Shot in jpg the colours were all hyper inflated. Tried a few different ways to get the colour balance back to where it should be - obviously still needs some more work/somebody that knows what they’re doing. Still, it’s a stunning common tree snake (dendrelaphis punctulata, blue phase) and no bad photography or editing on my part can take that away.
Toen ik gisterochtend in mijn bed lag, de fase tussen dromen en waken in, dacht ik aan de komende zomer en hoe ik er weer met mijn tentje op uit zal gaan. En ineens had ik de perfect match voor het thema van vandaag.. "perfect together".
As I lay in my bed yesterday morning, the phase between dreaming and waking, I thought about the coming summer and how I will go out with my tent again. And suddenly I had the perfect match for today's theme.. "perfect together".

'Le fait est que tu sais ce que je cherche
Collo spalle mento
Font de moi le love-héros
D'une histoire d'O'
Il petto mi sorride perverso
Salut, ma blonde, et sans rancune,
Un pour toi,
Un pour moi
Uno a tutti e due'
Just another wider take on this picture perfect scene.
After grabbing the Valley Railroad steam shot I headed down here to check another box. I'd been wanting to get a nice sunny well lit shot of Amtrak ACS64 662 in it's special 'Phase III' wrap sponsored by the Train Sim World 2 game. Thanks to a tip from a friend I knew it was leading Washington bound regional train 135. Here they are right on time wheeling west around the curve on Main 1 into BROOK interlocking at MP 103.6 on Amtrak's New Haven Line main.

In the mid-90s, the professional wrestling stable known as the New World Order was the hottest thing in pop culture at the time. The nWo, as it was known, had a saying, "When you're nWo, you're nWo 4-LIFE!" 25 years later, Amtrak has apparently taken a page out of the nWo's playbook. When Amtrak's heritage unit 184, painted in the "Phase IV" livery in 2011 in celebration of the railroad's 40th anniversary, was painted back to standard "Phase V" in early 2023, everyone thought "Phase IV" was officially done. Then, unexpectedly and from seemingly out of nowhere, in early May 2023, Amtrak released 164 as the new Phase IV heritage unit (albeit missing the 40th Anniversary niceties.) The first anyone seemingly ever knew of this unit was when it suddenly showed up in Chicago Union Station. Two days later it was leading it's maiden voyage on Train #5, the westbound California Zephyr. Here it can be seen passing through Somonauk, IL, on the return portion of this maiden voyage on the point of the Zephyr's eastbound counterpart, Train #6. In tow behind trailing locomotive 54 is a special treat, two brand new Siemens ALC-42 Chargers, 330 & 331, in Amtrak's newest "Phase 7" livery. So it would seem that, like the New World Order, when Amtrak is Phase IV, it is Phase IV-LIFE!.

#6, the eastbound California Zephyr, splits a pair of DRGW-era intermediates near Cisco, Utah behind a P42DC in Phase 7 livery leading.
For a short time, Amtrak’s California Zephyr saw 161 on rotation. This was Amtrak’s Phase I heritage unit and replaced the previous Phase I, 156, after it hit a truck and got severely damaged. Just like 156, 161 also has been retired as a few weeks ago it caught fire in Washington D.C. and was burnt to a crisp.
The eastbound Empire Builder has a matched trio of ALC-42 locomotives in the latest fresh look as it rolls into the Minnesota Commercial off the BNSF Midway Subdivision. I think this is a pretty good-looking passenger train.
'It was way past midnight
And she still couldn't fall asleep
This night the dream was leavin'
She tried so hard to keep
And with the new day's dawning
She felt it driftin' away
Not only for a cruise
Not only for a day'

I have no idea whether this is actually accurate as a chart of the phases of the moon, because I get so, so confused by directions and things, and I do not know if that is because of my dyslexia or what, but it took so long just trying to compare which cut out bit was on what side. And this was precision Oreo slicing (how is it that when you are not trying to preserve the neatness of it, they turn out perfect, but when you are trying to keep an entire disc of cream, it is impossible?)
Also, not my original idea - I think I first saw it when thinking about science activities for my lesson plan assignment.
It's a phase I'm going through.

Per the previous shot then created two flipped versions and merged them.
Today Amtrak unveiled a new phase III wrap on ACS-64 #662 sponsored by the Train Simulator video game. It's maiden voyage was on train 176 this afternoon and I happened to be in New Haven so I figured I'd grab a shot. Here we see the train doing station work before the last leg of the trip to Boston. As of now the engine should be leading 93 in the morning so happy hunting for those interested.
Auf dem gegenüberliegenden Ufer erhebt sich eine Kirche, die wir zunächst überhaupt nicht einordnen konnten wegen ihres etwas eigenartigen Turms. Wie wir später herausfinden sollten, handelt es sich um die gotische Schjlosskirche, die sich als eine der größtten Überraschungen unseres Besuchs erweisen sollte. Davor steht das Schlossbergmuseum, das stadtgesichtliche Museum Chemnitzs, eingerichtet in einem ehemaligen Kostergebäude.
On the opposite bank stands a church that we initially couldn't quite place because of its somewhat unusual tower. As we later discovered, it is the Gothic Palace Church, which turned out to be one of the biggest surprises of our visit. In front of it stands the Schlossberg Museum, Chemnitz's city museum, housed in a former monastery building.
Das bis dahin dünn besiedelte Mittelgebirgsvorland wurde seit dem 12. Jahrhundert auf Betreiben der deutschen Könige und Kaiser planmäßig erschlossen und ausgebaut. Als Stützpunkt gründete Kaiser Lothar von Süpplingenburg 1136 ein Kloster, das dem Benediktinerorden unterstellt wurde. Von diesem Kloster ging wenige Jahre später die Initiative aus, einen Fernhandelsmarkt zu gründen. Damit waren wichtige Impulse für die Anlage der späteren Stadt gegeben. Aus bescheidenen Anfängen entwickelte sich das Benediktinerkloster St. Marien zu einem der bedeutendsten Klöster in Sachsen. Es wurde ein Zentrum für Kunst, Kultur und Wissenschaft. Umfangreiche Einkünfte aus den umliegenden Dörfern sowie dem erzgebirgischen Bergbau bildeten die Grundlage für opulente Baumaßnahmen. Im späten 13. Jahrhundert entstand unter Beteiligung der Meißner Dombauhütte der Ostflügel des Kreuzgangs mit seiner prächtigen Bauplastik. Bereits 1483 wurde der heute als Schloßteich bezeichnete große Fischteich unterhalb des Klosters angelegt. Den Höhepunkt der wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Entwicklung erlebte die Anlage im späten 15. und frühen 16. Jahrhundert: Unter den Äbten Heinrich von Schleinitz und Hilarius von Rehburg kam es zu einer groß angelegten Reihe von Um- und Neubauten, die sich mit den bedeutendsten Schloss- und Kirchenbauten im Land messen konnten. Die heutige Schloßkirche, vollendet 1527, gehört zu den großen spätgotischen Hallenkirchen Sachsens. Für die Ausstattung gewann man führende Künstler wie die Wittenberger Cranach-Werkstatt oder die Bildhauer Hans Witten und Franz Maidburg. Ein europaweit einzigartiges Kunstwerk ist die so genannte „Geißelsäule“. Als eine Folge der Reformation hörte das klösterliche Leben 1541 auf. Den riesigen Besitz kassierte der Landesherr und wandelte ihn in ein herzogliches Amt um. Die Gebäude standen eine Zeit lang leer, bevor sie der Dresdner Hof als fürstliche Sommerresidenz entdeckte und repräsentativ ausbauen ließ. Der Renaissancesaal im heutigen Schloßbergmuseum mit seiner prächtigen Gestaltung lässt noch etwas vom höfischen Glanz ahnen. Allerdings ließ das Interesse schnell wieder nach. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg kam es nach 1632 zu schweren Plünderungen und Verwüstungen. Seitdem wurde die weitläufige Anlage nur noch teilweise benutzt und verfiel allmählich. Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert riss man dann große Teile ab, sodass nur noch die Kirche und zwei Flügel der anschließenden Klausurgebäude übrigblieben. Einen Teil der Kirche nutzte man als Salzlager. Die verwahrloste Kirche wurde 1866 – 1897 gründlich restauriert und erhielt einen 87 Meter hohen neugotischen Turmhelm. Bis zu seiner Beschädigung im Jahre 1945 und dem anschließenden Rückbau auf die jetzige Höhe von 48 Metern war er ein markantes Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Die übrigen Gebäude wurden 1929 – 1931 zum Museum für Stadtgeschichte – das jetzige Schloßbergmuseum – ausgebaut. In einer groß angelegten Rekonstruktionsphase wurden zwischen 1985 und 1994 der fehlende West- und Nordflügel modern ergänzt. Bis heute sind hier die wertvollen Sammlungen untergebracht, die der Verein für Chemnitzer Geschichte seit 1872 zusammengetragen hatte und die seitdem systematisch ergänzt wurden. Schloßkirche und Schloßbergmuseum bilden heute als historische und bauliche Einheit nicht nur eines der ältesten, sondern auch eines der wertvollsten Baudenkmäler der Stadt Chemnitz.

This is where the history of the city of Chemnitz began a good eight centuries ago. The previously sparsely populated foothills of the low mountain range were systematically developed and expanded from the 12th century onwards at the instigation of German kings and emperors. As a base, Emperor Lothar von Süpplingenburg founded a monastery in 1136, which was placed under the Benedictine order. A few years later, this monastery took the initiative to establish a long-distance trade market. This provided important impetus for the establishment of the later town. From humble beginnings, the Benedictine monastery of St Mary's developed into one of the most important monasteries in Saxony. It became a centre for art, culture and science. Extensive income from the neighbouring villages and the mining industry in the Ore Mountains formed the basis for opulent building projects. In the late 13th century, the east wing of the cloister with its magnificent architectural sculpture was built with the involvement of the Meissen cathedral building workshop. The large fish pond, now known as the castle pond, was created below the monastery as early as 1483. The complex experienced the peak of its economic and cultural development in the late 15th and early 16th centuries: Under the abbots Heinrich von Schleinitz and Hilarius von Rehburg, there was a large-scale series of remodelling and new buildings that could compete with the most important castle and church buildings in the country. Today's castle church, completed in 1527, is one of the great late Gothic hall churches in Saxony. Leading artists such as the Wittenberg Cranach workshop and the sculptors Hans Witten and Franz Maidburg were brought in to decorate it. The so-called "Flagellation Column" is a unique work of art in Europe. As a consequence of the Reformation, monastic life came to an end in 1541. The huge estate, which also included Rabenstein Castle, was confiscated by the sovereign and converted into a ducal office. The buildings stood empty for a while before the Dresden court discovered them as a princely summer residence and had them converted into a prestigious residence. The Renaissance hall in today's Schloßbergmuseum with its magnificent design still gives an idea of the courtly splendour. However, interest quickly waned again. After 1632, the Thirty Years' War saw heavy looting and devastation. Since then, the extensive grounds have only been partially used and gradually fell into disrepair. In the 18th and 19th centuries, large parts were demolished, leaving only the church and two wings of the adjoining cloister buildings. Part of the church was used as a salt store. The neglected church was thoroughly restored between 1866 and 1897 and was given an 87 metre high neo-Gothic spire. It was a striking landmark of the town until it was damaged in 1945 and subsequently reduced to its current height of 48 metres. The remaining buildings were converted into the Museum of City History - now the Schloßbergmuseum - between 1929 and 1931. In a large-scale reconstruction phase between 1985 and 1994, the missing west and north wings were added in a modern style. To this day, the museum houses the valuable collections that the Chemnitz History Society has been amassing since 1872 and which have been systematically added to since then. Today, the castle church and the Schloßbergmuseum form a historical and structural unit that is not only one of the oldest, but also one of the most valuable monuments in the city of Chemnitz.

Shot with a Phase One XF IQ4 150MP using a Schneider Kreuznach BR 35mm lens. I utilized the Automated Frame Averaging feature to expose for 4 minutes to smoothen the water and blur the rolling clouds.
Vapor, liquid, solid, they're all here. Another view of the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river pouring over basalt cliffs, here at Selfoss, a large u-shaped fall with numerous separate cascades. The spray from the rivulet in the foreground has deposited water on moss, and formed the icicles in the foreground. (#2)
