We went to this popular hangout spot as I was in the mood of shooting long exposure shots with the bridge in the frame.
To our surprise, the park now had fences on the edge probably to discourage people from jumping into the sea.
Alfred Krupp, byname Der Kanonenkönig (The Cannon King) was a German industrialist noted for his development and worldwide sale of cast-steel cannon and other armaments. Under his direction the Krupp Works began the manufacture of ordnance. His father, Friedrich Krupp, who had founded the dynasty’s firm in 1811, died in 1826, leaving to his son the secret of making high-quality cast steel, together with a small workshop in which production had come almost to a standstill. Taking full charge of the firm at the age of 14, Alfred soon extended production to include the manufacture of steel rolls. He designed and developed new machines, invented the spoon roll for making spoons and forks, and manufactured rolling mills for use in government mints. He won new customers, extended his firm’s purchases of raw materials, and secured funds to finance the expansion of his works. At the first world exhibition, the Great Exhibition, in London in 1851, he exhibited the largest steel ingot ever cast up to that time...

NHN ID-2 prepares to depart the Ossipee Aggregates pit after hauling the FRA Geo train north as DI-1.
CSXT SD70MAC 4715 sits with the two passenger cars of Track Geometry train W003 after running up to Grand Rapids from Chicago. The train will spend the night here on the dispatch track, then work around GR tomorrow.

I still can't believe I've shot two different trains here in the span of five days! So here's another frame from a great Sunday that was worth sacrificing some sleep for.
This a rare MBTA/Keolis geometry train crossing Depot Street at MP BK36.3 on what is now known as the Milford Industrial Track. Basically a continuoution of the modern day Franklin Line, this spot is six miles beyond the end of regular commuter train operations at Franklin Forge Park station. As an MBTA owned and maintained route, once a year this train travels to end of track in the remains of Milford Yard just shy of Main Street to take measurements of the track structure per the T contract. The train consisted of MBTA cab car 1533, three blind coaches and AMTK 10002, the Corridor Clipper geometry car made from a modified Amfleet I. Providing the motive power was MassDOT GP40MC 1136 in its one of a kind blue scheme.
Conrail and then CSXT freights came to town three times a week until the last major customer closed in 2018. Since then virtually no trains (excepting these annual test trains and a few rare detours last summer) have traveled beyond the last two customers in Bellingham located not far past Forge Park.
At left is the Barney Fuel company building, and a still extant spur on the back side of the old building led to a coal shed that received an occasional carload from Conrail into the 1980s for local homeowners that still burned coal for home heating.
To learn more about this former New Haven line and three other rail routes that once radiated from this town check out the extensive detailed caption with this image of one of the detour trains that ran last summer:
Having swapped ends at end of track in the small yard just behind them they are on the pull no headed back railroad east to test on the return to Boston.

Although Mandelbrot invented the word fractal, some objects featured in The Fractal Geometry of Nature had been previously described by other mathematicians (the Mandelbrot set being a notable exception). However, they had been regarded as isolated curiosities with unnatural and non-intuitive properties. Mandelbrot brought these objects together for the first time and turned them around into essential tools for the long-stalled effort of extending the scope of science to non-smooth parts of the real world. He highlighted their common properties, such as self-similarity (linear, non-linear, or statistical), scale invariance and (usually) non-integer Hausdorff dimension.
He also emphasized the use of fractals as realistic and useful models of many phenomena in the real world that can be viewed as rough. Natural fractals include the shapes of mountains, coastlines and river basins; the structure of plants, blood vessels and lungs; the clustering of galaxies; Brownian motion. Man-made fractals include stock market prices but also music, painting and architecture. Far from being unnatural, Mandelbrot held the view that fractals were, in many ways, more intuitive and natural than the artificially smooth objects of traditional Euclidean geometry.
The word "fractal" has two related meanings. In colloquial usage, it denotes a shape that is recursively constructed or self-similar, that is, a shape that appears similar at all scales of magnification and is therefore often referred to as "infinitely complex." In mathematics a fractal is a geometric object that satisfies a specific technical condition, namely having a Hausdorff dimension greater than its topological dimension. The term fractal was coined in 1975 by Benoît Mandelbrot, from the Latin fractus, meaning "broken" or "fractured."
...it's mysterious how beautifully da universe is designed. Music and art are in and out of every part of it and us. No wonder (yes! wonder!) we are creative beings.
