Newburgh is a large stone-built village on the wide sandy estuary of the River Ythan, close to the point at which it is bridged by the A975. he origins of the village date back to 1261 when a charter was drawn up by Lord Sinclair establishing a settlement here. A little later it acquired the Chapel of the Holy Rood and St Thomas the Martyr in Inch Road. The Chapel is long gone, but the Udny Family Mausoleum which formed part of it can still be seen in the Holyrood Cemetery. art of the name of the original chapel also survives, in the imposing Holyrood Chapel on Main Street. This was originally built as a school in 1838, and the clock tower was added in 1892. The village itself developed as a centre for salmon fishing, and later as a small port. By the 1850s there was a steady traffic of boats and barges calling at the newly built quays on the River Ythan. And by the 1880s there was a small fleet of sailing vessels based here, alongside a dozen resident fishing boats. A little earlier, in 1828, Newburgh became the first port in Scotland to have a Lifeboat Station, then called the Shipwreck Institution. The RNLI, as the Institution became, based a lifeboat in Newburgh until 1961, when it moved to Peterhead. In the 1950s Newburgh remained an active port with quays and a mill. Much of its economic base had declined by 1970, but the corner was turned - as with so many settlements in north east Scotland - with the discovery of oil under the North Sea. Newburgh, with its attractive setting and within commuting range of both Aberdeen and Peterhead rapidly became a desirable place to live. Today's Newburgh is an active and thriving settlement. At its centre is the Udny Arms Hotel providing accommodation, great views over the River Ythan, and an excellent restaurant. Beyond the River Ythan lies one of the oddest landscapes in Britain. Forvie Sands comprises an area of dunes some three miles long and a mile wide. At its heart are the remains of Forvie Kirk, built in the 1100s. This is all that can now be seen of the village of Forvie, once a thriving community but buried by shifting dunes during a storm in 1413. www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/newburgh/newburgh/
Sands of Forvie Nature Reserve: www.visitscotland.com/info/towns-villages/forvie-national... Shifting sands and seabirds The stark beauty of empty sand dunes is complemented by the call of eider ducks, wafting like gentle gossiping across the Ythan estuary. With the constant shifting of the dunes, layers of history have come and gone, revealing the half buried remains of a twelfth century church. Bird life is plentiful and you can watch the summer acrobatics of diving terns or the determined stabbing of the carrot-coloured beaks of wading oystercatchers.
After a highly successful Montana Daylight tour of the SP&S 700, her Portland roommate may a similar trip two years after. Although most of the week long trip was marred by bad weather there still were a few great moments spent trackside watching her stretch her legs across most of MRL's awesome railroad.

"Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely
and youre never coming round
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit tired
of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
...."

One north and one south at Newaygo, MI. Another visit to the MQT yielded a GMD leader on the northbound trip.
Is it instability, that leads to turmoil,
or doubt, that makes you turn, or is it...?

River bend in Serbia near Ovcar Kablar mountains, gosh I don't remember the name of the river, this viewpoint was not easy to find, you need to drive on a single lane paved road in bad condition that dead ends at a seemingly abandoned village and walk up first a 4x4 road and then a trail marked by paint signs, the viewpoint itself can be quite dangerous if you want to avoid the tree branches, having suffered a fall only 3 years ago, I didn't take the risk and thus I have those distracting branches in the frame. It takes about 20-30 minutes hike from the end of normal car capabilities to this spot.

November 18, 2021 and many of the trees are still holding on to their beautifully colored leaves. Fall colors this year came in the last week of October peaking at the end of the first week of November. But, as one can see here, there are still some trees with leaves on them.

As in life. After using my Pentax Spotmatic for many years I decided to get more modern and went with a Minolta 7000i autofocus 35mm SLR. Sony purchased Minolta's camera division and carried on using A mount with its DSLRs. So I ended up with quite a few Minolta lenses that were very inexpensive second hand - before the Sony purchase. This was taken with a Minolta AF 200mm f2.8G APO on my Sony A7R with Sony mirrorless adapter.
The Denver & Rio Grande Western had complained for some time that Utah Railway's Alco powered coal trains were too slow pulling loads up Price Canyon. To remedy the situation, the Utah Railway established a pool power agreement with the Union Pacific in Provo for high horsepower locomotives late in 1977. One of the first Union Pacific powered 'Martin Turn' coal trains departs Provo Yard with a UP SD40X (UP 3045) and two SD40s (UP 3092, UP 3074) for power on Nov. 6, 1977.
