It's a beautiful October morning in the Mitten as Great Lakes Central OW11 heads south behind a pair of ex Montana Rail Link SD35-3s. Time is short for these rare units, the only operable SD35s in the US (as far as I know), as Watco continues to bring in newer power to replace them.

Title derived from photography location.

It’s been 26 years since we last visited Australia on our honeymoon. We intended to go back for our 10th and 20th anniversaries but life had other things installed for us and our 25th was cancelled because of family health problems. But we finally made it for our 26th anniversary on the 4th October.

 

I thought it at the time, and this trip has only reinforced my belief that Australia is a far more advanced country with a positive lifestyle and culture to be envied. However, right from the outset, and I mean the moment our A350 touched the ground that Australia has gone out of its way to recognise its first peoples with acknowledgements at every opportunity, although the referendum result has totally contradicted this so let’s stay away from all of the politics.

 

I’m in two minds whether or not to post in chronological order or pick out the best images due to over excitement. However, here’s my first image take on day one in Melbourne… I’ve got over 2200+ images to go at plus several hundred taken on my iPhone.

 

To reinforce my point above here is the accompanying text to go along with the image.

 

“Birrarung Marr – We respectfully acknowledge that we are on the traditional land of the Kulin Nation. This special place is now known by its European name of Melbourne. Today, Melbourne is one of the great multicultural cities of the world, a significant meeting place. Birrarung means ‘river of mists’ in the Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri people who originally inhabited the area and ‘Marr’ equates with the side of the river. The Melbourne City Council proudly dedicates this park to the people of Melbourne.”

Un matin glacial

Un silence étonnant

Mais un ciel bleu

Une neige lumineuse

A se mettre à genoux devant!...... ;-))

 

Ce qu'on ne voit pas: le chemin blanc, gelé, où les seules traces étaient celles, multiples, des pattes d'oiseaux et de lapins!

 

Le propriétaire de la ferme est décédé récemment. C'était l'unique paysan de ce hameau.

Sa maison restera-t-elle une ferme, deviendra-t-elle une résidence secondaire, ou une habitation principale?

 

A noter que dans ce village, qui ne comptait que trois couples à demeure en 1978, il y a maintenant six résidences principales...et plein d'enfants!......

  

A Egliseneuve-près-Billom.

A environ 25 km de Clermont-Ferrand (où travaillent beaucoup d'habitants de ce village).

 

(petit retour en arrière car un peu marre de la grisaille persistante depuis une semaine).

Even though I've already put in a submission for #flickrfriday I decided to drop another one in. Similar to my previous submission, this is another bridge that is connected to the set of train tracks near my home. This bridge here is one that goes over a very frequented back road, the same road my mom would take me and my two siblings out for drives to entertain us. Not to mentions the whole road has a spectacular view of a gorgeous river!

La casa vieja

We are in monsoon season here in the midwest. The rain took a break this morning, the sun made an appearance for a few hours, and I slogged through the wet. This is from a small park in Goshen, Ohio not far from where I live

Ruins of what was originally a feed and general store for local farmers.

Beyond the established trails, the falls on lower Marr Branch carve their way toward the bottom of the New River Gorge to eventually meet the river. West Virginia.
