Messing around with a new technique, doing combined natural light and flash focus stack of unknown parasitoid wasp. Was observed taking massive beetles much larger than itself from a tree in a controlled fall and dragging them into a burrow in muddy soil next to mangroves.
Reading & Northern 2102 charges into the bottom of the grade at Nesquehoning with the first of the railroads annual “Fall Foliage” trains in tow.
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.

Been looking through the archives. What an emotional journey! Anyway, here is an image I processed several years ago and I for some reason didn’t feel it was up to the mark. Well today I do! Enjoy!
Old, photography, nostalgia, blar blar blar!
Over a foot and half of snow and bone chilling temps. 5* all day yesterday and I walked to the mail box and fed the birds...........that's it.

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
pretty old (ancient picture from 2008) in Malmo, Sweden. It was just a day trip accross "the bridge" from Copenhagen.
Digging through the old images brings back some great memories - a key reason for photography where the technical and artistic merits are secondary to the joy of those memories!. I'd actually forgotten I'd ever seen this building!!
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!!!
Digging spuds, in this case, Maris Pipers, in a field on the outskirts of Birchington.

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.

"There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure." --- Mark Twain
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.
