This is how we were affected by the swell,the odd bit of water coming onboard and obviously our speed was right down.
FYI we are 60 metres wide and at the time our draft was 22.0 metres
Digging spuds, in this case, Maris Pipers, in a field on the outskirts of Birchington.

This is from back in the day when there was plenty of activity down in the open cast pit at Fuxin. But the bucket shovels were searching for seams of coal that were already running out.
I detect there is a narrow gauge electric line at the top of the picture. I guess that’s the track running to the depot on the south side of the pit, but how did it fit in with the grand scheme of things.
The big electric loco was bringing the coal up to the rim for use in the local power station.

The pair of 567's are humming while WSOR 4492 and 2002 are pulling for all their worth, as we climb the steep grade out of Utley on the Markesan sub with a full pull from Delmonte and Badger Mining on this fine summer afternoon.

Lower Saxony - Göhrde
The Göhrde is the largest contiguous mixed forest area in northern Germany. Here you can get to know a natural area that is unique in its own special way. The Göhrde state forest is an impressive woodland area and its core areas are covered with very old trees.
Also known for the Göhrde murders.
It used to be the hunting ground of the Dukes of Brunswick and Lüneberg and later, the Kings of Hanover and the German Emperor. At the time of the murders the forest stood close to West Germany's border with East Germany.
Also the E6 is on the route.
The E6 European long-distance hiking trail is part of the European hiking trail network and runs from Kilpisjärvi in north-western Finland to the Dardanelles in Turkey. The total length is 6030 kilometers.
Here's a side view of my sister's Jack-o-lantern Goodie Bowl, full of goodies, being explored by one of the many squirrels who have been showing up for our Backyard Harvest Fest.
This backside view is something we see over and over. And no matter how many times we see it, a squirrel caboose is still a cute sight to see!
The treats being offered in our Goodie Bowls include a mixture of shelled peanuts, pecans and walnut pieces, and there are also whole pecans, walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts and hazelnuts.
The Batten Kill is a truly a time warp, and if you're lucky enough to spend anytime along the line when they are operating you will feel like you have been transported back a half century or more.
Here is one such example. No ditch lights, ptc antennas, high viz vests or any other signatures of modern railroading are visible. Here is an Alco RS3 blt. in Sept 1952 on home rails paused beside a 1909 built ex Delaware and Hudson passenger station. This is MP A136.9 on the old D&H Washington Branch and BKRR 4116 has paused just north of the Main Street crossing so engineer and railroad president and owner Bill Taber seen here could get down with shovel in hand to help clear some ice and snow before pushing through a four foot high berm as he and his hardy little crew work to open the railroad after the epic three feet of snow that was dumped on Washington County and much of the northeast.

Not quite the way I would do it.... 😉
Big female moose entered the vegetable garden, thankfully through the open gate rather than stepping over the (rabbit-proof) fence.
She is digging through the deep snow for vegetable remnants she can no doubt smell. I was nervous she might get a hoof hooked in the mesh of the pea fence, and get herself tangled. Thankfully she did not.
When she was through, she exited through the same open gate.
