At no point this year did I expect to catch a matched pair of warbonnets on a CPKC train...nearly 30 years after the official loss of Santa Fe to the BNSF merger.
After hours of blocking moves by UP at Valley Junction in East St. Louis, Illinois, CPKC M259 is finally on the move and headed for M&O Junction. There, the crew will flip the power to put the bad-ordered leader in trail, then head north to Roodhouse, and west to Kansas City.
Had to get this cool and unusual consist once I heard about it coming down on M258 the day prior. Thanks to DL and DM and all the other birdies who kept track of this move for the greater good of mankind.

Back a little earlier than expected after the holidays and super excited to come back to this fabulous house from BAZAR.
I love to blend modern contemporary design with the beauty of nature. Bazars' Nora Home allows for full floor-to-ceiling views a for seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces at almost every angle.
The Sleek lines and dramatic roof line create some impressive shadows. Perfect for any 'Grand Designs' wonderfully pretentious enthusiasts to match with minimalist furnishings, and a neutral color palette.
An easy to fill style with all your favourites from BAZAR itself, or Black Nest/Fourth Wall would compliment it amazingly. It's only 68 Li, perfect for a singleton or snug couple home with an open plan layout.

I didn't get as many photos as you might expect because I was doing most of the driving on this trip and as Anita will tell you , the driver doesn't get to take photos as much as the passenger! I did alternate with my daughter but when I wasn't driving, I was in the back seat with the Granddaughter keeping her entertained and doing things. When I took this she was "reading" one of her books. :) Late in the day and back in Virginia at this point. I thought the clouds were awesome so grabbed a quick shot. Today Anita and I are off to Tangier Island. A small fishing community in the Chesapeake Bay that can only be reached by an hour and a half Ferry Boat ride! Should be interesting.
A few weeks ago I posted some photos of Lake Gnangara. It was dry and lifeless. It is a seasonal lake. I returned there as the winter rains started to fall. The lake was still pretty dry but was starting to fill. There were stormclouds about and some green was returning to the plants and trees. I will visit there again very soon and expect the lake to be full plus lots of waterbirds etc.
The colour and light were fantastic for my last visit.
HZ-AND at Shannon in July 2007. The former Saudi Arabian MD11F's are now starting to leave Jeddah with N776ML en route to Shannon 28/1/18 and the other 3 expected to follow.
Were you expecting an exploding pen?
We don't really go in for that anymore.

One does not expect to find such a grand home, let alone a castle in the middle of rural Western Illinois.
Another shot of Worthing pier mid mini blizzard...it's the only bit of snow we've had all year so I got a bit excited!
In our earth-lab, a life form has existed randomly, thanks to the reaction of atoms of the ingredients which were already there, in the lab, for the creation of this life form. It has started to develop and expand on the earth, randomly. Later, after billions of years, it got conscious, randomly , but not all life forms have headed to the same direction. The evolution occurred according "the tree of life”.
Speculation:
Big bang has sealed the fate of our future by creating the atom based universe, like all the necessary ingredients were put in a beaker, in a chemical lab, to become the expected ( not randomly) chemical solution.
A life form is the expected result, depending of the time, of the existence and reaction of ingredients in a beaker.
Not expecting much input re this image however when trawling through some old files I re-found this. I liked it at the time as it's such a magical part of the world.
It's funny, when I was standing there, this seemed like such a magical scene, with the ice tinkling in the wind and the waves crashing and all the ice sparkling everywhere. I took probably 30 versions of this photo while I was standing there and I thought it was going to be great. But, somehow, this wide shot just looks more dirty and cluttered than I expected on the screen, and it's really the closeups of the ice branches that came out the best. I mean, I like the photos of this scene, but not nearly as much as I had expected when I was standing there.
Into the Light - Day 28 - Year 2022
--------------------------------------------------
Taken through the kitchen window, which is double pane glass, so not the best for focus. We expect at least 15, possibly 18 inches of snow overnight with blizzard conditions. If so, this scene should look quite different tomorrow.
I had such profound memories of this city, Barcelona, the architecture is fabulous, esp. all Antoni Gaudi's creations. Hopefully I'll go back to visit again when his Sagrada Familia is expected to be finished by 2026.
Expect one, get two! A pair of Network Rail's Stoneblowers stop off briefly on centre road at Lincoln Station before carrying on to their final destination 4th October 2021.
At the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, FL.
When the British attacked St. Augustine in summer 1740, they expected a quick and easy victory. They underestimated the strength of the Castillo de San Marcos and the courage of its Spanish defenders. After besieging the town for 38 days the British gave up and returned to Georgia.

When I first moved to the West Coast, one of our initial trips was to Santa Cruz. We took a short hike through a redwood grove near Santa Cruz, visited Natural Bridges State Park, and drove up the coast. While driving north, we stumbled upon a small cove called Shark Fin Cove, which I thought would be an excellent spot for landscape photography. Although I didn't have a chance to revisit the location, marking it on my map proved helpful when we visited Monterey earlier this year. During our weekend visit, the central coast was hit with a massive storm and heavy rain. Forcing us to rethink our initial plans. So we decided to try some scenic drives, and I was able to revisit all the spots we had stopped at during our first trip along this part of the coast. As expected, Shark Fin Cove didn't disappoint.
Paraje "Siete Puentes"
Este paraje se halla en los límites de los partidos de Coronel Dorrego y Rosales, a ciencia cierta, entre las estaciones Falcon y Paso Mayor, el ramal fue clausurado hace más de treinta años y se lo conoce como Paraje Siete Puentes, y perteneció al Ferrocarril Rosario – Puerto Belgrano. Es una estructura de tablero abierto, consta de 7 tramos, 6 de ellos, de la misma longitud, conformados por vigas laterales reticuladas de cordones paralelos, y un tramo de menor longitud, sumando el conjunto 266 metros. Los tramos apoyan sobre pilares de ladrillos. Este ramal era operado por capitales franceses. El Consejo Deliberante de Coronel Rosales lo declaró patrimonio histórico, se espera en estos momentos que el Congreso Nacional haga lo mismo, ya que se trata de una estructura que en la antigüedad fue eje rector de la comunicación entre el puerto de Bahía Blanca con el resto del país.

Paraje "Siete Puentes"
This place is located in the limits of the parties of Coronel Dorrego and Rosales, for sure, between the Falcon and Paso Mayor stations, the branch was closed more than thirty years ago and is known as Paraje Siete Puentes, and belonged to the Railroad Rosario - Puerto Belgrano. It is an open board structure, consisting of 7 sections, 6 of them of the same length, formed by lateral beams reticulated with parallel cords, and a section of shorter length, adding the whole 266 meters. The sections support brick pillars. This branch was operated by French capitals. The Council of Deliberation of Coronel Rosales declared it historical heritage, it is expected at the moment that the National Congress does the same, since it is a structure that in ancient times was the guiding axis of communication between the port of Bahía Blanca and the rest from the country.

Hay que distinguir la diferencia entre querer y amar.
El concepto querer lleva implícita la idea de posesión. Te quiero para algo, para que estés conmigo, para que me acompañes, para que compartas alguna actividad, etc.
A fin de cuentas, los seres queridos son seres de los que se espera algunos comportamientos que nos causen satisfacción.
Querer es, generalmente, causa de sufrimiento. Si quiero a alguien, tengo expectativas, espero algo. Si la otra persona no me da lo que espero, sufro. El problema es que hay una mayor probabilidad que la otra persona tenga otras motivaciones, pues todos somos muy diferentes entre sí.
Cada ser humano es un universo.
Amar es desear lo mejor para el otro, aún cuando éste tenga otras motivaciones muy distintas. Amar es permitir que seas feliz, aún cuando tu camino sea diferente al mío. Es un sentimiento altruista y desinteresado. Por esto, el amor nunca será causa de sufrimiento.
Cuando una persona dice que ha sufrido por amor, en realidad ha sufrido por querer, no por amar. Se sufre por apegos. Si realmente se ama, no puede sufrir, pues nada ha esperado del otro. Cuando amamos nos entregamos sin pedir nada a cambio, se da por el simple y puro placer de dar.
Amar produce un gozo profundo. Es la alegría de dar. La única manera de darse cuenta de esto es empezar a aprender a amar. Se puede comenzar por actos pequeños, con las personas a quienes más queremos. Luego, debe extenderse a todas las personas, en todo momento.
“Es difícil encontrar que alguien me ame. Es más fácil encontrar que alguien me quiera para algo, mientras sea necesario y útil para alguien. Pero son pocas las personas que dan amor altruista y desinteresado.”
Pero si bien es difícil encontrar a alguien que me ame, tenemos más de seis mil millones de personas, en todo el mundo, que necesitan amor. Y la mayor felicidad no está en ser amado, sino en la acción de amar al otro.
De modo que nuestra felicidad y gozo está asegurado si dejamos nuestro egoísmo. Seguro que a nuestro alrededor hay cientos de personas que serán felices cuando compartamos con ella nuestro amor. Y no hay problema al darlo: dar amor no agota el amor, por el contrario, lo aumenta.
note to self, take your tripod and macro lens...Me "i don't need that stuff, there's nothing that would require that stuff..." me later, dang, i'm cold but i should take my butt back to this place, and do it right...i drove off, warming up as i left..

I wasn't expecting to see it this month with all the clouds. I walked out to go to the garage, saw this scene and grabbed the camera to capture it.
KCSM 4544 pulls a short MALNP out of South St Paul for a run down the Albert Lea Sub. I finished chasing CP 7022 and was about to head home but I saw this train stopped in the distance and the leader looked unusual. A short chase occurred after, this is also a spot that's been on my list for a while just never attempted it until now.

Dear friends,
Summer is a busy season and it looks like that I will have time to upload new images but not always comment on your beautiful photos. I hope you forgive me. Short winter days and long nights are coming sooner than one expects! We should all enjoy summer and sunhine and be creative in photography!
Working atm on the June 2020 exhibition @ Nitroglobus

Do make a note in your agenda: Monday 8 June, 12 pm SLT (= 21 hrs GMT+1) it's party time!
“The beauty of handmade is in the imperfections.” ...
The joy of creating things.
Crochet a Christmas wreath and attach flowers and butterflies with small decorations. Also crochet a small glass jar with a tea light inside. Everything decorated with small details.
I did this 8 years ago.
We had a Christmas market here in the building for charity: the Assistance Dog.
With 3 women we crocheted a lot and we raised a lot of money with the proceeds. But unfortunately we had had enough of crocheting for a while... ;-) But we had so much fun doing it and with love !!
And what a surprise, these handcrafted works are at Explore! December 23the 2024, position 119! I didn't expect it at all!
