Digging spuds, in this case, Maris Pipers, in a field on the outskirts of Birchington.

Southern Railway "Merchant Navy" Class No.35018 "British India Line" works hard to get last Sunday's return "The Waverley" Carlisle - York charter up the gradient and away from the former Cumwhinton station.
Just digging through the archives and came across this one. It was made at a hotel with artificial lighting, so the colour was interesting but felt unnatural, so I converted to monochrome and kind of tided it up a bit. I particularly like the subtleties of the mist and complexities of the detail. Anyway, I need to start shooting again, haven’t been out in anger for quite a long time! Bloody Covid!!!

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

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.
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.

Just digging around in the past and came across this from a dusk shot in winter. I think I overlooked it a few years ago because I had (and still do to some regards) an aversion to manmade things and have attempted to showcase natural beauty in all that is nature. But, I like it, even if it’s full of buildings and unnatural light. Thing is, will it evoke the emotional reaction in time? Not sure but who knows? Anyway, if you have read this far you may agree or disagree with me… (o:

I need some colours in my stream. Photo taken August 2015.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
We were digging ourselves out before the sun came up. Stu will get the snowblower out later and finish the front.
Finding a purple insulator that wasn't broken would have been the icing on the cake but it didn't work out that way this week.

A quartet of Utah motors lug a heavy coal train up the east slope of Soldier Summit. With a 6-unit set of mid-train helpers cut-in this was a fabulous train to chase up the hill. These units were usually remarkably clean and made for great photography. The nice thing about the Utah during this time period was you could count on an eastbound empty out of Provo in the morning and the loaded train would head west in the afternoon. Add in the Grande trains and Soldier Summit was a special part of many of my photography trips.
Not normally the side of Bozeman Hill that the helpers are used to digging in on, this helper set is nevertheless attacking the west slope of Bozeman with gusto as they roll through West End with the Logan Local in tow. Just behind me is Bozeman Tunnel and the crest of the hill. Fun fact, the wooden wall just visible between the pine trees is home to number of Grizzly Bears, a neat to place to visit when in the area.
