This pic is intentionally very dark.
UGH @ Monday. I was so tried this morning, not feeling work at all!
Nothing exciting happened today. I cleaned the front desk area! Cleared out so much old shit. We had a notepad from the 40th anniversary and this year is the 50th lmao. It felt good to declutter. Slowly making this desk really my own!
After work I came home and napped for like an hr then just hung around and watched Power. The final season really was a bust and tbh it kinda made me forget how good the rest of the series is!
The Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral of Santorini was rebuilt after a disastrous earthquake in 1956. It hosts nice frescoes painted by a local artist

So I'm uploading in the middle of the week rather than the end which is nice :)
This week I finally sent letters and prints to my print giveaway winners! It was really awesome writing to people who I've met/admired on flickr and let's not forget, live across the other side of the world! Uni has been keeping me busy and I'm just so ready for my break.
This week we also remembered those who tragically died in 9/11, eleven years ago. In some ways, this event influenced the concept of this week's photo. They will never be forgotten <3
So I had this new space in our family room to use while we waited for our new lounge. I had in mind what I wanted the photograph to look aesthetically but I wasn't quite sure about what I wanted to convey and to express. It turned out to be quite a sad concept with a somber mood while also encompassing ideas concerning a life once lived and nostalgia.
P.S. I did think of Sarah Ann Loreth's work while taking this.

September 30, 1993 fantrip with Illinois Railway Museum's Nebraska Zephyr trainset. This was one of several photo runbys included in the trip- Route K highway overpass near Slinger, Wisconsin.
IRM's newsletter had a story about all the Zephyr trips that year: www5.irm.org/railwire/rw153.html

One more tomorrow to complete the series.
Arachnophobes beware!!!
This Monarch feeding on our Sedum florets was the last one I saw for this year as I think they have all begun their long southward migration, leaving Wisconsin behind. I will miss seeing them and their orange and black beauty.
-- Monarch Migration: A Multi-Generational Epic --
The Monarch butterfly's incredible, annual round-trip migration takes multiple generations to complete the northward journey from central Mexico. The butterflies that emerge over the spring and summer (generations 1, 2, and 3) continue the relay, moving north across the continent to breed. The final generation of the year, often the 4th, is a "super generation" that lives up to eight months and makes the entire 3,000 mile flight south to the Mexican overwintering sites where the cycle began!

One of a family of stonechats seen in the gorse close to the masts in the masts field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve in Gloucestershire on a visit in late September. This confiding female was very oblinging and posed perfectly for the camera.
Grimy LMS 'Black 5' 4-6-0 44984 at Brackley Central station on September 3rd 1966, with the 5:15 service from Nottingham Victoria to London Marylebone - the last passenger service on the Great Central main line to London - complete with a wreath on the smokebox door. Another of the class had been cleaned up for this event, but had failed before the start of the trip, and 44984 had to be substituted.
The loco was withdrawn in November 1966, and scrapped in March 1967. No less than 18 examples have been preserved, but not all of these have been restored..
Today (2019) all traces of the platforms here have gone, and this is part of an industrial estate, but the station building (on an embankment out of sight of the camera) has survived.
Restored from an under-exposed unfocussed cyan-colour-shifted original..

September 1, 2021, at the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad found 2-8-2 No. 484 pulling the regular train from Chama to Osier, and No. 487 with a one-car special following behind it. The visiting locomotives from the Victorian Iron Horse Roundup (Eureka and Glenbrook) had been loaded on truck and had left town the previous day.
With every sun’s rising, surprise us with Your love, satisfy us with Your kindness. Then we will sing with joy and celebrate every day we are alive. Psalm 90:14
“The first flash of color always excites me as much as the first frail, courageous bloom of spring. This is, in a sense, my season--sometimes warm and, when the wind blows an alert, sometimes cold. But there is a clarity about September. On clear days, the sun seems brighter, the sky more blue, the white clouds take on marvelous shapes; the moon is a wonderful apparition, rising gold, cooling to silver; and the stars are so big. The September storms--the hurricane warnings far away, the sudden gales, the downpour of rain that we have so badly needed here for so long--are exhilarating, and there's a promise that what September starts, October will carry on, catching the torch flung into her hand.” ― Faith Baldwin, Evening Star
An embrace of September chill,
a harbinger of things to come.
A warmth within,
Thing never undone.

The Thames Barrier spans 520 metres across the River Thames near Woolwich, and it protects 125 square kilometres of central London from flooding caused by tidal surges. It has 10 steel gates that can be raised into position across the River Thames. When raised, the main gates stand as high as a 5-storey building and as wide as the opening of Tower Bridge. Each main gate weighs 3,300 tonnes.
The barrier is closed under storm surge conditions to protect London from flooding from the sea. It may also be closed during periods of high flow over Teddington Weir to reduce the risk of river flooding in some areas of west London including Richmond and Twickenham.
The Thames Barrier will then remain closed over high water until the water level downstream of the Thames Barrier has reduced to the same level as upstream. This is a managed process to provide for different circumstances, and takes about 5 hours. The Thames Barrier is then opened, allowing the water upstream to flow out to sea with the outward-bound tide.

A gorgeous September supercell roams the open plains of Southern Kansas. Managed to snag a lightning bolt in this shot while I was hand holding my camera!
Van 6 t/m 9 september ben ik samen met mijn treinenspotmaat voor vier dagen naar Tsjechië geweest. Voor deze periode werd erg fraai weer voorspeld voor een deel van Europa en daarom werden er op het laatste moment plannen gemaakt om weer wat fraais op te rollen in één van ons favoriete treinenlanden. We hadden van te voren nog de grootste moeite om onze werkagenda's leeg te vegen en oppas te vinden, maar het lukte op het laatste moment toch nog. Er werd een dag in het Elbe-dal bij Ústí nad Labem genoten van het landschap en de treinen, twee dagen in het midden van het land doorgebracht en de laatste dag werd een Bardotka-jacht gecombineerd met wederom de regio Ústí nad Labem.
Op donderdag 7 september 2023 gingen we al vroeg op pad om een poging te doen om een lokale bediening met de serie 210 te scoren in de buurt van Jindřichův Hradec. Dit was door de vele (voorspelde) bewolking tijdens de zomervakantie vanaf ons vakantieadres niet gelukt. Deze ochtend lukte het wel. Een erg goed begin van de dag! Daarna werd nog een sneltrein met een 242 in Najbrt-1,2-kleurstelling gespot bij Doňov.
Toen we de stek bij Doňov verlieten, zagen we twee uren eerder dan we hadden verwacht de gemengde goederentrein met twee Laminatka's die ons tegemoet kwam. Een kleine tegenvaller. Als deze in één keer door zou rijden naar České Budějovice, hadden we geen goede plek meer om deze fraaie trein te fotograferen. We hoopten en gokten op een lange stop in Veselí nad Lužnicí. Dat gaf ons nog wat tijd om een sneltrein met een 242 bij Velký Ratmírov te fotograferen.
In Velký Ratmírov werd de auto bij de spoorwegovergang geparkeerd en een onverhard pad richting de baanpost gevolgd. Bij de seinpost gingen we een plekje zoeken voor een foto. Al vrij snel kwam de seinwachter naar buiten en vroeg ons wat wij kwamen doen. Gelukkig sprak de vriendelijke man een aardig woordje Duits en zodoende konden we even wat uitleg geven en hem wat vragen stellen. Uiteraard wilden we graag informatie over goederentreinen op deze lijn. Hij keek even voor ons in het systeem en nodigde ons uit om met hem naar binnen te gaan. Erg leuk om het hele spoorsysteem voor je te zien met alle knopjes en lampjes. Er was echter nog geen goederentrein in aantocht.
We gingen uiteindelijk weer naar buiten om de sneltrein te scoren die werd getrokken door een 242 in de oude kleurstelling. Een leuke vangst! Net toen we onze trapjes weer inklapten en richting de auto liepen, kwam de seinwachter naar buiten en wenkte ons. Enthousiast vertelde hij ons dat binnen tien minuten een goederentrein richting Veselí nad Lužnicí zou passeren. Wij mochten vanaf het dak van zijn seinhuis een foto nemen. Daarbij konden wij een steile rechte trap naar boven nemen. Mijn spotmaat stond al op het dak, terwijl ik nog in overweging nam of ik dit "risico" zou nemen. Uiteindelijk besloot ik toch maar om met beide beentjes op het maaiveld te blijven. Er werd een stek iets verderop gezocht waar nog net mooi een goederenenlijntje naar de losweg aftakte. Ik stond gelukkig niet hinderlijk in beeld bij mijn treinenspotmaat en zodoende konden we beide naar teredenheid een foto maken. Dankzij de vriendelijke seinwachter!!
Hier zien we de Čd 242 226-9 met R 654 „Rožmberk“ Plzeň hlavní nádraží- Brno hlavní nádraží het seinhuis van Velký Ratmírov passeren op 7-9-2023. Hopelijk overleeft de serie 242 bij Čd het jaar 2023 zodat we nog wat langer kunnen genieten van deze mooie machines.
I hope your September is going well. I had hoped to return to Flickr full time by now but am still super busy with Echo. I will try to drop in and see what you all have been up to,.

De volgende ochtend besloot ik op het laatste moment om nog maar even weer bij de VSM te gaan kijken. De eerste ochtendgoederentrein was mij te vroeg op deze zondagochtend maar de rit terug naar Eerbeek werd bij vertrek uit Loenen gefotografeerd.
De VSM 44 1593 reed in de ochtend van 4 september 2022 goederentrein 761 vanuit Apeldoorn naar Eerbeek. Om eens wat anders te proberen werd het weiland opgezocht tussen de Molenallee en de Broeksweg.
Kort nadat het hoogstatief klaar stond vertrok de 44 1593 uit Loenen en kon zodoende vastgelegd worden tijdens het laatste stukje naar Eerbeek.

While other castles in Northumberland were buzzing with the many tourists' activity, Etal Castle was a quiet place where we could relax and enjoy the warmth of the late summer day.

STRATEGIC SYNCHRONICITY
FUTURA - Pioneer of the American Urban Art Movement
Comes to LA for First Ever Solo Show
When: Thursday September 18th 2008 – Sunday September 21st, 2008
Where: Phantom Galleries LA at the Pacific Electric Lofts 610 S. Main St. Downtown LA, 90014
Preview for the Downtown LA Art Walk 6-10pm September 11, 2008
DowntownArtWalk.com
KRUNK presents, Strategic Synchronicity – an incredibly rare four-day event featuring the first ever LA solo-show by the internationally acclaimed graffiti artist & true pioneer of the American Urban Art movement – Futura. This once in a lifetime event starts on Thursday September 18th and will only continue until Sunday September 21st (in a secret location in Downtown LA). Then it's gone.
This, as perhaps Futura's most anticipated body of work ever, will showcase his extraordinary talent with a range of original canvases and drawings. Fans and art collectors will have a narrow window of opportunity to purchase original Futura art, with prices starting from $1,500 and upwards. The exhibition will not only showcase his new work but will also take a genuinely evolving organic form - a work in progress. This will be a truly historic occasion for fine art and street culture in the U.S. and should not be missed.
"LA was an obvious destination for me to showcase this collection. The city has so many incredible creatives who I consider as friends and whose work I respect enormously. It's about time I hit LA particularly with this collection. Above all, I'm looking forward to having some fun presenting AND creating this new work in LA." Futura
What to expect: Futura's past experience merges with his vision of the future, combining his tendency towards meticulous precision with his trademark free-flowing spraycan techniques. His art appears effortless in its abstraction with commentary on themes such as 'space' and 'the future' and his interpretation of 'the present'. Those lucky enough to be present might spot an 'old friend' in his work (perhaps for the last time?) as well as some incredible advancements and developments of his art form:
Futura has always had a keen interest and somewhat of an obsession with the latest technologies, so expect to see canvases stretched onto aluminium (in order to prevent warping due to environmental factors), pieces complemented by specifically devised music scores and film trials and much more.
"I consider this collection my best work yet, when I started on it I could feel myself about to explode. All these years of development and it reflects my growth and evolution. I want this work considered on its merits….and in that sense, I'm going right back to the beginning." Futura

Herman Moll (1654? – September 22, 1732), was a London cartographer, engraver, and publisher.
Moll's exact place of origin is unknown, although his birth year is generally accepted to be the year 1654. He moved to England in 1678 and opened a book and map store in London. He produced maps from his studies of the work of other cartographers.[1][2]
Due to Moll's important work in Dutch cartography and the fact that he undertook a journey in his late years on behalf of the Netherlands, it is assumed he originated from Amsterdam or Rotterdam. The name, "Moll" occurred not only in the Netherlands however but also in the north German area, which may suggest a German origin. Dennis Reinhartz's biography assumed that Moll came from Bremen, and other more recent works assume Germany as well.
Work as an independent publisher[edit]
A New Map of Europe According to the Newest Observations (1721).
A new map of the whole world with the trade winds (1736).
In 1701 he published A System of Geography, the first of his own publishing. Although it contained no fundamental changes in the presentation of his previous work, it helped him to assert himself as a freelance cartographer. Over the years, the work itself as well as individual maps were of influence on other publishers, as they were frequently copied and re-issued.
In the years that followed he brought out several volumes including Fifty-six new and accurate maps of Great Britain, a book of maps of the British Isles. Then came The Compleat Geographer which was an update to A System of Geography. He issued forty-two monochrome maps designed without the usual text, as by not using his usual colors he could produce them at significantly less expense than comparable works, and went through many new editions. In 1711 he began his Atlas Geographus, which appeared in monthly deliveries from 1711 to 1717, and eventually comprised five volumes. This included a full geographical representation of the world in color maps and illustrations. Moll's subscribers. As with his earlier works, the Atlas Geographus was eagerly copied and imitated.
In 1710 he began producing artfully crafted pocket globes . These were each a pair of globes, with the larger, hinged celestial globe encircled a smaller globe. On the latter he often included the route of Dampier's circumnavigation. These globes are very rare today.[6]
In 1715 Moll issued The World Described, a collection of thirty large, double-sided maps which saw numerous editions. In these maps Moll's skill as an engraver is particularly clear. These were bound separately and then later sold in the form of atlases in a joint venture between a number of other publishers.
The series included two of the most famous Moll maps: A new and exact map of the dominions of the King of Great Britain and To The Right Honorable John Lord Sommers...This Map of North America According To Ye Newest and Most Exact Observations. These were distinctive for their elaborate cartouches and images, and are known respectively as the Beaver Map and the Codfish Map. As with much of his work, Moll used these maps to publicize and support British policy and regional claims throughout the world.[7][8]
The Codfish Map shows in its cartouches a scene from the cod fisheries off Newfoundland. Since the beginning of the 16th Century the cod fishery there was an important economic factor for the European colonial powers. At the time of issue, the battle over fishing rights was one of the central points of contention in the North American policy of France and England. With its depiction of the processing of freshly caught cod for shipment to Europe, Moll highlighted for subscribers and viewers the importance of this sector for his native England.[9]
Moll labeled the Atlantic Ocean as the "Sea of the British Empire" and stressed that the British claims to fishing rights off the coast of Newfoundland. In a West India map from the same series, he wrote in the southwestern corner of Carolina, the words "Spanish Fort Deserted" and "Good Ground". On many of its North American maps - including at the Beaver Map - he drew particular attention to major ports streets, because he knew that was a sufficient infrastructure detail, communicating that for the further expansion of English is very important.[10]
Pritchard argues that the Beaver Map was "one of the first and most important cartographic documents relating to the ongoing dispute between France and Great Britain over boundaries separating their respective American colonies ... The map was the primary exponent of the British position during the period immediately following the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713."[11]
His maps were also used by other powers to attempt support for their claims. One of Moll's maps of the Island of Newfoundland Island, published in the 1680s, showed Pointe Riche, the southern limit of the French Shore to be situated at 47°40' north latitude. In 1763 the French attempted to use this map to establish their claim to the west coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, arguing that Point Riche and Cape Ray were the same headland. Governor Hugh Palliser and Captain James Cook found evidence to refute Moll's claim and in 1764 the French accepted the placement of Pointe Riche near Port au Choix.
However, all political considerations aside, Moll's maps were in his lifetime and after very influential, and are still among the most sought after aesthetic engravings in the history of cartography.

The electricity pylon which carries either 275kV or 400kV (not sure which) connects the nearby Rayleigh Main Sub Station to Coryton and Tilbury Power Station and is part of the National Grid power transmission network.
I'd be inclined to say this line is carrying the lower voltage.
