The California State Capitol during blue hour on April 8, 2022. Not far from here, I swore my oath during my naturalization ceremony. That was a bit more than a year ago, during a COVID-19 wave. To me it feels like all of that happened a long time ago…

With a long history as an anchorage for fishing boats, Fish Harbor (part of the Port of Los Angeles) is a rare place one can get very close to the fishing fleet.

Santa Caterina d'Alessandria or Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a Roman Catholic church with a main facade on Piazza Bellini, and a lateral Western facade facing the elaborate Fontana Pretoria, in the historic quarter of Kalsa in the city of Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. In front of the main facade, across the piazza Bellini, rise the older churches of San Cataldo and Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio (or the Martorana), while across Piazza Pretoria is the Theatine church of San Giuseppe and the entrance to the Quattro Canti. Refurbished over the centuries, the church retains elements and decorations from the Renaissance, Baroque, and late-Baroque (Rococo) eras. This church is distinct from the Oratorio di Santa Caterina found in the Olivella neighborhood.
In 1310, the rich Benvenuta Mastrangelo in her last will endowed the foundation of a female Dominican convent. The monastery was dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, and was sited on the location of the former palace of George of Antioch, admiral of Roger II of Sicily.
In 1532, it was decided to refurbish and enlarge the church, a work that took place mainly between 1566 and 1596 under the supervision of the Mother Prioress Maria del Carretto. In the past, the design was attributed to Giorgio di Faccio, architect of the Palermitan church of San Giorgio dei Genovesi. However, recent studies show the involvement of the architects Francesco Camilliani of Florence and Antonio Muttone of Lombardy, who were also engaged in the reassembly of the Fontana Pretoria. The new church was inaugurated on 24 November 1596. Many years later, on 16 March 1664, the church was consecrated by the archbishop of Palermo Pietro Martinez y Rubio in the presence of the Viceroy of Sicily Francesco Caetani, 8th Duke of Sermoneta.
During the 19th century the church was damaged on several occasions: during the uprising of 1820-1821; the Sicilian revolution of 1848; the Gancia revolt and the Siege of Palermo in 1860; and the Seven and a Half Days Revolt in 1866.

The interlocking between Washington Terminal's Line to Union Station and CSX's Landover Line late one very cold night on February 15, 2007. The M St tunnel is far in the distance and the Southeast/Southwest Freeway occupies the right portion of the photograph.
In a few years this southern portion of the Landover Line would become the northern end of the RF&P Subdivision after the interlocking here at CP Virginia was rebuilt which added an additional freight main increasing capacity at this choke point between passenger and freight trains. This negative frame is from the very last roll of Agfapan 25 as the film had been discontinued once Agfa had gone out of business.

Il Palazzo Estense di Varese fu una residenza di Francesco III d'Este, Duca di Modena e Reggio, amministratore, capitano generale e poi governatore della Lombardia austriaca. Il 20 settembre 1755 il duca venne per la prima volta a Varese con il suo seguito, ospite del marchese Menafoglio; durante questo soggiorno maturò forse la decisione di scegliere Varese per costruire il suo palazzo estivo.
Successivamente, il 23 giugno 1765, riuscì ad ottenere Varese come feudo non trasmissibile dall'imperatrice Maria Teresa d'Austria. Nel parco, modellato a somiglianza di quello del palazzo imperiale di Schönbrunn, si fondono i caratteri del giardino romantico con quello alla francese, ricco di parterres. Protagonista centrale è un ninfeo, posto su un'altura, costituito da tre nicchie rivestite da concrezioni in tufo e statue. Per soddisfare la passione del Duca per la caccia, si adattò una parte del parco a roccolo con querce, olmi e castagni. Le numerose conifere, il magnifico cedro del Libano, alcune magnolie, camelie e tuje furono poste nell'Ottocento su intervento del Robbioni ed eredi.
Sul confine con la proprietà, in continuità con i giardini di palazzo estense, si erge Villa Mirabello, edificata nel corso del XVIII secolo dal Conte Gaetano Stampa di Soncino, nel luogo dov'era stato eretto dal duca il teatrino all'aperto.

This is a very rare shell found only in Masirah Island where I work. I want to share this with you guys. Our good friend Colin Kirtley found this recently, lent me to capture for Flickr.
Acteon eloiseae
Order: CEPHALASPIDEA
Superfamily: ACTEONOIDEA
Family: Acteonidae
DISTRIBUTION
Founder Dr D. Bosch and his wife Eloise after whom the species is named. Shell 32mm in length. Masirah Island, Oman, Arabian Sea
Acteon eloiseae is known only from Masirah Island. The largest shell known is 38mm long. Nothing is known of its anatomy so a generic placement is not possible but as Abbott suggests it closely resembles species of the genus Maxacteon and in particular Maxacteon flammea. It is often misspelt A. eloisae.
Unfortunately in 1993, the breeding area of the shells had been witnessed being "hoovered" and a very large quantity of the "eloise" had been removed live. Additionally the indigenous population had cottoned on to the fact that people desired this shell, and they started indiscriminately removing live shells also to try and sell.

CSX's former Louisville & Nashville LCL Subdivision between Louisville, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio has some iconic and scenic locations, such as the Street Running in La Grange and Bridge 40 over Banklick Creek near Independence.
Another spot that has become well known in recent years is this view from Eagle Tunnel Road on the north side of Glencoe, Kentucky. A tunnel existed here behind the camera in the cut below until it collapsed on a train in 2005, at which time CSX spent the time and money to daylight the tunnel. Now known as Eagle Cut, the location is now a favorite among many photographers in the area, and this train in particular, the L411 Worthville Turn (better known as J767 until recent CSX symbol changes), is usually a prime target, as it typically has older EMD power.
In this scene, we see CSXT 8839, an SD40-2 of Conrail heritage, leading the charge on the point of L411 as it makes its way north through the rolling hills of the Bluegrass State, approaching Eagle Cut, heading towards Queensgate Yard in Cincinnati on a beautiful summer morning.
