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!
Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.
This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.
The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.
In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.
While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.
I took this on Sept 10th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 15 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

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! ❤️
Please help others spay/neuter and assist the cat population from despair.
This art piece quite surprised and amused me after I was able to process the whole image in my head!!!! I couldn’t find the description for it, but I think it describes the human nature and its consequences very very nicely!!
Enjoy your week friends, thank you for your visit :))

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.

"Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning." -Benjamin Franklin
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.
Reavieling this now since I have some struggle with making the helmet and are very busy with studies so I don't have that much time to work on him a.t.m.
Little light penetrates into the thicket of trees, fast-growing in the low-lying swamp.

The collage elements were cut from found images, then assembled and mounted (after this snapshot was taken), portrait format, on an A4-sized sheet of watercolour paper. Collage no. 3/2018.

Two old rusty steel soda cans with their external "Church Key" opener posed with their sleek noncorrosive aluminum replacement. No Church key needed! For the Crazy Tuesday Challenge, modern vs vintage.
Happy Tuesday!
Every advancement has its price tag. And nobody rides for free.

When visiting the amazing Aros art gallery recently in the centre of Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city, I was transfixed by a resident artist creating an impressive new art work in the moment. I was not the only one captivated by this. I think the couple in the 'front row' had been there for a while also enjoying the experience. I noticed they both wore glasses. I was waiting for the split second where you could follow both their sight with the direction of their glasses firmly at the artist. And it happened. A special moment.
