Russell Falls, Tasmania. Taken last week when there was virtually no flow over the falls. A few days later we had a storm with massive rainfall, so i'm sure it is flowing with full force now.
El amante, el poeta y el mÃstico encuentran una satisfacción más plena que la que pueden llegar a conocer quienes buscan el poder, puesto que aquéllos pueden retener al objeto de su amor, mientras que el ávido de poder tiene que embarcarse continuamente en alguna nueva manipulación para no sufrir un sentimiento de vaciedad. Cuando llegue mi último dÃa, no sentiré que he vivido en vano. He visto la tierra con los reflejos rojizos del poniente, el brillo del rocÃo por la mañana, y la nieve brillando bajo un sol aterido; he olido la lluvia después de la sequÃa, y he oÃdo al tormentoso Atlántico golpear contra las granÃticas costas de Cornwall. La ciencia puede otorgar estos y otros goces a más personas que las que podrÃan disfrutarlos sin su ayuda. Si es asÃ, su poder se aplicará a un uso sensato. Pero cuando elimina de la vida los momentos a los que ésta debe sus valores, la ciencia no merece admiración, por grande que sea su astucia y refinamiento para llevar a los hombres por el camino hacia la desesperanza.

There are some places in this world where you really do feel like you have stepped back into a different epoch. Once a part of the supercontinent Gondwana, the Australian and Antarctic plates were the last of the major Gondwanan continental plates to split, 45 million years ago. The subsequent isolation of Tasmania from the mainland has resulted in the remnant temperate rainforest with an incredibly diverse range of species descended from stock once widespread across Gondwana.

Not claiming any artistic merit for this one and I have posted it solely for the colour of the tiles - probably my favourite on the London Underground.
I have heard it suggested that in the early days of the underground, when the majority of people were still illiterate, they would use the colours of the tiles and their patterns to identify the stations. I have my doubts about this as steam trains were used initially and the smoke and grime would surely have discoloured the tiles in a very short space of time...
Baxter State Park, Maine.
Thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and favorites. They are greatly appreciated!
A pair of 5400's find themselves behind an ex WC Russell Plow as they cruise southbound on the Missabe Sub. Wings out and all!
Butte Valley is over the hill and the mountains beyond are the eastern Panamints. The trail over the hill goes to Stella's camp and to the chairs.
For several reasons, I prefer to stay at Russell's when I am in Butte Valley. I would love to be there now.
The CXRG Walsenburg Turn begins its eastbound assault on La Veta Pass as it exits the San Luis Valley behind a pair of ex-BNSF SD70MACs. The train is passing the former station of Russell, also known as Wagon Creek Junction, where the original 1876 narrow-gauge alignment continued northeast via Old La Veta Pass. The 1876 alignment was abandoned around 1901 when the D&RGW built the present standard-gauge route over Veta Pass nine miles south of the original mountain crossing. Until World War I, a portion of the narrow-gauge alignment east of Russell remained to serve a couple of iron mines owned by Colorado Fuel and Iron near Placer a few miles north of here.
"Russell" the only surviving loco of the original Welsh Highland Railway seen leaving Rhyd Ddu at Pitts Head while being paced by 1949 built Bedford OB/Duple Vista LTT 913. Bob Branch/David Williams Charter. Sunday 30 October 2022.
93 CSX locomotives (with more on either side of the frame) sit stored in Russell Yard. While traffic to Russell has returned to levels it was before the shutdown a couple of years ago, dwell times are through the roof with not enough manpower to get trains in and out.
Southbound M693-09 pops out of Russell Tunnel and through Haysi Jct on a dreary Dickenson County morning.
Many generations of Russell’s lived in this old home, circa 1870. Once upon a time, a wrap around deck graced this beautiful homes perimeter and a working windmill stood proudly in the yard. The original owner had 12 children...I could almost hear their voices echoing all around as I took this photograph.
Tasmania, Australia. Shot under slightly difficult conditions, as the wind was blowing spray from the falls right at us. Still, I managed this, which was shot as a vertical panorama (stitched but then cropped later).
