I came up empty-handed this morning (and misery loves company) so here’s another one from Madison County Lake a few days ago.
Nikon D7200 — Nikon 18-300mm F6.3 ED VR
500mm
F5.6@1/1,000
ISO 2,800
Cropped
I’m still in the learning stage with birds so in case you’d like to know, I have the camera preset (on a Nikon D7200 it is the U2 button) for shutter speed. I actually did it for rodeo but it works okay for birds: F5.6 (widest aperture for my big lens) with a shutter speed of 1/800th and the ISO set on Auto. You can reset the shutter speed just by turning the thumb wheel and you can see I cranked it up to 1/1,000 here. The one thing that works for rodeo but not for birds is the auto-focus preset. I have it set on AFContinuous but I had the focus point set on a limited range (9 points?). It’s pretty easy to get the focus point on a horse at 100 feet. Not so much with a bird at 100 yards. I’m currently trying the 3D setting where the computer finds the bird but I’m not settled on it yet. It works great with the sky as a background. Not so much with a forest.

LOVE it or HATE it. There's is nothing in-between when it comes to the DURIAN.
Odorously fulsome but intoxicatingly sweet, the durian emits a stink which welcomes those who await its season. Strangers of the fruit of course scream at its sewer smell. But eating the golden flesh of cream and honey will convince even the uninitiated why the durian is considered by many as the king of fruits. Long banned in airports and hotels, the durian is also known to be a dangerous projectile to anyone sneaking a shade under the tree during its fruit-ripening season.
I am guilty to have been party to the flesh's demise in the picture above. This photo is taken one late night at the Banilad fruit stand, Cebu City, the Philippines.

Well, almost...
Sundays afternoon, when it's warm and streets empty, I love to wander and try to catch the soul and ghosts of the streets...
As jobs throughout railroads rotate, trains will run on a daily, bi, tri, etc-weekly schedule in their own corresponding directions. Once in a blue moon though, trains will happen to be going to the same direction at the same time, and some railroads, like the Mass Coastal, combine trains to save money on equipment use and in this particular railroad's case, having the Canal lift bridge lower for the train once instead of twice to minimize time of waterway obstruction, caused by the lowered bridge.
This train consisted of the morning trash train from Rochester, MA to Yarmouth MA, bringing empties to be filled with trash at the Yarmouth Transfer Center. Dead in tow (but soon to be fired up), an Ex-Penn Central and Conrail GP40-2, now LTEX 3011, was on the trash train as well as it needed to be sent to Hyannis for mechanical reasons. It would be dropped after the 2008 tied down with the loads for the afternoon crew to take up later that evening, then fired up to be taken solo. From YTC, it went North to Yarmouth Junction to the switch dividing the Dennis/Yarmouth Branch and Hyannis/Cape Main branch.
Here, they threw the switch so the 3011 could move south to Hyannis where it was dropped and tied down at the mechanical shops in Hyannis Yard. Behind the trash train, an empty C&D train is in tow, where it'll split off at the lift bridge and head south to Otis, grab loads, and head north to Rochester for the day.
This was amazing, an empty hallway in Versailles. No people!
As I remember it, the palace was packed with wall to wall people.
I just happened to catch a lull in the procession.
The scope of Versailles is beyond my imagination. Room after room, art piece after art piece. So much history. A several hour visit doesn't do it justice, but longer would be information overload.
I was very glad to get outside to the gardens and away from the crowds.

When I put a grid across this image it looks close to true, but the slight angle of the shadows across the floor makes it look skewed to my eye.

A detail of the base of the waterfall Öxarárfoss in Iceland.
Öxarárfoss is a small waterfall in Þingvellir National Park, Iceland. It flows from the river Öxará. The base of the waterfall is filled with basalt rocks.
Best on black.
An interesting one this, and a tad frustrating.
A Sellafield - Barrow Ramsden Dock appeared in RTT on Sunday for today, as did a path for the return working.
These workings would be transporting the out-of-guage Japanese nuclear flasks but unfortunately I didn't know in which direction the train would be loaded.
That was a pain as I was unable to get the day off and had to make do with swapping a shift in order to phot' it.
With the outward travelling mid' morning and the return mid' afternoon it was either get on a back-shift and shoot the morning train or an early shift and do the later return.
I took a punt on the later train after checking the weather forecast and that turned out to be the wrong option as this was the unladen journey!
Weather was crap anyway so it didn't really matter in the end. I used the exercise as an opportunity to try out my new "L"-series 70-200mm lens.
The result's a bit grainy as the rainy gloom meant ISO 800 was called for.
For the record No.37606 leads the empty KXA at Gutterby with No.37602 on the rear as 7C24.

"What do you mean they're empty? There are supposed to be treats in there!" Flattery has had a rude awakening this evening. It may take a day or two to recover...

A Great Northern GP35 hauls a cut of empty ore jennies back from the steel mill.
The locomotive is by Athearn; the taconite ore cars are from Walthers. The models are owned by NAPM member Greg Ryan.

The covered walkway from near the former Avenue store.
The Lincoln Park Shopping Center opened in 1957 as one of the Detroit Area's largest shopping centers. The Sears opened the previous year and was once the top grossing Sears store. In the 2000s the shopping center became mostly empty besides Dollar Tree, Sears, and a Big Boy Restaurant on an out-parcel. Plans for a Walmart to open at the shopping center fell through twice.

An empty station, well that is what it seemed like when I took this photograph at Wansford Station on the 15th September 2017. It was the eve of the Nene Valley Railway Annual Autumn Steam Gala and LNER A4 Gresley Pacific 4-6-2 No.60009 Union Of South Africa [which was the special guest locomotive over the weekend] was preparing for the Fish And Chip Special on the Friday night.

And... I still cry...
For all my killed friends, neighbors and their kids!
YOU will be always in my heart!
I survived this madness, but THEY didn't!
NEVER FORGET!
Photo #21 in project 365
There is a huge rusty train bridge right near Drexel. Lots of trash underneath as usual. I found a pair of worn but still perfectly good boots standing neatly right in a middle of a garbage pile. I don't know why, but boots without legs in them look so lonely for me. Like their owner took them for a walk, got to the place and just abandoned, probably walking away in brand new shoes. So sad.
