Max watering the Oil Seed Rape after a wee dip to cool off this morning. Not that it was exactly hot there was still a frost.
Ria del Nervión, margen izquierda, Bilbao, Vizcaya, PaÃs Vasco, España.
La rÃa de Bilbao (también conocida como rÃa del Nervión o del Ibaizábal) es la desembocadura que forma el sistema de los rÃos Nervión e Ibaizábal, asà como sus últimos afluentes, en su llegada al mar Cantábrico, en el golfo de Vizcaya. Atraviesa Bilbao, divididiendo la ciudad en dos: a la derecha, Deusto, Uribarri, Begoña y Otxarkoaga-Txurdinaga, y a la izquierda, Basurto-Zorroza, Rekalde, Abando y Ibaiondo.
Pasando la jurisdicción de Bilbao, se prolonga 23 kilómetros hasta su desembocadura en el mar, entre los municipios de Santurce, Guecho y Ciérvana.
Antaño las márgenes izquierda y derecha del curso inferior de la rÃa, a las afueras de Bilbao, eran opuestas en cuanto a sus caracterÃsticas sociales: la derecha era residencial y la izquierda, industrial y obrera. En Bilbao, la diferencia reside en que mientras la margen derecha conserva su valor histórico, la izquierda, completamente renovada, se ha convertido en el centro económico de la ciudad, con su epicentro en la Gran VÃa de Don Diego López de Haro y la Plaza Moyúa. Ambas orillas han experimentado un desarrollo urbano impresionante, con interesantes lugares destinados al disfrute de locales y visitantes.
Margen derecha:
En el término de Bilbao se pueden observar la torre de la Catedral de Santiago y la iglesia de San Antón se erige a metros de las aguas. Más adelante se encuentra el Mercado de la Ribera, el Teatro Arriaga, el Ayuntamiento y el paseo del Campo de VolantÃn. El edificio de la Universidad de Deusto se levanta sobre la Avenida de las Universidades.
Más abajo aparecen los municipios de Erandio y Lejona, que a lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX fueron perdiendo parte de su suelo rural para alojar industrias y viviendas de obreros.
En Guecho, el barrio de Romo tuvo un similar carácter obrero, mientras que en los de Neguri y Las Arenas se pueden apreciar algunas fastuosas mansiones de la burguesÃa vasca.
Margen izquierda:
En la orilla izquierda, dentro del término de Bilbao se encuentran Abando, Indauchu y Zorroza.
La estación de Santander, los paseos de Uribitarte y Abandoibarra son recorridos por su ecológico tranvÃa eléctrico y llegan al inconfundible Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, sÃmbolo de la nueva era que atraviesa la ciudad. Más adelante, el complejo centro comercial Zubiarte ofrece compras, gastronomÃa y salas de cine. El Palacio Euskalduna después, y más tarde lujosos hoteles como el hotel Meliá de Bilbao y parques. Por último, el Itsasmuseum Bilbao ofrece exposiciones referentes al pasado ligado al mar de la villa.
Más al norte se encuentran los municipios de Baracaldo, Sestao y Portugalete y, en la desembocadura, Santurce y Ciérvana.
The Bilbao estuary (also known as the Nervión or Ibaizábal estuary) is the mouth that forms the system of the Nervión and Ibaizábal rivers, as well as their last tributaries, as they reach the Cantabrian Sea, in the Bay of Biscay. It crosses Bilbao, dividing the city in two: on the right, Deusto, Uribarri, Begoña and Otxarkoaga-Txurdinaga, and on the left, Basurto-Zorroza, Rekalde, Abando and Ibaiondo.
Passing the jurisdiction of Bilbao, it extends 23 kilometers to its mouth in the sea, between the municipalities of Santurce, Guecho and Ciérvana.
In the past, the left and right banks of the lower course of the estuary, on the outskirts of Bilbao, were opposite in terms of their social characteristics: the right was residential and the left, industrial and working class. In Bilbao, the difference is that while the right bank preserves its historical value, the left, completely renovated, has become the economic center of the city, with its epicenter in the Gran VÃa de Don Diego López de Haro and the Plaza Moyua. Both shores have experienced an impressive urban development, with interesting places for the enjoyment of locals and visitors.
Right margin:
In the municipality of Bilbao you can see the tower of the Cathedral of Santiago and the church of San Antón stands meters from the water. Further on is the Mercado de la Ribera, the Arriaga Theater, the Town Hall and the Campo de VolantÃn promenade. The University of Deusto building stands on Avenida de las Universidades.
Below are the municipalities of Erandio and Lejona, which throughout the 19th and 20th centuries lost part of their rural land to accommodate industries and workers' houses.
In Guecho, the Romo neighborhood had a similar working-class character, while in Neguri and Las Arenas you can see some lavish mansions of the Basque bourgeoisie.
Left margin:
On the left bank, within the municipality of Bilbao, are Abando, Indauchu and Zorroza.
The Santander station, the Uribitarte and Abandoibarra promenades are traveled by its ecological electric tram and arrive at the unmistakable Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, symbol of the new era that is going through the city. Further on, the complex Zubiarte shopping center offers shopping, gastronomy and movie theaters. The Euskalduna Palace later, and later luxurious hotels such as the Meliá hotel in Bilbao and parks. Finally, the Itsasmuseum Bilbao offers exhibitions referring to the past linked to the sea in the town.
Further north are the municipalities of Baracaldo, Sestao and Portugalete and, at the mouth, Santurce and Ciérvana.

30 s SER files were taken with a ZWO ASI120MM camera through Optolong CCD RGB filters on a Celestron Edge HD 925 telescope using FireCapture. The top 80% of frames went into 6 stacks of each color filter. These stacks were made in AutoStakkert, then sharpened in PixInsight. Stacks were combined and derotated in WinJUPOS, and the resulting R, G, and B images were combined in WinJUPOS to make a de-rotated single color image.

An eruption in the KrýsuvÃk volcanic system on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland - about 30 km southwest of Reykjavik - began on 19 March 2021 on the southern slope of the Fagradalsfjall mountain massif. There had not been a volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula for almost 800 years before; the last eruption occurred in 1240.
On Thursday, 2 September 2021, no more lava flow had been seen from the crater. The volcano was clearly more inactive. However, a lot of gas was still flowing out of the crater.
On Saturday, 11 September 2021, activity could be observed again.
From 18 September 2021, activity came to a standstill again.
On 18 October 2021, the warning level was lowered from "Orange" to "Yellow" after no new lava production since 18 September. The Icelandic Meteorological Office stated that the KrýsuvÃk volcano system was in a non-eruptive status.
(as of October 2021)
Ein Ausbruch im KrýsuvÃk-Vulkansystem auf der Halbinsel Reykjanes im Südwesten Islands – rund 30 km südwestlich von Reykjavik – begann am 19. März 2021 am Südabhang des Bergmassives Fagradalsfjall. Auf der Halbinsel Reykjanes hatte es zuvor seit fast 800 Jahren keinen Vulkanausbruch mehr gegeben; der letzte Ausbruch ereignete sich 1240.
Am Donnerstag, dem 2. September 2021 war kein Lavafluss aus dem Krater mehr zu sehen gewesen. Der Vulkan war deutlich inaktiver. Allerdings entströmte dem Krater noch sehr viel Gas.
Am Samstag, dem 11. September 2021 waren erneut Aktivität zu beobachten.
Ab dem 18. September 2021 kam die Aktivität erneut zum Erliegen.
Am 18. Oktober 2021 wurde die Warnstufe von "Orange" auf "Gelb" gesenkt, nachdem seit 18. September keine neue Lavaförderung mehr erfolgte. Das Icelandic Meteorological Office konstatierte, dass das KrýsuvÃk-Vulkansystem sich in einem nicht-eruptiven Status befände.

The first written mention of Chełmno is known from a document allegedly issued in 1065 by Duke Boleslaus II of Poland for the Benedictine monastery in Mogilno. In 1226 Duke Konrad I of Masovia invited the Teutonic Knights to Chełmno Land. In 1233 Kulm was granted city rights known as "Kulm law" (renewed in 1251), the model system for over 200 Polish towns. The town grew prosperous as a member of the mercantile Hanseatic League. Kulm and Chelmno Land were part of the Teutonic Knights' state until 1466, when after the Thirteen Years' War Chełmno was incorporated into Poland and made the capital of Chełmno Voivodeship.
In 1772, following the First Partition of Poland-Lithuania, the city was taken over by the Kingdom of Prussia. Between 1807 and 1815 Chełmno was part of the Duchy of Warsaw, being reannexed by Prussia at the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

I had to atually do some "Honey Dos" last weekend.
You know the ones - Honey do this, Honey do that.
So some paint on metal posts had to be touched up and naturally it was a special paint which I had to hunt down. Made by Resene Paint in New Zealand, it is a metallic paint, and quite stiff as you can see from the picture above, taken after stirring it to try to make the contents evenly dispersed throughout the mix.
For those that are polychromatically challenged, metallic paint has a aluminium type substrate added which gives it a sparkly effect.
Most new cars these days are painted in metallic as often and only white is offered in the "normal" price and any other colour costs extra, perhaps another way that the manufacturers use to surgically remove more $$ from you.
Metallic paint is also called polychromatic or "metal flake" paint.
Historically, it was difficult to achieve an invisible repair if the paint was damaged because it is critical at which angle the flakes in the paint lie. Modern techniques have more or less eliminated this problem. Similarly it was difficult for amateurs to get an evenly dispersed mix of the metallics, and when sprayed on a surface, would clearly show up. Trust me I speak from experience.
It appears that metallic paint use on cars goes back to about 1930 which surprises me.

Still wearing its Conrail Quality paint job, NS #5414 sits with a long line of SD50s outside of the Juniata shops in August of 2009. They would all eventually rebuilt into SD40Es, replacing the SD40-2s that had long been assigned to the helper pool out of Altoona. Their reign would be brief, however, as within a few more years NS would decide to re-equip the helper pool yet again with SD70ACUs. Today, the SD40Es can be found in local service across the NS system.
#5414 was built as Conrail #6723 in December of 1983. Wary of EMD's HTC truck after a serious of derailments involving Amtrak's SDP40Fs (in which the HTC truck was blamed by the railroads, which later proved to be not exactly the case), Conrail ordered all of their SD40-2s and the bulk of their SD50s with the older Flexicoil style trucks. Conrail traded in most of its aging SD35 fleet on these units, which eventually totaled a respectable 135 on the roster. Despite some early problems, Conrail generally enjoyed high reliability from its SD50 fleet.
With a 1700 crew from Concordia on board, a pair of UTAH MK50-3's cross Buffalo Creek on the KYLE Concordia Sub with KYLE train KYLLISA. They're just west of the wye at Yuma JCT, and they're creeping their way towards Salina, though this crew won't make far past Beloit.
The majority of the KYLE Railroad from Limon, CO across Kansas is former Rock Island trackage, but the eastern most part of their system is comprised of interlaced former MP and UP branches that zig-zag towards Solomon, using the UP's former KP main into Salina. This is former Mo-Pac rails here, originally built by the Central Branch Union Pacific Railroad.
These MK50-3's are slowly riding off into the sunset, which is somewhat symbolic as their fate might be sealed with the arrival of SD40-2's from the RCPE earlier in the week. Of the 6 that have called the KYLE home, only these two were currently in service.
These were both originally MK5000C's built by Morrison-Knudsen. With the intention to compete with both EMD and GE, the MK5000C's featured CAT 3612 prime movers producing 5,000 hp, and for a brief period, both MK and Caterpillar held the title for most powerful locomotive with single prime mover, though they were quickly out shined by GE with the AC6000CW and later EMD with both the SD80MAC and SD90MAC. 6 total were built, 3 in August 1994 for demonstration on the Southern Pacific and three more in August 1995 for demonstration on the UP. Neither railroad was impressed with them, and they were returned after one year of demonstration. The high-horsepower program was terminated by MK Rail, and production was officially halted after the sale of MK Rail in 1996. MK Rail was renamed as MotivePower Industries, or "Boise Locomotive", and they later merged with Westinghouse Air Brake Company in 1999 to form Wabtec.
In 2001, the MK5000C's were tested and bought by UTAH Railway, though the CAT prime movers didn't prove successful for them. The solution was rebuilding them with EMD 3,500 hp 645-type engines, essentially being rebuilt as SD50's. Retaining their distinct cab's, noses and Dofasco trucks, these were designated as MK50-3's and returned to service for the UTAH. In 2017, all 6 were eventually moved to the KYLE.
Though it may be at the very end of their careers, I finally make a trip out here to shoot these engines. In the 8 years they've served on the KYLE, I never got around to chasing them. Not super close to come out here all the time, but also not too far to never make a trip. Thankfully, this spur of the moment trip was very successful. 10/4/25.

Unison is a memory hog... but heck I need my Newsgroups. I guess downloading 2.5 million headers at once will cause a few memory management problems. :-)
I was heading back from walking Archie the dog in Glen Cannich when this large thrush flew up from the roadside into a nearby birch tree. I reached for the camera and took a few quick shots, when I looked at this shot on the back of the camera I realised it had a big juicy caterpillar in its mouth; no doubt the nest was close by.

My method for shooting the sunrise is pretty much the same. I point and shoot using my Nikon Coolpix P-1000 camera. It can take photos miles from where I'm standing. I always shoot my photo facing east through the neighbour's driveway while standing on my front step.
