BAL-05, with the CP 6241 and 6303 in their sharp Golden Beaver scheme leading, weave through some curves along the appropriately named Great River Road north of Guttenberg, IA on the west edge of the Mississippi River Valley. An old MILW line pole for some reason hangs on here, one of the few anywhere along this line to my knowledge. The ballast extra with it’s two set of GREX conveyor cars has been trying to weave through traffic southbound on the Marquette sub all day. Some minor signal issues at the siding at Eckards had delayed the train ahead (K50) and now this BAL-05 was running on restricting signals behind the slower freight most of the way to Dubuque it seemed. But that made for a nice chase for me! This sharp SD60 duo didn't last super long before one of them was replaced with a GP20ECo, unfortunately.
The CTC for this stretch around Eckards to Dubuque is relatively new. The CP has slowly been implementing CTC on the Marquette Sub from Sabula, IA to Bluff (La Crescent, MN), and has finally made it to Marquette with just a few "islands" of track warrant control "dark" territory left south of there. Given the increase in traffic on this line that is a key link in the CPKC’s Canada to Mexico route it certainly does seem warranted. Ballast trains are a common sight on the Marquette as they shuttle rock to expansion and heavy maintenance projects all throughout eastern Iowa from the pit at Waterloo, WI.
On the night of 10th May this year we had a major flood event in Hobart, Tasmania. We had 3.5 times the average monthly rainfall in 24 hours - 130mm.
On that night it was very stormy. But when it was in full force it was quite extraordinary. Our laundry ceiling collapsed and we had a river of water flowing through the ceiling. Our family had a bucket train going to minimise the damage as best we could.
And the whole time, there was constant lightning in the sky. Non-stop. Never seen anything like it. Almost expected to see the rim of a massive ufo appear through the clouds.
The next morning when we looked at the world around us, we saw that the University suffered much worse than we did. This photo is of the Law building - water flowed through the library, bursting the doors and a river of books were swept onto the car park and the oval. Quite extraordinary. The engineering building basement was flooded completely.
So six months later, our laundry is finally being repaired by the insurance company. Either a testament to how widespread the damage was and the lack of resources to fix everything in a reasonable time, or something else.

It's time for more baby pictures.
There were dozens of chicks that kept us entertained all morning-especially these two. A wildlife biologist who was there to check on the birds (and the photographers), said the chick on the left was about 7 days old and the chick on the right was about 5 days old (give or take one day)-they were siblings. Whatever the older chick did, the younger one mimicked-as you can see here. They were inseparable and a riot. The younger chick fell over a lot-still learning to walk. Tons of fun on the beach this day.

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
Psalm 139: 4-6

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
― H.P. Lovecraft

I was amazed by the ceiling in this room, which symbolized for me the Tree of Knowledge at the Gottesman Research Library and Learning Center of the Museum of Natural History in New York. It was designed by Studio Gang, the international and urban practice design firm led by Jeanne Gang, and was reopened in 2023.
I'm sure everybody needs one of these : )
“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge,
That myth is more potent than history.
I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts
That hope always triumphs over experience
That laughter is the only cure for grief
And I believe that love is stronger than death.”
- Robert Fulghum
Hope you all have an enjoyable week!

Just over five centuries ago, Da Vinci spent 5 years waiting for Mona Lisa. And it was great, because until today Mona enchants us with her enigmatic smile, her charm, elegance and nobility of character.
But Leonardo had to wait much longer before Mona Harris appeared. And he admits, it was worth it. A woman of principles and knowledge transformed into wisdom, able of uniting a people disunited since the American Civil War. We live on a wild little planet. It's time to heal our wounds. It's time to look to a future for everyone. Of all races. Of all religions. From all social classes. Ignorance makes wars. Uniting people is an Art. The true Art of Life.
To the best of my knowledge at the time of the photo these vessels were "waiting" to be incorporated into a maritime museum. so they were "stored" on the shore at the Orteliuskaai, Antwerp, Flanders.

Como curiosidad decir que en estos terrenos existió un jardín zoológico de nombre Casa de Fieras, inaugurado en 1.774 y clausurado en 1.972. Los animales salvajes estaban en jaulas en penosas condiciones de salubridad, recordando aun en la década de los 60 el fuerte olor que despedían.
As a curiosity, there used to be a botanical jarden in these grounds called Casa de Fieras (House of wild Beats,) inaugurated in 1774 and closed in 1972. The wild animals were locked up in cages in very poor sanitary conditions, and even in the sixties during a visit I can still remender the strong smell they gave off.
The Most Confidential Knowledge
‚If any pure-hearted devotee offers Me a leaf, a flower, fruit or water with love and devotion, i will surely accept that gift.
The preparation may be delicious or not, but if it is offered with love and a feeling that it is very delicious, it becomes most delicious to Me. At that time, I give up all other thoughts and relish it. Even if such a fruit or flower has no taste or fragrance, I still accept it, being captivated by My devotee’s prema.‘
Bhagavan is now explaining the quality of that worship: it is easy to perform. When an easily attainable object, such as a leaf, flower, fruit or water, is offered to Bhagavan with devotion, then He accepts it in an appropriate manner, even though He is endowed with unlimited opulence and is perfectly satisfied. He becomes hungry and thirsty because of His devotee’s love for Him and, absorbed in that mood of devotion, He eats the offering out of prema.
A classic camera resting on the pages of the timeless Enciclopedia Treccani—a perfect pairing of two treasures that preserve history. One captures moments through a lens, while the other captures the world through words and knowledge.
Together, they remind us that storytelling comes in many forms: the click of a shutter or the turn of a page. 📚✨

This is an image from my Fragments project.
Knowledge consists of fragments of information, of facts, of experiences. We arrange these fragments in some order and we get a narrative which forms into knowledge. If we arrange fragments in a different order, we will get a different narrative. But all the information remains.
