With a special excursion train in tow, Nickel Plate Road 765 steams through Somme Woods in Northbrook, Illinois. 765 is a 2-8-4 "Berkshire" type steam locomotive built in 1944 by the Lima Locomotive Works. Retired from service in 1958, 765 was restored in 1979 by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society.

Notre-Dame de Thierenbach, à 2 km de Soultz jouit d'un site incomparable au pied du Vieil Armand et du Grand Ballon. De style baroque, les origines de ce haut-lieu de pèlerinage marial remontent au 8ème siècle (730). Elle fut fondée par les moines bénédictins de Murbach venus d'Irlande. En 1125, un jeune noble de Soultz, atteint de maladie incurable, y fut miraculeusement guéri. Cinq ans plus tard, en 1130, Pierre le Vénérable, abbé de Cluny y fonde un prieuré bénédictin, supprimé par la Révolution. L'église actuelle, de style baroque autrichien, fut construite en 1723 par Peter THUMB. Elle devint l'église paroissiale de Jungholtz en 1881 et fut érigée en Basilique mineure par Pie XI en 1936. En 1980 furent fêtées les solennités du 1250ème anniversaire de la création du Pèlerinage. De nombreux ex-votos offerts pour accompagner une demande ou un remerciement à la Vierge tapissent les murs de l'église. Plus de 800 existent encore aujourd'hui. Le plus ancien, date de 1680. La basilique de Thierenbach possède un orgue Didier Fisher Krämer, datant de 1923. De nombreux concerts d'orgue sont proposés tout au long de l'année.
Rediscovered this one last night. Had forgotten about it, though I'm not sure how as I took it on a wonderful walk through a previously unfamiliar part of London (Bermondsey) that also yielded this shot amongst others: flic.kr/p/Jqo72W.

Yesterday was a wild mix of weather...we had wind, snow, and rain... but as the sun eased to rest behind the mountains, it shone on the evening mist, turning it golden, as it kissed the tops of the trees and hills with it's sweetest light of the day.....

Have a wonderful Wednesday.... xo
Gazania flowers (Gazania rigens /Mittagsgold) on the terrace 😄 For a sunny weekend ☀️
They only look like this in the hours around noon, hence the German name 'Mittagsgold' (Midday Gold). The rest of the day the blossoms are closed.

This is a view from skiing at noon yesterday. Note the greys, the flatness of light. This is what we deal with up here. Still, we get more than those folks up in Fairbanks.

A kingfisher's call was accompanying me along the Two Bays Walking Track and it was just after midday when the Sacred Kingfisher finally appeared on a dead tree at the Long Point Track. I had no choice but to use this opportunity "in the glaring light of high noon" .

Darkness at noon by Arthur Koestler... story of a Bolshevik imprisoned for treason against the government he helped to create...Koestler's best known novel
It was high noon, or thereabouts, in the deep west of Victoria (Australia). There were no gun-totin' sun-ripened cowboys around, but plenty of annoying over-sized flies to argue with.
