Growth in a saturated buffer along Bear Creek on land farmed by Justin Hanson in August, 2016 after it was seeded with a prairie mix the fall before. It will take time to establish the prairie plants.

Buffer stops at Rugby station. The track has recently been removed as part of a redevelopment / resignalling project.

My new railway track for the many railway models I find myself building. It has third rail electrification and realistic treated wood sleepers.
This shows the spring behind the end buffers - this absorbs the force of a collision (hopefully intentional!) and allows for absorbing forces whilst on the move when connected to a locomotive.
Do these really serve any effective purpose in this condition? Cf my shot of the stops at Crewe the same day.
This person was driving impatiently behind me in the buffered lane. When I stopped to take their photo they figured out what was going on and merged back left. Note the green merging area for cars to cross the buffered lane into a right turn lane -- there are a few of these along the course.
The new buffered bike lanes were installed this weekend on SW Stark and SW Oak in downtown Portland

The beginning of the Stark St. buffered lane is at the new Zoobomb Pyle at SW 14th. Note the truck unloading in the parking zone without blocking the bike lane (I noticed this was often a problem on NYC's similar infrastructure). Also note the auxiliary Zoobomb pyle at the bike staple next to the monument.

A rancher can utilize a riparian buffer in order to provide clean water and lush vegetation during select grazing periods.
Buffers help:
Slow water runoff
Trap sediment and dust
Trap fertilizers and pesticides
Protect wildlife and livestock from harsh weather
Reduce winds, noise and odors
Provide food, nesting cover and shelter for many wildlife species
Increase privacy and beautify the countryside

The buffer in all its glory bathed in light from battle lanterns overhead. I've got more time than I care to remember behind this machine but for some unknown reason I kind of liked the thing.
If you didn't see these buffer stops (which is very unlikely!) you could finish up in the entrance lock. The strange objects at the base of the left buffer stop are plastic dragon heads for use in dragon boat racing.

Massive landslides caused by clearcutting. Days Creek watershed, foothills of Cascade Mountains.
This is also on MP 86 of the Pacific Connector Pipeline.

Rear buffer car on the oil train.
Much to my surprise the train ground to a halt just west of Maple Ave, a strange place to stop since it blocked all the crossings in downtown Downers. Aha, maybe they were dropping off a crew for an eastbound parked just west of Forest Ave. I sure hoped so; quite frankly the wind and cold were rapidly reducing my enthusiasm for the day.
