"Renfermé de dingue
Y a qu'à ma plume que j'parle
Si j'le fais pas
Qui ira faire ma maille ?
Ils veulent tout, ils foutent rien pendant qu'moi, j'bosse
Arrêtez tout , rangez vos gosses..."

Across Forest Canyon from this overlook point at 11,716', the peaks of the Continental Divide form the mountainous backbone which demarks whether rivers flow east toward the Atlantic, or west toward the Pacific.
To reach this overlook you drive the Trail Ridge Road (US HWY 34), the highest continuous road in the United States. But, be aware the road is closed from mid-October until June due to severe weather.
Classic elegance came in the shape of the 1941 Lincoln Continental. It was the beginning of a new era.
Backlit Something or Other.
Over the years my knowledge of plant taxonomy has grown considerably. From this I know that the Something or Other genus is one of the largest in the plant kingdom and very diverse...
But I digress.
This is a single image of two leaves on a houseplant that struggles for survival with remarkable stoicism at my daughter's, taken, developed and processed entirely on-site this week.
I have photographed this plant before - it always seems good value with the light behind because of the veins and colour variation and the wiggly edges.
(Ed (whoever he is): Hmmmm... too much information once again, Peter.)
The upper leaf is quite small and closer, but in any case the whole thing is cropped to less than three inches for the Macro Monday's theme of Translucent this week.
The cloudy daylight behind comes from the lounge window and the background is a crocheted throw made by said dafter (I'm always impressed by any crocheter who manages to extricate a crochet needle from a stitch. It's a skill I have singularly failed to acquire, without using a pair of pliers, despite trying several times over the years. Something about my tension I think).
Thanks. Hope you enjoy the image. Happy MM :)
[Handheld in daylight (propped on table).
Developed and processed in Affinity Photo on the iPaddle.
A bit of colour correction first, and Curves to balance the light and diminish the background.
Inpainting to remove some fluff.
Cropped to 16:9 which I really like when it works (it’s a widescreen aspect that people are used to, and wide goes well with Flickr).
Duplicated layer and blended back with Overlay mode to increase contrast.
Sharpened with High Pass/Linear blend (good for the lines), and then a very little bit of USM.
Light vignette (which did wonders for that vein in the bottom left, I discovered).

The granite peaks of the northern Front Range form the divide between waters flowing to the Atlantic or to the Pacific oceans. This view from Caribou Ridge (13,000’ / 4000 m) looking north includes the core of the Indian Peaks with the mountains of Rocky Mountain National Park in the distance. North Boulder Creek drains the valley directly below. At the head of the valley on the left is the rapidly disappearing Arapaho Glacier, the southernmost glacier in the Rocky Mountains, with a mostly ice and snow covered tarn just below it. Several other glacially carved lakes can be seen in the valley below it, including a lovely turquoise colored lake which receives a bit of rock flour (fine ground rock) from the glacier above it.
The wind was strong and steady as evidenced by the wave clouds to the east of the divide. Flower photos were difficult.
Peaks visible in this view include (l to r) North Arapaho Peak, Mount George, Apache Peak, Navajo Peak (shaded rocky nob in the center of the photo), Arikaree Peak, Longs Peak, Kiowa Peak, and Mount Albion. The Great Plains begin at the base of the mountains on the far right.

Monarch Pass, Colorado, 11,312 feet (3448m), looking toward the Atlantic Ocean (Pacific Ocean to the rear). Monarch Pass is a mountain biking resort in the summer and a ski resort in the winter.

This was the view at the top of our climb at the Continental Divide. Elevation of around 9500 feet. We had our packs on - which I propped up to rest the camera on timer. We were alone up there. I'm impressed with this crew that they made it. Sensational Saturday to you.
A look north from the road up to James Peak Wilderness Trail. This is the Divide that separates the Eastern and Western United States.
Con colores ahora veraniegos, este encuadre luce un aspecto distinto al que tenía cuando tomé esta imagen del Logitren en febrero. Ahora el paisaje es más verde, y junto con un sol abrasador, circula este Teco de Continental Rail a cargo de la 333-381.

Doug Harrop Photography • June 23, 1994
Southern Pacific's Arco, Colorado to East St. Louis, Illinois coal train has successfully crested the 10,240 ft. summit at Tennessee Pass in Colorado.
For the train data geeks: The 1ARESC22 has 12 locomotives, 105 loads, 13,800 tons, and 6,100 feet of train.
It’s a 1960 Continental Mark V convertible. The 4 strakes on the fender indicate 1960 as the model year.
Doug Harrop Photography • August 4, 1975
Here's one last photograph from Doug's visit to Homestake Pass in Montana on August 4, 1975. Here we see a Burlington Northern (former GN) U33C pulling west through a narrow cut east of the Continental Divide.
Amtrak's North Coast Hiawatha was trailing right behind him, moving slowly down the pass toward the stop at Union Station in Butte.

1947 Lincoln Continental 2 door Cabriolet.
The Lincoln Continental was essentially a hand-built personal luxury vehicle from 1939-42, and continued to be so upon its post-war run as well. Like most of Detroit’s 1946 models, the Continental had some minor visual differences from the previous version, with a “mouth organ” grille replacing straight bars, and different bumpers. The Continental steering wheel and gauge faces were burgundy and the dash trim was now chrome instead of gold tinted. Interiors were leather and whipcord or custom cloth.
The 1946 Lincoln Continental paced the Indy 500, driven by Henry Ford II, and 201 Cabriolets and 265 coupes were built that year. Its $4,400 base price made it one of the most expensive domestic vehicles for the year.
Production resumed in earnest in 1947 and 738 Continental convertibles and 831 coupes were built, offered in 12 colors, with 3 interior color options. The V-12 engine now had a bigger sump with six quarts of oil, and exterior changes were limited to hubcaps and hood ornament.
The 1948 model year was the last appearance of the Lincoln V-12 engine and the last Continental until 1956 Continental Mark II. Sales continued to be brisk, with 847 coupes and 452 Cabriolets finding buyers. Lincoln’s venerable side-valve V-12 would give way to a truck-based, 337cid V-8 in 1949 in the new slab-sided Cosmopolitan.
Nos acercabamos ayer a la gran vía de Villaverde, Rubio, Dieguez y yo, cuando el aviso llegaba: "logitren con dos japos por rebolledo". El Auris con la Itv recién pasada se dió la vuelta y raudo y veloz se presentó en la base de Raxell. Allí nos alcanzó Raclav, que confirmó que la logitren, era realmente la 333.3 de LCR, ex Acciona. Dieguez no salía de su asombro, que aumentó al ver el 308 de la famosa constru rail moverse por el puente de Raxell, bajo la mirada atenta del Zephir de Continental.
Llegó tras pocos minutos, que se hicieron eternos (casi 1 hora) la prima, que entró de cabeza cual Vinicius ante una defensa mal puesta, con las dos japos; lo que obligó al 308 a hacer una maniobra sandwich con las varias japos, con más grafitis que pantógrafos.
Tras eso pillaríamos un mcdonalds, pero eso es otra historia.
Un saludo al majo personal de Raxell, que se lo pasa bomba con su material aficionado-friendly
Seguimos con más imágenes de unos agradables días en Cantabria donde pude recorrer parte del angosto trazado que discurre entre las estaciones de Pesquera y Montabliz paralelo al río Besaya.
En la imagen la 333.314 alquilada a Continental Rail sirviendo tracción al SINTRA de la campaña otoñal.
PD; Si acudís a esta preciosa zona, cosa que recomiendo no debéis dejar de ir a comer al mesón ´´El Ventorrillo´´
Con motivo de la XIII Concentración de Coches Clásicos en TORRENT (Valencia) organizada por el Club de Automoción Horta Clàssics, www.hortaclassics.es y a pesar de que la iluminación no era la más adecuada (bastantes contrastes) pudimos tomar imágenes de algunos bonitos coches, entre ellos, este LINCOLN CONTINENTAL del año 1942.

On the occasion of the XIII Concentration of Classic Cars in TORRENT (Valencia) organized by the Horta Clàssics Automotive Club, and although the lighting was not the most adequate (many contrasts) we could take pictures of some beautiful cars, among them, this LINCOLN CONTINENTAL from the year 1942.
