Cultural heritage of the Netherlands.
There was a small band of clouds blocking the sun for some hours. I waited till the sun finally came beneath it and took my shots. Two minutes later there was lightning and hail all over the place. So intense that taking more pictures was out of the question, running for shelter was the reasonable thing to do.
I was still soaked of course but also pleased with the results of that little moment of good light.

Though looking rather old, this water level regulator is still in use. It is part of the water purification system established around 1882 in order to produce drinking water for Basel, Switzerland.
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!

CP 237 with a classic looking nose rolls through downtown Hamilton, Ontario. Above the train you can see the nose of a GO Transit engine parked in the Hamilton GO Centre. 5/28/2023
I don't know why I have this desire to always go down to the beach and capture reflections. It's a beautiful obsession, and keeps me relatively sane in these crazy days. Why do I Always Want You is by The Saw Doctors
This evocative black-and-white image captures the raw energy and heritage of a traditional camel race in the UAE. Riders, poised with purpose, guide their camels along the dirt track under the desert sun. Camel racing is more than a sport in Arabia — it’s a cultural institution that reflects centuries of Bedouin tradition, endurance, and deep-rooted pride. These races once symbolized tribal prestige and are now celebrated in modern arenas with robotic jockeys and global spectatorship. Your photo beautifully preserves this transition between past and present, paying tribute to the region’s enduring connection with its desert-born legacy.

Arguably the most photographed unit in Duluth over the past couple of days is Soo 4402. This Soo Line gem has been a welcome sight along Duluth's waterfront.

Heritage Park in Kirkland, Washington. Urban park near downtown. End of October. This lovely lonely flower with its curtain of green looked like it was bowing its head as for last performance in garden saying farewell to Autumn.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Nærøyfjord is one of the narrowest arms of Sognefjord, Norway's deepest and longest fjord. At just 17 kilometers long and 250 meters wide at its narrowest point, Nærøyfjord is a true natural wonder and one of the most beautiful places in the country. The view becomes most spectacular from below, as you travel by cruise ship, as you plunge into the cliffs.
Classé au patrimoine mondial de l’humanité par l’Unesco, le Nærøyfjord est l’un des bras les plus étroits du Sognefjord, le fjord le plus profond et le plus long de la Norvège. Avec seulement 17 kilomètres de long et 250 mètres de large à l’endroit le plus étroit, le Nærøyfjord est une véritable curiosité naturelle et l’un des endroits les plus beaux du pays. C’est d’en bas, lors du passage en bateau de croisière, que le site devient le plus spectaculaire, alors que l’on s’engouffre au milieu des falaises.

NS Westbound Roadrailer 255 exits a severe thunderstorm at Arnold, just East of Jacksonville, Illinois, with the fresh Virginian Heritage pulling 120 trailers. The train is still inching along the Springfield-Hannibal District at a snail's pace under a Summer storm caused speed restriction that produced 60-70 MPH winds.
Another view of the wintery scene at Vancouver's Heritage Harbour looking towards the downtown West End skyline, taken during our first light round of snow. (FYI - the orange/red block you see in the distance (near center of the image) is actually an enormous barge that broke loose in high windstorms a couple of months ago and drifted further into Burrard Inlet getting frighteningly close to the bridge before finally running aground in English Bay where it's been stuck ever since, waiting on the next king tide when they hope to get it back out to sea.)
After dealing with a career filled with deadlines and pressures I try to avoid those situations now. When I participate in art shows I often get asked to come out and photograph people's barns but I rarely do. But a family of siblings asked me to photograph this deteriorating heritage of their great-grandfather who built this barn in the late 1800s and I found it hard to turn them down.
One week after photographing CP 236 with CP 7018 leading we were lucky to have 7018 leading again but this time on the point of CP 237.
Here it is pictured heading through rural Waterdown on its return trip to Toronto.

The beautiful old country church at Heritage Canyon on the outskirts of Fulton,IL. Heritage Canyon,a park containing a number of historical buildings from the communities Dutch roots,is home to various events including Fulton's annual Dutch Days celebration. I captured this during probably the ugliest time of year for photographing it-one can imagine the beauty of this setting in spring,fall,and even a fresh blanket of winter snow....

Have a great sliders sunday all!
The twin headstocks and nearby disused mineral railway track are all that remains of an extensive coal mining enterprise carried on by Barber, Walker & Company, who first leased and then bought much of the parish of Brinsley from the Duke of Newcastle. They are a memento of both Brinsley’s mining heritage, and the literary heritage of DH Lawrence, whose father worked at the colliery. Many of Lawrence’s stories are based on this area and the people who lived and worked here.
