Happy to find a pair of migrating scaup at our park today, swimming in a pool of water from the melting ice.
Sorry for so many similar photos. It's been years since I have seen any of these these there. Some not the best quality but saving anyway. Will replace if I get better ones should they stay longer.
Train: EN 35238 (Wien Hbf/München Hbf - ) Villa Opicina - Venezia S. Lucia
Locomotive: 1216 008 + 024
Location: Gaggio
After one month of closure, trains will run again between Udine and Tarvisio starting from tomorrow. While day services were replaced by buses, the Nightjet service between Vienna and Venice was diverted via Ljubljana and Villa Opicina.
So diverted train 35238 ran via Portogruaro during this time and passed the small town of Gaggio.
The original sky looked a little bit boring due to weather conditions. But the way to the horizon is something psychodelic. Several directions with no clear end, but straight ahead is a nice view. The replaced sky and WW lines make the scene look a little bit more "birdy" or unstable.

One of the most famous monuments in Warsaw, standing on The Old Town Marker Square :)
The Warsaw Mermaid - statue on Old Town Market square in Warsaw. It was the first monument of the Warsaw coat of arms and had an influence on the later images of the Warsaw Mermaid and popularized her figure among the inhabitants and visitors of the city. The mermaid appears in several Warsaw legends. All of them assigned her the role of the patron and protector of the city. The sculpture in Warsaw's Old Town Square was designed by Varsovian sculptor Konstanty Hegel. Originally (1855–1928) and now (since 2000) it stands in the marketplace. At other times, it was moved to different places in Warsaw. In 2008, the original sculpture made of bronzed zinc was taken from the market for maintenance work. The sculpture was in a very poor condition due to mechanical damage and numerous acts of vandalism. The repaired original was transferred to the Museum of Warsaw, and replaced with a copy of made by the Jacek Guzera foundry in Dąbrowie near Kielce.

Jeszcze jedna fotka ze Starówki, tym razem z syrenką :)
Pomnik Syreny – monument znajdujący się na Rynku Starego Miasta w Warszawie. Był on pierwszym pomnikiem warszawskiego herbu i miał wpływ na późniejsze wizerunki warszawskiej Syreny oraz upowszechnił jej postać wśród mieszkańców i osób odwiedzających miasto. Syrenka jest bohaterką kilku warszawskich legend. Wszystkie wyznaczają jej rolę patronki i opiekunki miasta. Syrenka na warszawskiej Starówce została zaprojektowana przez warszawskiego rzeźbiarza Konstantego Hegla. Pierwotnie (1855-1928) oraz obecnie (od 2000) stoi na rynku. W międzyczasie była kilka razy przenoszona w inne miejsca w Warszawie. W 2008 roku oryginalna rzeźba wykonana z brązowanego cynku została wycofana z rynku do prac konserwacyjnych. Rzeźba była w bardzo złym stanie z powodu uszkodzeń mechanicznych i licznych aktów wandalizmu. Naprawiony oryginał został przekazany do Muzeum Warszawy i zastąpiony kopią wykonaną przez odlewnię Jacka Guzera w Dąbrowie k. Kielc.
⋇⋆✦⋆⋇ KOLYADA WINTER GOD ⋇⋆✦⋆⋇
The Slavic god Kolyada gave people a calendar, the etymology of this word is simple - Kolyada's Gift.
Kolyada not only gave a convenient system for calculating years, months and days. He was also a god who sowed peace between neighboring nations. Legends say that the peoples following Kolyada always lived in complete harmony.
Kolyada is a young deity. It symbolizes the young sun, which replaces the old one, tired from a year of work in the sky, shining during the holiday dedicated to this deity. The birth of Kolyada, the young sun, is identified with the birth of Jesus Christ. Many ancient pagan traditions were converted into a Christian way with the arrival of a new religion in the Slavic lands. Churches were built on the sites of the temples, and pagan holidays replaced Christian ones. However, Christmas, as you know, does not coincide with the winter solstice, which is celebrated on December 21-22 and is considered the first day of Kolyada.
WINTER❄️
It tasted like more to go up at Le Prorel, Briançon with our ski pass without skiing to see the amazing views. Without knowing what I photographed I was surprised that this was a part of the Maginot Line so high up in the mountains🌞
I replaced the upload from a few minutes before with a panorama. After I looked back what I uploaded in 2013, I found out that this was a possible panorama of 2 photos. So I made it at once and now you can see the whole area with the wonderful mountains behind it, where it was snowing at that moment❄️
Built from 1825-1835, the privately funded canal connected New Haven, Connecticut to Northhampton, Massachusetts. The advent of railroads quickly made the canal obsolete and its tow path became the route of a major north-south railroad. Today the tracks are gone, replaced with a paved walking/cycling path while the canal itself has returned to nature, resembling a slow moving stream rather than the artery of commerce it once was.
For a short time, Amtrak’s California Zephyr saw 161 on rotation. This was Amtrak’s Phase I heritage unit and replaced the previous Phase I, 156, after it hit a truck and got severely damaged. Just like 156, 161 also has been retired as a few weeks ago it caught fire in Washington D.C. and was burnt to a crisp.
Clingendael is one of the most beautiful estates in the Netherlands. The park located between The Hague and Wassenaar has an eventful history. Since the sixteenth century, various garden and landscape architects have contributed towards the look and atmosphere of this country estate. In the 19th century the garden architect Zocher replaced the garden's original French design by the English landscape style that was so popular in those days. Later the garden was turned into an Old Dutch park and a Japanese garden was added to it. Behind Huys Clingendael residence lies a large playground and field where children play and families enjoy picnics. There are several walking routes you can follow and there is also a tearoom you can visit for a cup of tea or coffee with apple pie or an ice cream.
I walk on my own to think it over
I can't believe this is real
It all seems so clear
All seems so right
I can't put on words how I feel
In time you'll see
What you mean to me
Everyday I think of you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
There's nothing here in the world
I can face without you, no
I'm lost in your eyes
You dream me away from here
Far away, where I can feel no pain
With you i feel safe
I know you keep me out of harms way
In time you'll see
What you mean to me
Everyday I think of you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
There's nothing here in the world
I can face without you
Anytime you doubt with us
Makes you wanna run away
You think of what we have
If it feels like everything goes there away
I'll be standing here
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
there's nothing here in the world
I can face without you
Nothing in this world can replace you
There is nothing
There is nothing
There is nothing

FR - Le 19 juin 1973, 15h45 à Paris Gare de Lyon.
La BB 67096 de Nevers est dans son état d’origine. Elle manœuvre en gare pendant une heure creuse. Elle est encadrée par des chariots de gare, des vieux lampadaires, la Tour de l’Horloge, et une équipe de la voie affectée au remplacement de quelques traverses, pendant une pause clope.
Les anciennes traverses sont stockées entre les rails de la voie sur laquelle circule la 67096.
Les travaux étaient entièrement manuels, tout à l’énergie musculaire! Et l’équipe continuait à travailler pendant que les trains roulaient sur la voie d’à côté. Ils ne portaient pas d’équipements personnels de protection (EPI), pas de casques, de gants, de chaussures de sécurité …
De nos jours, le travail au détail n’existe quasiment plus, on ne remplace plus quelques traverses isolées, on refait toute la voie. Ces deux voies seraient condamnées, les quais interdits d’accès … et peut-être même une grande partie de la gare !
Un livre de référence sera publié en 2026 sur cette série de machines. Contactez moi en messagerie pour plus d'informations.

EN - 19 June 1973, 15:45 – Paris Gare de Lyon.
BB 67096 of the Nevers depot is still in its as-built condition. It is moving light in the station during a quiet hour. It is framed by station trolleys, old lampposts, the famous Gare de Lyon Clock Tower, and a track gang assigned to replacing a few sleepers, taking a cigarette break.
The old sleepers are stacked between the rails of the track on which 67096 is moving.
The work was entirely manual, relying solely on muscle power. The gang continued working while trains were running on the adjacent track. They wore no high visibility clothes, no personal protective equipment, no helmets, gloves, or safety boots.
Nowadays, spot repairs have virtually disappeared: instead of replacing a few isolated sleepers, the entire track is renewed. Both tracks would be closed, the platforms cordoned off… and perhaps even a large part of the station!
A reference book on this engine series will is about to be published in 2026. Please contact me by Flickr mail for more information.

(Madagascar) -Nous sommes toujours au bac n°3. Le fameux radeau dont la flottaison est assurée par des bidons et de jerricans. Il remplace le bac motorisé en panne échoué sur la rive, dont on aperçoit une partie de l'arrière, en haut à droite de la photo.
Cette fois, je suis sur le radeau. Seul le bruit des pagaies des piroguiers rompt le silence qui règne sur la rivière ce matin là, la progression de notre embarcation étant assurée par les passeurs d’eau qui tirent lentement sur une corde qui relie les deux rives. A cet instant, je vis un moment magique qui à lui seul, récompense des fatigues subies sur cette piste infernale.
Cette scène est l’occasion de rappeler qu’à Madagascar, la pirogue est un moyen de transport encore très utilisé dans les nombreuses régions ne disposant d’aucune piste carrossable, où les fleuves et les rivières sont les seuls axes de communication. Chaque famille dispose des plusieurs de ces embarcations taillées dans un seul tronc. Généralement on utilise du bois de « farafatse ». Un arbre très tendre, donc facile à travailler et d’une extrême légèreté.
The essential Malagasy canoe
(Madagascar) -We are still in bac n°3. The famous raft whose flotation is provided by cans and jerrycans. It replaces the broken down motorized ferry, part of which can be seen washed up at the top right of the photo. This time I'm on the raft. Only the sound of the canoeists' paddles breaks the silence that reigns on the river that morning, the progress of our boat being ensured by the water ferrymen who slowly pull on a rope which connects the two banks. At that moment, I experienced a magical moment which in itself rewarded all the fatigue endured on this hellish track.
This scene is an opportunity to recall that in Madagascar, the canoe is a means of transport still widely used in the many regions that do not have any vehicle tracks, where rivers are the only axes of communication. Each family has several of these boats cut from a single trunk. Generally “farafatse” wood is used. A very soft tree, therefore easy to work and extremely light.

Caernarfon Castle (Welsh: Castell Caernarfon Welsh pronunciation: [kastɛɬ kaɨrˈnarvɔn]) – often anglicised as Carnarvon Castle or Caernarvon Castle – is a medieval fortress in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, north-west Wales cared for by Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service. It was a motte-and-bailey castle from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward I of England began to replace it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales, and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale. There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon's Roman past, and the Roman fort of Segontium is nearby. Wikipedia

Three weeks ago there were American Avocets in breeding plumage...this day the Avocets had been 'replaced' with hundreds of Western Sandpipers in their breeding plumage...once again, my favorite soft rock and very enjoyable shooting!
The official City Explorer Tour Trams. 2011
I think these have been replaced by hop on - hop off Double Decker red buses today.
These Trams seemed a little bit slow and may have held up the traffic flow. They didn't run on rails but had tyres and could travel anywhere.
(Perth Tram Company.)
Climb aboard a wooden replica tram that resembles the first trams to operate in Perth. Friendly drivers provide a commentary as the tram passes by historic points of interest, like Barracks Archway. The journey travels to Kings Park, with spectacular views over the city, and across the river to Burswood Resort and Casino. If you take the morning tour you can stop over at the Casino or Kings Park for no extra cost, then catch a later tram when ready.
When replacing the wooden trestle in 1915, the Milwaukee Road (that's the name of a defunct railroad line) wanted the new bridge to be impressive. Not only was it spanning Pine Creek, but also a new motorway - the Yellowstone Trail (locally known as the Inland Empire Highway). More importantly, their trains would be soaring over the tracks of their competitor, the Northern Pacific Railroad.
Once completed, there weren't many bridges like this. And here it stands today. The Milwaukee Road went under in 1986. Around that time, the bridge went to the state of Washington. Unable to do anything with it, they eventually turned it into a rail trail. Now you can ride your bike (or just hoof it) over the bridge.
Curiously, the Norther Pacific tracks, just on the other side of this hill, are still in use. They're known as the P&L Branch Line and are operated by the Spokane, Spangle & Palouse Railway, which is owned by Washington state.
For you Yellowstone Trail fans, this is the bridge with one of the very few remaining original direction arrows on it. However, it was recently covered over by repairs. The smooth concrete surface is ripe for a repainting, if anyone is interested.

A look back on a backpack trip from last summer (2024) to the Missouri Lakes Basin in the Saguache Range, Colorado. Early morning sun hits the slopes of Savage Peak (13,134', 4003 m) above the relatively still waters of one of the Missouri Lakes. Clouds associated with the summer monsoon are already starting to build over the peaks.
Of particular note is the rock glacier on the left side. Rock glaciers are rock covered bodies of ice, or in some cases a combination of rock and ice mixed throughout. Like ice glaciers they move downhill, though their fronts may melt back faster than the uphill portion can replace the portion lost to melting. You can see the steep, unstable front of the rock glacier with the darker, brown colored debris, as well as several lobes near the front and on the right side. This rock glacier was likely part of the Little Ice Age that occurred between 1300 and 1850 CE.

About the photograph.
Am y llum
The photograph was taken from the footpath between the Amis Reunis boat and the Observatory Tower on the southern part of the village, right next to the River Dwyryd, and looking toward north.
In the photograph, the tall building is known as the Bell Tower, and parts of the buildings to the right of the photo is known as The Watch House. In the background, you could see The Dome.
About Portmeirion.
Portmeirion is a tourist and historical coastal village located on the estuary of the River Dwyryd, about 2 miles south east of Porthmadog, in North Wales, and owned by a charitable trust.
Some of the buildings already existed around the middle of the 1800s, such as the hotel, along with Castell Deudraeth.
Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, the chief architect bought most of the buildings. Between 1925 and 1975, he designed, built, and improved the area into an exquisite village, in the style of a Mediterranean feel.
It had since become a most popular tourist location, and often used as on-location filming site for various television shows.
Nowadays, most of the buildings are used as hotels or self-catering cottages, while tourists have a day-out looking around.
About the television show called The Prisoner.
Ynglŷn â'r sioe deledu o'r enw The Prisoner.
The Prisoner is a 1967 British television series about an unnamed British agent who chose to resign from Intelligence services.
In the series, he was imprisoned in a mysterious retirement village at a secret location. Although the village was used for retired secret agents, he was placed there because his superiors and bosses wanted to know why he chose to resign.
In the show, his name was never used, and he was referred to as ”Number Six, as everyone else were given numerical codenames. The mysterious village was overseen by an administrator whom was often referred as Number Two.
Number Six was played by the actor Patrick McGoohan, whom also created the show, as well as writing and directing some of the episodes. He played the main character in 16 out of the 17 episodes. Only played his character in a minor role in one episode, because at that time, he took time off from The Prisoner, to attend a filming of a movie.
In each episodes, different actors played Number Two, and each tried their own attempts to get Number Six to reveal his reasons for resigning. This was often done by means of tricks, drugging, brainwashing, identity theft, and so on.
The usual plot of each episode would have Number Two attempting to use their own means, bring Number Six close to the breaking point, where Six could finally reveal his reasons, but often in the end, Number Six often saw through the attempts, and rebuffed the attempts.
Portmeirion was used as a stand-in filming location for the mysterious village due to its unique style.

Replacing an 11th century church that burned in the 1440s, Saint Severin is one of the oldest churches in Paris. Though it has an overall Gothic structure, it has many unique features. One of the most unusual is the addition of modern stained glass windows in 1970.
These windows supposedly represent the Catholic sacraments (like confirmation, marriage, etc.), but are non-figural. To me, they are totally incongruous with the structure of the church and with the historical windows in the church. In the picture, the upper windows are original; the lower set are the 1970 windows

It's Wednesday evening and I've just got home after spending an hour talking to one of the candidates on the interview shortlist to replace me later this year. That's my fault because I'd said I'd rather do an evening call than at lunchtime, and Katie and I did get to sit in the sun for a while earlier so I'm not going to complain. If in some way I've helped the process that will release me into the community in the autumn, then it will ultimately have been worth it. Occasionally people ask me whether it feels strange talking to people who've applied for the dubious honour of replacing me. Sometimes people will wonder whether I was sad when I announced I was finishing after over twenty years at the college. But actually I've found it very easy. I want to spend more time looking at sunsets and no time at all staring at spreadsheets in confusion. Later this afternoon I looked out of the window at the students enjoying the unusually warm March sunshine and exclaimed out loud at
the unfairness of it all. Why were we trapped indoors on such a beautiful day? "It's not for us," said Katie. There was a tangible note of resignation in her reply.
I've just made the mistake of looking through the west window (which makes the house sound rather grander than it actually is) and can see the sky is doing lovely things as sunset approaches. In fact in the words of young Mr Turner, things are kicking off out there. I can see alternating pastels of pink and blue. I really need to stop looking; there's no time to get anywhere interesting and set the tripod up sadly. Besides which, I'm getting ready for the next few weeks as the clocks go forward and the world around us begins to open up a little. Lee, Dave and I have been very excited about the prospect of being able to enjoy a quiet pint after an evening out again soon as we try to overcome the disappointment of reviewing the images on our camera screens. Bad photos are always somehow better when there's a full glass of Sea Fury in front of you.
This photograph came after another race to the sunset. Ali and I had been east - all the way to Golitha Falls and Minions on the edge of Bodmin Moor. It was one of those languid August days when the sky hung above us, changing very slowly with the hours. There was still plenty of daylight left as we began the journey home, and as we beetled along Goss Moor the clouds slowly gathered into parallel lines and started to colour. I'm a notoriously slow driver, but my right foot moved ever so slightly on the pedal towards the metal. It was definitely kicking off. Convinced we wouldn't make it to a suitable composition I sighed into my steering wheel as we descended Hamburger Hill. But the clouds continued to hang around, seemingly with nowhere to go as the golden hour ushered itself in. By the time we reached Carland Cross I'd decided that a diversion to Wheal Coates was happening, even though I knew the clock was against us. I know what despair is - I can deal with that - it's the hope that always drives me to distraction.
Twenty minutes later we parked at Wheal Coates and gathering the camera bag from the back of the car, I raced towards the Weather Watching Cliff where hastily I set up my tripod. The sun was just about to disappear behind a low shroud on the horizon, but it didn't really matter. The clouds, lit in heavenly tones of pink and orange tell you why. What had started as an idle observation of the sky and had gradually quickened into the final urgent trot across the cliff path had produced a result to remember the evening by. It's taken time to understand it, but this place never lets me down, whatever the season.
Back to this evening, the colours in the sky didn't last, so perhaps I haven't missed a show as good as this one was. But the signs are there - spring is coming and those warm summer days will surely follow.
I think this is the bit where I'm supposed to say happy hump day. The weekend is just that little bit closer.

Elige la vida, elige un empleo, elige una carrera, elige una familia, elige un televisor grande que te cagas, elige lavadoras, coches, equipos de compact disc y abrelatas electricos. Elige la sal, colesterol bajo y seguros dentales, elige pagar hipotecas a interés fijo, elige un piso piloto, elige a tus amigos. Elige ropa deportiva y maletas a juego, elige pagar a plazos un traje de marca en una amplia gama de putos tejidos, elige el bricolaje y preguntate quién coño eres los domingos por la mañana, elige sentarte en el sofa a ver tele-concursos que embotan la mente y aplastan el espíritu, mientras llenas tu boca de puta comida basura, elige pudrirte de viejo, cagándote y meándote encima, en un asilo miserable, siendo una carga para los niñatos egoistas y hechos polvo que has engendrado para reemplazarte, elige tu futuro, elige la vida. Pero ¿porqué iba yo a querer hacer algo asi?. Yo eligí no elegir la vida, yo elegi otra cosa. ¿Y las razones?, ¡no hay razones!. ¿Quién necesita razones cuando tienes heroína?

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you've got heroin?
