Endangered!
Immature female.
Located inactive and in the shade (could have been mistaken for a rock) on the relatively busy Pinto Basin Road near the Cholla Cactus Garden, Joshua Tree National Park, California USA.
Relocated well away from the road and hopefully will reach maturity and successfully breed.
So we start the month one week in and already with frustration! After being done over for the Windsor express ECS, a quick relocation to Micheldever for 50008 was made, which although the light was far too head on, I was happy with the shot, after, 4O21 / O49 were both nothing more than Glider fuel we see this move, 66187 with a mighty load of two Mk1 coaches ( 5009 & 3119 ) as the ensemble heads through Micheldever working as 5Z44 Knottingley sdgs to Eastleigh , the mark 1s were back off to/for Mods(?)
UP GP40-2 1361 leads a local in Superior, WI. Once a regular unit on the Harvard Sub, the elimination of ATS in favor of PTC has caused it to be reassigned up here to the other end of Wisconsin.
I probably should have posted this before yesterday's offering which was taken in the afternoon. I believe I went to the park three times on that day as weather was still mild, very much unlike what we are experiencing here now with a polar vortex casting its icy air upon us.
Taken at 9:16 AM just as the sun was poking over the horizon. I could not resist yet another shot of these relocated boulders under this amazing golden hour light.
Two clicks to full view.
im almost 100 percent sure this was the last time we shot in this field; its since been fenced off. which is so totally unfair.

Excerpt from english.visitkorea.or.kr/svc/whereToGo/locIntrdn/rgnConte...:
Serving as the main gate of Injeongjeon Hall, Injeongmun Gate was established in 1405 (5th year of King Taejo’s reign during the Joseon dynasty). Later on, the gate was destroyed by multiple fires during the Imjin War (Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592), therefore current form of the establishment displays designs that are more often seen in the late 19th century's. In addition, a lot of subsidary marks and buildings are removed from the original places and relocated passing the time, however, still remains to represent prestigious ambience.
Injeongmun Gate served as the place for several coronation ceremonies of kings, prince's succession of throne, and many other national affairs celebrated by the royal members who gathered and aligned around this gate.
Oh, how this beauty toyed with me this past summer.
This S-61N operated by Heli Carrier Helicopters was in Arizona to fight the Telegraph Fire burning east of Phoenix, and it flew into Falcon Field, which was the helibase for the heavy helicopters like the Chinook and Skycrane. Being a long-line and bucket aircraft, this wound up operating from a smaller airport closer to the fire, and I had just missed it departing Falcon Field the morning after I took this shot.
On the day I had planned to travel out to the small airport this was operating from, the fire had jumped the highway and closed off the road I needed to drive on to access that airport. Canceled that trip.
My next opportunity to catch it was a few weeks later, when it had relocated to Payson to fight another fire up in that area. It left about ten minutes before I got up there, headed for Lake Havasu City.
Dammit.
Still had a good day and got some K-Max shots I was happy with.
To taunt me even further, this bird returned to Payson about 30 minutes after we left to head back to Mesa.
I was really hoping to catch this in flight, but will have to settle for statics for now.
As the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus came to a close, the railroads that would move their train, were putting some interesting motive power on the train. On April 17, 2017, the train was being moved from Worcester, MA to Manchester, NH. P&W handled the train for about 3 miles from Worcester yard up to Barbers with a pair of Dash 7's. Pan Am took over the train at Barbers and ran it up to Manchester with both Pan Am's FP9's and 3 more EMD's providing power. Here we see the P&W leg of the train heading north through Worcester. The leader, 2201, was retired about a month later. The trailing unit 2216 was relocated by G&W out to the Ohio Central Railroad.

Most spiders don't enjoy the indoor climate here very much. It is generally way to dry for them and even though they might be drawn to the warmer temperatures, the low humitidy will kill them (with some exceptions).
The common candy-striped spider (Enoplognatha ovata) like this male are definitely better off outside so when I found him on a wall inside I swiftly relocated him to the garden - and took a couple of shots of course!
The "candy stripe" part of the name is a reference to the female which is a paler colour with a pinkish-red stripe along the abdomen.

Another sample shot from the PZ16-50 kit lens. Light was extremely blah here, so I went with the flow and desaturated further by just a wee bit. Two clicks to full view.
I was thrilled to find these boulders in their new location. During late summer I had spoken with a couple of town employees that were doing some bobcat work around the monument boulder area. I mentioned to them how the Hill was the central focal point of the entire park and how the boulders that were stored on the hill looked poor with the bright orange snow fence surrounding them. The fence was placed there so that tobogganers would not crash into the boulders.
Well it took a while, but there is no more bright orange snow fence ruining shots of the hill. I like to think that I had something to do with the relocation. And their new location close to the edge of the pond is great with the hill in the background. No doubt I will be shooting these more in the future, in fact I should have a post coming up within a week.

Bronze statue of a grandmother and granddaughter called "Sharing" It was commissioned by U.P. For Art and used to sit at the University Place City Hall complex at Windmill Village....it has been relocated to a park futher south and to be honest, it looks very out of place there. This was the best shot I could come up with at the newer location. Perhaps the "powers that be" will rethink this blunder and find a better home for this lovely work of art.
Taken in University Place, Washington, USA.
We've relocated from Greece to the UK so the last few months have been really busy. We're settled now though so things should get back to normal . . .(whatever that is :-)
This is a Geum and the textures I used are by French Kiss Textures
BNSF 5156 heads south on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. (track mark west) with the final CitiRail power move, the D-ALNSTL3 27T, here at Mp. 28 at Machens, MO. The units are headed for the Prairie Lines yard for storage in St. Louis, MO. near the Anheuser Busch brewery.
I can't for the life of me think of a valid reason for this image-it just grew into being. The original photo was taken at Mauthie Lake State Park in the Kettles where I did take a shot of a distance eagle's nest. Photolealeap was used to create this image.
From our relocation trip across the US... again :) This time we took i40. waaaay better. This was from a quick stop (15mins!) at the Meteor Crater near Flagstaff Arizona. Still experimenting with some of the stitching. This one could use a bit more work, have a couple others to work with. More versions to follow.

Mundijong Railway Station on 14 February 1987. Photo: Phil Melling. Mundijong Railway Station has been relocated to the town side of the railway away from the tracks.
We followed a caravan through the cattle drive. You can see how orderly they generally were. Barraba, New South Wales.
The Charters Towers Metropole Hotel was purchased and relocated to the current site in Julia Creek, where it was renamed the Julia Creek Hotel.
This first Julia Creek Hotel burnt down and a second hotel was purchased from Charters Towers as a replacement.
This is the hotel that stands here today, recently renovated by a new Licensee and reopened after being closed for approximately two years.
History of Julia Creek:
In 1859, Queensland became a separate colony from New South Wales. At the time there were approximately 30 000 people in the colony, most of those were in the southeast corner, with the most northern settlement being Rockhampton. The newly created Queensland Government began opening up the land for settlement, sparking what has been identified as Australia’s most intense land rush.
By 1861 two explorers had come through to the Julia Creek region. McKinlay came up the Diamantina River in search of Burke and Wills, travelling to the east of Julia Creek, and Landsborough had travelled along the Flinders River, reporting on good pastoral land. By 1862 Donald and Duncan McIntyre had taken up Dalgonally Station near Julia Creek and brought their first herd of cattle up from Coopers Creek.
Water for stock was an issue until the first artesian bore was put down in 1884. After this, the land became more sustainable for stocking cattle, which were then taken to market south to Adelaide. Burketown was then established as a port.
Two major economic activities opened up North Queensland; pastoralism and mining. Copper was discovered near Cloncurry by Ernest Henry in 1867, with mining being underway in the following decade. While the pastoralists had been lobbying for a railway for many years, the mineral discovery was really the catalyst for the railway from Townsville. It had commenced in the 1870’s to Charters Towers, then continued onto Hughenden reaching there by 1887. The next section wasn’t approved until 1900, actually reaching Richmond in 1904. Then it was onto Julia Creek with the first official train arriving on the 29th of February 1908. The railway then continued to Cloncurry, which became the terminus for many years.
Julia Creek didn’t exist prior to the railway but was established as a maintenance town for the railway line. Fettlers were settled in little cottages (some of which are located at the Visitor Information Centre) within working distance to the tracks, and steam trains required a considerable amount of water. So a bore had to be put down in 1907 and more men to operate and maintain the water supply as well as the railway line and facilities.
History hasn’t given a clear reason as to why the location of Julia Creek was chosen. Logically, the railway was surveyed in a straight line from Richmond and it would be cheaper to establish a new settlement on that line, rather than to veer. Although the land looks flat, there are minor rises and Julia Creek township is settled on a rise in relation to the creek. It’s likely that the surveyors selected a slightly higher site to avoid wet season flooding. The town was surveyed in July 1907 and renamed Julia Creek in August that same year. (It’s alleged that the town was named Julia after the McKinlay brothers niece). The town plan was a simple rectangular grid, with the main street adjacent to and facing the railway line.
Goldring Street, next to the railway, was originally the main street where all the pubs and shops were located. By 1920, there were four food shops, a chemist, an accountant, a solicitor, a tailor, three garages, three cafes, two hotels, two market gardeners, a blacksmith, and a one-room school. The railway yards include a large goods shed (still standing) railway station, a station masters house, and a large water tank for locomotives. Community activity flourished in the 1920’s - - the first picture theatre was built, the Country Women’s Association, Masonic Lodge, Boy Scouts, Anglican and Catholic Churches and the wool scour was relocated to Julia Creek from Toorak Station in 1924. Although the 1920’s provided growth for the town, health services were provided by only one bush nurse and a rail ambulance that could be brought into quick service. However, in 1928, the Royal Flying Doctor Service commenced at Cloncurry with the first call out being to Julia Creek.
By 1930, changes were beginning to occur, with the main street changing to Burke Street. The 1907 town survey was amended with an area facing Burke Street being surrendered to the Crown. There had been no government reserve identified in the original survey, which was relatively common in Queensland, as many proposed towns had not flourished and there seemed to be an unwritten policy of waiting to see the level of development prior to utilising government resources. The McKinlay Shire Council moved to Julia Creek from McKinlay and the post office was relocated to Burke Street. A steady flow of businesses were established after this.
The 1930’s saw a number of important events. The newly relocated McKinlay Shire Council was able to give better attention to improving the major town. One major important task was to bitumen the town streets, not only to relieve the dust issue but to alleviate the muddy mess that occurred each time it rained. After this came the flower beds and beautification of the main street of town. The school also expanded, the brand new hospital was opened with improved health services, which meant women no longer had to travel to Hughenden to have their babies.
World War was soon upon Australia and Julia Creek was not excluded. Over 100 young men from the shire enlisted to fight for our country. Rail traffic increased dramatically through Julia Creek with trains taking troops, equipment, supplies, and aviation fuel to Cloncurry, where they would then continue onto Darwin by road. Troop trains would stop in Julia Creek and soldiers would purchase sweets and bottles of cordial. The war ended and by the late 1940’s towns were recovering from war time shortages, but the recovery was short lived as a severe drought hit the region in the early 1950’s.
1952 brought the most significant event - - the completion of a power house and the switching on of the town electricity. As people could afford it, homes now had access to modern day comforts such as ceiling fans and refrigeration. A modern swimming pool was also constructed and locals happily abandoned the former ‘mud pool’.
Sewerage was installed in the town in 1960, a fire brigade was established in 1962, a new doctor’s surgery opened in 1966, continuing operation until the Medical Centre opened in 2004. A new brick, air conditioned hospital was opened in 1972.
Julia Creek had many ups and downs with the 1974 flood and bushfires in 1976 with 27 fires burning between Julia Creek and McKinlay. The High School later closed down causing many families to move away, followed by the closure of the Convent School, then the banks. However, with a current population of 511 people, Julia Creek continues to be a vibrant community where their festivals are enjoyed by people far and wide.

Covered bridge built in 1870. In 1970 the bridge was cut in half and this piece relocated to a park.
okay, a LOT has happened really fast, and i've gotten some questions asking what's happened to... well, just about everything.
so this is the present: the guy on the left is david. a lot of you probably recognize the guy on the right- that would be tank. i've relocated to the west coast. and i live with them.
everything was done on a leap of faith on all our parts, and it's been one of the most rewarding leaps i've ever made.
My cousin, knowing that I enjoy photography called to inform me that his family was going to be "running cows." A term they use when relocating a herd from one field to another. This herd was being moved from their winter pastures - Snake River Bottoms to summer open range.
While relocating from Peoria to Oelwein during high sun, a quick exit off I-280 was necessary when Soo Line GP38-2 4448 was spied sitting at the west end of Nahant Yard.
The crew was heading home and the sun was high, but a Soo Line in 2017 was worth a pixel or two.
After photographing six trains from the overlook along the river at Scenic Hudson Park I relocated into the village center for one last simple photo from the inbound platform.
Metro North train 8758 accelerates away from it's station stop on track 4. This is a 7:40 PM out of Croton-Harmon making a 1 hr 3 minute scheduled trip to Grand Central Terminal. The train consists of seven cars (various models of Bombardier 'Shoreliner' coaches of which MN operates 133 in east of Hudson service) shoved by GE P32AC-DM 231 (blt. Sep. 2001), one of four (out of 31 total on the roster) owned by CDOT and dressed in classic 1950s style New Haven Railroad McGinnis era colors.
This is about MP 22.7 as measured from Grand Central Terminl on modern day Metro North's Hudson Line, the former New York Central Railroad water level route which traces its history here back to 1849. In 1913 the NYC installed third rail electrification through here as far as Harmon, 33 miles north, a system that remains to this day.
Across the four mains on the outbound side stands the historic depot built by the NYC in 1889. Designed by H.H. Richardson's successor firm of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge in the Railroad Romanasque style it is a contributing property part of the Irvington Historic District which received federal designation in 2014. Closed as a ticket office in 1957 it has served in assorted non railroad uses over the ensuing decades and today is a lovely little café and coffee shop.
The brick building behind it dates from 1880 and was the home of Lord and Burnham, the largest greenhouse manufacturer in the country. And beyond it is the large neoclassical Trent building designed by Stanford White and built in 1896 as the headquarters of Cosmopolitan Magazine which was published here until 1910 when William Randolph Hearst moved it into New York City.
Today this route is astonishingly busy with over 150 MNCW trains passing this point on weekdays with electric MUs operating as far as Croton-Harmon and diesel powered trains to Poughkeepsie, 73 miles north. In addition another 22 Amtrak trains pass to and from points as far flung as Burlington, VT, Montreal and Toronto in Canada, and Chicago. Lastly rounding out the parade is a nightly CSXT road freight between Selkirk Yard near Albany and Oak Point Yard in the Bronx.
