"Avrei incontrato la Maga? Tante volte mi era bastato affacciarmi, arrivando da rue de Seine, all'arco che dà sul quai de Conti, e appena la luce di cenere e di olivo sospesa sul fiume mi lasciava distinguere le forme, subito la sua figurina sottile si disegnava sul Pont des Arts, qualche volta muovendosi da una parte all'altra, qualche altra ferma contro la ringhiera di ferro, china sull'acqua.
Ed era così naturale attraversare la strada, salire i gradini del ponte, penetrare nella sua sottile vita ed avvicinarmi alla Maga, che sorrideva senza sorpresa, convinta quanto me che incontrarsi per caso non era un caso nelle nostre vite, e che la gente che si dà appuntamenti precisi è la medesima che ha bisogno del foglio a righe per scriversi o che preme dal basso il tubetto del dentifricio.
Ma adesso lei non ci sarebbe stata, sul ponte. Il suo volto delicato dalla pelle quasi trasparente si affacciava forse ai vecchi portici del ghetto del Marais, forse stava chiaccherando con una venditrice di patate fritte o mangiando un salsicciotto caldo nel boulevard Sebastopol. Ad ogni modo salii sul ponte, e la Maga non c'era.
Adesso la Maga non era neppure sulla mia strada, e per quanto conoscessimo i nostri indirizzi, ogni vuoto delle nostre due stanze di falsi studenti a Parigi, ogni cartolina come una finestrella Braque o Ghirlandaio o Max Ernst stretta fra le povere modanature e la tappezzeria chiassosa, nonostante questo non saremmo andati a cercarci in casa. Preferivamo incontrarci sul ponte, al tavolino di un caffè, in un cineforum o curvi su un gatto in un qualsiasi cortile del quartiere latino.
Camminavamo senza cercarci pur sapendo che camminavamo per incontrarci."
Julio Cortázar, "Il gioco del mondo"

An aerial photo of the camp Moremi Crossing in midst of the Okavango Delta. Even though, the camp only consists of a main building with a large veranda and a few very comfortable tents, it is the biggest camp in the delta, and one of the most enchanted places I've ever have been. If you look for an extraordinary destination for your next trip, Moremi Crossing should definitely be on your list.
Topsham Level Crossing and Station on the Exmouth Branch,
There is a half hourly service and the trains cross here.
You can tell it must be a refined area with the signal box having net curtains.
In must be in a more privileged area than I am used to since there is a 30 minute service here and places the size of Oakham and Stamford only get one train an hour

Adder crossing the road in an Angus glen. My first sighting of one of these snakes despite many visits to the places where they are.
47326 works a mixed freight train including 08784 towards Cinderland Crossing near Altrincham on the 17th April 1985. I expect that 08784 was on the last leg of its journey from Swindon Works to Allerton depot following overhaul.
Wildebeests Crossing the Mara River - Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
For anyone who has the opportunity to see the wildebeests crossing the Mara River, it is a spectacle not to be missed! This is part of the annual migration, where 2.2 million wildebeests make their way up the Western Serengeti, north into Kenya, and then back down the Eastern Serengeti to the southern plains where their calves will be born. Crossing the Mara River is the most dangerous part of the journey, as hungry crocodiles are often lurking in the water looking for a meal!
For several days, we watched as thousands of wildebeests congregated on the opposite side of the river. We hoped and hoped that we would get to see them cross. On our last day, we parked under a tree, hidden in the shade well back from the banks so that we wouldn't scare the wildebeests from crossing (they spook very easily). Each time they would wander down the banks, and then go back up and stampede away from the river for no apparent reason, we would think of giving up. Perhaps this was not our lucky day. But our guide convinced us to stay, and after waiting patiently for a couple of hours in the midday heat, a brave wildebeest finally made the leap into the water. This was all they needed...once they go, they ALL go! We drove right up to the river banks for a front row view, knowing that the wildebeests were no longer concerned with our presence. Thousands of wildebeests stormed across the river in a spectacle of sight and sound that must to seen to be believed! When the dust settled, all who attempted to cross were safely on our side (well, as safe as you can be with lions roaming the savannah!). No crocodiles today....
27012 crossing the Forth bridge with 1517 Edinburgh to Dundee on Saturday 1st October 1983.
The BRC&W loco had only 32 months service left with BR after this photo and was withdrawn in May 1986, being cut up (as were many of the class) two years later in 1988 at Vic Berry's in Leicester.
The island to the right of the bridge is the uninhabited rock of Inchgarvie. The castle on it was built in 1513 and has was used as a prison and at one point, a place for plague victims to be contained.

With the recent snow slowly beginning to melt away, CrossCountry HST power car no. 43301 glides over the railway bridge at Broadholme, north of Belper, working 1V52 the 06:58 Edinburgh to Plymouth service. This is a shot I've been meaning to do for a while and I'm quite pleased with the result!
The CrossCountry HST fleet would be withdrawn within seven months of this photograph being captured.
A regulator that has been retrofitted with snow plows and a blower attachment for winter is about to drop down the South Junction lead in Montreal West. Here it is crossing Westminster avenue with the Montreal West tower in the background.
My 2011 JK crossing the Golden Crack, an obstacle on the Golden Spike trail near Moab, Utah. I placed my GoPro camera deep in the crack and drove over it. You get a good look at the underworking of the Jeep and you can see my front lockers doing their job.
Some people may remember watching a similar video a few years ago. I did the same thing once before. It's just too good not to post another one!

This trail offers a picturesque access to East Clear Creek, crossing the creek near a moderately deep section. There are excellent opportunities for fishing and sightseeing. Expect the trail to be steep and rocky in places.

On the other side there is a ridge. The area is called Djurgårdsplatån and there lies many older wooden houses.
Grippy track crossing platform. The city and CSX came to an agreement to make it easier to access Schuylkill Banks for those who want to enjoy recreational activities along the banks. Before, we had to pass through rail car couplings that just sat on the tracks there. If you were on a bicycle or wanted to walk the dog you had to go up to the street level bridge and then walk down many steps to get to the river.
I visited this box on 6 August 1966, the only box that day, see my "boxes visited" log

The quite accurate location of the box was 428034 (Easting) 489312 (Northing), seen here on the NLS maps maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=54....
In the 1960s we always spent a week with my Dad's relatives, near Gateshead. The early journeys were by Hall Bros coach and a stop was always made at Leeming Bar. I used to see this crossing cabin from there. When we went in 1966 the journey was by car so, when we did stop at Leeming Bar on the way home I took the opportunity to walk across and have a look inside.
The line now forms part of the heritage Wensleydale Railway.
