It's brutally hot today so let's cool off with something from February on a brutal day at the opposite end of the temperature spectrum!
Four hours after leaving North Conway the Conway Scenic Railroad's plow train has won the battle as they punch thru the deep rock cut at the Gateway with ex Lamoille Valley (originally Central Vermont) Russell snowplow 4211 leading the way. They are at MP 84.5 (as measured from Portland) on the old Maine Central Mountain Subdivision and when they reach 1900 ft elevation at the summit of the line at Crawford Notch depot just a half mile ahead they will have climbed some 1400 ft in the 25 miles since leaving North Conway on a grade of up to 2.2%.
CSRR GP38s 255 and 252 providing the horsepower are right at home here having been built in November 1966 for the Maine Central Railroad as part of an order of 13 of the model which were the first batch of second generation diesel locomotives purchased by the road. 255 came to Conway Scenic in 2022 and still wears her Vermont Rail System red paint from her nearly two decade second career as Clarendon & Pittsford 203 after having being sold by MEC successor Guilford Transportation in the early 1990s. 252 meanwhile was the last one in service on successor Guilford Transportation, lasting more than three decades, and having seen her other dozen siblings retired and scrapped or sold. She came to Conway Scenic in March 2010 along with GP35 216 in a trade with Pan Am Railways for FP9s 6505 and 6516 that would become Pan Am's OCS power.

Si può considerare veramente libero un uomo che ha fame, che è nella miseria, che non ha un lavoro, che è umiliato perché non sa come mantenere i suoi figli e educarli? Questo non è un uomo libero. Sandro Pertini
This summer one of the main topics on our holiday was the temperature. We were traveling with family from the Philippines but even for them it was hot!
So you can imagine that we were a little bit jealous of the statue in the fountain. She looked so cool ;-)
Enjoy!

The flying foxes in Adelaide can get stressed with heat. Anything above 40C (104F) and they often seek to cool themselves off by skimming the water of the River Torrens.
If you look closely you can see this one has a small baby clinging on underneat
The weather is heating up in DC this week; this Gray Catbird had just finished cooling off in the stream at Monticello Park when I took this shot.
Thanks for the favorites and comments, To see more birds from the DC area, you are welcomed to view my BIRDS ALBUM: www.flickr.com/gp/gary_w_house/ShLSh1
With the forthcoming snow forecast for today in various parts of the UK, I thought I'd share this image of an 'Igloo' that had been skilfully built when I was trackside, near Oxenhope, on Saturday 11th March 2023 - day three of the excellent Keighley and Worth Valley Railway's Steam Gala.
During the preceding Thursday, the area experienced a heavy snowfall resulting in varying depths of over one foot deep. The snow was durable enough to build such structures as well as an abundant array of 'Snow People'!
Who knows with further snowfalls, in the coming days, similar structures might appear!
Hanging out with the cool kids!
This Blythe doll is Tokyo Bright for “‘Tis the Season” on Facebook. Every year my snowman collection gets a little bigger.
Ahaahhahaha ^_^
Well, since her body is broken, she tipped over, and then this happened, and it reminded me of gangsters, so... yeah XP
Then, i edited it all weird to make it look cool XD
It started after my sumptuous lunch with “gulai kawah” (A gourmet beef stew originated from the state of Kelantan) in Greenwood, Kuala Lumpur yesterday. Instead of heading back to office, I decided to drive deeper in the outskirt of the town in Gombak, for no apparent purpose.
I ended up in Rebutia Camp, some 30 km from my office, a place renowned for camping activity and concentrated learning center likened to “Summer Camp”.
The place is so calm and unruffled that you’d forget minutes before, you were in the chaotic of the city life.
I tried to take a few shots but it had been an exasperating exertion when all shots were not to my satisfactory. Maybe the message was; I should have just sat there quietly, chill out, enjoy the serenity of the place and back to work after I got fully recharged.
At least it takes the edge off my disappointment a wee bit after seeing the lovely faces of the kids playing in the water in one of the shots, albeit, it’s still not to my penchant as far as photography is concerned.
Id packed my gear away for the night as the wind was howling and made it really difficult to make photographs. I had gone back to my car and noticed this broken tree branch further along the lake , As you can see i decided to go take a look
;-)
I used a Lee little stopper to make this long exposure and dug my tripod legs into the soft mud beneath the water , Then huddled round my camera to stop the wind moving it !!

One of the amazing places we came across while in Louisville earlier this month. We knocked and knocked and called but no one was there. I did read where none of this is for sale but golly gosh I would have loved to meet the man who has this collection All the photos embedded in the comments are public if you would like to check them out in more detail.
A slightly different composition of my Moraine Lake shot, touched up from a RAW shot in HDR. I brought out more tonal range but tried to keep the HDR to a minimum

Have a great weekend! :¬)
Definitely the best vegan donuts I have ever had...their vegan nutella and custard was out of this world...a close second would be Voodoo Doughnuts but there are more vegan options there and the donuts are named after bands, which is super cool. Highly recommended if you are in Los Angeles!

This heat wave that started in July has not ended yet. Temperatures will be averaging 35°C again this week with the humidity. This duck has the right idea for staying cool.
Have a wonderful week Flickr friends. Tina & the Puglets xo

Kahn in the old Terrace Falls Baths. It was hot and humid so he needed to cool off near the end of our walk.
