Just an update on my recovery. X-rays during last week show that the pins have been successful in the "ball" of my shoulder and the stress fractures in the clavicle are healing. I have to keep the arm in the sling until the middle of September.
I will try to post occasionally and will endeavour to comment on some of your images, it is not easy and takes ages while I can only use my left hand.
she smothers me unlike a gentle fog that floats above it all
intent to snuff me out but slowly, ever so slowly, she lacks the empathy required to do the job quickly
drowning me one little drop at a time, replacing my life giving air with her bitter death
killing me slowly, ever so slowly.
Some of the Bristlecone Pine trees in this grove are over 3000 years old. Very slow dancing indeed! Near Wheeler Peak in the Snake Range at 10,000'. Great Basin National Park, NV
Trwyn Du Lighthouse at Penmon point was built by Trinity House in 1838 to mark the north entrance to the Menai Strait. After the severe loss of life when the paddle steamer the Rothesay Castle sank near Puffin Island in 1831, not only was there a need for a life saving association, but also a need to mark the rocks at the northern entrance to the Menai Strait.
The master Pilots from Liverpool had been consulted about the need for a light on the shores at Black Point (Trwyn Du) unfortunately nothing happened until 1838 when the current lighthouse was built.
The Lighthouse at Trwyn Du marks the passage between Black Point and Puffin Island (Ynys Seriol) and the Lighthouse bears the inscription NO PASSAGE LANDWARD.
When the tide is high, the rocks are hidden and visiting maritime traffic might just think that they can pass through on the landward side.
Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled—
to cast aside the weight of facts
and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking
into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing—
that the light is everything—that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and falling.
And I do.

I sometimes don't really look around when we are heading back down the road. But this was a nice ridge.
Paducah & Louisville LG1 crawls through Millwood right before sunset. They are in the middle of an almost-constant 10mph slow order from Leitchfield.

A Columbia Walla Walla winds down the 1 percent grade and around the horseshoe into Valley Grove (in the distance) on the former Union Pacific branch from Walla Walla to Dayton, Washington.
The locomotives on the train are as rare as the train itself. The pair of GP49s are two of nine ever built, all for Alaska Railroad in the early 1980s, while the last time CWW operated a train to Dayton was way back in May of this year.
It was a painfully slow chase, with track speed down to 5mph, making the trip approximately five hours from Walla Walla to Dayton.
At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear. It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us. You can love completely without complete understanding.

The Jungfrau railway
(German: Jungfraubahn)
which runs 9 kilometres from Kleine Scheidegg and from there to the highest railway station in Europe at Jungfraujoch (3,454 m),
between the Bernese Oberland and Valais.
The railway runs almost entirely within a tunnel built into the Eiger and Mönch mountains and contains two stations in the middle of the tunnel, where passengers can disembark to observe the neighbouring mountains through windows built into the mountainside.
The open-air section culminates at Eigergletscher (2,320 m), which makes it the second highest open-air railway in Switzerland

I took this shot at Tiffany Creek a couple of days ago. I liked the way that, even though the photograph was a long exposure, the water pattern still caught the speed of the creek's flow which was quite considerable given the recent weather.
Slowing while awaiting permission to enter work limits at Belton, a westbound grain train rounds a curve near West Glacier, MT on the mostly sunny afternoon of Thursday, October 8, 2026.
Part of Tywyns one way system. Testing out an old Canon Sureshot Ace point and shoot camera. It has a small waist level viewfinder which is pretty cool. It's plastic ,also very loud and clunky but the lens is pretty decent. A great point and shoot if you don't mind the fact it's plastic and loud.
