This tiny stream flows into the Afon Garw near Pont Yr Hyl. The Afon Garw was once known as the Black river because of all the coal dust from the five mines which used to be in the valley. Now you can spot trout in the speckled sunlight. The Afon Gawr in turn flows into the Afon Ogwr which reaches the sa at Ogmore

This 28-300mm lense really let's you capture some very different scenes of the same train without moving an inch. Having shared the long telephoto versions already here is the wide version that captures the full scene with your eyes now drawn to the old wooden elevator as a prop instead of the signals.
This is the westbound Montana Rail Link 'night gas' train behind SD70ACes 4406 and 4408 (both built new for the road in Apr. 2014) leading a trainload of refined petroleum products from Missoula to Thompson Falls as they pass the west end of the 11,360 ft siding and cross Central Ave. at MP 6.4 on the 4th Sub Mainline.
These railfan favorite gas trains are the only trains on this end of the railroad anymore that are guaranteed to run with blue power. Strictly an intra-MRL operation, these trains came into being in 1995 when a gap was created in the 40 yr old and 531 mile long Yellowstone Pipeline when the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe chose not to renew the pipeline company's lease of 21 miles of right of way across their Flathead Indian Reservation.

For the past few days we've seen both a male and female Rose Breasted Grosbeak in our yard. They have been rather shy, not wanting to attract to much attention - but they have failed in that department.
Not sure if they are scouts showing up ahead of "the group" or stragglers taking their time, but we're thrilled they are here! And we're trying to get any and all shots we can, while we can! Grabbed this shot of the female when she came out into the open to check out some of the feeders below where she's perched.
Fingers crossed they'll still be here when to hold our Harvest Fest for our Backyard visitors later this weekend!

"Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud..."

Back to the glorious gold and blue mirror that is Otaki Beach...
Taken near Kinloch Hourn in the pouring rain. I only managed 2 photos, this was the first, the second was useless as the front of my lens was covered in droplets. I quite like this one, happy days
I spent some time just meandering around the Temple Street area, reminiscing about my previous visits, before my love for photography struck years ago. There were so many details that I would pass by, so many spaces I would ignore as my focus was entirely on having fun, shopping and generally screwing around...
So much has changed in the time since I last visited to now. My palate for flavor from my first visit over twelve years ago is far more adventurous for one thing. As soon as I land, the only thing on my mind is finding a big plate of pissing shrimp fried in hot chilies and garlic, and steamed razor clams. Twelve years ago I was astonished at all the cheap and nice things I could buy on Temple Street, along with an overwhelming sense of selfish greed as I attempted to see how far I could stretch my travel budget. This time I don't give a second glance at what's sold on the street, my attention is focused solely on the people, the atmosphere, the beautiful, wondrous smell of freshly fried seafood, and the lights. Those beautiful lights.
I also notice the environmental details that were not immediately apparent during those prior trips. The dark alleyways and the people quietly and quickly moving along them, working hard behind the neon lights. The ones carrying the heavy loads and making the wheels turn inside this massive machine of a city. That area around Temple Street is full stories. If only I had more time to spend exploring it, diving deeper with my camera.

37408 Loch Rannoch passing the site of the former steam shed with the 17.14 Manchester Victoria - Blackpool North. 8 June 1993.
I had to change trains in Woking Station and really liked the interesting architecture as Art Deco is a favourite of mine.

I'm sorry. She was deformed by a wide angle lens. ( ^^;
She is more slender.
Si avvicina il Natale.
55 anni fa, il 12 dicembre '69 la strage di piazza Fontana, a Milano, con 17 vittime e numerosi feriti.
Fu il primo atto terroristico dal dopoguerra e iniziò un periodo di stragi e la ' strategia della tensione ' che mise a dura prova l' Italia.
Fu opera di un gruppo neofascista di Ordine Nuovo.
Numerosi furono i depistaggi e i ritardi colpevoli che non permisero la punizione degli autori dell'atto criminale. Anzi i parenti delle vittime dovettero pagare le spese processuali
