Operated by Sirisu Aero in a 43 seat layout, Yak-42D, RA-42423 departs Dublin back in 2008. Possibly the last Yak-42 to visit?
VRE 305 heads south toward Fredericksburg, dodging some intermittent clouds as they slow for their stop in Crystal City. With the roads still rough and the federal government offices closed, VRE operated their snow schedule at about 50% the normal service today. I'm guessing most trains were still empty.
“MS Pride of America is a cruise ship operated by NCL America, a division of Norwegian Cruise Lines, to sail itineraries in the Hawaiian Islands. Construction of the ship began in 2000 in the United States as part of a plan for a U.S.-built and U.S.-flagged cruise ship under Project America, but the project failed and she was eventually purchased by Norwegian Cruise Lines and completed in Germany. She was inaugurated in 2005, and was the first new U.S. flagged, U.S.-built (aside from the outfitting) deep water passenger ship in nearly fifty years since the SS Argentina of 1958.”

Turkish operate a fleet of 15 Boeing 737-900ER's. The first ten were supplemented by a further five delivered during 2015. This example powers down Ataturk's Runway 35L in the afternoon sunshine, past Pippo's Restaurant at the Flyinn Mall.
An old SNCF operated Nez Casse locomotive 7254 is seen stood at the western end of Toulouse Railway station. The driver who looks as though he is dressed for the beach has a few minutes before departure so gets a little fresh air and has a look up and down the platform. The locomotive is pretty filthy and looks as though it has had a green spray paint job just on the nose. Whoever added the paint must have taped off the headlights but has clearly taken less care of the ends of the nose panels.
The oldest operating lighthouse in the world, the Tower of Hercules was built by the Romans in the 1st century AD. An additional skin of blockwork was added in 1791 along with a upper storey with a lantern room. The lighthouse is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I believe this is a Cadillac, though I can't see clearly what model it is.
I should have checked out the information after having taken the photo, but it appears the entire trunk is made up of batteries that run the car, instead of an internal combustion engine.
I also didn't take the time to go to the front of the car to see what was under the hood. But it makes me wonder where one puts their groceries or luggage, if the trunk is now a power grid?
ODC-No Electricity
One of the things to always have around in a blackout is candles. These are the safe ones that are battery operated so no fire was used in this photo. Keep lots of batteries on hand too!

Operating today as IAIS Train STEAM-11, QJ 6988 storms past the Rock Island Depot at West Liberty along the IAIS Iowa City Sub. My good friend Jared Childress is in the fireman's seat here running a nice clean stack at 40 MPH.
Built in 1985 by the Datong Locomotive Works for the Ji Tong Railway Of China, QJ 6988 is now operated by the Central States Steam Preservation Association. This and its sister 7081 were imported in 2006 by Iowa Interstate's owner Railroad Development Corporation.
The 6988 was en route to the new shop complex in Silvis, IL that was recently acquired by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America preservation group where it will be evaluated and receive its 1472 overhaul before returning to service. The engine actually received a rare FRA extension waiver on its boiler ticket in order to move the engine across the system to the shop facility, a testament to the confidence in the work done by CSSPA.

India, Kerala or Kēraḷam, Backwaters.
Shore operated lift fishing nets are a type of stationary lift nets, commonly known in India as "Chinese fishing nets", each installation is operated by a team of 4 to 6 fishermen.
In India they are mostly found in Kerala’s Backwaters & coastal areas around the cities of Kollam & Kochi, where they became besides for fishing also a tourist attraction & a beloved photo motive.
This for India unusual fishing method is almost unique to the area of Kerala,
This fishing method was introduced by Chinese explorers who landed there in the 14th century. One assumption of the city name Kochi is “co-chin”, the interpretation is meaning “like China”
📌….unique backwaters are a network of interconnected five large lakes linked by canals, both manmade, fed by 38 rivers & brackish lagoons extending nearly half the length of Kerala state. A labyrinthine system formed by almost 1.000 km of waterways lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast, known as the “Malabar Coast”.
The backwaters have an exceptional ecosystem; freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the Arabian Sea, formed by the action of waves & shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range.
A Thannermukkom Salt Water Barrier, preventing salt water from the sea is entering the deep inside, keeping the fresh water intact. Such fresh water is extensively used for irrigation purposes.
Numerous unique aquatic species including mudskippers, crabs, frogs, water birds such as kingfishers, darters, terns, darters & cormorants, animals like otters & turtles live in the backwaters area. Palm trees, pandanus bushes & other leafy plants grow alongside the backwaters, providing a green shade to the surrounding landscape.

The Strathspey Railway operates from platform 3 of Network Rail's Aviemore railway station. Until 1998 the railway's southern terminus was Aviemore Speyside about 300 yards (270 m) further north. Aviemore Speyside is no longer in regular use, although its platform has been retained as a fallback in case of problems with access to the Network Rail station. Coaling of the steam locomotives is carried out at a facility constructed in 2014 on the site of the former Aviemore Speyside station building. Its signal box, which was formerly at Garve West and transported from there in 1986, was retained when the station itself shut. New features are gradually being brought into service at the Aviemore site controlled using traditional British Railways mechanical semaphore signalling.
From Aviemore, the line passes the four-road locomotive shed which was constructed by the Highland Railway in 1898. The original purpose of the shed was to house locomotives for the lines to Perth and Inverness (via Carrbridge and Forres). It was common for original Highland Railway engines to be allocated to the shed and in London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) days it housed Stanier Black Fives, Pickersgill Bogies (Caledonian Railway), Caley 439 tanks, Caley 812 classes, and Fairburn tanks. In British Railways days the shed was allocated the shed code '60B'. These days the engines that are in traffic on the Strathspey Railway still bear the 60B shedplate on their smokebox. The shed has a 60-foot (18 m) turntable, originally from Kyle of Lochalsh.
There is also a carriage maintenance shed which was erected and opened for use in 2005; this shed allows the railway's volunteers and staff to work on its fleet of coaches indoors. On the opposite side of the line is a three road carriage storage shed erected and opened in 2011; this allows the coaches to be stored under cover and protected from the weather.
The former engine crew hostel, called Spey Lodge, stands just to the north. This building was erected by the LMS during the Second World War to provide railway crews with a safe and cheap option for accommodation whilst rostered to work locally. The British Railways Staff Association For Scotland then took it on to provide holiday accommodation for railway staff and their families. It was saved by the Strathspey Railway Company during the 1970s and gradually the facilities have been upgraded by volunteers. Spey Lodge now fulfils its original role again, providing hostel accommodation for engine crews and other volunteers working on the railway.
After Spey Lodge, the railway passes the site of the new Aviemore Hospital then crosses Dalfaber level crossing, an Automatic Open Crossing, Locally Monitored (AOCL). This level crossing was not originally part of the railway, but was installed after the development of the Dalfaber Estate in the 1980s. After crossing the road and passing the Cairngorm Brewery the line climbs through Granish Moor. This heather moor affords views of Cairngorm Mountain and the line runs parallel to the Speyside Way, a popular walking and cycling route. Once into the forest at the north end of the moor, the line descends past Boat of Garten golf course and into the village of Boat of Garten itself.
