Possibly the first train up this line for nearly a month 37218 and 37425 operate 3J50 09:59 York Thrall Europa to Selby via Stocksbridge and Barrow Hill. See climbing up the old Woodhead railway line from Neepsend to Hillsborough (Wadsley Bridge) just behind Wardsend Cemetery. The cemetery is something else holding nearly 30,000 graves most dating back to the early 20th century and with woodland now spreading amongst the graves as it is doing on the old track bed either side of the remaining single track.
Quite possibly one of the most underrated (and also quite fascinating) pieces of railroading in Central West Virginia is the former B&O Cowen Subdivision. Running between Cowen, WV and Grafton, WV.
It's ran by the Appalachian & Ohio Railroad today, with a quintet of GATX/GMTX GP38-2's and run through CSX power.
Sadly in this 2012 photo the ridiculously cool SD90MAC's were living out their final few years in service on the railroad. It was found to be cheaper to double and sometimes triple the grade at Frenchton than rather use the 90MAC's to shove the trains over the grade. I never got to see this railroad in action except for a late night visit in 2014 on my way to Spencer, NC - when we saw this same pair of 90's shuffling cars around the wye area. No pictures, sadly.
The engines are tied down in the Burnsville helper pocket, waiting for the next train to shove over the grades.
In 2016, traffic is varied by the demands of how much coal is needed where. If you're ever able to shoot this piece of railroad - DO IT.
The track in the foreground goes to the Elk River Railroad interchange at Gilmer Station, where even more sporadic movements occur. The track curving off to the right is the Cowen Sub main taking you on towards Cowen.
Mr. Scott Lothes has some absolutely incredible stuff on this fascinating piece of mountain railroading in his photosteam. I highly recommend that anyone reading this takes the time to check out. You will not be disappointed.
possibly P. chrysocephala, but they're not the easiest to ID!! Never have I seen as many as I have this year!! They're everywhere! More often than not, they ping off into to oblivion (they are flea beetles after all!) before I can get a shot, but managed a few today!
Upton Magna - Shropshire
This little cutie showed up on our patio this afternoon, after I threw out some tortilla chip crumbs that I thought the sparrow would eat. Instead, this hungry and not in such good shape, chipmunk began gathering up the crumbs and making trip after trip to somewhere around the corner of our house, until every last crumb was gone.
Possibly one of the best photography days of my life, so far. I took many, many shots of a couple of female Crossbills leading up to this set. At this point I was directly under her as she enjoyed the pine cones and kept a watchful eye on me. These are exported directly from Lightroom with little or no edits at all, in fact, I had to back off the lens to keep her in shot. A wonderful experience that she allowed me to share
Possibly Angle Shades moth. St. Cyrus NNR. A very windy day, but sheltered by the cliffs at the reserve. Ridiculously excited to see this today. Yay, bring on macro season!
Possibly my favourite image from my recent trip to Skye, Also an image that I have had reservations about. After chatting on various WhatsApp groups I have decided to leave the river in the image to give a bit of balance to the house, but I a still not sure
Pollet, Fanad Head, County Donegal, Ireland
The Great Pollet Arch is a striking example of the sheer power of the Atlantic Ocean as it constantly carves the cliffs along the Irish coast for millions of years, as a result it has created this enormous, unique and famous rock formation “The Great Pollet Arch”
There are only around 3 such arches in Ireland and this is the largest and most impressive of them all. It is very hard to explain how magnificent this national treasure is until you are actually standing right in front of it in true awe & wonder at its natural beauty

Possibly the cutest Black Bear cub I've ever seen, she followed mom along the beach, never strayed too far, and obeyed orders (eg. scooted up a tree on command). This is a dangerous age for bears and she needs her protective mother until she's big and strong enough to survive on her own.
This shot is almost identical to my friend Melanie's - not surprising, as we were sitting side by side and the little one held her pose for a few seconds while our shutters whirred away in burst mode. There are slight differences in background, angle of view, and the amount of water dripping from those front claws; also different camera bodies and processing, so slightly different colour balance. But essentially we walked away with very similar images. And we're both happy.
More bears to come over the next few days. I'm looking out my window this morning at a little prairie village draped with fresh snow, the sky a grey smudge. Three months ago I was sitting on barnacle-encrusted beach boulders, fanned by cool sea breezes, watching for bears and jumping salmon, entertained by great blue herons and flocks of shorebirds and eagles wheeling through the blue sky above. Being fully alive is about living fully in the present, but it's possible to visit the recent and distant past without losing track of one's life trajectory. The other day I posted a shot of my brother from 1965. Sometimes it feels to me like everything is happening at once and life is more a mosaic than a linear progression. Comforting thought.

Possibly you have a good spouse, workmate etc for this project. Customize her/his keyboard with an embedded message.
(Hope you have an extra scrap keyboard, very seldom you can find one with two 'o's, for example. Or be smart with your message selection!)
Possibly Hull's most photographed street. Photographed again.....but not by me with this lens before.
Quite possibly the prettiest (and coldest) evening I've had at the Oregon Coast with a camera in my hand to catch it. Look at those spidery clouds! I love it when the sky is mirrored in the sand. It makes me feel like I'm walking through a sunset.

Possibly my favourite orb shot, single exposure no post production although I did add a watermark, This is light painting.
Possibly a Lacanora xylophila (wood lover)
From the variation in the apothecia, it looks like there could be two species??? Likely just natural variation; see Richard Droker's note below.
On the beach at Dugualla State Park.
Works large.
After a morning of indecision, I took the bus to Morecambe Bay. What a glorious afternoon it was.
Morecambe Bay has been described as a pit-stop for migrating birds that come from the Arctic to over-winter and feed on the millions of creatures that live in the sand, marshes, and salt marshes.
Try hitting 'L' and wander about the image - on the extreme left is a 'detectorist' who risks the quicksands in this area (a sheep was rescued near here only yesterday). Looking across the bay you can see Grange-over-Sands, Barrow-in Furness, and possibly a bit of Ulverston.
In the distance you can see the fells of Cumbria/Lake District.

I thought that my little secret was safe…After all, who could possibly find out about my little misadventure this early morning….It all started as I forgot to put my clocks forward to British summer time, making me late riser this morning…….…..Having gulped a cup of tea down, and picked up my guitar and raced to the garage……And slid down the side of the car in my tight garage having placed the guitar in a safe out of harms way place first……It was at that time my phone rang with someone asking where I was as I was late……Thus putting me under more pressure to make up time, as I struggled into the car and fired up the engine slammed it into reverse and reversed straight into my safe place…..And despite my revving engine You could plainly hear the strings pinging as they snapped as the guitar was crushed……I quickly gathered up the remains and put them in the boot of the car and rushed off to my meeting, in the secure knowledge that things could have been worse…For considering that all of the CraZyGang were still very much into British winter time and had no intentions of moving into British summer time this cold morning thank goodness, and would not have been awake to see or hear a thing…..Meaning…… I would not have to face any awkward happy questions about the demise of the guitar when I got home……Or so I had thought….For it would seem that Millie has a story to tell!!!!...And tell it she did…...But at least I can console myself in the knowledge that at least Maysie-May and Halo look suitably unhappy to think that they might never hear me play again !!!!!!!!! I mean just look that face of Halo to prove my point...!!!!!!
Ganges river dolphin - Platanista gangetica, photographed at the downstream side of Koshi Barrage, Nepal. The area of bubbles on the service infromt and above the Dolphin are the footstep of a younger Dolphin, possibly the calf of this one.
Possibly one of the most poignant moments* I've ever captured.
This photo makes me feel such a conflict. On one hand, I know that falcons have to eat. But that dowitcher looks so helpless. It did dive.. but the water was too shallow.
Pic number 6 of 8.

Possibly the nicest McDonald’s restaurant I have ever seen - at least judging by the exterior! The red walls and frescoes of the Rathaus, located across the Marktplatz from these building are reflected in the windows.
Happy Window Wednesday!
possibly a Geoglossum fallax ( Schuppige Erdzunge ) or close relative in our garden in Poole. Approx 3 cm tall
Possibly a Variegated ladybug (Hippodamia variegata) headed straight for some aphids (Aphis nerii) on some swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) in the raingarden. Yard macro. (Very unsure of species ID for this individual. Confirm or infirm ID right here, if you can...)
Panasonic G9 with Laowa 50mm F/2.8 2X macro and diffused Nikon SB-20 flash.

Possibly the first capture of a regeared Gbrf Class 66 to the Bolton area. 66693 formerly numbered 66793, now in British Rail Construction livery in charge of the 6J84 1237 Horton In Rib Quarry Gbrf to Brindle Heath Eurofreight, Moses Gate January 2026.
Possibly my only shot of the Clay Hoods? If I'd known they were coming I'd have tried for a better spot.
47294 runs into Newton Abbot station with OOV's on the 9th July 1985.
The milepost is 214 & 1/4, which is the mileage from London Paddington via Bristol.
