Canadian National local train No. 513 passes a mountain lake at Henry House, Alberta, at 8:29 p.m. on July 11, 2014. The Hinton to Jasper (and return) local is powered by vintage pair of aging GMD’s—SD40-2W No. 5246 and SD40u No. 6011 —battle-worn, but still hauling plenty of tonnage on CN’s main line through scenic Jasper National Park.
A shed by the ocean. A little battered by the elements and time but still standing! I know it doesn't look pretty to most but I think it has beauty in it own 'life well lived' kind of way.
Hope you are all living well and having a great Wednesday!
Ok, it's not what you think...
Ok... it is actually what you are thinking! 😅
We were spending the afternoon at home chit-chatting about nonsense as usual and listening to very good music when Adam's belly growled, unhappy bear style, I mean, it literally screamed and scared me. We didn't see the time pass, the man was HUNGRY! And I knew the minutes were counted before hungry turned into hangry...
So I jumped on the phone, dialed the delivery place and started to happily order when my gaze met his and he was shaking his hands, trying to gesture something...
it was either " more more more, and a burger, a very big one" or he was attempting to mimic that very strange dance that he does when he has 5 Rums in his system...
God knows!
So I listened to the man and ordered us a freaking feast!
All was good, the mood uplifted until, while putting it all on the table, we realized there was only one portion of french fries and not two...
Then the chaos started and all I could remember was this crazy one screaming at the top of his lungs :
" DON'T TOUCH MY FOOD WOMAN! "
I don't recall it all after that, I just know that he got the fries and didn't share them at all, not even one... 😭
----
This is another crazy collab with Adam
I prepared the scene, poses, and shot it and he edited the picture as flawlessly as usual!
Thank you so much for this my dear ✨
...don't mess with...

Last week we had some nice low fog in the fields near my house. I shoot this early one morning as the sun was coming up. Hope you all had a great weekend. We have had company here for a couple weeks now and hopefully things will return to a more normal schedule soon!! If you look really hard in the distance you can see Mount Hood.
Cheers

Another shot from Friday and the battle between the Kestrel and the Shorty. This was just before the Kestrel stole the vole.
I've battled demons that won't let me sleep. Called to the sea but she abandoned me. I won't let you get me down. I'll keep gettin' up when I hit the ground. Oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no,
No, I won't ever give up.
My fate is for me to decide demons be damned. You can't keep me down, I will get back up and come back stronger.

New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)
It is that time of the year when the Honeyeaters and Wattlebirds are vying for nesting locations in our garden. This one was watching the battle for one particular spot from the line that brings the power into our house.
Within the old Lodgings building this wall spoke to me - the different colours, shapes, the chips and marks on each stone, and within a wall that's over 500 years old.

Blue Ridge Southern T31 winds upgrade nearing Canton, North Carolina in notch eight with a heavy train in tow.
In the early years of the war, Russian Ladybug tanks were fast and light, a little too light it turned out. Once the Battle for the Moon shifted from small tank skirmishes to full scale mecha battles, thinly armoured vehicles like this didn't stand much chance in the open, airless battlefield.
Shot at Van Vihar National Park, Bhopal. Territorial battle between Golden Eagle and Wooly Necked Stork.
When I went to the place, I heard loud bird calls from Coromonts on a tree. I realised a huge Golden Eagle was sitting on the tree. I thought it was there to hunt. So I waited some time for it to catch a meal and maybe I will get a shot. Turns out there was a stork that was stalking the eagle as it jumped from branch to branch.
It was Storks area and eagle was trying to take over. I waited for few hours as eagle took its time to make a move. It happens in bursts and neither of the two are in hurry to attack as it can be fatal.
Unfortunately action when started happened at some distance and so none of the shots in sequence turned out to be sharp.
So I thought it would be a candidate for my worst shot of the year Flickr group.
This is the first time I've had the pleasure of witnessing Fallow bucks in combat. It was a real treat too.
Every loaded train from the pit at Sandaoling faces an uphill battle against grades greater than 2%. The JS-class locomotives in charge of this task are rated at around 2000hp and were built between 1981 and 1987, needless to say the battle is quite real.
Sandaoling China
The tallest man-made building in the State of Vermont commemorates the Battle of Bennington, a pivotal victory for American forces on the New England front of the American Revolution. The Bennington Battle Monument is 306 feet 4 and 1/2 inches tall and was completed and dedicated in 1891. It is constructed from blue-grey magnesium limestone.

After a monumental screw up that could have been easily prevented a week earlier, another opportunity presented itself on the shot. After waiting in town for three and a half hours, a short Y102 returns back north with only a couple cars through Holly, MI past the very charming Battle Alley.
Pride leaders pay a heavy price for their position as is evident from this battle-scarred warrior. I watched an older lion, too weak to join the food fest after a kill, still play a dominant role when it came time to bring down a big bull buffalo. It still went out to challenge another younger and stronger looking male encroaching on the pride’s turf. The photographer part of me wanted to photograph a fight but my tender side wanted the pride leader to live to fight another day. There’s nothing like lions to bring out emotions.
