A pair of units on display at the Yass Railway Museum ( railway.yass.com.au/index.htm ).
(1 of 2) Diesel Rail Tractor X203 - An unusual engine designed and built at the Railways Water Supply Workshops, Chullora between 1963/6666. The X200 class utilized surplus steam engine components including wheel sets from the giant 60 class Garrats. Intended primarily to be used as shunters in depots the main exception was X202 which from 1964 to 1972 was the Yass Tramways sole locomotive. X203 was purchased by the ARHS(ACT) and is on loan to the Yass Railway Museum.
(2 of 2) 1307 CC-79/Z13 Class Locomotive - Built in 1877 by Beyer Peacock (Builders number 1637) originally as a 4-4-0
configuration, this engine entered service with the NSWGR in September the same year as an Express Passenger Tender, road number 92. Remaining in this guise until 1894, when, due to a shortage of Suburban Tank Engines it was decided to trial a conversion of one of the C-79 class engines to a 4-4-2 side tank configuration. In 1999 it was decided to place 1307 at Yass for use as a static display. Total time in active service was a very impressive 94 years and 9 months with the engine having travelled 1,383,190 miles (2,213,107 kilometres).

Balancing Act - This backyard Bobcat may not be wearing Air Jordans, but he's certainly got hops like a prime MJ!
Bobcats have longer hind legs than front legs and it's amazing how much jumping power they can generate from a standstill.
Recently, I've enjoyed capturing images of wildlife in urban settings. I think there's great value to showing how wildlife navigates the built environment and showcasing their importance to urban ecosystems.
Species: Bobcat (Lynx rufus)
Location: California, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R3 + RF 100-500mm IS
Settings: 1/800s, ISO: 10000, f/7.1 @500mm, Handheld, Electronic Shutter

Op deze zonnige zondag passeert de ACTS 1251 + 6705 (in opzending) met een volledig beladen container trein de houtzagerij van de firma Gebr. van Beek aan de rand van Harderwijk. De trein passeert bijna elke dag rond de klok van 3 uur, dus op deze plek een ideale zonstand voor een foto. De ACTS 1251 is de voormalige NS lok 1215. De 6705 is een diesellok uit België.
De trein is onderweg van Leeuwarden naar de Maasvlakte onder trein nr. 98249.

beneath a canopy of leaves, a figure dissolves into light and shadow — face gone, but presence unmistakable. the branches fold inward like a curtain, and what’s left is suggestion: of memory, of escape, of someone slowly becoming part of something older, quieter, and still.
it's funny. you go into shoots sometimes and parents have this whole idea of what they may want; running around frantically telling their kids to button up, change their shirt, stand up straight, stop hitting each other, start smiling, I can go on--
"act natural" is a phrase I've heard so many times and I've noticed that it's typically said when their true character has already fully unveiled itself. ofcourse the smiling photo is doable, but boys will be boys. the only thing you can do is work with their mischievous ways. throw in a few props and make a story.
Schmetterlingszeit !! :-)
Dieser Admiral balanciert von einer zur nächsten Blüte :-)
Mögen alle Sorgen oder Schmerzen so leicht weg fliegen wie ein Schmetterling. Manchmal ist Leben ein Balanceakt , aber wir schaffen das :-)
Butterfly time !! :-)
This Red Admiral balances from one to the next blossom :-)
May all your worry or pains fly away so easily like a butterfly. Sometimes life is a balancing act, but we can do that :-)

Terwijl ACTS 7105 wacht om te mogen vertrekken met twee ketelwagens, een van GATX en een van Wascosa, rijdt een fraaie Rolls Royce weg die al een tijd geparkeerd stond achter me. Gelukkig vond de bestuurder een ruime keercirkel noodzakelijk :-)
Little by little, the strong sun [when it shines] is taking bites out of the snowpack. I liked these fretted ice pinnacles along the edge of the road.
On a misty spring morning in 1804, John James Audubon crouched beneath a sycamore in rural Pennsylvania, his eyes fixed on a flighty eastern phoebe. Its tail flicked as it darted from a low perch, snagging a beetle mid-flight. Audubon, then a young naturalist with a wild mop of hair and a sketchbook tucked under his arm, had an idea—something no one had tried.
With a thin thread of silk from his wife Lucy’s sewing kit, he gently captured the bird, tying a delicate silver band around its leg. “A marker,” he murmured, “to know you again.” Released, the phoebe fluttered off, its sharp “fee-bee” call ringing through the woods.
As the following spring came to life, Audubon spotted that same thread on a returning phoebe, he grinned—proof of its journey. That simple act, born of curiosity and patience, sparked a legacy of bird banding, forever tying Audubon's name to ornithology.
Op verzoek van de gemeente Groningen herstart VAM in 1998 het vervoer van huisvuil per trein. Direct na de opening van de aansluiting in september 1998 start ACTS een dagelijkse afvaldienst naar Wijster. Vervoerd wordt GFT-afval, grof huishoudelijk afval en RDF, een restproduct van de vergistingsinstallatie die biogas produceert.
Vanaf 2001 wordt het RDF middels een wekelijkse rijdende afvaltrein naar Schwarze Pumpe in Spreewitz afgevoerd. Twee jaar later komt er tweemaal per week een RDF-trein bij naar Bremen. De trein naar Spreewitz vervalt herhaaldelijk, die naar naar Bremen stopt in het voorjaar van 2009. In de loop van 2010 wordt het vuilvervoer bij Vagron geheel gestopt.
In 2008 werden naast de Vagron-containers beladen met RDF naar Bremen ook containers meegenomen vanuit Veendam. De containerdraagwagens en afvalwagens werden in Onnen gecombineerd en vanaf daar tweemaal per week via de grensovergang bij Nieuweschans afgevoerd naar Leer en Bremen.
Op 6 juni 2008 is ACTS-loc 7107 na de kruising met Arriva uit Leer vertrokken met trein 47728 richting Leer en passeert hier de brug over de Westerwoldsche Aa. Rechts is een deel van de Oude Remise, een voormalige locomotiefloods van de Staatsspoorwegen, uit 1876 te zien. In 1996 werd het gebouw opgenomen in een reeks van industriële monumenten in de provincie Groningen. De Oude Remise herbergt ondermeer een koffieschenkerij, de Stichting Bruisend Bad Nieuweschans, een toeristisch informatiepunt, een kunstencentrum en museum De Graanrepubliek gevestigd.
'Disappearing Act'
4/365
This morning instead of a thunderstorm, it was a very billowy fog that was brushing up against the windows. Even though it was just beginning to be light, I tumbled out of bed and ran around the house trying to find my snuggly parka and tripod and remote. Then I made a quick dash out the back and tried to play it casual for the passing cars as I ran along the road a little ways to the big field where the fog was sitting in clouds on the ground.
The ground was covered in silvery frost and the moon was still hanging over the mountain. Through the fog it looked very beautifully ghostly and soft.
These are my most favorite times in all of my life; little solitary moments when the world transforms back into fairyland again and I can disappear into it for even just a short while

Sunrise in Cades Cove at Sparks Lane on October 16, 2016. Heavy cloud cover to the North South and West erupted in color at sunrise because of clear skies to the east. This is the opening act of color that morning...best sunrise I have seen in a while, without a doubt the best I have seen in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Watching it build was a special treat.

This huge boulder near the Mahabalipuram temples is popularly known as Krishna’s butter ball. It rests precariously on a narrow rock base. Legend has it that several Pallava Kings attempted to move it, but all the kings and their elephants could not shift the boulder even by an inch.
I captured this on 29th Dec, just a day prior to the cyclone Thane hit Pondicherry and Tamilnadu coast. It was raining when I visited the place.
