The cloud reminded me a spacecraft. After showing the photo to my son, we both agreed it looked a bit like Star Trek's Enterprise.

The background was one of my captures from Nova Scotia of the night sky. The photo of the night sky here was on my UHD TV, with the ornament hanging from fishing string taped from our ceiling. I needed to project the night sky on the large TV screen that allowed the 14mm wide angle lens to be used for the capture giving the expansive backdrop.
Single capture processed in Lightroom only.
The Enterprise arrives at the Planet Christmas :)
Pulled the 14mm landscape lens out for some captures at the tree ... really like the results of the 14mm there wide open at f/1.8.

Porcelain Patchwork by Narin Kantawong:
"I was fascinated by the ancient Chinese Porcelain vases and wanted to re-create the broken pieces patched together. Like putting together a new story, new values and feelings through times."

A loaded BNSF grain train digs into the start of the long grade out of the Smoky Hill River Valley behind a warbonnet. This train spent most of the day tied down north/west of Abilene, but finally got rolling after 15:00, had to pick up 2 units at Abilene, and finally got rolling yet again after 16:00.
37153 arrives at Elgin with 6H51, the morning service from Inverness to Aberdeen with 10 discharged PCA cement wagons heading back to Dunbar for reloading. At this time Elgin still received a number of commodities and was the hub for the wagonload traffic using the then new Enterprise network. A second service (6H55 0925 Aberdeen - Inverness) would arrive and they would swap traffic over before continuing on there way. Timber, coal and cement were the main commodities but many other products were tried for a few years until it all petered out. The area has been railfreight free for many years now.

“The deeper the white man went into Africa, the faster the life flowed out of it, off the plains and out of the bush...vanishing in acres of trophies and hides and carcasses.” — Peter Beard
A landmark publication on Africa, The End of the Game combines Peter Beard’s salient text and remarkable photographs to document the overpopulation and starvation of tens of thousands of elephants, rhinos, and hippos in Kenya’s Tsavo lowlands and Uganda parklands in the 1960s and ’70s.
Researched and compiled over two decades, and updated several times since with new material, this is Beard’s essential book—a powerful and poignant testimony to the damage done by human intervention in Africa. His own images and writings are supplemented by historical photographs of, and quotations from, the enterprisers, explorers, missionaries, and big-game hunters whose quest for adventure and “progress” were to change the face of a continent: Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courteney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway, and J. H. Patterson.
This new edition includes an interview with conservationist Dr. Esmond Bradley Martin, as well as essays from previous editions by renowned writer Paul Theroux and ecologist Dr. Richard M. Laws, and contributions to the afterword by agronomist Dr. Norman Borlaug. Touching on such themes as distance from nature, density and stress, and loss of common sense, this seminal portrait is as resonant today, amid growing environmental crises, as it was a half century ago.
"Più l'uomo bianco si addentrava nell'Africa, più velocemente la vita scorreva fuori da esso, dalle pianure e dalla boscaglia... svanendo in acri di trofei, pelli e carcasse." — Peter Beard
Una pubblicazione fondamentale sull’Africa, The End of the Game combina il testo saliente di Peter Beard e le straordinarie fotografie per documentare la sovrappopolazione e la fame di decine di migliaia di elefanti, rinoceronti e ippopotami nelle pianure dello Tsavo in Kenya e nei parchi dell’Uganda negli anni ’60 e ’70.
Ricercato e compilato nel corso di due decenni, e aggiornato più volte da allora con nuovo materiale, questo è il libro essenziale di Beard: una testimonianza potente e toccante del danno arrecato dall’intervento umano in Africa. Le sue immagini e i suoi scritti sono integrati da fotografie storiche e citazioni di imprenditori, esploratori, missionari e cacciatori di grossa selvaggina la cui ricerca di avventura e "progresso" avrebbe cambiato il volto di un continente: Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courteney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway e J. H. Patterson.
Questa nuova edizione include un'intervista con l'ambientalista Dr. Esmond Bradley Martin, nonché saggi delle edizioni precedenti del famoso scrittore Paul Theroux e dell'ecologo Dr. Richard M. Laws, e contributi alla postfazione dell'agronomo Dr. Norman Borlaug. Toccando temi come la distanza dalla natura, la densità, lo stress e la perdita del buon senso, questo ritratto fondamentale è altrettanto risonante oggi, in mezzo alle crescenti crisi ambientali, quanto lo era mezzo secolo fa.
