Ernest Salu is the name of three Brussels stone sculptors specialized in funerary sculpture. Their well-known family stone cutting business was located in Laeken, and existed for more than a century, from 1872 to 1984. Laken Cemetery next door was their 'showroom'.
This is their former workshop, now a funerary art museum.
They walk as if bouncing to the beat of a rhythmic tune without a care in the world but nothing could be less true. The Louisiana Waterthrush will defend its territory along a river, facing off, sometimes with mouth agape and with sharp, rapid beats of their wings. Although this male continued to forage almost uninterrupted and undaunted by my presence, there were occasions when he clearly felt I might be a threat. So as not to overstress the bird, I kept my distance and my visit time to a minimum. Still, it is a treat to have this family so close to my home. #LouisianaWaterthrush
Two mute swans take off. Only after I started photographing birds like this taking off did I realize that part of the process is running on the water. Seen at Lake Erie Metropark, near where the Detroit River meets Lake Erie.
I hit the road with a new buddy I made on Instagram this morning. Last night we were trying to decide between one of the waterfall hikes in the Gorge or something else. We eventually settled on trying to locate a hidden lava tube near Carson, WA that we had both heard about and see photos of. After some back road adventuring and a quick quarter mile hike we found our hole in the ground and wandered in. Inside we found a huge, cavernous, cathedral shaped lava tube with striated walls and sections of floor alternating between high piles of boulder and smooth sand and cooled lava. We spent some time shooting long exposures, painting the walls with our headlamps. There's no darkness quite like being 1/4 mile under the surface of the earth and turning all your lights off.
Let's be friends!

Pling, an email. Pling, a text. Pling, a discord notification. Sometimes it's a bit much, isn't it?
The second round of this year’s RogueOlympics over on RogueBricks was about exploring the 'Internet'.
I had barely any time last week for the ROs - some three hours on a Sunday night was all that I could manage. So here's a simple little tale about ignoring the internet, I guess.
Can you recognise all the services that the minifigure is walking away from?
The RogueOlympics require you to stick to 101 elements or less so this little scene was built with a total of 98 bricks. It’s always great fun to work around those restrictions as it’s so different from most other contests, so of course I had to join.
Six more rounds to go, we barely started! Feel free to join in on the fun!
My first real try at lighting up a "scene" - with only 3 speed lights. I was wading around in the Loyalhanna creek under the cover of darkness, carrying around the lights, hoping i wasn't going to inadvertently step on a slick rock, or step down into a drop off and lose my balance and ruin one of my lights. A couple trains came before this 67X, and i tested my set up on them with varying results. Then 67X shows up, i get the shot, tear everything down, and head home to inspect my results.
It didn't turn out how i wanted it to, so this photo became an "I'll edit this one day" kind of photo. Unfortunately, just a month later, my external hard drive got corrupted, and all i had left of this shot was a lightly edited JPEG, not the RAW.
Fast forward to 2025 - 8 years of editing "experience" later - i was able to make it look, well, at least half decent.
Long story longer, 67X flies over the stone bridge in Latrobe with the PRR heritage leading the way over the double arches back in the summer of 2017.

Tasted great, with a tad of sweetness like jam actually.

I had a bit of a photography block the last couple of days and with yesterdays photo it felt like I blew off the dust of my idea book and just started shooting again!
It's gonna be a very busy week so I'm not sure how creative this week will be, but on friday my holiday finally starts!
So hang in there :)

A sight unlikely to be seen again, 4920 Dumbleton Hall in action in the UK.
A new coat of red and it’s off to Japan to probably persuade more far eastern fans of Harry Potter to clog up Glenfinnan car parks.
A rare outing on a demonstration goods train at a P & D Railway Gala in August 1993, sees 4920 passing Broadsands caravan park.
Having captured the empties coming in from Immingham at 05:55 in the morning, it would have been rude not to catch the Tinsley to Hedon Road loaded steel train between Tinsley South and Tinsley East junctions.
We endured a 15 minute heavy downpour which coincidentally occurred parallel to the delay of the trains departure. 66106 powers 6D16 away 15 minutes late running to Hedon Road sidings with the heavy skies still to the rear.
I love all the colors in the tail of the Rufous. She was really putting on a display while trying to intimidate the other hummers to stay away from her claim.

Dang, the WC was a cool railroad! They had a Fond du Lac to Milwaukee (CP) turn that took the WC to Duplainville then the CP down to Muskego Yard through the plant at Cut Off. Cut Off was where the passenger mains split to go downtown in the shadows of the Milwaukee Shops and the Falk Corp factory. Multiple overpasses in the area made it easy for views of the junction.
On the annual Rasmussen family trip to Milwaukee we had seen the eastbound version roll through Wauwatosa and had ourselves at Cujt Off for the return trip. Light engines might have been a bit of a disappointment, but the big F45 made up for it!
