Aan het eind van de dag werd Moordrecht opnieuw bezocht en opnieuw was er geluk, want de zon kwam net onder de dikke bewolking vandaan toen de fraaie DE668 van Rheincargo met de flink te vroeg rijdende beladen kolentrein 47701 uit de Amsterdamse Westhaven naar Möllen passeerde op de avond van 14 augustus 2016. Om voor mij onduidelijke redenen werd dit keer via Kijfhoek gereden en zo zien we de trein hier met op de achtergrond nog net de Gouwebrug zichtbaar op weg richting Venlo.
Elk Island National Park
There were 2 fellows coming our way and Tabby, my dog, and I going the other way with this bison in between. It took 20 minutes to coax her/him off the trail.
The slaughter of the buffalo on the plains, being the main source of food and clothing for indigenous people contributed to their plight of hunger.
There are approximately 400 bison in Elk Island park
Les bruants des plaines sont des purs migrateurs, c'est à dire que leur aire de nidification est totalement différente de leur aire d'hivernage. A l'automne, les oiseaux partent en bandes vers le Texas et le Mexique, mais des errants sont trouvés à la fois sur la côte Atlantique et sur le littoral Pacifique. Un petit oiseau rare au Québec.
The Illinois Central Gulf had quite a few paint schemes during its existence. Perhaps the most austere was the solid orange one shown here on GP10 8108.
The herd of Plains Bison that reside near Delta Junction Alaska came from Montana back in 1928. As of the last count, there are around 900 Plains Bison that roam Alaska in the wild. The biggest herd is the one near Delta Junction Alaska. There are smaller herds located in Chitna Alaska, Copper River Alaska and Farewell Alaska.
The male bison can weigh up to 2000 lbs and stand 6 feet tall while the females can weigh up to 1000 lbs and stand up to 5 feet tall.
Commonly, Bison are referred to as Buffalo. The word buffalo is derived from the French “bœuf,” a name given to bison when French fur trappers working in the US in the early 1600s saw the animals. The word bœuf came from what the French knew as true buffalo, animals living in Africa and Asia, and bison comes from the Greek word for beef animal or ox.
Almost all of my images from Tombstone come from a small number of places along an outstanding hike, however the park does have a number of other spots to see beyond the crazy and massive jagged peaks. The park goes from these vertical peaks to almost plains where from the right vantage point you can see for what seems to be ages. This year, I made sure to try at least one hike that wasn’t the well-known one.
These images were from a relatively easy hike which my friend and I did when we first arrived in Tombstone. The vantage points along this hike were really something. You could get up onto these spires and almost feel like you’re flying - it gave a completely unobstructed view of a really dynamic landscape. I couldn’t get over the changes in textures and patterns through the landscape, with some passing clouds, rain, and sunny spots really making the scene change by the minute. Neat!
Across the plains of the Serengeti sprinted dogs with wild frisbee catch in their jaws. From Saturday morning when Jasper got to run his new frisbee through it's paces. Jean and I are on vacation this week in Oregon doing some waterfall, wildlife and winery viewing. Perfect, except for the lack of Jasper :-( Sorry if I don't comment much this week
NECR 608 crosses Plains Road in Tolland, CT while throttling out of Stafford. These blue and golds are supposedly on their last breaths.

One from a very memorable (and cold!) encounter with a couple of Plains-wanderers out on the native grasslands of Northern Victoria. Absolutely stunning little birds.
Exodus 24:17 “Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in plain view of the people.”
Despite the demise of steam in the Sandauling coal fields in NW China two mines are still served by JS 2-8-0 steam locos they are Erjing and Yjing. This is JS 8089 working empties to Yjing mine from the transfer depot at Nanzhen. The train crosses the open plains of the Gobi Desert before turning left and heading into the two small mines. Even in the depth of winter these mines only sent out 1 or 2 trains a day. In the not to distant future they the mines will close but for now this is the last place on Earth to see heavily loaded steam trains working on a daily basis.
Not seen a decent sunset for ages and was lucky enough to capture this one.
Had to find a random field and then try and get some sort of composition.
