I have this awful habit of waking up sleeping things when I'm hiking. First the marmots, now this poor chap. I moved on quickly so he could resume his slumber. I am just glad it wasn't a bear.

These two were looking a bit tired from the demands of two youngsters to be fed. Today I am looking back at Cobbledicks Ford in June last year. I am really missing our monthly 'working bees' at Cobbledicks. Hopefully we will be able to resume before the end of the year.
As with everyone, Covid has made people put there lives on hold. This is one of my son’s who has been locked down in London for months. To see him run down the beach and run into the sea was quite emotional. I have the feeling that the new normal has arrived. Childhood can be resumed under a new set of rules.
Take care out there.
All the best......
This mockingbird was at the top of an Electric Pole singing. Every couple minutes it would fly up a few feet and then resume it's position.
St. Peter’s Square, Manchester, UK.
It is actually illegal to ride a bicycle in St. Peter’s Square but no one takes any notice…. Not even the police or traffic wardens!
With current temperatures in the seventies around our cabin, and in the eighties just to the north of us - Doc and I decided it was a good time to do a little traveling before borders open, and travel to our state resumes. So off we went . . .
After recent torrential rains, the Slana Slough looked so pretty in its summer greens, that I couldn't resist taking another shot of the area. The Mentasta Mountains are in the background.
Kazan Cathedral or Kazanskiy Kafedralniy Sobor (Russian: Каза́нский кафедра́льный собо́р), also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, is a cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church on the Nevsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Kazan, one of the most venerated icons in Russia.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1801 and continued for ten years under the supervision of Alexander Sergeyevich Stroganov. Upon its completion in 1811, the new temple replaced the Church of Nativity of the Theotokos, which was disassembled when the Kazan Cathedral was consecrated.
The architect Andrey Voronikhin modelled the building on St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Some art historians assert that Emperor Paul (reigned 1796-1801) intended to build a similar church on the other side of Nevsky Prospect that would mirror the Kazan Cathedral, but such plans failed to materialize.[citation needed] Although the Russian Orthodox Church strongly disapproved of the plans to create a replica of a Catholic basilica in Russia's then capital, several courtiers supported Voronikhin's Empire Style design.
After Napoleon invaded Russia (1812) and the commander-in-chief General Mikhail Kutuzov asked Our Lady of Kazan for help, the church's purpose altered. The Patriotic War over, Russians saw the cathedral primarily as a memorial to their victory over Napoleon. Kutuzov himself was interred in the cathedral in 1813; and Alexander Pushkin wrote celebrated lines meditating over his sepulchre. In 1815 keys to seventeen cities and eight fortresses were brought by the victorious Russian army from Europe and placed in the cathedral's sacristy. In 1837, Boris Orlovsky designed two bronze statues of Kutuzov and of Barclay de Tolly which stand in front of the cathedral.

In 1876 the Kazan demonstration, the first political demonstration in Russia, took place in front of the church. After the Russian Revolution of 1917 the authorities closed the cathedral (January 1932). In November 1932 it reopened as the pro-Marxist "Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism". or, as one contemporary writer put it more baldly, "Leningrad's largest antireligious museum", complete with Spanish Inquisition waxwork . Services resumed in 1992, and four years later the cathedral was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. As of 2017 it functions as the mother cathedral of the metropolis of St. Petersburg.
The cathedral's interior, with its numerous columns, echoes the exterior colonnade and is reminiscent of a palatial hall, being 69 metres in length and 62 metres in height. The interior features numerous sculptures and icons created by the best Russian artists of the day. A wrought-iron grille separating the cathedral from a small square behind it is sometimes cited as one of the finest ever constructed.
The cathedral's huge bronze doors are one of four copies of the original doors of the Baptistery in Florence, Italy (the other three are at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, United States, at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, United States, and at the Florence Baptistery itself).
The Kazan Cathedral is considered to be the model for the neoclassical style of Helsinki Cathedral, one of the most iconic landmarks of Helsinki, Finland. [Wikipédia]

As the swan approached to the margin of the water, I thought it perhaps had designs on our picnic lunch. (A woman on the seat next to us beat a hasty retreat.)
But the swan soon resumed its preening, which it had started in the water, and finally was energetically removing, with its beak, tiny feathers which fluttered down to the pebbly shore.
This Oregon/Dark Eyed junco was enjoying a snack when I interrupted. Soon resumed with the snacking.
"L’homme, l’artiste, l’individu s’effacent sur ces grandes masses sans nom d’auteur ; l’intelligence humaine s’y résume et s’y totalise. Le temps est l’architecte, le peuple est le maçon. " (Victor Hugo, Notre Dame de Paris, 1831)
"L’uomo, l’artista, l’individuo si cancellano in queste immense opere senza un unico autore; l’intelligenza umana vi si riassume e si somma. Il tempo è l’architetto, il popolo è il muratore."
"Художник, личность, человек исчезают в этих огромных массах, не оставляя после себя имени творца; человеческий ум находит в них свое выражение и свой общий итог. Здесь время зодчий, а народ -- каменщик."
"The man, the artist, the individual, is effaced in these great masses, which lack the name of their author; human intelligence is there summed up and totalized. Time is the architect, the people are the builder."
"人类，艺术家，个人，在这一座座没有作者姓名的庞然大物上都消失了，唯有人类的智慧却概括在其中，总结在其中。时间是建筑师，人民是泥水匠。"

Still very busy but I will try to catch up with your images this afternoon/evening. Normal service will resume on Wednesday.
Chanced upon a large flock of these beautiful birds in a corn field. The corn isn't ready yet, but that didn't stop these birds from grabbing a bit here and there. Both the males and females were actively having food - until a biker going too close disturbed them.
This female watched us cautiously for 10 seconds before determining that we are not risk and resumed eating the corn.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
Yes I know I’m spoiled, living in West Cornwall. There’s no arguing with that, nor denying the abundance of natural beauty on the doorstep. Every so often I have a dig around on the laptop, generally when I’m looking for something else, find a shot I took at some point, stumbled across and worked on a couple of years later, and then promptly forgot all about for another eighteen months. I don’t remember taking this one at all. So the exif tells me, it was in September 2022, exactly a week after returning from Iceland, with the lens that didn’t make it onto the plane. I was obviously feeling sorry for the 70-200 and had used it that day out of a sense of guilt - having empathy for inanimate objects really is a step too far from reality at times. I spent a couple of months wandering around in a stupor after that Iceland trip, going to the usual haunts with the camera without much thought for what I was doing. Everything in Iceland was so overwhelmingly magnificent that it’s almost as if the first few outings after my return to Cornwall didn’t even happen. Going through the motions, barely noticing where I was or what I was taking pictures of, and dreaming of Dyrholaey and Vestrahorn while pointing my camera at places I knew so well that the pictures just took themselves with little involvement from me. Those two weeks in Iceland were the trip of a lifetime, and all else paled into insignificance around that time. I still have so many plans for Iceland, but that’s another story for another time. Let’s return to Godrevy.
Jumping forward to today, I've barely been to Godrevy at all in recent months. Hardly set foot outside the house until quite recently in fact. Usually the winter season here is a great time for landscape photography. You can shoot throughout the day and the golden hour glow is often spectacular, but this time around, especially since the turn of the year, to say it's been slim pickings would be an understatement. Barely a day passed without rain in some form or another, and the sky seemed to be almost permanently hidden by an unmoving blanket of grey cloud that hung heavily over the county like a damp duvet. At the end of January the weather forecaster told us it was the wettest month on record in Cornwall. As February gave way to March, the announcement came that it was the rainiest winter ever down here. The garden was bogged down in thick mud, while our spirits clung to the wet grass for fear of sinking down below its surface.
Sometimes I'd try to embrace the conditions and don my waterproofs, but by the middle of March it was all getting to be too much. During those two months I went out with the camera just five times at home, three of them within the first eight days of the new year. Sometimes I managed to dodge the rain, but only just. As for Godrevy, during the winter months it’s not unusual for me to come here every week. Just twice since January this year though. Things have finally begun to improve at last as Easter waits in the wings, but we still have the odd horror show when it pours down from morning to evening without a pause. It doesn’t help that the van has been out of action all winter either. It’s always been particularly satisfying to pull up in the car park and put the kettle on. Hopefully next winter normal service might be resumed.
I had a few images in mind for this latest post, none of which were this one. Until I noticed it in a downloads folder on my laptop. And when I look back through recent stories, the last homegrown one was posted in the middle of January with an image taken a month earlier. So I think it’s about time I remembered my roots and shared something from here in Cornwall. Even if it’s an image I don’t remember taking because I was still dining out on an adventure I wouldn’t forget if I lived to be two hundred and fifty. In fact, the handful of outings in recent months have produced a small number of images worth sharing, so I’ll be sure to do so eventually. But not yet because the next big jaunt is just around the corner.
Dear Friends, Contacts and Viewers, today i´m back again to Lugar.Citadino Flickr to resume picture uploads.
The reason was that initially i´ve lost all my data from my previous laptop due to technical issues (an HP. Seriously, please never use a PC from this brand) but after the efforts made by a local recovery firm, i´ve recovered all the data.
This time was hard in picture terms. The possibility of a definitive data lost was at the corner, but with the professional help, i´m recovering the normality.
With a new laptop and all data recovered, in the next posts i´ll readapt to my Flickr.
I´m expect that the new and old photos will be sensational as always.
Sincerely,
Felipe Burgos Álvarez

Sometime in mid-September, the diamond between the CPR and former ACR at Franz, Ontario was severed, bringing over one hundred years of railroading tradition to a sudden and ruthlessly unceremonious end. Rumored to be the result of mounting maintenance costs and a lack of business, the railway between Franz and Oba now lies dormant. Here, heavy October skies set the tone as Canadian Pacific's Montreal to Edmonton hotshot no. 119 roars through the abandoned townsite of Franz and over the recently dismantled diamond. While the future of the ACR remains uncertain, Watco, the new operator of the line, has assured that a "One Way Low Speed" diamond is to be re-installed sometime in the new year when traffic is anticipated to resume.
GBRF 69001 'Mayflower' hauls newly converted 69005 on the 0Z69 Longport FD - Eastleigh Arlington Works - a move to take 69005 to the Works for attention to its bodywork before painting into GBRf livery (whatever that may be).
69001 then moved to it's home base at Tonbridge to resume duties. on 0Z69 Longport FD - Eastleigh Arlington Works through Hatton.
It was very touch and go with the sun but fortunately at the very last second it appeared - and so did the gusts of wind - so much so it was near impossible to keep hold of the camera never mind obtaining a phot.
I can't get out and about at the moment so have been going through a few old photographs. Normal service will be resumed hopefully by the weekend.

Back to civilian life! Last week was very eventful! Not because of the military training. It was because I have received 4 testimonials written by 4 flickrs friends. Wow!
I have not resume photographing yet hence, this was again pulled out from the archives. I am sorry that I don't have any more appropriate new photos that I can dedicate to them individually for the time being. Anyway, dear Flickrs' friends, please kindly visit the wonderful sites of these 4 wonderful friends who have continuously inspire me since I joined Flickr mid this year.
And not forgetting my dear friend from France who wrote the first testimonial for me.
Note: Thanks to Clare and Ebamo advice. We didn't know they will get hurt. We will take note of this from now on. Sorry to make you upset about this. Guess I choose the wrong picture this time!
What's this? Humans?
Maybe my misanthropic tendencies have briefly relented in the spirit of Christmas! Smiley face: :- )
(Don't worry, I'll resume moaning tomorrow.)
Huge admiration, by the way, for the couple I noticed pitching a tent amongst the observatory ruins at dusk. That takes some bottle. What an unforgettable Christmas experience, though.
My flu has relented and I can resume my neighbourhood walks 😊 the ice has begun to thaw, cracks appear but you can still see footprints where people walked on the lake recently.
A certain cat has been using the paving slabs to cool down. She was a bit under the weather last week but has now recovered and full service has resumed. I liked this shot because it looks like she has her arms folded in defiance, but she's actually just relaxing in the shade.
Having finished up their work at Titan America, Florida East Coast Railway local 905 out of Bowden Yard in Jacksonville is beginning their long shove from the end of Wilbur Wright Industrial Lead back to the mainline. Solo GP40-2 FEC 430, which was built new for the railroad in Dec. 1984 and was repainted in January 2024 in this special scheme to honor US Veterans, is seen beneath the never ending truck traffic overhead on Interstate 95.
This 5 1/2 mile long branch diverges from the mainline at a spot once known as Moultrie Junction in West St. Augustine at MP 37.1 just south of the Palmer St. crossing and only a quarter mile from the popular San Sebastian River trestle. Interestingly this industrial track was once the FEC's mainline prior to the opening of the Moultrie Cutoff between St. Augustine and Bunnell in 1925. Prior to that time all trains looped southwest to East Palatka via the route of predecessor Saint Augustine and Palatka Railroad which was built in 1885. The branch to East Palatka hung on into the 1980s though the bridge over the St. Johns River into Palatka proper had been condemned around 1948. It was first cut back to Hastings which the FEC served until around 1988 until finally abanding it as far as this point just west of I95 where it ends to this day. Even more interesting is that the short stretch of the branch near its start in St. Augustine is basically on the right of way of the FEC's oldest predecessor, the Saint Johns Railway, which was chartered in 1858 as a narrow gauge line running between St. Augustine and a steamboat landing on the St. Johns River at Tocoi. The aforementioned extension to East Palatka was built from a point known as Tocoi Junction that was a half mile or so west of the present mainline junction.
In March of 1862 Union gun boats destroyed the railroad’s dock at Tocoi Landing, burned the company's rolling stock, ripped apart its steam locomotive and confiscated its new rails which were shipped to Hilton Head, South Carolina. By the late 1860’s the Saint Johns Railroad had scraped together enough money to resume operations this time with mule teams before finally getting another steam locomotive around 1878. The little road was purchased by Henry Flagler in 1888 who was in the process of creating what would become the FEC, and though he standard gauged at that time it proved to be of little utility and was abandoned in 1896.

Following a tip off yesterday morning from a good Flickr pal of mine I was able with a little online research to capture this filthy pair, 37402 and 37419 on RHTT duties. Thanks for the nudge Neil. The duo are seen crossing Ackworth Viaduct, also known as the six arches.
From a positive perspective this is probably the nearest line to my new home, however the line is used for daily but infrequent freight and as far as I can see a nominal amount of passenger services. When steam specials resume they do occasionally use the line so I'll keep it in mind.
Alas the sun had shone brightly for the preceding half hour and returned within thirty seconds of the trains passing. Some you win...

2019 Formula 1 British Grand Prix, Silverstone Circuit, near Silverstone, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom. Race Day, Sunday 14th July 2019.
About the subject.
This is the British driver Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes AMG-Petronas F1 W10 EQ Power+ single-seat, open-wheel formula car, with number 44 painted on it, which is his personal racing number. Note the white lettering on the tyres (tires), indicating hard compound tyres.
Here, he is seen at the end of the race, driving off the track to get closer to the grandstand, so fans can get a closer view of him waving at them. I took the photo from my front row seat.
At that time, he won his 7th race of the 2019 season, and his 6th at his home race.
Hamilton, whose full name is Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton, was born on 7th January 1985, in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. His father bought him a go-kart when Hamilton was at the age of 6, and promised to support him in his racing career.
At the age of 8 in 1993, he started proper karting, and shortly afterwards started winning karting races and championships. One day he asked McLaren boss Ron Dennis for an autograph and also said he wants to drive F1 when he grows up.
In 1998, Dennis offered him a place in the McLaren driver development programme, and by 2007, he got a seat in a Formula One race. Making him, to date, the first and only black driver to drive in F1.
He came so close to winning the World Driver’s Championship in 2007, short of only just 1 point, but by the following year, in 2008, he won his first Championship.
In 2013, he moved to join Mercedes, and went on to win 6 more championships, making a total of 7 titles, equalling Michael Schumacher.
The F1 W10 EQ Power+ was developed by Mercedes-Benz for the 2019 Formula One season, and took 15 wins, 10 pole positions, 9 fastest laps, and the 2019 Constructor’s Championship.
Although Mercedes had been in F1 back in the 1950s, and withdrew from motor racing in 1955, the current Mercedes-AMG F1 Team started 2010 after buying Brawn GP. The team then went on to win 7 Constructor’s Championship.
Race Summary.
The starting grid in the following order was: BOT, HAM, LEC, VER, GAS, VET, RIC, NOR, ALB, HUL, GIO, RAI, SAI, GRO, PER, MAG, KVY, STR, RUS, KUB.
The race started, and on the first lap, the two Haas drivers collided at the exit of turn 5.
One of my photos shows Magnussen in car number 20 with a rear wheel puncture, seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/49955865996/
Both cars managed to pit, but Magnussen retired on Lap 6 and Grosjean retired on Lap 9, both because of the damages to their cars.
Bottas and Hamilton briefly fought for the lead, and later, Hamilton would lead during most of the race.
Leclerc and Verstappen pitted at same time on Lap 14. When coming into the pit lane, Leclerc was ahead, but the Red Bull pit stop crew were faster, and for a short moment, both cars were side by side while going through the pit lane, until Verstappen got ahead.
Around Lap 18, Antonio Giovinazzi, whom was running in 9th place, had a mechanical failure and ended up in the gravel at turn 16, forcing out a Safety Car.
My photo of the Safety Car is found here: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/49877436363/
When the race resumed on Lap 24, Perez and Hulkenberg made contact, Perez pitted for new wings, but would end up last in the race.
Verstappen overtook Vettel for the 3rd place, but when attempting to take back the position, Vettel locked up his brakes and collided into the back of the Red Bull. Both cars spun into the gravel, but managed to get back on the track and continued racing.
Vettel finished 15th but was handed a 10-second penalty for causing a collision, thus ended up 16th.
Lewis Hamilton won the race plus an extra point for fastest lap.
The results: 1: HAM (26pts), 2: BOT (18pts), 3: LEC (15pts), 4: GAS (12pts), 5: VER (10pts), 6: SAI (8pts), 7: RIC (6pts), 8: RAI (4pts), 9: KVY (2pts), 10: HUL (1pts), 11: NOR, 12: ALB, 13: STR, 14: RUS, 15:KUB, 16:VET, 17:PER, Ret: GIO, GRO, MAG.

While in the midst of this “wait a little longer” I am going to hush my incessantly worrying mind and harness opportunity. There is a “resume” button on the horizon. So here we go.
Time to press “resume” and move forward into this year with expectancy. Step into the future.
Do you need to recommence?

Part of my holidays have been spent in lovely Strasbourg.
I stayed at a friend that was generous to lend me his flat.
After the long day dedicated to traveling, knowing the house, getting something to eat I finally got sleeping.
Only the necessary time of sleep to make your brain enter pause mode and I wake with the true feeling someone was chainsawing the entire building... I had no escape in two or three floors my time would come. Time enough for my brain recover from hibernation and I could walk to window. The big chainsaw, actually bigger than the trams in Strasbourg, was doing rail polish. The road was long and it was so slow the workers had to stop walking and wait for it. Believe it or not the transformer resumed its business the next day only a 100 meters away.
Saint Barbara's Church (Czech: Chrám svaté Barbory) is a Roman Catholic church in Kutná Hora (Bohemia) in the style of a cathedral, and is sometimes referred to as the Cathedral of St Barbara (Czech: Katedrál sv. panny Barbory). It is one of the most famous Gothic churches in central Europe and it is a UNESCO world heritage site. St Barbara is the patron saint of miners (among others), which was highly appropriate for a town whose wealth was based entirely upon its silver mines.
Construction began in 1388, but because work on the church was interrupted several times, it was not completed until 1905. The first architect was probably Johann Parler, son of Peter Parler. Work on the building was interrupted for more than 60 years during the Hussite Wars and when work resumed in 1481
The moment I crested a small hill and gazed upon this tranquil scene I saw a golden opportunity to prove my manhood, something I often attempt. There is nothing better than scaring ignorant cattle, so I revved up the engine, popped the clutch (very macho, as I have an automatic), and blasted down the road with horn blaring and high beams flashing. At times I had to divert my attention from the exciting action to the mundane but important act of steering (life is full of compromises).
The cloud of dust I raised was almost an environmental disaster, which of course gave me great pleasure. But even better was watching the cattle run off in all directions---I have never seen lethargic animals move so quickly. What an ego boost! The clanging of their cowbells was just loud enough to be heard above the roar of my engine, so I yelled "More cowbell!" repeatedly, in honor of Christopher Walken on Saturday Night Live.
Once I reached the paved road I resumed a more cautious driving demeanor and forged ahead to Green River. The episode must have boosted my self-confidence because strangers looked with envy as I drove past. Women waved at me with an admiring look in their eyes: three or four times I stopped to express my gratitude for their attention.
I lied (twice)---I yelled "More cowbell" without thinking of anyone but myself and I only stopped once to express my gratitude (that one stop was long and tiring).
There is a rumor going around that none of this transpired and that I drove very slowly so as not to disturb the beasts. I disavow any knowledge of being such a sissy.
Carta (Sibiu County): Cistercian monastery
The city and monastery of Carta are located 43 km from Sibiu on the road to Brasov. Here are preserved the ruins of the Cistercian monastery, one of the oldest and most important monuments of the primitive Gothic church in Transylvania. The Cistercians are a monastic order originating in France and widespread in several countries.
The Carta Cistercian Abbey played a major role in the political, economic and cultural history of medieval Transylvania, as well as in the introduction but also in the dissemination of Gothic art in the inter-Carpathian space.
The monastery was founded in the years 1205-1206 by King Andrew II of Hungary.
The beginnings of the monastery are confirmed with the erection of its first buildings, used, as the Cistercians used it, from perishable materials, that is to say wood. These can be dated with relative certainty between the years 1205-1206.
The stone parts of the monastery will be erected between the years 1220 and the end of 1230. The construction of the monastery was carried out in two main phases of execution, chronologically interrupted by the great Tatar invasion of 1241.
In the first phase of construction, which has stylistic characteristics dependent on the late Romanesque, the general plan of the monastery was drawn, the walls delimiting its inner courtyard being raised to a height of 3-4m above the ground.
In 1260, after the assassination caused by the Mongol invasion in the spring of 1241, construction work will resume under the direction of a new architect, trained in the environment of mature Gothic, and with the contribution of a workshop of stone with an eclectic structure.
By 1300, the church and the eastern wing of the Charter Monastery were completed, with the completion and construction of the southern wing of the abbey continuing for approximately two decades.
The fierce struggles with the Ottomans from 1421 to 1432 and the decline of the order made the church and its monastery a ruin. This also led to its closure by King Mathias Corvin in 1474.
However, the west facade is still standing and above the Gothic portal is a large rose window. The tower attached to the facade was built later, in the middle of the 15th century, and its transformation into a bell tower took place later.
Currently, the monastery no longer has all the original buildings and annexes, many of which collapse. The vaults of the huge church have collapsed and there are only a few exterior walls and two interior beams (south and north). To the south, there is still a single Roman column, and the side ships, according to the Cistercian plan, end in a small square choir. The main ship no longer has a ceiling - in its place is a cemetery in memory of the German soldiers killed in the First World War.
The Reformed Church today occupies only the choir and the apse of the old basilica. The Gothic portal has probably been moved from a side entrance and its profile betrays Gothic influences.
Numerous examples of the tombs of the founders of Cistercian churches allow the existence of a royal necropolis under Carta.
