Installation of saturated buffer in Story County, Iowa, on land farmed by Justin Hanson. A line of tile is installed parallel to the stream. When water from field tile is diverted to this tile from the water control structure that lies within a seeded buffer, the soil below becomes saturated. The roots and plant uptake then denitrify the water.

Had a go at recreating the excellent wood/stone buffer stop by Karwik (www.flickr.com/photos/karwik/4748535761/in/album-72157624...)
Hit 'L' to view on large.
Abandoned Traintrack and train, a local trek which is nice for a bank holiday.

Buffer stops at Rugby station. The track has recently been removed as part of a redevelopment / resignalling project.
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 Enschede separating the NS operations behind the camera and the DB operations in front of the camera. Just visible on the in the distance is the former platform 5 which DB trains used to use here until the station was modernised in August 2013. The DB service from Gronau (and Munster / Dortmund) restarted in 2001 after a gap of many years.

Buffers to Bushland mixed-species 'standard' boxes - in this case Plains A (overstorey) and Plains B (underestorey) boxes - created on Boxing Up Day.
This is an annual event held at the City of Playford's Playord Operations Centre nursery in Davoren Park where local-native tubestock seedlings are assigned to a range of 'standard' mixed-species boxes for distribution to our Buffers to Bushland rural revegetation scheme.
This year 12,000 seedlings were sorted into these boxes.
Property owners participating in the scheme and regular volunteers from Playford Greening and Landcare assist with this task on the day.
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
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.

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.
