All good things come to an end! This was the view from the bow of the ship as we sailed back southward through the iInside Passage from the Arctic Circle to Bergen.
The trip was everything I had hoed it would be. The only regret was that I could have seen the last couple of spectacular Aurora displays whilst we were on land. I've got so many beautiful images of the shapes and moving curtains of the Northern Lights that I taken deck and whilst they are decent images they are not as tack sharp's the ones I took on shore.
Bohemian Waxwing - Bombycilla garrulus
The waxwings are passerine birds classified in the genus Bombycilla. They are brown and pale grey with silky plumage, a black and white eyestripe, a crest, a square-cut tail and pointed wings. Some of the wing feathers have red tips, the resemblance of which to sealing wax gives these birds their common name. According to most authorities, this is the only genus placed in the family Bombycillidae, although Phainoptila is sometimes included. There are three species, the Bohemian waxwing (B. garrulus), the Japanese waxwing (B. japonica) and the cedar waxwing (B. cedrorum).
Waxwings are not long-distance migrants, but move nomadically outside the breeding season. Waxwings mostly feed on fruit, but at times of year when fruits are unavailable they feed on sap, buds, flowers and insects. They catch insects by gleaning through foliage or in mid-air. They often nest near water, the female building a loose nest at the fork of a branch, well away from the trunk of the tree. She also incubates the eggs, the male bringing her food to the nest, and both sexes help rear the young.
They are not true long-distance migrants, but wander erratically outside the breeding season and move south from their summer range in winter. In poor berry years huge numbers can erupt well beyond their normal range, often in flocks that on occasion number in the thousands
Just caught this going by my car window the other day.

I need a Wednesday road trip. Maybe buy me some trinkets at a flea market.
Happy Window Wednesday
To me this is the more interesting side of Thompson's Flouring Mill. When I was back there windows were open and some were missing. Swallows perpetually darted through the air eating insects. The front of the building is painted nicely, but as you can see the paint on the rear is peeling. Definitely a Bates Motel vibe. Shooting in infrared light made it seem even more creepy.

An SD40T-2 and an SD40-2, both with fairly obvious heritage, bring up the rear of a Trona Railway train bound for Searles. In all, this train has six engines, 18,000 horsepower in all, to bring its train of minerals up the undulating terrain between Trona and Searles.

Former Greater AnglIa DVT 82139 on the rear of 1Z89 (Inter City) charter from London Euston to Glagow through Carlisle. No need to R/R at Glasgow.
Another ‘classic’ angle from the ‘City of Arts and Sciences’ in València, this time the rear, or is it the front, of the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia (Queen Sofia) building, which is a theatre complex used for Opera, and many other types of performances. It is a stunning design and depending from the angle you view it, looks either like an alien space craft, or a motorcycle helmet. On the evening I shot this the premiere of a new opera was to be performed, and so the building was fully illuminated.
With some cloud cover I opted for a long exposure, 30 seconds, in order to get some movement from the clouds, and also to mask out people walking in front of me. Though I had to wait some time before I could actually take the shot as there were a group of people busy taking photos of themselves, and so not moving very much; but hey ho.
