Shot from Banzhangshan (板樟山, Banzhang Mountain), the highest mountain in urban Zhuhai at about 290m above sea level, reachable via a 2,000-step staircase. You may want to see this in XXL. Looking north-northeast (for south view with smoke from a forest fire which made me get stuck on top of the mountain click here).
The prominent road is Yingbin Avenue - separating the New Xiangzhou (left of the road) and Xiangzhou districts. New Xiangzhou also features Zhuhai's sports center with the massive stadium which in November 2024 was the scene of a vehicle ramming attack.
To the right are some of the communications and fire watch towers on top of the mountain.

Urzela, a Boeing 929 hydrofoil aka "Jetfoil" caught south of Lantau Island while I was on the way from Zhuhai to Hong Kong (China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon side).
The Zhuhai - Hong Kong ferry I was on was the biggest and fastest of the fleet, doing about 35 knots (65 km/h) at that moment, according to my GPS handset.
That hydrofoil (coming from Macau also going to Hong Kong, Macau Ferry Terminal, Sheung Wan, HK island side) was passing us doing about 45 knots (84 km/h).
This speed difference and the fact that most of the boats from Macau went to Hong Kong Island instead of Kowloon was one of the reasons I frequently took the boats from Macau instead of Zhuhai (where I actually lived at that time), because my HK office was in Central on HK Island.
Quite obviously yet another "reactivated" archive shot, this one from 2007.

Fangbang Road (方浜路) is a narrow road in Huangpu District. Parts of the street in the vicinity of Yu Yuan are developed for tourism as "Shanghai Old Street" (上海老街). These parts start behind this gate (east), at the intersection of Central Fangbang Road and Henan South Road (河南南路).
The picture was taken in 2005 and the abundance of bicycles in the picture seems to fulfill a China-stereotype. Actually the road was crowded with cars - you have to wait some time to shoot the "expected" image...

China Southern Airlines' Sikorsky S-76C++ helicopter B-7325 is arriving for a hover above runway 34 at Zhuhai Jiuzhou airport (ZGUH).
The entire set of operations took about 2 hours and consisted of frequent takeoffs, landings; hovering and taxiing (both with and without the runway and taxiway lights on) - surely appeared to be flight school or night familiarization.

JUST SOUTH of Hudson on Route 9 stand the ruins of the former Universal Atlas cement plant, which operated here from 1903 until 1977 when then it became a victim of outdated equipment and the environmentalists. Once it was one of seven portland cement plants on the Hudson between Poughkeepsie and Albany. A 1998 proposal by St. Lawrence Cement to reactivate cement production on this site sparked tremendous controversy until the company dropped its plans in 2005. Today four of the region's seven cement plants stand wholly or partially derelict.
This shot was done one day in july in the mountains of Carinthia, when it was snowing suddenly. Some hours later the snow was melted again.
Nikon FM2 with a Nikkor 50/1.8 and Fuji Velvia 50 - "SOOC"
Finally I made it, sorting out my old slides. The colours of Fuji Velvia 50 are wonderful. I wondered, how good the quality is after scanning. This is so to say a SOOC picture. After seeing so many photos taken with film nowadays, I'm playing with the thought of reactivating my old Nikon FM2 and shoot some films.

In its 160-year history, many keepers and their families have tended the light. Also known as the Crescent City Light Station, the lighthouse was operated by the U.S. Lighthouse Service until 1936 when the U.S. Coast Guard took over operation and maintenance. The light was automated in 1953, but the Coast Guard continued to maintain the Fifth Order Drumm lens until 1965 when it was decommissioned. The light was then reactivated as a private aid to navigation in 1982.
During the 1964 tsunami, the resident keepers were stranded in the lighthouse. Although there was no damage to the lighthouse itself, the trapped keepers were helpless as they watched in horror throughout the night as the series of waves wreaked havoc on the mainland and swirled around the base of the lighthouse. The keepers provided a terrifying eyewitness account of the destruction caused to Crescent City.

The USS Lexington (CV-16)
The Japanese gave her that name because they thought they had sunk her several times. Here's more information
nicknamed "The Blue Ghost", is an Essex-class aircraft carrier built during World War II for the United States Navy. Originally intended to be named Cabot, word arrived during construction that the USS Lexington (CV-2) had been lost in the Battle of the Coral Sea. She was renamed while under construction to commemorate the earlier ship.[4] She was the fifth US Navy ship to bear the name in honor of the Revolutionary War Battle of Lexington.
Lexington was commissioned in February 1943 and saw extensive service through the Pacific War. For much of her service, she acted as the flagship for Admiral Marc Mitscher, and led the Fast Carrier Task Force through their battles across the Pacific. She was the recipient of 11 battle stars and the Presidential Unit Citation. Following the war, Lexington was decommissioned, but was modernized and reactivated in the early 1950s, being reclassified as an attack carrier (CVA). Later, she was reclassified as an anti-submarine carrier (CVS). In her second career, she operated both in the Atlantic/Mediterranean and the Pacific, but spent most of her time, nearly 30 years, on the east coast as a training carrier (CVT).
Lexington was decommissioned in 1991, with an active service life longer than any other Essex-class ship. Following her decommissioning, she was donated for use as a museum ship in Corpus Christi, Texas. In 2003, Lexington was designated a National Historic Landmark. Though her surviving sister ships Yorktown, Intrepid, and Hornet carry lower hull numbers, Lexington was laid down and commissioned earlier, making Lexington the oldest remaining aircraft carrier in the world.
A trio of GP60s power Union Pacific local LPS15 across Rough Creek near Weingarten, Missouri, on the Ste. Genevieve Industrial Lead. The train is headed southwest with 20 loads from Mississippi Lime near Ste. Genevieve, Missouri.
Flood walls along the Mississippi River have cut off the traffic's normal route north from Ste. Genevieve utilizing trackage rights on BNSF's River Subdivision. When this happens, Union Pacific reactivates the western 28 miles of this industrial lead to access UP's Desoto Subdivision at Bismarck and keep Mississippi Lime from shutting down.
When the Mississippi River stays within its banks, it can be years between trains on this scenic, but hard to shoot section of UP.
Montana Rail Link SD45 No. 377 pops out the the east portal of Mullan Tunnel west of Skyline, Montana, on September 3, 2003. The unique “squirrel cage” round duct structures on both side of the portal hold ventilation fans that are used to evacuate exhaust smoke and fumes from the bore. They were installed by Northern Pacific in 1948, with twin 250-horsepower fans blowing air out the west portal. The fans were deactivated by BN in the 1970s, but MRL reactivated the right one in 1993 to help with smoke issues. Both were removed in June 2009 as part of extensive Mullan Tunnel clearance improvements.
Recently reactivated FP7 No. 600 leads five loads and E&LS's snow plow from Amasa back to Channing. The train is crossing Upper Holmes Lake between Balsam and Kelso Junction.
Eldgjá 20210717
Eldgjá is an old tectonic graben that was reactivated in a huge eruption in 934-940. The Eldgjá vents form a discontinuous 75 km long volcanic fissure extending from the Katla volcano in the west to Vatnajökull in the east. The eruption in 934-940 takes its name from a spectacular 150 m deep and 8 km long chasm called Eldgjá (fire fissure) that occupies the central part of the vent system. Part of the fissure is under the protection of the Vatnajökull National Park.
This is a site of international geological significance. Ófærufoss is a distinctive two-tiered waterfall cascading into the fissure Eldgjá.

Neowise was addicting for us and we found ourselves where the skis were predicted to be clear. We ended up at Carrizo Plains on this night and I was able to get both the setting moon and the Comet . The moon is actually just a crescent, but with the 10 second exposure it appeared fuller.
An interesting note: The Satellite WISE was launched from our very own Vandenberg AFB on 12/14/2009 for the purpose of Wide Field Infared exploration. In Sept of 2010 it ran out of the necessary cooling hydrogen for that purpose and went into hibernation. It was reactivated in Sept of 2013 to use the still viable camera to search for Near Earth Objects (NEO), thus officially being renamed to NEOWISE. It discovered the Comet which they also named NEOWISE in March of 2020.

IAIS SD38-2s 152 and 153 lead a short SIBU turn back west towards home. The section of IAIS main between Bureau Junction and Wyanet follows Bureau Creek through a really nice valley, making for some good shots.
This pair of SDs only roamed around for a few weeks last winter before they were put back into storage, supposedly due to high fuel prices. They ended up coming back out again in July to help cover for few GEVOs that were down for repairs. By late summer, another SD was reactivated for an expected uptick in traffic on their Peoria connection. Sadly this traffic never materialized and all 3 were stored again before the leaves had fallen.
I got pretty lucky to have a couple swings at these guys last year. And a huge thanks goes out to those who gave me a hand with that.

The upper terraces at Canary Springs which are part of Mammoth Hot Springs are composed of calcium carbonate. The chalky white and gray colors show where there is no current hot springs flow or terrace building. Active terraces are colored by orange, yellows and cream colors caused by thermophilic organisms. The water for the hot springs comes from precipitation in the surrounding mountains that runs down into the subsurface. The water is heated at depth. As the water rises it dissolves limestone in the subsurface beneath Mammoth and the surrounding mountains. The hot carbonate rich water comes to the surface and forms the travertine terraces. Geologists estimate that at any given time about 10% of the water in Mammoth Hot Springs is on the surface. The other 90% remains underground.
Thermal features at Mammoth hot springs are always changing. Activity moves from place to place and active terraces grow quickly. Dead trees mark areas that were once vegetated before the springs moved on to it. Some features dry up while others appear or reactivate. Even with these changes the overall activity of the entire area and the volume of water discharge remain relatively constant.
Este macho de Sympecma fusca debió emerger durante el verano pasado, ha pasado el invierno como adulto, la única especie que lo hace en Europa.
Cuando ha llegado el calorcillo se ha reactivado y ahora buscará a las hembras para reproducirse.
Sabemos que es adulto por la fecha y por la mancha azulada en la parte superior del ojo.

This male Sympecma fusca should have emerged last summer, it has overwintered as an adult, the only species to do so in Europe.
When the heat has come, it has reactivated and will now look for females to reproduce.
We know that it is an adult from the date and from the bluish spot on the upper part of the eye.

Floating maritime museum un Cesenatico/Italy
The Museum, situated in the oldest and innermost part of the Leonardo's canal , collects and represents ten typical sailing boats (restored and reactivated) of the high and middle Adriatic sea, used for fishing and marine traffic.
BA8 Maceda, Portugal
Origins & Early Service (1978–1986)
•Formed in January 1978 from the Helicopter Transport & Liaison Squadron (AL III) at Montijo’s BA6 base.
•Operated Alouette III helicopters in maritime surveillance, coastal search & rescue, and as forward air controllers during wildfire operations.
•Engaged in exercises such as “Miscaros” and “Júpiter,” deployed across Portugal, and even supported flood rescue in Santarém (1979).
•Disbanded in September 1986, its assets merged into Squadron 552.
Reactivation & Modern Role (2023–Present)
•Reactivated on 24 November 2023 at Air Base No. 8 in Ovar, now focused on wildfire suppression and air mobility, earning the nickname “Panteras”.
•Equipped with UH 60A Black Hawk helicopters (refurbished ex-US Army), outfitted for aerial firefighting via Bambi Buckets; first firefighting flight took place 12 April 2024.
•Initially six UH 60As were procured; in September 2024, this was expanded to nine helicopters with three UH 60L variants - including advanced avionics and engines - expected to arrive by 2026.
•So far, four of the initial batch have arrived, the remainder two are expected to arrive in the next few months.
En el área geográfica donde está hecha la foto, un individuo de esta especie en agosto es improbable que sea adulto porque lo que vemos en esa época son el resultado de las puestas de final de invierno y primavera anterior.
La ausencia de casquete azul en la parte superior del ojo también nos lo indican.
Enseguida nos toca estar atentos a los adultos que se reactivarán.

In the geographical area where the photo is taken, an individual of this species in August is unlikely to be an adult because what we see at that time is the result of the end of winter and previous spring sunsets.
The absence of a blue cap in the upper part of the eye also indicates this.
Right away we have to be attentive to the adults who will be reactivated.

Here you are, I was waiting for you
I was here waiting for you for a long time
so much so that I was about to leave
and instead I did well
You are my first thought that
in the morning he wakes me up
the last wish that
the night cradles me
you are the deepest reason
of every gesture of mine
the most incredible story
that I know
I know
Here you are like a hurricane of life
and you're here I do not know how you did it
take me from my sleep to shake me
and reactivate my heart
You are my first thought that
in the morning he wakes me up
the last wish that
the night cradles me
you are the deepest reason
of every gesture of mine
the most incredible story
that I know
Here you are finally here
and you're here you do not know how much I missed you
I hoped you existed but I did not imagine so much
You are my first thought that
in the morning he wakes me up
the last wish that
the night cradles me
you are the deepest reason
of every gesture of mine
the most incredible story
that I know

Tras más de nueve años sin servicio, el 15 de mayo de 2019 se ha reactivado el tráfico ferroviario entre L'Alcúdia de Crespins y Moixent. De momento solo hay una vía.
El tren (447.011) circula en sentido hacia Moixent y está ya muy próximo a la nueva Estación de Montesa.

Renfe commuter train (Line C-2) passing through MONTESA (Valencia)
After more than nine years without service, on May 15, 2019, the rail traffic between L'Alcúdia de Crespins and Moixent has been reactivated. At the moment there is only on single-track railway
The train (447.011) is running in the direction of Moixent and is very close to the new Montesa station.
In what is some of the classiest street running trackage left in the country, PVRR 7030 and 2647 take their train down Water Street past a series of old mill buildings. The train is returning from the Pan Am interchange; this spur was reactivated the beginning of this year after lying dormant for six or seven years. Holyoke, Ma
Title is a lame song reference.
Something I never expected to see again; A recently reactivated YN2 CW40-8 and CW40-9 lug 100 cars of Hagerstown local freight through Smithsburg, MD on the former Western Maryland.
It is only mid-June and in going over photos already taken this month I am overwhelmed by the volume and the task of deciding which I might upload. This happens every spring, perhaps explained by this image....a simple look at a feature of a type found throughout the woodlands. Every walk or venture out on the lake yields endless photo ops and by the time I get back, I find I have inevitably taken between 50-100 shots. I probably have many years of accumulation which I have never properly looked at because the next day adds to the volume.
This is the time of year when the green is stunning in its perfection. Even using the magnifier, which I encourage, I challenge you to wander the woods and try to spot even a touch of brown on any of the fresh and perfect growth. And with blue skies peeking through the canopy, all one can do is breathe deep and be grateful.

As an aside, I was happy to see Flickr reactivated the note function lost for no apparent reason in all the changes a few years ago. While I never abused it, it could be useful in a number of ways. For those unfamiliar with it or, like me, couldn't figure out to use it now, or don't want to use it or have it used on their images, here's the tutorial: www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157668990488722/
