A gravestone at our parish cemetery. The word "contract" is not to be found on this stone, it is my interpretation of the image. There are occasions in the Hebrew Bible and in the New Testament where the relationship between God and humanity can be understood as a contractual one. Theologically, this would raise all sorts of questions. However, it must also be said that when the tribes and nations of Northern and Western Europe converted to Christianity they did so in the belief of "do ut des" (I am giving to you so that you give to me), that is, they assumed that God would keep his promise as long as they kept theirs. If I am not mistaken, this assumption is still today tacitly underlying a lot of Christian life in the West. The handshake on this stone I see as its visual expression . Fuji X-E3.
The contract brush cutter on the New Hampshire Northcoast is just about finished clearing the main line, this combined with some additional efforts by a certain employee have made the Union Meadows causeway look as good this spring as it probably has since construction of the railroad! Up until relatively recent times this causeway had high brush and trees growing on it, making it completely unshootable. With the freshly rebuilt GP38-2 back on the train this week, albeit in the middle of the consist, combined with decent weather it was a good time to shoot the causeway before the brush starts creeping back up. With 2 loads for Rochester and 25 loads for Boston the three units are having no trouble making track speed despite a late start from Ossipee.

A new year, renewing contract. She signed herself into my power. Every letter, every stroke of her pen was a surrender—her breath, her thoughts, her very essence now bound to my will. She is no longer just an amazing capable woman; she is a vessel, a creation of my command, ready to be shaped, molded, and used. Her soul dances to my rhythm, and in her submission, I find my absolute control. She belongs to me —completely, utterly, and without question.
Het is 15:11 als Lineas 101002+2105 met een lege Dolimetrein door De Punt komen, op weg als trein 47627 naar Hermalle-Sous-Huy.
-Informatie-
Datum: 31-01-21
Plaats: Ydermade, De Punt
Van/naar: Veendam -> Hermalle-Sous-Huy
Vervoerder: Lineas
Locs: 101002+2105
Trein: Dolimetrein
Treinnumer: 47627
-Vervoerder-
Lineas rijdt in Nederland en België verschillende goederentreinen. Een aantal daarvan is kleinere (buurt) goederentreinen. Lineas (vroeger B-logistics) is in een aantal jaar flink gegroeid. In 2019 heeft het spoor bedrijf het Dolime-vervoer tussen Hermalle en Veendam overgenomen van DB Cargo. De Belgische spoorvervoerder reed voor de Corona-crisis 4 Dolimetreinen per week. Doordat er van de gemeente geen tweede bunker in dienst mag worden genomen en de normale bunker telkens vol zit is de productie gehalveerd. Sindsdien rijdt de vervoerder gemiddeld 2 treinen per week. De extra-wagenset is naar mijn weten weer teruggegeven aan de eigenaar, die is namelijk toch niet meer nodig.
-Foto-
Lineas heeft op 1 januari 2019 het Dolimevervoer tussen Hermalle-Sous-Huy en Veendam overgenomen van DB-Cargo. De Belgische vervoerder reed met een koppel 7700den. Lineas heeft het contract weer voor 2 jaar gewonnen, dat betekend dat de vervoerder nog tot 1 januari 2023 het Dolimevervoer rijdt. Uiteraard is het rijden met diesel onder de draad niet echt schoon, tevens kunnen de locs de dienstregeling niet aan. Daarom huurt Lineas vanaf 13 december 2020 2 vervoerders in. TCS rijdt met een ex-NS 1700 onder de draad. IRP rijdt met een G2000 het laatste stuk van Onnen naar Veendam. Deze loc staat de hele week in Onnen. Lineas rijdt met een koppel 7700den het stuk tussen de Belgische groeve en Sittard.
Na een drukke periode met weinig tijd voor treinen foto's is het vandaag wel weer eens tijd voor een foto. De afgelopen periode zijn er niet veel foto's gemaakt. De foto's die wel zijn gemaakt zijn het delen niet waard.
In het koude weekend van 30/31 januari 2021 reed de Dolimetrein weer een slag naar Veendam. Na aankomt op zaterdagavond in Veendam is besloten de trein de volgende ochtend pas te lossen. Zondagochtend werd er vroeg begonnen maar door de vorst ging het lossen niet heel voorspoedig. Na de hele ochtend rond Haren te hebben geblauwbekt werd er na de lunch maar richting De Punt gefietst. Nadat de trein in 6 (!) uur was gelost vertrok de trein rond 14:30 uit Veendam. Tegen 14:55 kwam de trein aan in Onnen en na een locwissel vertrok de trein na een klein kwartiertje alweer uit Onnen!
Loc 101002 heeft een de haak de 2105 en een korte lege Dolimetrein bestaande uit 17 wagens. De trein rijdt tot Sittard, hier nemen 2 7700'den de trein over. Deze foto was het lange wachten wel waard! Na de foto kon er dus ook tevreden naar huis worden gefietst en kon er weer verder worden geleerd.

66027 heads 4S35, the 1407 Seaforth – Mossend through the Lune Gorge on 19 July 2018. Introduced earlier this year, DB Cargo are reportedly expecting to pick up more contracts as the year goes on.
The loading on this train apparently varies quite a lot, it would have to be a light load when I went for it!
Excerpt from lighthousefriends.com:
William Chisholm served as one of the commissioner charged with overseeing the construction of the Burlington Canal, and in 1827, he convinced Lieutenant Governor Peregrine Maitland to auction off 960 acres of land at the mouth of Sixteen Mile Creek that had been reserved for the Mississauga Ojibwa Indians. Chisholm won the auction in the summer of 1827 at a cost of £1,029, and within a year, he had laid out the town of Oakville and built a warehouse.
In February 1837, the government of Upper Canada appropriated £500 for erecting a lighthouse at Oakville, and appointed three men, one of whom was William Chisholm, to oversee the project. The commissioners provided the following report following the completion of the lighthouse:
The Commissioners advised with several of the Masters of Vessels, respecting the proper place to erect the Light-house, and after due consideration, the end of the Pier was decided upon. To make the foundation sufficient, it was found necessary to sink three additional cribs.
The foundation was commenced on the 22nd of August, 1837, and with the Light-house, was completed on the 1st day of November, 1838, and has, since that time, been regularly lighted.…
The cost of the lighthouse, a wooden, octagonal tower with a height of thirty-six feet, came to £852, with William Chisholm paying for the £352 overrun.
It is likely that William Chisholm oversaw the keeping of the lighthouse as part of his responsibilities as collector of customs.
Robert Chisholm followed in his father’s footsteps and became responsible for the port upon his father’s death. By 1866, Robert was serving as lighthouse keeper, a position he held until he was superannuated in 1894 at the age of seventy-five.
The demise of the first Oakville Lighthouse was noted in the report of the Department of Marine for 1886:
The great easterly storm of the 7th April last destroyed the east pier at the entrance of Oakville Harbour, Lake Ontario, and carried away, with the pier, the lighthouse standing upon its outer end. A temporary light was immediately thereafter established on the beach beside the inner end of the pier, and at the present entrance to the harbour. It consists of a fixed white light, shown from a tubular lantern, elevated on a mast 28 feet above the ordinary level of the lake, and should be visible 10 miles from all points of approach. Nothing can be done towards erecting a new lighthouse until the breakwater pier has been rebuilt.
The Public Works Department rebuilt the east pier in 1887, and the temporary light was moved to its outer end. That same year, John George of Port Elgin was awarded a $937-contract for erecting a new lighthouse on the pier.
The new lighthouse, a hexagonal wooden tower surmounted by an iron lantern, was placed in operation on June 4, 1888. A sixth-order lens was used in the lantern room of the tower to produce a fixed white light at an elevation of thirty-nine feet above the lake. The tower itself measure thirty-one feet from its base to the vane on its lantern, but it was placed atop a cribwork block that stood six-and-a-half feet above the pier.
Damage to the pier necessitated moving the lighthouse sixty feet shoreward in 1893 and another thirty-six feet the following year. In 1895, the tower was moved to the inner end of the pier to protect it.
After the pier was repaired, the tower was returned to the outer end of the east pier, where it served until 1960, when it was moved to the grounds of The Oakville Yacht Squadron and replaced by a cylindrical cement tower. Today, a cylindrical white tower with a red upper portion displays a flashing red light from the east pier.

The San Pietro di Muralto Altarpiece or San Pietro degli Osservanti Altarpiece is a 1488-1489 tempera and gold on panel altarpiece by Carlo Crivelli and his studio, named after the Dominican church in Camerino in which it originally hung, and now divided between a number of American and European museums.
On 8 November 1483 the artist committed to paint a multi-panel altarpiece for Mariano Ronci as large and beautiful as the 1482 San Domenico di Camerino Altarpiece. The work was not produced quickly, but on 28 October 1488 he signed a contract with Ronci's heir Mariano Meneconi by which he was given a year to paint it in return for 100 florins paid in instalments.
The work had already been moved to the church of San Francesco in Camerino by the start of the 16th century after its original home was turned into a fort by Cesare Borgia's occupying forces. After an earthquake in 1799 destroyed or damaged several churches in the city, the work was moved to the church of San Domenico in the same town, from which it was looted by the French and moved with other masterpieces from the Marche to the Pinacoteca di Brera. On 14 February 1822, while reordering its collection, that museum's curators transferred it to Antonio Fidenza, who put it on the art market. It was sold by William Cunningham in London to Lord Dudley and later was acquired by the Gemäldegalerie in 1882. That main work, Madonna and Child Handing Saint Peter the Keys to Paradise, with Saints, is unsigned but on the basis of the documents and style is dated to the artist's final phase.
The main work features Saint Bonaventure, Francis of Assisi and Giovanni da Capestrano on the left and Louis of Toulouse, Saint Augustine and Blessed James of the Marches. As shown in 1961 by Federico Zeri, that work originally had a lunette of a Pietà with Mary Magdalene, John the Apostle and the Virgin Mary at the top (now in the Pinacoteca Vaticana in Rome) and a cornice of six small paintings showing seven saints, all of which was removed before it was taken to the Brera. Two of the frame panels showing Bonaventure and Bernard are also in the Gemäldegalerie, whilst the others are in the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht (Dominic and Anthony of Padua), the Palazzo Colonna in Rome (Saint Augustine) and the Worcester Art Museum (a single panel showing both Bernardino and Catherine of Siena)

I've had to go to Sebring FL three times in the past few weeks. Two hours away. It's where I lived when I moved here to The City Beautiful. I still owned a villa there, which I thought had been carefully rented for the past three years. It had not been cared for whatsoever. I was in the process of evicting the tenants for other reasons when Hurricane Irma came smashing through Highlands County the week before they were to vacate.
The City of Sebring sewer and water backed up into my villa. In addition to wind damage to the front porch and roof. Needless to say, aarrgghhh!
So $4,000 later, I at least got the wet stuff remediated by a wonderful Christian company (I used to go to church with them) and signed up with my new Christian real estate agent to sell this at last.
It's a God thing, and to make a long story shorter, this week was my last trip down to my trashed house. I got a very generous contract to purchase "as is" my tiny little villa in the hood. I was saved in this town almost eleven years ago, and my heart has been broken this past month. But I am counting my many, many blessings.
I'm still waiting for FEMA to show up and inspect (no hurricane coverage with my insurance) the damage before closing the sale.
Anyway, this is a shot of the Sebring Diner (one of my favorite places to eat there) with the telltale ravages of Hurricane Irma showing in the signage.
So lots of tears but I'm again on the mend from yet another heartache.
Counting my blessings and thankful for many things.

The Crucifixion of Saint Peter is a work by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, painted in 1601 for the Cerasi Chapel of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome. Across the chapel is a second Caravaggio work depicting the Conversion of Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus (1601). On the altar between the two is the Assumption of the Virgin Mary by Annibale Carracci.
The two lateral paintings were commissioned in September 1600 by Monsignor Tiberio Cerasi, Treasurer-General to Pope Clement VIII, who purchased the chapel from the Augustinian friars on 8 July 1600 and commissioned Carlo Maderno to rebuild the small edifice in Baroque style. The contract for the altarpiece with Carracci has not been preserved but it is generally assumed that the document had been signed somewhat earlier, and Caravaggio had to take into consideration the other artist's work and the overall iconographic programme of the chapel. Cerasi nourished a deep devotion towards Saint Peter and Paul, and invoked them in his will. Together the two saints represented the foundation of the Catholic Church, and they were called the Princes of the Apostles. Both had a strong connection to the city of Rome and the papacy. Caravaggio's paintings were thus intended to express Cerasi's attachment to the Church of Rome and his closeness to papal power. Their position in the chapel was important but the devotional focus was still on the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on the altar in the middle. The juxtaposition of the two scenes had a well-known precedent in the frescos of the Capella Paolina at the Apostolic Palace (1542–1549) but the paintings of Caravaggio were starkly different from the crowded Mannerist scenes of Michelangelo.
Although much has been said about the supposed rivalry between Carracci and Caravaggio, there is no historical evidence about any serious tensions. Both were successful and sought-after artists in Rome. Caravaggio gained the Cerasi commission right after his celebrated works in the Contarelli Chapel had been finished, and Carracci was busy creating his great fresco cycle in the Palazzo Farnese. In these circumstances there was little reason for them to regard each other as business rivals, states Denis Mahon.
The contract signed on 24 September 1600 stipulates that "the distinguished painter, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio" will paint two large cypress panels, ten palms high and eight palms wide, representing the conversion of Saint Paul and the martyrdom of Saint Peter within eight months for the price of 400 scudi. The contract gave a free hand to the painter to choose the figures, persons and ornaments depicted in the way as he saw fit, "to the satisfaction however of his Lordship", and he was also obliged to submit preparatory studies before the execution of the paintings. Caravaggio received 50 scudi as advance payment from the banker Vincenzo Giustiniani with the rest earmarked to be paid on completion. The dimensions specified for the panels are virtually the same as the size of the existing canvasses.
When Tiberio Cerasi died on 3 May 1601, Caravaggio was still working on the paintings, as attested by an avviso dated 5 May which mentioned that the chapel was being decorated by the hand of the "famosissimo Pittore", Michelangelo da Caravaggio. A second avviso dated 2 June proves that Caravaggio was still at work on the paintings a month later. He completed them sometime before 10 November when he received the final instalment from the heirs of Tiberio Cerasi, the Fathers of the Ospedale della Consolazione. The total compensation for the paintings was reduced to 300 scudi for unknown reasons.
The paintings were finally installed in the chapel on 1 May 1605 by the woodworker Bartolomeo who received four scudi and fifty baiocchi from the Ospedale for his work.

Sarasota is a city in Sarasota County on the southwestern coast of the U.S. state of Florida. The area is renowned for its cultural and environmental amenities, beaches, resorts, and the Sarasota School of Architecture. The city is at the southern end of the Tampa Bay Area, north of Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. Its official limits include Sarasota Bay and several barrier islands between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2019 Sarasota had a population of 58,285. In 1986 it became designated as a certified local government. Sarasota is the principal city of the Sarasota metropolitan area and is the seat of Sarasota County. Long the winter headquarters of the Ringling Brothers Circus, many landmarks in Sarasota are named for the Ringlings.
The Sarasota city limits contain several keys, including Lido Key, St. Armands Key, Otter Key, Casey Key, Coon Key, Bird Key, and portions of Siesta Key. Longboat Key is the largest key separating the bay from the gulf, but it was evenly divided by the new county line of 1921. The portion of the key that parallels the Sarasota city boundary that extends to that new county line along the bayfront of the mainland was removed from the city boundaries at the request of John Ringling in the mid-1920s, who sought to avoid city taxation of his planned developments at the southern tip of the key. Although they never were completed in the quickly faltering economy, those development concessions granted by the city never were reversed and the county has retained regulation of those lands.
The city limits had expanded significantly with the real estate rush of the early twentieth century, reaching almost 70 square miles (180 km2). The wild speculation boom began to crash in 1926 and following that, the city limits began to contract, shrinking to less than a quarter of that area.
The area is known today as Sarasota first appeared on a sheepskin Spanish map from 1763 with the word Zarazote over present-day Sarasota and Bradenton. From 1883 to 1885, The Florida Mortgage And Investment Company Of Edinburgh bought 60,000 acres for development in what is now the City of Sarasota. Many Scottish people began to arrive in Sarasota in December 1885. The municipal government of Sarasota was established when it was incorporated as a town in 1902. John Gillespie was the first Mayor.
Italian architecture and culture are quite strong in the area because of the Ringling Museum. An unusually large number of homes and buildings are designed in the Italian style, especially Venetian as influenced by Ringling's Cà d'Zan. Italian-inspired statues are also common and Michelangelo's David is used as the symbol of Sarasota.

Kolmanskop is Namibia's most famous ghost town, and is situated in the Sperrgebiet, (forbidden territory) a few kilometers inland from the port of Luderitz. In 1908, the railway worker Zacharias Lewala found a sparkling stone amongst the sand he was shoveling away from the railway line, near Kolmanskop. His supervisor August Stauch, was convinced it was a diamond and when this was confirmed, the news spread like wildfire, sparking a huge, frantic diamond rush and causing fortune hunters to converge in droves on Kolmanskop.
The town soon developed, becoming a bustling little centre and providing shelter for workers from the harsh environment of the Namib Desert. Large, elegant houses were built and it soon resembled a German town, complete with an impressive array of amenities including; a hospital, ballroom, power station, school, 4-lane skittle alley, theatre and sports hall, casino, ice factory and the first x-ray station in the southern hemisphere. Fresh meat could be purchased at the butcher's, there was a bakery, furniture factory, a public playground and even a swimming pool! At the time, there was also a railway line to Luderitz.
The development of Kolmanskop reached its pinnacle in the 1920's, but the town declined after World War 1, when diamond prices crashed. At this time approximately 300 German adults, 40 children and 800 Owambo contract workers lived in the town. In spite of, or probably because of, the isolation and bleakness of the surrounding desert, Kolmanskop developed into a lively little haven of German culture, offering entertainment and recreation to suit the requirements of the affluent colonialists.
Unfortunately for Kolmanskop and it's inhabitants, richer diamond deposits were discovered further south, and operations were moved to Oranjemund. Within a span of 40 years Kolmanskop lived, flourished and died. Today the ghost town's crumbling ruins bear little resemblance to its former glory. The stately homes have been nearly demolished by the wind, and are gradually becoming enveloped by encroaching sand dunes. In 1980, the mining company De Beers, restored a number of buildings, and established and interesting museum, which has now become a tourist attraction.

Out of all the days for a rare to stray, horrid whether meant that the outcome of this photo was a bit meh. Anyways, ENL74 is seen here on the 173, a midday contract breach which is unsurprising coming from DX. This will probably be the only time that this will happen till the route passes to Stagecoach London in October. This route is allocated double decker Enviro400s by the way.
OK, it's been done before. I get that. But it's also a compositional idea that appears simple and one I wanted to try for myself. With today a write-off through rain, I decided to give it a whack.
Two hours later I finally got the shot I envisaged, with the assistance of the kitchen bench, a black shirt, a torch, a tissue to muffle the torchlight, a ring, an old book by Balzac (the source of the title), a wireless remote, tripod, a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and a Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II lens.

The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II and the Korean War, among other conflicts. The Mustang was designed in April 1940 by a team headed by James H. Kindelberger of North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a requirement of the British Purchasing Commission. The Purchasing Commission approached North American Aviation to build Curtiss P-40 fighters under license for the Royal Air Force (RAF). Rather than build an old design from another company, North American Aviation proposed the design & production of a more modern fighter. The prototype NA-73X airframe was rolled out on 9 September 1940, 102 days after the contract was signed, and first flew on 26 October. The Mustang was designed to use the Allison V-1710 engine, which had limited high-altitude performance in its earlier variants. The aircraft was first flown operationally by the RAF as a tactical-reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber (Mustang Mk I). Replacing the Allison with a Rolls-Royce Merlin resulted in the P-51B/C (Mustang Mk III) model, and transformed the aircraft's performance at altitudes above 15,000 ft without sacrificing range and allowing it to compete with the German Luftwaffe's fighters. The definitive version, the P-51D (as seen in the photograph above), was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built version of the two-speed, two-stage supercharged Merlin 66, and was armed with six .50 caliber AN/M2 Browning machine guns.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
