The very first photo stop of my three weeks off was here. If I'd still be living where I grew up I hadn't even left the Landkreis (administrative district).
These tram coaches were, well, kind of parked right there. It's not really a lost place as people walk there dogs right there and there's also a train station. It's just that a tram does not belong there.
There are some more pictures in my stream but I decided against putting them all in the comment box.
As I won't be posting anything tomorrow I though you could handle a kind of excessive post. :o)
i took an old, big, grey shirt and did my first step into this new created room. and suddenly i walked into another world. running, standing, dancing, laying in the water. it was my kingdom. my heart was filled with joy.
and in the end i was so calm and still. was just sitting there enjoying the silent mood.
that's why i take self-portraits. its such a great way to understand yourself. to calm yourself. to make yourself feel better. to make yourself feel.
and it felt so good. and after all i love this image. it is always able to bring back these feelings.

num poço de folhas
Espero escrever neste poço de folhas com as mãos
entre as árvores,
tudo vem devagar em labirintos negros
ou em sequências de uma confusa caligrafia branca.
Amo este esconderijo suave e as paisagens fatigadas.
Eis que o texto principia com lábios, dentes, língua
e rumor das vespas no seu sono esguio.
O que oscila na obscuridade é o meu árido alimento.
As minhas frases têm aroma da água
e o calor de uma chama silenciosa.
Dentro da face incerta aprendo as pétalas solares
e entre as sombras claras sou chão amarelo, sou o
vinho e a pedra,
sou a língua da árvore.

in a well of leaves
I wait to write in this well of leaves with hands
between trees,
everything comes slowly in black labyrinths
or sequences of a confused white calligraphy.
I love this soft hiding place and the tireness of landscapes.
Here it is when the text begins with lips, teeth, tongue
and with sound of the wasps in its gracile sleep.
What it oscillates in the blackness is my barren food.
My phrases have a scent of water and heat of a quiet flame.
Inside of an uncertain face I learn the solar petals
and between the clear shades I am yellow soil, I am
wine and rock,
I am the tongue of tree.

Wells is a small mining and tourist town in the Cariboo region of BC. It is located on BC Hwy 26, 74km east of Quesnel and 8km before the highway's terminus at Barkerville. Gold is mined nearby. There are many recreational activities as well, including mountain biking, canoeing, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing.
Phew, all that hunting sure takes it out of this bunneh.

Serving the popular tourist suburb of Arashiyama in western Kyoto is the Hankyu Railway's Arashiyama Line. This short local line connects Katsura Station with the namesake city and is served by these 1970's era 6000 Series EMU's every 10 minutes. Another aspect of this line that is noticeable is not just how well maintained and clean their trains are, but their lineside infrastructure as well. Silver riveted catenary gantries and silver signals with finials; how retro!
The "Handsome Railway" living up to its name, that's for sure.

Henry enjoys it to have a complete sofa for his own.
Just a cellphone shot because I had to be fast :)

Wells Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in Wells, Somerset, England, dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle and seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, whose cathedral it holds as mother church of the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Built in 1176–1450 to replace an earlier church on the site since 705, it is moderately sized for an English cathedral. Its broad west front and large central tower are dominant features. It has been called "unquestionably one of the most beautiful" and "most poetic" of English cathedrals
“A well-deserved break between two wild ideas... 💭
The marble can wait, the lights too. 💡
Right now, it's just me, the couch ️,
and that delicious urge to feel the world slow down. 😌
My body stretches, my mind wanders... maybe to you. 👀
What if inspiration came from a glance 😏,
a shiver , a hand resting just right…? ✋🔥”
People pay a lot of money to have furniture painted to look well worn and chipping like this fence was. But this one was au natural. It stands out in this town of well kept fences and lawns.
Happy Fence friday everyone. :-)))))
One of the many waterfalls in Valle Maggia which I discovered on my trip to lovely Ticino last week. The weather was hot and it was quite a long walk to this hidden side valley. Guess what I did first when I arrived there...:-)

a Spotted Sandpiper seen out at 2 Mile Landing, Wildwood, N.J.
Between the nasty storms and now this heat, getting out and walking the beaches and nature trails down here hasn't been an option, but I figured I could maybe do a little "drive by" picture taking.
After going to get my hair cut yesterday, I decided to cruise out to 2 Mile Landing to see if there were any birds there worth photographing.
I was happy to find a few models poking around in the mudflats and marsh close up to the restaurant driveway, I could photograph from the comfort of my air conditioned car.
This heatwave is no joke!
Stay cool and hydrated this weekend my friends!
Florida Softshell Turtle (Apalone ferox)

She was briskly-walking up on a land-bridge, traveling between two bodies of water. She's fairly large (approx. 2 Ft x 1 Ft x 10 inches tall), although I have seen them just a bit larger. She seemed to have 'two-lives' on this beautiful bright day; one life 'in the water' and another 'on-land'. She wasn't afraid and seemed happy. I got right down on her (eye) level on the ground about 10-feet in front of her to get this angle. She just kept walking right at me. LOL I eventually had to get out of the/her way! LOL She stopped at the dirt-path to
look-me-over, and continued on her way down the far-slope and
into her 'Water-World'. And then she was gone! Thanks for looking.
Contact Kurt says of the Softshell Turtle on one of his posts:

This is the culmination of well over a year’s worth of work: I think I started this project a little after the UCS Republic Gunship was released. So it feels good to finally have this finished and show it off!
I strived to make an accurate, studless version of the ship which incorporated some of the discoloured panels like the UCS version. I used the reference material collected from Star Wars Episode 2, 3 and Battlefront II.
Over the course of this project, a few outstanding Gunships emerged in the LEGO Star Wars community, which was both inspiring and slightly disheartening as they set the bar for MOCs of this vehicle incredibly high! Bousker made an excellent Clone Wars version and you may see some similarities between mine and Jhae's. Though we came to the solution of using the grated cheese slopes independently, his design helped inform some of the internal structure and the bed of the troop compartment.
I also looked to atlasr's version for inspiration, which while digital and at a slightly larger scale than I was aiming for, is perhaps the most accurate LEGO version I’ve ever seen.
Massive thanks to all the dudes for their inspiration, encouragement, feedback, and numerous ideas which I stole, you know who you are!
An early morning departure from Orleans, VT gave us the ability to get sun on the east side of the tracks as Passenger Extra 206 South, the "Autumn Explorer" AAPRCO trip passes the wye with the (abandoned) B&M Berlin branch at Wells River, VT. The log cabin style home sits on the site of the passenger depot, which was lost to a fire.
After shooting POAY at Pine Point Rd we headed 20 miles south for our next shot. But after a little time and a check of the timetable we calculated that he must have gone in the hole at Saco (CPF 211) for Amtrak to run around.
And sure enough our supposition was confirmed as Boston bound Downeaster train 694 came into view here on the former Boston and Maine Portland Division rolling down Main 1 at modern day MP 226 (measured from Mattawamkeag, ME). For whatever reason this train didn't have the normal ex F40 NPCU in the lead and instead had this grungy quarter century old P42DC doing the honors, with a sister P42 on the east end trailing the standard five car Amfleet consist.
At right is the wood frame Wells Beach depot built in 1906 that resembles a home in its styling. I've not been able to find much info about this station whose design is seemingly unique among B&M depots. What I could find is that after 53 years of railroad use it was sold in February 1959 to Fuelane Corp. some five years before the last passenger train passed on its way from Portland, and it has remained in private hands since.
After 36 years passenger trains returned to these rails when Amtrak's Downeaster service commenced. But those trains don't stop here, instead calling at a modern intermodal transportation center behind me one mile to the west right off of Interstate 95.

Sunday morning, very early. I decided to catch the sunrise this morning in the “Loonse en Drunense Duinen”. This is a 14 square mile national park situated in the south of the Netherlands, between the cities of Tilburg, Waalwijk & 's-Hertogenbosch.
And somehow… standing there… it gave me this “Indiana-Jones-in-the-map-room-feeling”: in the movie “Raiders of the Los Ark” the Map Room is a miniature model of the city of Tanis and shows the possessor of the Staff of Ra, with its crystal headpiece, where the Well of Souls is located. It is shown when the sunlight hits the headpiece's crystal centre at 9 AM sharp, shining a beam of intensive light upon the model of the city, pointing to the Well of Souls, and at the same time filling the entire room with a bright light.
Well, I was there a little earlier than 9 AM and I did not have a Staff of Ra, but the effect was the same. The sands and heather were my Tanis map room and the low hanging haze served perfectly as the headpiece’s crystal. I only had to wait for the sun, touching the haze at that particular moment, breaking the light and filling the entire area with this amazing orange light. It did not show the location of the Well of Souls, but it did show a place to return to. Soon. Definitely!
