this point to be able to enjoy a snow storm for it's beauty instead of burning myself out.
Changement de port d'amarrage hier pour le Soyouz d'Oleg, Mark et Piotr. Il s’est désamarré du module MRM1, est allé faire un tour à l'avant de la Station spatiale pour prendre quelques photos puis est revenu s'amarrer au module MLM dont ce fut le tout premier docking !
Soyuz port relocation! Oleg, Pyotr and Mark undocked from MRM1, went Station forward to take some pictures, came back Station aft to dock with MLM. First docking with MLM ever!

20.8.2014. The former signal gantry at Falsgave, Scarborough is still doing its job (albeit a little narrower) - but now at the northern end of Grosmont station on the NYMR.
LNER Thompson B1 Class 4-6-0 No 61034 'Chiru' (aka 61264) pulls into Grosmont station with the 10.25 Whitby - Pickering passenger service.
