Flower Plate 5 is a macro photograph of the back of an anemone flower on a light box. It is a part of a tribute to the artists who created 1000 flower plates.
La plate, c'est une barque à fond plat, typique de la Loire, habituellement utilisée pour la pêche et pour circuler lors des crues.
The plate is a flat-bottomed boat, typical of the Loire, usually used for fishing and to circulate during floods.
This was challenging for me to edit. I regret my fabric and surface choices but did the best I could with what I used. My daughter helped me create these cute paper plates for the snail to spin, you can't tell but she drew snails on a few of them.
If you aren't familiar with the art of plate spinning, please enjoy this youTube Video - youtu.be/Zhoos1oY404.
Happy Monochrome Monday ... scene from Utah near Moab. Like being in another time there at Moab Giants ;)
Decatur and Eastern Illinois (DREI) (former-NS/ex-SOU 5020) GP38-2 #3896 leads a four-unit consist and 112-car loaded grain train south out of Oakland, Illinois. The deactivated approach signal once warned north-bound Nickel Plate crews of a crossing with the Pennsy, now long gone.
A Watco subsidiary, the DREI initiated operations in September 2018 with the purchase of the CSX (ex-B&O) Decatur Subdivision and Danville Secondary Subdivision, connecting Decatur, Illinois and Terre Haute, Indiana. In December 2019, the railroad expanded by acquiring the Eastern Illinois Railroad (EIRC), consisting of approximately 56-miles of the former Nickel Plate Cloverleaf line between Neoga and Metcalf. The two lines are connected at Metcalf, forming a “V” pointed to the north east.
The train will head south for Charleston, pick up a fifth unit, and press on for Neoga, where the railroad interchanges with Canadian National. Although the hogger hasn't turned on the headlight yet, 3896 sports a wonky set of ditch lights that flash in unison, permitting me to time this shot to their "on" cycle.

Shot for Our Daily Challenge :“Plate”
Saturday Self Challenge; White on White
Not the easiest challenge, and after various attempts, finally on settled on these two white dinner plates. For better or worse, they were in dappled light, hence the shadow in the background.
I have no idea of what the intended purpose of these guys are but they were definitely purpose built for something. Looking cool works for me.
I've had this little collection going for a few months. The plates hadn't seen the light of day, but now, they're having a wall to themselves, (I hope, Taff?!).
Amtrak has been working on maintaining or upgrading the Downeaster tracks near my house. They are replacing the railroad ties, and this is a pile of "tie plates", which go in between the rails and the ties. Who knew? I'll tell you who - Google's AI knew. It won't be long before AI knows everything and we know next to nothing. But I digress.

Westbound NS train 112 waits on the main at New Baden, IL on the Southern-West District, with Nickel Plate heritage ES44AC #8100 in the lead. In another 30 minutes, it will meet eastbound 167 then proceed to St. Louis for work at Luther yard, before heading on to Kansas City.
With a call time at Princeton, IN for late the previous night, I wasn't sure this train was going to see enough daylight at St. Louis to make it worth waiting around for. However, when I headed out at 0430 that morning, with plans to railfan Indiana, I heard the dispatcher give 112 a warrant from Shattuc (near Centralia) to New Baden for the meet. I'm glad I took a chance because 167 took its sweet time, setting this train up for some great morning shots.
Thanks go to Will R. for the updates.
