Southern Pacific's Trona, California to Skyline, Utah coal empty emerges from the Thistle Tunnels at 0800 hours on June 22, 1996. Leading the charge are SP AC4400CWs No. 298, 185, and 377 pulling 84 coal buckets along the Thistle Line Change. Most of the land below the train was briefly under the flood waters of "Thistle Lake" in 1983.

A constant Simple Pleasure of mine. Taking the odds and ends of flowers and making designs with them before I have to throw them out ;o)

Remnants of old wooden Revetments. Revetments are used around coastlines to absorb the energy of incoming waves, protecting the shoreline from erosion.
These few posts are all that is left from a previous installation. Testament to the power of the sea.

Looking Close... on Friday: Ribbons
A quiet stroll in the Esplanade gardens this afternoon provided me with this lovely little autumnal scene - a small red tree with very few red leaves left. This little bunch nicely framed themselves between the lichen covered branches and against the glow of the autumnal trees behind.

CN L583 heads down what's left of the "Canadian Airline" through St Thomas. At one time this section was a triple track mainline used by CN and Wabash. Today it still serves local customers in St Thomas, as well as nearby Tillsonburg and is used by CN, OSR, and GIO Rail; but doesn't see nearly the traffic it once did. We managed to find what seemed to be the very last hold out of fall colour between here and London along the tracks which made for a nice scene.
Train: CN L583 with CN 4136 (GP9RM), CN 4716 (GP38-2), and CN 4717 (GP38-2).

Need to thank Teruki Yamaguchi for the tip on this spot; without his local advice this dam would have never made the list of places to see, much less been given appropriate effort. Please check out his amazing work.
Mosque "Gold Dome of the Rock". Moriah Hill is a place sacred to the three great monotheistic religions. Tradition identifies this place with a mountain of Moriah, where Abraham was to sacrifice of his son Isaac. King David bought the place, trying to build a temple to God. It does this by his son Solomon. In the year 587 BC the temple is destroyed by the Babylonian king Nabuchodozonor. Is then reconstructed to provide only the former glory of King Herod Great. In the year 70 AD, is destroyed by the soldiers of Titus so that "no stone left unturned." Western Wall is a remnant of this great building. After the Arab invasion in the seventh century, Caliph Abd al Malik raises great mosque, one of the most beautiful and important. According to Arab tradition, the Prophet Muhammad was taken away to heaven along with his horse.

Meczet "Złota Kopuła Skały". Wzgórze Moria jest miejscem świętym dla trzech wielkich religii monoteistycznych. Tradycja utożsamia to miejsce z górą Moria, gdzie Abraham miał złożyć ofiarę ze swojego syna Izaaka. Król Dawid wykupił to miejsce, chcąc wybudować Bogu świątynię. Dokonuje tego jego syn Salomon. W roku 587 p.n.e świątynia zostaje zniszczona przez króla babilońskiego Nabuchodozonora. Zostaje potem odbudowana, uzyskując dawną świetność dopiero za króla Heroda Wielkiego. W roku 70 n.e zostaje zniszczona przez żołnierzy Tytusa tak, że "nie pozostał kamień na kamieniu". Mur Płaczu jest pozostałością zachodniej ściany tej wielkiej budowli. Po inwazji arabskiej w VII wieku, kalif Abd al Malik wznosi wspaniały meczet, jeden z najpiękniejszych i najważniejszych. Według arabskiej tradycji, Prorok Mahomet stąd został wzięty do nieba wraz ze swoim koniem. We wnętrzu pod kopułą znajduje się skała na której Abraham składał w ofierze Bogu swojego syna.
Remnants of the smaller bridge still remain. I tried to find out info about the little bridge, but didn't find specifics. I did find a photo back in the 70's that showed a gravel area (looked like a parking area) to the right of this photo, that included an intact bridge. Large amounts of rain and glacial water create high levels, so I can see why a taller bridge would have been required for the township of Jackson Bay.
Yes it's bluebell season, just in case you hadn't noticed! I have a secret spot in Barnes's Grove that I like to visit and although the sun was casting a rather white light the scenes were pretty spectacular. Just hope for a bit of mist before they all disappear!
One from a recent meet up in wales with some friends. We spent the Saturday wandering Dinorwig from the top and bottom. My first time here and it blew my mind the scale of the place !! I was blown away by all the abandoned huts, work sheds, shelters, snap huts, which all truly showed remnants of a bygone era. I’ll definitely be back sometime soon with better light and conditions…
On the east side of Detroit is a piece of history in ruin. in 1903 this massive 3,500,000 square feet facility was known as the most modern automotive manufacturing plant in the world. Here, the luxury auto brand know as the Packard rolled off the assembly line. The company later became the Studebake-Packard Corporation. The plant closed in 1958 and was used by small companies and as a storage facility until 1990. Today the 40 acre location sits empty riddled with graffiti, vandalism, and other suspicious activity. I got to noticed what appeared to be 3 drug deals while I carefully explored.
One thing is clear and tangible to me in a way that it seldom has been: the world is full of God. From every pore, God rushes out to us, as it were. But we’re often blind. We remain stuck in the good times and the bad times and don’t experience them right up to the point where the spring flows from God.…
In everything, God wants to celebrate encounter and asks for the prayerful response of surrender. The trick and the duty is only this: to develop a lasting awareness and a lasting attitude out of these insights and graces—or rather, to allow them to develop. Then life becomes free, in that freedom which we have often looked for.

I fairly frequently travel to Melbourne with work but I've never taken my camera before. This time I made the change and headed down to a location I've wanted to photograph for a while. The sky didn't really come to the party but I enjoyed myself nonetheless.
Sunset reflection glows from the remnant cloud of yet another severe thunderstorm on the Queensland Gold Coast.
