Quest'anno il VSOE per Venezia viaggia in Svizzera con una traccia straordinaria ritardata di circa due ore rispetto a quella ordinaria che ha permesso di ridurre la sosta diurna al confine italiano a Chiasso.
Ciò ha finalmente permesso di estendere l'area in cui sia possibile riprenderlo all'alba. Eccolo quindi attraversare il corso del Reuss alle porte di Rotkreuz al traino di una coppia di Re4/4 SBB. (24/4/15)
This year the Venice-Simplon Orient Express from London/Paris to Venice has changed its schedule being delayed of two hours in its Swiss journey. This had given the possibility to catch it also North from Erstfeld on the Aarau-Arth line along the Reuss valley.
Here a couple of SBB Re4/4 are pulling this great classic train over the Reuss bridge between Oberrutti and Rotkreuz on April the 24th.
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which has become very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs SEMAINES après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.

Dans la journée du jeudi 14 janvier 2021 et dans la nuit qui a suivi, il a bien neigé en plaine d'Alsace. Puis le vendredi 15 au matin, le ciel est devenu tout bleu, faisant en place à un grand soleil qui a magnifié les décors fraîchements blanchis. Comme j'étais chez moi (en télétravail), je n'ai pas pu résister à profiter de ma pause déjeuner pour aller faire un tour dans le bois situé juste à côté de chez nous et je me suis régalé pendant 1h30 à évoluer sous le soleil, au milieu de ces arbres et arbustes recouverts de neige. C'était MAGIQUE ! Le grand BONHEUR !!! 🙏😊
Quand je suis rentré, j'ai tout fait pour convaincre ma femme d'aller en profiter à son tour en début d'après-midi, avant d'aller faire les courses. Elle a beaucoup hésité mais devant mon insistance, elle m'a imité et elle n'a pas regretté. Elle a été aussi enchantée que moi par ce spectacle exceptionnel en plaine d'Alsace. 👍😊
Seul petit bémol, sous l'effet du soleil et des températures peu négatives, la neige fondait et tombait de façon assez soutenue sous certaines branches. Je devais protéger en permanence mon objectif avec ma main gauche et j'ai reçu pas mal de neige sur la tête. Mais ça avait un côté marrant en même temps. 😂 Et c'est aussi pour ça que j'ai dit à ma femme d'en profiter dès que possible, avant que les branches n'aient perdu trop de neige.

France. Vosges. Alsace. Haut-Rhin. Vallée de Munster. Photo prise lors d'une rando effectuée ma femme au départ du parking situé juste au-dessus du village du Hohrodberg. Nous avons effectué un circuit qui nous a fait passer à de nombreux endroits remarquables du secteur : le sommet du Hoernleskkopf, le village du Hohrodberg lui-même, le chaos rocheux du Katzenstein, les lieux-dits Mittelbuhl et Gebraech, la ferme auberge du Glasborn et pour finir, la crête du Barrenkopf et du Kleinkopf, qui a été le théâtre d'affrontements meurtriers entre français et allemands au cours de la 1ère guerre mondiale. Ce qui est fou c'est que je n'ai pas choisi cette randonnée en pensant que ça tombait bien pour un 11 novembre. Mais une fois sur place, on s'est dit avec ma femme que c'était une coïncidence vraiment bienvenue !
Cette photo a été prise près d'une stèle en mémoire à l'équipage d'un bombardier anglo-canadien (7 jeunes soldats de 23 ans en moyenne), qui s'est écrasé près du Hohrodberg le 7 janvier 1945.
Au début de notre rando (9H), Munster était complètement recouverte par la mer de nuages. Et puis 25 minutes avant cette photo, on a vu un clocher et une cheminée commencer à émerger. Les nuages bas se sont alors peu à peu dissipés. Et puis vers midi, on a vu la mer de nuages de la Plaine d'Alsace venir engloutir Munster à nouveau. Et puis ça s'est dissipé une 2ème fois. Mais jusqu'au soir, il est resté quelques nappes de brouillard. Bref, la mer de nuages a joué au yoyo avec Munster toute la journée, avec 2 marées hautes et 2 marées basses dans la même journée ! 😂

Found this on my hard drive. its from back in November last year when everyone was posting misty woodlands and my shots were just lost in them, so I didn't post. Thought it was worth it now that I found it again

Thanks so much for all the support! 😊
This Eastern Kingbird struggles to subdue a cicada while its fledgling waits patiently, mouth agape. The insect broke free and started to fly away a number of times, but was recaptured.
From a distance I originally thought it was a big dragonfly, but on viewing the photos I realized it was instead a very uncooperative cicada.
The late running Railway Touring Company 'Cardiff Christmas Express', 1Z80 0822 London Victoria - Cardiff Central, approaches Stroud hauled by No. 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' on 22nd November 2022. Problems with signalling and watering the loco caused the train to be 35 minutes late at this stage. On the left is the historic Stroud Goods Shed, constructed in 1845 to a design by I.K. Brunel. The Grade II listed structure is now in the custody of Stroud Preservation Trust. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
At the Jeddo mine in North Hazleton, PA, white helmets gather around to find out what the hold up is with the anciant coal load-out. I guess sometimes knocking things with a hammer works. It's obvious that money is going right into the coal pit with everyone standing around.
The smaller Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis) ram pretends to feed, putting some space between himself and the dominant ram. The bigger ram is clearly spoiling for a fight - look at those eyes! The delaying tactic worked - for about 20 seconds. When the smaller ram picked up his head - the dominant ram let him know who was boss.
BNSF local L-CHI6561 sits in the siding at West Vienna with engine trouble. This train sat here for a week, but the duo of Warbonnets were nice. The ACe was bad ordered from Paducah.
CN 369 at left and CN X371 at right are both stopped at Dorval, waiting for permission to head west. They are delayed due to an incident involving VIA 61 in Coteau which delayed all VIA Rail and CN freight trains this morning. A few minutes after I took this photo CN 369 would depart, with CN X371 following about a half hour later.
The 2018 CSX Santa Train spent an additional night in Kingsport due to a derailment that used up the available crews. So, lucky for me, I was able to capitalize on it. Boone, Viaduct. Nov 18, 2018.

CP 135 blasts by Arkwood after getting clearance from Kent Bridge to 1045 due to lots of Forman work on the line. When entering Chatham, it would be stopped yet again by a malfunctioning crossing, where 103g was applied. A normal day on the CPKC I would say...

Rain delay - boating season's over

Palace Bridge (Dvortsoviy Most), a road- and foot-traffic bascule bridge, spans the Neva River in Saint Petersburg between Palace Square and Vasilievsky Island. Like every other Neva bridge (except for Big Obukhovsky Bridge), it is drawn by night, making foot travel between various parts of the city virtually impossible. The bascule span was designed by an American firm, the Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge Company, and built by the French firm Société de Construction des Batignolles between 1912 and 1916.
The total length of Palace Bridge is 260.1 metres, width is 27.8 metres. It is actually composed of five spans, the southernmost joining Palace Embankment between the Winter Palace and the Admiralty and leading to Palace Square.
The engine which opens up 700 ton of each bridge flights consists of motors, huge gears (some of which are still the original ones) and thousand-ton counterweights. The mechanism works reliably, but sometimes small incidents occur. In October 2002 one of the gear teeth broke off: consequently the drawing was halted in the middle, and ship passage was delayed.
