A friend advised I should come down and photograph D791 across the wooden trestle in Harpers Ferry last night with the Shenandoah River in full view. When I arrived, the water in the foreground was up to the tree in the distance. A couple hours later, WInchester, VA to Brunswick local D791 arrived as the water had already receded.
Si vous vous aventurez du côté de Remagen, au sud de Bonn, vous tomberez sur une somptueuse gare néo-classique (toujours en fonctionnement) datant du milieu du 19ème siècle, offrant un magnifique panorama sur le Rhin. C’est la gare de Rolandseck, un lieu de rendez-vous des artistes et intellectuels au 19ème siècle ainsi que dans la deuxième moitié du 20ème siècle, transformée, depuis 2007, en musée grâce à l’ajout d’un deuxième bâtiment ultra moderne, perché au dessus sur la falaise.
La gare de Rolandseck, œuvre de l’architecte et ingénieur Emil Hermann Hartwich, a été inaugurée en 1858, à l’âge d’or du chemin de fer. De nombreuses personnalités du monde politique, artistique et culturel s’y retrouvaient. Guillaume Apollinaire a même écrit quelques poèmes, composés à Rolandseck, lors de son séjour en Allemagne entre 1901 et 1902.
Épargnée par les bombardements de la seconde guerre mondiale et tombée en désuétude, la gare devient, en 1964, grâce à un galeriste de Bonn du nom de Johannes Wasmuth, un centre artistique où sont exposées, entre autres, les œuvres de Hans Arp et de son épouse Sophie Taeuber Arp.
Au cours des années 90, Wasmuth convainc le land Rheinland-Pfalz et l’achitecte renommé Richard Meier de transformer le site en musée pour exposer une partie des oeuvres des deux artistes, œuvres léguées par la deuxième épouse de Hans Arp, Marguerite Arp-Hagenbach. C’est ainsi qu’en 2007 est inauguré le Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck.
Avant même d’entrer, on ne se lasse pas d’admirer le bel ensemble qu’offre la façade, ses balcons en fer forgé et sa verrière. Les étages supérieurs comprennant l’ancien hall de gare et les salles d’attente, servent de halls d’exposition et de restaurant.
If you venture to Remagen, south of Bonn, you'll come across a sumptuous neoclassical train station (still in operation) dating from the mid-19th century, offering a magnificent panorama of the Rhine. This is Rolandseck station, a meeting place for artists and intellectuals in the 19th and second half of the 20th centuries. Since 2007, it has been transformed into a museum thanks to the addition of a second, ultra-modern building perched above on the cliff.
Rolandseck station, the work of architect and engineer Emil Hermann Hartwich, was inaugurated in 1858, during the golden age of the railway. Many prominent figures from the worlds of politics, art, and culture used to gather there. Guillaume Apollinaire even wrote a few poems, composed in Rolandseck, during his stay in Germany between 1901 and 1902.
Spared from the bombings of the Second World War and having fallen into disuse, the station became, in 1964, thanks to a Bonn gallery owner named Johannes Wasmuth, an art center where, among other things, the works of Hans Arp and his wife Sophie Taeuber Arp were exhibited.
During the 1990s, Wasmuth convinced the state of Rheinland-Pfalz and the renowned architect Richard Meier to transform the site into a museum to exhibit some of the works of the two artists, works bequeathed by Hans Arp's second wife, Marguerite Arp-Hagenbach. Thus, in 2007, the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck was inaugurated. Even before entering, one never tires of admiring the beautiful ensemble offered by the façade, its wrought iron balconies and its glass roof. The upper floors, including the former station hall and waiting rooms, serve as exhibition halls and a restaurant.
Operation Plunder was an allied crossing of the River Rhine at Rees, Wesel and the south of the Lippe River by the British Second army and the United state 9th army. Operation varsity was the airborne part of Operation plunder and Operation Archway was a SAS landing that was part of it as well.
The Operation was an overall success for the Allies as they have learned from their mistake of having poorly planned airborne operations like Operation Market Garden.
Not a lot can be said other than that it was another nail hammered into Nazi Germanys coffin.

Last Saturday (12.04.2025) on the occasion of Lazarov Day (a public holiday, 1 week before Easter), BDZ - Bulgarian State Railways organized an attraction trip with the oldest steam locomotive in operation at the moment - 26.26, manufactured in the distant 1908 by "Henschel & Sohn" - Kassel. Back in the late 70s, the machine was declared a museum exhibit, but was restored for operation only in the late 80s. In the 90s, it was abandoned and did not operate for a long time. After a long period of restoration in 2022, , it was put back into operation. Since then, it has only served a few attraction trains to Bankya. Unfortunately, there are almost no wagons from its era left, and the few that are available are in a tragic condition. Personally, for me, this locomotive does not fit in at all with any of the BDZ rolling stock at the moment. Even the wagons of the Corona Express (the royal wagons) are untypically larger for it. I really hope that in the future, several two-axle wagons will be found which will fit better to this wonderful machine!
Video of the train is available here:

Rio Grande Heritage SD70ACe No. 1989 leads UP's SSCSC-28 on the former D&RGW through the Jordan Narrows east of Riverton, Utah on Oct. 28, 2006. The train ran east between Salt Lake City and Provo, returning west to Salt Lake City with the Southern Pacific Heritage SD70ACe, No. 1996 on the point.
April 2030, after information that has been intercepted by the crushed Warsaw Pact about the weak points of DARKWATER's defense around New York City and the massive planning that followed, the attack may commence. Platoons of EU soldiers infiltrate and squeeze through the cracks in the defense system. The most efficient way to infiltrate was to move through towering crates and harbor ships to attack the grand city.

This feed store has been around since before the 1904 St. Louis Worlds Fair!!! I guess it qualifies as historic.

A big hornet nest on the tall trees has been destroyed. Six people from Public Defense Department (JPA) called upon by the villagers came with a long prop, cotton waste and gasoline. About 15 minutes later, they start the flame and bring it up to burn the nest. Then, a colony of hornet (Giant Wasps) has turned to ash.
Can you imagine what the lost to the nature and macro lovers like us !

A Union Pacific Operation Lifesaver Special cruises effortlessly through Utah's Morgan Valley near the small town of Enterprise on Aug. 8, 2016.
In organising this stealth operation times were agreed, watches synchronised and 4 troops would meet at the given time.
Officer Dixon and Fly by the seat of his pants Pedlar had assembled at the RV point, yet no signs of the other 2 soldiers.
Polite whistling was exchanged between OD & FP to while away a bit of time, but still no show.
So the two dedicated soldiers decided to put on their combat equipment, namely wellies and set off alone on this mission.
As the two soldiers were almost approaching the venue to be photographed, their attention was drawn to a lady several metres up the cliff face sitting at a table of the Port William pub, waving her arms in an uncoordinated manner, shouting “get up here, my glass is empty again, your round”.
So the two soldiers duly obliged where they joined Christine and Dave.
With glasses charged a thoroughly enjoyable 4 way conversation ensued in one of the most idyllic drinking locations on the north coast of Cornwall.
Following a whole load of banter it was felt while we were still able to walk we had better head down and see what we could load onto our memory cards at Trebarwith Strand.
So good to meet up again Christine, Dave and Mark.
Hope you all have a great weekend out there in Flickerland.
I so appreciate you viewing my photos and leaving the comments and banter

A look into a washroom on the ground floor of the medical building at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, also known as Weston State Hospital, in Weston, WV.
Construction on the hospital began in 1858, and the first patients were admitted in 1864. The hospital, designed to hold 250 patients, eventually housed over 2,400 at its peak. The Asylum ceased operations in 1994. Today, the asylum is best known for its historic and paranormal tours, which offer a glimpse into both its architecture and the history of mental health treatment in the United States.

USCGC Mohawk 913 is a 270' United States Coast Guard Famous-class medium endurance cutter. She was launched on September 9th, 1989, at Robert Derecktor Shipyard Incorporated of Middletown, Rhode Island and commissioned in March 1991. She is the third cutter named for the Mohawk nation, a tribe of Iroquoian Indians who lived in the Mohawk Valley of New York.
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - she is 'in-service' now]
Mohawk is the 13th and last of the 270 foot Famous-class cutters. Built by the former Robert Derektor Shipyards of Rhode Island, Mohawk was christened on September 9, 1989. Since the time of her commissioning in March 1991, she served the Coast Guard in a wide variety of missions including Search and Rescue, Maritime Law Enforcement, and Alien Migrant and UFO Interdiction Operations.
Mohawk has been responsible for the rescue of more than 5,000 Haitian, Cuban, and Dominican Republic migrants and has supported as many as 756 migrants on deck at one time. Mohawk has also seized more than 20,700 pounds of illegal drugs. This, as well as Mohawk's role in several search and rescue cases and numerous boardings to enforce the United States national laws, has earned Mohawk two Unit Commendations, the Joint Meritorious Service Award and two Humanitarian Service Awards. Mohawk is homeported in Key West, Florida. On January 13th, 2010, the Mohawk was ordered to assist in the humanitarian relief efforts following the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Her nickname is "Mighty Mo"

the water with the US Coast Guard. Well, he really lived that dream!
He worked for the US Coast Guard for the last 30+ years, enduring moves from Tampa Florida, to Alaska, to Hawaii and back to North Carolina. He will be retiring with many honors within the next year.

Rail Operations Group class 37 No. 37884 ‘Cepheus’ grumbles through the flat fens in the morning sun hauling Greater Anglian class 317s to scrap, 317885 and 317341, on the approach to Waterbeach working 5Q76 08:00 Ely MLF Papworth Sidings to Newport Docks (Simsgroup) running 30 minutes late. 15/02/2023.
I’d tried this location before in the summer with this same loco when the class 317s were being taken to Papworth to storage. The shot didn’t go well as something wasn’t right about it l, not to mention the fact I mucked up the composure but mainly because the vegetation next to the track had grown up making it difficult to see the train. I was wanting to go out for this movement today as it was half term and I had the day free so I was checking Google Maps for good locations when this one came to mind. The spot is taken on the edge of Bannold Road on a grass verge before a field and works well most of the day as the sun position up until about 14:00 this time of year. I had to make sure that the vegetation wasn’t going to be too high this time of year and luckily street view was taken during colder months and showed a lot of of what I knew was there before.
Luckily for the shot, there service was running half an hour late which gave the sun more time to break through the clouds and fog, if it had passed on time, the sun would not have broken through yet. Very happy with how this shot tuned out, I've never had a good shot with this loco so pleased to finally get one. I used my bigger set of steps for this which have 4 steps, I was stood on the highest point, this was necessary to attempt to be more level with the train at this location as the railway is slightly higher than the road. An extra note is the Union Flag positioned above the coupling on the front of 37884, it may not be very visible in my shot as I am aware you can't zoom in very far but I noticed it afterwards and though I best point it out.

Canadian Forces Snowbirds fly over Edmonton on their cross country tour to salute front line healthcare workers and all Canadians doing their part to fight the spread of Covid-19 - dubbed OPERATION INSPIRATION. Heather and I saw the CT-114 Tutors fly almost directly over our house at 14:37 in the Snowbird signature formation called BIG DIAMOND. Two days later, on May 17th, Snowbird 11 crashed shortly after takeoff in Kamloops, BC. We mourn the death of Captain Jenn Casey and hope for the speedy recovery of Captain Richard MacDougall.
