How many people can remember that red plastic container of bubble solution with the stick inside that you can blow through to make bubbles? This is thought I had when I rested my tripod on Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast.
The weight of the sky and all of its fabulous sunset glory was a perfect way to cap off an incredible day in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.
Na de foto met gele fronten werd er uiteraard ook nog een foto gemaakt langs de andere kant met de rode fronten.

Messier 8 (M8), also known as the Lagoon Nebula, is a large, bright emission nebula located in the constellation Sagittarius. The star-forming nebula has an apparent magnitude of 6.0 and lies at a distance of 4,100 light years from Earth. It has the designation NGC 6523 in the New General Catalogue.
The Lagoon Nebula is currently undergoing a period of active star formation and has already formed a sizable cluster of stars. NGC 6530, the extremely young open cluster formed from the material of M8, has a visual magnitude of 4.6 and covers an area of 14 arc minutes in the sky. It is centred in the eastern part of the nebula.

CP empty grain train no.331 is on the pull out of Toronto after making a two car setoff as well as fuelling up the engines and swapping crews. Apparently the leader here had multiple defects reported, one of which being a broken bell button which was being held together by a band-aid. Paraphrasing, but the conversation on the scanner went something along the lines of this:
Crew: "so you want us to just go ahead when there's literally a band-aid holding this button in place? It's kind of disgusting"
West Tower: "That is correct, I'm sure the band-aid is there specifically to hold that button in place, not like it came off someone, the planner said to just go ahead and leave because he's unable to fix it here on the spot".
Never a dull moment around these parts.
Not the solution to a problem, but one of the many causes.
Union Pacific's new Roseville, California to Los Angeles, California (Fourth Street) manifest blasts through the west switch at Thornton, with clear rails as it heads for the Fresno Subdivision at El Pinal as it's journey for the LA Basin continues after meeting the Interstate 5 Z-train at Phillips.
Big changes are on the horizon as, these trains are meant to act as a replacement for the LA Basin Hauler; as Union Pacific's efforts to transform the Hump Yard at West Colton into a Intermodal Ramp pick up the pace (should become a West Coast version of the Global 2/Proviso arrangement in Illinois). Once the train gets down to the Los Angeles area it will set-out it's Chino, Mira Loma and Kaiser area traffic at Montclair which is being heavily retrofitted as well before arriving at Fourth Street. Only time will tell if this is a good move in the long run, as Roseville which hasn't really had any modernization projects since the Southern Pacific days is hard pressed to get these trains; out let alone process and block out the new influx of loose car traffic from the far corners of the system.
At least the searchlights are here still, then again their time is also fast approaching..

Normally I chase this ginger Tom away but as he is doing a fine job of keeping the birds off my cherry tree, I will give him a free pass until August 🤔😉
Stay safe

Amicia and Hugo:
"Hugo! Where are you?"
"I'm here. I'm close."
"I can't see you! I'll do whatever it takes! I want... to see you."
"Are you sure?"
"You just keep on fighting! We tried that way, and it was a lie. It's not the right way; you know that."
"I don't know, Hugo!"
"It brought death, Amicia. And I brought death too! It's the mistake I made... and what I've become."
"I've seen you fight so many times. You still won't back down, will you, Amicia?"
"It's us or them! I have no choice!"
"You have a choice... but it scares you."
"We need to fix this Amicia!"
"We'll find a solution! I promise, Hugo!"
"You keep saying that. But there's only one solution now."
"You’re the only one who can stop me... from becoming a monster," Hugo said.
"You’re not a monster!"
"I will be…" replied the boy, "if I kill all I love."
Amicia learns what it is to sacrifice all she loves... and she kills her little brother who she loved so much, when he asks her to, because it was the only way to stop the Plague, or the Macula in the boy's blood would never cease killing... killing other people! And what was the life of one boy, to the lives of hundreds? What does the life of one child mean? And what does love mean? Did Amicia ever answer these questions?
And so Amicia slings the stone.
This is a collaboration between Joe (jnj_bricks) and I, built for the Labour of Love category of Brickscalibur. I haven't slept in a while so I should go to sleep now, but later you can see more of the terrain, more of the Rats' Nest, and maybe some behind the scenes. I'm really excited for this build! It looks awfully small, but I had to carry it down the stairs... and I know it weighed a lot! It's huge.
I have to mention that I was very inspired by Josh DeMoss's piece of music from the Symphony of Construction, I listened to it while I was building and it gave me the chills. And of course the music from A Plague Tale: Requiem. It was so beautiful, and touching, and deadly...
I have no words to describe A Plague Tale.
To God Be The Glory, and may you seek Him when you find yourself sad and troubled, like Amicia and Hugo, instead of getting lost...
I hope you like it!
Last photo from my short visit to Albyberg. Cars and trucks were leaving as I took this photo. One car stopped, a woman walked out and told me that they were doing some rock blasting in a few minutes time, so I better turn around and walk back to wherever I had come from (snuck in between two fences), so that's what I did. I was on the bike when I saw (and felt), the big explosion.
The Landsborough (right) and Clarke (far left) rivers, part of the Landsborough Wilderness Area, are separated by the Solution Range, at centre.
The view looking down… this arm looks thin but it’s capable!!! :)
La scène vue d'en haut... ce bras n'est pas épais mais il est costaud !
It was probably the most impressive experience I’ve ever had but it was not easy. I will never forget the robotic arm ride while holding equipment that is three times my weight. The slightest movement increased its inertia (thankfully Megan is the world champion robotic arm operator). Visually it was a bit like holding a fridge upside down, while holding on with my feet over a 300 km cliff face #humblebrag. Quite a few things didn’t go according to plan but I am immensely proud of the team that fought to find solutions. #dreamteam. Shane exudes professionalism at all times, the ground teams and control centre were on point, and then there were our incredible colleagues driving the robotic arm and getting us into the suits (and out again). I might still be on an adrenaline high, but I don’t think you can find a better team. We are going to try to get some rest and consider the follow-up operations.
C’était à la fois une expérience magique et un vrai combat ; je ne suis pas prêt d’oublier ce petit tour au bout du bras robotique en tenant un équipement qui fait 3 fois mon poids, le moindre mouvement lui faisant prendre de l’inertie. Heureusement que Megan est championne du monde de conduite de bras robotique ! Visuellement c’était un peu comme tenir un frigo, accroché par les pieds, la tête à l’envers sur une paroi abrupte de quelques kilomètres #humblebrag. Pas mal de choses ne se sont pas passées comme prévu mais je suis super fier de l’équipe qui s’est battue pour trouver des solutions #dreamteam. Shane 👨🚀 égal à lui-même de flegme et de professionnalisme, l’équipe 💻 au centre de contrôle au top, les collègues au bras robotique ou qui nous ont mis dans les scaphandres (et nous en ont sortis)... Je suis peut-être encore sous le coup de l’adrénaline, mais je pense qu’on ne peut pas trouver mieux (ou alors il va falloir me le prouver 😁). On va essayer de prendre un peu de repos en attendant la suite des opérations 😴

Please see the previous photo of a Bucket full of Beetles.
They can produce 60 eggs at a time,
I will post a link bellow how to treat before they emerge,
www.farmandfleet.com/projects/how-and-when-to-treat-japan...
My Wisteria was infested with Japanese beetles,
I found great solution, bucket of water with soap,
They will never get out alive, just make sure the bucket is wide enough, I just hold the bucked under the branch and just tap it once amazingly enough they all fall in!
Please check out both before and after photos.
