Following the first Gulf War, Union Pacific SD40-2 No. 3593 was unveiled in camouflage tan and brown paint on February 27, 1991.
Named "Desert Victory," 3593 wore handrail placards that listing the names and hometowns of the 66 Union Pacific employees called to serve in the US military.

The ultimate
So this is the ultimate —
That we bleed with our backs to the wall,
While the rats and weasels of fate
Eat at our liver and gall;
Eat at our hearts with teeth of bane,
And tug at the sick white roots of pain
Where every man’s alone,
And scrape a tune on the deep nerve-string
That is love and life and everything,
And gnaw our flesh to the bone.
Is this the ultimate?
No! This is nothing at all!
Some human dramas stop with this;
With this some curtains fall.
But the play that the high gods love
In their Theatre of Space
Has the mind, the mind for the stage thereof
And the soul for its dancing place!
Oh shapes of terror and fear,
Oh shapes of loathing and lust,
That gibber and jibe at us here
Ye break earth’s shallow crust.
Far back that stage recedes —
Who knows where that stairway goes?
Who knows where that passage leads?
And that door? Who knows? Who knows?
For the rats that again and again
Gnaw at each rib and joint
Of the vessel of our pain
Stop gasping at this point;
And in crowds they flee from the ship
That steers for the open sea
And turns the prow of its bleeding lip
Towards eternity!

Going big on this F-unit Friday. Santa Fe's hundreds of red and silver F's are the face of American railroading, and the tradition continued in the second generation with the purchase of nine massive FP45 units from EMD. These 20-cylinder, 3600 hp, six motor, steam generator equipped cowl units were the epitome of streamlined aesthetic, melding the earlier era of industrial design with the more utilitarian look of the modern era. Only 14 units were built, with the others going to the Milwaukee Road. Here is the preserved ATSF 95, seen in July 2008 on display at Barstow CA.
Interesting to note that the FP45s were constructed only three years after E-unit production ended.

The Ultimate Beak!
The Lappet-faced Vulture or Nubian vulture (Torgos tracheliotos) is an Old World vulture belonging to the bird order Accipitriformes.
Getting the first crack at tearing into wildebeest flesh, is an honour usually bestowed upon the senior or perhaps showiest member of the dining party. On the savannahs of eastern Africa, it is the king of carrion.
The large, thick beak of the lappet-faced vulture is strong enough to tear open the thick hides of dead animals such as rhinoceros, elephant and hippo. They pave the way for other vultures and scavenging birds to attack the innards and clean the land of decaying carcasses. That they are an endangered species, often the unwitting and unintended victims of poisoned bait, is a travesty that could have far-reaching effects both up and down the foodchain.

Bark Looper Moth (Ectropis subtinctaria)
Not the easiest shot, it was on the trunk of our Plum tree and I had to get the camera on the trunk above the Moth.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

Cresting the last little climb towards their desination, G532 leads G512 towards Ultima on Qube's 9177 empty Ultima Hay service. The train would go head first into the siding before doing a main line run around.
My last trip to the Molotov Line, just a couple of days ago, proved to be an ultimate failure. Lots of uselessly burnt fuel, lots of driving on dusty roads and ploughing my way through dark, swampy thickets. All in vain. There was not even a trace of things I was looking for. Judging it from a different perspective I could say that another swath of terrain was checked thoroughly...
While lurking there I noticed a tree which looked somewhat apocalyptic to me so I tried to approach it to take a snap - only to be stopped dead in my tracks by a menacing sight of a terrifying predator waiting in ambush. I then realized that I made 200 kilometers to come to this place and I had not seen a single elephant, rhino or even a lion. The area was utterly cleansed... and I knew who, or what was behind it... Monster eyed me lazily, probably considering a puny human to be a sorrowful prey, not worth the usual effort of beheading the victim with a lightning speed. It seemed to wait for a more sizeable morsel, possibly a whale from a nearby water-filled hole.
I took a snap and then run pell-mell to my car. I throw my camera bag inside and, not bothering to slam the door shut, I drove off Mad-Max style across the fields - never to come back again.

Ok, my first attempts are all unsharp in the poor light but I'll have another go soon now I have a better measure of things. This is Ben at Ultimate Boxing in Congleton.
I used a Grey Smudge in PicMonkey. The white lines across the frame are actually the out-of focus ropes of the boxing ring I was shooting through.

Standing close to the water in the chilly stillness of dawn in Algonquin Park, it's wonderful to see the sun's warmth transforming the landscape - mist recedes to the shadows, fall colors begin to show themselves again, and, wait a minute...some lazy bum left a used coffee cup down by the water. It's visible in this picture.
There was a lot of that in Algonquin Park after the recent Thanksgiving weekend. We saw empty wine bottles tossed into the water, lots of Styrofoam cups, more discarded cups along the trails, and even a smashed Halloween pumpkin at a river.
It seems the ultimate irony to me that we seek out a pristine wilderness to rejuvenate ourselves and then spoil it with garbage too inconvenient to carry back out.
