Glade Creek Grist Mill, a fully functional replica of the original Cooper’s Mill, which once stood on the grounds.
PURE PLAY, inspired by the setting sun. There is hardly any practical functionality in this behaviour of wild geese. The end of the first March day this year.
Took my old E-M1 gen.1 with me, with stills on my mind. The camera has poor video, but the scene was irresistible.
Wild geese make a distinct sound and have a demeanour which is not always the same. I often hear them at night, when they fly in small groups low above my flat 25 m high. Then it's more like navigating, a kind of sound radar. Or encouraging each other. Yesterday evening (5 March, not this recording) I was late coming back from the river shore, and the geese had been conspicuously calm for an hour... when I was at the middle of that big field populated by them, it was almost completely dark already. Camera already packed in my bag. Then something like exploded. The whole flock of around thousand or more wild geese put up a play for me. They suddenly burst into flight from the field on my right hand side and flew right over my head to the other half of the field where they all majestically landed. It was a sound of the thunder, all those huge wings flapping above me and the geese honking and calling. Like ƒƒƒ tutti of a large symphony orchestra. There were many many more birds than could fit in my lens even if I had the camera ready and small µ4/3 sensor somehow probing the dark. –Maybe I should take a sound recorder with me the next time... :)))
The occurrence on March 5th (not the modest one filmed here) brings me to my photographic Murphy's law: My greatest pics and videos are the ones I did not take. That's a rule that's haunting me for years and decades; my whole life actually. Like that one in the caption, just four days after this recorded clip. Please read the paragraph above, it does not pertain to the video clip above. Somehow, the birds always wait just enough —5 or 15 minutes after the sunset— for the light to fade out and then they appear in majestic formations and formidable numbers, to perform their low passes, big turns, amplified rhythmic calls, terrific landings and what not. Exactly that fraction too late when I can NOT film them any more with my modest µ4/3 gear, but can still observe the spectacle. No, they don't do it to spite me; it's just to keep their worthiest artistry beyond our proud-spirited set of captured things. It's rewarding enough to witness them. I am humbled and remain with my reoccurring phenomenon. Birds appearing just before sunrise or just after sunset with the regularity of Newton's physical laws.
Similar with the people :)
P. S. Contemplating the purchase of the G9 Mark II ever since... Now you know it's not the GAS (gear acquisition syndrome), but the GIS (gees inspired syndrome).

This reflex camera has something in common with me: it's from 1954! It was built by KW Niedersedlitz in Dresden, its lens is the legendary eagle eye, the Tessar by Carl Zeiss Jena, 50mm F 2.8. Everything is fully functional.

Visually reminiscent of the Age of Rail, which had a positive impact on the economy of Hillsboro, the Katy Depot stands today in close proximity to the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad lines as well as the Hill County Courthouse (National Register, 6/21/71), the focal point of the downtown commercial district. Hillsboro was established in 1853 to serve as the governmental seat and trade center for a basically agrarian county, cotton the primary crop. The completion of the MKT Railroad through Hillsboro in 1881 increased the commercial activity of the city and broadened its economic base. With locally raised funds, the citizens of Hillsboro purchased the right of way and property needed for a depot. Functional requirements dictated the size and massing of the structure which reflects architectural and decorative styles popular at the turn of the century, reminiscent of the Prairie style of architecture.
The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, commonly known as the Katy, was the first rail line to reach Hillsboro. Passenger service on the line, which connected Fort Worth and Temple, began on April 26, 1881, with four daily trains and a sleeper through to Chicago. The Katy Railroad brought a surge of economic activity to this agricultural region, becoming a major means of exporting cotton and livestock. As the economic base broadened, so did the population, which facilitated both residential and commercial expansion. Building materials were brought in by train and used to construct then contemporary structures. With the completion of the railroad several Katy buildings were constructed including: a frame station consisting of a waiting room, office, and a freight room; a cotton platform; and a section house. In 1894, Katy built division shops and a roundhouse in Hillsboro. The original station was converted to a freight house in 1902 and the present depot (seen in the photograph above) was erected on the land purchased by the city of Hillsboro. Throughout its operating years, the depot served as an integral part of the Hillsboro community. Among those visiting Hillsboro via the Katy were railroad tycoon Jay Gould, and Presidents Woodrow Wilson, William H. Taft, Calvin Coolidge, and Harry Truman. And, the depot served as the departure and arrival point for World War I and II soldiers serving their country.
On December 19, 1979, the Katy Depot (aka the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Company Railroad Depot) was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its architecture, history, and being the location of historic events as described above. All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration which can be viewed here:

A picture of a watch without anything else is at worst an image of someone else’s art and at best can be a showcase for the photographer’s expertise at exposure and composition. This image has more meaning to me than you may grasp at first glance so I’ll complete the story here. SPOILER ALERT: It’s a bit long so if you’d like to skip it ... that’s Okay. Just remember to enjoy Today.
The title may attract the attention of a few people already familiar with the acronym. More later ... I purchased the timepiece pictured some 50 or more years ago and it has always been a disappointment ... it still looks almost pristine! It’s promise was that it was self-winding, that is by some engineering magic once it was wound and put on my wrist it somehow was supposed to stay wound enough to keep “good time”. Well, here’s the basic truth; if I wind it up and let it lay on the shelf it will keep perfect time until it runs down in a couple of days. If put it on my wrist it will randomly stop for 5 or 10 minutes at a time from the first hour on ... making it functionally useless!
In the mid-80s after a life changing event I learned that I can only live One Day at a Time (ODaaT). I realized this independent worthless timepiece is in fact a constant reminder that I only have today ... yesterday is history and tomorrow is not yet in play.
It has no other numbers than today’s calendar number and day ... today ... if I keep it wound. My every attempt to use it for my purposes by wearing it ... my actions ... screws up it’s basic time keeping function so if I let go and let it do it’s thing on the shelf all works just fine. I’m some 16 years into retirement and I removed my “working” watch the day I retired ... I know where time is being kept and I can freely live TODAY. If you got this far Happy Macro Monday ... and enjoy today. HMM Everyone.
The supporting wall at Crewe station separating platforms 11 and 12 has a beauty all of its own. Weather worn and stained with the soot of previous generations of railway activity it has tones of cream brown and bronze that are inspired in its construction. The arches are masterpieces of symmetry.
The soft curves of the northbound Pendelino compliment the design features of the wall.
Thanks to David Hayes for the inspiration.

I just realized that my Steam Sunday post from earlier in the week never uploaded so here it is belatedly...just a wider take on this scene from New England's own little steam Mecca.
For five weeks before Christmas the Valley Railroad (dba Essex Steam Train and Riverboat) runs an astonishing amount of holiday trains branded as the North Pole Express. Most are steam powered and this requires all three of their steam locomotives to be under steam at once. Excepting the Strasburg Railroad I don't believe there is anywhere else in the United States where it is even possible for three standard gauge locomotives to be under steam at once. But here, every weekend, it is a regular occurrence as the railroad runs 13 sold out departures between 2 and 8 PM every Sat and Sun (only 9 on Tue-Fri) using four consists one of which is led by one of the road's center cab GEs.
Through some fortunate twist of fate I only live a bit over an hour away from this magical place so every year I make a trip or two down just to soak it all up.
The 2:30 PM departure to the North Pole has just departed the Essex depot and is crossing Main St. / Route 154 near MP 4.1 on the old New Haven Valley Line. In charge and putting on a nice show is Valley Railroad #3025, a China Railways SY class 2-8-2 that was built in 1989 by the Tangshan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Works for Pennsylvania's Knox & Kane Railroad where it spent its life until that railroad's demise following the collapse of that lines signature attraction, the Kinzua Viaduct. It was purchased by the VRR in 2008 and was rebuilt as a functional replica of a New Haven J-1 'Mikado' locomotive like the type that once plied this line in local service and re-numbered 3025, one number above the last of the original class on the NYNH&H.

The origins of the functional looking RLs go back to a fleeting brain fart by Morrison Knudsen Australia in 1994, that then took another ten years to materialise into something quite different under the auspices of National Railway Equipment Company (NREC).

The Space Shuttle Enterprise (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-101) was the first Space Shuttle orbiter. It was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform test flights in the atmosphere. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield, and was therefore not capable of spaceflight. On September 17, 1976 the first full scale prototype was completed.
