Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire is one of England’s very few remaining pieces of original fenland. It is a protected wetland site of international standing. The wind pump here, a smock mill, was originally at nearby Adventurer’s Fen and is the last survivor of the many thousands that once dotted the fenlands.
A fen is a waterlogged place with reeds and other plants growing in standing water, beneath which are peats and, nearer the sea, marine silts. These flat wetlands were interspersed by islands (like Ely) carrying villages and small towns. Transport was by boat.
That was the original Fenland. Much of what is now called the Fens in eastern England is a modern landscape. The original fenland was drained from 1629 onwards by Dutch engineers to give very rich farmland.
An unexpected long-term result was that the underlying peat beds dried out and shrank. Fields sank by 2m or so and became lower than the drainage channels and rivers! Continuous pumping was then needed - first by wind pumps like this survivor at Wicken. Eventually the picturesque windpumps were replaced by steam power, then by diesel or electrically driven pumps.

Just a simple candid street style Snapograph captured at London UK of a guy going about his important business of helping to keep our streets clean.
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to put amongst their "FAVES".
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to leave a "Comment", I'll do my very best to reply to you individually.
“The way I see it, hard times aren't only about money,
or drought,
or dust.
Hard times are about losing spirit,
and hope,
and what happens when dreams dry up.”
My first ride in the cab of a steam locomotive. The engineer was kinda young. Niles Canyon Railway near Sunol, California.
GB Railfreight (Ex-RushRail T66405) passes Waterbeach on the rear of the 6T64 0840 Willesden Junction to Whitemoor Yard L.D.C Gbrf engineers. Classmate GBRF 66748 'West Burton 50' was leading.
"On June 7th, 1942, Japanese forces seized the small island of Attu from the United States. The following year, an invasion was launched to wrestle the Aleutian Islands chain from back Japan. A few weeks into the battle, Japanese forces unexpectedly launched a massive assault on the American lines at night, creating a rapid breakthrough. Sweeping over the front lines and through the rear aid stations, they killed the wounded who lay in their tents. Hundreds of Japanese continued to push the Americans back, right up to a hill that contained the base camp for some rear echelon troops, most engineers and cooks. As front line soldiers retreated from the pursuing enemy, the engineers and cooks stood their ground, repelling the Japanese banzai attack. By the end of the day, most of the Japanese garrison on Attu had been annihilated."
I've always wanted to do something to honor the (arguably) most forgotten campaign in WWII, so I decided to whip this little scene together. I posted a picture of the diorama as well, so you can view it as just a build. Hope you like it!
Cheers mates!
We come to Sault St. Marie, Michigan and today starts engineers weekend. Lots of activities and we get to watch many of the freighters going up bound and down bound.
The engineer has backed off on the throttle as the top of the hill out of the Missouri River valley is about where the train disappears behind the trees.
Another nice patch of mowed grass with the added bonus of a cool old vator highlights the shot at Wilton. The timing was perfect because the tree shadows were nearly to the track.
Waiting for the pressure to build up before taking Old #3 on a shakedown after a several month refurbishment. Niles Canyon Railway maintenance facility, near Sunol, California.
Freightliner Class 66 66592 "Johnson Stevens Agencies" passes Woodacre near Garstang on 6y50 0920 Garstang & Catteral - Carlisle N.Y. on 05/07/2020

Brittle stars, an alternate common name is the 'serpent stars', are a species-rich class of echinoderms with outstanding regenerative abilities. Living under rocks or in crevices with only the tips of the arms exposed, they are known to be seafloor ecosystem engineers. They reshape the seafloor sediment surface and influence the distribution of other seafloor species. They also provide nutrition to fish, sea stars and crab predators.
Their presence in a sediment sample is one indicator of a healthy benthic community. They embody nature's fragility and resilience.

Amtrak engineer Jon Kayes curves the Pennsylvanian around Polish Hill as the train leaves Pittsburgh, getting started on its journey across Pennsylvania and eventually up the Northeast Corridor to New York City.
Built in 1892 in collaboration with British engineer Charles Assheton Whately Pownall during the Meiji era (1868–1912) when Japan was rapidly modernizing. It served as a railway passage between Yokokawa in Gunma and Karuizawa in Nagano. Services stopped in 1963, and the bridge was repurposed as part of a nature trail in 2001.
As Johnny Cash once said about his younger years "You know, for some reason, it was awfully important to me that I when I waved at the engineer, he waved back at me"
Likewise, every since first visiting America, I've also done that and most times, when you can actually see into the cab, the engineer does indeed wave back. Although you can't see it in this photo, he opened the side window and gave a friendly wave. Once the train had passed I had a big smile on my face.

The title refers to the only engineer's name that I automatically recall from a classic Dr Who episode. Unfortunately Engineer Eckersley was a bad 'un, in league other bad 'uns to steal the valuable mining deposits.

Steam locomotive MINAZ No. 1716, 2-6-0, built by Henschel & Sohn in 1913, constr. no. 12428, still in operation at former sugar mill Australia (sugar mill no. 303 of Cuba).
An epic trip - 6-hours, 30-miles from Ouray to Lake City, Colorado - with rough rocky patches, switchbacks, shelf roads, and sweeping vistas all the way, reaching almost 13,000 feet at the summit. A Jeep Badge of Honor trail for good reason.
From TrailsOffroad.com: In the late 1800’s, miners started digging for gold, silver, lead and other ore in the San Juan Mountains. They needed a way to get people and the ore out to the nearby towns. Those roads left by the long-abandoned mines are now some of the most famous off-road trails in the books. Engineer Pass, a 30-mile trail, is one of them and is part of a trail now known as the Alpine Loop.
There are multiple mine ruins to view and explore the grounds of along the way including the Hard Tack Mine and the Michael Breen Mine.
Mile after mile provides new and more amazing views of Colorado and the San Juan mountains. Oh Point and the official summit have breath-taking panoramas of the mountains.
This trail goes well above the timberline at just over 12,900’. With the altitude comes stunning views of the mountains to the north including the Uncompahgre, Coxcomb, Wetterhorn and Wildhorse mountain peaks. The view is so expansive at Oh Point that on a very clear day, you might be able to see all the way to Utah if you turn your eyes to the west.
Unbelievably there were /are 9 engineers trains heading East through Teignmouth and Dawlish today. It was in connection with a major engineering project in the Plymouth area. In addition to the bonus services there was a total block situation along the sea wall, this meant that the trains crawled along this stretch of line at 5 mph, the trains could be in line of sight of each other with no signalling knowing they could come to a stop, even in the tunnels. At one point we had two trains on the same track on the sea wall at Dawlish within sight of each other.
66074 eeks its way along the wall with old track forming the 1031 from Hemerdon to Westbury, 70801 had not long disappeared around the corner at Langstone Cliff.
Plenty of walkers along the sea wall burning off the roast spuds. I think everyone of them asked myself and a few other fellow phottwers what was occurring.

Utah Railway engineer Stu Turner commands the controls of the RUT311 local as it rumbles into North Salt Lake, Utah, on May 15, 2012. Stu was one of the kindest railroaders I've ever met, offering a friendly wave or a trackside chat. He was tragically taken from us in July 2020 due to brain cancer.
Saint Michael's Castle was built by architects Vincenzo Brenna and Vasily Bazhenov in 1797–1801. It was named for St Michael the Archangel, patron saint of the royal family. The castle looks different from each side, as the architects used motifs of various architectural styles such as French Classicism, Italian Renaissance and Gothic
