After spotting 6 loads of Corona at Manhattan Beer, NS H-55 makes their way back west on the Suffern Industrial with the empties past an old quarry stone crusher along the Right of Way outside of Suffern, NY.
One of my flickr friends suggested to go back in your files and post a picture you took years ago but it has to be on the same day.
So today is the 22 of January. This pic I post was taken down in our harbor on January 22, 2015.
This is a fun project.
Was another chance at a pretty sunset this cold evening so headed down to my sister's house along Middle River. With temperatures below freezing, by the time I finished taking photos for around 15 minutes, my hands were quite cold ... but it was worth it.
While this sunset was not as 'epic' as the sunset on December 7th, it was still very pretty. This capture was taken as the sunset ended, I took this before heading back inside to visit with my sister for a few minutes. Had to warm my frozen hands up petting her dogs who were very excited to see me there as well ;)
A fresh Happy Bench Monday captured this evening.
Common Brushtail Possum (Trichosurus vulpecula)
I think this is the same Mama Possum that spent some time in our Pittosporum Tree a few times earlier this year. She stayed in this spot for about 6 hours this morning.

Some lovely pinks looking across the Cloughs to Swine's Back a couple of weeks ago.

Red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) female perched on a tree.
Samica gąsiorka (Lanius collurio) siedząca na drzewie.
Male.
Species: Lanius collurio.
Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.
Red-backed shrikes are slightly larger, but slimmer, than house sparrows. The male is unmistakable with a bluish-grey head, black mask, bright chestnut back and thick hooked black bill. Shrikes like to perch prominently on the tops of bushes, fence posts and telephone wires, where they have a good view of potential prey. Items caught are then taken to a larder where they are impaled on a thorn or wedged in a fork.
Its dramatic decline to virtual extinction as a UK breeding species make this a Red List bird. It is also listed as a Schedule 1 species under The Wildlife and Countryside Act. Info: RSPB.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
I'm back in Ottawa and there's still lots of snow. This was taken on February 28th on film. Kodak Gold 200 on a Minolta XG-1.
Common Brushtail Possum (Trichosurus vulpecula)
I am not sure if this is the Mum or her child back in our Pittosporum Tree today. I last saw the baby on Mum's back in February this year.
One day old back alleys like this will be part of history. How many of us have not paid attention to places like this and then think in future years when it's too late that we have no record of where we grew up.
Częstochowa lies in Southern Poland and is a very important city in regrds to Polish history, thanks to Jasna Góra, a monastery located in the city. During the Swedish invasion of Poland in the mid-17th century, the crew, consisting of 160 people, managed to defend the monastery against a horde of some 4000 Swedes. This event lead to a huge uprising among the Polish people and is now recognised as the start of the Polish national identity. To this day, the monastery is visited by milions of pilgrims each year.
The Polish railfan community also has its own reason to visit the city - thanks to its steelworks and an extensive network of sidings. A little curiosity here are the locomotives of the 6De class, which are in reality modernised SM42 locomotives, which have had their V8 engine replaced with two smaller V12 engines from the 401Da class. Apart from the 6De, it's also possible to stumble upon the first three prototypes of the 6Dg class, which has since then overtaken Poland and been produced in numbers above 200.
6De-2637 is one of the two still working 6De locomotives and it was photographed by me on the 18th of February, as it was returning from the pickup point "PZ" back to the steelworks (located to the left of the frame - the buildings in the middle are glassworks). Not even a month has passed since the reopening of the steelworks, as this picture was being taken. The electric arch furnace has been off from 2022 up until 20.02.2025, when the steelworks' new owner - Węglokoks - resumed production. You can read more about the very complicated histtory of the steelworks in this post flic.kr/p/2qhQbv3

White-backed vulture showing off its impressive wingspan.
The fact that this species is critically endangered already makes me count my blessings that I got the opportunity to observe and photograph it. The wing spread is just icing on the cake.
The behaviour being shown here is your typical thermoregulation. This was shot very early in the morning, when temperatures were still relatively low. Even vultures understand that as you increase your surface area, you’re able to absorb more energy (controlling body temperature and aiding the digestive process as a result).
At the end of the three day 4WD tour that goes across the Salar de Uyuni, then up volcanic valleys with flamingo lakes, you end up at the Chile border. From there it's a one hour bus to San Pedro de Atacama.
I decided not to go on to Chile, but do the seven or so hours back to Uyuni, so see a lot of it all again...

A spectacular sunrise on Derwent Edge this morning. For a moment or two anyway.
Le parc Frédéric-Back (situé dans le Complexe environnemental de Saint-Michel) est un grand parc multi-fonctionnel à Montréal situé dans l'arrondissement de Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, au Québec. D'une superficie actuelle de 48 hectares, il est appelé à devenir d'ici quelques années l'un des plus grands parcs urbains de la Ville de Montréal.
It was a pleasant surprise to see #7764, a GE C40-8 loco, which was in storage all these days at Waycross, GA, back in action. It was on Y123, a local from Charleston to Cosgrove Yard, and here it is seen on its way back at N. Charleston.
Narrowest back road I've seen in quite some time.
Western Wisconsin.
A bit of painterly to hide some defects.
Another large Italian 6 day tour. Eventful to say the least.

This is one of Melbourne's many back alleyways, it runs behind George's Bar at 120, Johnston Street, Fitzroy.
It was 6:30 am on a Saturday morning, when these three 'patrons' of the Bar came outside 'to join me' and enjoy a smoko.
Back home from my short holiday in Genova, Italy.
