I have a bunch of old negatives that I never got around to printing in the darkroom. With the move and loss of my darkroom, I'm scanning now and processing in Adobe LR and CS6. Holga 120N. I don't know the film (tho' I suppose I could look for indications on the negative), and I couldn't tell you what I developed this in. D76 or R09 One shot probably...

Near Satara rest camp, the White- headed vulture patrols the sky looking for its next meal.
Wikipedia: White-headed vulture populations have been declining since the early 1940s; it was classified as Vulnerable in the 2007 IUCN Red List. Recent indications that the species is rarer than previously thought have led to a status upgrade to Critically Endangered in 2015.[1]
This small warbler is easily identified by its onomatopoeic "chiff chaff" song, after which it was named.
Chiffchaffs breed widely in Britain & Ireland, apart from on the highest ground. In recent years, this species has been expanding its breeding range north into Scotland, with BTO research suggesting it is benefitting from climatic warming in that part of the UK. Breeding Chiffchaff numbers have also risen in the UK in recent decades, especially in Scotland, although there is some indication that this trend is now levelling off. In autumn, many breeding Chiffchaffs depart for southern Europe and North Africa, but increasing numbers are staying for the winter months. They are among the earliest singers in the breeding season, being heard from February onwards.
Chiffchaffs are yellow-olive coloured warblers, that closely resemble a dull Willow Warbler. Luckily, the songs of the two species are very different. Male and female Chiffchaffs look alike. The species favours deciduous woodland and scrub, but can also be found in reedbeds, parks and gardens. It is insectivorous, and can sometimes be spotted catching prey on the wing.
Utah Transit Authority installed GCI signals for train operators in quiet zones. The signal flashes on and off as the gates are dropping or rising, and display a solid lunar indication when they have dropped and the crossing is secure.
Union Pacific did not install them, but UTA's GCIs are activated in locations where UP's Provo, Lynndyl, and Salt Lake subdivisions parallel the UTA's commuter rail track. Here a Grand Junction to Salt Lake City OCS crosses 7th West in Provo, Utah on August 28, 2025.
At approximately 0749 on September 15, 2020, UP Train MCXNP 14 ran a stop indication and derailed on a crossover switch at State Line Jct. on the KCT High Line while crossing over from 75 to 74 Track. The switches were out of correspondence, being thrown while the stop signal violation took place. At over 20 MPH, both engines and the head 5 cars derailed, listing but upright.
The derailment thankfully stayed on the ballasted deck bridge without falling to the ground below, but presented a unique challenge with where the equipment came to rest, necessitating the use of several contractors to remove the locomotives and railcars.
Wilkerson Crane Rental, Inc., and Cranemasters did most of the lifting, while Mainline Services LLC., under the direction of BNSF engineering forces, as they have the MOW contract on the KCT; replaced the track. Watco/KCTL dropped new ballast with a BNSF rock train to replace what was removed from the bridge deck during cleanup.
A myriad of other contractors also assisted in moving the needed materials and equipment into the site. The line returned to service at 0450 on the 17th without the crossover, which will be restored at a later date. It was nothing short of a fascinating procedure to watch as the equipment was recovered.
Here cranes from two different contractors prepare to attack the derailed lead unit. Cranmasters from the bridge with a crawler, and Wilkerson from the ground with a massive rubber tired crane.

Great Horned Owls usually give a clear indication of their impending takeoff. Much less subtle than other birds, they usually bunch up and get ready to spring into the air. This pretty lady was surveying the landscape from atop a tree and made ready to takeoff. We were holding our score cards, prepared to give her a 10 for her normally graceful transition into the air. However, as she took off, her talon caught, and the branch pulled her back like a spring. This is her sly attempt at making it look like this was her intent all along. I do have to give her credit; those wings are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen them so I’m still going to give her a 10 and humor her into thinking I knew it was on purpose.

A break in the weather can offer up some lovely colour for the Photographer.
After watching the overcast sky most of the day, I noticed some mud and high cloud starting to feather out towards sunset. I took this as an indication of a possible burst of colour just after sunset.....

Osprey of the Jersey Shore | 2019
The 2018 Osprey Project in New Jersey:
www.conservewildlifenj.org/downloads/cwnj_853.pdf
Ospreys continue to thrive in New Jersey. Nest surveys conducted by volunteers during the peak of the nestling period (late June-early July) resulted in documenting the outcome of 87% of 589 surveyed nests. We credit the successful work by our dedicated volunteers and faithful “Osprey Watchers” to report on nests all along the coast and major rivers. The goal of this project is to monitor and manage the state population of breeding ospreys to ensure they remain stable in New Jersey. We hope that the work conducted as a part of this project will help protect the species while closely monitoring for any indication of emerging threats.
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), sometimes known as the Sea Hawk, Fish Eagle or Fish Hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. It is a large Raptor, reaching more than 24 inches in length and a 71 inches wingspan. It is brown on the upper parts and predominantly greyish on the head and under parts, with a black eye patch and wings. In 1994, the osprey was declared the provincial bird of Nova Scotia, Canada.

The sky's dark blues turn to yellows, followed by hues of red beneath, perfectly replicating the colours of the clear to stop indications at Bartlett, while rain from the days prior reflects the entirety of the classic cantilever and the surroundings it guards. Shining brightly, as they have for decades, these searchlights would go dark in just over 24 hours - the cantilever hastily cut up into two pieces, the searchlights removed and cast aside, their faces dented and warped from the machines. The intermediates on the North Toronto Sub. at Davenport, Howland, Mt. Pleasant and Leaside would meet the same fate by the end of the week. I've always liked Bartlett for what feels like a classic Toronto railway scene, not just for the aging cantilever, but for the grit and character that the brick buildings and graffiti bring. No replacements will be installed here either, CPKC opting for a single intermediate between Leaside and Osler, replacing all of the ones mentioned above. A curious choice when westbounds would routinely wait for lights at Osler here to avoid blocking crossings, they'll now theoretically have to do this over 2 miles further east, encroaching on the Leaside crossovers and likely adding to congestion with less space for trains trying to get out of Toronto Yard.

By all indications, train 11N was long past our location, except, this being Norfolk Southern, it wasn't. Central of Georgia Heritage Unit 8101 is on the point, and the chase was on.

The sun is setting in the western sky as a classic Santa Fe H5 searchlight looks on with a clear indication near Appleton, Illinois.
The legend of Saint Sigfrid of Sweden relates how Sigfrid, a missionary from England, chose Växjö as the site to build a cathedral. He was said to also have been buried in the cathedral that he founded. While the legend is largely unreliable as a historical source, it is probable that a wooden church was built on the same site as the current cathedral in the 11th century, during the Christianization of Scandinavia. Coins from the 11th century have been found during excavations within the church, and a preserved Christian runestone from the same century (Rundata number Sm 10), today located next to the choir wall, may be further indication of the early presence of a wooden church on the site.

A beautiful October sunrise over the Oconaluftee Valley in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
This is one of the best views for sunrises in the area, so when the forecast showed strong indications of good color at sunrise, I made sure to be at this spot first thing, and I'm so glad I did.
The colors in the Smokies were beautiful this year - early - but beautiful, and same went for the entire Southern Appalachian range that I had the pleasure of exploring.
I will be posting more images in the near future from my various trips, so please stay tuned.
Thank you for looking, and wishing everyone a great week ahead!

With a clear to slow indication, CPKC H25; a yard transfer from Agincourt Yard to Lambton Yard, proceeds west at the iconic Bartlett Ave intermediates. This train had made an unscheduled stop about a mile to our east after hitting a "soccer ball sized rock" left on the tracks. The crew reported the incident to RTC whom requested they stop and inspect their locomotives before continuing. The crew found no damage, and continued their short journey. This would be my last time photographing any searchlights along the North Toronto Subdivision, as by the following week everything would be cut over. One set of intermediate "vaders" replaced 2 sets of intermediate searchlights, and two sets of controlled locations which by this point were just glorified intermediates as the crossovers and diamond that used to be along this stretch of mainline had both been removed years prior. This includes the set of signals seen off in the distance displaying a "clear to stop".

My mission for the day was to search for indications of emerging snowdrops. I remembered where they grew last year, but wanted to make a little walking adventure out of it.
I had expected to find new shoots. So I was pleasantly surprised to find two little flowers emerging from the carpet of fallen leaves. There was quite a lot of new shoots emerging too. I think we're in for a snowdrop treat this year.
Even though I was completely soaked through by the end of my walk, seeing the two flowers was worth it.
All indications indication were that nothing special would happen this night while we were driving up to Milford Sound thru neck-breaking Fiordland National Park. It was another notorious rainy day in Fiordland. Everything grey and misty but yet a mystical scenery worth the many stops. Due to that we were running late for the sunset at Milfod Sound as I was thinking that nothing special would happen anyway. Arriving last minute when the light was unfolding to its full magic I still managed to get some shots. Yay! Had to jump into the water at an air temperature of around 7°C without my gumboots though as I left them in the car in the hurry.
Anyway, it was all worth the hassle and the colors where amazing that I even had to tone them down in PP.
While out exploring new points of access for the Prairie River I found this newly-mown trail into a section of public hunting land. Glad they missed this lovely bracken which seems to point me into the forest.

I've seen a horsefly. I've seen a housefly, but I ain't never seen an AC4400CW fly until tonight. It's not far off the bridge, but suspended between the Cranemasters and Wilkerson booms, the engine is suspended over 30 feet above the ground in this photo.

A couple of Saturdays ago our son Whatsappd me to ask if I fancied a flying visit to the Lake District with him the following day. Having done a deal with Liz re dog-walking duties (though she is Liz's dog really!), I duly drove down to Newcastle, joined up with Stephen and headed over to the Eastern Lakes. I couldn't really believe that it had been over 2 years since I last did any walking there.
Loadpot Hill wasn't actually our destination, Stephen had planned to head further south along the High Street 'ridge', but we couldn't take the intended route since the ford across Cawdale Beck right at the outset was too deep for walking boots (or wellies for that matter!) and the Beck itself too wide to jump.
Thus we headed up Cawdale to emerge onto High Street (the course of the old Roman road between forts at Ambleside (Galava) and Broughham nr. Penrith (Brocavum) at Loadpot Hill. This is the view to the northern fells from the summit (671m/2201ft). It was also pretty much our high-point since the weather closed in and snowed on us! The ripples on the water around the trig point give an indication of how blowy it was up there!
In Japan, Emily Dickinson's (1830-1886) poetry is higly regarded. A clear indication is the large grant of money that the chemical giant, the Kaneka Corporartion (Osaka) furnished the Emily Dickinson Museum (Amherst, Mass.) in 2005 for its restoration projects. Her poetry is often compared to Japanese traditional haiku, although, of course, it is quite different. Regardless, this photo brings to mind her 'In the Garden':
A bird came down the walk:
He did not know I saw;
He bit an angle-worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw.
And then he drank a dew
From a convenient grass,
And then hopped sidewise to the wall
To let a beetle pass.
He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all abroad,
They looked like frightened beads, I thought;
He stirred his velvet head
Like one in danger; cautious,
I offered him a crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home
Than oars divide the ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or butterflies, off banks of noon,
Leap, splashless, as they swim.
There's more of a general connection between Dickinson and Japan, though. The anonymous Master to whom she wrote three highly personal letters is thought to be William Smith Clark (1826-1886), a Massachusetts educationalist who made a great impression on the Japanese during his relatively brief stay at Sapporo.
He was the founder of what is today Hokkaido University, then called the Agricultural College of Sapporo. A great statue of him stand atop Hitsujigaoka observation hill. His right arm is stretched out as if he is saying "Boys, be ambitious". That motto is fondly remembered in Sapporo even today, and I am said - though I can't check it - that it in Japanese is inscribed on educational buildings in Sapporo.
Clark came here hard on the heels of Horace Capron (1804-1885), former commissioner of Agriculture under US presidents Johnson and Ulysses S. Grant. Capron had been hired by the Kaitakushi - the development commission for Hokkaido - to modernize that island to stem the expansion of the Russians from Vladivostok. (He actually needed the high remuneration that almost caused scandal to care for his blind son.)
The garden in the photo is that of the Akarenga - The Red Brick Building - that served as the seat of the Kaitakushi. It was planned by Capron on the model of the Massachusetts Sate House. Unusually for Japan made of red brick, two villages nearbij - Toyohira and Shiroishi - were conscripted into making those bricks. In 1873 it was one of the largest buildings of Japan. It burnt down in 1879 but was restored again in 1886. Today it sits as somthing of a smallish anomaly in this pretty park in the shadow of the skyscrapers around and the enormous new central railroad station of Sapporo.

It there is an indication or measure of a city's culture or intellect then chess might be one of those measures. Dotted all along the promenade are these giant chess boards, complete with giant pieces. Clearly, chess is a popular game in Baku and I dare say throughout Azerbaijan as well as there were matches being played morning, noon and night.
I'd go as far to say that it's not something you would come across in any UK city, mainly because all the pieces would get nicked or smashed in the first 24 hours... the Manchester Mobikes thefts and vandalism a case in point!
It was only when I got home did I discover the popularity of chess in Azerbaijan and it's most famous son - Garry Kimovich Kasparov, World champion 1985-1993 (undisputed) and 1993-2000 (classical)
