Because of the Howard Street Tunnel’s closure to make the tunnel larger to fit Double Stacked Intermodal Trains, Trains can no longer travel North of Downtown Baltimore. Because trains such as I032 and I031 cannot reach Bayview Yard to receive it’s Baltimore intermodal loads and locations north of Baltimore such as Philadelphia,PA and Trenton,NJ, CSX has come up with a temporary plan for these high priority intermodal trains to still be able to bring Intermodal to Baltimore. These trains will temporarily end their route in Curtis Bay Baltimore (A Yard South of Downtown Baltimore and the Howard Street tunnels). Because all intermodal traffic has been moved to Curtis Bay, the local known as Y131 now brings I031’s loads into Curtis Bay from the Seawall branch line that connects to the yard that before the tunnel closure only got autorack locals. CSX has set up a Temporary intermodal Ramp next to the autorack ramp that this train is bringing these cars from.

Stilt Fishing is one of the most interesting traditional fishing methods of Sri Lanka. Records indicate that it came into being just after World War II. This mode of fishing was more widely used all along the coast until the tsunami in 2004 which caused such activities to cease temporarily until recent years. The beautiful sight of fishermen perched branched poles as they fish skillfully during dawn, noon and dusk; can now be commonly along the southern coast
It appears to be very difficult to kill off the Pacers. Despite mass withdrawals at the end of last year a number of units look likely to be pressed back into service providing additional capacity whilst social distancing measures are required on public transport.
Although many people were glad to see the back of them this seems to be a sensible decision rather than increasing risk by having overcrowded trains or leaving people standing on the platforms.
Four units worked the 3Z01 ECS from Heaton, where they had been in warm storage, to Newton Heath.

5. The Changing Face of the Morteratsch Glacier
January 2024

Nel pomeriggio, il sole invernale illumina il ghiacciaio del Morteratsch. Tra le masse di neve fresca emergono seracchi azzurri, torri di ghiaccio compresso, formatesi a causa di tensioni e fratture all’interno del corpo glaciale. Una gelida brezza solleva fiocchi di neve sulla superficie.
Con una lunghezza di circa 6 chilometri, il ghiacciaio si estende dagli alti campi di ghiaccio attorno al Piz Bernina (4049 m) fino alla valle, a circa 2100 metri di altitudine. Lungo il percorso riceve acqua da ghiacciai minori, tra cui il ghiacciaio del Pers. Insieme danno origine all’Ova da Morteratsch, un torrente che, attraverso l’Inn, raggiunge infine il Mar Nero. Un raro esempio di fiume alpino che scorre verso est.
Il ghiacciaio del Morteratsch non è solo spettacolare da osservare, ma rende anche visibili gli effetti del cambiamento climatico. In alcuni anni, si ritira fino a 40 metri. Lungo il sentiero glaciale sono segnati i livelli raggiunti in anni precedenti. Allo stesso tempo, il luogo è teatro di esperimenti promettenti. Qui i ricercatori testano metodi innovativi per rallentare temporaneamente lo scioglimento, come teli riflettenti e neve artificiale.

Am Nachmittag fällt das Licht der Wintersonne auf den Morteratschgletscher. Zwischen den frischen Schneemassen ragen blaue Seracs empor, Türme aus komprimiertem Eis, entstanden durch Spannungen und Brüche im Gletschereis. Ein eisiger Wind fegt über die Oberfläche und wirbelt feinen Schnee auf.
Mit einer Länge von rund 6 Kilometern erstreckt sich der Gletscher von den hohen Eisfeldern rund um den Piz Bernina (4049 m) bis ins Tal auf etwa 2100 Meter Höhe. Unterwegs wird er unter anderem vom Persgletscher gespeist. Gemeinsam bilden sie die Quelle der Ova da Morteratsch, eines Bachs, der über den Inn schliesslich ins Schwarze Meer fliesst. Ein seltenes Beispiel für einen Alpenfluss, der ostwärts verläuft.
Der Morteratschgletscher ist nicht nur eindrucksvoll anzusehen, sondern zeigt auch deutlich die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels. In manchen Jahren zieht er sich um bis zu 40 Meter zurück. Entlang des Gletscherpfads sind frühere Positionen markiert. Gleichzeitig ist der Ort ein Schauplatz hoffnungsvoller Experimente. Forschende testen hier innovative Methoden, um das Abschmelzen vorübergehend zu verlangsamen, etwa durch reflektierende Decken oder künstlichen Schnee.

In the afternoon, the winter sun casts its light over the Morteratsch Glacier. Amid the fresh snow masses, blue seracs rise up, towers of compressed ice formed by stress and fractures within the glacier body. A biting wind sweeps across the surface, stirring up fine snow.
Stretching approximately 6 kilometers, the glacier descends from the high icefields around Piz Bernina (4049 m) down to the valley at about 2100 meters. Along the way, it is fed by tributaries such as the Pers Glacier. Together, they form the source of the Ova da Morteratsch, a stream that flows via the Inn River to the Black Sea, a rare example of an Alpine river flowing eastward.
The Morteratsch Glacier is not only visually striking but also a clear indicator of climate change. In some years, it retreats by as much as 40 meters. Along the glacier path, markers show its extent in previous years. At the same time, it is a site of hopeful experimentation. Researchers are testing innovative ways to temporarily slow melting, including reflective blankets and artificial snow.
We experienced a few days period with snow or sleet. In next day from the date of this photo it started to rain and two days later practically no snow was left. Back to dark and dull November.

Can't just walk by such great light without taking a photo - even though I only had my phone to do the job. :D

After a day battling roadworks and temporary traffic lights around Devon, there's nothing nicer than getting home to find a set on my street.
The temporary lake, in Sanur Plain near the city of Jenin, due to the formation of soils in the plain. Water collects annually and a temporary lake is formed due to the difficulty of drainage.

The Cardboard Cathedral, formally called the Transitional Cathedral, in Christchurch, New Zealand, is the transitional pro-cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch, replacing ChristChurch Cathedral, which was significantly damaged in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. The Cardboard Cathedral was designed by the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban and opened in August 2013. It is located on the site of St John the Baptist Church on the corner of Hereford and Madras Streets in Latimer Square, several blocks from the permanent location of ChristChurch Cathedral.

A quiet Sunday afternoon along US 12....we find a transfer move between Michigan City, Shops and Gary. We are in beautiful Burns Harbor (Wilson), Indiana. November 20, 2022.
SFG 565 making its way past Carleton station, currently abandoned until the line opens back to Gaspé.
Snow squalls meet CPKC 241 while it charges north of Erskine. Wind and blowing snow were already a factor before this blast of snow came through. It made for a dramatic winter scene.

every morning this place is filled up with fog. this mythical phenomenon is created in the following manner: the bottom of the basin, although the surface is dry, contains a lot of groundwater, and the evaporation of the water over the night forms fog.
best to view on black
The temporary footbridge should have been removed a few weeks ago, according to the locals, but the works on the main footbridge are well behind schedule. So the great view over the swing bridge and grain stores remains for the RHTT season. 3J51 York - York RHTT service, with 37407 on the rear.

Greetings to Aviator Urbex, TS-Urbex, Urban Photo for the meeting ;)
A bit of wasp nest blew onto fresh snow. So delicate and beautiful which is weird to say about wasps. It's amazing how quick they build and that it's only for one season - most of the wasps dying off when winter hits and their home at the mercy of it as well.
I was in Parkanaur forest park one evening last year and only had my phone with me... ever the opportunist, I snapped these gorgeous rhododendron blossoms and was pretty pleased with the result.
Just a few days later and the petals were gone..... As always, nature has a way of teaching us life lessons... In a day and age when looks and beauty are counted so important (by the fashion/beauty industry - not by me!!!) it's wise to remember that these things only last for a while and that real beauty comes from deep within, it's the heart that counts!!!! and that's not just something "ugly" people say! :)
I will be off air for a while - have an important visitor from Canada coming to stay with me for a couple of days - so i'm busy making fudge, banoffee pie, chocolate cake and loads of other goodies lol
Have a great weekend everyone and thank you for your views, comments and faves :) :) :)
