Life it seems will fade away
Drifting further everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me
Deadly loss this cant be real
Cannot stand this hell i feel
Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now, hes gone
No one but me can save myself, but its too late
Now i cant think, think why i should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now i will just say goodbye
Goodbye

Fading Grace
A monochrome study of decay and delicate structure. The intricate, crown-like tendrils and weathered texture of this dried Nigella seed pod (Love-in-a-Mist) stand out against a soft, muted background. A subtle reminder of the quiet beauty left behind as the season changes, and seen here in Newton-le-Willows cemetery.

The button is a little faded with wear, and the rose has definitely seen better days, but they came to my rescue for this week's challenge. I was starting to think I might need to do something desperate like tie a pink ribbon to a metal nut (!) when I suddenly remembered I had this button in my collection. It's hand-painted and dates back to the late 19th century. The button is exactly 1" across at its widest point.
For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Hexagon.
I may be absent Flickr for a while. My hard drive is dying, so I have to learn how to switch over to a new one before I lose a bunch of stuff. I guess it shouldn't take that long, but me and electronics don't really get along that well.
Wish me luck, and I'll see you guys in a while...
NSW Freightrail's ALCos DL500Bs 4472/4489 on the outskirts of Gunnedah, New South Wales with train no. 5W55 feed grain to Moree on the misty morning of 22 July 1993.
4472 appears to have had one too many acid washes - I was always a bit unlucky getting the tatty units leading when chasing 44s in NSW.

The flowers were actually blue. On1 brought up a hint of purple in its default rendition which I liked but tried to play down as the flowers were blue. Kind of liked the purple and thought the initial result was too contrasty and bold. So, went the other way with this one.

Just cut back some of my flowers and I brought in these Hydrangeas. I love the faded dusty rose color they have become. I took a lot of photos and want to do some experimenting with them with some new and old apps. I just couldn’t help doing this quick edit.
As leaves fade away into deep autumn, so as we seeing our freedoms fade, indeep be blasted away The norms we’ve always counted on are quickly disappearing. The flag is still there but it has been commandeered by a political movement that is nothing of which two thirds of our country want any part. We wait and worry.
Back on a great summer day in 2015, was capped off by a late evening departure of Pan Am train EDRJ. The all blue EMD lashup of course was delayed in leaving East Deerfield which only resulted in a couple of shots as evident of the shadows the train was led by GP40-2W, GP40, SD40M-2, and GP40 consist crossing the Green River. I would run out of light. Just like running out of light the all EMD would end in 2017. Nowadays Pan Am is mainly all patched blob ex CSX GE locomotives and really don’t have an interest in shooting Pan Am as much. Lucky to have got what I did of the tired EMDs.

Sometimes the imperfections brought on by experience has a unique beauty all of it's own.

Faded - Alan Walker
You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star
You fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alight
Where are you now?

The conductor watches at the switch while UP Y709 slows into Troy Grove, Illinois to begin the daily switching of sand cars. The colors of fall fade as does the paint on this 32 year old locomotive. Built March 1982 as MP1709 and later transitioned into the Union Pacific paint scheme seen today.
CN 8336 streaks past the long standing searchlight signals at the East end of Miworth siding, on CN's Nechako Subdivision in Northern British Columbia.
These signals were erected in 1983 after the existing steam era 2,250 foot long siding was lengthened as part of the 'BC Northeast Coal Development Plan'. CN's new operating plan for their BC North Line to Prince Rupert called for 6,200 foot sidings spaced approximately 12 miles apart, to allow for fluid movement of the soon to be frequent 100 car unit trains of export coal to Japan. Amongst the many changes this project brought to the formerly quiet secondary line, was the introduction of CTC control and signalling. Before this, train orders were still issued by hand, from numerous operators at remote depots along the line.
Almost four decades after being put into service, these signals are now dwindling in number on the BCNL. The 6,200 foot sidings which provided ample capacity for the standard unit trains of the 1980's and 90's, became the bottleneck to operations in the early 2010's. Port expansions at Prince Rupert to accommodate a massive increase in handling of marine shipping containers had been paying off for CN. The volume of traffic demanded more trains, or as the regime of CEO E. Hunter Harrison determined, less trains, but of a longer length. The passage of multiple trains per day in excess of the average siding length bogged down traffic flow. Subsequently siding extension projects began along the line, and with each project the adjacent Searchlights were replaced with modern colour light signals.
Today these Searchlight installations are in the minority on the BC North Line. These ones at Miworth are likely safe for the time being, as the sidings infrequent use due to it's proximity to the terminal at Prince George makes a costly siding extension unlikely. The Searchlights still standing in BC are not to be taken for granted though, so I suggest those who favor their aesthetic in photographs to make an effort to shoot them before they fade away.
