Mount Washington Cog Railway, New Hampshire
The railway is still in operation, climbing Mount Washington in New Hampshire, USA. It is the second steepest rack railway in the world with an average grade of over 25% and a maximum grade of 37.41%. The railway is approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long and ascends Mt. Washington's western slope beginning at an elevation of approximately 2,700 feet (820 m) above sea level and ending just short of the mountain's summit peak of 6,288 feet (1,917 m). The train ascends the mountain at 2.8 miles per hour (4.5 km/h) and descends at 4.6 mph (7.4 km/h). It takes approximately 65 minutes to ascend and 40 minutes to descend.

Old log cabin
Scotch Creek, B.C.
A couple of days ago, I posted a colour photo of this cabin from a slightly different angle which didn't show the piles of broken boards and timbers. I liked this shot too for how it showed the mountains and the long shadows across the grass. I decided to go with monochrome for this one to emphasize shadows and the sense of decay.
Couldn't resist a trip out for this one. There was an inkling on the EM Rail Gen group around 15:00 where an 0Z20 Worksop to Kellingley Colliery was noted as a train 'of possible interest', especially with Worksop being the home to Harry Needles class 20s. 20901 and 20118 were noted heading north around 16:00 and I debated whether to leave work early and catch the pair around Kellingley, but instead opted to capture them at a location I've not visited for around two years, partly due to lockdown.
The return 6Z20 17:52 Kellingley Colliery to Chaddesden with a rake of box wagons which had been brought up from Ely in April 2019.
Whilst I know 20118 has worked previously out of Tinsley about 2-3 miles up the road, I'm not sure about the leading loco who's previous guises included D8101 and 20101. It certainly seems to have started its life north of the border in Scotland.
This Green-backed Trogon was hanging around along the Discovery Trail at the Asa Wright Nature Centre in Trinidad during our trip last month. I had heard it calling as I was walking down the trail and kept trying to locate the bird but was really having a difficult time. After several minutes of searching I finally spotted it looking around in a surprisingly conspicuous perch.
We will be doing this trip again in spring of 2019, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2019-trinidad/

There's No Going Back
Song by Sick Puppies
Lyrics
I had a plan and it made God laugh
It didn't work, should've checked the math
I hit the wall 'cause I live too fast
I didn't know it could hurt that bad
I took the hope but there was none
I should've known that was so dumb
I was a dick when I was seventeen,
I thought the world brought me everything
But who am I knew I'd never be
Is everything that happens in between
There's no going back,
When life's a loaded gun, you pull the trigger, trigger
There's no going back
The past is in the past
Thank God it doesn't last forever
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
Yesterday was another life
Turning left didn't turn out right
Stuck in hell when I was twenty-five
You can't regret what you don't decide
I should have stayed, should have let go
Should've, could've means you'll never know
There's no going back
When life's a loaded gun, you pull the trigger, trigger
There's no going back
The past is in the past
Thank God it doesn't last forever
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
The future I'm living now
Is not what I'd thought it'd be
The person I was before
Is nothing like me
The future I'm living now
Is the way that I want it to be
The minute I walk through the door
I slam it behind me
There's no going back
When life's a loaded gun, you pull the trigger, trigger
There's no going back
The past is in the past
Thank God it doesn't last forever
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
Blue Ringtail Damselfly (Austrolestes annulosus) female
The first Damselfly of the season. She didn't pick the best place to perch for a photo and didn't stay long enough for me to get another image.

Some lovely pinks looking across the Cloughs to Swine's Back a couple of weeks ago.
WSOR's 351-21 job comes back from Spring Grove, IL on their Fox Lake Subdivision and enters Wisconsin, just south of Hebron, IL. An old Espee SD40 variant in Helm Dark Blue leads a handful of cars heading back for Janesville, WI.
I was literally on the way home from my T4 chase when this train was randomly rolling eastbound over Hwy. 12 in Richmond, IL just a few hours before, and was a nice way to end the day. Quite the chance encounter on a line that sees the bulk of its' activity under the cover of darkness.

A view of St Andrews in Fife from a distance. I lived and worked here for 18 years - love the place.
