Only on two days of the week (Friday and Saturday) does CrossCountry provide an HST to work their 1V52 06.01 Glasgow Central - Plymouth. On Monday to Thursday the unlucky passengers have to put up with a Voyager. Here we have HST Power Car 43378 storming through Tamworth at very close to line speed (125mph) on the front of 1V52 running five minutes late. RTT shows the train was right time by Washwood Heath. That's some going!

Sunset afterglow with extreme light-intensity.

radiating and rising off of the Everglades)

In coastal North Carolina, the summers can be absolutely stifling. With temperatures steadily in the upper 90s and humidity levels to match, just moving through the day can prove difficult. Three changes of clothing per day are not unheard of.
It's no surprise that we usually flee the state late in the season, heading up to New England to camp and hike.
As we travel from NC toward New England, each day brings progressively cooler temperatures. Like stepping into a walk-in refrigerator, the relief is palpable, and we breathe a little easier for every degree of latitude we gain.
Two days into our drive north in 2010, we stumbled onto Hammonasset Beach State Park in Connecticut. It was surprisingly nice given its proximity to large metro areas, and if we had more time in the schedule, we would have stayed an extra couple of nights.
Early one morning, I rolled out of the tent to find the sunrise bouncing through a fog bank that had rolled off of Long Island Sound. The grasses were wet with dew, and the local wildlife was just getting started for the day.
It has been dastardly hot in NC for this time of year. Through late May and into this early in June, we're already breaking temperature records with highs of around 98. I felt I needed a little relief from the weather (and from posting farm and garden shots!), so I dragged this one out of the archives as a reminder -- an incentive to get through the upcoming summer months.

Ogni gesto lascia un'impronta che evoca una storia. La fotografia lo testimonia e ne conserva la memoria, talvolta mentendo, talvolta dicendo la verità. Chi vede, distingue. Quelle che si scorgono sono le tracce di alcuni attraversamenti. I luoghi sono quasi sempre quelli dell'abbandono e delle rovine: un modo, come altri, di pensare il tempo. Dietro l'apparenza di ciascuna immagine, c'è un soggetto invisibile. E' il protagonista, o meglio, sono i protagonisti di infinite piccole storie. Non solo personali.

A tap on the window whilst I was washing up, a neighbourly good morning just as though she was popping in for coffee and gossip.
Camera grabbed so image on settings from previous night but sill remember the moment, way back in 2009.

Just after a shower of rain, 68006 crosses over Kirknewton Level Crossing with 5G13. This is the Motherwell - Waverley ECS for Scotrail.

The salt flats in Badwater Basin cover nearly 200 square miles, among the largest protected salt flats in the world.
Salt flats are too harsh for most plants and animals to survive, yet are quite fragile. Delicate crystals are easily crushed and the relatively thin upper crust of salt can break through to the mud layer below, leaving tire tracks and even footprints. For this reason, vehicles are prohibited off established roads in Death Valley.

The largest national park south of Alaska, Death Valley is known for extremes: It is North America's driest and hottest spot (with fewer than two inches/five centimeters of rainfall annually and a record high of 134°F), and has the lowest elevation on the continent—282 feet below sea level. Even with its extremes, the park still receives nearly a million visitors each year.
In 1849 emigrants bound for California's gold fields strayed into the 120-mile long basin, enduring a two-month ordeal of "hunger and thirst and an awful silence." One of the last to leave looked down from a mountain at the narrow valley and said, "Good-bye, Death Valley."
The moniker belies the beauty in this vast graben, the geological term for a sunken fragment of the Earth's crust. Here are rocks sculptured by erosion, richly tinted mudstone hills and canyons, luminous sand dunes, lush oases, and a 200-square-mile salt pan surrounded by mountains, one of America's greatest vertical rises. In some years spring rains trigger wildflower blooms amid more than a thousand varieties of plants.
Native Americans, most recently the Shoshone, found ways to adapt to the more recent and forbidding desert conditions that exist here now. Rock art and artifacts indicate a human presence dating back at least 9,000 years.
From 1883 to 1889, wagon teams hauled powdery white borax from mines since fallen to ruin, an enterprise that spread word of Death Valley's striking landscapes, deep solitude, and crystalline air.
As night falls, Death Valley's elusive populations of bobcats, kit foxes, and rodents venture out. Far above on steep mountain slopes, desert bighorn sheep forage among Joshua trees, scrubby junipers, and pines, while hawks soar on thermals rising into vivid blue, cloudless skies.
Did You Know?
The highest mountain in the park, 11,049-foot Telescope Peak, lies only 15 miles from Badwater Basin, the lowest point in the U.S. The vertical drop from the peak to Badwater Basin is twice the depth of the Grand Canyon.
Named by gold prospectors struggling through the area in 1849, Death Valley has been inhabited by Timbisha Shoshone Native Americans; gold prospectors, including slaves; Chinese immigrants mining for silver and borax; Basque immigrants who settled here at the turn of the 20th century; and Japanese Americans temporarily interned here during World War II.
