The TLK Flisak is, by modern Polish standards, a very unusual train. It has been introduced (or rather re-introduced) into the timetable in December of 2021 as one of the very few off-season diesel trains of PKP Intercity. It also has a very exotic route, as it barely uses any mainlines throughout its journey from Gdynia to Katowice. It was created primarily to provide smaller towns in central Poland with a long distance connection, which IC has not been doing for the past 20 years or so. As a matter of fact, it is currently the only passenger train serving the station in Rypin.
The name Flisak is a Polish term for a person which guides rafts down the river, which has been an important job for the peoples inhabiting what today is central Poland throughout history. I find the name pretty suitable, as the train's journey mostly follows the Vistula river.
On 26.02.2026 it was 754.041 hauling the train 54102 Gdynia Główna - Katowice on the unelectrified part of its journey. On the railway line 207 the architecture predominantly dates back to the Prussian period with its very characteristic red brick buildings scattered around everywhere. Just like on this picture, which I took just outside of Sztum, as the train was decelerating for a halt at the local station. Even though the temperatures have risen from -20 to around -3, the ice layer on the tiny trackside lake was thick enough to remain solid for the following days.

This is the old Walloomsac Inn, a very sadly derelict structure in old Bennington Vermont. It was built around 1764 - well, probably not this part, but the older rectangular front part. The title of this photo is a play on the New England placard 'George Washington slept here,' sometimes seen on old houses - the veracity of which is often unproven. However, in 1791, it is well-documented that Jefferson and James Madison actually did stay here when the two were visiting the new state of Vermont.
It was sad to see this place in the current state that it sits. It's privately owned and posted private property no trespassing, so I only took a few pictures from the road. I like how this one turned out under the canopy of a tree across the street.
Aberdeen is currently hosting SPECTRA, Scotland’s Festival of Light, and as we can't get to see it ourselves, I thought I'd make my own Light Show that can at least fill the computer monitor with some intense colour ☺️!!
Happy Sliders Sunday! 😊

"The Prince Christian Sound connects the Labrador Sea with the Irminger Sea. It is around 100 km (60 miles) long and it is narrow, sometimes only 500 metres (1,600 ft) wide. There is only one settlement along this sound, Aappilattoq.
The long fjord system is mostly surrounded by steep mountains in general reaching over 1,200 metres (3,900 ft), one of them 2,220 metres (7,280 ft) high. Many glaciers go straight into its waters where they calve icebergs. There are often strong tidal currents limiting the formation of ice. "

The crossing by ship, sometimes amongst icebergs and growlers, use over seven hours and unveiled outstanding landscapes.

Warrington Bridge is the name given to several historical bridges crossing the River Mersey in the town of Warrington, England. The current structure is the sixth to stand in this location and was constructed in 1909-1915 by Alfred Thorne & Sons. For centuries Warrington Bridge provided the lowest crossing of the Mersey and thus was of strategic and commercial importance. It is located to the south of the present town centre and linked to it by Bridge Street.
The first recorded reference to Warrington Bridge is in 1285. It was the site of two battles during the English Civil War in 1648 and in 1651. The bridge features in in Walter Scott’s novel Peveril of the Peak (ch 20) set in 1670s where it is described as having been built by Lord Derby.
The three times weekly westbound run of Amtrak's Cardinal makes a stop at the historic passenger station in Staunton, Virginia in March 2013. The train makes a run between
New York, Washington, Charlottesville, Staunton, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago and back again.
Amtrak (reporting mark (AMTK) 162 is an General Electric P42DC built in 2001 and wrecked in 2018. Its current disposition is unknown. Passenger trains of the old days were definetly more asthetically pleasing.
With the lack of opportunity to move freely during Covid 19, I decided to take a series of shots of reflections in the local streams, ponds, ditches and a short stretch of the River Thames. This one was taken next to Hampton Court Bridge.

Hubert Sattler "traveled widely and was noted for large and minutely detailed cosmorama paintings of cities, monuments, and landscapes of many countries. [...]
Cosmoramas were exhibitions of perspective paintings of various places, often world landmarks; careful use of illumination and lenses gave the images greater realism. Sattler's cosmorama works, characterized by a high degree of detail, were sometimes displayed under lights in a dark room to paying customers looking through an aperture and often a magnifying lens."

It's hard to tell but there is currently a three way meet taking place on the Yandi Line. These two 70's are in charge of a loaded MAC train, a Yandi 2 load is out of sight to the right around the wye, and an empty train is sitting behind us waiting on both to clear.

Truly one of a better e-mail you may not have seen:
A mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Iraq ?'
A mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Saudi Arabia ?'
A mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die in Kuwait?'
Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die in Vietnam?'
Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die in Korea?'
Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on Iwo Jima?'
Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on a battlefield in France?'
Yet another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?'
And yet another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on a frozen field near Valley Forge?'
Then long, long ago, a mother asked...
'Heavenly Father ... why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem?'
The answer is always the same... “So that others may live and dwell in peace, happiness, and freedom.”
This was emailed to me with no author. I thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome.
If you are not willing to stand BEHIND our troops, please, please feel free to stand in front of them....
“Lets go to WAR is a political decision usually made by governments leading nations. A person can try to influence that decision, before and after, War begins or is averted. Once in war, a citizen’s duty to his/country is what if asked to served, or if asked to support those serving in hostile territories in HARM’s WAY”? I pray for the military folks abroad and at home, anxiously awaiting exercise of the right to vote out this current top government officials. What do you do?

After the sun had set around midnight last summer at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. It was a very still night. The sense of calmness was overwhelming. The clouds didn't move at all during this two minutes long exposure. But you can see the current in the water slowly moving the icebergs in the middle towards the sea.
Thanks for your visit. If you like my images, stop by at hpd-fotografy or follow me on 500px, Instagram, flickr and Facebook.

Current chariot, in diva pose, undergoing a slow rebuild as it was abandoned. A bit too small (I'm tall -- note the extension on the seatpost) but it gets me around...

Scoresbysund, Greenland
Massive icebergs travel with currents in the Scoresby Sound towards the Greenland Sea.
Though the temperature of 10º Celsius is not really low compared to snowing countries, it is still called "cold current" in Taiwan. I stayed at home and avoid being outdoor in such a cold and rainy day.
攝氏十度對很多下雪的國家而言，實在不算是冷，但是對台灣而言，就已經是「寒流」等級。
當然，我這怕冷的，完全避免出門，在家翻舊庫存。
