This beautiful beach is at Nelson Bay. A tiny shack settlement with a permanent registered population of four. That's right, four. If you want off-grid living, this is the place to be. And far enough from the rest of the world to be able to not give a care either. In this part of the world, the Tasmanian east coast is a foreign country.
A malicious barren place, the desert holds nothing, promises nothing. I dare not have expectations. No matter how foreign the land may seem, it is I who is foreign.
The Sumela Monastery, which stands on the foot of a steep cliff facing the Altındere Valley in the region of Maçka in Trabzon Province, Turkey, is popularly known as “Meyem Ana” (The Virgin Mary). The building complex is nearly 300 meters high and was built following the tradition of monasteries that were located outside the cities in forests near cave and source of water. The elevation of the Monastery is about 1350 meters.
The Monastery, founded in honor of the Virgin Mary, took the name of “Sumela” which derives from “Melas,” meaning black. Although it is thought that it has taken this name from the mountains, the Karadağlar (Black Mountains), on which it stands, it could also be associated with the black color of the icon of the Virgin Mary.
According to tradition, the Monastery was founded by two priests called Barnabas and Sophronius who came from Athens during the reign of the Emperor Theodousius I (AD 375 - 395). Then, in the 6th century, it was restored by the General Belisarius at the behest the Emperor Justinian who wanted it to be enlarged and restored.
The Monastery reached its final, present form in the 13th century. It gained importance during the reign of Alexios III (1349 - 1390) of the Comnenian Empire of Trabzon, which had been established in 1204. Its income was assured from imperial funds. During the time of Manuel III, son of Alexios III, and the reigns of later princes, Sumela gained further wealth from new imperial grants.
During the 18th century, many parts of the Monastery were restored and the walls were decorated with frescoes. In the 19th century, the Monastery took on an impressive appearance with the addition of larger buildings. This was the Monastery’s heyday and it attracted many foreign travelers who mentioned it in their writings.
The large building with a balcony on the front part of the cliff was used for the monks’ cells and as a guesthouse, it dates to 1860.

Your eyes don't deceive you! The UP Computer system sure didn't believe that the GTW 5937 had made its way onto the LMC40 for the second consecutive day, but it sure did!
This engine came into town with another CN unit, the 5773, presumably on an HNTP, the power got split up, and reallocated for other purposes. I can count on exactly one hand how many times I've seen foreign-road power lead this local over the years, and to make it a good looking SD40-2? Yes, please!
For the record, this non-dynamic 40-2 was built in 1975 as the MP 3196, so it's very likely spent plenty of time in the Sunflower State in the past.

#CN585 passes through the little yard in Prescott, with an NS Dash 9 taking the lead, hauling cars for Brockville. In the back are some GATX Tank Train RAM sets, which will be eventually sent to the old Ultramar in Maitland.
CSX G685 passes the signals of NE Englewood at 2:13am. Leading the way is NS 8105, one of the companies heritage units, with this one honoring the Interstate. While the NS ones are fairly common to see on NS leading around here, it’s extremely rare to see them on their east coast competitor. With the chance to get them at these signals being presented, I couldn’t take advantage of this opportunity. 1-27-24
While this wasn’t the angle I was after here, it still made do. I didn’t have as much time as I thought I would to set up. DFB7199 and a trio of DX’s work train 939 through Chertsey enroute to Dunedin
