Tara went exploring with me to a small pond nearby.
Ahem. Tara has asked me to kindly say a word about his weight problem. There is no problem. He is just fine. He is fat just like an NFL linebacker is fat. It's all muscle. Don't believe it? Just stick your hand down there to pet him and watch him rip it off! He says he can run faster, climb higher and catch mice better tha ever and he challenges any cat to challenge him. So there. Enough with the fat comments. (Now maybe he will give me my arm back. It's tough typing with only one hand!)
is they get elected ;-(

Due to a significant derailment the prior evening in Valley Falls yard the Providence and Worcester's nightly Worcester to Davisville road train never made it to its destination. The power and head 10 cars in front of the six (out of 61 total on the train) that derailed were cut was cut away and pulled up here south of the Blackstone River bridge and north of the Hunt Street crossing at about MP 5.6 on the historic original mainline. The power consists of three units GE B40-8W 4005 and B40-8 4001 bracketing EMD GP38 2006 the lead two still dressed in the classic scheme of the independent pre Genesee and Wyoming P&W.

Ele é um dos talismãs mais populares no Japão por ser símbolo de sorte e proteção.Nem sempre ele desperta simpatia. O problema é que, no imaginário popular, gato preto não traz boas vibrações.
“Eu não passo perto de gato, também quando eu vejo gato eu fico longe, principalmente quando é preto dá azar, muito azar”, diz uma senhora.
Coisas da cultura ocidental. Lá no oriente é exatamente o contrário.
“Gato, gato gosta. Gato ajuda, né !?”, diz um japonês.
Descendente de japoneses, Lídia adotou um gato preto como bicho de estimação.
“Isso é uma coisa mística do Brasil. Eu acho que as pessoas teriam que se aprofundar um pouquinho mais para ver que isso não é verdade quem disse que uma coisinha dessa dá azar. Não dá azar, ele dá é trabalho porque tem que alimentar, dar carinho”, diz Lídia Kamimura, assistente administrativo.
Os orientais gostam tanto de gatos que transformaram o bichinho em talismã. É o Manekineko, o gato de patinha levantada que não dá trabalho nenhum.
Existem várias lendas que explicam a origem do manekineko. Uma das mais antigas conta a história de um samurai salvo por um gato.
Surpreendido por uma tempestade, o guerreiro se abrigou debaixo de uma árvore. Ao ver o gato com a pata dianteira levantada, como se fosse um chamado, o samurai deixou o refúgio. Naquele mesmo momento, um raio atingiu a árvore.
Desde então, para os japoneses gato com a pata levantada é símbolo de sorte e proteção.
“É como se fosse o nosso saci-pererê, é uma coisa típica do Japão, não vai encontrar em nenhum outro lugar do oriente”, diz Roque Nishida, pesquisador oriental.
O manekineko é um amuleto obrigatório nas lojas do bairro da Liberdade. Há quem diga que a patinha levantada também serve para convidar a freguesia a entrar, mas muita gente compra o talismã para colocar em casa mesmo.
E tem um outro detalhe: nem sempre o gatinho tem a mesma pata levantada. Dizem por aqui que a direita atrai dinheiro, fortuna e a esquerda freguesia, sorte nos negócios. Na dúvida, por que não levar os dois?
Agora, bom mesmo é ganhar um de presente. Desde a inauguração da padaria, um gatinho desses, legítimo, ocupa um lugar estratégico e tem recompensado o esforço de Memi Guo.
“Acho que isso que está dando sorte pra mim e tem que lutar, tem que trabalhar, sem trabalhar sem fazer esforço não vai. Já dei alguns de presente e está dando sucesso pra todo mundo”, diz Memi Guo, dona da padaria.
Hi Guys. Today it's my 1st Flickr anniversary and I decided to celebrate with an unusual shot for me :-)
An HDR!!!! I know, it's a shame :-) Everything is skew !!!!! I will learn!!!
My 40D is at a Camera Service, some problems with the shutter button. It will back in a while...... I hope :-)
The crane on the truck hasn’t enough reach to hoist the silo on its place so it is used to assemble a frame to prevent damage to the round shape of the silo during hoisting.
Another problem is that the silo must stand upright, it is lying on its side now.
Here faced with a vintage photo, the old problem of : too many cars in Venice. Which has always gripped the splendid city of Venice.

The biggest problem with photographing in a location as beautiful as the Banff National Park... is that it is visited by so many tourists every year... that finding unique compositions is almost impossible!
Most of the iconic locations in the park are easily accessible by car and/or a short hike along established trails... but fortunately there are a few lakes that are not very well known... with faint trails that are not marked on any maps or tourist brochures. This is one of those lakes.
Please don't ask me what it's called, where it is, or how to get to it... the peaks that you can see on the left of this image should be enough of a clue to those who know the topography of the Rockies... but for now I'd like to keep this location a secret.
Have a great weekend everyone!

A few problems with this one - it doesn't bear looking at larger, so just - don't!! If I got the windows straight, the vase was crooked, and vice versa, hence the angle!! Nevertheless, the red flowers appealed and the red glass vase just looks great, so I thought I would share anyways!!
People in Newfoundland are very friendly and optimistic. This small boat's name is "It's All Good". Be like Lenny, think positive. Whatever the problem it is, It's All Good. Take care my friends!

Dean Forest Railway, Norchard Station, near Lydney, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Wednesday 22nd September 2021.
About this photograph.
This is one of the many volunteers working at Dean Forest Railway, he could be the driver or the firebox stoker, I just spotted him starting to climb up and grabbed some shots.
According to the number 75008 painted on the side of the steam loco, it is a Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST class of steam locomotive designed by Hunslet Engine Company. This very train is named Swiftsure, and was built in 1943.
It was a visiting steam loco, having visited before in 2017 and 2018, she was back at Dean Forest Railway from June 2021. At the current time of writing, she is reported to be still operational.
I was there as my best friend and I were simply at Dean Forest for a weekdays holiday, and she wanted to have more day outs rather than being stuck at the cabin, so I came up with two different day out ideas. The visit to the Dean Forest Railway was one of the ideas, and my best friend enjoyed the rides.
About the overall subject.
The Dean Forest Railway is a 4 to 5 miles long heritage railway, still running vintage steam, and classic diesel trains, as a tourist attraction in the Forest of Dean.
It started in 1799 as an idea for a horse-drawn tramway, linking the Forest of Dean to the rivers Severn and Wye, for the transportation of coal and iron materials.
Between 1800 to around the 1870s, it went through so many processes. Like building lines and branching out, changing company names, financial problems, rival companies, converting from horse-drawn tramway into steam powered railway, merging companies, change of railway gauge sizes, and so many other factors.
It became known as the Severn and Wye Railway during those years.
From around the 1870s onwards, in order to cope with financial difficulties, and to help with funding, they started fee-paying passenger services in addition to the goods carrying services. But ongoing financial problems, lack of traffic, and many other factors, continued up until around the 1940s.
After the Second World War (1939-1945), the railways in this area started to go downhill, mainly due ot declining coal industry in the area, lack of passengers, improvements in transportation elsewhere, and the nationalised of British railways.
Many stations and lines started closing down, or completely shut down, during the 1950s and 1960s.
Starting from the early 1970s onwards, a railway preservation society was formed to try to buy and save as much of the old railway, and run it as a heritage railway for tourism, and was then named as Dean Forest Railway.
At the current moment, the Dean Forest Railway is approximately between 4 to 5 miles long between Lydney and Parkend, with Norchard station as its home base, but they are hoping to extend the line to 7 miles in near future.
They run a range of mostly steam trains to 1960s diesel trains, with various carriages, and at least 5 stations.
For more details, simply Google “Dean Forest Railway” for history or for visiting.

CHEF clabudak wants us to have fun with math and geometry!
➤ Your image must have an overall abstract quality
➤ It must include at least one human body part
➤ Also at least one geometrical shape
➤ And a mathematical or geometrical diagram and/or equation
➤ NO MONOTONES
Well, of course, I was wrong! I HAVE used math quite a bit in my lifetime. All the items pictured were from Pixabay. Text from Picsart.
"A 1969 station concept. The station was to rotate on its central axis to produce artificial gravity. The majority of early space station concepts created artificial gravity one way or another in order to simulate a more natural or familiar environment for the health of the astronauts. After returning from a micro-gravity environment, astronauts find their muscles weak because they have not been using them. Long-term exposure to micro-gravity could generate long-term health problems for astronauts who do not utilize their muscles. This is why there are exercise machines on space shuttles and on the International Space Station. It was to be assembled on-orbit from spent Apollo program stages."
Obviously, the above is a relatively contemporary ‘composition’ and surprisingly okay. I wonder what the original was though. Although this isn’t, some other original printings must’ve been captioned…maybe.
The approaching ferry? capsule looks like an Apollo Command Module with a Mercury Recovery Compartment ‘appendage’. The space station actually appears to have the same spacecraft docked at both ends. In fact, the one on the right looks to be undocked. And I’m guessing the ring of ‘lights’, near the base of each are windows/portholes. If so, they’re good-sized craft.
This has long been an oft-reproduced & iconic rotating space station concept. I’ve always loved it…other than those lame motion/movement lines.
Thanks to James Vaughan’s posting (linked to below), this is a GAEC design/proposal, which helped to confirm that it’s the work of Craig Kavafes. A WIN!!! 👍👍👍
This, the following linked designs & my other linked Flickr photo below - based on the photo identification number - look to have been part of the same family/series of contractor concepts, proposals, etc., solicited/entertained by NASA ca. 1969:

In fact and in confirmation of such; in January - February 1969, NASA Administrator Thomas O. Paine oversaw the creation of a Space Station Task Force, a Space Station Steering Group, and an independent Space Station Review Group. These bodies prepared a Phase B Space Station Study Statement of Work (SOW), which NASA released to industry on 19 April 1969. So, I'm pretty sure these works are some of the responses/submittals to that SOW.
"The SOW solicited proposals to study a 12-man Space Station, the design of which would eventually serve as a building block for a 100-man Earth-orbital Space Base. The 12-man Station was to reach orbit on a Saturn V rocket in 1975 and to remain in operation for 10 years...
Grumman, North American Rockwell (NAR), and McDonnell Douglas Aerospace Company (MDAC) submitted proposals in response to the SOW."

We came back from our adventure to the coast a couple of day early. A tropical storm is potentially building in the gulf. For whatever reason, Hadley is bored and antsy, walking back and forth. An old fashioned method of occupying himself seems to be solving the problem.
I really cannot recall the last time I saw real cards in his hands but whatever works!
ODC: solving the problem
For today's Steam Sunday here's a wide panoramic take on this scene that I lke from my second visit to New England's own Steam Mecca this past holiday season. It's a bit of a tradition to meet my Dad and step mom at the historic Griswold Inn for lunch and hot buttered rums and since we hadn't done that yet this year another visit to the lower Connecticut River valley was in order. As a nice bonus the weather was cold and clear with a light dusting of snow, perfect conditions for another try at shooting some steam after being skunked by engine problems a month prior.
For five weeks before Christmas the Valley Railroad (dba Essex Steam Train and Riverboat) runs an astonishing amount of holiday trains branded as the North Pole Express. Most are steam powered and this requires all three of their steam locomotives to be under steam at once. Excepting the Strasburg Railroad I don't believe there is anywhere else in the United States where three standard gauge rod connected locomotives are regularly under steam at the same time. But here, every weekend, it is a normal occurrence as the railroad runs 13 sold out departures between 2 and 8 PM every Sat and Sun (only 9 on Tue-Fri) using four consists one of which is led by one of the road's center cab GEs.
Here's Valley Railroad 2-8-2 'Mikado' New Haven 3025 leading the 2:30 PM train to the North Pole just a few minutes out of the station putting on a grand show thru the open field near MP 4.5 on the old New Haven Valley Line north of the bridge over the Falls River.
3025 is China Railways SY class built new in 1989 by the Tangshan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Works for Pennsylvania's Knox & Kane Railroad where it spent its life until that railroad's demise following the collapse of that lines signature attraction, the Kinzua Viaduct. It was purchased by the VRR in 2008 and was rebuilt as a functional replica of a New Haven J-1 'Mikado' locomotive like the type that once plied this line in local service and re-numbered 3025, one number above the last of the original class on the NYNH&H.
