I am All about the mutual respect of man and beast.... this fellow was a surprise in a mod that I recently added, seemingly friendly even at close range.. so in game there was a sighing serenity of " shared space".
At least, not for today. However, back in 1977, you might not even raise an eyebrow at these three sitting at Yard Center. CN GP38-2 5514 keeps company with a SCL GP40 and an L&N U-boat. The first two are guests and the L&N is a tenant, sharing space with the Missouri Pacific. The owner does have a presence in this shot; check out the MoPac boxcar to the right.
Nikiforou Theotoki Street begins at Spilia and runs to the Liston. Previously it was the main shopping street of the town. There are churches, monuments and offices that accommodate philharmonic bands and share space with shops and emporiums.

I love our local community gardens - such a vibrant shared space of humans and wild creatures. Not that everyone gets along all the time. They don't. Both humans, and particularly birds, find things to squabble about. But, at the end of the day, it all works. And the gardens are filled with a chaotic abundance of flowers, vegetables and fruit, herbs, wildflowers, flying things, creatures, critters - Life.
This is the ever calm and curious mother Tree Swallow. She has become fascinated by Emmy. I"ll see if I can get a shot of them together this week. (And, of course, of the babies!) Amazing.

Ruby Begonia was posted here about a year ago, and is still quite the charmer. She's on a slightly extended stay this time and still sharing space with Dexter the bulldog and the kitty named Louie. Kind of surprisingly, to me anyway, they all get on very well.
The chickadee got a bit of a surprise when the Downey Woodpecker flew onto the opposite side of the feeder.
I may not always have time to thank you all for your visits and comments but rest assured, that I do read them and am very appreciative that you took the time to pop by and see what I see here "North of 7" in Rural Eastern Ontario (North Frontenac Township) or, where ever else I might be with my camera now that I am retired and loving it.
My favorite Somo River backwater is turtle heaven - so many of these little Painted turtles all over stumps, logs and the shoreline itself. These two caught my attention early, but it wasn't until I was heading out that I managed to get the boat in front of them. Miracle they didn't spook! They're only 4 or 5 inches long and so cute and surprisingly good climbers.
This had to be one of the biggest snapping turtles I've seen--- big as a birdbath....
Children were throwing food to it from a deck.
The smaller turtle (which was actually a good sized one) swam up and started eating with the big one---even had has head next to it's mouth many times.
(And the snapper's head was almost the size of the turtle....)
I was really worried about the little guy, but it wasn't necessary.
---The big snapper never showed any aggression towards the smaller one, and actually seemed careful around him.
Every time I've watched the turtles in this pond (and there are many of them in all types and sizes), they all seem to get along and share space really well. --and if they're not in the mood for company, they'll swim away....
We should be more like turtles... :))

And why would you want to go anywhere with a sky as nice as this? Central Oregon at night is a fantastic place to be. Even on Highway 97 here in Kent, with its well-known gas station, you share space only with passing truckers and a few wary coyotes. What's not to like?

Walt Disney World, Disney's Animal Kingdom - 03/16/10
A Roseate Spoonbill sits on her new nest in the entry area of Disney's Animal Kingdom. There were 3 nests formed around the base of a tree; she was sharing space with 2 other Spoonbill families.
Had a chance to skip out yesterday between projects. The choice was to clean the house or go to WDW...didn't take long to make that decision.
It'll take me a while to get caught up with the feedback, but I'm on it!
Birthdays: Big bashes, day time cruises, and dancing into the night are phenomenal ways to celebrate your next birthday, or perhaps you'd like to surprise a special someone with the ultimate party that tops all others. Why face the hassle of crowds and shared spaces when the luxurious Solstice, a one of a kind private yacht, can be the backdrop to an unforgettable night filled with spectacular views, and premier service in an exclusive and private environment!
I'm a little late to the draw for Thirty (Five) Thursday, being that it's now Friday. But nevertheless, here's a 1 April 1984 (Conrail's eighth birthday) view from the DeWitt service tracks, of SD-35 No. 6050 sharing space alongside other now-exotic power like a first generation end cab switcher. Those with a keen eye will even spot a GP-30 buried within the lineup!
Soviet era flats (apartments) in Łódź, Poland
The popular view, at least in The West, is the USSR left a legacy of low cost, badly designed and built housing. Nonetheless the residents I spoke to were very fond of them. They liked the sense of community and the overlooked shared spaces where everybody keeps an eye on the kids playing outside.
I am heading back to Tanzania tomorrow and not sure if or when I'll have time for another post before mid-February. So I wanted to leave everyone with a new Peregrine photo that I mined only yesterday. There will be plenty of time to get tired of my Africa stuff later. About three days out of the nest this fledgling tiercel was not only playing with foliage, but he had chosen a lovely setting in which to do so. Peregrines are carnivorous so it certainly wasn't eating this leaf. Feeling very privileged once again to have shared space with this Peregrine Falcon family. All of my images were captured either from a blind, dressed in camouflage head to toe or, most often, both. Peregrine Falcons are still endangered in the eastern states and have had a tough enough time without me adding any undue stress. June 12, 2016

Exploring the Alaskan forest is an adventure that never fails to captivate me. I remain vigilant, fully aware that the wildlife around me might be watching. One unforgettable morning, I experienced a remarkable connection with nature when I caught sight of a lynx nestled among the spruce and willows, its eyes keenly focused on me. For a brief moment, I spoke softly to this magnificent creature, acknowledging our shared space, before I continued on my journey, allowing it to return peacefully to its rest. Each encounter in this wild landscape deepens my appreciation for the beauty and mystery of nature.
So this year i turn 30. And i wanted to do the biggest personal piece to date. She's 25 feet long.
Winter wonderland.

Niagara Falls' afternoon road switcher L035 performs an interplant move at Van De Mark Chemical in Lockport, NY shuffling the order of tank cars inside as requested by the customer.
Things are not the same as when I first started shooting this place four years ago. In this shot, the crew is swapping the order of cars to set themselves up for success on their next trip out. The car they are handling was spotted as a fresh load the previous week, and the car to the left has been in-plant for many weeks already, partially empty but not yet ready to pull. Making this move facilitates an easy pull for the crew once the outer car is finally released. Makes for good shots in and and around the plant, but that's about it. The two mile journey to switch the customer off of the mainline is otherwise light power both directions on days like these. It didn't used to be this way...
Van De Mark is arguably my most shot customer in Western New York. It's a place I simply never tire of shooting for whatever reason. Over the last four years, just when I think I've run out I find new angles to try, and get a little bit ballsier with each one. Thankfully the workers here are friendly people, they've certainly seen a lot of me in that time. Located on a switchback coming off of the now mostly abandoned Somerset Railroad, I consider this region the most scenic 2.6 miles of railroad this state has to offer. There's plenty of other overlooks in the state which would easily win that title, but for my money this area is it. With the shutdown of the coal-fired Kintigh Generating Station in Somerset, NY in 2019, the majority of the branch which starts in Lockport at CP PORT was filed for abandonment in 2020, finally ripped out privately in 2022 following a limited number of scrap runs up to Somerset on the part of CSX in 2021. The line now ends at QDK 2.6, four tenths of a mile north of the switchback switch, known as Mill St, at QDK 2.2. On the suggestion of one of my CSX friends, the private holding company who owns the right of way left in the extra stretch after the switch, in case of switching maneuvers requiring a gravity drop. The first couple miles of the Somerset features turned New York Central searchlights at PORT, an S curve, a road crossing in a valley, more curves, the Gulf Bridge above the valley floor, a downhill slope through the man-made rock cut where track was laid in the 1980s, and the switchback itself which climbs the hillside before descending back down grade to Mill St. The industry is merely the cherry on top, with its pseudo street running leading into the plant. Next door to Van De Mark another chemical customer Twin Lakes used to take cars, but has not been a CSX customer for what I've been told is a couple decades. Prior to the Somerset and switchback being installed on the west side of Mill St, Lowertown Lockport as it's referred to was accessed via real street running from the east side down Mill St, dating back into the New York Central and early Conrail days. This method was abandoned with the advent of Somerset. If any of this is hard to visualize, just go look at it on Google Maps, it'll make a lot more sense. Eventually I'll upload more shots of every nook and cranny I've shot. Until then, the rest of the story goes like this.
When I first started shooting here, my first daylight shots coming on April Fools Day 2021, activity was a lot more lively. Well, that's because the space inside Van De Mark was shared by a second customer, fittingly also starting with the same first three letters. A company by the name of Vanchlor down in the valley underneath the Gulf Bridge received their own tank cars in the plant on Mill St, either trucking it the short distance around the corner, or to my surprise even piping through the grade separations. Walking out to the Gulf Bridge once in 2022, I found pipes embedded within the hillside. I didn't put it together at the time that that's what those were for, but it makes sense knowing what I do now. With both customers sharing space, switching here was usually once a week, rarely twice but it did happen a handful of times. A third track inside the plant housed the Vanchlor cars all on the left side, while Van De Mark has always kept their own on the far right. In summer of 2024, Vanchlor decided to exit the rail business, opting to ship their chemical over from Germany which somehow some way is saving them on costs. Perhaps in the modern tariff state of the U.S. that might not be the case anymore, but they haven't expressed any interest in returning to rail otherwise. What I never realized was that it was Vanchlor carrying the bulk of the switching here rather than Van De Mark itself. As a result, the once a week/every other at its lowest I was used to was now dropping to once or twice a month. At times during the summer of 2025, it was indeed once a month this year. Standard procedure for the crew when they have cars to deliver is to tie the inbounds down at PORT, always on the rear of the train as hazardous cars, go drop their interchange train for the Falls Raod Railroad, then either bring their outbound train back to the PORT switch to have it in place already, or leave the yard light power and return back to the inbounds for Van De Mark after locking up the PORT switch. If they came back light power, any pulls from Van De Mark would be shoved back from Mill St to the Lockport Branch main before pulling back onto the Falls Road. If they brought their outbound train up to the PORT switch already, thelat either meant no pulls at Van De Mark, or the highly sought after but almost always after dark gravity drop move, which would make a for a more desirable westbound shot on the Gulf Bridge into the evening light. Any gravity drop move I witnessed always resulted in light running out before they could get back on the move towards PORT. Alternatively and lesser, the crew could drop their whole train at PORT and head up to Mill St light power in the case of pull only, which has now become the norm two out of three times the have work there. I even had a heads up or two over the radio that they were headed straight there back in 2021. Granted they were dealing with plenty more cars at that time. Now it's two at the most. Whereas before Vanchlor left the probability of playing and pulling cars, now it's only one or the other and not both. On the bright side, a day where they have a pull or are performing an interplant, they go up to Mill St first thing upon arriving in Lockport. This is great for lighting purposes, but one out of three moves are now guaranteed to be light power both directions on the Somerset, which isn't nearly as cool as having a car with them. Placing a car is now the worst thing to shoot since they do it after dropping in the Falls Road yard, usually a half hour to 45 minute move depending on how big the inbound train is. During peak summer daylight, that's fine, but once the sunset gets too short, the light power trip up is the best case scenario.
Van De Mark locally sources their cars out of the Olin Chlor-alkali Corp in Niagara Falls, so the only heads up for days they're going to be switched is listening to the EC-1 issued to the crew when they call to depart, since the Lockport Branch and Somerset are both dark territory. The switch or switches they wish to operate must be listed on the form, making things easy so long as you're able to hear their conversation and live within 40 minutes of Lockport since that's the exact travel time from CP 25 to PORT for L035. I shot as many of these moves as I could this summer, as the idea of Van De Mark leaving CSX, or CSX abandoning them rather, is not too far fetched. Having to maintain the Gulf Bridge especially for a once a month customer is not likely in CSX's long term plan financially, which is the only reason the little stub of the Somerset Railroad still exists. If Van De Mark quits, it's game over for this trackage. Not the fate I or anyone around here wants to see, but current trends suggest it may be their fate somewhere down the road. If the day when the final pull should arrive, you can count on me to be on scene day or night.
this thing has been the plague of my life since I bought it ... I never knew where to put it - but I think it's found its home!
A lifetime of friendship
Once lovers
Both travelling the road to freedom
For truth – two kindred spirits
Knowing, without question – this connection
There was a thirst for knowledge
We became the teacher and the student to one another
Driven by the desires of sexual pleasure
A strong magnetic pull
Aware of his thought forms in all its intoxications – no matter how far he was from me
Addicted to his presence
Destruction, dismantling of the ego
We held the mirror to one another
We each had valuable lessons to learn from one another
This was only possible once we reached the point of no return
Karma was a bitch at times – that was not my intention
Many years separated us by choice
Only to rekindle our lives together this past 15 years
This time on solid ground
With a higher understanding
Validation and forgiveness
Opening of hearts
Without the need for one another
Acceptance of what is
Great beauty emerged from this
Two hearts that felt deeply
Without the need for physical expression
Just to be cradled in each other’s arms was enough
A higher love so few experience in a lifetime
Rising above the desires of the physical bodies
To higher states of being
Being in each other’s presence
It was enough
How far we had come as individuals
Two minds, two hearts connected once more
On higher realms than before
What magic unfolded in this realization
We were meant to be free
No longer tied to by the physical pull of our desires
What emerged was a greater respect
A greater love
To love and let each other go
For we both knew the road required a solo ride
We had different paths to follow
The gift to emerge was our friendship and love strengthened
But without the need or desire for anything at all
Accept to love and be free to pursue the souls journey
Many miles had separated us in the past 5 years
With plans to reconnect when borders open
God had other plans for you
I sobbed with tears of joy and elation – you had finally found GOD
You gave your soul to God that fine day through the ritual of baptism
Two days before your sudden death
No greater blessing for me than to know this was the end for you
God always works in mysterious ways
I had always loved you from the moment we met
A journey that was fraught with adventure for our soul’s journey
You have ridden the biggest wave of all in the ocean of life
Thank you for the journey of a lifetime
A journey so filled with blessings
I will miss our long and lofty conversations into the wee hours of the morning
They say your life partner should be someone you can talk to about anything
Best friends who never shy away from speaking their truth
Sharing the most intimate of dreams, desires, experiences
I found this in you my friend
I was looking forward to once more being cradled in your arms
Talking about life and all that is good and bad in this world
Catching up on all the adventures in between our last phone call
Sharing space with you if only for a moment in time once more
Eating ice cream with you once more
Solving the problems of the world and praying for a peaceful world
I really thought I would see you this year
Visions of adventures when you came to stay
Those long lofty conversations
Until it was time for you for your next destination
I never expected your next destination was heaven
Your journey was not always easy
But the journey of a true warrior is never easy
We knew this truth
Until we meet again
I will cry a little more and my heart will feel heavy
But I know at the higher level
You are in a better place
I pray there are wild surfs for you to ride those waves
I hope you get to meet my beloved in heaven
I pray he was there to meet you
He would want to thank you for loving me
Until we meet again
What a glorious reunion it will be on high
Rest in Peace my beautiful friend in Gods Eternal Peace
There is something so innately pleasing about standing in forest sharing space with wild animals like her.
