As some of you know, The Walking Dead is filmed in my area. Lots of zombie signs and such right now in the area. Didn't see any zombies, however.
Marsh's Crossing level crossing across Burtonhead Road in St Helens with a British Railways Associated Rail Technologies (body built by Leyland Bus Limited, under frame built by British Rail Engineering Limited) class 142 two car diesel-mechanical railbus unit of Newton Heath TMD passing over on the Wigan to Huyton line.

Marsh's Crossing signal box was located in front of the wire mesh fence on the right, and was a London and North Western Railway type 4 design fitted with a 15 lever London and North Western Railway Tumber frame. Sometime between June 1953 and October 1954 the goods lines between Ravenhead Junction and Marsh's Crossing signal boxes, which were previously worked with no block or bell were redesignated as sidings. However, Marsh's Crossing signal box remained a block post as it was the staff station for the Menzies Siding line and the Eccleston Branch. The Eccleston Branch closed on 10th October 1967 and the signal box was closed on 25th February 1979 when the level crossing was converted to a trainman operated crossing

One of the reasons to travel to Masai Mara was to witness the crossing of Wildebeest. Something extraordinary to watch and high on my short list!
In this period of year Wildebeest and zebra tend to migrate from Tanzania to Kenya or at least cross the river to find fresh grass. A period also with regular rains.
We spend a whole day watching a gathering of Wildebeest near our bush camp while lions waited at our side for the crossing. Although they moved in and out a couple of times, at the end of the day we left with a great experience but without the crossing!
In the days thereafter we witnessed a great build up of Wildebeest and the crossing of approximately 7,000/10,000 Wildebeest at a point of the Mara river with extremely steep banks.
Being pushed forward by so many other Wildebeest we saw many of them descending in a more or less save manner while other Wildebeest "jumped" from the edge breaking legs when landing on the ground. Awesome became awful!
Lucky enough they quickly found several other ways to come down in a more or less save way enabling them to safely cross the river. A river surprisingly without waiting crocodiles! We just saw one at distance taking a wildebeest down under water!

namaxsala is inspired by a story told to the artist, Mary Anne Barkhouse, by her grandfather Fred Cook. In the story, her grandfather helps a wolf cross a treacherous piece of water in a boat, on the West coast of Canada. “My grandfather’s stories always offered an alternative view for considering the world around me,” the artist remembers. “And so, I relate one of them here, to help negotiate cooperation with the ‘other’ and inclusion of the wild.”
MARY ANNE BARKHOUSE
Mary Anne Barkhouse was born in Vancouver, BC and belongs to the ‘Namgis band, Kwagiulth First Nation. She is a descendant of a long line of internationally recognized Northwest Coast artists that includes Ellen Neel, Mungo Martin and Charlie James. She graduated with Honours from the Ontario College of Art in Toronto and has studied extensively with noted silversmith Lois Etherington Betteridge. She has exhibited widely across Canada and the United States.
Working with a variety of materials, Barkhouse examines environmental concerns and indigenous culture through the use of animal imagery. A member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, Barkhouse’s work can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, Mendel Art Gallery, Mackenzie Art Gallery, Art Bank of the Canada Council for the Arts, UBC Museum of Anthropology, Macdonald Stewart Art Centre, Banff Centre for the Arts and the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. In addition, she has public art installations at Thunder Bay Art Gallery, McMaster Museum of Art (Hamilton, ON), University of Western Ontario (London, ON), McMichael Canadian Art Collection (Kleinberg, ON), Robert McLaughlin Gallery (Oshawa, ON), Macdonald Stewart Art Centre (Guelph, ON) Haliburton Sculpture Forest (Haliburton, ON) and the Millennium Walkway in Peterborough, Ontario.
Barkhouse currently resides in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario.

My first Fence Friday! Not sure why I've never got round to joining up before! I recognise some familiar names and hoping to get to know a few more; looking forward to fences becoming part of my weekly Flickr routine (which is slowly taking over all my free time!)
This was just down the lane from my house when I took the kids out for a walk. Liked the parallel lines of the barbed wire and wooden fence.
Anyway, Happy Fence Friday everyone!

Nearly 180 degree view of the "Kriegs Crossing" bike bridge over the Cedar River in Cedar Falls Iowa. it connects Pfeifer Springs park with George Wyth state park. I believe the bridge is named for Jim Krieg who was the interstate substitution manager for the metro area back in the 1990's and is now the general manager of the Cedar Falls Utilities
Berkshire and Eastern Railroad train ED9 has finally arrived at its destination where they will interchange with the Pioneer Valley Railroad and work Sullivan Scrap. They dropped their train up in front of the passenger station at the north end of what remains of the former Boston and Maine yard and have run light to the south end to run around. They are seen just south of the North Canal Street grade crossing at about MP S7.3 on the Conn River Mainline in this view taken from beside the Pioneer Valley Railroad's connecting track. The stone arches carry the former Connecticut River Railroad over the water of the Third Level Canal. To see another view of the PV here check out this shot: flic.kr/p/2o9SGrK for reference I'm standing right beside where the yellow center beam is in this older photo.
Looking nothing like the the old Pan Am, ED9 features two 'new' units brought in by Genesee and Wyoming, the B&E's parent. Leading is Bay Line 3018 an EMD GP40-2 originally blt. Oct. 1973 as DTI 418. BAYL became part of the Genesee and Wyoming family in 2005 when the holding company purchased parent Rail Management Corp. which itself had purchased the former Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay Railroad from Stone Container Corp. in 1994. Trailing is OVR 3029 a GP40-2W blt. May 1974 as CN 9426 and dressed in GWRR orange lettered for the Ottawa Valley Railrod.
Since Berkshire and Eastern Railroad has taken over operation of the Pan Am Southern property operations seem to have gotten much more predictable and consistent. At least outwardly their appears to be a bit more hustle and business seems to be on the uptick so hears hoping this this is a harbinger of even bigger and better things to come for the west end of the old Boston and Maine!

Crossing along the Forney Creek Trail, Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The trail includes several crossings, none of which are too terrible in typical weather (and none were bad during this trip, even considering the abnormally high rain lately). I've found that hiking in Chacos (or other water shoes) works best...most people spend an inordinate amount of time changing out of boots, or try hoping from rock to rock (which inevitably ends up soaking your boots or worse).
