After waiting quite a while to get into Oakwood, CP T28 returns back east past the in process restoration of the former Michigan Central Depot and prepares to enter the WIndsor Tunnel with a decent size train lead by one of the fresh beaver SD60s.
With a few barns being pulled out of storage recently, and with the prospect of the Canadian border opening back up in a few weeks, my chance for some more barn photos are coming soon. In the meantime, this oldie from a few years ago before PTC ruined them in the States, this L505 with the appropriate clean leader leans into a sharp curve west of Durand as they hustle along.
Back from another trip to Jakarta. Love that place and the people there. Looking forward to catching up with you and hope you have been well.
This stone cottage was originally an assistant lighthouse keeper's home. Geometry is the key to my composition, and by now I am sure I see unconsciously every scene with a grid.
I had to get back on track and get some processing done for myself for a change so hammering out 11 brackets OOB style did the trick for me. Now I need to get out shooting!
I will be catching up on everyone's streams and blogs as well
This looks much better large on the blog
Thanks for looking!

(Yellow-backed Oriole / Turpial Montañero)
The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.
The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.

Have a great Day.
As I review the photos from our Utah trip, I keep going back to the Bryce Canyon National Park. This was a photo from our first day there, April 21, 2023. My eyes kept getting drawn to those areas beyond the Silent City, or Bryce Amphitheater. The object here was what I thought might be a dry water reservoir and/or some part of the Aquarias Plateau.
Had an amazing day at Ian Howells Wildlife Photography hide, his set up is first class and the birds visiting are spectacular, the highlight of course was this Goshawk, seen here interacting with a squirrel! The squirrel was looking for a fight but clearly no match and backed off! More photos of the coming days and take a look at my small video on Youtube youtu.be/_vpLNWLF09o
Now I'm back from my short trips to Bavaria and then to my bro, who lives in the Breisgau...
Will catch up next!
Die Viermastbark Peking wieder zu Hause im Hamburger Hafen: Flying P-Liner oder kurz P-Liner nannten Seeleute in der Zeit der Windjammer hochachtungsvoll die Segelschiffe der Hamburger Reederei F. Laeisz. 66 der 86 Segelschiffe, die sich im Besitz der Reederei F. Laeisz befanden, trugen Namen mit dem Anfangsbuchstaben „P“. Dies ist auf eine kleine Bark, die im Jahre 1856 für die Reederei bei H.C. Stülcken gebaut wurde, zurück zu führen. Die Bark wurde nämlich PUDEL getauft – nach dem Spitznamen der Reedersgattin Sophie Laeisz. Heute gibt es nur noch vier erhaltene Flying P-Liner – die POMMERN, die PASSAT, die PADUA und die PEKING. Die PADUA wird immer noch als Segelschulschiff genutzt, während die POMMERN und die PASSAT als Museumschiff in Mariehamn (Finnland) und in Travemünde fest vor Anker liegen. Die PEKING ist aus New York nach Deutschland zurückgekommen und wird nun Museumsschiff in ihrer Heimatstadt Hamburg.
The four-mast boat Peking back home in the harbor of Hamburg: Flying P-Liner or P-Liner for short, sailors in the time of the Windjammer highly named the sailing ships of the Hamburg shipping company F. Laeisz. 66 of the 86 sailing ships owned by the shipowner F. Laeisz bore names with the initial letter "P". This can be traced back to a small bark built in 1856 for the shipping company at H. C. Stülcken. The bark was baptized PUDEL – after the nickname of the shipowner’s wife Sophie Laeisz. Today there are only four surviving Flying P-Liner – the POMMERN, the PASSAT, the PADUA and the PEKING. The PADUA is still used as a sailing school ship, while the POMMERN and the PASSAT are used as a museum ship in Mariehamn (Finland) and Travemünde (Germany) . The PEKING has returned from New York to Germany and is now a museum ship in its hometown of Hamburg.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
This late sunset at about 8:30 p.m. bounced onto the eastern clouds surprised me and brought me joy.
No increased saturation. Only had time to take the D810 and 105mm f/2.8 prime outside to capture that light on the trees.
Many thanks for looking! Please, no advice. There are many who take skilled landscape shots. I am not one of them ;)
