Hello all nice Flickr friends.
Corona are here slowly going better. Less on hospital everyday, even it´s not yet over.
So far I have managed without getting sick.
And now I have to be extra careful, because next week my eye will be operated on.
The lens should be lifted up in its proper place and sewn together. Sounds worse than it is.
My golden vibes were photographed several years ago, but this year there are also large fields of flowering Cowslip. Nature shows itself at its best,
perhaps because we are reminded, now during the pandemic, of how wonderful it is, and that we must handle carefully.

Back to what i enjoy doing best, spending some time on my favourite boat filled beach, you just never know what you are going to capture.
A proper pirate walks into a bar wearing his pirate hat, eye patch, old guns by his hip, and of course also a hook. The barmaid asks him.....
What the hell happened to you? why do you have a hook? The pirate replies, Ah well it's just one of these war stories, you know ... lost my hand in a fight.
Wow! And how did you get the eye patch?
Oh, that's because a seagull sh*t in my eye there once.
Barmaid responds, What? No one loses their eyesight like that?
Yes that is true answers the pirate.....but at that point I'd only had the hook 3 days!!!
Boom Boom!
Have a good week.
Some days it pays to go out and shoot as you never know what you'll get. CP has quickly integrated KCS power on various trains through out their system. Before the merger was approved and CN had a competing bid, I was quietly cheering CP on for my own selfish reasons as CP's roster had become stale to me after they repainted all the 60's and replaced the "good" power with ECO's. I was heading to Newport when I over heard KCS 3952 tone up the dispatcher in Hastings, so I made my way down to Blackbird siding to watch J20 roll by. Unfortunately this would be a one and done situation with solid clouds to the south.
The best breakfast I have had in Britain for many years so I thought it deserved a post. This was at a cafe near Ambergate Station between Belper and Matlock in Derbyshire.
In case you're wondering - yes I did eat it all and no I didn't eat for the rest of the day!
BRC&W class 26 no. 26032 stands at Dingwall with an unidentified southbound service to Inverness.
I would shortly be taking a train up to the most northerly extremity of the UK rail network, Thurso. Hardly the best conditions, as can be seen, and they hardly improved the further north I went with that fine, but quick to drench, Scotch rain. I would eventually take the bus from Thurso to Wick, stay overnight in a B&B, before returning down the other leg of the line from Georgemas Junction.
This has been my only ride to date along the delightful line to the Far North - but repeating it on a DMU somehow just doesn't appeal.

This cairn is one I have regularly rebuilt on each visit......this time, no need as someone has done a great job on it, even providing a seat. August weather....windy, cool, horizontal drizzle....wonderful...not.
Hebden Bridge down in the valley.
First proper trip out for a long time and I managed to get up onto the northern edge of Kinder Scout where there were the remants of the other days snowfall. Amazing view looking over Black Ashop Moor with Manchester in the far distance.

Getting a roll leaving Bothwell, Ontario is CP Rail train #503 Chicago bound following a meet. The old shed for the roadmasters inspection fairmont speeder now sits unused now that he has a hi-rail pickup. The power is C424 4212 leading Soo Line SD40-2 6620 and a former Southern SD40-2 "B" unit with painted over windows 5477 on March 19, 1994.
Canadian National SD50F 5451 led a gaggle of CN and NS motors south with train FDNS in 2002.
A mix of power made the day as a cowl unit was up front,
Good Times.

Hiking Lady Anne's Way between Skipton and Penrith. This pic taken at the top of an inhospitable fell (loved every minute of my soaking!) north of Grassington.
This has added interest to previously dull area.
Adjacent to a basketball court in Orchard Road Park Southsea, a stunning new art installation has been painted. The paintings titled 'Proper Faces' are by Dharma 77 who also has work on display in the alleyway between Palmerston Road and Tonbridge Street in Southsea. You can view much more work by Dharma 77 on his Instagram account.
Dharma 77’s mural depicts characters and archetypes all observed by the artist in Portsmouth. The colour scheme evokes the familiar changing coastal light as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west of the island, across the faces representing a diverse collection of idiosyncratic, lairy, real, colourful people who are, like this island, a microcosm of Britain yet distinctly ‘Pompey’.
Each has their own background and story as they and this historic city look towards the future.
Artist Bio:
Dharma 77 (Luke Storkey) is an artist focusing on portraiture, colour and light. Working primarily with spray paint and ink, he paints large scale public murals and produces smaller works for private collectors.

Photographs from a day spent at the Rocky Valley and part of the coastline at Tintagel. A beautiful winters day but no snow.
BNSF 9738 and 9246 pull the C-NRMALM out of St. Paul for the 75 mile trip to Alma. This was a nocturnal run across the Wayzata Sub but fortunately there was not a crew ready until 0800, so I still had a chance to get a couple shots and amazingly the clouds cleared off just as he got lights out of St. Paul.
Quan et sembla que tot és gris, diria negre, quan et sents amb el cap cot s'obre una guspira, potser només un petit llumí que el fa percebre que hi ha o hi poden haver dies de sol, de lluminositat esplendorosa.
En no poder sortir, en no poder fer fotos. en no trobar a gent pels carrers fa que en tanquis en la teva clova i així passis els dies de manera més igual que mai. Vaja no sé si som dilluns o diumenge, tampoc és important.
Ahir vaig rebre un e-mail d'un amic d'aquest món fotogràfic que em va fer molt content, és la guspira que fa que ara sigui un petit moment una mica més optimista, per això la flor mira a munt, mira al cel, el dia de la foto lluminós i blau.
Saber d'un amic, recuperant-ne la comunicació m'ajuda a sentir-me una mica millor.
