Amid the October foliage, the Pittsburg & Shawmut Brookville turn passes through the cut at Ringgold, Pennsylvania.
It’s not unusual for me to find that the artwork in field guides doesn’t quite prepare me for my first encounter with the real thing. That was the case with this Cut-throat Finch that we encountered during our visit to Ethiopia. I had seen the photos while preparing for the trip but it didn’t really stand out to me but wow when I saw the bird in the feather it definitely left a lasting impression. What a cool looking bird!

Three years ago we saw this bird for the first time in Kruger Park, they are now regular visitors to our garden.
Two males, the female has no red throat...
And no, they were not posing like this, two shots joined....
Y&S 8343 and 1706 navigate one of the numerous rock cuts along the line between Signal and Darlington. 8343 is a former ICG Paducah rebuild GP10 that's been on the railroad for nearly 20 years now.
UP 3446 leads a westbound through Blue Cut down grade on Cajon Pass. Nice consist which included SP and Soo units. January 1989
Planned on bluebell hunting at sunrise yesterday morning in Sherwood Forest where I've seen some lovely images from already this year, hence why I was 100 miles from home at 5am. The forecast looked great for sunrise.
The dog started to limp when I let her out for a toilet break so the bluebells and woodlands were off the cards for the day. Pleased to say she's better today but no ball chasing for a week at least.
It ended up as a morning of reccying locations in this area, which I'm happy to say I found all of. One of which I never would have found without the help of a friendly local who walks his dogs there each morning. I'm never going to get to shoot it in the conditions Steve Cole had simply because of the distance from home but this magical shot of his was the reason I went searching for it.

I realised where I was close to, so I opted for Sawley Cut and Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station at sunrise.
Zero steam from the cooling towers when we first got there. This was taken at 06:07 and the first wisps started to show as people got up to start their day and pop the kettle on.
Coldstone Cut is a landscape sculpture in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire. It is the highest and largest piece of public art / sculpture in Yorkshire, affording spectacular views over the surrounding landscape and the nearby limestone quarry the sculpture overlooks. A visit here is a must for any drone photographer.
PETER:
I used Mummy Marian's scissors and put them back in the drawer after use and I did not cut the cardboard bear head from the present.
I cut up a picture of me and stuck it on the back of the cardboard bear's head. I think it turned out great!
The cap did not fit on the head, so I pasted it next to it
An eastbound autorack train with UP power cuts through CN Joliet Yard as various power awaits the next assignment. 11/10/15
Conrail mixed freight makes its way through this rock-cut before it assaults the ruling grade.
I used a tilt/shift lens to tilt the focus along the plane of the train itself. I wanted to separate the train from the foreground rock a little, make it feel like there was more real-life distance going on there, even at f/13.

The latest #macromondays challenge #Familiar prompts me to share this picture with you. And this time i went a bit closer. Therefore i used the 1.4x Converter on my XF80.
FYI: What you see is a nailbrush and each string measures 0,16mm thickness. The Scissors of the tiny little helper is about 3-4mm. Size of the visible helper is aprox. 10-12mm.
A nailbrush is a small brush designed specifically for cleaning and scrubbing the fingernails and toenails. It typically has short, stiff bristles that help remove dirt, debris, and bacteria from under the nails and the surrounding areas. Nailbrushes come in various shapes and sizes, but they generally have a compact design that fits comfortably in the hand.
Using a nailbrush is a common practice during personal hygiene routines, especially when washing hands or feet. The bristles help to clean the nails thoroughly and promote good nail health. Nailbrushes are often found in bathrooms and are a handy tool for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene.
Some nailbrushes may have additional features, such as a built-in handle for easier grip, or they may be part of a grooming or manicure set. Overall, nailbrushes are simple yet effective tools for maintaining clean and healthy nails.

A Nittany and Bald Eagle crew shoves into the Glenn O. Hawbaker quarry and transload facility outside Pleasant Gap, PA. The two Geeps are using the rail spur cut into the rock under Pennsylvania Route 26 to reach the small yard (which has it's own EMD pup in Hawbaker colors).
Up front today is a North Shore Railroad cousin, the Lycoming Valley Railroad No. 9052. Seen here just shy of it's 60th birthday, the EMD GP20 started out in 1958 as MILW 2373, a GP9. If I did my homework right, the blue paint came from its days on the Georgetown Railroad in Texas before it came to Central Pennsylvania and the North Shore.
The Culebra Cut, also known at the Gaillard Cut), is a narrow 14-kilometer stretch of the Panama Canal through the Continental Divide. Ships must travel single file in one direction.
Working uphill out of the mile -or so- long cut between milepost 23 and 24 of the Cane Creek Branch, the once-a-week Union Pacific Potash Local on this day had 23 loads on the drawbar for the trip back to Grand junction.
The crew will outlaw in a few miles, swapping for a fresh one from Grand Junction at Seven Mile.
A lifespan could be pass along this 36-mile long branch in order to get all the possible angle and point of view it had to offer.
