NREX SD20 2039 was smacking the BNSF diamond at Savanna with IMRL train 263 during Ultra-High Sun in 1998. IMRL SD45s 8925 and 358 were following the former Illinois Central rebuild on the way west.
And did I chase this friggin' fantastic consist across Iowa? Uh, nope.
Could not resist that rich colour under a sky like that....circular polarizer used to saturate the blue in the sky
Taken for #51 of 116 pictures in 2016 - Purple Patch
Spotted this field whilst driving on the A12 heading towards Colchester so decided to turn off and investigate. Not sure what the crop is. Think it might be alfalfa, also called lucerne used for silage. If anybody knows better please feel free to let me know.
Flickr Friday theme Patch. This is a jacket I bought at the race in 1984. Back then a photographers pit pass was a small pin. I saw one photographer that had a dozen pinned to his camera strap. I had two over the years. Couldn't find them for this picture. I had shot pictures for the Indianapolis Star and News when it was still called the Indianapolis Morning Star. the old photographer ,;-)

A professorial vibe
Elbow patches bring to mind professors and moors and corduroy. I think I like all of those things. (I’ve never been to a moor.)
Why don’t more items of clothing have elbow patches? I love how utilitarian they are. I’m the sort of person that tends to wear out elbows and knees, so elbow patches just make sense.

A mesh patch of sunflowers with lights. You can unlink the lights if you want just the sunflowers.

This view was generated from the digital terrain model and the nadir and colour channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express. It shows a bird’s-eye view of a region inside Trouvelot Crater, and features the worn-away crater wall in the background; the dark, volcanic deposits covering the crater floor; and a light-toned mound seen sitting within these deposits.
The dark material has been shaped by wind into rippling dunes known as ‘barchan’ dunes, visible as the smaller, darker marks sweeping from bottom-left to middle-right. These dunes are characteristically crescent-shaped, and created when winds blow in one direction.
The light-toned mound can be seen to the front-middle of the frame; this feature is around 20 km long and covered in ridges and grooves. It’s thought that this mound formed in the presence of water, but the exact processes involved remain a matter of debate.
[Image description: A tilted, close-up view of a rugged Martian landscape. The surface shows steep, shadowed ridges running diagonally across the scene, with soft reddish light illuminating their tops. Below the ridges, the terrain becomes darker and smoother, marked by small round craters and patches of rough, textured ground. A pale, sandy, fan‑shaped deposit sits near the lower right, contrasting with the darker surroundings. The overall impression is of a dry, eroded, and richly textured surface shaped by ancient geological forces.]

But still acceptable. This is one of the few instances where the AC4400CW was the right leader. It's been a while since I've seen a patched SP lead and with UP re-painting some of it's older locomotives it probably won't be a common sight for much longer. This trio is on CN's Leithton Subdivision heading for Global 4 in Joliet.
You might not know it by name, but Sand Patch Grade is a well-known spot to photograph trains.
This is one of my favorite slides in my collection. As a kid I thought the Chessie System logos and colors were the coolest thing, ever. This image, taken by David Leonard, perfectly frames the colors of the Chessie, and those turbo V-16's working hard on the 2% grade that is the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania.
This is a hi-res drum scan of a 35mm Kodachrome 64 slide, photographed in Mance, PA on October 28, 1978.

On a day with many more clouds than blue sky, this was the largest patch there was at Buckland Park.

Always look behind you .....on my way back to my hotel after a day wildlife watching on the island of Mull, Scotland I looked back and saw this wonderful patch of light.
When I saw the exhaust I was thinking dash 9 but the SP paint was a bit of a surprise on this UP autorack on the BNSF @ East Galesburg.
I released Patty Patch Fluffy Coat from her box on Christmas Day. WOW! She's awesome!
I was very curious about her hair. The pictures I've seen of her show a whole range of colors from magenta to orange. It turns out that it is a dark red. I was also interested to see how it is cut, because I've heard people complaining that it is uneven. Yes, it is uneven--it is cut shorter on the sides than at the back, so her curls hang in a nice curve; the effect is quite beautiful. In these pictures, her hair has been washed once with Dawn Platinum, and conditioned briefly with Downy fabric softener.
The snowy birdbath with cardinals was a Christmas gift from my daughter. I love it!

Status: Widespread summer visitor from April to September to uplands and scrubland throughout Ireland. Scarce passage in spring and autumn mainly to eastern and southern coasts.
Conservation Concern: Amber-listed in Ireland due to a decline in the breeding population. The European population is currently assessed as Secure.
Identification: The same size as Robin and Stonechat and broadly resembles the latter species. Frequently uses exposed perches like Stonechat. In all plumages has a grey-brown rump, with a broad black stripe at the base of the tail. The white base to the tail is not obvious. Adult males have a dark head with a broad white supercilium. The back is streaked brown and black. The underparts (throat and breast) are a rich orange-buff. In flight, shows two large white patches on the wing. Adult females are similar to adult male Whinchats, but have a buffy-brown head and beige supercilium. The underparts also tend top be less extensively orange. Juveniles resemble adult females, but have some dark spotting on the breast.
Similar Species: Stonechat
Call: A soft "yu-tek-tek". Sings mainly at night and so infrequently heard. A distinctive series of whistled notes and rasping sounds, intermixed with mimicked calls and songs of other bird species.
Diet: Insects and other invertebrates.
Breeding: Breeds in a wide variety of habitats, including insect-rich meadows and bracken-covered slopes in uplands. The Irish breeding population has been decling in the last few years.
Wintering: Winters in tropical Africa.
Where to See: Coronation Plantation in County Wicklow and the Shannon Callows near Banagher are good areas to see Whinchat in Ireland.
