Sometimes I just spend to much time in the weeds. There is so much coming at me that I can't focus on one individual task and that everthing start to just appear at once. And just when I think I start to get it organaized, the rain comes...

The current cold weather has brought more starlings into my garden. We would occasionally get two but now there are seven and they are visiting almost non-stop. This means I've finally had some opportunities to take photos of them
Last shot in the current series - here I see a face at the upper right, so in a sense the leaf is looking back at me. Which is essentially what St. Francis of Assisi says in his famous quote, "What we are looking for is what is looking." (When a quote trickles down to us after something like 800 years, I tend to view it as mostly symbolic - which doesn't matter if it's a good thought.)
Tomorrow it's back to a winter world. This morning, -33°C. Sun's shining, but it's a cold light by the time it gets through to us. No activity on the streets. Ranchers don't get a day off; their animals still have to be fed. Photographers can just hunker down and wait for things to warm up a little...

Jetzt im Dezember sind die Steinschmätzer in Afrika. Sie sind Langstreckenzieher von denen man weiß, dass sie auf dem Vogelzug Strecken von bis zu 15000km in die Winterquartiere zurücklegen. Das ist eine starke Leistung für ein Vögelchen, das knapp 30g wiegt. In wenigen Monaten kommen sie wieder zurück zu ihren Brutplätzen. Das sind dann wieder 15000km...
It is December and the wheatears are currently in Africa. They are long-distance migrants and are known to travel distances of up to 15,000km to their winter quarters. That is an impressive feat for a little bird that weighs just 30g. In a few months they will return to their breeding grounds. That will be another 15,000km...
I'm currently editing some photos for our photo club's photo exhibition in November. I'm looking for a few pictures that I haven't published yet and I'm finding them in my archive.-

ich bearbeite gerade einige Fotos für die Fotoaustellung unseres Fotoclubs im November. Ich suche ein paar Bilder die ich noch nicht veröffentlicht habe und werde fündig in meinem Archiv.

M503 is back up to speed after hanging back at Woodland Jct, waiting on a motive power plagued L375 here at Milford. The local is finally in the clear and the C&EI towards Evansville is finally open for southbound movement again. Afternoons tend to be busy on this leg of the C&EI and this 1st of December is no different. I195, M500, L375, M503 and I129 all ran in daylight between Woodland Jct and Danville.
This is from an Iris in our garden completed in a painterly fashion. We are doing a month of "finger exercises" fast compositions. They work well for doing note cards.

Migration is underway - - but certainly a little later this year due to our harsh winter - - many local ponds are still frozen. This is a picture from late March last year - - I had been shooting the migrating ducks for awhile already in local ponds - - currently Lake Ontario is one of the few games in town.
I've learned to take everything someone says with a grain of salt. They will tell you what they want you to believe, but in reality the truth is usually in focus, they just forget that it's been shown. Have the courage to speak the truth, rather than avoiding the situation.....
Torre Jaume I is a 107-metre high steel truss tower in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, which was built in 1931 by Carlos Boigas. The tower is currently the fifth-tallest aerial lift pylon in the world, and is a part of the Port Vell Aerial Tramway from Torre Sant Sebastia to Montjuïc.

Current home of the London Assembly:
"Examining decisions and actions to ensure promises to Londoners are delivered.
That is the job of the 25 London Assembly Members, who you elect at the same time as the Mayor. Eleven represent the whole capital and 14 are elected by constituencies. As the most powerful directly-elected politician in the UK, it is important the Mayor is held publicly and democratically accountable.
The Assembly has a Chair and Deputy Chair, who are each elected by Members for a one-year term in April."

The building opened in 2012 and was previously an exhibition centre for sustainable architecture, known as The Crystal. Built and opened by Siemens, it was the first building in the world to reach the highest sustainability award level (see LEED and BREEAM). It was bought by the GLA in 2019 for the docklands redevelopment project.
The building is situated next to the redeveloped Royal Victoria Dock in Canning Town.

Currently being used as a storage building for Strathspey Steam Railway Volunteers.
Broomhill railway station or Broomhill for Nethy Bridge railway station is a reconstructed railway station on the former Highland Railway main line which was originally built to serve the small villages of Nethy Bridge and Dulnain Bridge in Strathspey. It is at present the eastern terminus of the Strathspey Steam Railway.
The railway station was opened by the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway (I&PJR) on its line to Forres in 1863, via Grantown-on-Spey (West), Dava, etc.
In 1923 the HR became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and at nationalisation in 1948 became part of British Railways. The line was recommended for closure by Dr Beeching's report "The Reshaping of British Railways" and closed on 18 October 1965.
Following closure in 1965 the station was demolished leaving only the platform and the nearby stationmaster's house. On 31 May 2002 the Strathspey Railway (preserved) re-opened the old station following its reconstruction.
The Great North of Scotland Railway's (GNoSR) Broomhill Junction lay on the line towards Boat of Garten and at this point the original GNoSR Strathspey Railway diverged, crossing the River Spey to reach Nethy Bridge, Grantown-on-Spey, Aberlour, Cromdale, Craigellachie, etc. The Highland Railway (HR) line ran parallel from Boat of Garten station to avoid the cost of a signal box and famously the two lines had different coloured ballast.
Current mood... normally Flickr is all happiness with pix... but tonight I'm just feeling a little low. Please ignore my pity party... just the feeling of being ignored hurts... always has... probably always will...

Thanks for your visits. I'm currently coping with health issues so will mostly leave faves rather than my usual comments.
Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located on the Cape Peninsula, in Simon's Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also commonly known as Boulders Bay. It is a popular tourist spot because of a colony of African penguins which settled there in 1982. Boulders Beach forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
These African penguins are only found on the coastlines of Southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia). These penguins are currently endangered. As a result, the penguins are under the protection of the Cape Nature Conservation.
Although set in a residential area, it is one of the few sites where this vulnerable bird (Spheniscus demersus) can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 3000 birds in recent years. This is partly due to the prohibition of commercial pelagic trawling in False Bay, which has increased the supply of sardines and anchovies, which form part of the penguins' diet. as well as the help from former SANDF naval officer, Van the Penguin Man
Bordered mainly by indigenous bush above the high-water mark on the one side, and the clear water of False Bay on the other, the area comprises several small sheltered bays, partially enclosed by granite boulders that are 540 million years old.
The most popular recreational spot is Boulders Beach, but the penguins are best viewed from Foxy Beach, where newly constructed boardwalks take visitors to within a few metres of the birds. It is also a famous swimming beach, although people are restricted to beaches adjacent to the penguin colony.
De nuevo Atxabiribil, Sopelana (Bizkaia), en esa tarde de nubes grises potentes, viendo otro angulo de los posibles. Utilice un filtro ND 1.2 de Tiffen y un degradado 0.9 de Lee para dar ese aire de "fin del mundo" en el cielo. Con Photoshop aumente contraste y toque los niveles un pelin ya que estaba bastante bien de luz para mi gusto. Aumento de nitidez y filtro ruido para el cielo.
