Tuesday, 15 September 2020: our temperature at 11:00 am is 8C (windchill 6C), and it is supposed to reach 14C this afternoon. Sunrise is at 7:12 am and sunset is at 7:48 pm. Very overcast.
Poor lighting was a challenge in the forest on 21 August 2020, but, certainly for me, seeing a handsome Spruce Grouse male was the highlight of the morning. Thank you SO much, Angela, for pointing out where it had flown to, and for your kindness throughout the morning! It was so good to see you guys.
We were so lucky with the weather. It was sunny, but not as hot as it had been on many previous days. A small group of us met up for our first (socially-distanced) fungi foray of the year. Last winter was extremely cold and early summer was very wet. More recently, we had very hot, dry weather, but September is definitely feeling like fall. Unfortunately, these weather patterns seem to have resulted in very few fungi to be found, unlike last year, which was an absolutely amazing season for fungi. Last year, 2019, our first snowfall was on 28 September, so we are running out of time for any fungi to grow.
Despite the lack of fungi, there were other things to catch our attention. As well as the Spruce Grouse male, we saw Butterflies (Mourning Cloaks and an Anglewing/Comma) and Bald-faced Hornets that were feeding on the sap from the holes/sapwells created by a Sapsucker on the trunk of one of the trees.
A few of the wildflowers we came across included Hooded ladies tresses and Grass-of-Parnassus. There were lots of Asters everywhere, too.
After a most enjoyable morning with friends, I stopped at a different forested area, just to quickly check if there were any fungi. Last year, there were lots of beautiful ones (some of which I still haven't posted). However, practically nothing. other than several polypores. As I was driving into the parking lot, a female Mule Deer and her still-spotted fawn crossed the road in front of me. Always a joy to see.
Closer to home, I drove into Priddis and called in at Jane's Cafe/Water's Edge Pub to pick up a tub of their chili and a tub of mushroom soup. Both delicious.
In the gentle light of dawn, the sand reveals the footprints, still fresh and immortalized in a meditative silence. Each step, marked by the unknown past, shapes a recent story, like a fleeting memory of the night’s adventures.
The adventures of the night have ended. I thank you for walking beside me through the darkness that was, but now it's time to embrace the light."
The sand, a silent witness, says to the sea, "Good morning. Listen to the breath of these footsteps, to the stories they carry. Let them bask in the light a little longer before your waves erase them completely."
The sea, calm and wise, responds: "Good morning, dear friend. You are always here to remind me that each grain of sand is a timeless gem, as unbreakable as the dreams of strong people. You know well that my power is intertwined with that of the sun, and together we bring change, but the adventure, that journey into the unknown, remains eternal."
In this quiet conversation between the sea and the sand, between the past and the present, ancient and simple wisdom of nature is revealed: that each step, whether toward darkness or light, is part of an endless cycle of transformation. And these footprints, whether fleeting or enduring, carry not only our stories but also the eternal dialogue between who we were and who we are yet to become.

Photograph taken at 09:59am on Tuesday 10th September 2013 at an altitude of One hundred and forty six metres having clambered across the rocks to view Bracklinn Falls, just East of Callander in the Trossachs, Scotland. Flanked by the Allt a Choire Bhric, the River Keltie flows over the rocks which were formed around 410 million years ago. The falls consist of five cataracts which range from around 6ft to about 25ft.
In 2004, a steel bridge over the falls was washed away by floods. In October 2010 a new, 20-tonne wood-and-copper one, spanning 20m across a very deep gorge, was hauled into place by hand because its location made it impossible to use a crane. In July 2011 this new bridge was awarded at the International Footbridge Awards

September 25, 268/365 (2095/2192)- This morning several hundred students gathered before school for the annual "See You At The Pole" prayer and fellowship rally. Good turnout, good music, good student speakers, and great way to start the day! Students had broken into small prayer groups here to close the rally.

September 6, 2018. I caught the 6:30 train out of Ottawa this morning (which meant I left home at 5:30) to Montreal to catch an event. In the afternoon I had some time so I hit the Picasso exhibit at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. I'm uploading this on the train back this evening. Long day.
Die Köhlbrandbrücke verbindet seit dem 23. September 1974 in Hamburg die Elbinsel Wilhelmsburg mit der Bundesautobahn 7 (Anschlussstelle 30 Waltershof)sowie den westlichen und östlichen Teil des hamburger Hafens. . Das Bauwerk überspannt den 325 m breiten Köhlbrand, einen Arm der Süderelbe. Die Schrägseilbrücke wurde von dem Bauingenieur Paul Boué und dem Architekten Egon Jux entworfen.
Leider ist sie in ihre Jahre gekommen, marode und mit einer Durchfahrtshöhe von 53 m zu klein für die immer größer werdenden Schiffe. Sie wird ab 2030 durch einen Tunnel ersetzt.
Im Vordergrund die Rugenberger Schleuse, die den Waltersofer und den Rugenberger Hafen mit dem Köhlbrand verbindet.

Since September 23, 1974, the Köhlbrand Bridge has connected the Elbe island of Wilhelmsburg with the federal autobahn 7 (junction 30 Waltershof) and the western and eastern parts of the port of Hamburg. . The structure spans the 325 m wide Köhlbrand, an arm of the southern Elbe. The cable-stayed bridge was designed by civil engineer Paul Boué and architect Egon Jux.
Unfortunately, she is getting on in her years, ailing and with a clearance height of 53 m too small for the ever-growing ships. It will be replaced by a tunnel from 2030.

Located 80 miles north of Inverness the Mound station was an intermediate station on the former Highland Railway Far North line which opened in 1868.
It became a junction station in 1902 when the Dornoch Light Railway opened on 2 June 1902. This closed on 13 June 1960 when all the stations to Dornoch were also shut.
The Mound station today is a private residence. In this view the branch came in on the left and the main line north is behind the trees on the right. The wooden building behind the white vehicle on the right is clearly of railway origin.
September 1995. World Trade Centre. Rear view of demonstrator Volvo B10M MkIV "Superlong" SBS997A seen displayed at a transport exhibition (UITP?). It was not a success and no others were bought. However, it was reported to have continued in service until 2012. Note the tapered rear to compensate for the extra length on corners.

Am 9. September 2017 fanden Testfahrten auf der WLE-Strecke zwischen Münster und Sendenhorst statt. Zum Einsatz kam dabei der Vareo-LINT 622 004 aus Köln, welcher hier abfahrbereit auf Gleis 21 steht (dort fahren sonst nie Züge). Manche Gelegenheitsfahrer mussten sich erstmal dran gewöhnen, dass dort plötzlich ein Zug steht. Hintergrund ist die geplante Reaktivierung der Strecke bis Ende 2028 (der 2017 noch aktuelle, ursprüngliche Plan ging von 2025 aus).
On September 9th, 2017, there were test runs on the old WLE line between Münster and Sendenhorst with Cologne's "Vareo" LINT 622 004. It is seen here standing on track 21 in Münster Central Station, where you can see rarely any trains. The reason for this rare happening is the planned reactivation for passenger trains until 2028 (initial plans by 2017 used to expect 2025).

Our storm season is coming to an end, I wasn't about to miss out on one of Mother Natures last showing of Electrical Theater...in South Central Nebraska.
First round of storms hit about 5am. Sound asleep, my wife was shaking me, get up, get up.. I was prepared in case the storms erupted. There was so much lightning, it illuminated everything in the room. Grabbed my essential gear, headed out of the house, opened garage door and the 45mph wind gust made the rain go horizontal. Pea sized hail was ferociously coming down, I wasn't going anywhere.....
I was honestly disappointed, thinking that I had probably missed my last good opportunity for some incredible nighttime storm captures. Storms were supposed to fire in the early overnight not early morning.....
Hence living in Nebraska, patience has to be a virtue for every storm enthusiast. I went out after the first storms pushed through. I was about to capture some of my best of storm snaps of 2013. I was in luck, as strong thunderstorm redevelopment just off to the southwest....
The 2nd round of storms were producing some incredible Cloud to Cloud, and tons of Cloud to Ground Lighting. I couldn't have asked for a better photo opportunity!
I was hoping that these won't be the last shots of 2013, the were not.... Definitely worth my time catching them that early morning! Eye Candy for the Storm Chaser in Mind!

23 September 2017 - Nog even terugblikkend naar 2017, toen ik weer in Albanië was, was het hoogtepunt qua treinen toch wel de goederentrein die als wijze van proef reed en vooralsnog niet een vervolg gehad heeft.
Zoals bij de andere foto die vorig jaar al geupload werd verteld, kon ik deze trein klikken omdat ik hem op de snelweg inhaalde. Vlak voor het depot zat nog een overweg met een klein open stukje, de stadsgrens tussen Golem en Dürres.
De trein zal binnen enkele minuten zijn voorlopige bestemming depot Shkozet bereikt hebben, en dan later een deel doorgegaan zijn naar Montenegro.
MRCE 189 993 rijdt voor SBB Cargo met een intermodale trein door Bad Krozingen. Het is een van de weinige locomotieven die nog de kleuren van Dispolok van Siemens dragen; 1 september 2021.
Op 9 september reed KRE met vijf Rheingold-rijtuigen door Nederland vanwege het 15-jarig jubileum van het bedrijf. Aanvankelijk was mijn plan om deze trein twee keer te fotograferen: aan de Brabantroute en in de Waalhaven, echter leverde dit twee keer een foto van de 193 128 op (er werd kopgemaakt in Rotterdam Stadion). Aangezien ik graag ook nog een foto wilde van de andere Vectron én het vooroorlogse Paarse-rijtuig besloten we nog een derde foto te gaan maken. De zonstand bracht ons naar Meteren, een dronefoto van Floris inspireerde ons voor deze stek en een recente cabinevideo kon nogeens bevestigen dat de begroeiing niet te hoog zou zijn. Na een vlotte fietstocht en wat getouwtrek over de beste positie rijdt de unieke combinatie om 18:18 door Meteren, ter hoogte van de aansluiting met de Betuweroute. In een heerlijk avondzonnetje zijn de 193 106 en 193 128 met het paarse rijtuig uit 1928 en vier blauwe rijtuig uit de jaren 70 onderweg van Maasvlakte West naar Venlo.
Last September I took a series of pictures of a fairly new wall installation down at a local piece of beach. I originally thought it quite ugly but, upon closer inspection and as the evening sunlight hit its surface, I realized there was something much more abstract and artistic to be enjoyed in its slow transformation thanks to the natural elements of sand, sea, tide and time. I went back again today and have a completely different set of images to enjoy.

William Brodie (28 September 1741 – 1 October 1788), more commonly known by his prestigious title of Deacon Brodie, was a Scottish cabinet-maker, deacon of the trades guild and Edinburgh city councillor, who maintained a secret life as a burglar, partly for the thrill, and partly to fund his gambling.
By day, Brodie was a respectable businessman, member of the burgh council and deacon (or president) of the Incorporation of Wrights and Masons. Part of his job in building cabinets was to install and repair their locks and other security mechanisms and repair door locks. He also served on a jury. He socialised with the gentry of Edinburgh, meeting poet Robert Burns and the painter Sir Henry Raeburn. He was also a member of The Edinburgh Cape Club.
By day, Brodie was a respectable businessman, member of the burgh council and deacon (or president) of the Incorporation of Wrights and Masons. Part of his job in building cabinets was to install and repair their locks and other security mechanisms and repair door locks. He also served on a jury. He socialised with the gentry of Edinburgh, meeting poet Robert Burns and the painter Sir Henry Raeburn. He was also a member of The Edinburgh Cape Club.
At night, however, Brodie became a burglar and thief. He used his daytime job as a way to gain knowledge about the security mechanisms of his clients and to copy their keys using wax impressions. As the foremost wright of the city, Brodie was asked to work in the homes of many of the richest members of Edinburgh society. He used the illicit money to maintain his second life, including five children, two mistresses who did not know of each other, and a gambling habit. He reputedly began his criminal career around 1768 when he copied keys to a bank door and stole £800. In 1786 he recruited a gang of three thieves, Brown, Smith and Ainslie.
The case that lead to Brodie's downfall began later in 1786 when he organised an armed raid on an Excise office in Chessel's Court on the Canongate. Brodie's plan failed and Ainslie was captured. Ainslie agreed to turn King's evidence, to avoid transportation, and informed on the rest of the gang. Brodie escaped to the Netherlands intending to flee to the United States but was arrested in Amsterdam and shipped back to Edinburgh for trial.
The trial started on 27 August 1788. At first there was no hard evidence against Brodie before the tools of his criminal trade were found in his house; copied keys, a disguise and pistols. The jury found Brodie and his henchman George Smith, a grocer, guilty. Smith was an English locksmith responsible for a number of thefts, even stealing the silver mace from the University of Edinburgh.
Brodie and Smith were hanged at the Tolbooth on 1 October 1788, using a gallows Brodie had designed and funded the year before. According to one tale, Brodie wore a steel collar and silver tube to prevent the hanging from being fatal. It was said that he had bribed the hangman to ignore it and arranged for his body to be removed quickly in the hope that he could later be revived. If so, the plan failed. Brodie was buried in an unmarked grave at the Parish Church in Buccleuch. However rumours of his being seen in Paris circulated later and gave the story of his scheme to evade death further publicity.
Popular myth holds that Deacon Brodie built the first gallows in Edinburgh and was also its first victim. Of this William Roughead in Classic Crimes states that after research he was sure that although the Deacon may have had some hand in the design "...it was certainly not of his construction, nor was he the first to benefit by its ingenuity".
The dichotomy between Brodie's respectable façade, and his real nature inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson's father had furniture made by Brodie.
Deacon Brodie is commemorated by a pub of that name on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, on the corner between the Lawnmarket and Bank Street which leads down to The Mound, and a close (or alleyway) off the Royal Mile has been named after him. There is also a pub in Ward Road, Dundee named after him. A pub in New York City carrying his name sits on the south side of the famous west side 46th Street Restaurant Row between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue, closer to 9th Avenue.
In 1975 publisher Hamish Hamilton published a book by Forbes Bramble about his life: The Strange Case of Deacon Brodie.
In 1997 a TV movie of the same name was made starring Billy Connolly.
September 2008 - Volvo B12\Jonckheere SF05 XDT on break at Taunton Dene Services whilst duplicating the National Express 504 Service to London, and taking me to Heathrow Airport, so I could catch a flight to Cyprus :D
The coach was being operated at the time by Truronian, who have now been bought by First Devon and Cornwall.
Na het passeren van RFO werd een poging gedaan om RTB Cargo met de bietenpulp in te halen en nogmaals te fotograferen. Na een kort telefoontje bleek ook Vincent inmiddels klaar te zijn met het rangeren in Venlo en dus werd via station Venlo naar Breyell gereden.
Aangekomen op de stek bleek RTB Cargo al uit Venlo vertrokken te zijn en moest dus iets wat gehaast worden. De accu van de camera van Vincent bleek leeg en terwijl ik bezig was met het hoogstatief klaar te zetten kwam RTB Cargo er al aan.
Terwijl ik het hoogstatief omhoog schoof drukte Vincent af en was toch de tweede foto van de RTB Cargo 193 565 met bietenpulp binnen.
Op de foto komt trein 45799 langs Breyell onderweg vanuit Oss naar een voor mij onbekende eindbestemming.

September 2011- What a strange feeling this time at the DMZ: we had to queue to visit the DMZ, with hundreds of (cool) malaysian and chinese tourists who came thru north korean charters.
I really felt like in a Disneyland. But when you look in the binoculars, you can see that the 2 koreas are still well separated by barb wires!

In September/October 1981, Ipswich Borough Transport ran trials with this MAN articulated bus which caused a great deal of interest when it appeared on the Chantry service. Although another British built articulated bus was also tried out soon afterwards, Ipswich did not pursue the idea. At this time articulated buses were very rare in the U.K.
This vehicle was the first of five supplied to South Yorkshire, which later ended up with Midland Red North. It was later broken up to provide spares for its four sisters which were eventually exported.
Of nostalgic interest is the very smartly turned out Bus Inspector (a far cry from Blakey!) walking towards the camera. Can't remember the last time I saw an inspector in Ipswich (nor the last time I had my ticket or pass checked) but it was many, many years ago.

Melbourne September 8, 2013 Australia. We spent the day walking around the city with a friend from Flickr and it was most enjoyable. For sure we would have never seen so much except for our wonderful guild.
Melbourne is the capital and most populous city in the state of Victoria, and the second most populous city in Australia.
Melbourne is the common name for the urban agglomeration area and Census statistical division of the greater metropolis. The city developed around the large natural bay of Port Phillip with its metropolitan hub, the Melbourne City Centre, located at the northernmost point of the bay - near the estuary of the Yarra River. The metropolitan area extends south from the City Centre, along the eastern and western shorelines of Port Phillip, and expands into the hinterland. The City Centre is situated in the municipality known as the City of Melbourne, and the metropolitan area consists of a further 30 municipalities. The metropolis has a population of 4.25 million, growing the fastest in numerical terms and fifth fastest in percentage terms since the previous year. Inhabitants of Melbourne are called Melburnians.
Melbourne was founded in 1835 (47 years after the European settlement of Australia), in what was then the Colony of New South Wales, by settlers from Launceston in Van Diemen's Land. It was named by Governor of New South Wales Sir Richard Bourke in 1837, in honour of the British Prime Minister of the day, William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne. Melbourne was officially declared a city by Queen Victoria in 1847. In 1851, it became the capital city of the newly created Colony of Victoria. During the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s, it was transformed into one of the world's largest and wealthiest cities.
