Hard to believe we can still see a trio of Bessemer Units leading trains on the former Bessemer & Lake Erie RR in 2021.
My day started out on the B&P but quickly turned to thoughts of chasing the 867 north in the fresh snow after a couple birdies said the trio might be heading to XB to grab ore empties.
I picked up the chase in Butler as the crew was just starting to pull from Calvin Yard. Seeing the high green displayed at Oneida I thought the signal bridge shot at McCandless Rd. would look good.
A lot of people including myself always shoot the southbound here but I hardly ever see anyone shoot the northbound here so I gave myself plenty of time to walk in from the grade crossing to setup.
I didn't realize it until someone posted on FB that 867 turns 50 years old this coming July.
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
......... and it's a hard rain ... is gonna fall.

"This thing all things devours;
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats mountain down."

Trying to stay out of the Cycle lane took a bit of effort. With the passage barely wide enough to handle the pedestrians, the cyclists had to frequently stop and dodge people not paying attention.

This one is "Hard at Work". Capturing the deconstruction and construction of the rosebud pier. The pier that you can see in this image is only about half the length of the pier. the rest is siting by itself out in the ocean. I was lucky enough for the excavator driver to stop out in the water, hop out of the excavator and have a chat to the guys on the pier. gave me just enough time to get this image with the machine being nice and still. gives it a bit of difference than what you would usually get. tell me what you think. I quiet like it.

Just on the opposite side to Medicine Lake, so really beautiful mountains rise up. A great many of the Trees in the area had been damaged, or killed by fire a few years back.
And at the end of the day.... when you leave work, and all the cars are snow covered... you get in your car to start it and warm it up and clean the windshield off... and the seat is pushed back much farther than usual... and you look around and say.... Wait, this isn't MY car! And you know when something like that happens.... you never get away without being seen... by several of your co-workers. *sigh* And unfortunately, I have many stories like that. (Yeah, they keep me at that job for comic relief ... that's not even the worst thing I've done.) Yup.... THAT kind of day.....
With so many Juvenile European Starlings about, it's hard not to focus on just one. This one here stood out against the green leaves of the service berry bush, a favorite food among birds.

It's hard enough dying at age 40 after a long and painful illness, but imagine how that would have been in 1877.
The three Gilbert boys were aged 21, 12, and 19.
From Frederick's stone:
"Here locked in peace, our darling rest beneath
An early Victim to the rage of Death
A Fathers hope a Mothers tender care
Blighted by one rude blast is buried here."
I will moan once again about the loss of resolution when uploading to Flickr. A lot of detail has been lost from these stones.
“Let him keep careful watch over his thoughts. Let him observe their intensity, their periods of decline and follow them as they rise and fall. Let him note well the complexity of his thoughts, their periodicity, the demons which cause them, with the order of their succession and the nature of their associations.”
-Evagrius, The Praktikos, chap. 50, in The Praktikos and Chapters on Prayer, trans. J. Bamberger (Kalamazoo, MI: Cistercian Publications, 1981), 29-30
He says, whenever you are plagued by distractions, “try to look over their shoulders, as it were, searching for something else—and that something is God, enclosed in the cloud of unknowing.”
