To borrow a phrase from the Catholic Worker movement, laments aid in “clarification of thought.” Whether traditional or newly composed, prayers of lament articulate in precise ways how things have fallen apart. Brought before God, they enable us to see clearly what is wrong, to specify fractures in systems and relationships that destroy us, and to realize ourselves how our lives are barren.
Laments empower sufferers to speak for themselves. When we tell how desperate we are, we become actors in the world. No longer passive recipients of pain, we become agents who name and interpret reality. Slowly such speaking may alter our relationship to suffering and release energies to act. Naming suffering before God reclaims human dignity and power that has been trampled and violated. Speaking pain, perhaps repeatedly, “like a broken record,” can move sufferers toward healing, because it brings denial to a halt and enables truth to come to the surface.
-Lamentations and the Tears of the World, Kathleen M. O’Connor
In the process of being replaced, not the semaphores, but the footbridge at St Erth, My initial shot was further down the platform, but behind the hoarding the foundation for the new lifts and footbridge meant it was more important to capture the footbridge before it goes.

From my walk yesterday, a red squirrel feeding on spruce cones. Last fall he and his family collected thousands and made a large pile of cones called a midden. Then they make a borrow under the midden so it provide both insulation and a winter food supply.
However, it has it's dangers. In the fresh snow I saw some fox tracks and then near the middlen a fox sized hole down thru 4 feet of snow, I couldn't tell if the fox was successful.
The Houston PTRA is jointly owned by UP, BNSF, and KCS/CPKC (and the Port of Houston Authority). As such, the PTRA can use locomotives from any of its member roads (and prior to owning its own locomotives, the PTRA solely relied on member-supplied engines).
Here, a PTRA job is using a borrowed pair of GEVOs as it rolls eastward at Deer Park Jct on the south side of the Houston Ship Channel. The train will leave UP's Strang Sub here and take the transfer track over to the PTRA's Pasadena District.
The "Stop. Wait 28 Seconds" sign is for trains switching the customer lead. Stopping & waiting ensures sufficient activation time at the grade crossing here.

Just a little over 5 years ago, on a mid March morning a CMQ crew crosses over the Pan Am Main going to pick up their train on the interchange track. Using three borrowed GP40's they'll take the train North to Brownville Jct. for handoff to NBS. Unfortunately, the crew didn't' have good luck, by the time they reached Glenburn the 515 was dead, soon after 514 started acting up as well. When they reached John Dean Rd in Milo the crew couldn't make it any further and tied down, later that night some extra power came down and took the train the rest of the way to the Jct.

i have no idea what this is supposed to be. and that makes me like it more.
I considered making this one a black and white image, but i dont think it quite works without the reflected colours of the sunset in the flowing water and rocks.

"Pistyll Rhaeadr (Welsh pronunciation: [pɪstɪɬ r̥aeadr], meaning "spring of the waterfall") is a waterfall, located a few miles from the village of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant in Powys, Wales, twelve miles west of Oswestry.
"Pistyll Rhaeadr is formed by the Afon Disgynfa falling, in three stages, over a 240-foot (73 m) Silurian cliff-face, below which the river is known as the Afon Rhaeadr. The tallest stage is estimated at about 40 metres. It is counted as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The 19th century author George Borrow, in his book Wild Wales, remarked of the waterfall: "What shall I liken it to? I scarcely know, unless it is to an immense skein of silk agitated and disturbed by tempestuous blasts, or to the long tail of a grey courser at furious speed. I never saw water falling so gracefully, so much like thin, beautiful threads as here.
"The waterfall is often referred to by the media, government sources, and other sources as the tallest in Wales or the tallest single drop in the United Kingdom. However, it is not a single drop, and both its single drop height and its total height are surpassed by both the Devil's Appendix and Pistyll y Llyn, as well as several other waterfalls."

This detoured Union Pacific train, GSNDRK-18, has one of the last Southern Pacific painted engines still in its roster. Although the engine has been "patched" with UP markings, it has escaped the paint shop so far. That's remarkable because all SP and C&NW and SSW units were supposed to be repainted by the end of 2018. But hey, I'll take it! Here he is rushing through a noisy Ashton, Illinois just before midnight, as a thunderstorm raged behind me.
I borrowed this spider from the National Butterfly Center for my presentation on common local Creatures of the Night for our public library. This was the second time giving this presentation. My partner covers mammals and birds and I do insects and arachnids. It was fun and people seemed to really enjoy it. First time was mostly adults. This time was more kids and they had a lot of questions. My portion of the presentation ended up taking twice as long as planned this time, but no one complained.

...one phrase that possesses an extremely negative or positive connotation, never anything in between. Sadly, this photo displays the lesser half.
This is a semi-forgotten photo the Short Line delivering a loaded 60C to the NS. The recent addition of CN gon trains initially had me worried that NS had lost the contract to run these trains, but that fear was (thankfully) put to rest when I saw a bunch of NS cars in the plant a few days ago. These trains have boggled the minds of rail enthusiasts for as long as they've been running. Where do they go? What's in all those gons?
While most assume that these trains are scrap loads going into the mill and empties leaving, they are not only empty going in and loaded coming out, but are loaded with steel slabs scarfed and loaded by TMS International, a contractor within the Indiana Harbor Works complex. The loads go down to Calvert, Al - more specifically a steel production facility known as AM/NS, a 2014-constructed joint facility owned by both ArcelorMittal (yes, still them, perhaps the only US location not purchased by Cleveland Cliffs) and Nippon Steel - hence the incredibly generic and uncreative name. These trains have been running since the plant opened those 7 years ago, and used to run in alternating directions every day, empties in, loads out, over and over again. Though recently, they've only been running once or twice per week in each direction, typically double the length that they used to be. A bit harder to find, but at least we still have a chance to shoot them...
...for now. I read last night that in February, ground was broken on a new facility in Calvert that will produce the slabs for AM/NS themselves, effectively obseleting (yes, that is an actual word!) these trains. You can read more about it here:
www.alreporter.com/2021/02/19/steelmaker-breaks-ground-on...
So, a little over a year remains for these trains to run before they will meet a swift end like so many other unique operations across the country. For now, here's a late September example of one. Two NS GE's are at the helm, with two other pushing hard on the rear (although you can't see them) of this massive 145-car loaded 60C. A Short Line crew is running the train and heading to 501, a mile to the east of me, where they will hand the train off to an NS crew. This would be one of the last times they would deliver to 501, as the preferred routing changed soon after NS having the SCIH dump them in Pine Siding at 497 - a very recent concept, but neat to see new sorts of operating patterns in this day and age!

Slowenien - Izola
Izola (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈíːzɔla]; Italian: Isola [ˈiːzola]) is a town in southwestern Slovenia on the Adriatic coast of the Littoral traditional region. It is the seat of the Municipality of Izola and is one of the three major towns of Slovenian Istria.
Name
Izola was attested in written sources as Insula in 972 and 977, and as Insulle in 1281. The name Izola is borrowed from Italian Isola, literally 'island', referring to the fact that the town center is a former island that was artificially connected with the mainland at the beginning of the 19th century.
History
An ancient Roman port and settlement known as Haliaetum stood to the southwest of the present town, next to the village of Jagodje, as early as the 2nd century BC. The town of Izola was established on a small island by refugees from Aquileia in the 7th century. The coastal areas of Istria came under Venetian influence in the 9th century. The settlement was first mentioned in writing as Insula in a Venetian document entitled Liber albus in 932 AD. It became definitely the territory of the Republic of Venice in 1267, and the centuries of Venetian rule left a strong and enduring mark on the region. The Venetian part of the peninsula passed to the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in 1797 with the Treaty of Campo Formio, until the period of Napoleonic rule from 1805 to 1813 when Istria became part of the Illyrian provinces of the Napoleonic Empire. After this short period, during which Izola's walls were torn down and used to fill in the channel that separated the island from the mainland, the newly established Austrian Empire ruled Istria until November 1918. The treaty of Saint Germain assigned Izola and the rest of the Istria region to Italy. The Italian-speaking population was the majority according to the Austro-Hungarian census of 1900: of 5,363 inhabitants, 5,326 spoke Italian, 20 Slovene, and 17 German. Istria became part of the Kingdom of Italy, until Italian capitulation in September 1943, whereupon control passed to Germany. Izola was liberated by a naval unit from Koper at the end of April 1945. After the end of World War II, Izola was part of Zone B of the provisionally independent Free Territory of Trieste; after the de facto dissolution of the Free Territory in 1954 it was incorporated into Slovenia, then a part of Yugoslavia. The newly defined Italo-Yugoslav border saw the migration of many people from one side to the other. In Izola's case, many Italian speakers emigrated, and in their place Slovenian-speaking people from neighbouring villages settled in the town.
In 1820, a thermal spring was discovered in Izola, leading to the town's earliest forms of tourism. Between 1902 and 1935 the Parenzana, a narrow-gauge railway line, connected the town to Trieste and Poreč (known as Parenzo until 1947).

Die Stadt Izola (italienisch Isola) ist der Hauptort der Gemeinde Izola an der adriatischen Küste Sloweniens, in der Region Primorska (Küstenland).
Italienisch gilt in Izola als anerkannte Minderheitensprache mit besonderem Schutz durch Art. 64 der slowenischen Verfassung.
Geschichte
Die Altstadt liegt auf der ehemaligen Insel, auf die sich der Name der Stadt zurückführen lässt. Die Nähe der Insel zum Festland führte bereits im ersten Jahrhundert zur Besiedelung. Später wurde die Insel durch die Errichtung einer Steinbrücke mit dem Festland verbunden. Im Jahr 1253 erklärte Izola ihre Selbstständigkeit mit eigener Gesetzgebung und Regierung. Im 13. und 14. Jahrhundert führte dies zu Stadtkriegen mit den Konkurrenzstädten Koper und Piran. Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts erscheint der spätere Doge Giovanni Soranzo in den Quellen als Podestà von Isola.
Der Kartograph Pietro Coppo kam 1499 nach Izola und hat mehrere bekannte Werke geschrieben und Karten gezeichnet. Eines seiner letzten Werke war 'Del sito de Listria', aus dem sich eine in Stein gemeißelte Reproduktion seiner Karte Istriens im Park Pietro Coppo im Zentrum von Izola befindet. Ab dem 13. Jahrhundert gehörte Izola zur Republik Venedig. Pasquale Besenghi degli Ughi ließ 1775 das stattlichste und prachtvollste Gebäude, den Besenghi-Palast, errichten. Er entstammte einer venezianischen Familie und erbte von seinem Vater die umfangreiche Bibliothek, welche noch immer etwa 3000 Bücher und einige Handschriften aus dem 16. und 17. Jahrhundert birgt.
Im Jahr 1797 übernahmen im Frieden von Campo Formio die Habsburger die Macht in Istrien, und Izola gehörte zur Habsburger Monarchie und wurde in das Kronland Küstenland eingegliedert. Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde die Stadtmauer abgerissen, um mit dem Abbruchmaterial das Meer zwischen Insel und Festland aufzuschütten. In dieser Zeit entdeckte der Mineralquellenforscher und Minorit Chiaro Vascotto im Jahr 1820 eine Mineralquelle in Izola. Danach veranlasste er, das Thermalbad des heiligen Petrus mit Hilfe einiger reicher Stadtbürger zu errichten. Das Mineralbad wurde im Jahr 1824 mit einem Saal für Tanz- und Musikveranstaltungen eröffnet. Vascotti sind sozusagen die Anfänge des Tourismus in Izola zu verdanken. Aus dem Bad wurde später ein Fischverarbeitungsbetrieb, auf dessen Gelände sich die Quelle befindet (Fabbrica Arrigoni, heute Fabrik Delamaris).
Gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts war Izola ein blühendes Städtchen, wie der folgende Eintrag in Meyers Konversationslexikon beweist: „Isola, Marktflecken im österreichisch-illyrischen Küstenland (Istrien), Bezirkshauptmannschaft Capo d'Istria, auf einem ins Meer vorspringenden Felsen, mit Zollamt, vorzüglichem Weinbau, Schwefelbad, Hafen und (1880) 5580 Einwohner.“
Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg fiel das Küstenland mit Izola an Italien, unter dessen Herrschaft es bis zur italienischen Kapitulation im Zweiten Weltkrieg 1943 verblieb. Nach dem Abzug der Italiener wurde die Stadt – wie auch die restlichen Gebiete des italienisch kontrollierten Istriens – von der deutschen Wehrmacht übernommen. Nach zwei Jahren unter nationalsozialistischer Herrschaft wurde Izola im April 1945 von jugoslawischen Partisanen befreit. Im Anschluss an den Zweiten Weltkrieg fiel die Stadt 1947 zunächst an das Freie Territorium Triest (Zone B) und mit dessen Auflösung 1954 an die jugoslawische Teilrepublik Slowenien.
Tourismus
Mit seiner kleinen, bisher ursprünglich gebliebenen Altstadt direkt am Mittelmeer rückt Izola immer mehr in den touristischen Fokus, sodass in den Ausläufern der Stadt neue Apartmentgebäude und Hotels errichtet werden. Im Sommer finden mehrere Festivals und Kulturfeste in der Stadt statt. Izola verfügt über eine relativ große Marina. Weitere touristische Ziele liegen mit den Küstenstädten Piran und Koper in unmittelbarer Nähe.
Sport
Bis zum Jahr 1996 existierte der 1923 gegründete Fußballverein NK Izola, welcher zur Zeit des Ligasystems der SFR Jugoslawien stets in unterklassigen Ligen gespielt hat, jedoch eine Teilnahme am UEFA-Cup der Saison 1992/1993 vorweisen kann. Der Verein wurde 1996 aufgrund von finanziellen Problemen aufgelöst und der im gleichen Jahr gegründete Verein MNK Izola gilt nicht als offizieller Nachfolger. MNK spielt heute in der dritten slowenischen Liga, erfreut sich jedoch noch einiger Anhängerschaft. Mit dem städtischen Stadion verfügt Izola über eine zur Einwohnerzahl verhältnismäßig große Sportanlage, in welcher in den späten 1990er und frühen 2000er Jahren Musikgrößen wie Iron Maiden, Deep Purple und Iggy Pop Konzerte gespielt haben.
Der Damen-Handballverein ZRK Izola spielt in der ersten slowenischen Liga und kann Europapokal-Teilnahmen vorweisen. Weiterhin gibt es einen Basketballverein.
