No information on this one for the moment, I may populate this report later with text but for now its a big hole in the ground, aka a Mine that has a pretty awesome feature to it…a huge cascade of abandoned vehicles flooding in from a hole at the top into a lake, now presumably full of all sorts of skin rotting chemicals :)…
One more frame of this fabulous scene from six weeks ago. I believe this was the last time 9017 ran on the Moosehead and maybe the last time she's run since. The last I saw was that she's been reported in Montreal since Feb. 21st. I'm not sure why that is or if she'll ever pass this way again. But I cut this one close and am glad I made the trip when I did!
Here's the original caption with the earlier posts.
Day two on the the old Canadian Pacific International of Maine Railway started with a drive west from Geeenville to Jackman where we set up a few miles outside of town for this few of the Canadian crew nearing the end of their run. Train 250 from St. Luc to Brownville Junction looks like the Central Maine and Quebec was never sold as its sole power was a pair of SD40-2F Barns CMQ 9017 and 9020 (GMDD London, ON blt. Nov. 1988 for CP with the same numbers). The 9017 received this Bangor and Aroostook heritage scheme in 2016 at the historic former BAR Derby shops to honor one of CMQ's component roads.
They are seen here crossing the Moose River between Attean Pond and Wood Pond two miles railroad west of town near MP 75.5 on CP's Mooshead Sub.

Located just outside the City of Piedmont in Wayne County, Missouri, Lon Sanders Canyon is a shut-in formed by McKenzie Creek as it winds its way through the rocky canyon, forming waterfalls and pools along its path. The remnants of stone stairs cut into the steep bluffs and two small rock dams are all that remain of a failed attempt by a St. Louis entrepreneur named Lon Sanders to build a private resort in the canyon.
Lon Sanders was born in Corinth, Mississippi, in 1866. In 1887 he came to St. Louis, Missouri, where he started the Sanders Engraving Company, which manufactured electrotypers and engravers. The business was a success, and soon Sanders had plants in St. Louis, Memphis and Chattanooga, Tennessee. I’ve been unable to find information to indicate when he started construction on his ill-fated resort, or why it was never completed. If anyone has additional information, please feel free to add it to the comments below.
According to local lore, the trail leading down into the canyon is allegedly haunted. People have reported hearing the voice of a woman faintly calling out from the surrounding woods: “Please! Help me.” To add to the mystery of the area, in 1973, Piedmont (pop. 1,977) gained national notoriety when hundreds of people reported UFO sighting in the area. However, in my multiple visits to Lon Sanders Canyon Conservation Area, I have yet to encounter screaming women or aliens.

The Sukhoi Su-22 (NATO reporting name: Fitter) is a variable-sweep wing Soviet attack aircraft developed from the Sukhoi Su-7 fighter-bomber. It enjoyed a long career in Soviet, later Russian, service and was widely exported to Eastern bloc and Middle Eastern air forces.
Source : Wikipedia
We can see the 57mm soviet rocket launcher UB-16. It was used in conjunction with other attack systems such as missiles, and was employed in various systems of Soviet origin, since fixed-wing aircraft (like the MiG-23) to attack helicopters (Like the Mi-24 Hind). The UB-16 launch the S-5 Rocket.
The point I don't understand is this Sukhoi Su-22 is equiped with a UB-16. This model was most time equiped with UB-32 launchers.
At auction, this vehicle sold for a reported USD$95,200.

This picturesque abandoned Forester's Cabin lies in the rolling hills of Germany. This simple wood cabin is warping and leaking after years of neglect.
The outburst of the comet was reported on January 4, 2016 by Michael Linnolt in Volcano, HI. US.
There look to be two tails, bluish longer tail with twisting and yellowish shorter straight tail a bit to the north. The bluish tail was long, more than two degrees at the night. North is up.
Earth Distance: 1.868 AU
Sun Distance: 2.007 AU
I was lucky enough to take this frame at the best date in the period by chance, though there came cirri frequently. I planned to take this frame before the trip, and I noticed the outburst alert in the morning.
This frame 3,896 x 2,574 pixels is cropped of the original 5,616 x 3,744 pixels, and it is comparable to a frame taken with the optics of focal length about 550mm.

Simone Martini (1284-1344) The Majesty (1315) - Hall of the Globe - Palazzo Pubblico Siena
La Maestà di Duccio di Buoninsegna, realizzata nel 1308-1311 per l'Altare Centrale del Duomo di Siena ed oggi esposta nell'adiacente Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, fu sicuramente il modello a cui Simone si rifece per la sua Maestà. Lo sviluppo laterale dei registri dei personaggi è chiaramente ispirato a quell'opera, così come la loro identità. I quattro santi protettori di Siena che sono inginocchiati ai piedi del trono sono gli stessi della Maestà di Duccio. Anche molte delle figure in piedi nella Maestà di Simone sono presenti nella Maestà di Duccio, in piedi o nelle lunette. La derivazione duccesca di questa Maestà non riguarda solo le identità dei vari santi, ma anche le loro fisionomie. Il San Pietro di quest'opera assomiglia a quella di Duccio e lo stesso dicasi per i quattro santi inginocchiati, per i due San Giovanni, per Sant'Agnese e molti altri. Le figure di Simone Martini sono tutte reali e raffinate al tempo stesso, dipinte secondo un'unica fonte di luce e il trono è riportato in prospettiva diretta e con i fianchi aperti a libro, caratteristiche che di nuovo rimandano all'opera di Duccio (e che quest'ultimo aveva ripreso da Giotto).
The Majesty by Duccio di Buoninsegna, built in 1308-1311 for the Central Altar of the Cathedral of Siena and today moves in the adjacent Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, was certainly the model to which Simone is remade for his Majesty. The lateral development of the characters registers is clearly inspired by that work, as well as their identity. The four patron saints of Siena, who are kneeling at the foot of the throne are the same as Duccio. Even many of the figures standing in Simone Majesty are present in Duccio's Majesty, standing or in the lunettes. The derivation of this Duccio Majesty does not concern only the identity of the various saints, but also their faces. The work from San Pietro resembles that of Duccio and the same goes for the four kneeling saints, for the two St. John, to St. Agnes and many others. The Simone Martini figures are all real and refined at the same time, painted according to a single source of light and the throne is reported in direct perspective and with the sides open to the book, characteristics which again refer to the work of Duccio (and that the latter had taken from Giotto).
