Setting sun on the remaining trees discloses what the powers call progress. This is clearing for a road that borders a large park in the city of Wasilla, Alaska. The clearing cuts off a number of trails where I walked the dogs and was amazed that we had such a place in a densely populated area. Soon to be a paved road with traffic zooming by and new housing developments. The price for progress in a rapidly growing area. I guess we should enjoy what we have while we can as there is no going back. Sorry to rant and thanks for your visit!
Work in progress of my new origami-tessellation.
Most of the time you start with folding the pattern in the middle of the paper.
This is the finished version.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".

Maybe wider by the minute . . . We knew when we rescued her that it was likely kittens were on the way. Holly is thriving and very happy to be safe here with us! We love her and can manage whatever comes! ❤️

This is a preliminary version of the Horsehead Nebula LRGB. So I shot this target two nights in a row, first with a red and luminance (mono brightness only) filters then the following night with green and blue filters. Celestron RASA 8 telescope (400mm focal length, f/2) on a Celestron CGEM2 EQ mount, QHY268M mono camera, Astronomik filters, PHD2 guiding, all controlled by NINA software. There are lots of problems with this shot, mostly from my cables causing ugly defects on the stars, and the cables moving between filters (and with the meridian flip). I am going to try to fix some of these problems with editing, but this is before I try.

One of my absolute favorite things about he RF&P is the timelessness of some of the scenes. While the power may have changed over the years, many of the locations have not. Doswell, Virginia is one such place, where a real deal RF&P signal mast, for now, governs this stretch of railroad. Unfortunately, like most cool things on the railroad, time marches on. Today many of us in the Old Dominion received word that CSX crews brought in its replacement, which will forever change this scene. It's tough to accept the things you don't want to, and while we all know things change, it doesn't mean we always want them to.
While most railroads are on a cost cutting spree the Reading & Northern is doing just the opposite by upgrading track & signals, buying more motive power & above all hiring more dedicated people to move the freight. Case in point, a new siding & control point (Muller) is being installed near Hamburg which will connect with an existing siding & run all the way to Port Clinton.
Work continues on the Norfolk Southern Pittsburgh Line installing Positive Train Control equipment, including new signal bridges at control points like the one here at Duncannon. Train 60N is rolling west under the new and old with the Norfolk and Western heritage unit leading a train of Russian steel slabs.
Work is still progressing west, with new equipment showing up periodically for installation and the technology is already in use on the nearby Lurgan Branch. The time of the classic Pennsylvania Railroad position light signal is rapidly winding down.
