Digging back in the archives looking at some long forgotten Smokies shots. Hope I can make it back there soon.

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.
Pileated Woodpecker digging into an old log for grubs. He carved some pretty decent holes very quick and was rewarded with some tasty bites.
The head in sand demonstration on New Brighton beach. The protesters had to do this three times to make sure their photographers had some good shots.
Here is the protest in Wellington and I have to point out that the sand is so much nicer in Christchurch:

Our friend here is sat on the wall of the excellent allotments in Bramham village encouraging us to dig for victory against this horrible virus. More homegrown food the less time we spend in the shops.
Stay safe and be alert my friends
Bramham is a village in the civil parish of Bramham cum Oglethorpe, West Yorkshire, England
Bramham is at the crossroads of the east-west Roman road from York through Tadcaster to Ilkley and the north-south Great North Road, now the A1 road, giving it a history that goes back to the Romans

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.
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.

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.

After yet another lake effect snow streamer settled over us last night, digging out has become a daily requirement. This view is looking out the back of our house down the street just as dawn was breaking. There hasn't been a snowplow here for several days now - they're too busy trying to keep up with clearing the main thoroughfares. When they do finally get here it's going to leave quite a pile of snow at the end of the driveway. Many of the county roads are closed altogether.
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.
Ugh. I am sick. I have taken lots of pills but none of them are working. Speaking of work -- it's all craps and fans there... loving that. I should be resting but I'm e-mailing and calling and ftping and editing and paperworking and UGH. HBW.
Oh and if anyone knows what this tree is please do let me know. It smells so lovely and has the most beautiful blossoms well into September now.
Figured it out -- it's a Clarodendron or Harlequin Glorybower.
