You just have to look around and take in the scenes. Sometimes I cannot believe my life - I get to hike the Welsh mountains and to shoot in them.
When I used to live in the Black Country area of the West Midlands and my pass times were visiting Dudley's pubs winter was my least favourite season - but since moving to north Wales and discovering mountains winter has become the season I look forward to.

Moving forward with another Nordic Re-Finance (T)ME locomotive that has recently been given a new identity. A former blue-loco, ME 1526 is now known as "The Wild Swans" (De vilde svaner) which is yet another fairytale of H. C. Andersen. What's curious about the design is that its base is a gradient between lighter and darker shades of marine blue, resulting in two different cab ends.
The locomotive was spotted running light (and late) through Nordhavn in Copenhagen. The empty steel train is missing behind it as the factory will be soon closing for summer vacations and the workload is thus decreasing. Later in the night, the ME came back with several loaded Samms cars.
There is the third special ME loco that NRFAB stylized for DB Cargo. But we'll get to it once it's caught in front of the camera...
Fun and games at Green Lane, The Wirral as a Merseyrail class 508 EMU enters the station from the underground section.
I was drawn to the repetitive arrowhead of the footbridge and approaching EMU. A change of pace, and probably limited appeal, but I figured it was worth waiting for a couple of trains to get what I was after.

Springing farward in time, as we do in Texas, only creates an illusion in our minds as if cutting of the bottom of a blanket and and then sewing it at the top!

thx to everyone!
After more than 2 1/2 months in hospital my lovely Mum will hopefully be discharged tomorrow. We are looking forward to having her here with us for a while and hopefully we will be able to aid her in her recuperation following her stroke!
Apologies for my absence during this time.
1964 built SKL1 "Friedhelm" (ex DB Klv51) at the DEV depot in Bruchhausen-Vilsen.
Until 1989 it was used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn.
Way back in the day, diesels were first starting to take over, and the "Long Hood Forward" operation was used by almost every railroad at the time. This operation is when the long hood of the locomotive is the front rather than the short hood, and was used as both a safety consideration and because it was similar to how most steam locomotives were built. However, due to the lack of visibility, most railroads switched to short hood running by the time the second generation diesels were being built. A few railroads did continue to regularly use long hood as the main way of running, with the most famous examples being the Southern Railway and the Norfolk & Western. In the modern day, you can still see trains running long hood forward, though rare, it does happen under certain circumstances.
When the California Northern Railroad had received a gypsum train from the UP bound for Artois, the train was facing a problem heading south. Though the train originally had three motors when it left for California, with one of the motors facing east, the east facing locomotive was having problems. Specifically, the batteries weren't holding charge, and therefore the unit could not stay powered on. Although this unit was supposed to lead the return trip, it had to be dropped in Roseville so it could get repaired, and a replacement motor would not be picked up. Therefore, the train would arrive on California Northern with only two west facing motors, running on a line with only one fully intact wye. With the wye also being a multiple hour trip from the train's destination, that left turning the units around out of the picture. When it came time for the train to leave Artois, it was decided that the crew would run the 28 miles to Cortena long hood forward and then pick up a new lead motor that was tied down there. The trip would take a bit longer than usual though, as both of the units did not have rear ditch lights, meaning the train would be restricted to 20 mph. After picking up the new locomotive, a 3GS21B (genset), the train would be able to run at both track speed and not long hood forward.
In the photo, the gypsum is on the return trip as it passes by the Cortena siding. The train had only just cleared the north switch not even a minute prior, and would start to slow down as the genset that would be picked up was sitting at the south end of the siding. The train would be stopped for about a half hour before continuing with the new leader. After getting to the UP at Davis, the genset would be taken off and the UP power would be thrown around the wye before tying down for a UP crew to pick it up later that night.
A marabou stork on Ndutu Lake can't complete for looks with her nearby glamorous flamingo neighbours, but she can still hold her head up and put her best foot forward. These are huge carrion-eating storks wth wingspans up to ~10 ft. Their featherless heads help them to stay cleaner when they are feasting on large corpses. Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania.

The sun was out, we went for a long walk and autumn is moving forward. I hope the colors hold out for a little bit longer.
On one of my occasional morning walks through Amsterdam I came across this cat that was peering down from the balcony with its paws sticking through the gap.
