BNSF's Kelly Lake Local runs west from its namesake to Gunn (near Grand Rapids), passing over the large bridge between Marble and Calumet, MN on Jan. 18, 2003. BNSF quit using this line and bridge a year later in February 2004, running this local and the Keetac trains south of Kelly Lake, to meet up with the Lakes Sub. at Brookston, instead of Gunn.
There has been off and on talk of restoring this line in the past 10 years, but the immediate prospects don't look good with shipments from the Iron Range considerably down in 2015. For now, this bridge above Highway 169 remains quiet, except for a few car storage moves that have been done over the years.
A good size local on this morning with BNSF 2336 leading 63 cars west (62 empty bentonite cars and a single empty coal hooper.). The Kelly Lake Local still runs on Saturday mornings out of Kelly Lake, but via Brookston with SD40-2s and much smaller trains.
“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.”
― Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It

The Looe Valley Line runs mostly alongside the East Looe River between Looe and Liskeard, where it links with the mainline between London and Penzance. It was how I arrived for my first holiday in Cornwall in the mid-1950s. Though in those days rather than having a DMU the train was hauled by a steam tank engine.
The railway was originally built in 1860 (eventually replacing a canal that runs alongside the river) to help move tin and copper ore from the Caradon Mining District on Bodmin Moor to the port at Looe, returning with Welsh coal and other supplies. At first, the line ended at Moorswater, alongside the canal on the outskirts of Liskeard, where it linked with a tramway up to Bodmin Moor. What was to become known as the Looe Valley Line opened to passengers in 1879, but it was not until 1901 that the line was diverted to reach the mainline station at Liskeard.
Corruption runs rampant and the Ansui know how to get ahead, dirty cops can always be useful for an unscrupulous Corporation.
Many enemy faction informants have been eliminated thanks to feigned justice, sometimes it's better to get someone else to do your dirty work so you don't get in the way.
"Get that money in the briefcase and get out of there fast, and make it last, you're starting to cost too much, the higher ups are starting to turn their noses up at you, and try to resolve this quickly... and if you hear anything, let us know immediately, we don't have a lot of patience."

اللَّهُ الَّذِي رَفَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي لِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ (الرعد 2)
Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; then He established Himself on the Throne (of Authority); He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His Law)! Each one runs (its course) for a term appointed. He doth regulate all affairs, explaining the Signs in detail, that ye may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord (quran 13:2)
Just metres before the small Waikanae River runs into the Tasman Sea, it hits some low-level sand dunes, forcing it to turn 90 degrees, and to flow an extra kilometre or so behind the dunes.
Eventually the river finds a gap in the dunes, turns another 90 degrees, and finishes it's journey into the Tasman Sea.
It is along this sand spit that Waders and a selection of Gulls can be found, so I never expected a flock of...
... 50 or 60 Grey Teals...!!! (The rest of the birds are stretched out along the shoreline to the left and right of this fivesome!).
Initially, I thought this was a flock of birds preparing for a long-distance migration, but although Grey Teals first arrived from Australia, these birds now reside in NZ year round.
And upon checking in with "Grey Teals - New Zealand Birds Online", I discovered that "...the preferred habitat is shallow freshwater lakes, lagoons and swamps with extensive marginal cover, but at times birds are seen on salt and brackish water." (nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/grey-teal).
So that explained why this large flock was feeding on the shores of the estuary - a site that one would usually expect to find flocks of Red-Billed Gulls, Black-Backed Gulls, Terns, and perhaps even a Godwit or two who have decided not to migrate to Alaska.
But a large flock of Grey Teals...? Definitely not a breed I expected to find...!
Thanks so much for the very kind and encouraging comments beneath this photo...! Your support is always greatly appreciated.

Mixed media collage, assemblage. Not sure if I have to somehow knock back the brown blob behind the pewter piece in the bottom right hand corner. I think it is a little too dense maybe.
Ed ecco un'altra coppia di E186 Railpool intente a risalire la lunga valle dell'Inn alla volta di Innsbruck e la rampa settentrionale del Brennero.

C&M 7014 plows its way across the new Walker Ave grade crossing on its way to the Grand Rapids Eastern RR interchange. Until last year, the road had crossed over the tracks via an overpass dating from the 1940s. The decision was made by the city of Walker, the Kent County Road Commission, MDOT, and the railroad, to remove the overpass and replace it with a conventional grade crossing. The bridge needed work, and it hindered visibility for many nearby businesses. C&M only runs a few trains a week through here, so a grade crossing was the best option.

Beauty is a reflection of divine bliss and, since God is Truth, the reflection of His bliss will be that mixture of happiness and truth which is to be found in all beauty.
Forms allow of a direct, 'plastic' assimilation of the truths - or of the realities - of the spirit. The geometry of the symbol is steeped in beauty, which in its turn and in its own way is also a symbol. The perfect form is that in which truth is incarnate in the rigour of the symbolical formulation and in the purity and intelligence of the style.
Beauty mirrors happiness and truth. Without the element of 'happiness' there remains only bare form - geometrical, rhythmical or other - and without the element of 'truth' there remains only a wholly subjective enjoyment or, it might be said, luxury. Beauty stands between abstract form and blind pleasure, or rather so combines them as to imbue veridical form with pleasure and veridical pleasure with form.
Beauty is a crystallization of some aspect of universal joy; it is something limitless expressed by means of a limit.
Beauty is in one sense always more than it gives, but in another sense it always gives more than it is. In the first sense the essence shows as appearance; in the second the appearance communicates the essence.
Beauty is always beyond compare; no perfect beauty is more beautiful than another perfect beauty. One may prefer this beauty to that, but this is a matter of personal affinity or of complementary relationship and not of pure aesthetics. Human beauty, for instance, can be found in each of the major races, yet normally a man prefers some type of beauty in his own race rather than in another; inversely, sometimes affinities between qualitative and universal human types show themselves to be stronger than racial affinities.
Like every other kind of beauty artistic beauty is objective, and so can be discovered by intelligence, not by "taste". Taste is indeed legitimate, but only to the same extent as individual peculiarities are legitimate, that is, just in so far as these peculiarities translate positive aspects of some human norm.
Different tastes should be derived from pure aesthetic and should be of equal validity, just as are the different ways in which the eye sees things. Myopia and blindness are certainly not different ways of seeing - they are merely defects of vision.
In beauty man ’realizes’, passively in his perception and externally in his production of it, that which he should himself 'be' after an active or inward fashion.
When man surrounds himself with the ineptitudes of an art that has gone astray how can he still 'see' what he should 'be'? He runs the risk of 'being' what he 'sees' and assimilating the errors suggested by the erroneous forms among which he lives.
Modern satanism is manifested, no doubt in a very external way but in the most directly tangible way and in the way which makes the greatest inroads, in the unintelligible ugliness of forms. 'Abstracted' people, who never 'see' things, none the less allow themselves to be influenced in their general mental outlook by the forms around them to which they sometimes, with astonishing superficiality, deny all importance, just as though traditional civilizations did not unanimously proclaim the contrary. In this connection the spiritual aesthetics of some of the great contemplatives will be recalled as evidence that, even in a world of normal forms, the sense of the beautiful may acquire a special spiritual importance.

William Street runs from the Victoria Bridge down to Parliament House in Brisbane, Queensland beside the river. It has always been a street of heritage and government buildings stretching across to George Street with which it runs parallel. The Star Casino and Hotel opened in the second half of 2024 now take up a huge and impressive footprint across the two streets. But Star which also operates casinos and hotels in Sydney and the Gold Coast is in deep financial trouble, somewhat associated with cost overruns in building this facility. It's not only Governments in this predicament these days. There are dire predictions about its survival.
This runs at an incredibly low rpm. Inside the building of the Heritage Society which is an old ice rink.
The western edge of the flat-topped Fan Gyhirych is in my opinion one of the best places in the Brecon Beacons for viewing winter sunsets. The Swansea Valley runs south west from here and the low winter sun sets seemingly almost down the bottom end of the valley. On this day, fog was expanding up the valley as the sun struggled to appear from behind a thick veil of cloud.
This is one of a sequence of shots from the same vantage point over the period of an hour as late afternoon light turned into sunset.
An alley that runs behind a few commercial buildings next to main street, Here it is behind a former weight house for the railroad and straight ahead is the former Chicago Great Western depot which now houses a Caribou Coffee.
