“Listen…” His words trailed off with a sigh. When he did that I knew what was coming next.
He gestured to the side and spoke again, “I know you’re the Princess and all, but you can’t have me locking up every person who looks at you the wrong way.”
I stopped and gave him one of my winning smiles, I even added a brief batting of my eyes for extra measure. “You like it.” I gave him a light tap to his chest and started walking again.
I knew he rolled his eyes at me, I could feel it. A moment later he followed after, re-taking up his position as my guard. He has had his position for over two-years now and not once had he hesitated to take care of anyone who came at me with ill-intentions. Sometimes I liked to think it was simply because he was good at his job, but other times I wondered if it was something else . . .
“They tried to stop her, but they failed miserably. They overlooked her, tried to discourage her, and sabotage her, but she persevered through it all with her head held high. They talked behind her back and plotted against her, but they didn’t realize that they were messing with an unstoppable, resilient Black Queen. She’s ambitious, intelligent, self-confident, and bold. She’s a Phenomenal Black Queen that didn’t have to compromise her integrity to get ahead. She’s genuinely happy, successful, and free to be herself. She can, she does, she wins!”
― Stephanie Lahart
A rare Saturday working of 6S45 presented a rare winter opportunity to see this working in daylight hours, and fortunately this coincided with an agreeably sunny day. A little after 9am 66744 is seen approaching Winning Signal box only a mile or so into it's journey.
The substantial puddle is an indication of the quantity of rain that has fallen over the past few weeks.
19th December 2020.
Diese Züge sind genau wie Containerzüge immer ein wenig Glücksache für den Fotografen, von voll beladen bis leere Tragwagen ist alles möglich.
Am 26. April 2022 war dieser KLV-Zug bei Winningen an der Mosel sehr dünn beladen, aber immerhin waren die ersten 3 Waggons hinter der 186 304 von Euro Cargo Rail mit Wechselpritschen bestückt.
The view descending the stairs to the beach at Point Lonsdale looked like an alien scene at this hour of the morning.
Drove down to the Historic Carl Sandberg Property on Saturday morning and walked around Side Lake. It was gently raining and the colors were amazing. The Carl Sandburg National Historic Site is located near Hendersonville in the village of Flat Rock, North Carolina, and was the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and writer Carl Sandburg. The 264-acre site includes the Sandburg residence, the goat farm, rolling pastures, mountainside woods, 5 miles of hiking trails and two small lakes.

Your struggles develop your strengths.

decide not to surrender, that is strength.”

One of the strangest and most memorable things I've lived through is being in Paris when France won the World Cup. The streets were absolutely transformed and I have many photos of people rejoicing (some that I have posted previously).
But, I also tend to be drawn to that opposite feeling and the bipolar sense that happens in reality. Because, it's such a strong current of collective consciousness when that many people are rooting for something that you actually forget it's about sports at all and it feels more about the collective spirit of France or even of humanity.
I could tell that this girl wanted to be a part of that with the way she had decorated her face and with the French flag she was holding but I think she didn't quite know how and that's an interesting thing to capture...maybe even more intriguing for me than all the wild dancing and singing. We are all young and awkward once and some of us know very intrinsically (even when we're older) precisely how this girl felt.

I'm quite sure many award winning togs do this sort of thing, a wee tweek and a bit of added pazzazz. It makes a prettier picture and that's what we try to do isn't it? No matter what Loch Shiel looks pretty special a lot of the time. Best loch in Scotland! It's not always grey here.

The photo was entered into YTL's 2015 Photo competition and was narrowed down to the finalist stage where it was awarded a Merit Prize at YTL's Leadership Conference in Kuala Lumpur in December 2015
No, not this photo, but if I had managed to get there for the sunrise, who knows, it could have been award winning. If you follow Lynne Berry (and if you don't, why not?) then you will know that I agreed to met her and her donkey at this location for sunrise. The coloured light that morning was spectacular. I know because I viewed it for the whole journey from Craster to Lindisfarne. I just got there too late.But still, always fun capturing these upturned boat sheds and that castle.
Arranged for the Macro Monday theme "Four" this might be a winning hand ... or not.
Thanks for viewing ... and for your Faves that inspire us. HMM!

South of Tuam, was the one intermediate rural station of Ballygluin on the section to Athenry. Opened in 1860 as part of the Athenry and Tuam Railway. The station is now best remembered as “Castletown’ in the opening scene of John Forde’s original Irish ‘Rom Com’ the 1952 academy award winning movie “The Quiet Man featuring John Wayne.
Here’s 'Ballygluin’ as ‘Castletown’ in it’s heyday in the opening scenes of the movie the day Hollywood came to town..
Back in 1997, Ballygluin was still in relatively good condition, it seeing it’s last trains only a few years earlier, Faded CIE & Westrail posters still adorned the platforms, It’s Signal box, now overgrown & roofless good shed remained. Happily in recent years it has been restored as a visitor centre for the film and it’s future looks secure. At some stage it might see trains again even if only heritage again calling at this charming rural station.
More info on the restoration & visitor centre here..
