Sweet evening light shines on CN freight train M385 as it rolls under the searchlight signal bridge at Paris, Ontario on the CN Dundas Sub.
a man paused mid-step, caught between sand and signal. headphones wrapped him in silence, the screen offered a world quieter than the sea behind him. the promenade kept moving. he didn’t.
A leaf which has seen Better Days, on a walkway in Hermann Park, The shadow is a selfie, which normally I would avoid, but I really needed to catch this in a few seconds, on the run at the end of a beautiful day. In fact on one of my Better Days!
Yet another instance of a Barnett Newman Zip coupled with botanical jetsam &/or a topological equivalent of a disc—probably not the first reading that popped into your mind.
For #BetterDays #FlickrFriday and also “Signs of the Season” for the Flickr Lounge. Unaccountably refused to upload—even after export to jpg—so I’m posting a screen dump instead with time and location corrected to the original. The geotag shifted by a few meters in the process.
Happy Flickr Friday!
Williton railway station in Somerset was opened by the West Somerset Railway in 1862 and closed by British Rail in 1971. It was reopened in 1976 as a heritage line. The signal box, which dates from 1875, is the only Bristol and Exeter Railway one still in use. It still operates the signals and overlooks the level crossing at the south end of the station.
The alien always wondered is there any life among the distant stars. She knew the spot on the great plain where a rare signal could be detected. For a few years she tried to send signals back, and once even got some kind of a reply, though it was impossible to decipher. But now there are no signal, no matter how hard she tried...
This is an idea I wanted to do for a while, and I was hoping to take it on Friday, and post on Saturday, so I would be able to create and post the final picture for 2024 on December 30th/31th, which would mean that I would finally overcome my two weeks lag and would have a picture for every week of 2024, as always, and as if I never broke my streak (which I never did since spring 2019 until this December).
But on Friday I was too exhausted after watching a new episode of Doctor Who, and on Saturday I suddenly felt very, very unwell. The most (and worst) symptoms stopped the next day, but I'm still not feeling well, so it was quite a challenge to build a scene while feeling so (yeah, I'm stubborn). Hopefully I will feel better the next day, but a part of the plan for New Year's Eve is ruined anyway. :(
I'm going to reply to all your comments, notifications (after the last two weeks there are already a lot of them, oh my!) and will check your recent pictures, but obviously not today. :) If the odds would be in my favor tomorrow, I hopefully will post my usual end of the year picture, as planned.
P.S. The background: NASA (JSC)
P.P.S. The legs are sand blue! I didn't realize it will look as light bluish gray in that light. Don't worry, of course, she wears warm pants, it's too cold on the plain at night. :)
P.P.P.S. The scene was partly inspired by Doctor Who soundtrack:

Several Canadian National guards man the east side of Durand, Michigan if you approach. This was once the Grand Truck main line between Detroit and Chicago. New "Safe-T" signals provide the Christmas y feel.

I might not have time to do a full "year in review" this year, but -- then again -- I'm not sure I took enough photos throughout the year to do one!
That said, certainly the highlight of my photography year was a three-day trip to Virginia with Brian Plant. In 2017, I had a very brief introduction to NS's H-Line north of Roanoke while on my way home from a work conference in Tennessee. I always wanted to go back, but -- with a wife and son at home -- finding the time always made that difficult. When NS started replacing the steam-era CPL signals on the line, however, I knew that time was of the essence. This year, Brian Plant offered to do the driving if I met him partway down, so -- with my wife's blessing -- we were off!
I figured Sunday, April 14th would just be a travel day, so I was very pleasantly surprised when Brian and I were able to catch up to southbound Train 13Z and the weather cooperated! Here, the train knocks down the CPL signal at Arcadia -- my favorite location on the line.
Recently, NS replaced the CPL signals here, so this shot was just in time for sure!

While clouds flare overhead, a large fragment of cap-rock rests alongside the trail and looks conspicuously out of place amongst the deeper red of the mudstones, Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, Colorado.
Visiting this Monument was a prime objective of our recent Thanksgiving road-trip to the Southwestern part of the State. Abandoned cliff-dwellings and watchtowers blend in remarkably well with the landscape, being built from the native materials at hand, and my wife and boys and I were thoroughly engrossed while searching for them and imagining their creators out-loud, along with the way of life that existed here. Say what you will about America these days (and whatever it is, it would probably be accurate), but the fact that public land like this exists and anyone can go explore is largely due to Teddy Roosevelt's leadership. A vision like that, gifted to future generations as it was, still makes me proud to be an American today.
The Signal Tower in Arbroath is located next to the picturesque and historic harbour, within the original shore station for the Bell Rock Lighthouse, The Signal Tower Museum tells the story of the lighthouse itself and of the local fishing and maritime industries.
Truro signal box is supposed to be closing before the end of the year. So here is a record shot of box, the semaphore signalling before 57602 leaves Truro with the 1A50 2145 Penzance - London Paddington 'Night Riviera sleeper train' 19/4/23.
Happy Monochrome Monday!
The Signal gasoline station, now Signal Pizza in St. John's neighborhood of Portland, was built and opened in 1939 as a gas station for the Signal Oil Company. It was in operation as a gas station until 1984, but changed brand from Signal Gas to Hellman's Golden Eagle Gas Station in 1954 and, in turn, became a Chevron station in 1965.
