Continuing the theme of Autumn's bounty, this time the gorgeous red berries of the Hawthorn trees. Considering how dry this year has been I'm amazed at how prolific our trees have been in producing their fruits.
A very happy 2013 to you all.
Thank you for all your visits to my photostream, for your comments, messages and kind words. I truly appreciate you all taking time.
May this new year be a happy and healthy one for you all.
Continuing with the rediscovered memory card from last summer. I have been using iPhoto to process this and the previous two shots. I never really bothered with iPhoto before now but it is actually quite useful for doing quick edits. I'm quite impressed with it overall.

Continuing with my Positive Flags of the Nations project.
Today I want to address the beauty of children and their innocence and want to remind each one of us, that it is our duty to protect them all, no matter their background. We can and must help ALL children.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
First time seeing an ex-CP GP20C working these parts.
CPKC's LESGOJ (UP's name for it; I never heard the CPKC symbol) takes headroom on the southbound main at Valley Junction, East St. Louis, IL after a lengthy wait for passing UP traffic. The lingering snow is a result of winter storm Blair that intermittently dumped rain, sleet, ice, and snow throughout the St. Louis metroplex last weekend, a mess that Missouri and Illinois DOTs have yet to fully dig out from.
Continuing with fall wildlife sightings, I had a brief photo op with this Moose on a dull, dull morning a few days ago. I believe it's a calf, and I believe its mother was in the thicket... so I declined to follow it in after it disappeared. I didn't want to wade across the river, and I had no desire to get stomped for my efforts. There are times when I happily accept what has been offered, and move on.

Monarchs continue pouring through North Georgia - both at the river and here at home. We had half a dozen Monarchs at the river yesterday and another one at home. We've been getting about one Monarch a day in my zinnias - that's a lot compared to most years. Plenty of other butterflies at the river - so you'll be seeing photos long after they're gone.
>> Monarch on pink zinnia - dangling in my flowers - two days ago
The Monarchs at the river yesterday looked fresh (photos soon!) - they have to make it to Mexico and survive till next Spring. I reached out and touched one of the Monarchs - like touching a miracle in the works. Amazing!
Looking across the Lustrafjord as the last light of the setting sun marks its path along the opposite slope across the water. Taken from the window of a bed & breakfast on this wonderful arm of the Sognefjord – Norway's largest, and a UNESCO world heritage site.
Thanks for stopping by, and for all of the continued kind comments and favorites. It is much appreciated.
Continuing the theme, but a different island, Inis Meain, and maybe not quite so apocalyptic - though still distinctly sinister!

Door continue uitbreiding van haar loccenbestand kan TX Logistics haar intermodale diensten uit Zweden en Noorwegen transit door Denemarken rijden tot diep in Duitsland. Voor de treinen naar Italië bestaat logischerwijs nog een locwissel in Duitsland; de treinen naar Herne worden inmiddels wel tot de eindbestemming door een in Zweden toegelaten loc getrokken. Alleen voor treinen met Deense herkomst of bestemming wordt nog tractie ingehuurd bij Railcare.
Tegen het vallen van de avond op 9 maart passeert de TXL 185 408 ter hoogte van Belm met trein 45699 van Malmö Gbg naar Herne.
Continuing on the theme, able to take the M5 and split between the northern part and southern part of the Rockies (Canadian and Colorado). This was the last roll until I had to send the camera away for a full CLA and meter repair, for which it was clearly due being in the wild for sometime. Lots of hiking but well worth it. Most of the time was overcast but did the best I could to capture with suboptimal light. I was inspired as usual with the flickeranians who do so well in the most trying of conditions - thanks for the continued inspiration!
Continuing this brief series of cool sights I saw on a single morning outing to Grasslands, the park at my doorstep. These two Moose with their calves were a surprise; I tend to see moose more often in fall and winter. And last year there was considerable noise and commotion as contractors built a new bridge across the Frenchman River - resulting in many wildlife species, including moose, steering clear of the area until things settled down.
But.. they're ba-ack!
I'm so happy. They add an extra touch of wildness to the prairie landscape. Twenty-four years ago, when I first spent some extended time hanging out in this place, moose were a rare sighting. In the interim, they have arrived to occupy the valley, and other prairie locations, too; biologists are not sure why.
My theory? They find ample food and shelter here, where there are no natural predators, no hunting, and an abundance of peace and quiet. Essentially these are the same reasons I moved here full time in 2011. I'd like to think I'm smarter than the average moose. But maybe I'm not.
More to come...

I first visited Svartifoss back in March 2012, but hadn't been for a few years, so decided to do the short uphill walk to see it again. When I first went it was possible to clamber over the rocks and get right up underneath the basalt columns, but with the influx of visitors the flora was getting damaged and now it's strictly one path in and out. This means that the options for composition are limited, but it's for the best. Hopefully with the lack of tourists in the past year it will have recovered a bit, and will continue to do so.

Continuing my West Cork series, this image was taken at twilight over Bantry Bay as the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean.
This is @mr.pose_one and @wolf3111 last tribute to the guys that passed away. As it was supposed to be we had to do it! The system cant break us! We will continue the fight!

Hey guys, I need your input on this. Should I try and get back into the hobby? And if I do, should I continue mainly being a customizer rather than a builder or should I try to build more to get better with mocs, scenes, and so forth. I really want to get back I to the hobby of Lego, but just don't know what to focus on.

... the Light and Color
A masterpiece of popular architecture, the Carrasqueira pier is unique in Europe, built on seemingly fragile irregular wooden stakes of the 1950s and 1960s, which serve as mooring for the fishing boats that lay there, sometimes buried in the mud or in the water, according to the tides.
Despite the degradation, the dock continues to fulfill the mission for which it was built: allow access to boats of fishermen, even during the low seas.
Integrated into the nature reserve of the Sado Estuary, the riverside village preserves an impressive network of staking that stretches hundreds of meters along the muddy estuaries of the river Sado.
A tourist attraction point, it is one of the most visited places in the municipality of Alcácer do Sal and one of the most famous spot for landscape photographers in Portugal.

This one comes from an early Sunday morning not too long ago. Normally, I am not in such a hurry to shoot the sunrise in the streets on Sunday as I like to have some quiet time for myself, but having a Canon EOS 5Ds to test with pretty much sealed the deal that I was out the door as soon as a crack of light showed. The tricky thing about Sunday morning for me is that for some Saturday night hasn't ended yet....making for a little bit of a mess if someone gets the wrong idea seeing me, the big guy, with a camera pointed toward them!
Overall, on this particular morning it was fairly quiet and I was somewhat alone and enjoying the peace. Eventually I came across this gentleman who looked like he was a bit reluctant to let Saturday become Sunday, but with the sun on his back almost pushing him up the hill he saw me shooting and smiled super wide at me, spilling his kabob and proclaiming at the top of his voice " D O B R AN O C DUDE" laughed, swayed and continued on his way. As did I. :)

Continuing the story. Did everything go wrong that day? The balloon shown in the previous photos has failed.
When, like other viewers, I moved away from the take-off site, I saw numerous balloons in the sky. The starts from the remaining places were successful. The sight of numerous balloons in the sky compensated for the earlier disappointment a little.
The photo shows one of the many balloons flying over the city.
In this approach, I also liked the consistency of colors - a yellow balloon for warm air, a yellow t-shirt of a random passer-by and all this decorated with warm yellow light of the late afternoon.
I end this photo with a series of balloons.
Been away from my computer a lot for the last few days. Just got back to it. Got sunsets for weather 10a240 looking pretty good I thought :)
Opethfeldt 7 unofficial update WIP
Continuing with the tree obsession... the well-known tunnel of Cypress trees at Point Reyes California is beautiful in any light, but I think at its best when shrouded in the fog that is so common on the headlands in late summer. Again, a subject I've photographed many times but never caught quite the right fog for my liking. I think this was my 5th or 6th time trying here, most of the previous times having either no fog at all or fog so dense I couldn't see more than 20 feet.
I've always loved the magnificent building at the end of the tunnel road, and I've long thought it was an old coast guard station, but that isn't quite right. It is in fact an old radio listening station (www.nps.gov/pore/planyourvisit/kph_treetunnel.htm), and is open to visiting public with its world war II era equipment on display. These Monterey Cypress trees are of course a staple of the northern pacific coast, but this tree tunnel is a unique opportunity to see so many mature trees.
I always enjoy the drive up to Point Reyes from San Francisco, and had a few hours to kill in the morning before a flight back home. Since there was a lot of fog in the area I decided I'd head for the Marin Headlands at sunrise, hoping for the elusive shot of the Golden Gate poking through the fog. However, the fog layer on this day was too high up and too thick so the bridge was not visible, and so my backup plan was to keep on motoring up to Point Reyes and hope for the fog to be doing its thing around the cypress tunnel. Luckily I was rewarded this time! I'm a little bummed though because now I have less reason to do the drive, and I really do love this area. I'm guessing this won't be my last visit up here.
I have to add my personal thanks to Kevin Benedict for his (always) helpful suggestions on composition. I often let myself get distracted by small touches in a scene that I like and lose sight of what makes the image compelling for someone else, and having another set of eyes to set me straight is extremely valuable.
Continuing on my Japan photos, here's one from another airport, Haneda Airport in Tokyo. I took this back in 2007 as well so I'm not sure if this design is still there.
We are having continued hot weather, which always knocks me out! Today, it is supposed to get up to 28C (to feel like 30C). My place is feeling like an oven (no air-conditioning) after the last few hot days, and this is expected to continue for a few more days. A Heat Warning is still in effect and there is also a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.
No matter how many times I see one of these owls and no matter how many hundreds/thousands of photos I've taken of them, each owl is as exciting as the very first. I don't remember seeing a Great Gray Owl SW of the city since our May Species Count in 2014.
Before early 2016, the most 'recent' Great Grays that I had seen and photographed was one that was a rare visitor to the city - found in Fish Creek Park for a while and my last photos of it were taken on 18 February 2014. There was also a Great Gray at Griffith Woods, Calgary, and some of my photos were taken on 10 February 2014. Saw another owl on our May Species Count SW of the city on 25 May 2014. Many of my 'best' sightings and photos of Great Grays were taken NW of Calgary, the last dates being 28 March 2013 and 5 May 2013. So, after 25 May 2014 .... nothing until early 2016, NW of the city. Until 8 days ago!!
I decided that for once, I would go out in an evening to look for one of these magnificent birds of prey. Unfortunately, heavy black clouds were already starting to build, with patches of blue sky still showing. Once I hit the main highway, the rain started and continued till I got back home. I was determined to go and check out the various places where I had seen these owls just a few years ago. The two separate owls I found were not far from previous sightings - one along the main road and the other was flying over a distant field. Both were focused on hunting. The first owl flew from post to post, searching for prey. Not a place I particularly wanted to stop, as a number of cars did drive by - had my blinkers turned on. Almost the whole time, I was sitting in my car, with rain pouring in through the open passenger window - but, hey, it's for an OWL! I did get out for maybe three or so minutes, as I know from too much experience that many shots taken from inside my car don't come out. Must have looked rather silly, standing in the rain, to people going by, lol.
Feeling so happy, I decided to drive again along a different area, just to check one last time before going home. That's when I noticed a large bird way off in the distance, flying over a field. I was amazed when it eventually flew to a tree within camera reach and then even more surprised when it flew to a fairly close fence post, which is when I took this shot. Fully zoomed, Focal Length (35mm format) - 1200 mm. The owls looked rather wet and a little wind-blown in most of my photos, but, needless to say, I went home feeling thrilled to bits. I don't remember ever seeing an owl shake the rain off its feathers just like a dog shakes off water.
"Although the Great Gray Owl is the tallest American owl with the largest wingspan, it is just a ball of feathers. It preys on small mammals and has relatively small feet. Both the Great Horned and Snowy owls weigh half again as much, and have larger feet and talons. The oldest recorded Great Gray Owl was at least 18 years, 9 months old and lived in Alberta." From AllABoutBirds.
Continuing the Slovakian theme with PSZ 770 538, seen here leading a rake of RTI self discharging hoppers. CHME3's as they are known on the 1520 gauge are a loco I don't think I'll ever tire of seeing and was quite the welcome sight on standard gauge rails.

Continuing south, the train approaches Sutton Junction, where the one-time Drummondville Sub up to its namesake city via Foster (junction with the Sherbrooke Sub) diverged to the north. To avoid confusion with the nearby town of Sutton, the junction was later renamed to Enlaugra - a portmanteau of Enid, Laura and Grace, names of the daughters of a local CPR official.

Continuing the Burscough theme,the town has 2 stations - this one on the Preston-Ormskirk line and Burscough Bridge on the Wigan-Southport line.There was a link between the lines which was closed many years ago but plans to rebuild this come up regularly.The sidings were for a MOD depot which closed in 1996 but I think rail traffic had finished before then - actually Oct 1981 from info supplied by Shed Loop

Happy Miniature Sunday!
Here is some sparkling blue hour in my miniature Toy-ronto. You can tell by the snowy roofs how blue-purplish the sky was :-)
More of miniature fun is coming- stay tuned / bientot a l'ecran!
As long as these continue to remain in the area, the photographs must continue. Photographed on an expired Aster plant on the grounds at Strawberry Plains Audubon Center in Holly Springs, Mississippi.
