Brasenose Lane runs behind the colleges of Lincoln and Brasenose in Oxford and runs up to the Radcliffe Camera which is a beautiful building that forms part of the Bodleian Library. I have given this photo this title for obvious reasons. I just couldn't miss this little face sticking out from under the sleeping bag whilst his owner catches a quick sleep in not very salubrious circumstances.
Built as Cincinnati Union Terminal 25, this switcher is one of six Lima-Hamilton 750-horsepower switchers delivered to CUT, the only examples of this model ever built. After a stint on the Cadillac & Lake City, the rare unit ended up at the Whitewater Valley Railroad, where it is seen in 1981. Thirty seven years later, the venerable end-cab still operates, the only one of about a half-dozen surviving Lima diesels that does.
Hill River and Hill River Station.
The Hill River which runs parallel to the Hutt River rises in the Clare Valley near Penwortham. The Hill River was named after early explorer John Hill. William Robinson was the first lease holder of the Hill River run around 1841 with a partner but he was soon the sole lessee. Records show that in 1844 Robinson had 8,000 ewes and 2,500 wethers on his Hill River run. He gave explorer John Horrocks of Penwortham thirteen goats to take with him on his 1846 expedition to the north of South Australia. William Robinson sold the lease of Hill River run to Charles B Fisher in 1855 as Robinson thought Yorke Peninsula was better country but he was mistaken. Robinson built the first part of an impressive homestead at Hill River in 1849. In 1855 after he sold his leasehold to Charles. B. Fisher of Bundaleer, Fisher converted 60,000 acres of leasehold land to freehold land. He ran 40,000 sheep on Hill River and grew wheat. By 1875 50,000 sheep were shorn at Hill River and cropping was also a major activity. 4,250 acres were cropped in that year with a ploughing team of 34 horses and it was harvested by 37 strippers each with a four horse team! Hill River run was the largest farm in SA. In 1876 Fisher ( a son of James Hurtle Fisher, First Resident Commissioner of the SA Company) sold Hill River to John Howard Angas , a son of George Fife Angas. John Howard Angas paid the amazing price of £220,000 for the property which was then about 60,000 freehold acres. The Angas family still reside in and own Hill River station. The homestead was enlarged and extended in 1827 with the same sandstone as the original 1849 part. The stone was quarried on the property. These extensions were made when Dudley Angas married Mary Abbot in 1925. But the government forced closer settlement at various times and Hill River station today is a mere 4,000 acres but with extensive stone outbuildings from the grand days of the station remain on the property.
A male white-breasted nuthatch runs up the trunk of a tree, seemingly unaware of gravity. Nuthatches are common in our area; their distinctive sound is familiar in the woods.

🇫🇷 Cache-cache en couleur
L'automne est la saison des couleurs chaudes, du jaune jusqu'au fauve. Cela ne se dément pas dans la 🌳chênaie-hêtraie🌳où, à tous les étages, le vert s'efface peu à peu, laissant place à d'autres couleurs qu'un rien de soleil met en valeur. Le hêtre est l'un de ces peintres de la forêt, même s'il n'est pas le plus exubérant. Encore faut-il qu'il ait de nombreuses feuilles à colorier, car si l'été a été très sec, il aura perdu, plus que d'autres espèces, des feuilles dès la fin de l'été. C'est que le hêtre est un champion dans la production des feuilles pour la capture du rayonnement solaire, supplantant le chêne lorsqu'il le dépasse en taille, mais il le paie aussi cher lorsque l'eau vient à manquer.

🇺🇸 ️Colorful hide-and-seek
Autumn is the season of warm colors, from yellow to tawny. This is no exception in the 🌳oak - beech forest🌳where, on every floor, green gradually fades, giving way to other colors that a touch of sunshine brings out to best advantage. Beech is one of these forest painters, even if it's not the most exuberant. But it needs to have plenty of leaves to color, because if the summer has been very dry, it will have lost more leaves than other species by the end of summer. Beech is a champion at producing leaves to capture the sun's rays, outperforming oak when it outstrips it in size, but it also pays dearly when water runs out.

US Sugar's immaculately-restored ALCO Pacific #148 runs southbound past one of the many sugar cane loading facilities which dot this industrial railroad. This particular site is located in Palmdale, Florida. Yes, US Sugar is developing a steam tourist operation, but first and foremost, this is a working railroad, which hauls sugar cane from the fields to the processing mills. As cane is harvested, it is typically placed in wagons or trucks and brought from the fields to loading facilities such as this one. Special cane cars are then brought into the siding, past the loading dock, and one by one, are filled with raw cane. Most of these facilities appear to use some sort of winch mechanism to pull the string of cars during the loading operation. Diesel electric locomotives then bring the trains to US Sugar's processing mill, which is a massive facility just south of the City of Clewiston. As I understand it, ALL cane is brought to the mill by rail. There are no truck terminals on site. Cane load-out sites like the one pictured here are located all over the railroad.

In the city of Catania (Sicily) in occasion of the feast of her patron Saint Agatha, which took place on the 3, 4 and 5 February (this dates commemorates the martyrdom of the young Saint), and on 17 August too (this date celebrates the return to Catania of her remains, after these had been transferred to Constantinople by the Byzantine general Maniaces as war booty, and there remained for 86 years), when the Sicilian city is dressed up to feast, with a scent of orange blossom and mandarins, and its citizens show that they possess an extraordinary love and bond with the young martyr saint Agatha.
The religious sicilian feast of Saint Agatha is the most important feast of Catania, its inhabitants from five centuries, during the three days of the feast in honor of her "Santuzza" (young Saint), create a unique setting, with celebrations and rituals impressive, which means that this event is regarded as the third religious festival in the world (some say the second ...) after the "Semana Santa" in Seville and the "Corpus Christi" in Cuzco, Peru. Unlike other religious holidays, more sober, to Sant'Agata highlights a vocation exuberant typical of the south Italy, who loves to combine the sacred with the profane.
The cult of the young Santa dates back to the third century, when the teenager Agatha was martyred for refusing the roman proconsul Quintiziano. One year after the death of the young Agatha, on 5 February of the year 252, his virginal veil was carried in procession, and it is said it was able to save Catania from destruction due to a devastating eruption of Mount Etna.
The festivities begin with the procession of the "Candlemas", that are giant Baroque wooden "candlesticks" paintings in gold, each representing an ancient guild (butchers, fishmongers, grocers, greengrocers, etc.), which are brought by eight devotees; the candlemas anticipate the arrival of the "float" of Saint Agatha during the procession. Devotees, men and women, wearing a traditional garment similar to a white bag, cinched at the waist by a black rope, gloves and a white handkerchief, and a black velvet cap, and it seems that such clothing evoke nightgown with the qule the Catanese, awakened with a start by the touch of the bells of the Cathedral, welcomed the naval port, in 1126, the relics of the Holy which fell from Constantinople. On float, consisting of a silver chariot sixteenth of thirty tons, which is driven by a double and long line of devotees with the robust and long ropes, takes place the bust of Saint Agatha, completely covered with precious stones and jewels. On February 4, the parade celebrates the so-called "external path" that touches some places of martyrdom in the city of Catania; the next day, the 5 instead the procession along the "aristocrat path", which runs along the main street, Via Etnea, the parlor of Catania. On this day the devotees carry on their shoulders the long candles of varying thickness, there are some not very big, others are fairly heavy, but some skim exceptional weights.
I am posting here, on Flickr, photographs taken during the two days of February 4 and 5 of this year 2023.

Nella città di Catania (Sicilia) in occasione della festa della sua giovane santa patrona Agata, che ha avuto luogo come ogni anno il 3, il 4 ed il 5 di febbraio (questa data commemora il martirio della Santa giovinetta), festa che viene ripetuta anche il 17 agosto (questa data rievoca il ritorno a Catania delle sue spoglie, dopo che queste erano state trasferite a Costantinopoli da parte del generale bizantino Maniace come bottino di guerra, spoglie che ivi rimasero per 86 anni); per questa occasione la città siciliana è vestita a festa con profumi di fiori d'arancio e mandarini, coi suoi cittadini che mostrano di possedere uno straordinario amore e legame con la giovane martire Agata.
Gli abitanti di Catania, oramai da cinque secoli, nei tre giorni della festa in onore della "Santuzza", danno vita ad una scenografia unica, con celebrazioni e riti imponenti, che fanno si che questo evento sia considerato come la terza festa religiosa al mondo (qualcuno dice la seconda ...) dopo la "Semana Santa" di Siviglia ed il "Corpus Domini" a Cuzco, in Perù. A differenza di altre feste religiose, più sobrie, quella di Sant'Agata mette in luce una vocazione esuberante tipica del meridione, che ama unire il sacro col profano.
Il culto della giovane Santa risale al terzo secolo, quando l'adolescente Agata fu martirizzata per aver rifiutato il proconsole romano Quintiziano. Un anno dopo la morte della giovane Agata, avvenuta il 5 febbraio dell'anno 252, il suo velo virginale venne portato in processione, e si narra esso riuscì a salvare Catania dalla sua distruzione a causa di una devastante eruzione del vulcano Etna.
I festeggiamenti iniziano con il corteo delle "candelore", le quali sono dei giganteschi e pesanti "candelabri" in legno, in stile barocco, dipinti in oro, ognuna rappresentante una antica corporazione (macellai, pescivendoli, pizzicagnoli, fruttivendoli, ecc.), che vengono portati da otto devoti: esse anticipano l'arrivo della "vara" di Sant'Agata durante la processione. I devoti, sia donne che uomini, indossano un tipico indumento simile ad un sacco bianco, stretto in vita da una cordicella nera, guanti ed un fazzoletto bianchi, ed infine una papalina di velluto nero, sembra che tale abbigliamento rievochi la camicia da notte con la quale i Catanesi, svegliatisi di soprassalto dal tocco improvviso delle campane del Duomo, accolsero al porto navale, nel 1126, le reliquie della Santa che rientravano da Costantinopoli. Sulla vara, costituita da un carro argentato cinquecentesco di trenta quintali, trainata da una doppia e lunghissima fila di devoti tramite delle robuste e lunghe funi, prende posto il busto di Sant'Agata, completamente ricoperto di pietre preziose e gioielli. Il 4 febbraio, il corteo compie il cosiddetto "giro esterno" che tocca alcuni luoghi del martirio nella città catanese; il giorno dopo, il 5, il corteo percorre il "giro aristocratico", che percorre la strada principale, la via Etnea, salotto buono di Catania. In questo giorno i devoti portano in spalla dei lunghi ceri di vario spessore, ce ne sono alcuni non molto grossi, altri sono discretamente pesanti, ma alcuni sfiorano pesi eccezionali.
Io sto postando qui, su Flickr, fotografie realizzate nelle due giornate del 4, e del 5 febbraio di quest'anno 2023.
KCS BKCVN-24 runs south through Lenox Interlocking at Mitchell, IL after a 70-mph jaunt from Wann Interlocking on UP's Springfield Sub. The train will tie down in KCS Venice Yard while its privileged passengers enjoy another year of the Bommarito Automotive Group 500, an IndyCar Series race held at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, IL.
Note the work in the background to replace the legacy signals here, signalling the end of Lenox tower as a controlling agency at this busy confluence of St. Louis railroading.
Thanks to WR and MM for the heads up and periodic updates as this train crossed Missouri and Illinois.
31806 runs Tender first at Castle View crossing after having just Norden Station in the background. If a steam locomotive runs tender first is it running backwards despite going forwards or vice versa?
The Pink Ferry runs across the River Hamble between Hamble and Warsash in Hampshire, UK. The picture, shot from the Warsash side jetty, shows the iconic old shelter building. A late afternoon sunlit scene, wet ground from recent rain and receded tide, plus fulsome clouds created a great atmosphere.
