"Persistent Winters"
This picture is based on how I felt with my photography during the cold season. It was so frustrating to get good shots when both the model and I were shivering. I thought that I could create a new mood and reveal new emotions and feelings for my pictures, but during the winter, all I wanted was to hibernate. All the things I wanted to do, I couldn't, just because it was cold. Of course, it could attribute to a lack of creativity, but personally, the cold isn't too inspiring. Yet, I attempted over and over again to create, and I'm glad I did. Each shot has taught me something, and even though the growing pains and frustration is there, I'm glad that I found a way to continue pushing on.

This is a bit dreary considering what day it is. I liked the atmosphere of it. Its what I had to work with when I was out the other day.

the malham circular walk was a wonderful introduction to the Yorkshire d.ales, especially for someone like myself from the fenlands of east anglia where the most elevated position is usually is the upstairs window .
we left malham and followed the signs that lead to Janets Foss , then moved on to Goredale Scar , unfortunately we had to settle for a veiw from the position of the rope that warned us not to proceed any further due to the danger of possible falling rocks because of the recent persistent rain. we the returned to the bridge that we had passed on the way to the scar and had a bite to eat and proceeded to take the trail (UP HILL) to the Malham cove, the limestone pavement was very slippery and so we chose to take the safer route over the top and made our way down the other side down a set of very steep steps. once at the bottom we saw the impressive site of the Cove itself. after a 5 hour trek we rerurned to the car, warmed up and set of to a vantage point to see the cove from afar , by this time the clouds had moved on enough so the sun briefly lit up the hillsides,

Though clouds were persistent for most of the day, some great afternoon sun breaks through as the Centennial, UP No. 6936, along with the IAIS Rock Island Heritage ES44AC roll through Durant on the IAIS Iowa City Sub, returning to Silvis, IL after turning the train at South Amana, IA. This is RRHMA's "Quad Cities Rocket", and today's train is the "City of Wilton", which made a stop at the town of Wilton for lunch on the westbound leg of the trip.
These are the first mainline excursions for equipment owned by RRHMA, who's based at the former Rock Island Shop Complex at Silvis, IL. In cooperation with the IAIS as they utilized their trackage, round trips were made on September 20-21, running west as the "City of Wilton" on the 20th and east as the "City of Bureau JCT" on the 21st. Tickets were sold as a fundraiser to benefit non-profit organizations such as Operation Lifesaver and Central States Steam Preservation Association. Passengers rode on either Union Pacific "Steamliner" coaches from RRHMA's fleet or open window, heavyweight coaches provided by the IAIS.
Leading the way for both days' excursions is the UP No. 6936, an EMD DDA40X built in 1971. It's the world's largest operating diesel locomotive. 47 total were built between 1969 and 1971, all exclusively for the UP. They were nicknamed "Centennials" and numbered in the 6900 class as they first arrived in May of 1969, the same month as the 100th Anniversary of UP's Golden Spike Ceremony in Utah. These massive behemoths feature two 16-645E3A prime movers in a single 98' long frame, delivering a total of 6,600 hp. They also had two separate 4-axle trucks and a total of 8 traction motors. They were also often referred to as "Big Jacks" on the UP.
The 6936 was delivered in January of 1971 and made its last run in revenue freight on May 6, 1985. Afterwards, it was set aside for use in UP's excursion fleet, and for the next quarter century, it's illustrious career included everything from excursions, inspection trips, business trains, the occasional freight and even assisting steam locomotives among other special events. It's last run was in 2015 pulling the Cheyenne Frontiers Day Train behind the E9's, though it was brought out one last time on July 12, 2016 to help the UP No. 844 as it was brought back into service.
The 6936 had been stored at the Cheyenne Roundhouse until 2022, when UP donated it and several other pieces of historical equipment to RRHMA. In 2023, it became operational again, and on the weekend of September 20-21, 2025, it made its grand return to the mainline, having not led a passenger train in a over a decade.
Railroading Heritage of Midwest America is based at the historic Rock Island Shop Complex at Silvis, IL, which was first constructed in 1903. RRHMA purchased the complex from National Railway Equipment in 2022, and its home to the Centennial as well as the UP No. 3985, the UP No.5511, ATSF No. 537 and IAIS No. 6988. Passenger cars and other rolling stock reside there as well, some still being restored. 9/20/25.
I can't imagine having this light reflected into my apartment or condo window every night; good blinds or a blackout curtain would be a must-have. I've only recently noticed it so it may be recent work lighting from the interior renovations at the SNC Lavalin building next door or light cast from the Shangri-La condo/hotel tower.
PERSISTENT PURPLE SUNSETS: How long does volcanic gas linger in the stratosphere? Sky watchers around the world are seeing for themselves. Three months after the Raikoke volcano spewed a plume of sulfurous gas into the stratosphere, sunsets are still turning purple. Taken by my Daughter Kamila in August 2019 using I phone .

Persistent thunderstorms put us in a holding pattern above Denver until the fuel ran low, so the pilot decided to divert to Grand Junction CO to top up. After which we went to Denver, where the weather had cleared up. That way, a flight that usually takes one hour ended up taking five.

Persistent rain on Sunday morning meant I went to explore a small woodland just down the road. Lots of amazing trees and the low cloud and rain made for some lovely atmospheric conditions.

Unfavourable weather conditions didn’t deter a couple of fishing enthusiasts from enjoying themselves on the surface of a turquoise lake. They launched the boat straight from their trailer into the get-away-from-it-all territory, with the efficiency of a formula one pit stop crew.
In the distance, a snowy Ben Ohau Range is barely visible behind a veil of faint but persistent winter drizzle.

Persistent reports of the Wehrmacht having found some manner of creature from another plane of existence have worried senior OSS officers for some time. Rumored to be of monstrous size and capable of emitting some manner of energy blasts, we are concerned that the Wehrmacht might be attempting to further enhance such a creature to create a formidable battlefield weapon.
8 books and the internet and I still have no idea what this really is - possibly a Cerrena unicolor or Oxiporus populinus, but who knows? It's a tough little thing though and I love the stuff hanging down from the underside. It's about 1 inch wide and this is a shot of about 20 images.
