The stunning reflection of Bridge 2 on the Shropshire Union Canal in Wolverhampton.
The night after this was taken there was a shooting by this bridge.
The Union Chain Bridge across the River Tweed near Horncliffe, Scotland is on the left and England on the right.
Seen from my lunch spot after cycling there (72 miles round trip) on a rather hot day (we did have one or two, but 24/25C not 34/35C as experienced further south). The previous upload (below) 'Cuthbert's Cheviot View' was taken on my way back.
Thanks to Blondie for the title nudge.

I'm now enjoying a bit of a YouTube Blondie-fest 😊😊😊,
I will have to get out my Parallel Lines CD next!
Initial part of the aqueduct of Segovia where its lowest height is built of pure granite and with the joints only by pressure of the stones
With rain clouds hovering and rains in the far background, it was just a question of time when the Rainbow and the train would pop up around the same time.
Here, a South bound UP Stack train is headed towards San Antonio on Austin Sub, track 1 at New Braunfels, TX.

The BAP Unión is a training sailship of the Peruvian navy built between 2012–2015 by Shipyard Marine Industrial Services of Peru.
It's a four masted class A barque and has a total length of 115,5 meters.
Like other similar ships, Unión has been conceived not only for training purposes, but also to be a sailing ambassador for its home country
It is the largest sail vessel of Latin America and it's an honour for Rotterdam to see this beautiful ship in the city.
And no, they are not saluting the photographer, but playing there national anthem in the morning.
In the company of an MP15 over a quarter-century its junior, a Union Railroad TR5 set idles in front of the railroad’s roundhouse at Hall, Pennsylvania. Anyone who read model railroading magazines in the 1960’s and 1970’s surely remembers Athearn’s cow-and-calf ads for their EMD models. I believe that this was the only such set that I ever photographed.
"Hear the lonesome whistle blow" . . .originally created in 1862, UP operates over 8,000 locomotives in states west of Chicago. . .here coming into Kansas City.
Wikipedia: Union Pacific 4014 is a preserved 4884-1 class 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" type steam locomotive owned and operated by the Union Pacific (UP) as part of its heritage fleet. Built in November 1941 by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in Schenectady, New York, it was assigned to haul heavy freight trains in the Wasatch mountain range. The locomotive was retired from revenue service on July 21, 1959, and donated to the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society in late 1961. It was displayed in Fairplex at the RailGiants Train Museum in Pomona, California.
In 2013, UP re-acquired the locomotive and launched a restoration project at its Steam Shop in Cheyenne, Wyoming. In May 2019, No. 4014 moved under its own power after sitting dormant for almost six decades, becoming the world's largest operational steam locomotive and the only operating Big Boy locomotive of the eight that remain in existence. It now operates in excursion service for the UP steam program. No. 4014 became the first mainline steam locomotive to be equipped with the positive train control system in 2021.
As Hibernia was getting off the ground last March, Alvaro posted their Baserunner, and I loved everything about it. I just had to build one, so I added a removable bed covering to the chassis that still allowed for some cargo to be stowed underneath.

Three Union RR MP15s pull a cut of cars up the incline from Edgar Thompson Works for the shove move across the Monongahela River to Duquesne, PA.
An eastbound Union Pacific Z train with brand new power rolls away from Mt. Hood. The train is on the segment of double track east of The Dalles, Oregon.
The huge nose on this SD60M, combined with the postage stamp sized UP shield, demonstrates why fans begged UP to bring back the streamliner wings in the 1990s.

It was your comments that made me realize I had a theme of transportation going here, and that really is the story of this town situated on the Oregon Trail. The distances involved in the great American West are gigantic, and the arteries of transportation directly determined the patterns of settlement. Here on this morning, literally within a few hundred meters of each other, I had photographed a horse and wagon, a river boat and a train - all the main characters of very recent history in this area.
On a different note, Blanca was rather terrified of the locomotive that made the ground shake as it went by!
Severe weather season is here! One of my favorite times of year. A Union Pacific westbound the P-Burg local rumbles up the front range out of tunnel 1; tornado warned super cells and large hail pummel the eastern plains leaving majestic storm light on the Foothills.
I needed a distraction from the 1500-2000 captures I made from my two weeks on the chase of the Big Boy. The severe storms today were a welcome distraction.
