This small castle is located not far from my home.
Here the fog had already started to roll in from the Left and after just a few minutes, the small castle has completely disappeared.
What you dont see is that this was a good 15 to 20 meters from the ground working underneath an overpass.

As the Regent Explorer eased its way to the dock at Nevis Street Pier, St. John's, Antigua, its bow thruster was roiling up the shallow water sediment.

One thing I did not have a chance to do in 2020 was to see any steam locomotives in action, which I love to see, hear, and photograph when I get the chance. In 2019 I had just an amazing three days at the Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, Nevada, as they held the second of their “Winter Steam Spectacular” events. Here locomotive #40 charges forth from the tunnel on a very crisp afternoon as more snow falls. We just had tremendous luck with fantastic winter conditions such as this. The venerable 120 year old time machine really put on a show for us. I hope in 2021 to return to seeing some live steam. These spectacular old machines always fill me with wonder about the time when they were designed and built well over half a century before anyone would use a computer to design anything.
several times a year, overheight trucks get stuck under this old railroad bridge along highway 70. oops!

funny, the guy who saw me snapping this shot tried to photograph the same thing but another security guard yelled at him and told him to move along.
I'm still baffled how he managed to accomplished this. Must be clenching his glutes.
Two generations stand side by side, united by an unspoken promise — to watch, to protect, to guard.
With eyes turned toward the endless horizon, their silent embrace speaks of trust, strength, and care.
The sea, vast and wild, is both their challenge and their home, where experience meets youthful courage.
In this quiet moment, the older hand rests gently on the younger shoulder, a timeless bond woven in the language of the tides.
I was driving along on a very narrow road looking for a place to stop and shoot the sunrise when it came up without me being able to safely stop. So I picked up my camera and shot out the window at about 30 miles per hour (as you can see from the foreground blur). But I kind of like this.
Back on the IATR, 54 brings a cut of hoppers east over the line. They are crossing Cheslea Creek on a wooden bridge. Descending into the dip made by this drainage, motor 50 can be seen following not far behind. I've been known the utter the phrase "running like streetcars" when an outing provides a fortuitous amount of trains. This photo is the closest I've come to taking a literal running like streetcars photo. Just another day on the Iowa Traction.
The signal next to 54 is the approach signal for the diamond crossing with Union Pacific.October 16, 2023.
Nevada Northern #93 is first out of the gate of the Engine House on a freezing single digit winter morning in East Ely, Nevada. #40 is just inches behind, as both of their steam exhausts chart new unencumbered paths into the high desert sky free of the ceiling that restrained them. The superheated steam condenses in the single digit air into wonderful white clouds swirling around each engine as they push forward with their pure mechanical means. Freight locomotive #93 on the left is nearly twice as powerful as passenger locomotive #40, but they compliment each other perfectly in this exquisitely preserved historic railroad.
I took this Photograph just before we were ready to leave Alamo, Georgia on our Journey East towards Mount Vernon, Georgia. This Photograph shows the NARCOA Speeders Parked at the back end of our Group.
On April 22, 2006, I rode a Speeder from Pitts to Mt. Vernon, Georgia on a trip sponsored by NARCOA (aka North American Rail Car Owners Association). Since I don't own a Motor Car (aka a Speeder) , I rode with my friend Bill, who owns two Motor Cars. These are some photos of Water Towers that I saw during my trip on the Heart of Georgia Railroad. We started our trip from Pitts and traveled East, passing through the towns of Glenwood, Alamo, Helena, Milan, Rhine,
