Numerous quad tracks can be seen running over the hill here that vanish in the morning cloud. This is rough sheep faming country near Fruid. A lovely morning in the hills.
Derby's centre for the arts, this is the corner of the building ... lots of visual arts going on, as well as the international photographic Format Festival directed by Louise Clements and supported by many significant photographers from all over the world. Still waiting for my invite :D

Iowa Interstate's eastbound CBBI rolls through the yard and past the makeshift corporate sign at 44th street in Rock Island, IL. A nice chilly day for 'fanning, but sadly, not much action, and not the leader I was hoping for.
Derby’s arts building. Housing a cinema, cafe and art galleries…also hosts the Format International Photography exhibition.

This is the second week of taking the photo I submitted to the group Fotosondag (Photo Sunday) the theme there this week was Advent. I put the post processing to this frame to make it a Sliders Sunday shot. This way one can compare the changes easily since they are side by side in my photostream. Oh and by the way it was only one candle I could come up with so I would turn it and move the camera over and then blend the four shots together.
CN train L50881-20, the local that serves the large Quad Graphics printing plant at Lomira, Wisconsin, just south of Fond du Lac, heads back north towards town after finishing up its work just after sunset.
Power for the local today is a pair of veteran CN SD40-2s, CN 5266 and 5268 built in 1975.

My daughter Meg runs a little daycare business in Cambridge, Ontario. She originally trained at Sheridan College, Oakville, to be a gerontologist. For a number of years, she worked as a recreational program developer at Sunrise Assisted Living of Mississauga. When Gavin was born, she became concerned about the costs she would incur if she went back to work: daycare costs for Gavin and Tyler, travel, insurance, etc. She was also concerned about daycare quality and daily commute time. She figured that, if she opened her own daycare, she'd be 'in' almost as much money after taxes, as she would have earned by returning to her old job. She'd also be less stressed at the end of the day.
By regulation, she is allowed to care for up to five children per day, and her waiting list is huge.
Several months back, Karen and I bought her a used quad stroller. Here it is. Try pushing this sucker uphill when it's got four kids in it.
Vista del Great Court del Trinity College a Cambridge (també n'hi ha de famosos a Oxford i a Dublin). D'aquà han sortit una bona pila de premis nobel, aixà com cientifics encara més famosos i anteriors a aquests premis, com ara Isaac Newton o Francis Bacon.

===========================================
The Great Court at Trinity College, Cambridge. This very important academic institution has had among their alumni tens of Nobel Prize winers, and even older World famous scientifics, like Isaac Newton or Francis Bacon.
I don't know if that is related to the naming of the 1st atomic test as 'Trinity', but leading names in atomic phisics like Rutherford and Bohr also were Trinity alumni.

DME 4006 leads a northbound local underneath the Iowa Interstate on its way to Le Claire and Clinton.
While passing through the Quad Cities on I-80, I saw a heads up on here referencing the train seen here rolling through Cammanche. After some quick real-life math class work in my head, I figured that it'd be hitting Le Claire about the same time that I would, and I was not wrong!
My wife dropped me off to run up the hill to the gas station, and just about that time, this great looking KCS Tier IV GEVO came around the corner towards me! This is a 760 train that runs as needed with auto racks from Cottage Grove, MN (SW of the Twin Cities) to IFG in KCMO along the old KCS mainline.
The Belle may be out of place here on the old Milwaukee Road main, but no more so than SOO or CP, and so long as it's looking good, I'll take it! Soon enough, they'll all be gone. For future reference, this was at MP 179.12 in Le Claire, and for those unaware of the geography, the Mississippi River is about 50 yards to my right.
