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...
This came second in the current Found Objects Exhibition at the Decagon Gallery www.decagongallery.com/found-objects
I made the faces from clay & cast them in plaster. They were burnt black in the studio fire in 2019, so I left them outside in the rain which has cleaned them up nicely.

With the current travel restrictions in place, I thought I'd try imaging from home under light polluted skies.

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.
Love does not stand firmly in one place demanding it's own way.
It bends like a tree in the wind giving all it has to give........
A recrewed Q453 with a pair of AC44s finishes dropping a cut of rock hoppers at Dania Storage and are ready to continue south.
At one point in time, cars for O717 were stored here as the local was based out of the small yard in Fort Lauderdale. O717 no longer runs out of Fort Lauderdale so the storage tracks at Dania had been empty and are currently empty except for random times like this.
Fresh flowers in the home always make the home warmer. During the Winter season I rely on getting our flowers from the market where I food shop. Reluctantly I will purchase there knowing that I much prefer cutting my own from our yard. There’s a rewarding feeling feeding and watering your own plants and watching them grow. With that in mind using Spring’s “Daffodils To Decorate” from our yard is that much more fun. It’s the first flower to bloom here, and I like giving them to others too. With the current health risk going on my generosity will have to wait a bit longer this Spring than I had hoped. Thanks for viewing my work.
The Lee A Tregurtha is one of the most interesting lake boats still in service. Originally launched 6/25/42 as the USS Chiwawa (AO-68, a T3-S-A1 Kennebec-class oiler) she was heavily rebuilt several times in civilian service and is currently a member of the Interlake fleet as the Lee A. Tregurtha. In this view she's downbound on Lake St Clair heading to Ashtabula, OH. Gross Pointe, MI 5/21/2023
Treating a flower like a person means to take a portrait shot. This image was created by shooting through a frame (lead in this case) and by using five LED spotlights in various positions. I had to go indoors as there is currently too much wind outside. Processed in Fujifilm's raw converter and macOS High Sierra photo editor.
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.....

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.

The Iris Griffith Wetlands Park nature walk, is an interesting place at any time of the year. Although it is currently winter, this place continues to show much of what nature has to offer. Whether winged or 4 legged, there is much to enjoy if you just take the time to quietly listen. And, it is remarkable just how challenging that can be.
La Cathédrale de Saint Martin (Basilika Sankt Martin) est une magnifique église romane située au cœur de Bonn, en Allemagne. Ce monument historique, avec ses tours jumelles emblématiques, a résisté à l'épreuve du temps, témoin de siècles d'histoire et de changements culturels.
La structure actuelle du Bonner Münster, construite dans le style roman, a commencé à prendre forme vers l'an 1050. La nouvelle construction a remplacé une église plus ancienne et comportait une basilique à trois nefs avec une disposition à double chœur. Le chœur oriental, construit au-dessus d'une crypte à trois nefs, et le chœur occidental, également avec une crypte, sont des vestiges notables du design du XIe siècle.
Le chœur oriental, étendu par le prévôt Gerhard von Are au milieu du XIIe siècle, présente une façade richement décorée avec sept fenêtres étroitement espacées, une galerie naine et des niches en arc rond peu profondes.
The Cathedral of Saint Martin (Basilika Sankt Martin) is a magnificent Romanesque church located in the heart of Bonn, Germany. This historic monument, with its iconic twin towers, has stood the test of time, bearing witness to centuries of history and cultural change.
The current structure of the Bonner Münster, built in the Romanesque style, began to take shape around 1050. The new building replaced an earlier church and featured a three-aisled basilica with a double choir layout. The eastern choir, built over a three-aisled crypt, and the western choir, also with a crypt, are notable remnants of the 11th-century design.
The eastern choir, extended by Provost Gerhard von Are in the mid-12th century, features a richly decorated façade with seven closely spaced windows, a dwarf gallery, and shallow round-arched niches.
Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) are at home in swift current, choosing to forage and raise their young in the fast-flowing streams of central and western North America. On the east coast, these birds make due with the next best thing...inlets. I wanted to convey the element that these gorgeous ducks call home, so I lowered my shutter speed to add the movement of the water.

Flying over Staple Newk Gannet breeding colony. Sad to see the dead gannet below, and the remnants of fishing nets that the gannets pick up for nesting material.
The gannet has possibly died from the bird flu outbreak that is currently affecting UK seabird colonies.
