Since I am unable to get out shooting due to snow and ice here are some images from a couple years ago.
If you like my work and wanna show it by inviting me to one of your groups, you are very welcome to do that, but please do not leave any graphic logos! I'll delete them.
Since two weeks I have no internet at home. My provider said that the cable in the street is the reason and it will take quite a while to fix it... :(
So for now I just have my limited phone connection to check mails and other news. Can you remember your life before internet became a normal thing?
Anyway, I'm at my parents place now for Easter holidays. So I have the chance for this upload. I hope everyone is fine. I hope to be back on Flickr as soon as possible.

Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
Since I cannot travel this year, I'm looking back to a National Park road trip in May 2019. Day Five, Photo Two for Polaroid Week. Polaroid Originals Color SX-70 film, Polaroid SX-70 Alpha-1 Camera.
Since it's my one year Flickr Birthday I decided to upload two shots! :)
I've been away for so long but now I'm back... At least for a few days! :)
It's passed midnight and I just had to celebrate my Flickr birthday with you guys! :)
I hope you are having a wonderful Summer my dear Flickr Friends! :)
Toddington railway station serves the village of Toddington in Gloucestershire, England. Since 1984 it has been the main base of operations for the heritage Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway.
January has been a very busy month for me, and surprisingly I almost made it through the entire month without shooting a moving train! Of course, it doesn't help that Pan Am Southern's Freight Main--which I currently live only five minutes from--is mostly nocturnal, and even if it wasn't the choice is usually a parade of NS widecabs or patched ex-CSX C40-8s. However, when a friend of mine alerted me to the fact that rebuilt CP SD70ACU #7012 in CP heritage paint was leading today's CP 252 down the CP D&H, a quick check of Google Maps reminded me that I'm just a little over 30 minutes from Fort Edward. Having a well-timed prep-from-home day for work, I figured I could take a little time off and do a "one and done." I arrived at Fort Edward station to see nothing around, and just as I finished checking to see that Amtrak 69, "The Adirondack," would be arriving from the south in 15 minutes, I heard an EOT chirp. A quick check of the tracks and there was 252 in the hole! I quickly relocated to Rogers Island since the light was still good for the bridge over the Hudson River. Amtrak passed northbound, and shortly after 252 could be heard throttling up and then blowing for the crossing. One last quick check of my settings and framing, and 252 quickly entered into view. Not bad for my first moving train this month!
It has been several years since I took care of Western Bluebird nest boxes on Mt. Diablo. When I spotted this one last week, I had forgotten how beautiful they could be as early as the winter months. Mating and nesting here usually doesn't take place until April-June. Perhaps there are so many that the males have toi view for mates early in the year.
Two weeks agao, I saw my first of the year, just outside my back gate. And I knew I had to take my one oppoortunity (on a rare clear day this year) to see what I could find on the foothills.
The western bluebird can be readily distinguished from the two other species in the bluebird genus. The western bluebird has a blue (male) or gray (female) throat, the eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis) has an orange throat, and the mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides) lacks orange color anywhere on its body.
The western bluebird nests in cavities or in nest boxes, competing with tree swallows, house sparrows, and European starlings for natural nesting locations. Because of the high level of competition, house sparrows often attack western bluebirds for their nests. One of the things we (the Western Bluebird Restoration Group) did and does is to keep the nest boxes clear with their biggest competitors on the mountain, Oak Titmice and House Wrens. We don't have the House Sparrow or starling problem, and the Tree Swallows have a symbiotic relationship by feeding Bluebird chicks, sometimes helping with nest building, and always monitoring the boxes because they will be the next residents. I've seen Tree Swallows sitting on bluebird eggs! The breeding season on the mountain for each species is only a week to ten days apart: of all the birds that might compete for the boxes, the one that is always welcome is the Tree Swallow.
Note: I've told about my eight years with the Restoration Group. It was very satisfying: in the fifth year, the nunmber of bluebird chicks that made it to adulthood climbed from 63 the year before to over 300. I wish I could find my log books, but I could swear that one year, we helped "bring up" over 600 in 120 nest boxes. Western Bluebirds are known to have two, three, even four broods a year. The predators we had to watch out for most were raccoons. Starlings were too busy fighting Acorn Woodpeckers, and House Wrens (where the male will build five nests for the female to choose from) often forget where they built their last mess (well, they are: almost all initial wren nests are six to ten sticks thrown into the box and one stick looks pretty much like another.)
Since my last visit to this area the Kiamichi Railroad has become part of the Genesee & Wyoming family. We just happened to arrive trackside in time to see them switching to the west of the KCS crossing. A pair of rebuilt former Conrail SD40s were leading.
Since 1947, the neighbors in Baltimore, Maryland, have been decorating 34th Street in Hampden. The street is know as the Miracle on 34th Street and it is filled with holiday lights.

34081's first loaded test run since her 7 year overhaul, her first train in 9 years!
See www.92squadron.co.uk for more details!
Since deadpan raised some interest, I decided to post another deadpan portrait, not a self-portrait this time, mostly to document the approach and style.
Since 2002, the flag has been hung on the Wrigley Building every Fourth of July.
I came across this shot in my archive. As near as I can tell, they still do this as of last year.

Single guanaco, Torres del Pine, Chilean Patagonia. Starting a new series where animals make a foreground element to the landscape, since I suck at taking animal (and human) portraits. The new album stretches decades and continents:

Greetings from an expensive hotel near Dublin airport, my current trip concludes tomorrow.
Since last summer the two APS E483s have been rented to Trenitalia Cargo, now Mercitalia.
Here they are pulling an heavy steel train from Genoa to Novi Ligure on the old Giovi pass line near Meretta (6/9/16)
Beautiful historic house in Edgecombe county. Couldn't pass this up!

There is archaeological evidence of people residing in Henley since the second century as part of the Romano-British period.[2] The first record of Henley as a substantial settlement is from 1179, when it is recorded that King Henry II "had bought land for the making of buildings". King John granted the manor of Benson and the town and manor of Henley to Robert Harcourt in 1199.[citation needed] A church at Henley is first mentioned in 1204. In 1205 the town received a tax for street paving, and in 1234 the bridge is first mentioned. In 1278 Henley is described as a hamlet of Benson with a chapel. The street plan was probably established by the end of the 13th century. As a demesne of the crown it was granted in 1337 to John de Molyns, whose family held it for about 250 years.
