This image, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the colorful "last hurrah" of a star like our sun. The star is ending its life by casting off its outer layers of gas, which formed a cocoon around the star's remaining core. Ultraviolet light from the dying star makes the material glow. The burned-out star, called a white dwarf, is the white dot in the center. Our sun will eventually burn out and shroud itself with stellar debris, but not for another 5 billion years.
Our Milky Way Galaxy is littered with these stellar relics, called planetary nebulae. The objects have nothing to do with planets. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century astronomers called them the name because through small telescopes they resembled the disks of the distant planets Uranus and Neptune. The planetary nebula in this image is called NGC 2440. The white dwarf at the center of NGC 2440 is one of the hottest known, with a surface temperature of more than 360,000 degrees Fahrenheit (200,000 degrees Celsius). The nebula's chaotic structure suggests that the star shed its mass episodically. During each outburst, the star expelled material in a different direction. This can be seen in the two bowtie-shaped lobes. The nebula also is rich in clouds of dust, some of which form long, dark streaks pointing away from the star. NGC 2440 lies about 4,000 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Puppis.
The material expelled by the star glows with different colors depending on its composition, its density and how close it is to the hot central star. Blue samples helium; blue-green oxygen, and red nitrogen and hydrogen.

August 2021 - [LCA/LCLK] Larnaca International Airport
"BELGIUM AIR FORCE 652" on a visual 22, coming in from Abu Dhabi Al Dhafra Air Base.
After almost 50 years in service with the BAF, their last remaining C130 is soon to be retired and replaced by another A400.
cn 382-4455, built in 1972.
The smoke stacks became visible over forty five minutes ago and remained resolutely distant. The road gets worse the further west you travel, over the last one hundred and twenty kilometres there are almost as many casualties stopped by the side of the road as vehicles passed. Mostly flat tires. And so, after a drive of five hundred and ninety kilometres we eventually arrive at our destination.
Descending down past the huge settling lagoons, the large old TETS sits to one side, a long ore preperation plant sits behind and in front of us is the smelter. The city lies behind.
This is Zheqazgan, a copper producing city almost dead centre of Kazakhstan. The world has an increasing appetite for this metal.
I already had a good look around on the satellite maps, and know that the smelters slag tipping is on this side of town. And a ladle train the first train we see, which makes us almost uncontrollably excited. Plodding back from the tip to the smelter, we easily overhaul the train. Jane watches in astonishment as we both leap out of the car with our camera gear and pile across the road and over the tracks. We have enough time to set up. The sun is on the other side of the tracks you see. Our activity gets us a wave and a whistle blast from the driver, who is probably bemused to see us there. This is our welcome into town!
TEM15-049 plods along with discharged slag ladles returning to the copper smelter at Zhezqazgan on the 3rd of April 2025.
The TEM15 locomotive is an improved version of the TEM2, similar to the TEM2M with a 1200hp Kolomya 6D49 engine. Most were destined for Cuba but never got there, Perestroyka, and production ceased at 194 locomotives, built 1987 to 1995, in line with the discontinuation of the 6D49 engine.
This is the end of part one of this trip, which shall recommence in good time. I must catch up with some domestic trains and also prepare the following series so I can show it to my own satisfaction. Thank you to everyone who has taken an interest in this project.
Only a few hundred meters remain to the destination. For 2TE10M-2310 and its coal train, the journey ends at the Ekibastuz-2 freight yard. The train is heavy, ordinary, and in this case, too, it consists of 64 wagons loaded with fresh coal. Because the train has to negotiate the embankment over the settling ponds slowly and then climb a gradient, the engineer has to change gears. This sudden change leads to more tractive effort, but beforehand to more fuel injection and sometimes unfavorable combustion. Be that as it may, "2310" is a smoker and shows it, almost without shame.

A short lane leads to a barn and silo no longer used. The original strength of these structures has outlived its purpose and will go on for some time. Older people often live long past their "use by" date though their memories remain strong.
The girls remained in Adrienne’s living room, but everything felt eerily altered.
“They can’t see us, but we can see them,” Kayla whispered. “I moved us between dimensions.”
Through the thick fog that now separated them from their previous reality, Adrienne clung tightly to Kayla’s hand, watching the two men enter the room. Their movements were sharp, calculated, as they began combing the house.
“No one’s here. Check the device,” one commanded.
The other rushed to the closet, his fingers trailing the empty space on the shelf where the device had been only moments ago. “It was here. Now it’s gone. They were here… and they have it.
A deep, guttural growl rumbled from the bald man as he surveyed the room.
Then, abruptly, he turned—his stare locking onto Adrienne and Kayla, as if he could see beyond the veil. His nostrils flared as he inhaled deeply… Adrienne held her breath.
“The stench is strong. They were here. Not long ago. Maybe they still are.” His voice was rough, primal, as his gaze scoured the space. “We will return. We’ll track their signal.”
Again, he took in the air, then slashed a hand through the space where the girls stood. It passed through harmlessly, though he swung again. And again.
Frustration boiled beneath his skin, erupting into another low growl. “I will have you both.” With that final promise, the two men turned and left.

A trifecta of Soo Line is in this shot! The last Soo SD60M, leading down the Soo Saint Paul Sub, over a bridge that still carries 'Soo Line' lettering. A win all around!
This was an epic chase, and day well spent with some great friends. Who knows when, or if, this will ever happen again... Lets hope the few remaining Soo units hang on for a little while longer.

The Naramata is the only remaining steam tug in the interior of B.C. This coal fired tug was launched in 1914 and was used on Okanagan Lake to haul fruit. Because of its steel hull it also was used to break ice on the lake in winter to allow navigation. The tug was retired in 1967 and is being restored at the S.S. Sicamous Marine Heritage Park on Okanagan Lake in Penticton, B.C. The tug is named after the small community of Naramata which is on the eastern shore of the lake about 15 km (9 miles) north of Penticton.

One of only eight remaining Grade II Iisted Odeons of 258 beautiful Art Deco cinemas built in the 1930's by Oscar Deutsch, this one in Hanley, Soke-on-Trent opened on 13th February 1938 showing Max Miller in “Educated Evans”. Behind this small entrance foyer on the corner of Trinity Street, the bulk of the auditorium along Foundry Street provided seating for 1,036 in the stalls and 544 in the circle. Decoration is in typical Odeon style with a slender 'Streamline Moderne' fin tower on the left side (dwarfed by the monstrous 1970's Brutalist concrete excrescence next door) and clad in cream faience tiles. The cinema was closed by the Rank Organisation on 15th November 1975 with Roger Daltry in “Tommy”. The auditorium was stripped out in 1980 and used as a storage facility but on 4th August 1982 it was damaged by fire, although luckily the main shell of the building escaped. It then lay derelict for over a decade: however in the '90's the building was renovated and by 1999 a bar was operating in the former foyer area. In 2003, the auditorium had been brought back into use as the Chicago Rock Café. In 2008 it changed hands again and become the Revolution bar & nightclub but that closed in 2012 and the building has been empty for the last decade. In December 2021 plans were announced to demolish the former Odeon to build flats. Although as at April 2023 planning approval hasn't yet been granted, give it enough time for the Council's apparent headlong dash to eradicate any traces of the City's past and yet another iconic and historic building will disappear for ever.

Lake Almsee is situated in front of the majestic mountain range of the "Tote Gebirge" which mirror image can be seen in the lake. In this area, still the landscape sets the ton: pure nature and carefully protected environment. The lake is still one of the last mountain lakes without shore nesting. Till up today, lake Almsee has remained a jewel in the Alps with its fauna.
Horses remain significantly important to many Native American tribes today, considered a vital part of their cultural identity, often viewed as a sacred animal with a deep spiritual connection, and still used in ceremonies and traditions, even if their practical role in daily life may have diminished compared to the past.

_MG_2396. Had taken pictures of this tree and one another close to it in 1998. only this one was remaining among the two this time. By the way this is sunrise. Bhaudaha VDC, Morang Nepal.
Steam remaining from a summer storm fills the air, alongside the drone of GE prime movers, as NS 126 pushes east under the coaling tower at Vicker on the final leg of its run to Roanoke.
The remaining snow is melting in the mountains around our little sea, a sign that spring is coming. This shot is taken with my father's 35 year old analog telescope lens with full manual settings. Unfortunately, I should clean it before shooting, but the healing tool worked adequately.
To remain neutral, to refuse to take sides in a dispute; often used in a derogatory way about someone who lacks the courage to decide:
Constructed in 1909 Campbell’s Covered Bridge is the only remaining covered bridge in the State of South Carolina. The 38 foot long, 12 foot wide pine structure that spans Beaverdam Creek was built by Charles Irwin Willis. Locals believe that the bridge was named for Lafayette Campbell, who at the time of the bridge’s construction owned 194 acres in the immediate area. On August 24, 1908, a twenty inch rain storm washed the original bridge away. The bridge has been restored in 1964 and 1990.
There were many distracting elements around the bridge which prevented me from getting a better composition. But this turned out well enough. Fall colors were beginning to fade a bit as well.
The bridge is located a few miles east off of Hwy 25 South within about 10 miles from the North Carolina border. There are signs on Hwy 25 indicating where to turn.

I'm not sure about this photo whether I should really write something about it or just leave it that way? Everyone can make their own thoughts about it and what they feel. Only this: This image means a lot to me, it was a long time ago - back in the days of analog times with my old Canon F1 - and it is an important part of me and my whole life.
Life goes on and this picture helps me a lot to do this now, because children give me everything and they are the hope for tomorrow. They are full of joie de vivre, real and authentic. The time with them was the best of my life, but also the most intense.
Don't limit your child to what you've learned because they were born in a different time.

Ludovico Einaudi - Una Mattina
After yesterday's post we return to standard railway topics, however still remaining near the cement plant "Kujawy" and the huge limestone mine. The facility contains one more curiosity, besides the previously mentioned cable car railway.
Me and Jarek have visited the station Wapienno a couple of years back and there was one thing I very vividly remembered from that trip. We were trying to find our way around the place to the station and searching for spots to photograph the limestone shuttle to Inowrocław. In doing so, we passed many places where a deteriorated track cut the street, and it was accompanied by a couple of lonely standing metal pylons. They very much looked like catenary poles, but what could they be doing here? I just thought they were taken from some tram network or used as lighting poles.
I later had gone on to disregard the topic completely, but a new breakthrough happened a few months back, when me and my friends were investigating the history and railway network of the Dębiec mining and metallurgical plant. We found it while browsing Open Railway Map, as it had an extensive railway network and was hidden deep in the forests of central Poland. We dug very deep in the internet and finally, in some remote corner of the plant's web page we found a picture gallery, showing the former glory of the local railways. Our jaws dropped in amazement, as we saw the network... electrified. Not only that, it featured pictures of the locomotives working there. They were the popular "Crocodiles" of the EL2 series from Hennigsdorf. "No way", we thought, "the locomotives only worked in the lignite mines", and quickly rushed to the EL2's Polish wikipedia page. There it was. "Apart from the lignite mine in Konin, the locomotives were delivered to the lignite mine in Adamów, the Dębiec plant and... the cement plant "Kujawy" in Wapienno". That's when I got a flashback from our previous trip and everything clicked. I knew I had to come back here.
I had to spend a couple more days, studying the cement factory's extensive railway network. By digging for a few more hours I found only a few pictures here aswell as one on Facebook which intrigued me even more. There I could read the comments of the former workers, which were very valuable.
The catenary, which covered the entirety of the complex - from Wapienno to Piechcin, used to look very crude. The wires were hanging from supports resembling those used on tram networks and the cables were very loose. Consequently, the pylons were placed frequently - between 25 and 30 meters apart, a third of the standard distance on normal railways. The catenary reached very remote places of the facility and spanned a total length - from my cude calculations - of around 9 kilometers. The remains of the catenary pylons are still there in many places and they fulfill the role of lighting poles nowadays, but wherever you see thin, long shadows, separated 30 meters from eachother. on aerial images, you can be sure that this was a part of the catenary.
This is exactly what we see on this picture. Further back there was a much more beautiful frame to be taken, but I really wanted to capture the remains of the catenary. Another reason for choosing this place is to talk about a now non-existant branch to the station in Piechcin (this picture shows the place where it used to be - the diagonal dirt path heading off into a curve and then later into the plant), which would have constituted a second track (to the right) in this very place. Catenary supports which we found lead me to believe that it also used to be electrified. Therefore PKP had two dropoff/pickup spots for trains to/from the mine and cement plant - in Piechcin and Wapienno. The branch also used to transport forced laborers from the very shortly lived prison camp in Piechcin (1950-1956) to the quarry near Bielawy.
On the picture is SM42-2083, heading to the place I call Masherbrum, which I will talk about tommorow. Congratulations if you managed to read through all this :D, I had no idea the text I had written would be so long. But when there is so much to discover... as far as I know, nobody had taken photographs of this place before me, because everyone always goes to the station Wapienno and chases the limestone shuttle to Inowrocław.

This Orthodox monastery is one of six remaining from the 14th - 16th century that can still be entered. Originally there were 24 but most are now just ruins. Locally known as the Monastic City of Rocks, The Holy Meteora to give it the true name is near Kalambaka in Greece. It's a trip worth making if you're fit enough to climb the many steps. Best viewed large :)) This image has now been made into an on-line jigsaw puzzle, so if that's your thing and you fancy giving it a try you'll find it on www.jigsawexplorer.com
Many thanks for your views and fav's, I love reading your comments and appreciate every one :))

From Wilkipedia:
The banded mongoose (Mungos mungo) is a mongoose species native from the Sahel to Southern Africa. It lives in savannas, open forests and grasslands and feeds primarily on beetles and millipedes. Mongooses use various types of dens for shelter including termite mounds. While most mongoose species live solitary lives, the banded mongoose live in colonies with a complex social structure.
The banded mongoose is a sturdy mongoose with a large head, small ears, short, muscular limbs and a long tail, almost as long as the rest of the body. Animals of wetter areas are larger and darker colored than animals of dryer regions. The abdominal part of the body is higher and rounder than the breast area. The rough fur is grayish brown and black, and there are several dark brown to black horizontal bars across the back. The limbs and snout are darker, while the underparts are lighter than the rest of the body. Banded mongooses have long strong claws that allow them to dig in the soil. The nose color of banded mongoose varies from gray-brown to orange-red.
An adult animal can reach a length of 30 to 45 cm and a weight of 1.5 to 2.25 kg. The tail is 15 to 30 cm long.
