What a difference a week can make... I visited Porthallow and neighbouring Porthoustock coves with my camera last weekend. An uninteresting overcast sky and tiredness combined to leave me uninspired to take a single photo - despite making the effort to get up at 4.30am.
I had almost written off the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula for photography - but with the area being the nearest spot favourable to the current sunrise trajectory and this morning's mid-tide, I dragged myself out of bed to try again!
This morning, the sun rose through a distant veil of thin cloud- casting a warm glow to the sky - contrasting with the cooler tones of the foreground. The light lasted for 15 minutes or so, before the sun ascended into clear sky - casting harsher light.
Before last weekend, I had never been to this corner of Cornwall. I found it unlike anywhere else in the county - with a rugged aesthetic, dark shingle beaches and relatively little sign of tourism.

A close comparison shot of a black-headed gull (rear) and a Mediterranean gull in winter plumage. The bill of the latter is heavier and it's hood remnants extend closer to the back of the head. However, the most obvious difference is the wings, with obvious black tips for the black-headed gull.

''After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn…
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure…
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth…
And you learn and learn…
With every good-bye you learn.”
― Jorge Luis Borges
I reprised the the exact same angle I did last year here, but there are a few noteworthy differences. This year's train was longer with nine cars vs eight last year and 252 joining 255 on the south/east end for assistance. And at least here the foliage was definitely better than last years version despite being a week later than when this ran in 2022.
Operating together on historic home rails are Boston and Maine F7As 4266 and 4268 on the north end of a nine car special 470 Railroad Club charter (with es MEC GP38s 252 and 255 on the rear). They are passing the cut cornfields just south of Moat Brook Trestle at MP 136.1 (from North Station in Boston) on the old Boston and Maine Conway Branch, owned and operated since 1974 by the Conway Scenic Railroad after being abandoned by the beleaguered bankrupt Class 1 two years prior.
Both units are owned by the 470 Railroad Club and are original Boston and Maine locomotives wearing their as delivered EMD designed scheme. 4266 was built in Mar. 1949 and was acquired for preservation in 1981 off the Billerica deadline. Restored a couple years later, she has called North Conway home ever since and has been operational off and on for the past four decades.
4268 was built in Oct. 1949 and ran for the very first time in almost a half century in early 2022. I'm not sure when her last run was, but I can find no photos of her in service after about July 1974. She languished for a decade behind the Billerica shops after being stripped of all major components including prime mover, main generator and traction motors. In 1986 she finally left Billerica by truck after being acquired by George Feuderer who displayed her in a field in East Swanzey, NH until acquired by the 470 Club and trucked to North Conway in October of 1991.
She received a cosmetic restoration in 1993 and had been prominently displayed at the Conway Scenic in the company of her operational sibling ever since. After years of planning, the club began restoration in earnest in 2018 with the full support of the railroad and its shop using ex New Hampshire Northcoast GP9 1757 (ex PRR) as a major parts donor for the four year long restoration project.
Addendum: thanks to Carl Byron for supplying the fascinating historical information below that I'd never read about before.
The 4268A was actually built in March, 1949 as Engineering Test Dept Locomotive #930. Used for high altitude component testing on the DRGW's Soldier Summit among other locations. It spent some of that summer masquerading as a CB&Q locomotive leading their passenger car display at the 1949 Chicago World's Fair. It was then was cleaned up, re-engined, and made into to a standard F7A and offered for sale at a 'slightly used demo' price. The B&M bought it and it was renumbered and painted into the B&M livery and shipped east, so while the builders plate may well say 10/49 but it certainly had a prior interesting career.

Shuwaikh port - Kuwait
The photograph shows a bit of the indifference in the municipality's supervision on coastal locations in Kuwait. As you can see, the beach is full of rubbish and dirt which has destroyed the natural look of the sand. Making the place somehow unusable. Anyway, it is also related to the people's awareness of this subject. I think multimedia means in the country must pay attention to this problem and raise people's awareness.
Technical Data:
It is not a HDR photograph, the bottom part is exposed by hitting a lot of flashes - which made me blind =D - by me and my friend. The white balance was taken down to 2700 to give this pinkish mood to the photo. Long exposure was used in order to prevent noise from high ISO and to give a special effect to the water.

Wonderful work of an artist that wanted to make a difference the Selaron Steps in Lapa Rio de Janeiro.
Maankwartier est un quartier surélevé - ou une citadelle, comme l'appellent Huisman et les architectes. Comme une citadelle, Maankwartier a une partie intérieure et extérieure, séparées par des murs d'enceinte. Sur le côté sud, de hauts bâtiments bordent Maankwartier, sur le côté nord se dresse un robuste mur incurvé.
L'extérieur relativement fermé de ce contour est le support des bâtiments réels à l'intérieur. L'intérieur de la citadelle offre des places et des passages abrités avec de petites boutiques, des cafés et des logements. Comme dans une ville historique, les différences de hauteur dans le quartier peuvent (aussi) être franchies sans l'utilisation d'ascenseurs et d'escaliers mécaniques.
Maankwartier is an elevated neighborhood – or citadel, as Huisman and the architects call it. Like a citadel, Maankwartier has an interior and exterior part, separated by surrounding walls. On the south side, tall buildings line Maankwartier, on the north side a sturdy curved wall stands.
The relatively closed exterior of this outline is the support for the actual buildings inside. The interior of the citadel offers sheltered squares and passageways with small shops, cafes and accommodation. As in a historic city, height differences in the neighborhood can (also) be overcome without the use of elevators and escalators.
Are they really different?
How man are different? On, two or three?
What is the reason of the difference?
The thickness? The color? The material?
Are they really different? They all are ropes ....
There was a time, there was always a time. A time when she was nothing more than a figure in the crosshairs of some scope, years had passed with this being the case. Something had changed, a point of no return... he wasn't just a thick headed marine anymore following orders, he was here by his own free will.
St Maarten and St Martin - Caribbean - Dutch and French
What is the difference between St Maarten and St Martin?
During the 17th Century there was intermittent rivalry between the Dutch and French for control of the island and its salt mines. In 1648 the two countries signed the Treaty of Concordia which divided the island in two and urged its people to live in a cooperative manner.
Saint Martin (French: Saint-Martin; Dutch: Sint Maarten) is an island in the northeast Caribbean Sea, approximately 300 km (190 mi) east of Puerto Rico. The 87-square-kilometre (34 sq mi) island is divided roughly 60:40 between the French Republic (53 km2, 20 sq mi)[1] and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (34 km2, 13 sq mi),[2] but the two parts are roughly equal in population. The division dates to 1648. The southern Dutch part comprises Sint Maarten and is one of four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The northern French part comprises the Collectivity of Saint Martin and is an overseas collectivity of the French Republic. As part of France, the French part of the island is also part of the European Union.

At the Magic Kingdom they have a fireworks show every night called "Wishes"-- it is amazing, strangely very moving, and a pleasure to photograph. More from my recent visit to the Happiest Place on Earth here.

Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
and his little mate!! (Sika)
Scottish Highlands
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source.
The red deer is the fourth-largest deer species behind moose, elk and sambar deer. It is a ruminant, eating its food in two stages and having an even number of toes on each hoof, like camels, goats and cattle. European red deer have a relatively long tail compared to their Asian and North American relatives. Subtle differences in appearance are noted between the various subspecies of red deer, primarily in size and antlers, with the smallest being the Corsican red deer found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the largest being the Caspian red deer (or maral) of Asia Minor and the Caucasus Region to the west of the Caspian Sea. The deer of central and western Europe vary greatly in size, with some of the largest deer found in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe.Western European red deer, historically, grew to large size given ample food supply (including people's crops), and descendants of introduced populations living in New Zealand and Argentina have grown quite large in both body and antler size. Large red deer stags, like the Caspian red deer or those of the Carpathian Mountains, may rival the wapiti in size. Female red deer are much smaller than their male counterparts.
The European red deer is found in southwestern Asia (Asia Minor and Caucasus regions), North Africa and Europe. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated land mammal still existing in Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa, with the population centred in the northwestern region of the continent in the Atlas Mountains. As of the mid-1990s, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria were the only African countries known to have red deer.
In the Netherlands, a large herd (ca. 3000 animals counted in late 2012) lives in the Oostvaarders Plassen, a nature reserve. Ireland has its own unique subspecies. In France the population is thriving, having multiplied fivefold in the last half-century, increasing from 30,000 in 1970 to approximately 160,000 in 2014. The deer has particularly expanded its footprint into forests at higher altitudes than before. In the UK, indigenous populations occur in Scotland, the Lake District, and the South West of England (principally on Exmoor). Not all of these are of entirely pure bloodlines, as some of these populations have been supplemented with deliberate releases of deer from parks, such as Warnham or Woburn Abbey, in an attempt to increase antler sizes and body weights. The University of Edinburgh found that, in Scotland, there has been extensive hybridisation with the closely related sika deer.
Several other populations have originated either with "carted" deer kept for stag hunts being left out at the end of the hunt, escapes from deer farms, or deliberate releases. Carted deer were kept by stag hunts with no wild red deer in the locality and were normally recaptured after the hunt and used again; although the hunts are called "stag hunts", the Norwich Staghounds only hunted hinds (female red deer), and in 1950, at least eight hinds (some of which may have been pregnant) were known to be at large near Kimberley and West Harling; they formed the basis of a new population based in Thetford Forest in Norfolk. Further substantial red deer herds originated from escapes or deliberate releases in the New Forest, the Peak District, Suffolk, Lancashire, Brecon Beacons, and North Yorkshire, as well as many other smaller populations scattered throughout England and Wales, and they are all generally increasing in numbers and range. A census of deer populations in 2007 and again in 2011 coordinated by the British Deer Society records the red deer as having continued to expand their range in England and Wales since 2000, with expansion most notable in the Midlands and East Anglia.
“What is the difference between a squash and a pumpkin?”
Well, to keep it simple, pumpkin is one type of squash and squash generally refers to four species of genus cucurbita, including the species to which pumpkin belongs. So, to make it clearer, both squash and pumpkin belong to the same family (the cucurbitaceae). A pumpkin is a type of squash. Squash is considered a fruit and it grows on a vine. Here in the US and Canada, we usually break down the squash family to winter or summer squash, depending on when they are harvested.
One thing that makes pumpkin a little different from other squash, besides being orange with yellow-orange skin, is its stem. Anyone who has ever handled one knows that its stem is stiff and spikey. Another thing that sets pumpkin apart from its sisters in the squash family is that its seeds are edible.
Pumpkin can be grown in many parts of the world whereas growing other varieties of squash is more restricted by specific weather conditions. At the market, our world magically comes together. There you’ll find many varieties, some edible, others ornamental.
Biscayne Park, FL
I tried my new macro lens, which touts good portrait shots. Not bad, but can be sharper. This was handheld, so tripod may make the difference. It was overcast and tough to get correct skin tone. This is pretty close.

This trio (quartet at a push) of London Tridents demonstrate a difference in the shade of red applied. 17486 (LX51FME) is a much darker shade of red that the others, and is also the only one to carry corner adverts for a stage show - Miss Saigon in this case. 17448 (Y448NHK) wilst not numerically the oldest one to appear here so far is the only one with a pre-51 style registration.

Great Western 2884 Class 2-8-0 3802 takes water at the tank north of the station at Loughborough. It's only when you stand back do you get an idea how massive these engines are.
Churchward introduced the 2800 Class in 1903 - the first 2-8-0 locos in the UK - and further members were built by Collett in 1938-41 with minor modifications as the 2884 Class. The most obvious difference is the side window cab. The class lasted in service until 1965 and 3802 was one of the last being withdrawn in August from Bristol Barrow Road shed.
3802 is currently paired with a 4,000 gallon Collett tender instead of the usual 3,500 gallon Churchward tender. This seems to upset some people but I think it looks fine and it does give a bit more protection to the crew when running tender-first.
After a while, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn
that love doesn’t mean leaning,
and company doesn’t always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts, that presents aren’t promises; and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up, and your eyes ahead - with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child.

You learn that you really can endure.
That you really are strong.
That you really do have worth.

This whole day was amazing! I wanted to do my take on "Cupid, Reimagined" in this shot. I wanted to show Cupid as someone who, instead of shooting lovers down, collects flowers and teaches people to be the right person to themselves first - not a prerequisite for "love" per se, but certainly for a deep and long-standing love.
A Volvo PV544 in Langen. According to Wikipedia, "In 1958, the PV544 was phased in. Subtle differences with the PV444 included the introduction of a curved one-piece windshield to replace the two panes of flat glass, larger taillights, and a ribbon-type speedometer. "
