No, I am not talking about the walk of this worker. I am talking about the life of them, born > work hard-harder-hardest > die :(
How unlucky they are :( ...
Our cat Figaro casting a shadow onto the back of our front door at sunset. This alignment of light only happens for a little while in the spring and fall when the leaves on the trees are absent and the sun lines up just right.

A wonderful holiday in Gambia, lived it to the full, and need a holiday to get over it, taken,10,000 images which I have sorted in the last week, its a amazing country, I love the people, weather and way of life,have had so many adventures, and a few hairy moments to capture these birds, will tell more on following postings.
Looking forward to your images, have missed you and all my flickr friends, hope your all well and thank you for your visit and any comment are gratefully received.........Tomx.
When I visited Boston, Honk Fest was on, the festival of activist street bands. I had the opportunity to listen to (and photograph) the Forward! Marching Band, "a community-based, democratic, music-making collective" from Wisconsin - great fun!
One of the trains I was really looking forward to was G 157643 from Vejle to Vemb (and continuing as G 158009 to Rønland), which is operated by a DB Cargo MZ. Because a large part of this route is already equipped with the new ECTS safety system, and the MZ is not yet equipped for it, a locomotive equipped with it must be installed as standard for this train. The pre-hitch locomotive is therefore only used to operate the main locomotive and is not used for power. Another consequence is that this train runs a longer route through western Denmark to avoid the annoying shunting between the two locomotives. On October 7, 2025, we were in luck: the beautiful MX 26 of the Midtjyske Jernbaner was pre-hitched, and not, as previously, a Swedish shunting locomotive. While we were still enjoying coffee after a long drive, the level crossing lights started flickering, and we were just barely able to climb the ladders to photograph the train, which was 15 minutes early. My coffee cup is still in the shot, and I actually think this is a nice detail...
Eén van de treinen die hoog op mijn verlanglijstje stond was de G 157643 van Vejle naar Vemb (en verder als trein G 158009 naar Rønland) die met een DB Cargo Mz wordt gereden. Omdat een groot deel van dit traject al met het nieuwe beveiligingssysteem ECTS is uitgerust en de MZ hier nog niet voor is toegerust moet voor deze trein standaard een lok worden gezet die het wel heeft. De voorgespannen lok is dus enkel ter bediening van de treinlok en doet verder niet mee. Een ander gevolg is dat deze trein een langere route door West-Denemarken doorloopt om zo vervelend omrangeren tussen beide loks te voorkomen. Op 7 oktober 2025 hadden we geluk: De prachtige MX 26 van de Midtjyske Jernbaner werd voorgespannen en niet, zoals eerder, een Zweedse rangeerlokomotief. Terwijl we na een lange autorit nog aan de koffie zaten begonnen de overweglampen te knipperen en konden we nog maar net de ladders opklimmen om de 15 minuten te vroeg rijdende trein te fotograferen. Mijn koffiebeker staat nog in beeld en ik vind dit eigenlijk wel een mooi detail…

Let me unpack this scene. "Forward" is Wisconsin's state motto. It is also the name of this statue. It appears that “forward” is how past generations of Wisconsinites wanted to be remembered.
This is a replica of the aged "Forward" statue that originally stood in front of Wisconsin's state capitol. The original figure was created by artist, Ms. Jean Pond Miner (1865-1967), for the Columbian World Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. It was afterwards displayed inside Wisconsin's capitol building from 1893 to 1904. This female forward figure has stood outside since 1905.
It should be noted that on June 10, 1919 Wisconsin became one of the first states to vote in favor of ratifying the 19th Amendment, which gave American women the right to vote since 1920. In Britain, women universally received the right to vote in 1928.
At least that's what I imagine this little crocus is saying.
Apologies for being behind after a busy weekend, look forward to catching up now.
With 66027 sat in Meadowhall station , the 1Y17 0905 Leeds - Nottingham has just joined the main line from Wincobank Junction.
Weekend engineering work at Holmes Junction meant all traffic was diverted via the Barnsley line and rejoining the main line to the left of the picture.
66027 is working the 1000 6T61 Holmes Junction - Toton.

I spent the evening photographing this gorgeous girl in the freezing cold. A lot has happened this year that I never expected to happen. My life is going through a lot of changes but I'm learning to accept it all, be happy, and just keep moving forward. I'll be starting a new series soon that I'll talk about in one of my next few uploads. I hope everyone is doing well. ♥
Four years, seven months and ten days after the armistice ending the Human-Covenant War.
I need to finish this before continuing with Halo 5. Wow, do I have a backlog of titles to finish.
Forward is an 1893 bronze statue by American sculptor Jean Pond Miner Coburn (1866–1967) depicting an embodiment of Wisconsin's "Forward" motto. The 1996 replica was located at the Wisconsin State Capitol grounds at the top of State Street before it was vandalized in 2020. The statue often is misidentified with the Wisconsin statue on top of the Capitol dome.
Brought forward from May 29, 2012

Forest Fire Abstraction #2 - "WE ARE HOME!" We will be seeing a lot of scenes like this one in our forest this coming winter. I bring this photograph forward from my photostream to suit the circumstances. We have returned after our forced evacuation from our home at Keefer Lake due to one of the largest forest fires in Ontario's history ... 75km long and 8km. wide ... over 30,000 hectares ... the fire came within 4km. of our house but fortunately because of a change in the wind it never came any closer. We are allowed back into our home after 9 days of forced evacuation ... all of us in the area are still on alert and may have to evacuate again if the conditions change as the fire is not yet out and probably won't be completely secure for several weeks. There is a strong smell of smoke in the air but otherwise all is eerily the same.
There is nothing quite like having the police knock on your door at 1am and being told you have one hour to get out of your house and seeing the entire southern sky glowing red with strong winds blowing smoke and ash your way to give one perspective on what is important in life. In the short time we had to pack our vehicle we took some of our art, some family photographs, an external hard drive with all of our data - including photographs - a few changes of clothes and, of course, our dogs! I am so thankful that our house and our beloved Keefer Lake is untouched to this point and I can only hope it will remain so as the fire is brought under control. Cheers to the men and women risking everything to fight this very large and difficult forest fire even as I am writing this account of 10 days in the life of Keefer Lake.
I shall strive to catch up with all of your fine photography that I have missed this past while. I see Flickr hasn't cured the fuzziness and blur - please view in Lightbox to see the photo as it was meant to be seen.

D31 made for a glorious sight at Curran today with three clean Geeps all running long hood forward. This is Norfolk Southern at its finest.
The Spad S.A was an unusual scout/fighter of WW1 that flew for the first time on May 21, 1915. It featured a rather unconventional design with a 110 hp Le Rhone radial engine, propeller and all, mounted behind behind a forward gondola that formed the nose of the aircraft. The gondola featured a machine gun which was able to elevate and traverse. This arrangement, placing the gun on the front of the aircraft, avoided the need for arrester gear allowing machine guns to fire safely through the arc of a spinning propeller.
The design had significant engineering defects, from insufficient structural strength to de-stabilising the plane’s centre of gravity. It proceed very dangerous for the forward gunner, with various accidents (most fatal) occurring during take off and landing. It saw minimal service, and was disliked by many crews. 57 of the rejected design were exported to Russia towards the end of the war.
This has to be one of my favourite models I’ve ever made. Definitely a unorthodox design (Trust the French ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) I hope you guys enjoy – C&C appreciated.
In the rolling hills east of Aston, Idaho, a field is seen, plowed in an alternating linear pattern.
I certainly didn't expect to see this, it's owned by the same garage as the first Forward Control I spotted a few years back
A log lies in the way just ahead for me to not trip and fall over. It is a cluttered path that quickly loses clarity and goes who knows where.
The biggest obstacles are yet unseen. But oh how wondrous the hike, with colors to behold and textures to grasp.

Excerpt from the plaque:
Pileated Woodpecker
Pileated woodpeckers drill into dead trees searching for carpenter ants, which they extract from the wood with their barbed tongues. These birds hammer hard, sometimes pounding so deep that small trees break in two. To manage the stress, the strong, elastic beak is backed by dense, spongy bone. Curiously, the back of the tongue wraps around the skull. Some scientists think it may act as an additional shock absorber.
Giant Anteater
The long, nozzle-shaped snout of a giant anteater is a streamlined tool for raiding anthills and termite mounds.
The toothless jaws support a long, sticky tongue that can extend nearly two feet (61 cm) beyond the tip of the snout to pick up insects. By reaching forward with its head and tongue, the anteater can feed while standing back from a nest and avoid being heavily bitten or stung.
