Snow Geese set up position for flight. There were about 300-500 snow geese behind this lead group. Note that the black geese with white heads are Dark Phase Snow Geese aka Blue Geese.....click to magnify...

A weighty exhibition of Anselm Kiefer has just opened in Museum Voorlinden. Preparations involved a lot of muscle power and heavy machinery. Here a library of lead books is installed.
"So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here"
Pink Floyd
Hope all of my flickr friends are well and enjoy their weekend ! :-))
Found an old print from about 1979. Pentax MX with an autowinder controlled with a home made 10m long wired remote. The flash was an ancient Metz modified to run off a 6v lead acid battery as I could not afford a continuous supply of AA's at the time. It was probably ilford fp4 film push processed to 250asa. Printed in the bathroom with an 1940's enlarger.
Not sure if this new fangled digital photography will ever catch on.
Pacific National's 8215, 8249, 8255 & 8233 lead empty Manildra grain 9535 up the grade between Quipolly and Werris Creek. Loading then occurred at Pennys Rd, Bellata, before heading back to Bomaderry near Nowra.
Due to the track washout between Waterfall and Bomaderry, the South Coast line had been closed for repairs. Stopping grain from getting to the Shoalhaven Starches Mill from Northwest NSW. 27/04/24
There is a waterfall below a sluice and bridge at the top of Lead Mines Clough, which is still only about half way up “Limestone Clough” to give the larger area its proper name. It is close to where a path comes from Jepson’s Gate and just below the junction of the Devil’s Brook and Limestone Brook. The waterfall is usually unimpressive due to little water flow but the drop is quite good, formed by the ledge of a geological fault as are most of the natural falls in this area.
A good waterfall to take a look it if you’re exploring the lead mines, or on the way to Round Loaf.

Lead by GP38-2 #2013, RBMN train JTPI rolls by a special event train, lead by GP38-2 #2014. The train is parked, loading items for a wedding party who rented out the three coaches for the afternoon. Curious what that bill looked like!

Striations and layers seem to be pointing to a rock outcropping in Valley of Fire, near Las Vegas, Nevada.
The ruins of St. John's Episcopal Church in the town of Glen Allan, Washington County, Mississippi, USA. This church was built in the 1850s using slave labor. During the American Civil War, locals removed the stained glass windows to use the lead for bullets. The structure was wrecked by a tornado in 1904, and the ruins now sit among graves of the Greenfield Cemetery.

Stary Browar Park
This was an exceptionally beautiful morning here in Poznan. Very foggy in the early parts only to have the fog break later and all of this gorgeous light pour through. Although already late to work and I should probably be following their lead and race to where I need to be, I am caught in the moment and continue to shoot for a bit...this was one of the last shots before I reluctantly made my way to start the day..............somehow I forgot to post this earlier. Enjoy.

Here is a photo of a member of the band Troublemaker, a rock band that use to perform in the north Houston-Harris County/Montgomery County area. My sister is a friend of the band and this photo and a couple of others were taken at the Jailhouse Saloon, in Old Town Spring, Texas, back in November, 2018. We were there to celebrate my sister's birthday. The photo was taken with a Canon 80D with a EF-S 18-135mm lens, with adjustments made in post-processing
Here you can see how early car manufacturers used lead (instead of Bondo) to fill in roof joints. Notice how sanding (file) marks are still present in the lead. More importantly, just how thick the early paint jobs had to be to cover these scratches up.

This wonderful tiffany light which is made of leaded glass is around 6ft wide serves as a centerpiece in a sales center in The Villages Florida. There is a round table with a large flower display directly under the light, so photographed from one side.

Grand Rapids Eastern GP38-2 #2104 leads a trio of SD40-2s on the outbound Z151, rolling east on the CSX Sunnyside lead towards the wye, where they will turn to head north on the old Baldwin sub. The vantage point here is afforded by the old interurban (later New York Central) overpass, which is now a bike trail. From left to right are tracks Old 17, the Main, the Sunnsyside Lead and the OOS Maggie's Lead.

The calmly flowing waters of a swollen Kickapoo Creek gently touch the concrete footings currently supporting the passage of this heavy, 131-car, southbound Union Pacific coal drag as its two, lead, AC six-axles ride their dynamic brakes, coasting downhill across a combination deck plate and lattice through truss bridge along the former C&NW "SI Line" outside Bartonville on a gloomy July morning. This train of loaded aluminum BethGons -- symbol CNAPW 14 -- are topped out with over 18,000 tons of Wyoming's finest black diamonds; Filled at Peabody's North Antelope Mine in the state's rich Powder River Basin, these hoppers have only a few short miles left to travel before reaching their destination at NRG Energy's Powerton Generating Station, near Pekin. The train will soon cross the Illinois River drawbridge and immediately make a right turn onto the IMRR and down into Crescent Yard for interchange where they'll tie down and the loads will wait for an Illinois & Midland crew to spot the cars at the plant for final dumping. Slated for decommission come the end of 2028 due to the country's relentless insistence on "cleaner" energy alternatives, Powerton is the sole remaining, actively burning coal-fired power plant to still remain standing in the greater Peoria area, outliving the facilities at Havana, Hennepin and Canton's Duck Creek (2019), and eventually the E.D. Edwards Station at Bartonville (2022). Once closed, it'll be another major hit in activity levels for a route that is already down in traffic. Twice weekly scheduled manifest service between Peoria and Clinton, IA, as needed coal, grain and ethanol unit traffic, and seasonal ballast trains are pretty much the bulk of what traverses this line.
For southbounds, this is the final, and most dramatic, crossing atop a snaky Kickapoo Creek which twists and turns beneath the rails of the Peoria Subdivision in six different locations within just about a short, two mile stretch of track. Just about a half mile back from this bridge, the train is still working through the CTC controlled interlocking at "Peoria JCT" where the Peoria Sub main to South Pekin splits from UP's "Low Line," which routes trains for Peoria area interchange into and out of their small Adams St. Yard just a short distance away on the city's southwest side. The single-tracked Peoria Subdivision, which runs south out of Nelson away from the busy Geneva Sub, uses a combination of CTC, TWC and ABS infrastructure to route what little traffic runs down this line and is also the only class 1 of four that has a "through route" through the city. A line that does not get much attention from photographers, an older "winged" EMD SD70ACe on the point of a well timed coal load just was enough for me to grab the camera and quickly pick it off at this very seldom shot location.
I sure could do without that walkway.
CN 3183 enters Minnesota from Ontario over the Rainy River Bridge in Baudette at the easternmost points of the CN Sprague Subdivision. I was initially going to get this photo and then keep heading east, but this train had GTW 4920 behind the lead unit, so that called for heading to the curve at Pitt to get and extra photo of this unique consist.
