Two months after the Conrail breakup in 1999, a former Conrail GP38-2 and a Norfolk Southern GP50 drill high-cube auto parts boxcars at Motor Yard in Macedonia on the NS Cleveland Line. Much has changed in 19 years as the overpass and high-tension power line tower have been replaced, the GP50 has been rebuilt into a low-nose GP38-3 (many of which work this yard today), and the auto plants served by the yard have closed resulting in the disappearance of the hi-cube boxcars. More recently, the yardmaster position here has been abolished and the car shop has been closed.
I was trying to capture the feel of spring breakup on the Winnipeg River. I think this is probably my best effort.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - The ice on the Tongue River will likely be breaking up soon with warm weather on the way.
Here we often speak of "Breakup" more than "Spring." Breakup referring to when the ice breaks up and moves out from the rivers. On the Tanana River by Fairbanks the ice went out last week and the river is now free-flowing, but there are still large chunks of ice present and melting along the banks.
The Tanana River is the major tributary of the mighty Yukon River, where breakup is still occurring and this year wreaking havoc on villages and residents.

This photo shows spring break-up on the Takhini river. In the old days when there were few roads, goods were shipped by barge to be off-loaded here then transported by wagon trail to Silver city in the western Yukon.
I'm really enjoying black and white after nearly a 40 year absence. Colour is great and can strike an emotional response, but tonality, shapes, texture and composition really come to the forefront in b&w, focusing attention on the image elements, and allowing more for the imagination.

Sea ice breakup in Tethis Bay at Mario Zucchelli Station, Antarctica. This ice was our runway for the beginning of the season.
We have zoomed up into the forties after enduring weeks and weeks of sub-zero temperatures. The snow is turning to mush - people are taking off their parkas, and either going around in shirt sleeves, or sweatshirts.
Doc and I drove into Glennallen this morning and saw huge puddles forming everywhere. On the way back home, a big black cloud opened up and actually rained on us.
Caribou have been spotted gathering in small herds and heading north to the birthing grounds.
Now I will finally concede, that spring has arrived in Alaska.

Yesterday, 14 December 2019, the queen of the Nouvelle Vague, film actress, singer and director Anna Karina (1940) has passed away. French, but Danish-born Karina was the muse of director Jean-Luc Godard and starred in eight of his films. “Today, French cinema has been orphaned. It has lost one of its legends,” culture minister Franck Riester tweeted. Anna Karina was 79.
Anna Karina was born Hanne Karen Blarke Bayer in Solbjerg, Denmark, in 1940. Her mother was a dress shop owner and her father a ship's captain. Before she turned one, her father had left her mother. First she was raised by her maternal grandparents, where she stayed until the age of four. Then she spent time in and out of foster homes, before returning to live with her mother from the age of eight. She has described her childhood as 'terribly wanting to be loved' and as a child, she made numerous attempts to run away from home. She began her career in Denmark, where she sang in cabarets and worked as a model playing in commercials. At age 14, she appeared in the Danish short film Pigen og skoene/Girls and Shoes (Ib Schedes, 1954), which won a prize at the Cannes Film Festival. She studied dance and painting in Denmark and for a while made a living selling her paintings. In 1958, after a row with her mother, she hitchhiked to Paris. She had a break when, sitting briefly at the cafe Les Deux Magots, she was approached by a woman from an advertisement agency who asked her to do some photos. Hanne became a rising fashion model, and met Coco Chanel and Pierre Cardin. Chanel advised her to use as a professional name Anna Karina. She made a series of Palmolive ads in a bath covered in soapsuds, and was noticed by Jean-Luc Godard, then a film critic for Cahiers du cinéma. Godard was casting his debut feature film, À bout de souffle/Breathless (1960) starring Jean-Paul Belmondo. He offered her a small role, but she refused when he mentioned that there would be a nude scene. However, she eventually accepted his offer to play a major role in his second film, Le Petit Soldat/The Little Soldier (1960) with Michel Subor. Karina, who was still under 21 had to persuade her estranged mother to sign the contract for her.
Anna Karina and Jean-Luc Godard married during the shooting of their next film, Une femme est une femme/A Woman Is a Woman (1961) with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean-Claude Brialy. It is a tribute to American musical comedy and the first film Godard shot in color and Cinemascope. Judd Blaise at AllMovie: "Rather than the sometimes alienating, dense intellectualism of later Godard works, Une femme est une femme offers aesthetic pleasure through luxurious visuals and a charming musical score by Michel Legrand. Against this bright backdrop, Karina proves particularly fetching, capturing the film's frolicsome mood in an unforced manner. While not one of Godard's most groundbreaking or influential films, Une femme est une femme is one of his most appealing and pleasurable efforts." J. Hoberman at Criterion: "Mainly, A Woman Is a Woman is a valentine to Karina, who became pregnant during the course of the movie’s production; she and Godard were married in March 1961, an event that made the cover of Paris Match." At the Berlin Film Festival in 1961, Anna Karina was awarded as Best Actress for Une femme est une femme. In the following years, the couple made Vivre sa Vie/My Life to Live (1962), Bande à part/Band of Outsiders (1964), Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution/Alphaville, a Strange Adventure of Lemmy Caution (1965) with Eddie Constantine, Pierrot le fou/Pierrot Goes Wild (1965) with Jean-Paul Belmondo, Made in U.S.A. (1966) with Jean-Pierre Léaud and the anthology film Le plus vieux métier du monde/The Oldest Profession (1967). Though their cinematic collaboration seemed harmonious, behind the scenes, their relationship was tumultuous and bitter, made all the more difficult by the fact that it was under constant public scrutiny. Their three-year marriage ended in 1964, though they continued to work together until 1966. In 1967, Godard and Karina divorced.
Hal Erickson at AllMovie: "From all reports, Karina and Godard's relationship was symbiotic; it is certainly no coincidence that both actress and director went into a temporary artistic eclipse after their 1967 breakup." Anna Karina's acting career was not, however, limited to Godard's films, and she had a successful collaboration with other well-known directors. Some consider as her best performance her role in La Religieuse/The Nun (Jacques Rivette, 1966) in which she plays an intelligent, freedom-loving woman who is forced into a convent against her will. She also acted in the Italian productions Le Soldatesse/The Camp Followers (Valerio Zurlini, 1965) and the Albert Camus adaptation Lo Straniero/The Stranger (Luchino Visconti, 1967) starring Marcello Mastroianni. Karina also maintained a singing career and scored hits with Sous le soleil exactement and Roller Girl. Both songs were taken from the TV musical Anna (Pierre Koralnik, 1967), which Serge Gainsbourg had especially written for her. After her divorce in 1967 she went to Hollywood. She acted in Justine (George Cukor, 1969) and returned to Paris. Her later films included Laughter in the Dark (Tony Richardson, 1969), Rendez-vous à Bray/Appointment in Bray (André Delvaux, 1971) with Mathieu Carrière, Pane e cioccolata/Bread and Chocolate (Franco Brusati, 1973) starring Nino Manfredi, Chinesisches Roulette/Chinese Roulette (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1976), and Olyan mint otthon/Just Like Home (Márta Mészáros, 1978) with Jan Nowicki.
Anna Karina acted in but also wrote, produced and directed Vivre ensemble/Living Together (1973). She has also written three novels and made several appearances on television. She appeared on stage in Jacques Rivette's adaptation of La Religieuse/The Nun, Pour Lucrece, Toi et Tes Nuages, Francoise Sagan's Il Fait Beau Jour et Nuit and Ingmar Bergman's Apres La Répétition/After the Repetition. In 2005 she released Chansons de films, a collection of songs sung in films. Incidentally she played in films like L'oeuvre au noir/The Abyss (André Delvaux, 1988) with Gian Maria Volonté, Haut bas fragile/Up, Down, Fragile (Jacques Rivette, 1995) and the romantic thriller The Truth About Charlie (Jonathan Demme, 2002) starring Mark Wahlberg. James Travers at Le Film Site on L'oeuvre au noir/The Abyss : "This sombre adaptation of Marguerite Yourcenar’s acclaimed literary work was directed by the acclaimed Belgian film-maker André Delvaux. Visually, the film is impressive and it boasts an excellent cast, but for all its excellent production values it is a heavy and somewhat laboured affair." Karina's most recent film as a director was Victoria (2008) in which she also starred. Mark Deming at AllMovie: "Thirty-five years after directing her first feature film, iconic actress Anna Karina once again steps behind the camera for this charming comedy-drama shot in Canada. Jimmy (Emmanuel Reichenbach) and Stanislas (Jean-Francois Moran) are a pair of nightclub performers who play second-rate gay nightclubs as part of a drag act called 'Les Lolitas'." After Godard, Anna Karina was married three times more: to scriptwriter-actor Pierre Fabre (1968–1973), actor-director Daniel Duval (1978–1981) and director Dennis Berry (1982–1994). Since 2009 she was married to Maurice Cooks. On 14 December 2019, Anna Karina has died in a Paris hospital of the effects of cancer at the age of 79, her agent Laurent Balandras told AFP, adding that she passed away in the company of her fourth husband, American director Dennis Berry.

Madagascar (en malgache: Madagasikara; en francés: Madagascar) oficialmente República de Madagascar (en malgache: Repoblikan'i Madagasikara; en francés: République de Madagascar) es un país insular situado en el océano Índico, frente a la costa sureste del continente africano, al este de Mozambique. La nación está comprendida por la isla homónima, la más grande de África y la cuarta más grande del mundo, y por pequeñas y numerosas islas periféricas. Está separada del continente por el canal de Mozambique. A pesar de su cercanía actual al continente africano, Madagascar formaba parte en su origen del subcontinente indio, del cual se separó hace unos 88 millones de años. Por ello, su aislamiento ha favorecido la conservación en su territorio de multitud de especies únicas en el mundo, la mayoría de ellas endémicas de la isla. Las más notables son los lémures (un infraorden de primates), el fosa carnívoro, cinco familias endémicas de aves y seis especies endémicas de baobabs.
El gentilicio de Madagascar es malgache y el idioma nacional es el malgache, su segundo idioma es el francés. La mayoría de sus habitantes tiene creencias tradicionales, son cristianos, o una amalgama de ambos. Madagascar pertenece al grupo de los países menos desarrollados, según las Naciones Unidas. El ecoturismo y la agricultura, junto con mayores inversiones en educación, salud y empresa privada, son elementos clave de la estrategia de desarrollo de Madagascar. Sin embargo, estos beneficios no se distribuyeron uniformemente en toda la población, produciendo tensiones sobre el creciente costo de vida y la disminución del nivel de vida entre los pobres y algunos segmentos de la clase media. Madagascar es el nombre que los portugueses dieron a la isla en 1502 y derivaba de Madeigascar (también Madagosho, Madagascar), que era el nombre de una isla-reino africana mencionada por Marco Polo en su libro (fines del siglo XIII). Aunque algunas fuentes aseguran que este nombre surgiría de la confusión con Mogadiscio, capital de Somalia.
En cuanto al nombre malgache, con el que se denomina a sus habitantes, el término proviene del francés, tomado de Malagasy, que era el nombre que se daban los habitantes originales de la isla.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar
Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar, is an island country lying off the southeastern coast of Africa. It is the world's fourth largest island, the second-largest island country and the 46th largest country in the world. Its capital and largest city is Antananarivo.
Madagascar consists of an eponymous main island and numerous smaller peripheral islands. Following the prehistoric breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, Madagascar split from Africa during the Early Jurassic, around 180 million years ago, and split from the Indian subcontinent around 90 million years ago, allowing native plants and animals to evolve in relative isolation; consequently, it is a biodiversity hotspot and one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries, with over 90% of wildlife being endemic. The island has a subtropical to tropical maritime climate.
Madagascar was first settled during or before the mid first millennium AD by Austronesian peoples, presumably arriving on outrigger canoes from present-day Indonesia. These were joined around the ninth century AD by Bantu migrants crossing the Mozambique Channel from East Africa. Other groups continued to settle on Madagascar over time, each one making lasting contributions to Malagasy cultural life. Subsequently, the Malagasy ethnic group is often divided into 18 or more subgroups, of which the largest are the Merina of the central highlands.
Until the late 18th century, the island of Madagascar was ruled by a fragmented assortment of shifting sociopolitical alliances. Beginning in the early 19th century, most of it was united and ruled as the Kingdom of Madagascar by a series of Merina nobles. The monarchy was ended in 1897 by the annexation by France, from which Madagascar gained independence in 1960. The country has since undergone four major constitutional periods, termed republics, and has been governed as a constitutional democracy since 1992. Following a political crisis and military coup in 2009, Madagascar underwent a protracted transition towards its fourth and current republic, with constitutional governance being restored in January 2014.
Madagascar is a member of the United Nations (UN), the African Union (AU), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the Organization Internationale de la Francophonie. Malagasy and French are both official languages of the state. Christianity is the country's predominant religion, but a significant minority still practice traditional faiths. Madagascar is classified as a least developed country by the UN. Ecotourism and agriculture, paired with greater investments in education, health and private enterprise, are key elements of its development strategy. Despite substantial economic growth since the early 2000s, income disparities have widened, and quality of life remains low for the majority of the population. Madagascar is experiencing an ongoing famine, which experts argue is the first to be caused entirely by climate change.
In the Malagasy language, the island of Madagascar is called Madagasikara and its people are referred to as Malagasy. The origin of the name is uncertain, and is likely foreign, having been propagated in the Middle Ages by Europeans.
One hypothesis relates Madagascar to the word Malay, referring to the Austronesian origin of the Malagasy people in modern-day Indonesia. In a map by Muhammad al-Idrisi dating from the year 1154, the island is named Gesira Malai, or "Malay island" in Arabic. The inversion of this name to Malai Gesira, as it was known by the Greeks, is thought to be the precursor of the modern name of the island. The name "Malay island" was later rendered in Latin as Malichu, an abbreviated form of Malai Insula, in the medieval Hereford Mappa Mundi as the name of Madagascar.
Another hypothesis is that Madagascar is a corrupted transliteration of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia and an important medieval Indian Ocean port. This would have resulted from 13th-century Venetian explorer Marco Polo confusing the two locations in his memoirs, in which he mentions the land of Madageiscar to the south of Socotra. This name would then have been popularized on Renaissance maps by Europeans.
When the year drew towards the end and closed with Christmas I started dating someone. We even lasted for the magical seven weeks. It ended this January. I made an island in Second Life with a grave on it. There our relation lies buried cried over by my blue stick man.
Perdu is French for hidden or lost. She lived in France.

picture from last spring. Ice was starting to breakup and the lake ice formed wonderful ridges of ice and snow. The clouds rolled in, the sun began to set and it started to lightly rain and soon this amazing rainbow formed that stretched from one tip of the land on the right to the small island on the left. It was truly a wonderful moment.
I've kept these a little vague as I can't be bothered doing an in-depth instruction manual and its good for people to create their own stuff. Hopefully if you're interested you can get some ideas from these scraps.
More storyboarding here for "Thief In the Night."
The way I am conceiving this scene, Nolan (played by Conan Bankersbox) is returned from seeking a resolution for Melanda's problem, but Melanda believes the only thing to do is to break up with Nolan and leave him. As you can see from photo 4, the breakup isn't an easy one for either side....
Conan is once again wearing Utopia evening wear (Diplomat); I'm in the lusciously over the top Aeon gown from Heth Haute Couture. Hair by Letituier; jewels by Lazuri and Modern Couture; cigarette holder from Anachron; nails by S H O C K.
Thanks much, Conan! I can never pull off these shots without your help.
Around the Grid has more!

Route 20B, Eden Quay to Beaumont, (Ardlea Road). Dublin Bus, (Summerhill Garage), Leyland Atlantean AN68, Vanhool, D676, (676 ZO) was photographed in May 1991 setting off from Marlborough Street to the Eden Quay terminus. Summerhill's KD316 parked up behind waits it's departure time on the route 20A to Donnycarney North (Killester Avenue). The Marlborough Street location now accommodates the Luas tram green line southbound track and thus is no longer used as a bus parking/set down area.
The route 20B had a high frequency Monday to Saturday, less so on a Sunday. Interestingly many of the peak time morning departures from Beaumont traveled southside to St Stephen's Green with evening departures from the same location back to Beaumont.
On 7th August 2011, as part of the Network Direct route redesign project the route 20B was withdrawn replaced by an extended route 14, (Parnel Square East to Dundrum Luas), whose northside terminus was extended from Parnell Square East to Ardlea Road. Also on this date, the routes 14A and 48A were withdrawn, the 15B was shortened to Ballyboden Way and a new route 61, (Eden Quay to Whitechurch) was introduced.
Many thanks to Craig (dublinbusstuff) for the Network Direct details of route revisions and effective dates.
D676 was one of 238 Leyland Atlanteans (D603 - D840) built for CIE between the years 1974 and 1976, all in tan/buff livery. Following the breakup of CIE into 3 subsidiary companies in 1987, the Dublin Bus Vanhools received the Bombardier green livery in 1987/88 and the Bus Eireann Vanhools (Cork & Limerick garages) were painted into the Bus Eireann red/white livery around the same time. Many of the Class from D764 upwards received DAF engines and were reclassified as DF764 etc. Conyngham Road's D803 received a Cummins engine and was reclassified as DC803.
