DRGW #478, one of the three surviving "Sport Models" (K-28s) enters the Animas River Canyon via the Rockwood High Line (MP 469.4) with a 1930s-era passenger train bound for Silverton. As the train steps out onto the 2-mile stretch of track known as "The High Line," the river itself is to the viewer's left and some 200 feet down a very steep embankment. There are places on this stretch of track where the passengers will not be able to see anything substantial at the track level below the train. Needless to say, a derailment out here would be catastrophic. For this reason, the current operator of the line, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, maintains a permanent slow order through this stretch. On the tighter curves, guard rail similar to that used on bridges is in place for additional protection. As the train works north, the river bed gradually rises and from Tacoma (MP 472) on north to Silverton, the vertical distance between the track and the water level is more like 20-30 feet.
It's been a week now and the security motion sensor floodlight still isn't fixed.
It glares across from my neighbour's house from dusk 'til dawn, intrusively bathing my bathroom. bedroom, lounge and kitchen with it's cold, incandescent light.
At least I'm saving electricity. I can read by at in the evening.
These deliciously addictive, traditional whole-wheat pastries are stretched by hand to resemble the tail of a beaver, one of Canada’s best-known national symbols. The pastries are then float cooked in high quality canola oil and served piping hot, topped with butter and a choice of delectable flavours.
History:
• The modern pastry known as a “BeaverTail” evolved from a recipe passed down within Grant Hooker’s family for at least 3 generations and is similar to a yeasted, cracked wheat baking-day treat prepared on early Canadian and American farms.
• BeaverTails were first served commercially by Pam and Grant Hooker’s family in 1978.
• The first permanent BeaverTails store was opened in Ottawa’s ByWard Market on June 2, 1980. In February 1981, the Hookers embraced a major development opportunity by serving their first BeaverTail on Ottawa’s 7.8-km Rideau Canal Skateway, the “World’s Largest Skating Rink” (Guiness Book of Records). In 1988, BeaverTails opened its first venture outside the National Capital Region at La Ronde Six Flags theme park in Montreal. BeaverTails have since spread across Canada and are moving around the world: www.beavertailsinc.com/

HISTORY UPDATED - Permanently retired.
First flown with the Airbus test registration D-AVYS, this aircraft was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation and leased to Air France as F-GRHA in Feb-99, for five years(!). It was returned to the lessor in Mar-15 and was due to be leased to Germania as D-ASTM. However the lease was cancelled and the aircraft was stored until it was leased to Iberia as EC-MFO in Apr-15. The aircraft was withdrawn from service at the end of Aug-20 and stored at Madrid, Spain due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. It was ferried to St. Athan, Wales, UK in Dec-20 and permanently retired. Updated (Dec-20)

This is a reworked image I posted some time ago. I have been re-editing photos to put on Viewbug, and it's easier for me to upload from Flickr than from my computer, so all of the reworked, resized, and higher dpi images are being uploaded here first. If they look familiar, they are! I hope you still enjoy them!

I love palms. I love playing around with them in editing programs even more! I "liquified" these on iPiccy, and added three textures for effect. A little bizarre, but I like it!
This is supposed to be one of the busiest shopping weekends for mattresses, so I might not be on much for a couple of days if it kicks in, folks. I'll do the best I can to catch up as I'm able! Hopefully, it will be a big couple of days for me, as the end of my pay period is tomorrow, and I need LOTS of sales to hit commission! Those who pray, please pray for me now! It could mean the difference of hundreds of dollars, and whether I will still be in my store next week! Thanks, and have a blessed, happy, and safe weekend!
CA: El servei de Barcelona a Sevilla per València ha sofert múltiples canvis de material en els últims anys. Des del 2010, s'han succeït cotxes Arco, S/490, Talgo VI, S/130 i ara S/121 a banda d'algun altre material esporàdic. Així doncs, des del 5 d'octubre, els S/121 han estat assignats a aquest servei de manera suposadament temporal, a l'espera que s'hi destinin S/120. A més, amb aquest canvi, s'ha oficialitzat de manera més clara el desviament del servei via Camp de Tarragona i també ha passat a circular per la línia d'alta velocitat entre Sevilla i Alcolea de Córdoba.
ES: El servicio de Barcelona a Sevilla vía Valencia ha cambiado de material varias veces en los últimos años. Desde el 2010, se han sucedido coches Arco, S/490, Talgo VI, S/130 y ahora S/121 a parte de otro material esporádicamente. Así pues, des del 5 de octubre, los S/121 están asignados a este servicio supuestamente de modo temporal, a la espera que sean sustituidos por S/120 dentro de algunos meses. Además, este cambio ha oficializado de un modo más claro el desvío del tren vía Camp de Tarragona y también ha pasado a utilizar la línea de alta velocidad entre Sevilla y Alcolea de Córdoba.
EN: The InterCity service from Barcelona to Seville via Valencia has used several types of rolling stock in the last years: Arco coaches, class 490, Talgo VI trainsets, class 130 and class 121 since the 5th of October. However, it might only be a temporal change as class S/120 trains are supposed to replace the class S/121 from this service. In addition, this service has been diverted to the high speed line between Seville and Alcolea de Córdoba reducing the journey time.
Zehn Tage auf sich gestellt
Wenn die Kritische Infrastruktur ausfällt
... von Heiko Wruck
BERICHT
Lassahn/gc. Was die sogenannte „Kritische Infrastruktur“ genau ist, weiß man, wenn sie ausfällt.
Dabei geht es nicht nur darum, ob der Pizzalieferant kommt. Die Toilettenspülung funktioniert wegen Wassermangels nicht mehr. Auch Dusche und Wasserhahn bleiben trocken. Kassen, Geldautomaten und Online-Banking – Fehlanzeige. Tanken, Heizen und die Lebensmittelversorgung fallen aus. Internetkommunikation, Smartphone, Festnetztelefone sind tot. Keine E-Mails, kein Whats App, keine SMS, kein Social Media. Vor den Häusern türmt sich der nicht abgeholte Müll. Polizei, Rettungskräfte und Behörden sind dauerhaft überbeansprucht. Krankenhäuser, Arztpraxen und Pflegeheime sind überlastet. Radio, Zeitung, Fernsehen sind nicht mehr permanent verfügbar. Und auch die Wirtschaft kommt zum Stillstand, weil Börsen, Banken und Versicherungen handlungsunfähig sind.
Für die meisten Menschen dürfte dieses Szenario ein Absturz in die Steinzeit sein. Damit genau dieses Schreckensszenario nicht in vollem Umfang wirksam wird, muss die Kritische Infratsruktur besonders geschützt werden. Das geschieht staatlicherseits. Wissenschaftler, Behören sowie staatliche/kommunale Einrichtungen gehen in Vorleistung beim präventiven Schutz von kritischen Gebäuden und Anlagen. Außerdem handelt sie in Konfliktfällen als Vor-Ort-Kräfte zur akuten Sicherung, zur Schadensbegrenzung und zum physischen Schutz Kritischer Infrastruktur. Doch damit ist es bei einer Krisenbewältigung allein nicht getan. Auch die Bevölkerung ist gut beraten, sich auf eine Krise vorzubereiten.
Wer sich auf eine Krisensituation vorbereiten möchte, kann sich an die Empfehlungen des Bundesamtes für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe halten. Die Behörde empfiehlt, Vorräte für circa zehn Tage vorzuhalten, um auf Ausfalllagen vorbereitet zu sein. Zur Vorsorge gehören:
Essen, Trinken, Gesundheit
2 Liter Flüssigkeit pro Person/ Tag
2.200 kcal pro Person und Tag
Haltbarkeit bedenken
Lagerhinweise beachten
Allergien bedenken und
Lebensmittelunverträglichkeiten
sowie Sonderbedarfe (z. B. Baby)
Haustierfutter, Einstreu, Medizin nicht vergessen
Medikamente, Verbandsmaterial
Sonderbedarfe (z. B. Inkontinenzmaterial, Verbände, Pflaster)
Bargeldreserve

The Douglas DC-8-62 was the long-range version of the DC-8-60 series. The DC-8-62H was a higher maximum take-off weight version (350,000lbs / 158,760kgs) with a greater range / payload capacity.
VIP/CIP interior configuration.
First flown in Aug-69, this aircraft was delivered to United Airlines as N8975U in Oct-69. After only 13 years in service with United it was sold to the Andalair Corporation as VR-BHM (Bermuda) in Mar-82.
The following month it was was sold to Sigair Ltd (Switzerland) and converted to a VIP/CIP 'BizJet' configuration. Sigair was renamed Brisair Ltd (Switzerland) in Jun-84 and the aircraft was re-registered VP-BHM in Jun-97 (see note below). It was permanently retired at Stockholm-Arlanda in May-11. Updated 26-May-22.
Note: The original VR- registration was the old British Colonial prefix with the VR-B** denoting Bermuda (VR-H** for instance was Hong Kong). The old Colonial registration prefixes were discontinued in 1997 when Bermuda became VP-***. The VQ-*** sequence was introduced later when aircraft leasing companies were registering a lot of aircraft for leasing worldwide.

To celebrate its 550th anniversary Magdalen College, Oxford has commissioned the Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Wallinger to create his first-ever dedicated permanent artwork.
Two years in development, the sculpture Y was unveiled on St Mary Magdalen Day 2008. William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester founded Magdalen College in 1458. It is one of the best-known colleges in the University of Oxford and is known internationally for its high academic standing.
The College has many fine buildings. The Cloisters, Chapel, Founder’s Tower and Hall were built in the Gothic style in the later part of the 15th century. The Great Tower, a pictorial symbol of Oxford, is famous for the May Day event when the College choir sings an ancient hymn at dawn. The Georgian New Buildings, which blend into the College Gardens and grounds, were completed in 1733. The buildings sit amid a hundred acres of lawns, woodlands and riverside walks, which are publicly accessible, and there is a deer herd that has been in existence for over 300 years.
Addison’s Walk, named after the great essayist of the 18th century and father of English journalism, is about a mile in length and goes by the River Cherwell around a great water meadow. Beyond the end of Addison’s Walk is a tranquil field known as Bat Willow Meadow, which is where the new commission is sited. Maps of the grounds of Magdalen College are available from the Porters’ Lodge or they can be downloaded from the Magdalen website.
Over the past twenty years Mark Wallinger has established an international reputation with major solo exhibitions in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Val-de-Marne, Frankfurt, Aarau, Basel, Milan, New York and Chicago.
His work encompasses a wide range of media, including painting, photography, sculpture, video and installation, and it takes art history, mythology, religion, politics, national identity and popular culture as its subject matter. Wallinger studied at Chelsea School of Art in 2001, and in Goldsmiths' College. He exhibited in Young British Artists II at the Saatchi Collection in 1993 and at the Royal Academy of Art's Sensation exhibition in 1997.
His Time and relative dimensions in space derived from a residency and was shown at Oxford University Museum of Natural History in 2001 and in the same year he represented Britain in the 49th Venice Biennale. The artist is best known for Ecce Homo, a life-size sculpture of Jesus Christ which inaugurated the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in 1999, and State Britain, his 2007 re-creation at Tate Britain of Brian Haw's protest display outside parliament. He was a Turner Prize nominee in 1995 and won the award in 2007, and he is one of five internationally acclaimed artists who have been commissioned to produce proposals for the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project, which will be one of the biggest artworks in the United Kingdom.

巴基斯坦－Gilgit-Baltistan地区－喀喇昆仑中央国家公园－Biafo Hispar Snow Lake徒步－Snow Lake-Hispar La－风雪前行
Balti porters travelling in roped team on the permanent snow cover of Snow Lake towards Hispar La, during Biafo Hispar Snow Lake trek, in Central Karakoram National Park, Gilgit-Baltistan region, northern Pakistan.
Snow Lake, or Lukpe Lawo, is a high-altitude glacial basin in the Karakoram mountain range, located 16,000 feet (4,877 m) above sea level, and is approximately 10 miles (16 km) wide. The basin lies at the head of the Biafo and Hispar glaciers, which spread down from the Hispar Pass in opposite directions, forming a 61 mile (100 km) river of ice that is among the world's longest continuous glacier systems outside of the polar regions.

Nothing is permanent. Everything fades. The sick young boy was rearing it's ugly head again. Weakness devouring the strength. It had granted him not merely super-human strength but the curse of a long life and no one was left. Loneliness finds her own way.

Scenes such as this always remind me of Tutankhamun's tomb as it appeared when Howard Carter looked into it for the first time. When Lord Carnarvon asked “Can you see anything?”, Carter replied with the famous words:
“Yes, wonderful things!”
