You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousands times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
When the silence isn't quiet
And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we'll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
We'll take it to its feet
And move mountains

Over 30000 tons worth of a double grain train meanders 'down stream' through Palisade Canyon on Central Pacific's portion of the original transcontinental railroad.
The CP (SP) was later joined by the Western Pacific as both railroads treaded the Humboldt River through the Canyon. Following use by the USRA during WWI, the SP and WP paired their main tracks between Weso and Alazon (basically Winnemucca and Wells) with westbound trains using the SP and eastbounds on the WP. Today this arrangement largely remains the same but now under UP ownership.

Dear friends, I am back in a cold and wet Netherlands after 2 glorious and sunny weeks in Hermanus, South Africa. I've enjoyed my mom's 80th birthday and my family spoiled me rotten!
I've shot this sunrise scene at Onrusstrand one morning very early. I've dragged my youngest brother and my nephew along and we enjoyed immensely of the fresh air and ambience.
Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments while I was away. It might be impossible to catch up, but as always I'll do my best
I always wanted to take a photo like this and today I found a nice spot for it on my walk through a beech forest. These beech forests don't have any undergrowth as the canopy of leaves high overhead blocks out too much light. So it feels a bit like walking through a natural cathedral with the dim light and the tree trunks giving the impression of columns.

The girl spent most of the next three days cleaning the theater, scavenging chairs from other buildings, and even finding some curtains that could be used to dress up the stage.
The Angel would drop in occasionally, to watch, or sit and chat, and on one occasion to do maintenance on her leg frame, which fascinated the girl.
"Does it ever hurt?" she asked the Angel, who was tightening something, with a fixed look of concentration on her face.
"Oh no, well; rarely, I did try dancing last year and that got a bit iffy, although I'd been to the ballerina camp so I was slightly wobbly from the Vodka.
"I'm wondering if you *are* one of the Russian Ballet members, you know - I visited the camp last night .. " The girl rubbed the back of her head as if soothing a headache, then continued .. "They asked me to help them out."
The Angel glanced up from her work, a twinkling eye directed at the girl...."A tasting?" she asked.
The girl shook her head, then thought better of it, grasping the back of her head again. "No, no.... washing, I needed to wash a few things, and traded my time.." She paused a moment... "might have been some tasting...."

I knew Groundhogs could climb a bit but had no idea they would go so high up. The only reason I saw this Groundhog was because the Wood Thrushes in the area were quite alarmed so I looked up, half expecting to see a hawk or owl but saw this instead.

I posted the long shot of this stream running down the bottom of the valley the other day, this is a close up. Howegrain Beck taken from Christy Bridge,
Just after the UP merged with CNW. At least the Union Pacific had some interesting power leading this empty coal train.

When I am down, and, oh, my soul, so weary
When troubles come, and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me
You Raise Me Up

These two low flying speedsters (Pacific Black Ducks) were in perfect opposing synchronisation as I managed quite a few shots in a row with one set of wings being up, and the other down. They were really moving too, and I was actually completely shocked and pleased that the camera locked and held focus on them. This lens combination with the extender at a fixed f16 is definitely not an ideal birds in flight set up. The ducks were skimming along the surface of the Murray River in Mannum, South Australia.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
