Esta es una de las que mas me gusta, esa diagonal partiendo ese plano entre sus texturas y colores en el lado contrario.
A EB Train off the Omaha Line has stopped at Missouri Division Jct on October 22 1974. Today there is only track here for the IAIS and the track to the Golden State Main is now the interchange track between the IAIS and CP. Gary Powell photo from my collection.
Nothing at all fancy about this image. Standard NS power leading a stack train as it splits a set of modern Vader signals. Except, what would be extremely normal for some was extraordinary for me. Even though this is part of the Norfold Southern Chicago Line, this is actually the Dearborn Division in Port Clinton, Ohio. And this was my first, and only, Dearborn Division train to date.
You see, I was in Port Clinton in October 2019 as part of a Lake Erie lighthouse tour. We could hear trains traveling throughout all hours of the day and night, so on the last morning I went out to investigate. I found a quiet morning on the Chicago Sub, but as I walked back to the hotel, I heard this train in the distance. So I made a hasty pace back to the nearest crossing, S. Shirley Rd, and managed to catch this eastbound stacker just before it split the signals. Not perfect, not spectacular, but something I can add to my travels.
The Division / My Reshade: "Division Clarity"
Just some basic shots I liked (while playing @ native)

The Division / 3840x1299 / ReShade
I tweaked in ReShade as much as I could, but couldn't remove the overall pink/red haze in a way that satisfied me, so I used Photoshop for color balance tweaks (originals here).
An interesting scene panned out at Division Street in Saint Paul. The foreground train is a Union Pacific train that attempted and stalled trying to make the grade between Division Street and Westminster. Two GE motors on each end did not result in initial success. It occupied the track space for over and hour before finally backing into the Hoffman Yard. Meanwhile, a Canadian Pacific potash train passes on the adjacent mainline.
Happy Thanksgiving! Conway 252 and 255 are seen on the rear of a 470 Railroad Club special that ran between North Conway, Conway, and Fabyan's. Both the 252 and 255 are original Maine Central GP38s and are running on the former MEC Mountain Division. The train is running downgrade back to North Conway, and is photographed here just south of the Frankenstein Trestle.
Half a dozen TC&W Geeps lead the Saint Paul Turn across Division Street interlocking with a large train for the UP at South Saint Paul.

The Canadian 2nd Infantry Division liberated the several hunderd inhabitants that were still there on 12 April, 1945. The first soldiers to the camp were from the 8th Reconnaissance Regiment, followed by troops of the South Saskatchewan Regiment.
Following its use in World War II, the Westerbork camp was first used as a penalty camp for alleged and acussed Nazi collaborators and later housed Dutch nationals who fled the former Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). Between 1950-1970 the camp was renamed to Kamp Schattenberg and used to house refugees from the Maluku Islands.

"Después de que el capitán Morris de los 'Canadian Scotts' se hubiese reunido con Van As, el canadiense se dirigió a los prisioneros liberados. El texto lo había escrito en estilo telegrama en un papel, era una combinación de inglés y medio holandés. Debido a ello, y como consecuencia de la prisa en que lo había escrito, el texto es ahora difícil de leer y poco descifrable.
Según algunos testigos, a pesar de la gravedad de las noticias -'war it's not over yet' (la guerra aún no ha terminado)- fue algo realmente cómico".

"I never realized THE LENGHTS I'D HAVE TO GO..., All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know.... Just for one moment, I heard somebody call... Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all..."
A series of images from a walk up to Kidsty Pike via Nan Bield Pass in the English Lake District on a very cold day in the winter of 2023.
You know, I take photos for a whole lot of reasons, and sometimes it's just the colour, or shape, or whatever... but I'm as fond of the back story as anyone else...
This is a volleyball court in Mengwi, inland a bit from where we live. I managed to find out some more info, and the court was repainted in 2018. Things wear out fast here, so I'm aware the paint job looks a little older.
The idea was to make the court more appealing for spectators, and so everyone could feel some ownership.
The whole setup is just on the side of the road, and when I stopped there it was entirely deserted, aside from a few fishermen who were just returning from the nearby stream, most upset by the lack of a catch, but clearly proud to show off their facilities.
I always like to ask if it's okay for me to go in and take some photos, and they were quick to make me feel welcome. That's one of the wonderful things about Bali.
Members of the 29th Division Association, including veterans of WWII, visit Soldiers of the Fort Belvoir-based 29th Infantry Division on Annual Training at Fort A.P. Hill July 18. The Soldiers showed the vets, all prior members of the 29th ID, current weapon systems, vehicles, uniforms and body armor. During the visit, the vets ate lunch in the mess hall and witnessed 29th Soldiers navigating the Leader Reaction Course. (Photo by Staff Sgt. Andrew H. Owen, Virginia Guard Public Affairs)
