In the fog of Manchester a Metrolink heads out towards Castlefield, passing the new towers being built. These towers have changed the skyline of Manchester.
A southbound Kansas City Southern freight, led by a pair of GE ES44ACs, passes KCS EMD F7 No. 73D on display alongside the depot at Decatur, Arkansas, on May 7, 2014.
On the eve of September 30, 2021, a westbound BNSF coal train off the Montana Rail Link, passes the depot at Sandpoint, Idaho. BNSF is double tracking through here to the MRL connection at Sandpoint Junction (in the background) in conjunction with the second bridge being built at the Lake Pend Oreille crossing. It appears that the right-of-way will have to widened here, perhaps using a retaining wall to provide enough clearance between the depot and the buildings and parking lots on the right. Regardless, this scene will change a bit in the next few years.
A westbound BNSF freight passes over an inlet on Lake Pend Oreille at the marina in Sandpoint, Idaho, on July 22, 2013.
Aucazein is a village in the Ariège department of south-western France. The plan was to string a few existing long distance trails together and hike along the Pyrenean foothills from the Mediterranian to the Atlantic. I love the old world charm of French villages where finding a bakery can be one of the day's highlights. Most long distance trails in Europe offer more of a cultural than a wilderness experience. This was day 23 of our hike and we were following the GR 78 (Voie du Piémont) which is part of the Way of St. James pilgrimage trail network. Eventually all these trails are leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, where tradition has it that the remains of the saint are buried. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camino_de_Santiago#/media/File:Ways...
This image was really overexposed but somehow it reminded me of a watercolour painting so here it is!
Claire Gentile suggested this location to me on our photoshoot round London last week. We watched the clouds as we walked along the north bank of the river and luckily they were playing ball when we reached this location.
The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows:

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own — populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness — an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

Taken with great difficulty holding my mobile up against a gap in the wire of the gate, and hanging on to Tasku at the same time. I also had to clone out two cars parked in the most annoying place with their boots up.

One of the most interesting days we had on our recent Lake district trip was the drive and see where it takes us mornings. After visiting the Langdales and Blea Tarn we decided to just go where the light took us.
We ended up driving up the narrow road through the Wrynose pass pictured here, but that challenging road was just a taster for the following pass, namely the Hardknott pass, a road that is an heartstopper to drive with a 30% ascent, hairpin bends at every blink of an eye and drops that make you draw breath involuntarily....both up and down.
I'm not normally a photographer of weather, but couldn't help snapping a few shots of this rain clioud passing me by at Tenby Point.
This White-tailed Deer fawn was following the nice big eight point buck that's been hanging around in my backyard. Maybe he is the father of this little cutie.
Taken during a passing rain shower that was really intense and windy. The ferry boats full of tourists just kept coming and going.
The San Francisco Bay bridge, Eastern Span is viewed from the northern shore of Treasure Island. It looks curvaceous.
Sadly it looks like these guys have moved on to pastures new. despite several trips to the area I have not been able to locate them again. However the memories remain and hopefully they may be back.

Many thanks for all those who view comment and fave my photos. It is very much appreciated and welcome.
Autumn is slowly passing away and losing it's grip as Winter breaths on us with her cold breath, and brings forth a slight feeling of sadness and a touch of melancholy is in the air.
