At each end of the year the geese spend some time here preparing or recovering from their long migration flights. It starts with just a few pairs and ends up with beautiful squadrons in formations almost from horizon to horizon. Taken just after sunrise the early golden light was illuminating the birds from below which created a nice tone.
The genesis for the destructive Camp Fire was one mile to the north of the tiny resort community of Pulga, CA, located in the Feather River Canyon. According to reports, the entire area surrounding Pulga was wiped out by the fire. It makes shots like this extra special. Late on a summer afternoon, a westbound Union Pacific grain train exits the small resort community.
I changed the bedding today - how mundane. Anyway, before I could get to it the cat had a field day on the sheets - this is a snap of her handy work. She was not impressed when I put the clean sheets on and hid in the airing cupboard in protest. Can't please everyone.
The leaves are turning brown & berries are turning red!
The seasons are changing!

Nahgriel does looks like Tauriel with the red hair color and blue eyes. Woeps. Keeping it. Sorry, not sorry.

He looks sad...
On January 8, 1978, the AMTRAK Empire Builder and North Coast Hiawatha were changed to depart Chicago at 1040 PM for an overnite run to the Twin Cities. A new Twin Cities Hiawatha, trains 9 and 10, began day service over the route.
Numbers 760 and 761 again connected with a train to Chicago. On January 21, 1978, eastbound BN freight (6831-6417-6900) sits at Interstate in Northtown Yard waiting for Number 760 with SDP40F 538 to pass.

2018 has been a very interesting year on the CN in Michigan, colorful lashups, more trains, a lot of changes has made it a good spot to be at. With Bridge and Structure department currently rebuilding the steam-era wood pile road bridge that allows Newberry Rd. to pass over the tracks, it has made for an already addicting location even more intriguing. Passing under the old bridge, CN Q116 is in full dynamics as they come into Durand to prepare to turn off the Flint Sub onto the Holly Sub with one of the two CITX SD70M-2's that CN is leasing. While change on the railroad can be for the worse, this change is for once, good.
Louisiana is beginning the change from green to brown ....I can't wait for that first real cold snap!
Spent a couple of hours in the Beeches yesterday morning to check on the colour. There is now a definite change on the way especially at the very tops of the tree canopy and trees on the periphery. There was also that lovely damp earthy smell that you tend to get in the Autumn months and certainly more fungi around than previous years. Looking forward to showing around my first 1-2-1 workshop client next week!
Awesome bend in the tracks in the abandoned Hemlock Mine.

Photo taken during my first ascent to the summit of Mont Thabor (3.178 m), Vallée Étroite (France).
The weather was changing dramatically for the worse... the landscape was appearing and disappearing all the time.. something that turned out as very attractive, visually and photographically speaking.
Here you can see the peak Gran Adritto (2.742) gazing through the clouds.

As told here: flic.kr/p/2pn2AuY the Bay Colony Railroad has lowered its flag after 41 1/2 years.
Here is the final train in New Bedford for the last time. After running east 7 1/2 miles across the length of the line the crew is making a few moves to pull the four loads they brought out on to the north leg of the wye for pick up by Mass Coastal. Then they will return this way down the main to pick up three empty gons and run thru the south leg and on to their Watuppa Branch for THE last run back west to Mid City.
This view looks north on the MassDOT owned and Mass Coastal operated New Bedford Secondary. Note the milepost denoting 53 miles to Boston via Middleboro and the former Old Colony mainline. This is a new milepost as the line is renumbered in anticipation of the start up of MBTA's South Coast Rail extension of T service. Prior to the change Nash Road was MP 29 as measured from the Northeast Corridor in Attleboro via the Middleboro Line thru Taunton, Cotley, and Myricks. The new signal mast with the heads turned afield is part of the South Coast project which has brought massive changes to what for years has been a rickety unsignaled freight branch seeing no more than two or three trains a week. In about a year when construction is complete and the line is ready for testing and startup, MassDOT will turn over control to the MBTA and Keolis will become the operator in place of Mass Coastal which will then only be the designated freight carrier.

All change. The end of the road for the 11? A change of direction? A refuelling stop? The start of a new and long journey? Get on the bus, Gus?

This old vessel is, after many years at sea, moored in the inner harbor of Tromsø, Norway. It now serves as a restaurant.

The pink peony I posted the photo of on June 15th (Frilly) has now started to change colour.

I want to thank you for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr.
I was walking Duncansby Head in Scotland when I got way-laid for a while by the nesting birds in the cliff crevices. Watching aggressive gulls repeatedly attacking those which were protecting their eggs was dramatic, but I managed to catch this pair of parents doing a swift swap-over in between attacks - the one leaving had been guarding the nest for some time but now it was their other half's turn while they flew off in search of food.... Or at least, that was my interpretation of what was happening. I'm no ornithologist!
With the power switching out on three trains multiple times over the course of a day it makes for a lot of crew changes. That's what's happening in this scene. The road engineer has offloaded his grip after the last trip with C&NW 6847 and turned it over to the hostling crew to be set aside. Now the SP 1518 will power the coach train. The hostler's attention is focused out the door back to the train as the connection is made to the coaches. Meanwhile, a trainman on the front steps compares notes with road engineer as he stands by for them to turn over the right-hand seat.
As I mentioned earlier, 1518 is the first of 17,000+ SD series EMD locomotives, built as the SD7 demonstrator. It was sold to the SP and had a long life of revenue service, over 50 years, extending into the UP era. It's been in preservation for over 20 years now. 1518 is in pretty rough shape cosmetically but I don't entirely mind the fading and rust. To me the weathering attests to the harsh climates the SP served and some of the lean years on the SP towards the end of their run. An air of believability is added, you can almost imagine the conversation starting off with something like "What do you make of the news? Sounds like they're selling the whole ball of wax to Union Pacific." August 10, 2024.
The sky was full of haze, another evening of the orange glow ball, as a friend called it. It would not be a "glorious sunset" with beautiful rays and color on the clouds as a few days earlier, but it was up to me to make the best of it. I decided if I walked a bit down the beach, the sun and lighthouse might line up nicely. Like life, with its many imperfect situations/moments, if you put in some effort, a tough situation may not be quite as tough and may even have some pleasing results, do what you can to change your perspective.
