I don't think this kind of image is possible without the use of infrared. It is pregnant with energy. The box belongs to the Bureau of Meteorology which has an official weather station at Low Head.
Weather Report was also the name of a very fine Jazz group, including saxophonist Wayne Shorter. Jazz is actually a nice way of describing infrared photography. Every shot is an improvisation and makes us see things anew.
CN 595 is done for the day after spotting two cars at the South end of Huntsville Yard for 450 to lift later that night while it passes some wicked old NAR flat cars fitted to haul concrete ties.
Anaklia (Georgian: ანაკლია) is a town and seaside resort in western Georgia. It is located in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region, at the place where the Enguri River flows into the Black Sea.
The earliest settlement on Anaklia's territory dates back to the mid-Bronze Age and is typical to the Colchian culture. It is the Classical Heraclea of Colchis, Anaclia of later authors, and Anarghia of Archangelo Lamberti and Jean Chardin (both the 17th-century travelers). After the fragmentation of the Kingdom of Georgia in the 15th century, it was an important fortified town, sea port and fishing station within the Principality of Mingrelia. In 1723, the town was captured by the Ottoman Empire and converted into its maritime outpost and slave-trading locale. Western Georgian kingdom of Imereti regained control over Anaklia in 1770, seizing the opportunity of Ottoman Empire being at war with Russia (Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774)). Solomon I, the king of Imereti, was supposed to be supported in this endeavor by a small Russian contingent under General Totleben, but the Russian troops retreated before a clash against the Turks.
In 1802, Kelesh-Bey Sharvashidze, the pro-Turkish ruler of the neighboring Principality of Abkhazia, capitalized on the internecine feuds in Mingrelia, and forced Prince Grigol Dadiani of Mingrelia into surrendering Anaklia, taking Grigol’s son and heir, Levan, as a hostage. When Mingrelia accepted the Russian protectorate in 1803, the Russian commander in Georgia, Prince Tsitsianov, demanded that Kelesh-Bey release Levan. On his refusal, Tsitsianov sent Major General Ion Rykgof into Abkhazia. In March 1805, the Russians took hold of Anaklia and threatened to march against Sukhum-Kaleh, forcing the Abkhazian prince to release Dadiani. The capture of Anaklia drew an Ottoman protest, however, and Tsitsianov hastened to disavow his subordinate and even apologize for his action, removing a Russian garrison from Anaklia. However, the incident added to an increasing tension between the two empires. When the next Russo-Turkish War broke out in 1806, the Russian forces restored Redoubt Kali and Anaklia to the Mingrelian prince Levan who would later relinquish the control of these forts to the Russian administration. (See Russian conquest of the Caucasus#Black Sea Coast.) In the 1850s, Anaklia was a small but strongly fortified seaport, which had a custom-house and carried on a considerable trade with Turkey.
Subsequently, the importance of the Anaklia port significantly reduced, but it remained a minor Black Sea Fleet base in the Soviet times.
After the War in Abkhazia (1992–93), a Russian peacekeeping post was opened at Anaklia in 1994. In 2006, the Ministry of Defense of Georgia reported numerous damages inflicted by the Russian soldiers upon the 17th-century fortress of Anaklia and accused the peacekeepers of installing latrines and baths within the walls of the fort. Following a series of protests by the Georgians, the Russian military post was withdrawn in July 2007.
A monument has been erected in Anaklia on May 21, 2012, commemorating Russia's expulsion of the Circassian people from the region following the conclusion of the Caucasian War in the 1860s. The May 21 date was chosen to coincide with the day on which the Circassian people themselves commemorate the expulsion, which the Georgian government has recognized as an act of genocide. The monument was designed by Khusen Kochesokov, a sculptor from the North Caucasus region of Kabardino-Balkaria.
This 4200 Report Monitor reel-to-reel tape recorder was manufactured by Uher factories in Munich in the early 1980s. It was primarily developed for professional use and was intended for use with 13 cm reels in half-track mode. The housing is made of robust die-cast aluminum, and in addition to numerous technical features, there were also many accessories, such as matching microphones, for use in interviews by reporters. The sound is excellent and enables perfect recordings in hi-fi quality! My device still works well and looks quite good.
Report from a photo trip to Lofoten - 20
Myrland Beach, Lofoten, Norway. This is the view looking northwest. A little to the right of center you can make out the constellation of Hercules. Another prominent constellation is further to the right and below: the northern crown (corona borealis). The brightest star at the top edge of the image, a little left of center, is Vega.
Report from a photo trip to Lofoten - 34
Spectacular multi-colored aurora seen from the beach of Uttakleiv, Lofoten, Norway.
I am often asked if this image of the aurora is what it actually looks like. The answer is no. But the reason is not that the image is manipulated in any way. The reason lies in the lack of color sensitivity of the receptors (cone cells) in the human retina. This is why we perceive the colors less well at night, our vision concentrates on the brightness contrasts. The optical impression of the northern lights is therefore dominated by the relatively bright green stripes, the red areas are hardly noticed and at least don't appear as strong as in this picture. However, with the long-term exposure, the camera sensor is very well able to record the actually existing color tones. As a side note, you can also see far fewer stars with the naked eye than in this shot.
The image was captured with the Nikon Z 9 in camera-raw format (".nef") and therefore needed post-processing (this is done in-camera when shooting in jpeg format). I basically applied my standard post-processing in Lightroom that I would also apply to "normal" daylight photos. Apart from that, color temperature was set to be a little cooler than recorded by the camera. Furthermore, I corrected the exposure up by about two stops to reveal the details of the cliffs. (I had chosen relatively short exposure times for night shots so that the northern lights do not show any motion blur and the stars remain points. In my experience, the exposure correction in post-processing essentially has the same effect on image noise as increasing the ISO value when taking the picture.)

"The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, held on 25 November, marks the start of 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, ending on 10 December, Human Rights Day. While lockdown measures aim to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, reports have shown an alarming increase in the pandemic of violence against women during this time. In May 2020, an article in the British Medical Journal1 stated that “the United Nations Population Fund has warned that continuing lockdowns for six months could result in an extra 31 million cases of gender-based violence globally”." (www.2020yearofthenurse.org/story/international-day-for-th...)
"The United Nations General Assembly has designated November 25 as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (Resolution 54/134). The premise of the day is to raise awareness of the fact that women around the world are subject to rape, domestic violence and other forms of violence; furthermore, one of the aims of the day is to highlight that the scale and true nature of the issue is often hidden." (Wikipedia)
I'll be honest: until this year I hadn't heard of this day. Although it's so important to be aware of it.
The secret is out, and the Canadian internet groups imploded after the release of five SD70ACU's painted to honor the Canadian and United States Armed Forces. Thanks to the team at CP for making this possible, as well as putting on a great ceremony at the Calgary headquarters on Remembrance Day 2019. The 5 meter barrier around the units was a nice touch, as every fan managed to get lots of sunny shots without having to use a people filter.
It's going to be interesting to shoot these units on the road, with the variations in dark and light paint each one will present challenges to the photographer, but its bette rthen dirty red!
Horace was pacing up and down the lounge, I said “what’s up old pal” he responded well tis like this Bri, I phoned Huw Edwards a few days ago at The BBC (Huw and Horace go back a long way, drinking in Tredegar) and asked why there had been no reportage or sightings of ‘The Beast Of Bodmin Moor’ recently.
Check what ever search engine you good people use, allegedly the beast is quite a fearsome cat like animal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_Bodmin_Moor
Huw responded “well Horace, we have had no information on the beast for some time, would you like to go out and report back”.
Horace looked at me with that cute face and asked if we could travel out onto the moor, I said “no problem Horace”, great he responded, I have your brothers Land Rover out in the drive ticking over ready to go.
So we rounded up Hoof, got in brothers Land Rover with Horace at the wheel and off we went. We came to this location on the edge of Bodmin Moor, you could hear Horace’s knees knocking, he was out the vehicle calling “here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty”.
We then could see the sweat coming off Horace’s brow, he spotted this large Y shaped object, he thought it was the giant wishbone of a dinosaur, which Horace felt the beast must have eaten for breakfast.
So Hoof being the only sensible one of the three of us, explained to Horace, this was only a piece of wood which just happened to be pointing at one of the very early China Clay dries, some say it dates back to 1900. Just up over from the chimney is the disused Stannon Clay works which was bought by English China Clays in 1919.
We felt that a trip to the nearby Old Inn, at St Breward, was required in order to calm Horace down. At around 720 feet above sea level, it is the highest pub in Cornwall.
Wasn’t long Horace was back to his old self, following a few pints, plus he and Hoof were playing spoof with the locals at a social distance in the beer garden.
Following H & Hs drinking exploits, guess who ended up driving them home😎
Have a lovely weekend, thank you for looking at my photographs. The comments and banter you leave are so appreciated.

Here is what Duncan had already written about: as we drove past, the assistant on the locomotive filmed what we were doing. Personally, I recognized this at first, but I wasn't sure what it meant. In concrete terms, it meant that a report had been made. And as soon as we were back on the main road and took the next picture from there, we had a visitor. A man got out of a car and said we shouldn't take pictures. OK, so we did that and drove off to leave the area. The whole region is afraid after ArcelorMittal was chased out of the country. No one can say exactly where the money for the Qarmet holding came from. Everyone reports, reporting makes free.

...is good! He is doing well and seems to be slowly returning to his normal self after the loss of his buddy Teddy--and the holidays, which are never his favorite time. Thanks for your concern and comments about him.
I haven’t posted for so long...I kind of lost my photo ‘mojo’...nothing new to take, no archived shots appealing to me (and wanting to fill my photostream with all of my unposted pics of Teddy, but they’re surprisingly rough for me to see, still...) Little Ollie was happy to oblige and pull me out of my posting drought, and sends along his Happy Furry Friday wishes :-)
What a cute little character he is...playful and cuddly, and my near-constant companion (mostly when awake, that is ;-) Lately he’s been letting me pick him up (and even walk him around a bit) and give him hugs. He’s back to playing a game he learned from Teddy, which is carrying a toy in his mouth while making meow sounds. (Lol, Teddy most definitely had a unique sound so we knew he was playing, but Ollie always sounds like he’s meowing for help ;-) I find a lineup of toys in my home office, and his favorite ‘plum’ toy can be found deposited in different spots all over the house; every now and then it even comes bouncing down the stairs seemingly on its own.
Today is a good day for cat napping—he spent the morning on his windowsill perch, the afternoon curled up next to ‘his’ heat vent, and will likely be found on my lap as the temperatures dip to the single digits outside by nightfall. Right now it’s windy and snowing.
I’ll be around soon to check out the latest of your posts...

Parallel rows of Eastern Sierra Nevada aspen trees in varying stages of color.
So, how good has this Eastern Sierra autumn color season been... or not been? To be honest, that is a tough question to answer. If it was the first time you've been there for the annual changing of the aspen (and other vegetation) and you got to the right spots at the right time in the right conditions... there's every chance that you found it to be incredible. And, to be honest, even when the entire range doesn't light up with autumn color, you can find great color in the area you are visiting and all is good. After seeing quite a few autumn color change cycles in the Sierra, for me this one was just OK. But, odd as it may sound, that has its pluses, too. One of them is that it gives me good reason to look more closely and to look in different places... and to remember that the experience of autumn is not just about colorful leaves.
I visited this spot a couple times during the eight days I spent in the Eastern Sierra over a period of a couple of weeks. On my first visit most of the trees were still green, and I had looked forward to returning a bit later when those green trees transitioned. Surprisingly, when I returned perhaps a week later I found that most of the trees here had already lost their leaves or that the leaves had simply turned brown. But I don't give up easily! late in the day, with the low-angle light coming from the right direction, it was possible to frame compositions that juxtaposed the bare trees with those that still held some color. I made this photograph just a few minutes before the sun dropped behind the Sierra crest to the west.
