Apparently it was National Puppy Day yesterday. Here's a working dog feeling completely fulfilled, our border collie Donnan watching over newborn baby goat Luna.
It's amazing to see how he frequently instinctively assumes a herding/watchdog role.
Luna was born shortly before a lunar eclipse, and was mostly white, so was named after the moon.

I appreciate your visit's a lot. Thank you for taking the time to look at my pictures! :-)

From the top garden at Quarry Bank Mill, Styal. A lovely meeting with delightful friends from Northampton that I met on Flickr many years ago.

Santa Fe's longest branch line, the San Angelo Subdivision, ran 386 miles across desolate West Texas from San Angelo Junction (west of Brownwood on the Texas main line) to Presidio, Texas, on the Mexican border.
In October 1968, it took me three days of engine and caboose riding to make the trip from Brownwood to Presidio. The first day got me from Brownwood to San Angelo, 71 miles, mostly at night; the second day had me riding a trailing F-unit from San Angelo to Fort Stockton, 167 miles, on train 129; and the third day was a caboose ride from Fort Stockton to Presidio, 145 miles. Yes, it was a long trip. The last segment, from Fort Stockton to Presidio, was mainly at night.
We arrived at the border station just after sun up. The crew went on their rest. I wandered around the area all-day, going to Ojinaga on the Mexican side to photograph the Chihuahua Pacific Railroad (Ch-P), one of my all-time favorite railroads.
Late in the afternoon, the crew went on duty and did some switching and shoved a long cut of cars down to the International bridge to transfer to the Ch-P. In this scene at sunset, October 18, 1968, the units (a GP7 and two GP7Bs) and caboose pause in front of the station while the crew gets their orders to head back to Fort Stockton. It will be another all-night caboose trip, but I will get off at Alpine, Texas, in the wee hours and get a motel room. The following day, I will catch SP's SUNSET LIMITED to El Paso, another Santa Fe freight to Belen, New Mexico, and more freights back to my home in Topeka, Kansas.
The San Angelo Subdivision was once the main line of the KCM&O, a segment in Arthur Stilwell's dream to build a railroad from Kansas City to the Gulf of California, a shorter distance to the Pacific than Kansas City to California ports. Santa Fe acquired the KCM&O in 1928, but it never developed as a through route as planned.
The Subdivision was sold in 1998, and there are still attempts to establish through service.
The depot, shown in this image, was destroyed by fire a few years later.

Having walked out to this location on the ECML at Marshall Meadows, i wanted to do something with the sign. the area is very cluttered, and the sign on the coast side is missing one half, so this was the only angle I could use. I took a photo of the sign and then layered over the Azuma and flipped the other.
This is the Zhangmu border crossing with the bridge spanning the Sun Kosi river. The right side is Tibet & the left side is Nepal.To the right is the start of the "Friendship Highway " leading to Lhasa, capital of Tibet. The left road leads to Kathmandu & was the direction we were travelling. To get here we had to drive along a long section of road, in a narrow gorge, that was still being built . We had to wait a few hours for our allotted time to travel,(as the road was only wide enough for one direction of travel at a time) but even so we were held up again for several hours while the Chinese " coolies" were blasting away much rock using dynamite. It was quite exciting as we drove past the huge rock piles in the road , still being cleared & with a vertiginous drop down to the river, a long way below. It was quite some relief when we eventually reached the border town of Zhangmu, driving in total darkness, but still in one piece !!!
Due to the Nepal earthquake in April 2015 this route was closed for over two years .Now clear, it is an adventure journey ,which I can recommend.
Caught on a thistle flower. I don't think I've seen these before, but they're all over the place in the Fredericksburg TX area now...very pretty...
Im Bahnhof von Probstzella (Thüringen) an der Frankenwaldbahn fanden bis 1989 die strengen DDR-Grenzkontrollen statt. Betroffen waren vor allem jene Züge, die Fahrgäste von und nach Städten in der DDR beförderten. Bei den Interzonenzügen von München und Stuttgart nach Barlin fanden die Kontrollen im Zug statt.
Until 1989, strict GDR border controls were carried out at Probstzella station (Thuringia) on the Frankenwaldbahn railway line. This mainly affected trains carrying passengers to and from cities in the GDR. On interzone trains from Munich and Stuttgart to Berlin, the controls were carried out on the train itself.
I am very grateful to all friends and visitors who see and like my photos.
Special thanks go to those who invite this shot into their groups. ^_^

Die sogenannte "Pferdelok" von TXLogistik bespannte am 09. Oktober 2024 den KLV-Zug DGS 43155 von Köln Eifeltor nach Verona Q.E. bis Kufstein. An der von mir gerne aufgesuchten Stelle bei Brannenburg sind es nur noch wenige Kilometer bis zur österreichischen Grenze und das Zwischenziel des Zuges ist bald erreicht. Dort wurde dann auf zwei Mehrsystem-Loks umgespannt, um die Fahrt über den Brennerpass zu bewältigen.
The so-called ‘horse locomotive’ from TXLogistik hauled the intermodal train DGS 43155 from Cologne Eifeltor to Verona Q.E. to Kufstein on 9 October 2024. At the spot near Brannenburg, which I like to visit, it is only a few kilometres to the Austrian border and the train's intermediate destination is soon reached. There, the train was transferred to two multi-system locomotives to master the drive over the Brenner Pass.
