DMIR 402 and 409 hustle a northbound ID pellet train through Biwabik, MN with 116 cars to load at Minntac back on June 29, 2004. Searchlights were still over all the place on the former Missabe. It's the former Missabe as CN took over the property the month before.
Last month, CN finally took out of service the last of the searchlights on the Iron Range Sub. between Allen Jct. and Iron Junction, including these here at South Biwabik.
Both the 402 and 409 still work the former DMIR albeit in CN paint. CN has spent the time and money to put PTC on both tunnel motors so maybe they'll continue to roam northeast Minnesota for many or a few more years?
Happy Fence Friday

However, the bike is not hers, but a ‘’shared bike‘’,which is from the Bike-sharing business. She uses it to transport her belongings, angrily hostile to his surrounding and scursing angrily into the air. No one knows exactly what she had encountered.
This time of year there are so many beautiful wildflowers starting to bloom. I see new ones almost every day.
I noticed him calling and flying as I was leaving our house yesterday. He finally landed atop this tree on the edge of our property and I felt lucky to get a few shots even though the lighting wasn't perfect.
AKA yellow spotted or Argus monitor. I just called it “you beautiful beast”.
Photographed at a commercial property on the banks of the Adelaide River, NT 2024. This individual is one of many resident monitors that stalk the barramundi ponds to check on/ransack the discard bins for any dead fish.
I've only been down to the edge of Crater Lake once, but it was an unforgettable experience. This was taken with my Zero Image 2000 pinhole camera, a couple of years ago. I've forgotten the exactly month and year... these memories of Oregon are becoming so plentiful that they tend to run together.
"Jewish House" of València
This building known as "La Casa Judía" (The Jewish House) was commissioned by its owner José Salom who is thought to have been of Jewish origin. This may explain why there is a Magen David above the doorway.
It was built in 1930 by valencian architect Juan Guardiola Martínez who also designed an Indian inspired Art Deco building in his native town of Sueca (south of València City) known as "Ateneo Sueco del Socorro" and a Chinese inspired Art Deco building in Barcelona known as "La Casa China" (The Chinese House).
Unfortunately, you can only admire this building from the outside as it is private property but you just can’t help letting your imagination run wild with all the other extravagant and over the top features it must be hiding on the inside.
"Casa Judía" de València
Este edificio conocido como "La Casa Judía" fue un encargo de su propietario José Salom, quien se cree que era de origen judío. Esto puede explicar por qué hay un Magen David encima de la puerta.
Fue construido en 1930 por el arquitecto valenciano Juan Guardiola Martínez, quien también diseñó un edificio Art Déco de inspiración india en su ciudad natal de Sueca (al sur de la ciudad de València) conocido como "Ateneo Sueco del Socorro" y un edificio Art Déco de inspiración china en Barcelona conocido como "La Casa China".
Desafortunadamente, solo puede admirar este edificio desde el exterior, ya que es una propiedad privada, pero no puede evitar dejar volar su imaginación con todas las demás características extravagantes y exageradas que debe estar escondido en el interior.

At long last, made it to this infamous location on the NC500 route with that red roof - simply a matter of driving around the road far enough, something I've never done before. I would like to think that the owner of this property is having a bit of a laugh at all the tourists wanting its photograph and he has attached a ladder to the roof!
Thanks to SkyeBaggie for title inspiration!

My son has dropped his cat, Ciri, around for the night as his landlord is replacing the carpet prior to selling the property. So it could be that he will be house hunting sometime soon. But Ciri will miss him I think. She's not going outside in case she strays, I'm not used to cat sitting!:))
It's a bit drafty and the mosquitoes are bad during the summer but the view is breathtaking. There were many interesting things to photograph on this property just North of Elk Island National Park.

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.
