I had to find a fence somewhere and finally, I did. This shot is taken at "Happy Valley" in Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane. This is a large beachside park between Bullcock Beach and Kings Beach and where Pumicestone Passage which divides Bribie Island and the mainland used to make its entry to Moreton Bay by a tricky bar. The day we went up, it was late morning low tide so that we could, for the first time walk across to Bribie Island, now North Bribie.
So what's this all about - well, a lot of change since I was a kid when we took our annual holidays with Mum and Dad here. In those days there was no park and in fact the whole scene in front was one of lightly vegetated sand dunes (no water in foreground) all the way out to the sea, more or less where you see it now. Except in those days, you couldn't see it.
A little out of frame to the right was Pumicestone Passage with the Caloundra bar beyond, about three quarters up the RHS of the shot. It was a reasonably deep channel and fast flowing when the tide was running in or out and deep enough so that just beyond Bullcock Beach which was actually in the passage to the right had wharves where a fleet of prawn trawlers tied up and sold their catch. By the early 90's, the sand dunes were starting to diminish and they eventually all washed away or perhaps blew away too, leaving a wide beach with lagoons and small channels as seen here. It has been that way with small changes from month to month for 25 years.
Across the other side of the Passage was the northern tip of Bribie Island, one of the three large sand islands in Moreton Bay and you could only get there by way of the bridge from Caboolture at the southern end and then drive up the beach by 4WD or via a boat across from anywhere in Caloundra. The north end of the island was quite narrow in parts.
Then along came the inclement weather that contributed to the devastating floods of 2022 and nature took over to finish a job it had started years before. The sea punched a hole through the narrow northern part of Bribie Island and created a new passage that grew wider as time went by opposite the Golden Beach area of Caloundra. Balancing this, the old channel gradually got shallower and filled with sand, some drifting, some blown I believe and at least at low tide now part of Caloundra and able to be walked to where once us kids were forbidden to play in case we fell into the deep, swift flowing water.
For the first time in my life, we achieved the impossible and walked across to what was Bribie Island. As Bluey and Co. would say "Hooray"!

IF I COULD CHANGE THE WORLD
If I could change the world
everyone would have food to eat
no one would be alone
no one would have to suffer
no more wars, no more deaths, no more injustice,
no more abuse, no more suicides
but one person can not change the world
by themselves
but you can change the outcomes of others
every moment, every grace
every step you take
can relfect and change someone's
life and outlook on life
maybe one smile a day
can brighten there whole day
that one word you say
might just be that pick up they might need
to see a brighter light
to change the world
can only be like foot prints in the sand
everyone person has to take a stand
say what you feel
do what you must
this is how we will bust
to be able to change the world
one minute at a time

I created this image at the Stand for Change Rally with Barack Obama in Virginia Beach, Virginia. According to the Virginian-Pilot newspaper, over 18,000 people were in attendance. As Rep. Bobby Scott said, this had to have been "the biggest political rally in Virginia Beach history." Better Large.
(I absolutely hate watermarks, so please forgive mine. A number of my John Edwards images got poached (by the 'real' media, no less), so these are temporary evils.)
Being from South Florida, I don't often get to witness the changing of the seasons ... such a pity since it's one of my favorite things to witness.
There's something special about the changing of the seasons, as we're so richly rewarded with the amazing display of colors that autumn brings with its arrival.... yellows, reds, oranges, even varied tones of greens ... all play a role in the visual delight of fall. The air is usually crisp and cool, the sky is usually deep blue and often void of clouds, which really allows the changing colors of the leaves to stand out even more so.
This image was taken in Park City, in the Deer Valley area specifically in the middle of a stand of tall aspens. As I hiked around amongst them, I was alerted to the sound of the dry leaves under my hiking boots ... crunch, crunch ... another favorite fall related cue of mine. As I looked up towards the sky, I was overwhelmed by the fascinating view above me. If I couln't be amongst the brown bears at this moment, this was a certainly a runner up for moments of awe and appreciation of the beauty and splendor that surrounds us. Really makes one feel one with nature.
Why do I live in south Florida if I love the mountains, the seasonal changes, the wildlife so much? I really have no idea! LOL. Well, that's not entirely true, for every geography has its own beauty and uniqueness - just like people - and it takes diversity to make us really appreciate what we have each and every moment. It is my hope that everyone takes stock on what they have in their own surroundings and, though its not quite Thanksgiving Day yet (yikes, is it really just around the corner?), truly appreciate the beauty and be thankful of all that is around you.
Thanks for stopping by to view and for all of your thoughts and comments. Another crazy week ahead of me, but then I plan on getting back to the norm in my life. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Okay, the world is most definitely experiencing "Climate Change" but when I went, stupidly, our for my walk, this morning and looked across to Arran it had almost disappeared!! The dark area on the horizon is actually Holy Isle which stands just off the east coast of Arran.
It has definitely been an experience of "climate change" for me this week!! Snow, last weekend, strong winds and rain during most of this week and today, not so windy but it rained and rained when I was one hour away from home!! Soaked to the skin when I walked through the door ... "climate change" it must be!!
Our Daily Challenge ~ Starts With The Letter "C" ...
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
This amateur snapshot shows a time of big change in the bus and coach industry. Depending on your perspective we see the coaches of three companies here; or perhaps four; or perhaps one.
The three coaches all belonged to the National Bus Company, the huge nationalised conglomerate formed in 1968 that owned most local non-municipal bus companies. In 1973 when this photo was taken, NBC was just starting to impose a new 'corporate livery' of either poppy red or leaf green on ts subsidiaries and the two vehicles at right and centre carry variations of the new style. Ribble 906 in the centre carries the 'dual purpose' style while Potteries Motor Traction 918 is already twelve years old and has the ordinary 'bus' style.
The coach on the left hasn't been repainted in the NBC color scheme yet: it's one of many Leyland 'Leopard' coaches with comfortable Alexander 'Y-type' coachwork delivered to the North Western Road Car Company over ten years. But very close inspection shows that it is wearing a Crosville Motor Services fleet number plate: in 1972 North Western was dismembered and split between the SELNEC, Crosville and Trent companies. This was a shame for North Western was a well-run, well-liked company but SELNEC made a good offer to NBC for North Western's Manchester-area services; and the remaining rural services weren't viable on their own.
The venue is the parking area of Lower Mosley Street coach station, close to Central railway station and next to the Britons Protection public house. This parking ground is now occupied by offices while the main Lower Mosley Street site is occupied by Bridgwater Hall.

A change in the rates of postage, effective on July 1, 1931, to 3 cents for the 1st ounce or fraction of an ounce, on letters for Canada, the British Empire, the United States, and certain other countries - 13 cents covered both postage and registration on letters weighing not more than 1 ounce.
From April 1, 1943 - a 1 cent War Tax was added to the first weight step preferred letter rate. The preferred letter rate was 4 cents for the first ounce and 2 cents for each additional ounce. 4 cents letter rate + 10 cents registration fee = 14 cents
RED PASS, B.C. to New Westminster, B.C / - 8 / 11 March 1939
3 cents forward letter + 10 cents registration fee = 13 cents.

RED PASS became a hamlet with a general store, school, post office and railway station. The hotel was built in 1924 and later a police barrack was added. Residents of Red Pass would travel east and west on the train. The "road" was unimproved and hazardous until 1962 when the highway was upgraded and the need for Red Pass diminished. Trains could now travel longer distances and did not need the stop in Red Pass for servicing. After 1965, railroaders found new jobs and the police were transferred out. The hotel had burned down in 1949, the post office & general store closed in 1976 and in 1991 the little town ceased to exist.
RED PASS - The railway junction at Mile 27 at the west end of Moose Lake was originally called Resplendent, a name also deriving from the color of the rocks. East of Red Pass, the tracks of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, descending to the Fraser River on route to Prince George in 1912, were kept as low as possible. The tracks of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway, heading for the Albreda Pass, were kept high. After the consolidation of the railways in 1923 as the Canadian National Railway, Lucerne disappeared as a railway divisional point and Resplendent blossomed as Red Pass Junction, the point where the removal of the separate tracks stopped and where the two lines diverged. During the 1930s, there was a hobo jungle at Red Pass where the vagabonds waited for trains. About 50 people lived at Red Pass in the 1940s. During World War II it was the site of a Japanese internment camp. The Red Pass hotel burned down in 1949. After the highway opened in 1962, the need for Red Pass diminished. CN still uses some buildings at Red Pass. The headquarters of Mount Robson Park were moved from Red Pass to Valemount in 1987. LINK to the complete article - www.spiralroad.com/red-pass-station/
The RED PASS Post Office was established - 1 November 1921 and closed - 29 January 1976, when it was moved to Valemount.

Earl Woodley left Entrance, Alberta in 1920 and opened a hotel and general store in Red Pass, British Columbia. He became Postmaster at Red Pass and served from - 31 May 1923 to - 10 June 1946 - the Post Office was located in his General Store.
EARL FRANCIS WOODLEY - Resident of Mt. Lehman, B.C. since 1950, Earl Francis Woodley, died in MSA General Hospital on March 13, 1979 at the age of 85. Born in Ontario, Mr. Woodley came to British Columbia in 1914 and was employed by the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern Railways during the early part of the century. He also worked in a fur trading post in the north and operated his own general store on the Yellowhead Highway and also in Mt. Lehman prior to his retirement. He was a member of the Jasper Masonic Lodge.

I live right by here, It never ceases to amaze me how the scene, though the same, looks
so different in the changing seasons even to the time of day and the light.
Even so, it is still beautiful to me.
If you have the time, please view in the light box.

In the summer of 1996 Class 60 no.60035 passes Bedlinog with a loaded MGR from Cwmbargoed Disposal Point to Aberthaw.
This was around the time Class 60s replaced pairs of Class 37s on these trains and this is the first time I saw a Class 60 on the branch. I never been back to the line since but will make the effort again one day as the scenary is superb.

I finally followed through with that haircut that I've been wanting, and it wasn't quite as painful as I imagined to cut it off. Actually, I was left with a pretty awesome haircut. However, I do think I bare a pretty uncanny resemblance to 99% of the soccer moms in America now.
A loaded unit ethanol train rolls southbound down the mainline, with the train stretched between the Ashton and Berkeley mill villages in Cumberland, Rhode Island.
This part of Rhode Island, and southern Massachusetts, along the Blackstone River was a big money maker for the rail industry with the mills and factories strewn along the river. But, as usual, all that is good must come to an end sooner or later and the factories and mills shutdown for good. The two "straight railed" customer turnouts on the right side of this photo used to serve Peterson Puritan Aerosol, whom went out of business, and then KIK Custom Products for a brief time before they too shut down.
Out of view, and just north of the second "straight railed" turnout is another one for Owens Corning Fiberglass. The factory melted glass into marbles which were shipped to the mill just across the tracks that then melted the marbles and made fiberglass. Both the mill and factory received rail service until business tanked and ultimately shut them down as well. Owens Corning however still thrives, just elsewhere.
On the left side of the photo, and out of view, are two other turnouts that have since been completely ripped up. They used to serve Okonite, an electrical wire and cable manufacturer. The company is still there but has gone to truck for shipping and receiving instead. One of the tracks was re-installed about 10 years ago for Dean Warehousing that moved into some vacant space behind the Okonite factory. They received cars of coiled wire a handful of times per week. But, just a few years ago that too was ripped back up and straight railed, as Dean moved out and went elsewhere.
Sadly, the potential to service five different customers on this hardly quarter mile section of mainline is a thing of the past. Thankfully though, the railroad has grown and generated more customers along the way.
You win some, you lose some.
Photo taken April, 2015.
So a while back when I attented a photography workshop on building and branding your business...it was recommended that you use your "name" as your business...so I have been debating and thinking about it...messing around a little with what kind of branding I really want to use...I have come up so far with this watermark...whadda ya think??? I just don't know if I truly know what I want and what my brand/style is exactly yet...but I figure I should probably decide sooner than later...
Change from "Capture Life Photography" to my name "Rachel Plowman Photography"?
Opinions, suggestions??
Thanks!
Little Washington, NC along the Riverfront.
Just beyond the bridge in the distance is The Tar River. which originates far upstate in NC. As it flows under the bridge, the river changes it's name to The Pamlico. From here, it flows another 20 miles downstream into the huge Pamlico Sound and eventually out to Sea through a small number of Inlets on the Outer Banks.
After much re-touch, I finally got the photo I wanted. The bad patches on the face, I got rid off, the overworked touch-ups were deleted and voila, here's the photo!
ma è possibile che un sito che paghiamo, si possa permettere di minacciare continuamente e purtroppo di farlo pure, di cambiare layout e chi più ne ha, più ne metta????
ebbasta ecchepalle!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish you a Happy New Year! Have fun in 2013! :-)

Previously, Delta has already revealed that capacity is to be reduced into the UK for the upcoming Winter 2016/2017 schedule following the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union.
Airline Route has published two different schedule changes mainly affecting its London Heathrow routes, the two schedule changes are during the Winter 2016 timeframe and Summer 2017 timeframe.
For the Winter 2016/2017 schedule, Delta is to switch operational aircraft on both its London Heathrow to Detroit and Minneapolis routes. The changes commence from 29th October 2016 until 25th March 2017, which include:
-Detroit: DL18/19 converts from Boeing 767-400ER to Boeing 767-300ER operation, converting back to Boeing 767-400ER for the Summer 2017 schedule whilst DL16/17 will operate utilise Boeing 767-300ER's.
-Minneapolis: DL10/11 converts from Boeing 767-400ER to Boeing 767-300ER operation.
The Summer 2017 schedule sees Delta recommencing its 3rd daily flight between London Heathrow and Atlanta, following the announcement that Virgin Atlantic will be transferring one of two daily flights back over to Delta.
DL28/29 will continue to utilise Boeing 767-400ER's, DL30/31 will utilise Boeing 767-300ER's, however DL32/33 will utilise Airbus A330-300's.
For the first time since Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines merger, Airbus A330's operated by the US carrier will make a comeback after a lengthy absence (not including emergency diversions). Prior to the merger, Northwest Airlines regularly utilised Airbus A330's into London, first at Gatwick during the Bermuda II Agreement and finally London Heathrow from 2008 following the introduction of the EU-US Open Skies Agreement.
During the merger of Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines as both fleets started to be integrated, Airbus A330's were largely concentrated operating from major SkyTeam hubs, however with the fleet integration, Boeing 767's beame concentrated on other routes.
Delta currently operates the largest Boeing 767 fleet in the world with 91 in service, which includes 12 Boeing 767-300's, 58 Boeing 767-300ER's and 21 Boeing 767-400ER's.
November Eight Three Six Mike Hotel is one of 21 Boeing 767-400ER's in service with Delta, delivered new to the carrier in December 2000 and she is powered by 2 General Electric CF6-80C2B7F engines.

Happy 61 st wedding anniversary to Ottavia and Joe!
A picture of my dear friend Ottavia beside her overgrown fruit and flower garden and two photos of the garden than has now become a lawn around the trees. A reminder that we all have to accept changes in our lives as we age and our lifestyles change.
Thanks for visiting.
