Called well before the train had arrived at Chattanooga, Tennessee, the W&A crew for CSX B647-28 was flying all the way south. Making the run in near record time for a non-OCS move they were through Cartersville barely more than 3 hours out of Chattanooga.
Leading the train is CP ES44AC no. 8781 painted in the freight colors of shipping company Hapag Lloyd, with whom Canadian Pacific does a large amount of business.

As I was looking through my archives for images that portrayed the theme of bliss, I realized that the perfect location was the lush green rolling landscape of Palouse in eastern Washington. I often describe this location as a place known by only two kinds of people - farmers and photographers. In fact, during my 3-day exploration of this place a few years back, those were the only living souls I met in this blissful landscape.
I spent many an hour exploring lonely dirt roads winding their way along and up curvy hills carpeted with green, and dotted with the occasional oak tree, a rustic yet colorful barn, an old farmstead, or even the infrequent windmill rusting away. This dilapidated shack was awaiting me at the end of one such dirt road. But perhaps what captivated my attention then was the blissful combination of lush green landscape and the puffy white clouds suspended in the robin egg blue sky. That was a scene that became etched in my mind as the ideal pastoral landscape.
The transient lighting conditions necessitated quick photography to time the exposure correctly. This was one such exposure showcasing the beauty of the wheat bowl of USA

The nice thing about cross-dressing is that it's so easy to change your hairstyle. This wig was quickly chosen so as not to walk through the stairwell without a proper hairstyle. You never know which attractive man you might encounter.
After leaving Lake Tekapo in rain just a few miles down the road the sun was shinning so we went and visited the Clay Cliffs – Paritea a natural rock formation 10 km west of Omarama. It was so hot I got sunburnt! March 5, 2014, South Island, New zeland.
The Clay Cliffs are huge sharp pinnacles and ridges with deep, narrow ravines separating them. The Clay Cliffs are made of layers of gravel and silt, deposited by rivers flowing from glaciers existing 1-2 million years ago. Compared to the nearby mountains, which are 250 million years old, the Clay Cliffs are relatively new. Today the gravel and silt layers can be seen as sloping bands as the strata have been tilted since their deposition 1-2 million years ago.
Hunter Valley Gardens is a privately owned gardens in the heart of Hunter Valley wine country, located in Pokolbin, NSW, Australia. It opened in 2003 and is now open every day of the year except Christmas Day. The gardens span across 14 hectares of land, containing 10 differently themed gardens, accommodation, a shopping village, rides/events and dining. The gardens are a popular venue in the Hunter Valley for weddings and events. Hunter Valley Gardens is the largest display garden in the Southern Hemisphere. Hunter valley gardens was developed and created by the Roche Group, when founder Bill Roche retired he decided that he would finally make his lifelong ambition a reality, building a garden that would be enjoyed for generations to come. Starting construction in 1999, the team of 40–50 landscape gardeners, engineers and architects completed the gardens and it was opened in October 2003 by the premier of New South Wales.
The gardens are composed of ten individually themed gardens, influenced by different locations around the world, containing both native and exotic flora . The display gardens are divided by eight kilometres of wheelchair accessible walking paths. There are over six thousand trees, six hundred thousand shrubs and one million ground-covers populating the gardens.
The themed gardens are;-
•Border Garden- The Border Garden is designed to imitate the classic French Parterre style of garden, with surrounding manicured box hedging, intertwined with Hill's Weeping figs and European boxwood to make interesting shapes and designs. Hand-carved Indian Marble water features and statues that represent the four seasons are displayed throughout the Border Garden.
•Chinese Garden- Patrons enter the Chinese Garden by crossing green Chinese slate and walking through a traditional Moon gate which is flanked by two bronze Temple Guardians. Slow growing grass, rugged rocks and raked decorative gravels are some of the traditional elements to the garden. Some of the many featured plants include Azaleas, Camellia sasanqua, Conifer, Bamboo , Cumquats, Persimmons and Mulberries.
•Formal Garden- Influenced by garden designs of France and England, the Formal garden is one of the largest of its type in Australia. Manchurian Pear Trees border the garden with 3000 bushes of Chameleon roses, a variety of topiary and manicured lawns making up the features of the garden. A Wishing Fountain can also be found in the Formal Garden, with all the proceeds donated to charity.
•Indian Garden- The Indian Garden carries aromas of India, having Curry plants filling the garden with their scent when you enter through the 160-year-old antique Indian Gates with two bronze elephants standing guard. Paths accompanied with Lilly pilly hedges lead to a mosaic of pebbles and ground-covering plants and a garden design, containing Purple Ajuga and Variegated Dwarf Agapanthus. An Indian Tea House with traditional Indian embellishments has an area to sit allowing the visitors to view the garden and topiary elephants.

One of the iconic landmarks of the city, it's hard to get a different take on it!
Not the usual blue shark picture, but I quite like the depth and eye contact on this one. What do you think?
For me it's always fun to experiment with different angles and techniques, even though this dramatically decreases the number of keepers! This is something I should do a lot more often, and in fact it's kind of a new year's resolution for me.
4 different pictures, 4 different vibes but all in the same house.
I get bored way to easy with homes so to avoid that, I like to make each space feel different to the other. Different patterns, colors, textures. Makes it far more interesting!
The different moods she can create - just with a pose and an expression never ceases to amaze me. Here, she has a look that registers with me. What is yuor take? Again this is from my archives from my first shoot with her in the summer of 2012. You can see more of her many moods and expressions in my set "Alexis". Best in lightbox.

Two different companies working the same service, but First are giving up the X80/1 services from the 27th of this month, so there are only a few weeks that the two operators can be seen together like this.
Honestly, that's how it felt. A friend of mine remarked that traveling through the western highlands, she really began to think, for the first time, that maybe the legends are true. Maybe there really are dark and wonderful things in this world, just beyond what we can see everyday.
Idole cycladique de la collection Paul et Alexandra Canellopoulos
Musée de Canellopoulos, Athènes
Le Musée de Kanellopoulos, inauguré en 1976, retrace l'évolution de l'art grec à travers une collection variée de pièces d'art archéologique appartenant à différentes périodes.

La collection, rassemblée par Paul et Alexandra Kanellopoulos, constitue l'une des collections d'antiquités privées les plus importantes de Grèce.
C'est dans les Cyclades que l'art primitif issu du néolithique a connu l'évolution la plus caractéristique. Ces objets caractéristiques de la civilisation précoce des Cyclades datent des années 3200 à 2O00 avant J.C.

Les figurines miniatures en marbre aux épaules larges et aux hanches étroites représentent en général des femmes nues que les archéologues supposent être des symboles de Fertilité ou des amulettes funéraires.

Early Cycladic period (3200 – 2000 BC)
This period was mainly characterized by the development of metallurgy, maritime navigation and communication. A multitude and wide range of bronze tools and weapons, swift-moving ships impelled by oars depicted on clay (frying pans) or metal (lead boat models) attest to the heyday of this early period of the Cyclades which played a pivotal role in the trade of materials and goods as well as the exchange of ideas, being in the centre of maritime communication routes. Metals, obsidian and marble, unique raw materials found on the Cyclades, were spread throughout the Aegean Sea. The marble vases and figurines, the kraters -known as “”kandiles”” (votive lamps)- and the violin-shaped figurines became initially synonymous with the Cycladic culture. Later, the kylikes and the “”palettes””, but chiefly the figurines with folded arms, with their widespread dispersal, turned into the symbol of the Cycladic achievement, whereas simultaneously, the creation of statues, namely life-size figures, and certain three-dimensional figurines (e.g. musicians) manifests the progress and innovation of the Cycladic art.

There are different theories behind how the wall came to be there and the most favoured one seems to be that it was part of a newtake meant to enclose Belstone Common. A newtake was a piece of land enclosed by early Dartmoor farmers. Two Irishmen were building the wall to enclose this vast area of land and the locals of Belstone and Okehampton disapproved so knocked it down and drove them away.

Coleraine. Major Thomas Mitchell passed through here exploring in 1836 and it was because of his favourable reports the Edward Henty took up a squatting run just west of Coleraine in 1837. This was later converted to leasehold which Henty called Merino Downs. The main early homestead named Muntham was on a different run. Henty’s brother-in-law James Bryan squatted here too but his land was soon taken by an official lease by the Whyte brothers in 1846 for their run called Koroite. In time some of their lease was subdivided into smaller properties and in 1870 the rest of the run was resumed for closer settlement. Around 1850 a small settlement emerged called Bryans Creek Crossing, after James Bryan. This was later changed to Coleraine in 1853 when a government town was surveyed. The town grew slowly as the runs around it were so big until the 1880s and beyond. When selection acts were introduced in Victoria the wealthy pastoralists bought up their runs freehold. The Anglican Church opened in 1865, the Catholic Church 1888 and the Presbyterian 1892. Many of the large estates were not broken up until the 1910 closer settlement act and in 1923 when blocks were offered to soldier settlers.
So I requested from an online friend that they do something a little different with me....
The end result after far too many images to choose from was this gorgeous artwork 😍
Bless you my darling, you made an old woman cry with happiness and love.
Must be my hormones. 💕
Scenes in November are much different from the October craziness that we call "fun" As of November 1st the town seems to be come a comparitive ghost town but in reality, Salem is just breathing a quiet sigh of relief. The tens of thousands of Halloween fanatics who flock here for the "Witch Central" experience are now gone. Today I walk the streets and a few people who look confused are surprised that someone would stop to offer them suggestions on what to do or where to go. But I was a Park ranger here so it's second nature for me to help out. The history is still here for people to take advantage of and the tours of the colonial homes and businesses are still running because when they were brand new no one knew what Halloween was or would be. So the maritime history is what is still here today.
Mt. Rushmore means different things to different people. My patriotism is more pragmatic and realistic and less visceral than many. I appreciate this monument first as a work of art and second as an amazing engineering challenge. Gutzon Borglum, the artist was able first to create the sculpture (as a scale model, and then, despite crude equipment and limited resources, anomalies and defects in the mountain, duplicate this image on a mountain.
Edinburgh from a different perspective: cruising along the Union Canal on the beautiful 60ft wide-beam Lochrin Belle.
The Union Canal - the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal to give it its full name - runs from Falkirk to Edinburgh and was constructed to bring minerals, especially coal, to the capital. It was opened in 1822.
Have you noticed that some of the bridges along the route are painted black, blue, red, and gold? The colours represent different aspects of the canal: black for the coal transported by barge, blue for the inland waterways, red for the lives lost during its construction, and gold for the money made from the trade.
