☛ An Oldsmobile 1958 and a Chevrolet 1948 facing Parque John Lennon in the Vedado neighborhood. Vedado is bordered to the east by Central Havana district and west by the Miramar district, just north of Plaza de la Revolución, the central administrative division of the Cuban government. In early colonial times, it was forbidden to build on these lands to be able to see at far the enemy fleets coming. Hence the name of Vedado, which means forbidden in Spanish.
☛ Une Oldsmobile 1958 et une Chevrolet 1948 face au Parque John Lennon dans le quartier Vedado. Vedado est bordé à l'est par le celui de La Havane Centrale et à l'ouest par le Miramar, juste au nord de la Plaza de la Revolución, chef-lieu du gouvernement cubain. Au début de la période coloniale, il était interdit de construire sur ces terrains afin de voir venir de loin toute flotte ennemie. D’où le nom de Vedado, qui signifie interdit en espagnol.

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

One or two roses in my garden are particularly stubborn and refuse to admit that winter approaches and most other rose plants have given up already!
The blue bits on the soil are dead petals that need to be sorted out and chucked away but my condition at present makes that an impossibility!
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
I ran across this photo I took of a vacant house on Maine Street here in Brunswick, Maine. It was February and the dirt that gets mixed with the snow and the condition of the structure are very grungy and I added a slight amount of grunge texture to the sky. A year or so later several male students from Bowdoin College just up the road spent time making it livable and it was occupied until last year when because of the pandemic most students returned to their homes. It has since been declared unfit for habitation by the town.

In its splendid workaday condition harking back to a non-heritage era, Prussian 'G12' Class 2-10-0 No.58 1111-2 makes a sure-footed text book departure from Straußfurt, working diagram DGN88721 08.10 Sondershausen to Ringleben-Gebesse demonstration freight, creating an almost timeless GDR-era scene on Friday 6th March 2026. This is the only locomotive of its class that has been preserved in operational condition and is still largely in its original Reichsbahn condition as when first built in 1921 by the Maschinenbaugesellschaft Karlsruhe.

Air conditioner is wide open as the power sits in front of the depot.
Think this is the photo that drove him to bale on the 24mm wide angle lense experiment. Gives a good look at that four bulb headlight.

No train in Japan is more famous, nor more sought after, than JR Central and JR West's 923 Series, better known worldwide as "Doctor Yellow"
Originally built in 1998, these trains were rebuilt from the original 700 Series. Their role is to make sure the Tokaido and San'yo Shinkansen routes are kept in peak condition through inspection. Each 923 series contains a myriad of track and overhead measurement equipment housed in 7 cars. Monitoring is done on board by a 9-person crew of railway technicians.
It is said here that seeing Doctor Yellow by chance is considered to bring good luck. At best, they'll operate 3-4 times a month. No official schedule exists, but there are unofficial ways to check if they're running, though by no means is it a guarantee. Regardless, I'm thrilled to finally see one for myself!

It is funny how cities just six hours from one another can deal entirely differently with weather. I grew up in Montreal, where you drive right over/through deep snowdrift and more-or-less vigilantly gun it on the ice. No problemo. Here in Toronto, the city is clearly traumatized by snowfall. Things shut down. Drivers panic. But the most interesting thing to me is the quiet. I think I snapped this shot at around six o clock on Friday night. People burrow and hide… and it makes me think that part of the human condition is the need for an excuse to experience trauma/drama. Toronto takes this opportunity because seemingly, this is as bad as it gets here. So people so to wallow/revel. But someone from Montreal would probably not think it as big a deal, and would find their trauma elsewhere. Weird.
Hmmm. Just a strange, passing thought to accompany this night shot. I'm not great at night shooting… I think I simply don't have the patience for it. But this one wasn't too bad.
edit: Y'all totally surprise me. This made the explore front page! Thanks so very much. It's really never the ones I expect.
Apparently, the first time these two aircraft types have ever been displayed together. In the foreground, the red de Havilland DH.88 Comet, a 1934 racing aircraft that won the England to Australia air-race in that year. Behind, the DH100 Venom, the first single-engined jet aircraft to serve with the RAF - thousands were built, and they were widely exported.
Maybe surprisingly, both aircraft are substantially made of wood. The Comet is almost entirely wooden, apart from the engines, undercarriage etc, and the Venom's cockpit nacelle is also made of wood. (The wings, tail and jet engine mounting are made from metal.)
The de Havilland company was expert in fabricating strong and light aero-structures, including complex double curvatures, from wood - often balsa sandwiched between plywood. The DH.98 Mosquito is probably their best known product.
The Vampire design dates from 1943, just 11 years after the Comet. It could fly at well over 500mph and entered service a few months after the end of the war. Over 3,200 Vampires were built, and many survive in flying condition today. This one is beautifully presented by the Royal Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron.
The Comet, as a type, had a somewhat less successful career. Apart from winning the race, it was little use for much else, and only a handful were ever built. G-ACSS 'Grosvenor House' is owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection, based at Old Warden aerodrome in England, where the two aircraft are seen in the picture.
