if I only had a tripod and an open window. I had to take this through those dirty tinted windows common to office buildings.

43153 is the rear power car of the 10.50 Penzance - Bristol TM as it enters the first span, or lenticular truss to give it its correct name, of the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash. If you look closely you will see the budding Tom Daleys on the landward pier beneath the bridge. I was wandering around the waterside for about half an hour as three HSTs were scheduled between 12.35 and 13.00 and I noticed some young teenagers diving in to the river. You can see one mid dive. Some of the others were doing somersault dives as well and so I thought as soon as I get the train out of the way I'll try and capture some close ups of their exploits. Immediately after I attached the telephoto and relocated to the jetty they decided that they would relocate there too. Ten minutes later with another two trains passing I had a second try at recording this youthful fun only for them to then pack up and disappear. Not meant to be but the somersault digitally frozen mid dive would have been a classic.

In a future shaped by the harsh realities of the climate crisis, deserts have expanded across vast areas of the world. The scarcity of water and relentless drought have rendered the land barren, while devastating wildfires have eradicated vegetation and life. In this new world, where rain has become a rare luxury, new deserts have emerged in what were once fertile regions. Humanity had forgotten that there were once peoples who lived and thrived in the desert—the nomads of the Sahara.
By a remarkable stroke of luck, a large, forgotten library was discovered in the region formerly known as Timbuktu. This discovery became a revelation, a beacon of hope in an otherwise bleak time. The library contained invaluable manuscripts and wisdom from the past, which could unveil the secrets behind the nomads' ability to survive in harsh desert conditions. In the many caves and underground grottos around Timbuktu, ancient documents were unearthed, bringing new knowledge to light.
This photo series explores the rediscovery of this forgotten wisdom, providing a glimpse into how our ancestors navigated life's challenges in the desert. Through these images, ancient truths are brought to life once more, inspiring us to learn from the nomads of the past, as we seek new paths forward in a world grappling with climate change.
In the sands of time, where dunes now rise,
A future unfolds under sunburned skies.
Forgotten whispers of a people long gone,
Nomads who thrived in the desert's dawn.
From Timbuktu's hidden troves they emerge,
Ancient tomes with knowledge to purge.
Beneath the earth, in caves so deep,
The secrets of survival, awake from sleep.
The world once forgot these sun-scorched lands,
But hope rekindles with ink-stained hands.
From parchments brittle, wisdom flows,
As past and present in the desert grows.
Haikus:
Lost in shifting sands,
Ancient voices rise again,
Nomads’ truths untold.
Dust of ages past,
Timbuktu’s wisdom revealed,
Hope in arid lands.
The Himba are indigenous peoples of about 20,000 to 50,000 people living in northern Namibia, in the Kunene region (formerly Kaokoland) and on the other side of the Kunene River in Angola. There are also few groups left of the Ovatwa, which also belong to the Himba people, but are hunters and gatherers. Himba are mostly a semi-nomadic, pastoral people, closely related to the Herero, and speak Otjihimba, that is similar to the Herero language.
The Himba wear little clothing, but the women are famous for covering themselves with otjize, a mixture of butter fat and ochre, possibly to protect themselves from the sun. The mixture gives their skins a reddish tinge. This symbolizes earth's rich red color and the blood that symbolizes life, and is consistent with the Himba ideal of beauty.

Are we becoming a "takeway" society?
Fast producing / fast consuming, with no time to appreciate life and the environment surrounding us...
It's been 18 years since the CN take over of the WC and this end of the Minneapolis Sub has gotten progressively quieter as time goes on. The coal trains and coke trains have gone away, the canning plant here no longer ships finished product by boxcar, and the nearby side track in Somerset no longer serves as a source of pulpwood loads. Contrary to how things have gone CN is now investing in the construction of a vehicle transload facility here just west of town. Just a couple weeks after the corn was harvested off this field construction is beginning on the Autoport. The projection is for this lot to unload 40 carloads of GM vehicles each day and 80 trucks will leave leave here onto nearby Highway 64. It remains to be seen if the added traffic will be handled by the local out of Chippewa Falls or L516/L517 on its way to-from Minneapolis. November 23, 2019.
A woman and her son are out for a walk at the Hinsdale Metra Station. She is pointing out that trains use the rails. Don't worry about her being at the edge of the rails. There is a long lull between trains.

Looking nothing like its former self as Tri-Towne Plaza is the future Shops at Renaissance Square in Marlton NJ.
'Arklow Future' is seen on her final approach to the Cargills wharf at Trafford Park. She has brought a cargo of grain from Ipswich; these shipments from East Anglia to Manchester have become more common recently, perhaps the combined effects of Brexit and the lorry driver shortage.
Just visible in the background is the coaster 'Rurik' loading scrap metal at Irwell Park.
The ship turned up a bit later than I had hoped, but the intended sunset shot has turned out to be a quite atmospheric dusk view.
