Amtrak's Phase I heritage unit bursts through the thick fog at Red Lane as the three and a half hour late Crescent diverges onto track two for the approaching station stop in Gainesville. Visibility was under a quarter mile here, as the nearby signal bridge is barely visible from the White Sulphur Road crossing.
Das sind die etwa 5 cm langen Früchte der Chinesischen Winterblüte, eines asiatischen Zierstrauchs, der seinen Namen von seiner Herkunft und kuriosen Blühtezeit hat. Das Bäumchen bzw. der Strauch ist eigentlich für nichts anderes gut, außer mit seinen kleinen Blüten im Hochwinter aus der Reihe tanzend aufzufallen, während rundum Frost und Schnee regieren. Im Juni reifen beim Exemplar im unseren Garten die hier gezeigten Scheinfrüchte, die jedoch nicht genießbar sind. Sie können bestenfalls für seine zweifelhafte Vermehrung gut sein. Eine nutzlose und daher wohl sinnlose Pflanze, und jedenfalls skurril !
These are the approximately 2 inch long fruits of the wintersweet or Japanese allspice, an Asian ornamental shrub that takes its name from its origin and curious flowering time. The little tree or shrub is not really good for anything else, except to stand out with its small flowers in mid-winter, while frost and snow reign all around. In June, the specimen in our garden ripens the pseudo-fruits shown here, but they are not edible. At best, they can be good for its dubious propagation. A useless and therefore probably pointless plant, and in any case quirky !

the farewell doesn't exist:
- if it is pronounced between two beings
who never found each other,
it is not but a worthless word
if is said between two beings who became in one
it turns out to be a pointless word
because in the real world of the spirit
there are just encounters
.. and never, farewells
--------
el adiós no existe:
- si se pronuncia entre dos seres
que nunca se encontraron,
no es mas que una palabra innecesaria
- si se dice entre dos seres que fueron uno
resulta ser una palabra sin sentido
por que en el mundo real del espiritu
solo hay encuentros
.. y nunca despedidas

OK....I finally figured out why it was the same time all night. Gee, you'd think that they would put some instructions on it.
:)
The sign, I assume, is meant to ensure social distancing, trouble is the 100m or so of narrow footpath under the railway bridge is around the corner by the blue railings and you can't see if it's clear until you've gone round the corner and started down the path. DOH!
I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the council meeting.
The classic colored pencils photo... with a twist! hahaha
I prefer other angles and compositions with the pencils but the best way to illustrate the "Pointless" idea was this way. A bit boring I know, but oh well that's it for today.... =D
pointless photo !!! but ya know HBW :P

It's pointless trying to talk with Fynn when he is focused on a task. Linus should really know that in the meantime .... :)
The weather is still grey and rainy here but there is hope that it will get slighty better later this week. I really need better weather for my mood and because I'm seriously running out of photo ops. The cats are bored as they can't go out much. The boys only had about 20 minutes in the garden with me this morning before it started to rain again.
bueno en si la imagen no tiene sentido alguno excepto de el echo de que me divertí practique y aprendí haciéndola, como te darás cuenta el fondo es una mescla de dos imagenes que tome con mi cámara, una es una nube y la otra es una foto de dos amigos que miraban con deleite una bonita mujer que pasaba por la calle con su mama supongo, a estas alturas (la imagen la realice en el 2004) no recuerdo con exactitud el motivo de poner bob esponja y johnny bravo como objetivos principales de la imagen
you probably will find pointless this image but I really got fun doing it , the background is a composite of 2 images (duh), one beeing just clouds and the other one being 2 friends of mine seeing a beautiful lady passing by with her mother, i made this picture about 3 years ago so I don't quite remember what spongebob got to do with johnny bravo here.
Similar to this, but more lighting was used for a different effect.
Also similar to this, but on a different bridge and different time of day.
I needed an excuse to play with my strobes at night.
I guess I'm easily amused.

So anyway, back to my European street photography bonanza vacation pics...
Amtrak's "Pointless Arrow" (or "Bloody Nose") Phase 1 Heritage Unit, AMTK 161, leads a P40DC (AMTK 817) on the westbound California Zephyr as the train rolls west at Plain, approaching Rainbow Cut.

Pointless! Breezy but it wasn't turning, the only thing it was generating was a nuisance in the Landscape which as you can see was stunning.
There's a tiny button with an arrow on the underbelly side of my mouse. Needing to know why, I've pressed the button several times and it appears to do nothing... If anyone has an idea what it's purpose is I'd love to know... I do sometimes wonder about pointless things.... HMM Everyone!
66761 Wensleydale Railway Association merrily clags away at the head of 6X44 Bescot Up Engineers to Toton conveying a rake of empty point carriers. Seen passing the former BR wagon shops now Nemsis Rail at Burton on Trent with its eclectic collection of former BR vehicles in varying states.
I've always loved seeing Light Painting photos with lasers in them and since you can get a cheap one on ebay for less than £10 i thought why not give it a go!
This is a test shot taken on stairs in the flat with a bit of vape to help the beams stand out. Its definitely something i'll do again and hopefully it works better outdoors with a bit of extra lighting.
The laser pen i purchased had a bit you can screw on the end to split the beam. the one i got also had a safety key feature that i thought was bit pointless(think cheap key that goes into the end of the laser) but after taping the on/off button down i could use the key to turn the laser on/off. perfect since i was mounting it on a tripod. i might get another two in different colours and tape them together ;)

All members of the public are obliged to go through several rounds of pointless PCR testing, thus increasing the chances of cross-infection. "I don't know if the virus was controlled or not, but the public was definitely controlled", some quipped.
