The horizon changes everything. Who, in his right mind, worships a candle once he realizes its sole purpose is to help guide him toward the dawn? Likewise, who in his right mind thinks that his light and his light alone can guide the path forward? Once I see that what I see is not the totality of the truth, I also see other people, perhaps for the first time. I see them in their alterity—in their otherness—and not merely as empty abstractions or potential resources (or obstacles) for satisfying my desires. If I take God to exist, well, then, they must exist as well; they must have something to do with the same God who created me. They must be I’s like me. Perhaps I should listen to them. Perhaps, even, I should love them, maybe, even, as much as I love myself. Maybe, even, if they don’t love me.

E' ripreso poco prima di Adria, questo merci da Rovigo, destinato all'area industriale di Cavanella Po.
_______________
A few chilometers short of Adria station, this freight travels toward Cavanella Po industrial estate.
Several feet to the right is a hummingbird feeder that bees and birds "share" (as in fight over). As this Rufous Hummingbird was coming toward the feeder, the bee popped out from behind the post. The hummingbird wisely slammed on the brakes: bee/wasp stings can kill hummers.
Just a hint of colour and some blur in the fast moving clouds makes for an interesting sky over Dunmore Bridge. Woodville, New South Wales. Australia.

Toward Point is the southern extremity of the Cowal Peninsula, near the village of Toward and six miles south of Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. There has been a lighthouse here since 1812. The location is the south-west extreme point of the Highland Boundary Fault as it crosses the Scottish mainland. Toward Point Lighthouse was completed in 1812. It was built by Robert Stevenson (1772–1850) for the Cumbrae Lighthouse Trust. Two lighthouse keepers' houses were added in the later 1800s. A white building on the foreshore housed the foghorn mechanism, originally a steam engine and then diesel engines. The foghorn was taken out of operation in the 1990s. Today the buildings are a private home and not open to the public.

Looking toward the tower on the beach at El Palmar, Spain
At 5:52 p.m. on March 22, 2024, Amtrak’s California Zephyr descends off the front range mountains towards its next station and service stop of Denver. The eastbound train has just exited Tunnel 1 and is headed for the mouth of Coal Creek Canyon between aptly-named Plainview, and Eisele, Colorado. Train 6 this day is led by freshly-repainted GE P42DC No. 82 in current Phase VII colors, and is entering a large horseshoe curve that will send it eastward toward Big 10 Curve and a descent toward Denver.
As April rolls on toward May, there’s hope, at least, that tourists will soon no longer need coats to take a boat ride, though one can never really be certain here. This shot of Chicago’s Michigan Avenue DuSable Bridge looks north from the south side of the Chicago River.
For Our Daily Challenge: Hope; and for Fence Friday. Depending on how one counts, there are at least eight separate fences visible in this image.
HFF!
Some beautiful light and skies this morning at daybreak on Ballytrent looking out toward the Tuskar Lighthouse.
When the deer has bedded down
"And the bear has gone to ground
And the northern goose has wandered off
To warmer bay and sound
It's so easy in the cold to feel
The darkness of the year
And the heart is growing lonely for the morning
Oh, my Joanie, don't you know
That the stars are swingin' slow
And the seas are rollin' easy
As they did so long ago
If i had a thing to give you
I would tell you one more time
That the world is always turning toward the morning."
"Turning Toward The Morning" by New England singer and songwriter, Gordon Bok
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all you fine Flickr friends !
A vile weather morning on the moor: bittingly cold, fierce wind, rain or hail launching at me every time I took the camera out of the bag. Oh well.
The glacier- and cloud-capped volcanic peak of Mount Rainier (at 14,411 ft [4,392 m], the highest peak in the Cascade Range) looming more than 9,000 feet above the steep trail headed up its slopes, as summer wildflowers begin to fill the alpine meadows.
We went out a calm evening to lay down a few crab pots and the water was so calm. My brother's son is sitting in front looking into the horizon. We took the opportunity to take a bath from the boat as well =)
Bay Line 3018 takes the Hilton Turn over W Church Street in Columbia, AL roughly 1-2 miles from their destination of Hilton, GA.
In Hilton, they will interchange with the CIRR and HAL then turn back west to head back toward Dothan, AL for the day.

Ruta de las tres cascadas de Ardonés
La cascada de Ardonés, también conocida como cascada del Bom, es uno de los rincones más bonitos del entorno de Cerler. Su proximidad, fácil acceso y belleza, hacen de este lugar parada prácticamente obligatoria para todos los que visiten esta zona.
Desde Cerler tomamos la carretera en dirección a la Estación de Cerler. Cuando llevamos aproximadamente unos 4,5 kilómetros recorridos llegamos hasta el cruce de la carretera con el barranco del Ampriu, que es salvado por un pequeño puente. Siguiendo por la carretera unos 600 metros más adelante llegamos a una curva muy cerrada con una pequeña explanada a su izquierda, desde la cual parte un camino o pista el cual tomaremos. Podemos dejar el coche en este punto y continuar a pie por la pista durante 1 kilómetro (10-15 minutos) o bién seguir en coche hasta el final de la misma donde lo estacionaremos para seguir a pié por una senda que parte a nuestra derecha y que en unos 600 metros (5-10 minutos) nos dejará a los piés de la cascada.
A los pies de la cascada existe un pequeño puente el cual, si no baja mucho caudal por el barranco, podremos atravesar y continuar por la senda que discurre por la cara opuesta del barranco y que más adelante atraviesa el Barranco del Clotet. Desde este punto podemos regresar por donde hemos venido o bien continuar por esta senda hasta alcanzar más adelante otro sendero que desciende hasta el fondo del barranco de Ardones, donde existe un pequeño puente que nos permitirá cruzar el barranco y continuar por la senda que termina en el final de la pista por la que hemos venido completando así un pequeño recorrido circular de aproximadamente 1,5 km en unos 25 minutos. Desde aquí regresaremos a pié por la pista hasta llegar a la carretera en unos 15 minutos.
Route of the Three Ardonés Waterfalls
The Ardonés waterfall, also known as the Bom waterfall, is one of the most beautiful spots in the Cerler area. Its proximity, easy access, and beauty make this a must-see for anyone visiting this area.
From Cerler, we take the road toward Cerler Station. After approximately 4.5 kilometers, we reach the intersection of the road and the Ampriu ravine, which we cross over a small bridge. Continuing along the road for about 600 meters, we reach a sharp bend with a small esplanade on the left, from which a path or track leads off, which we take. We can leave the car at this point and continue on foot along the track for 1 kilometer (10-15 minutes), or we can continue by car to the end of the track, where we will park and continue on foot along a path that branches off to our right and, in about 600 meters (5-10 minutes), will take us to the foot of the waterfall.
At the foot of the waterfall, there is a small bridge. If the water level in the ravine is low, we can cross it and continue along the path that runs along the opposite side of the ravine and further on crosses the Clotet Ravine. From this point, we can return the way we came or continue along this path until we reach another trail that descends to the bottom of the Ardones Ravine. There is a small bridge that allows us to cross the ravine and continue along the path that ends at the end of the track we have been following, completing a short circular route of approximately 1.5 km in about 25 minutes. From here we will walk back along the track until we reach the road in about 15 minutes.

Now here's something I never thought I'd see - a Ferromex geep leading the CP weed sprayer train through Milwaukee.
The 2WCM-7 train starts their pull eastward on Main 2 after a shove move out of the south lead at Muskego Yard.
They will work south to Rondout today. After the grumpy dispatcher - who clearly didn't want to give them the time of day - finally relents and gives them the signal at the Cut Off, they waste no time getting the train moving toward the depot and points south.

Just a half hour but seemingly a world away from the outer suburbs of DC is the small town of Delaplane. Known better for its many wineries, it's also a picturesque spot to view trains in either direction on the B-Line. Here, NS 274 passes the old antique shop on their way toward Front Royal.
"Why are the woods so alluring? A forest appears
to a young girl one morning as she combs
the dreams out of her hair. The trees rustle
and whisper, shimmer and hiss. The forest
opens and closes, a door loose on its hinges,
banging in a strong wind. Everything in the dim
kitchen: the basin, the jug, the skillet, the churn,
snickers scornfully. In this way a maiden
is driven toward the dangers of a forest,
but the forest is our subject, not this young girl.
She’s glad to lie down with trees towering all around.
A certain euphoria sets in. She feels molecular,
bedeviled, senses someone gently pulling her hair,
tingles with kisses she won’t receive for years.
Three felled trees, a sort of chorus, narrate
her thoughts, or rather channel theirs through her,
or rather subject her to their peculiar verbal
restlessness ... our deepening need for non-being intones
the largest and most decayed tree, mid-sentence.
I’m not one of you squeaks the shattered sapling,
blackened by lightning. Their words become metallic
spangles shivering the air. Will I forget the way home?
the third blurts. Why do I feel like I’m hiding in a giant’s nostril?
the oldest prone pine wants to know. Are we being freed
from matter? the sapling asks. Insects are well-intentioned,
offers the third tree, by way of consolation. Will it grow
impossible to think a thought through to its end? gasps the sapling,
adding in a panicky voice, I’m becoming spongy! The girl
feels her hands attach to some distant body. She rises
to leave, relieved these trees are not talking about her."

For Our Daily Challenge: "Steps" and "Aged"
I did not have much time to use Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f2 vintage Prominent lens. There is maybe only one or two Voligtländer lenses that has higher or similar esteem as this one. To be honest, I did not tamed it yet.
A male ring-necked pheasant approaches a landing as he stretches his feet toward the ground while framed by an environment of snow. If pheasants could speak, I would wager most of them will be happy when spring finally arrives.
Pheasants have one of the lower rates of survival in Minnesota winters compared to other larger birds as they can have annual mortality rates for adults that ranges from 50% to 70%.
One interesting fact about pheasants is they maintain a body temperature of 107-109 degrees in every season. In summer, they pant to release heat and often take a dust bath to cool down. In winter, they fluff up their feathers to trap warm air that acts as insulation against the cold.
I am not a hot summer person and when I read about the dust bath I added that to my bucket list in case it might work.

On time from New Orleans. Amtrak's Crescent vaults over the Rockfish River toward its next stop at Charlottesville. This is the fromer Southern Ry main between Atlanta and Washington DC.
I must say this latest version of the Amtrak scheme makes the P42s look great. The Phase VII, rolled out in 2022, is the latest livery for most Amtrak equipment, debuting on the Siemens Charger ALC-42 locomotives. In January 2024, Amtrak began repainting Genesis locomotives in this livery, reportedly due to the depletion of Phase V paint supplies at the Beech Grove Shops.
