A willow branch someone has attempted to break off by hand. Seen at the River Lee Country Park near Cheshunt.
RIP to this poor little man who spent most of his career operating a trash can. Didn't even get credit for his work in the Holiday Special.
But seriously sorry to see this little guy go.

MVPX 1507 smokes out the local UP power as it pulls out a cut of cars from the yard in Elk Grove, IL. This is the former Chicago Terminal operation now owned by Progressive Rail as of June 1, 2018. The railroad now goes by Chicago Junction Railway and rosters this sharp ex CP GP9. I managed to sneak away from the throttle for a bit this morning to grab some "company shots."
Word out of Marquette is that Empire produced its final pellets yesterday, August 3. It will take a number of weeks to draw down the stockpiles seen in this view taken on July 16 when the plant was still operating.
He was so inspirational and he lit up life for so many people. I still remember the day he was released from prison and you just knew in your soul, in your very being, that this was a moment in time that would reverberate around the world in a positive way. RIP to a very special man! "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall" Nelson Mandela.
The last picture of Blacky :-( Only a few days ago poor Blacky had his back ripped, Possibly Blackbird wars. He could still fly and looked like he might recover but a couple days later I found him waiting for me under our doorsill. looking like septicemia had set in but after a while he perked up ate some soaked mealworms and managed to fly into the hedge. The next morning as I opened the back door he flew down to my feet and laid on the ground. I put some food under him and he ate quite a lot and after sometime he managed to fly over the fence. two hours later he came back fed by my feet and went back over the fence never to return. His partner has been sitting on the neighbours garage for most of the two days since. Blacky was a special bird in many ways. Differant and smarter than all the other blackbirds. He always came running towards me when I shouted come on Blacky. Took my first pictures of him in 2017 when he was feeding his fledglings so he must have been over 8 years old which is a long life for a Blackbird.
Miss him so much
RIP Blacky boy
Looking toward the spot where Catherine Eddowes was found by PC Edward Watkins at 1:45 AM on September 30 1888. The focus is a little off, which was hard to do in the dark. The spot where the was found is near the top of the frame.
This is the south west corner of Mitre Square & became known as Ripper's Corner. I still think the area has an unsettling vibe at night when it is quiet.
Took this at night on my D7000.
