St Andrew's church dominating here, plus a mix of tones and textures. Plus the near-obligatory lead-in lines.

Mittimatalik, known in English as Pond Inlet, is located on the northerly tip of Baffin Island in the Lancaster Sound region on the east side of Eclipse Sound.
The region has one of Canada's most inhospitable climates—with long, dark winters and temperatures averaging −30.8 °C (−23.4 °F) (December to February, meteorological reckoning). By 2021, Pond Inlet with a population of 1,555, along with Clyde River with 1,181 and Qikiqtarjuaq with 593, comprised the population of the Arctic Cordillera—about 3,300 people. Most of the people who live in the region survive by hunting, fishing, and trapping.
It is at this location, it is believed, was the last sighting of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus in 1845, of the ill fated Franklin expedition, by a party of Inuit whalers. The ships were observed transiting Eclipse Sound, shown above, into Navy Board Inlet on their search for the Northwest Passage.
Shot at F8, contre-jour, reflector. Every lens has its own characteristics (strengths and weaknesses, if you like). In addition, with this tele-lens one can get the lead roll in good focus and still throw the background out of focus.
This was entered in the KCPA ( Kent County Photographic Association ) and I recieved a merit award 20/20 which is a great honour , there were 33 clubs that had entered a panel of 8 images !
The printing plate of a typical Amsterdam canal warehouse from 300 years ago in lead and brass (I think) to get an original inked screen print of that. This was in the shop window of a small printing house with a press. I suspect that this printing plate is about 30 years old.

Crawfords' C44aci's PHC002 (Spud) & PHC001 (Carrot) lead 3594 through Chilcotts Creek loop, Willow Tree on the Bomen's empty log service, bound for Werris Creek.
On the 23/06/23, the same consist ran as 5391 with a full load of logs from the Crawfords Freightliners Yard in Werris Creek to the LINX Wagga (Bomen) Freight Terminal, before returning empty via Sydney and Newcastle, instead of the Binnaway line. 25/06/23

Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead

The 520 crew has just delivered the first two cars for Nickles in Navarre in over a year and is stopped in their truck parking lot while the conductor looks around for the owners of four vehicles parked on the rails on March 9, 2019.
The landscape may not be turning green yet, but there's one sure sign of spring here - a ballast train!
CP 6241 and CP 6306 lead two GREX conveyor train sets south over a classic truss bridge approaching Marquette, IA. This curve across the floodplain of the Yellow River and the Mississippi Backwater slough is below the bluffs Effigy Mounds National Monument, on the ridge in the background. The crew, running under the symbol BAL-05, has been battling a bit of congestion this morning around Harpers Ferry, but is finally getting to run out the last few miles for a crew change ahead at the depot. The former SOO SD60 duo sure brings a nice pop of color to the otherwise dull early April landscape. I’ve always liked this bridge but the ground view has always felt like it could use a slight bit of elevation. I don’t shoot “wide” with the drone as much anymore (I prefer the far-less-distorted 3x tele of the Air3 more often lately) but this scene and height seemed to suit.
A little more of the story for those that care:
The CKPC has started the annual warm-weather blitz of loads out of the pit at Waterloo, WI which supplies rock for many of the former ICE (nee-Milwaukee Road) lines into Iowa. And thankfully for us railfans anyway, these trains seem to be some of the last holdouts for some of the EMD SD products still getting to regularly run the mainline. So on this sunny beautiful Sunday morning, when I heard the CP 6241 get a warrant out of Bluff (La Crescent, MN) for a run down the river, I drove north to meet them.
The BAL-05 had a good run to Harpers Ferry, but then was stalled out by traffic ahead. There were at least 7 trains within about 25 miles of Marquette at one point for a couple hours: 4 trying to go south, two trying to come up from Dubuque and turn the corner towards Mason City, and one poor northbound that got hosed at Harpers Ferry for quite a while.
The CP Marquette Subdivision from Marquette to Bluff is one of the last bits of track that’s still under Track Warrant Control on this now-critical link between Davenport (Nahant) and St. Paul (there are a couple others, but CTC has been installed most of the way now), so the first trick DS was quite busy trying to keep on top of issuing and canceling warrants to keep everybody moving. It sometimes got a little messy (there was a shove move up a different leg of the wye in Marquette required at one point to make a meet work…). But trains eventually got to where they were supposed to be going! And since this BAL-05 was also following a slower train ahead, it allowed me to get 10 separate runbys over the course of the afternoon of this fine duo. A good early spring day even if it was still the "brown season!"
Psalm 4:1 “When I call out, answer me, O God who vindicates me! Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and respond to my prayer!”
On the northern outskirts of Dubuque, IA, separating the John Deere Dubuque Works and John Deere Marsh, is CPKC's Edmore siding. A jointed rail, messy siding for CPKC's standards, the thing is somewhat awkwardly spaced out between the only grade crossing, stretching the distance between it and the north siding switch.
Today's subject is a merger consist of the GE variety, hauling CPKC 3-261, an extra section of the Kansas City, MO (Knoche Yard) - St. Paul, MN (Pig's Eye Yard) manifest, as it makes its way north, holding the main, paralleling Riverside Rd. If you look directly to the left of the lead locomotive's cab, you can see the tail end of the manifest still skirting along the shoreline in the far background. And yes, that's a giant antenna mounted by a magnetic base stuck right on top of the nose, wired through the cab door inside. That's one way to do it.
Taken on the CPKC Marquette Subdivision on 7/3/25.

Pitt Lake Dike
Look out point - From the top, you get bird's eye views of the surrounding area. Pitt Lake ( left ) and the marshy, wetlands (right)
There are a large variety of animals who live in the Pitt Wilderness Management Area including geese, ducks, Ospreys, Great Blue Herons, eagles, and other mammals such as beavers, deer, and bears. During the late spring, many geese and ducks can be seen protecting their young goslings from predators. During the evening, beavers can occasionally be spotted swimming along the shore of the dikes.
