Pickering Creek Trail, Chester County, PA
Note: Try to see the Cerulean Warbler, but I only heard and seen, and can't get the photo because it stayed on top of the sycamore trees most of the time.
Pickerings Triangle, the lesser photographed part of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. It actually has no NGC classification number, although NGC 6979 is sometimes used. This portion of the Cygnus loop was discovered in 1904 by Willamina Fleming, but credited to Edward Pickering, the director of her observatory. This was customary back in that time.
I tried this object last year but was not happy with the data as my timing and clear skies happen to occur during some extremely hot and smoky filled(forest fires) days. This year, the skies cooperated and was able to capture some decent data.
Pickering station, North Yorkshire Moors Railway. 30th June 2022.
The original overall roof was designed by G.T. Andrews and was installed in 1847. It was removed in the 1950s but was replaced with a replica structure in 2011. The station has been restored to its 1930s LNER appearance.

A line of cherry pickers along a San Francisco street.
Since the previous photograph I posted featured cranes (of a different sort!) I suppose that you could, from a certain perspective, regard this as part of a series. Well, these are sort of cranes, right? I encountered them along a San Francisco street a couple of years ago, in an area under extensive construction as part of the underground expansion of the City’s transit system. I can’t explain why there would be quite so many cherry pickers lined up in a row, but they certainly caught my attention.
I think this photograph my be an example of how the act of carrying a camera can change how you see. I know it changes how I see. Normally, I might give this sight no more than a moment’s notice before moving on: “Interesting. Cherry pickers parked along the road.” But with a camera in hand I start to ask visual and other questions: Who thought to segregate them by color? Do they always store them this way or did someone carefully extend them so their angles nearly matched? Am I the only person who thought they looked like gigantic anthropomorphic figures marching to the right?

Ox pickers (Oxpecker) eat ticks and can be found on most big animals

Pickering's Triangle is part of the The Veil Nebula complex or Cygnus Loop, which is a supernova remnant located in the constellation of Cygnus. Many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers, in this case NGC 6779.The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. It lies at a distance of around 2400 light years.

Pickering August 2012
The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop (radio source W78, or Sharpless 103), a large but relatively faint supernova remnant. The source supernova exploded some 5,000 to 8,000 years ago, and the remnants have since expanded to cover an area roughly 3 degrees in diameter (about 6 times the diameter, or 36 times the area, of the full moon).

Picker's head is hopefully recognizable as a jackal skull. The ears aren't technically accurate, but the bone cutlasses fit too well to leave out. I'm also fond of the web-effect for the spade tail and (slightly out of view) arrows.

"Fort Pickering Light, also known as Winter Island Light, is a lighthouse built in 1871 and discontinued by the Coast Guard in 1969. It was relit as a private aid to navigation by the City of Salem in 1983.
Winter Island Light is a constituent part of the Winter Island Historic District and Archeological District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 14, 1994." (Wikipedia)
"Winter Island Light, or the Fort Pickering Lighthouse was established in 1871 as part of the joint effort with the Derby Wharf Light Station and Hospital Point Light Station in Beverly to safely direct ships into Salem harbor regardless of the times of day they were coming in. Now primarily used as a campsite and recreational area, guests are welcome to visit the exterior of Winter Island Light, which is accessible at 50 Winter Island Road." (salem.org)

AAAHH, To pack your cases with the prospect of experiences new, returning with cases full of memories.
At the old station in Pickering, North-Yorkshire...
Most of the passengers may not realise how reliant upon volunteers the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is.
With the magnificent steam engines, beautiful rural stations and smartly uniformed staff, a visit to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is like taking a step back in time.
From the smoke and steam pouring from the engines to the cosy wood-panelled carriages and friendly conductor service, the railway is both lovingly preserved and charmingly authentic.
It's also the perfect starting point for a day out, whether you’re travelling between the rugged Yorkshire villages, hiking on the wind swept moors or spending a day by the seaside in Whitby...
Have a lovely day and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)
