CSX L136 passes a store front on Broadway Street in Hanover, PA. The flag in the window and the 2756 both seem to be fading away...
Large-flowered Trillium turn a pink shade when they fade, somewhat signifying the end of the springtime woodland wildflower season. Sad but inevitable. Photographed in Perrot State Park near Trempealeau, Wisconsin.
As I walk alone in the desert,
I keep thinking on my way back.
What used to be here before me,
is now just a fading fact.
Many animals of the desert,
used to live here as they pleased.
The Indians lived among them,
before their land was seized.
The desert stretched for miles,
with not much else in sight.
Just the cactus and the scrub brush,
and a coyotes howl at night.
The water holes that dried up,
between the rains that seldom came.
Was staked out by the miners,
who marked them with their claim.
The river bottoms made of sand,
are empty most the year.
But when the monsoons do arrive,
they suddenly just reappear.
As the monsoons start to vanish,
and the water all goes away.
The desert starts to bloom,
and puts on a floral display.
Then everything dries up,
and not much will remain.
Then the winds begin to blow,
and it starts all over again.

Faded flowers may looks even better than fresh ones. Can you imagine such beauty of the tulip flower at the final stage of its existence?
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
We fade to gray
This one looks especially nice when viewed below the next photo. Strange colors! Blizzard! Hooray!
These were 'finished' when I brought them home, but a spoon of sugar and a soluble aspirin in the water revived them for a while. Nothing lasts forever and now these pretty sunflowers are just a fading memory.
Some of you might know I have memory problems, hence why I write and take pictures of apparently everything. When memories fade, what is left?
Soft afternoon light bounces off endless ridges fading into the distance.
Photographed while traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway near Mount Mitchell earlier this spring.
Looking forward to getting out with my camera again after a bit of a hiatus this summer.
Hope everyone's doing good and staying safe amidst the hurricanes.
I'll be posting some new images soon so be sure to stay tuned :-)

With sunlight fading at an alarmingly fast rate, the Virginian heritage unit came screaming through Lemoyne PA on the head end of train 15T just before the last shred of light ducked behind the trees.

This little creamery is somewhat unique around my area in being of brick construction rather than wood and iron.Even so it's slowly falling in to disrepair
D400 / 50050 "Fearless" in fading light at Salisbury with the 1422 Exeter to Waterloo in the last week of operation for the class on 14th January 1992.
I recall we'd headed to the Mule to try for some of the very few class 50 hauled trains left at the time. This was the only success of the day as it was the only serviceable 50 available! The end came four days later. "Fearless" was taken from Sherbourne to Salisbury before heading home in the car.
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Un homme dans une gare isolée
Une valise a ses cotés
Des yeux fixes et froids
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derriere d'un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back shop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long
the memories are fading away....the texture in this picture is the same rock that is the frame in the previous pictue
Fading Autumn
On a late October Friday at Letchworth State Park. Corky dropped me off at Archery Field overlook then drove down to the Lower Falls area to wait for me. A somber day. A beautiful day.

Sunset on a coastal walk along the coast of San Miguel, Azores. There was a nice balcony to watch this great sunset.
A site that I found on the scarp slope of the next set of hills to the east from Ilkley moor and to the north of Otley. Up hill from the 'Tree of life' petroglyph. The marks are faint and I used an HDR of three exposures to bring out the motifs. Cups, cups with single rings, and some enveloping with right angles and curves. There is almost an anthropomorphic figure in the outline that holds together the central conglomerate of cups, and you could almost argue that it may represent a God-like unifier aside field systems (?). The problem is that the outline fades at the hip and the photo is enhanced and the outline looks less anthopomorphic from a direct view... The stone is slightly tilted and this is the natural angle of view. There are also some more traditional cups and rings and basins in the local area.
This is a 32bit Tiff, so it can appear as dark on portable telephones.

that day we went to visit Ying-Ge town looking for a new chinaware, too bad, we didn't get a new one but we had a good time there tho.
my ma-chi, Jenny.... i like her eyes just gazed at the bubbles fading away...
Reminded me a lyric from Neil Young in "Hey Hey, My My....It's better to burn out than to fade away..."
What do you think?
Oxygen take over on metal easily when its become old and incect take over easily on wooden door when its become old
"This world can seem cool and grey
But you and I are here today
And we won't fade into darkness
No, we won't fade into darkness
Nothing to fear but fear itself
We'll be okay just keep the faith."
On November 9th the New Jersey side of the Hudson has already faded. Here on the Bronx side the maples had faded to yellow while the oaks had turned brown.

I thought up this concept the other day, mostly for wanting to try something new and for a bit of a challenge during editing. I've been editing it for a few hours now thinking it was going nowhere, but I'm finally happy with it!
Before shooting I spent a good few hours trying to work out where there was a cobbled street close by without going into the centre of town (where basically everywhere is cobbled) when I remembered there was a good few just down the road. I don't know why I felt I should mention that, I just don't like putting short descriptions.

It's time for a Freight Car Friday post again.
I like good old 50 ft Plate C boxcars that were built by the tens of thousands in the 1970s and 1980s. The issue Classic Trains Magazine that just came out had a fabulous story about the shortline IPD boxcar craze of the late 1970s that led to an explosion of this car type. But four decades on these classics are fading from the scene as modern Plate F cars are built to replace them and as boxcar use has continued to shrink. At the peak of that boom (which led to an oversupply for decades) the US boxcar fleet was about 500,000 cars in 1980 but has since dropped precipitously to around 100,000 today. That loss has been mitigated somewhat but by the fact new boxcars that have been built in recent years are all 286K cars and today only about 1/3 of the active fleet is of 263K or smaller cars. Amazingly in the last year the boxcar fleet actually grew by some 2.5% according to Railinc as replacements outstripped retirements for a change.
But regardless, these once ubiquitous cars are quickly fading from the scene so I like to shoot them whenever I can and this train is always assured to have many of them. A few fallen flag Guilford and Pan Am cars can be seen entrained on CSXT train M427 (Rigby to Selkirk manifest) that is curling off former Boston and Maine rails and onto former Boston and Albany (now P&W and CSXT property respectively) at CP45 on the elevated right of way beside Worcester Union Station.

Sunset in the Blue Mountains, taken from Echo Point Lookout in Katoomba, located about 100 km west of Sydney.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
Some flowers blooms with intense beauty, but for a very short time.
Some flowers blooms with lesser intensity and last longer, still beautiful
I guess that’s goes for us humans as well….
