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:

Instow railway station was a railway station in the village of Instow, North Devon, England, on the Bideford Extension of the North Devon Railway. Opened in November 1855, the station closed to passengers in 1965, but the line remained open for freight until 1982. The signal box has been preserved as a working attraction. The Atlantic Coast Express used to go through the station on its way to Torrington, but it did not call at Instow.
The former site of the railway tracks is now part of the Tarka Trail.

Night view of Caprotti valve gear fitted British Railways Standard Class 5MT 73129 on the approach to Swanwick Junction station, Midland Railway Centre. Those of you that know the location may notice that I've done some repairs to the signals on the left... Seen during a 30742 Charters event.
Sam pointed out this neat dwarf signal at the diamond, and since the RoadRailer had yet to gain speed, I ran across with the fisheye to get a shot. One of my favorites from the weekend.
A position light dwarf signal protects the diamond as the NS 255 RoadRailer passes westbound on the NS Springfield District past the former Chicago & Illinois Midland tower in Springfield, Illinois, April 7, 2024.
Eleva sus esqueléticos brazos al cielo pidiendo clemencia. Ya su cuerpo medio carbonizado ruega para que le envÃen agua fresca…Parece que allà arriba están demasiado ocupados o señal fuera de cobertura …F.O.G.
He raises his skeletal arms to the sky begging for mercy. Already his half-charred body begs for fresh water to be sent… Looks like they're too busy up there or signal out of cover… F.O.G.

What do you think about this photo? If you want, please, leave a comment :) Ciao e buona luce!!!
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.
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!

Heckington signal box in Lincolnshire was opened in 1876 and features a 1925 Saxby & Farmer lever frame.
The station was opened by the Boston, Sleaford and Midland Counties Railway on 13 April 1859. It is now owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway who provide all rail services.
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.
The signal station is on Whatipu Island and can be accessed at low water.
It is a remote area at the North Headland of Manukau entrance. The entrance to Manukau Harbour on the south side of , Auckland.
The LSRC business train/passenger train/something train rolls south at every bit of track speed enroute to Wixom yard. When the CSX removed the double track section from Robert T Longway blvd to Bristol road they left all the signals as is and they are still like that today as evident by this photo. This signal bridge, the only birdge at that, at Atherton still has all the heads on it but only the the remaining track will show a signal. The signals at Bristol road, Atherton as seen, Kearsley diamond, and Robert T all are set up like this.
Chitahanto, Aichi, Japan, 2017
This was made during a recently completed photography tour of Japan that I hosted with Rohan Reilly.
As I don't often get an opportunity to speak to other photographers, I feel fortunate to have hosted such an accomplished group of photographers and, more than that, just a fine and funny group of people.

Unidentified Radio Signal
Interplanetary Travel
Hello everyone from deep space. In the dark vacuum of space, I take a short break from my mind's visit to my past for a while as I drive my spacecraft to the planet I first visited. I would love to be able to describe to you the feeling that surrounds my body and soul with the radio signals I received years after I discovered and made my first planetary visit while searching for a planet suitable for life in my deep space journey. Although I thought for a long time, unfortunately I could not find the word suitable for this mood. I am very hopeful about this situation. There is a possibility that I may encounter a civilization after a long time. Moreover, I would live on the planet I had discovered and made my first visit. At least that's what I was hoping for. I had unique experiences during my time on that planet. That planet has been my new home for a long time, accompanied by unique space landscapes. However, despite my long time on the planet and my scientific research, I have not found any traces of life. It was a very unusual situation for that planet, which was quite suitable for life. Since it is the first planet I have visited yet, I did not feel negative about this situation. Having made the discovery of a planet suitable for life had increased my hope that I would find a planet with living things and even civilizations on it in the future. However, it did not. I have always encountered the same landscape in my planetary explorations suitable for new life that I have made over the course of time. Silence and nothingness. However, I was starting to come across many traces of past life on the planets I visited. Some habitats left over from civilizations that have left their home planets over time. As much as this excited me, it also caused a lot of questions in my mind. Why did these civilizations leave their planets? I was very curious about the answer to this question. When I was preparing a new route for myself after a long time in space, there was an unexpected development. I had picked up a radio signal from outer space. And this radio signal was coming from the planet I first visited years ago. This had taken me by surprise. As a result of the research, discovery and scientific analyzes I have done during my time on the planet, I have not come across any trace of life. There must be something I overlooked. Or this radio signal was a non-artificial one. Still, I didn't want to miss this opportunity. And I started this long journey by getting on my spacecraft. I was going back to my first planetary exploration. And there was still a long space of space ahead of me.

Splitting some of the last remaining CNW signals left in Wisconsin, UP LBU51 brings traffic from the Wizzor interchange at Granville back to Butler. In all my attempts to shoot these signals, none have never panned out, either lite power, lhf, or the famous Fonda hold for hours. Finally it all came together, with a four pack of standard cabs as the cherry on top
