I found a small group of Sandhill Cranes practicing the "Jump Rake" and other dance displays ...

A new looking MGR rake, well loaded with West Cumbrian opencast coal and trailing a brake van passes through Whitehaven's bi directional platform 3, sometime in early 1982.
From Workington - but originating at the Maryport Coal Concentration Depot - the train is powered by an unidentified class 47 and bound for Fiddlers Ferry.

This image, taken on Sonoma County's rocky coast, shows the scene of the shoreline on a lovely day at the beach with a camera. With the setting sun just a few degrees above the horizon (out of frame), the shadows were cast long and almost parallel with the sea. Thank you for looking!
DB Cargo 66161 is seen leading a short rake of MLA and JNA wagons as it coasts down grade towards Warrington with the daily 6K27 Carlisle New Yard - Crewe Basford Hall.
Remarkably the loco is still pretty much in its original EWS colours complete with the 'Three Beasties' logos. A few signs of wear and tear on the roof give a nod to the loco's age.
This was not the intended target of the venture, indeed this was supposed to be the practice attempt before 60074 on the Knowsley bins 10 minutes later. Alas, even after an entire day of full sun, when the moment came the cloud rolled in! With the sourness of getting done I'd half forgotten about this. To be honest if it wasn't for the fact I haven't been out since and took a minute to tidy up some folders this probably would of been destined to sit on my hard drive un-processed for eternity..
A bit of a lower angle than I usually do here in an attempt to avoid having too much of the long grass up the bank in the foreground of the frame.

OK, not sure why this says Nikon, I took this on my phone. This is why we should never trust technology. AS. Artificial Stupidity.
Another picture from my 20 min stop off at grove rake mine near Rookhope. The mist in the background set the scene perfectly for photographing this site.

One of a number of Turnstones in a mixed flock of Turnstone, Dunlin and Sanderling just after low tide at St Mary's Island
A hasty recomposure required at Shore Road this morning as 6C22 turned out to be bordering on a proper train's length.
The quartet of FNAs from the previous day's Torness trip were joined behind Nos.37612 & 37611 by D.I.T. 20308.
The train has just passed what remains of the steel-works at Moss Bay, ie; not a lot.
This is one of six Ferrari 458 speciale I´ve seen during this fantastic day in Monte-Carlo.

AN INTERESTING LOOKING WATERFALL WHICH IS QUITE TALL BUT NARROW. THE WATERFALL IS FORMED OVER AN OLD GEOLOGICAL FAULT MAKING A LOVELY CASCADE.
Gbrf’s 66791 wearing Beacon Rail Blue, leads 69010 past Western Colley on the SWML on the 15th of April 2024, working the 14:05 6Y42 departmental service from Hoo Junction to Eastleigh East Yard consisting of a rake of loaded falcon - JNA’s/MLA’s.
After dodging the showers earlier in the day, the clouds finally dispersed leaving only the strong gusts of wind to contend with. Thankfully no broken pieces of pole to report!
Taken with the aid of a pole.
Dull old day on Friday.
Despite that I decided it would be worth going out to shoot the first "proper" length freight train down the coast since the back end of 2014 when Freightliner's 6M11 Hunterston - Fiddlers Ferry coal was diverted around these parts a few times.
This working was the 6Z22 Ribblehead VQ - Sellafield DRS empty box wagons.
The 22 JNA wagons themselves belong to GBRf and were collected from Ribblehead for short-term hire to DRS for a flow of capping material for vaults at the Low Level Waste Repository at Drigg.
Unfortunately when you do get a decent length train it's invariably a Shed, 66425 doing the honours.
The train is seen approaching Harrington station.

The jumping crane will kick out and toward the partner, which defines the "Jump Rake". The stationary crane is demonstrating the Wing-spread-forward-tilt (other half of the Jump-rake dance).

The crew of Mackay Sugar locos Cedars and Dulverton shunt together a loaded rake.
Mackay Sugar operates an extensive and highly specialised cane rail network, spanning 832 km across the Mackay region - from Wagoora in the north to Munbura in the south and west through the Pioneer Valley to Finch Hatton. With a fleet of 34 cane rail locomotives and approximately 6,600 cane bins, Mackay Sugar collects and transports an average of six million tonnes of sugar cane every year from around 280 cane rail sidings.

Early hay rake that would have been pulled by a tractor is put out to pasture, so to speak, to become a symbol of bygone days. This rake was photographed near Duncan BC Canada.
A hay rake may be mechanized, drawn by a tractor or draft animals, or it may be a hand tool. The earliest hay rakes were nothing more than tree branches, but wooden hand rakes with wooden teeth, similar in design to a garden rake but larger, were prevalent in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and still are used in some locations around the world.
A barge with a slanted end is known as a rake. Beyond these at a barge dock at Kenova, W.Va., are barges loaded with coal and ready for their trip down the Ohio River.
With nighttime temperatures dipping down into the mid-thirties - it is definitely time to put the garden tools away until next spring. I have had several decades of use from this old rake, and it is indestructible. Today's modern tools can't begin to compare in quality. I wish our country had the same pride in craftmanship today - as we had less than a century ago.

Another of my old wanderings took me to the back roads southwest of Longmont. This rake appears to be more lawn art than farm implement. A rambling rake no more! ...And it is not used up yet! It was not made of Chinese plastic.
Some of my captures need a load of editing, not so much here, as I am deluged with retouching in my directories. I expect to post more as I get past my immersion in most of the mass of current projects like starting on the quasi-logical Win-10 that needs another upgrade and a heap of cleanup afterward.
The Ag Museum was open to get to the McIntosh Lake Loop Trail. Hmm, I just might try it on the remaining day. I can't simply just hang around the Museum, I am already crammed with MAC snaps. I have some neighbors who do nothing more than hang around, I have places to go. Perhaps a small degree of exercise? I can only stand sitting behind the monitor for a small while.
