Canandaigua's boathouses don't feel like they should be in Upstate NY. I felt like I was wandering Halifax or some fishing town on the Atlantic as I took my photos.
Giant's Causeway, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, UK
The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40, 000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. It is located in County Antrim on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, and a National Nature Reserve. In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, the Giant's Causeway was named as the fourth greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven or eight sides. The tallest are about 12 meters (39 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 meters (92 ft) thick in places. The Giant's Causeway is today owned and managend by the National Trust and it is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland.
I loved this place....took so many photos of it. This is an amazing area ...

A pair of Conrail SD60Is and a C39-8 roll an eastbound van train along the Chicago Line on the final winter of Conrail's existence in 1999.
In the background is a Union Pacific C40-8 leading another eastbound, which would follow the hotshot intermodal once it cleared the interlocking.
This now Norfolk Southern trackage.
CP 8823 and BNSF 9305 pass under the signal bridge below the stately Dayton's Bluff. After a week of cloudy weather, it was nice to grab anything moving around and get some bright colors. Hard to know if this train is CPKC or BNSF, but I was just happy to see anything really, especially with good timing and a clear Warner Road.

This Roe deer buck- having a spear-like antler -is a true killer, could be potentially dangerous to other bucks during the rutting season. Lacking of both brow tine and rear tine, he can not interlock the antler with other bucks, which have normal 3 point antlers, rather he could stab them. Usually, bucks like this are unwanted in the population, therefore.

Connecticut DOT GP40-2H #6698 leads northbound CTrail train #6454, arriving for a layover at HART Interlocking in Hartford, CT on January 20, 2019.
It's a beautiful morning as a northbound BNSF Argentine Yard to KCS Knoche Yard transfer makes it's way past the brick warehouses at Old Union Depot Interlocking in Kansas City Missouri's West Bottoms. May 3, 2016
An added bonus on this particular day are the two locomotives leading this morning's train- a nice matched set of former Santa Fe GP39-2's in their original paint, twenty years after the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe merged.
Leading today is the 2777, ex ATSF 3408, built as ATSF 3634 in February, 1975. Trailing locomotive is the 2784, formerly ATSF 3623 built in January, 1975.
Closed in April 1998, Indianapolis Union interlocking tower still stood proudly at the east end of the train shed at Union Station. Having controlled movements for named passenger trains such as Knickerbocker, The Penn Texas, Kentuckian, James Whitcomb Riley, The Hoosier, St. Louisan, South Wind, Cardinal and National Limited, along with many others and also freight trains from all of the Indianapolis area roads, it was the largest and busiest in the city. It was also the last active tower, outlasting other locations in the city by at least 15 years.
On this particular day, I my knowledge of the area actually came in handy. My fiend Eric Hendrickson was on a temporary assignment at Avon yard west of the city. Over conversation, the subject of I.U.Tower came up and he had never heard of it. He made a few phone calls to secure access to the building, and we coordinated a day off together for a visit. We saw several trains pass the tower and had a lengthy visit inside to photograph equipment, first for posterity, then with hopes of preserving as much as possible.
Almost an afterthought, Q591 passes westbound among the urban sprawl. On the left is Bankers Life Fieldhouse, the home of the Indiana Pacers, and mixed retail and condos are on the right.

As a photographer, I'm really not a fan of shooting back-lit shots but I do like how this turned out. I couldn't just sit in my car watching as the classic blue & gold New England Central geep passed by. I still had to capture something in my camera. I feel the black and white plus curved track elevation, signal and shadows made it all come together.
a geological formation.
An interlocking spur, also known as an overlapping spur, is one of any number of projecting ridges that extend alternately from the opposite sides of the wall of a young, V-shaped valley down which a river with a winding course flows. Each of these spurs extends laterally into a concave bend of the river such that when viewed either upstream or from overhead, the projecting ridges, which are called spurs, appear to "interlock" or "overlap" in a staggered formation like the teeth of a zipper.[1]
While similar in general appearance, the mechanism behind the formation of interlocking spurs is different from that behind meanders, which arise out of a combination of lateral erosion and deposition. Interlocking spurs are formed as either a river or stream cuts its valley into local bedrock. As it entrenches its valley, it preferentially follows and erodes zones of weaknesses within the bedrock that typically consist of intersecting sets of joints. This process creates a zig-zagging fluvial valley that "interlock" or "overlap" in a staggered manner.
Moving at a snail's pace off the UP Elevator Lead and onto KCT Track 354 is UP train YKS75R-08 with a transfer from UP's 18th St. Yard to BNSF's Argentine Yard led by a pair of SD40N's. Here, they're easing out of The By's at Armstrong and approaching Adams St Interlocking, getting ready to cross the lower deck of the KCT Kaw River Bridge. 2/8/25.
