With a uniform rake of wagons with new ballast, a pair of GBRF 66's are seen working 6S48. Seen in glorious afternoon sunshine, 66737 leads 66733 with the Tyne Yard to Mossend Departmental working on the 12th February 2016. This was taken at 1430
66714 heads towards Lewisham with a rake of box wagons, just to my right is a unit just about to obliterate the shot I actually wanted, it didnt help that the freight crawled down the slope at about 2mph.
I just declared a weird and seldom seen implement, "Scrape the skies," at Ramey to be a haying rake. This is an entirely different rake design and it's easy to see that this was designed to be hauled, first behind horses or oxen and later behind a tractor, possibly steam. The Ramey rake was a push rake that was used to skid across a previously mown pasture to pile the cut hay atop its tines. The gathered hay was transported to a Beaver slide and piled on a carrier at the bottom. A second draft animal would pull on ropes attached to pulleys and the carrier which itself would ascend the slide and dump the hay onto a stack over on the back side. The Beaver slide could be crudely built from local materials. At one time they were scattered about pastures in the West.
I just drove out southwest of town and turned off the Diagonal Highway to search for more flood destruction on Oxford Road and northwest of Niwot toward their cemetery. I caught this beside the road on the way to the cemetery. I kind of like the warm afternoon light that streams over the mountains. I just hit the partly open Golden Ponds and other local sites. I got caught up in a project chasing autumn leaves falling in a breeze. This at least qualifies for the color. We've had pretty good color and pretty good breezes but I never have hit both in the perfect "fall" this year. I'd say autumn shots are about gone by now.
Strangely, we had a summer that was closer to normal, if high in humidity, but I think ignoring climate change or pumping petroleum into the atmosphere won't make rougher weather go away. That is at least until the looming petroleum wars are settled and the Koch Brothers and their political tea investments are put away in their place. Until then, CO2 levels in the atmosphere which are at an 850 million year high, will not be turned around. Actually, all anti-fracking proposals passed in Colorado. Hope perhaps. I guess most of America has learned what can happen because climate change has weakened the jet stream this winter. I expect NO odds for the spring and summer weather.
Not built for walking on the ground, for sure! She was very awkward about it. A friend found her and brought her by for a photo shoot. She wasn't too fond of my slick plastic white background, but it kept her from scurrying off too fast. After we were done, I put her on a plant outside where she immediately set up a web, hanging upside down from it.

This is a picture of a wooden handle for a rake. I thought that the lines and shapes when zoomed in looked interesting. I can kind of see a face.
Our Daily Challenge 18-24 October : Low Tech.
I have lots of rakes, and use them. I absolutely hate leaf blowers! They are energy consumers and noisy.
Some of my neighbours employ so called gardeners who blow the leaves out into the street, from whence they are blown straight back in the wind. Fancy paying someone to do that ! They could use a garden vacuum and then make a leaf mold heap to use later.
CSXT 3101 and a mate lead Q140, (Intermodal, Jacksonville, FL - Philadelphia, PA) stirring up fallen autumn leaves as they near Elk Mills, Maryland on the former B&O main to Philly.
This is an enhanced version of this garden scene. Detail adjusted with Topaz Adjust. A little dodging and burning thrown in for good measure.

Puffing Billy bringing up the rear of a rake of chaldron coal waggons, As the "Coffee Pot" heads the rake back to the pit head.
It’s full steam ahead for the second event of the Great North Festival of Transport, where we’ll have an amazing line-up of over 100 vehicles and locomotives in action and on view at the museum.
Around 90 motor vehicles such as motorcycles, cars and lorries, and more than 15 road steam vehicles are expected – an amazing spectacle for families and enthusiasts alike!
One of the highlights of this year’s fair is a visit by 15 inch gauge steam locomotive River Mite from the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in Cumbria, the very first locomotive of this gauge to visit the museum. Built in 1966, River Mite was hauled to Cumbria by Fowler road engine Providence and this very same engine will recreate that at the event – an opportunity not to be missed!
Other Great North Steam Fair highlights Samson and Steam Elephant in operation at the Waggonway; Aberdeen Gas Works locomotive Bon Accord at Rowley Station; Kerr Stuart built locomotives Diane and Roger on the narrow gauge railway and Puffing Billy making a rare working visit to the colliery railway where it joins the 1871 built Coffee Pot on a train of chaldron waggons.
Narrow gauge engine Diana will be in operation on the Narrow Gauge Railway in the Colliery Yard alongside traction engine Mary Margaret and a saw bench operating a timber logging display, opposite Pockerley tram stop. Whilst in that area you’ll be able to see a cross cutting saw bench operated by another beautiful traction engine near the boiler house. Whilst Steam Locomotive Puffing Billy will be running on the Colliery Railway, with the museum’s Coffee Pot engine also on display.
Demonstrations include two saw benches, timber logging, threshing and baling with traction engines, Friends of Beamish and, on Saturday and Sunday, visitors can see the Durham Pals and Gordon Highlanders military re-enactment groups.
