It was rich with beauty and pain, symbolized both utter defeats and complete victories, and - at this moment - I knew I'd never see its like again. I stood in the quiet, watching in awe, each heartbeat a journey through heartbreak and peace

PS Saturday Second-take Sunset :))
I did open up something new...my first Greenbush beer, which is brewed a short drive away in Sawyer, Michigan. I enjoyed it. I have five more for another day. I now need to visit the brewery.

"SLØR - Veiled Forms" is the name of a new Series of sculptures made of fabric and wool covering shapes or incorporating geometries.
From the Danish word "Slør" that means "Veil" it is a project of sculptures to be recreated and integrated into exhibition spaces by the artist.
It was good to have Kohler-Andrae State Park open again after a month of closure. The park is now once more only accessible to those with an annual or daily park sticker. As a result, the crowds have thinned out, people wisely practice social distancing, and garbage no longer litters the park.
Thursday was sunny, the air full of birdsong, and there was much new plant growth after our days of heavy rains. For a moment, life seemed almost back to normal in these trying times. I hope that you have a similar place where you can go as well. It does make a difference in outlook.
Chester Northgate [CLC] station entrance. The slide says 'closed' which it is but there are clearly 2 DMU's in the station, taken in May 1970
Northgate is said to have closed completely on 6-10-69. The transparency is Kodak and the date stamp confirms the 1970 date. So is it surprising to see units on this date?
I didn't take a photo here until 1971 [Kodak Brownie 127] when it was well and truly closed though the track still in place and even the loco shed still standing.

Very sad to say our lovely village stores is shutting down next Saturday so this is the last of the bread portraits I guess. Very sad day for the village. It was a super oasis of life and smiles.
As you can see, there is a man sitting on a metal chair at a table where you see a metal statue. Some seconds before I took the photo, the man was looking at the statue. Last year, a woman could be seen actively explaining things to the silent figure, gesticulating and speaking loudly. I find these two episodes sorrowful. I wonder how lonely you must be that you need to dialogue with something that can't listen to you. Perhaps it is because, in his life, nobody really does. The woman seemed to have some kind of mental disorder. It doesn't matter. Both the elderly, and the mentally ill are often ignored by society, while they are the ones who need more human contact and appreciation.
You can see a building behind them, the Casino of Manresa. It is a modernist building located in the city of Manresa, close to Barcelona.
For many years, it was the headquarters of the social center of the city's bourgeoisie.
The main body of the building was built over three years (1906-1909). It was known as The Gentlemen's Casino because it functioned as a social club and gambling venue for the favored social classes of the time.
The building as a whole entered a period of decline until its final closure in the mid-1990s. After an intense citizen campaign in Manresa, in 1980 it was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument, thus avoiding its possible demolition through a speculative operation.
At the end of the 1990s, it was acquired by the Manresa City Council, and after being remodeled, it currently houses the Municipal Public Library along with a Cultural Center.
The man whose statue you can see was Joaquim Amat Piniella, born in Manresa. He was a Spanish writer, survivor of the Mauthausen concentration camp in the Second World War.
He participated in various cultural and political activities during the 1930s. After the Spanish Civil War, he fled to France, where he was interned in the Argelès-sur-Mer and Saint-Cyprien concentration camps, and was later mobilized as a forced laborer.
Like many Spanish republicans, in 1940 he was deported by the Germans to the Mauthausen extermination camp, where he spent five years, until he was freed by American troops and was able to return to Catalonia in 1946. He recounted his experience and the atrocities of Nazism in fictionalized in the book K.L. Reich (Konzentrationslager Reich), which he did not manage to publish until 1962.
Out on it's first afternoon on test thanks to the engineering closure, 2024 stock 48001 is seen approaching Barons Court on a run to Acton Town. The 2024 TS is currently planned to be in passenger service sometime in 2026.

After the last shot I posted, made up in the north near the Arctic Circle, I’m returning back south in my homeland (Italy), in the heart of one of the most impressive locations of this peninsula: the mighty Dolomites!
After spending a couple of days photographing clear skies (too much clear skies, for God’s sake!) like it was August, finally that day, just after sunrise, some dark clouds were approaching, announcing the storm of the day after.
The photo is taken from the famous Seiser Alm, one of the most known places of this part of the Dolomites, and I think you can see why! Even if someone told me that the place can get pretty crowded during the high season or in certain periods, that morning we were just a bunch of photogs and that helped me to breathe the true atmosphere of this place!
Photographically speaking, the most famous view from this place is the one with the Sassolungo and Sassopiatto mountains on the background, but when I saw those firing larches I seriously couldn’t resist to shot this panorama!

Dopo l’ultimo scatto fatto nei dintorni del Circolo Polare Artico, me ne torno parecchio più a sud nella mia Patria, nel cuore di una delle location più suggestive della penisola: le fantastiche Dolomiti!
Dopo aver passato un paio di giorni a fotografare cieli tersi come se ne possono trovare d’agosto al mare, finalmente poco dopo l’alba qualche nuvola iniziava ad arrivare, preannunciando la tempesta del giorno dopo.
Questa foto è stata fatta dall’Alpe di Siusi, uno dei posti forse più turistici di questa parte delle Dolomiti, e sicuramente c’è un perché! Anche se, come ho appena detto, il luogo è molto conosciuto, quella mattina eravamo pochissimi il che mi ha fatto sicuramente apprezzare di più il posto. Probabilmente, a livello fotografico, la veduta più famosa è quella con le baite in primo piano e il gruppo del Sassolungo e Sassopiatto sullo sfondo; quando però ho notato questi larici infuocati che contrastavo benissimo con le nuvole scure, ho mollato tutto ed iniziato a fotografare in quella direzione! Spero vi piaccia!
White Magnolia I began creating during my return from my hometown visit to spend some time with my little brother before his passing in Ontario . Home for a couple of weeks and returned back home for his Celebration of Life. This piece is not finished yet but for me it is hard to go back into a painting once the feeling and emotions change or disappear. At the moment this piece means a lot to me but it will need to continue the journey for closure.

On 3rd October 2018, Prussian 'T16.1' Class 0-10-0 tank 94 1538 runs through the closed Schmiedefeld station with a special public holiday working between Schleusingerneundorf and Rennsteig. Two decades of tree growth since its closure by DB have left it looking in a very sorry state. The railway first came to Schmiedefeld in 1904 after which it grew as a popular spa resort for convalescing, hiking and cross-country skiing. Post-war during the GDR-era, Schmiedefeld, being located high in the Thuringian Forest, was a popular holiday destination, and it was served by through holiday trains from Berlin. Even in 1990/1991 it as still served by a return through train service from Magdeburg. During the communist era, East German holidaymakers would flock to Schmiedefeld to rented accommodation and holiday homes, many unable to travel further afield from the GDR. After the end of communism, express trains still ran along this secondary railway through Schmiedefeld between Themar and Erfurt, although freight traffic on this route ceased at the end of 1993. Scheduled DB passenger services ended on the line in May 1998. The line, still connected to the DB national network, is now owned by the private Rennsteigbahn freight operating company, which commenced operating services around the DB network from 2003. As well as providing the safety case for the tourist operations with private historic locomotives and carriages, it has also recently operated timber trains along sections of the Rennsteigbahn, and there's clearly no shortage of that commodity!

A view of the "detached wing battery" at Coalhouse Fort, on the north bank of the River Thames.
Originally built in the mid 1860s to prevent French naval incursion, the fort and its two strategic partners, Shornemead & Cliffe, served a similar purpose in WW2.
The "wing battery" was 2 pairs of guns with ammunition stores beneath them, protected by earthen mounds; an existing drainage ditch was developed to form a moat around the battery. It's mostly concrete and iron and still intact, minus the guns. Close by was a minefield and a radar tower, photos of which I've uploaded often...
Coalhouse Fort is the only one of the three preserved and accessible and, after a period of closure, re-opened earlier this month.

A massive thank you to each and everyone in attendance at the opening of Closure
Special thank yous to Callum, Joy, Steve, Brian and everybody else who has made this possible..
As the fall colours come to an end and the leaves start falling, the CN local with a cool GP40 rolls by the CN Pelton Spur on the way to CN Little.
A unidentified Class 504 EMU 'Bury Electric' crosses Radcliffe Viaduct with the 19.40 Bury Interchange to Manchester Victoria service a few days before closure of the line as a heavy rail route. Conversion of the line to Manchester Metrolink Tramway was complete by April 1992.
* The original East Lancashire railway route opened in 1846 was via Clifton Junction to a point just North of here. The second part was opened in 1879, in order to connect the growing suburbs of Cheetham Hill, Prestwich and Whitefield. In 1872 the L&Y obtained an act to construct a new line from Manchester to the original ELR line at Radcliffe. Construction began in 1876 and was completed in 1879. Originally the line had only five intermediate stations at Crumpsall, Heaton Park, Prestwich, Whitefield and Radcliffe. Three more stations at Woodlands Road, Bowker Vale and Besses o' th' Barn were added later.

DE1013 LK09ENP seen at Hammersmith Bridge Road working on route 533 towards Castelnau Lonsdale Road (Hammersmith Bridge South Side)
There is not much variety down here since the Hammersmith Bridge closure as only the 72 and 533 pass through here, not helping as well as the 72s do pass this stop most of the time.
The 533 has been operating for over two years, although it had a frequency increase, it is still a heavy used route for passengers that wants access south of the river at Hammersmith as the bridge has been closed to all traffic, including pedestrians.
A flotilla of pleasure boats makes its way up the River Waveney towards Haddiscoe, heading for the bridge support that once carried the Beccles - Yarmouth South Town railway line across the river until closure in 1959.
To the right of the picture, a 156 DMU departs from Haddiscoe station with the 18.48 Lowestoft - Norwich.
Friday 13th July 2018.
I was looking forward to photographing the 37 here a few minutes later but it ended up being a DMU substitution. Well, it was Friday the 13th!
The old station building at Dobrich Добрич opened in 1910 and looks to have been a delightful building although 34 years after closure it's certainly been ravaged by the elements and the locals, the stench of human excrement whilst taking this shot in 30° heat was quite sickening. Anyhow here we have BDZ DMU 10 018 working SU 28221 from Kardam (Кардам) which was a terminating service at the very Soviet looking station building adjacent.
"Evening Closure:" This was the last photo I took on this particular evening at the Grand Canyon, as the light was fading and the rain began to come down, and I still had a 20 minute hike back to the car. But the solitude afforded here was peaceful.
66709 with a Steel working from Dee Marsh heading back to Wales diverted via the west midlands due to a unplanned signal box closure on the marches line
A view from the 1963 Look at Life film, High, Wide and Faster, featured the upgrading of Britain’s transport infrastructure. While the railways were being modernised, unremunerative lines such as the branch to Abingdon were set for closure. Nothing survives from this Great Western scene, apart perhaps from the single-unit "Bubble Car" diesel. These enjoyed long lives and many were snapped up by the preserved line.
Another image from a sunset ascent of Ha Ling Peak about a month ago. Such a wonderful experience to be up high during the golden hour.. Mt. Rundle is straight ahead, it's summit completely hidden in cloud. I loved the way the light broke through in different levels on the right and more prominently on the left, but even in the distance over towards Mt. Bourgeau. Definitely going to do some more sunset or even sunrise things next summer!
