** Photo d'archives : mai 2019 **
Chaque image a sa petite histoire et celle-ci n'échappe pas à la règle , en me rendant sur un de mes spots " passereaux " je m'engage dans le petit chemin et ce joli spécimen était juché en haut d'un talus , me voyant arriver sur place il a eu la bonne idée de s'aplatir pensant que je ne le verrai pas , arrivé à 40 mètres il a préféré passer de l'autre côté du talus , ni une ni deux je me suis garé à distance respectable ( 20 mètres ) j'ai mis le filet de camouflage devant la portière de mon carrosse et j'ai attendu sagement qu'il revienne , l'attente ne fût pas bien longue , une vingtaine de minutes et il a repris sa vie de Faisan en restant quasi deux bonnes heures à gratter la terre et parader en haut de son talus .
Image prise en milieu naturel et depuis la portière de la voiture équipée du filet de camouflage .

Each image has its own little story and this is no exception to the rule, by going to one of my "passerine" spots, I take the small path and this pretty specimen was perched on top of an embankment, seeing me arrive on the spot he had the good idea to flatten himself thinking that I will not see him, arrived at 40 meters he preferred to pass on the other side of the embankment, neither one nor two I parked at a respectable distance (20 meters) I put the camouflage net in front of the door of my coach and I waited wisely for him to come back, the wait was not very long, about twenty minutes and he resumed his life as a pheasant by remaining almost two good hours to scratch the ground and parade at the top of its embankment.
Image taken in a natural environment and from the car door fitted with the camouflage net.

It is very appreciated, as you noticed, I do not answer any more directly following your comment just to say in fact "thank you and good day", but in return I pass to leave a small mark with you on one or more of your editions. thank you for your understanding
As with everyone, Covid has made people put there lives on hold. This is one of my son’s who has been locked down in London for months. To see him run down the beach and run into the sea was quite emotional. I have the feeling that the new normal has arrived. Childhood can be resumed under a new set of rules.
Take care out there.
All the best......
This mockingbird was at the top of an Electric Pole singing. Every couple minutes it would fly up a few feet and then resume it's position.
What would be do without good eye sight? I have one surgery done to remove cataract and one more on March 2nd. All is going well but I am looking forward to resume my fitness. I hope you are well. I took this photo last year in Vancouver near Parc Stanley. I think this section of a mural is not part of the VMF.
Une partie de murale vue en janvier 2022. J'ai eu ma première chirurgie pour une cataracte dans l'oeil droit et j'aurais la même chirurgie pour l'oeil gauche le 2 mars. Tout se passe bien mais je dois faire moins de fitness pendant quelques temps. Bonne semaine à tous.
This American Pipit spent nearly two weeks along the Lake Ontario shoreline before presumably resuming his/her migration.
My series on Jacksonville, Illinois will resume next month. I've changed locations and will be posting photos of Austin and Texas Hill Country for the next 2-4 weeks.
I'm kicking off this addition to my Texas albums with a photo I took yesterday of The Academy, a fine derivative of the shingle style of architecture, Located in the Travis Heights neighborhood, this magnificent house, with its towering belvedere sticking above the treetops, was constructed in 1889 for Myron D. Mather, president of Austin Water, Light & Power Company. The structure is said to be partially constructed of granite left from the 1888 completion of the Texas State Capitol.
The house was briefly owned by Texas Supreme Court justice Leroy G. Denman in 1897. As the Austin Military School in the decade after 1920, the House was called "The Academy."
The Academy was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1985, and is contributing to Austin's Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District listed in 2021 in the National Register of Historic Places.
As of 2021, Austin had an estimated population of 964,177, The city is the cultural and economic center of the Austin-Round Rock metropolitan statistical area, which had an estimated population of 2,421,115 as of July 1, 2022. Austin is home of the University of Texas at Austin, one of the largest universities in the U.S. with over 50,000 students.
My inherited horse from a dear friend that passed...hard to believe she's been gone for two years; I miss talking to her about horses and commiserating over hay. I think Donna would love this image. It was a rocky start with Red and the rest of my horses (many people told me to give up on him) but he has settled down quite nicely now that my oldest horse Aztec has reclaimed his status in the herd as the BOSS. Not sure what happened but it's a Godsend. Red is very intelligent and has developed great trust in me, and trust is everything. I believe animals act out and grieve too, now that I witnessed it first hand. Red is a real people lover and the first one to come up to see what I'm up to. He also lets a rather excited 16 month old sit on his back without anyone holding him. His training will resume in the Fall when the mosquitoes are gone.,,,so far so good. He's not a fan of mosquitoes and tried to come in the house with me several times. LOL
The Damme Canal (French: Canal de Damme. Dutch: Damse Vaart or Napoleonvaart) is a canal in the Belgian province of West Flanders. The canal links Bruges with the Western Scheldt at Sluis (now across the frontier in The Netherlands). It was constructed on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte who wished to create a canal network in order to permit the efficient transport of troops without the risk of disruptive interventions from the British navy.
Following the defeat of Napoleon, the original strategic imperative for the canal was removed. The plans in the Napoleonic era had called for a link to the Scheldt at Breskens. Half a century later the canal opened to traffic in 1856, and the link with the sea had moved to Sluis.
At Damme the canal crosses the Leopold Canal and the Schipdonk Canal, both of which were dug in the middle years of the nineteenth century in order to reduce the vulnerability of the Belgian canal network to Dutch interference, after the achievement in 1830 of Belgian independence. It was necessary to create a system of Siphons because of the differences in water level of the three canals. The canal was used until 1940 when French troops destroyed the siphon system: this put an end to maritime transport on the Damme Canal.
After war use of the canal resumed, but it was used now by pleasure boats, along with a tourist boat connecting Damme and Bruges.
Leopards are beautiful cats and what wildlife photographer wouldn’t love the chance to photograph them. However, they are usually solitary and unless you’re extremely lucky enough to find a female with cubs, or interaction between two adults, or a hunt (emphasis on extremely lucky) you generally are left with them walking through their range or sleeping. Add a tree, however, and things become more potentially photogenic. This leopard was walking through the Maasai Mara savanna when it quickly climbed a tree to gain a better view of potential prey or threats. We managed to get close enough in time to catch it coming down from the tree to resume its wanderings. (Panthera pardus) (Sony a1, 200-600mm lens @344mm, f/7.1, 1/1250 second, ISO 640)
The sturdy steelwork of the DM&IR bridge over Crawford Creek feels the weight of a loaded natural ore train. This train was loaded at the Auburn Mine along the DM&IR and was destined for the blast furnaces of U.S. Steel's Gary Works in Indiana.
In early 1994 mining of natural ore began again at the dormant Auburn Mine, one of the last known pits of natural iron ore on the Mesabi Range, near Virginia. The primary recipient of this ore was US Steel's Gary Works. Initially the ore was to be shipped through the DM&IR ore docks and lake vessel. However, the moisture content of the unscreened ore made it sticky and dumping at the dock was difficult. So, in October 1994, managers opted to move the ore in all-rail trains using DM&IR cars and via a DM&IR-WC-EJ&E routing.
Originally slated to be only 4 trains, then upped to 10, it ended up being a total of 20 that year. The following year, August 1995, Auburn all-rail trains started up again with 35 trains operated up to mid-October. In 1996, a drying/screening plant was built at the Auburn Mine to solve the moisture problems and dock/boat shipments resumed as originally intended, thus ending the movement of natural ore over the WC. WC symbols for these trains were EJELD for loaded trains and EJEEM for empty movements.
The above info was pirated from my WC book Volume 2 and was co-written with my friend Brian Buchanan who worked in the WC marketing/traffic department.
Tōkyō Station (Japanese: 東京駅) is a major railway station in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. The original station is located in Chiyoda's Marunouchi business district near the Imperial Palace grounds. The newer Eastern extension is not far from the Ginza commercial district. Due to the large area covered by the station, it is divided into the Marunouchi (west) and Yaesu (east) sides in its directional signage.
The station opened in 1914 as an integrated terminus for the present-day Tōkaidō Line, Tōhoku Line, and later the Chūō Line, which previously had separate termini in Tokyo. Since then, it has served as the main terminus for inter-city trains departing Tokyo westwards. The station was badly damaged during the Bombing of Tokyo on 25 May 1945 but soon resumed service. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen, the world’s first dedicated high-speed rail system, opened between the station and Osaka in 1964. With the extension of northbound Shinkansen lines from Ueno in 1991, the station also became a gateway to northeast Japan.
Served by the high-speed rail lines of the Shinkansen network, Tōkyō Station is the main inter-city rail terminal in Tokyo. It is the busiest station in Japan in terms of scheduled trains, with more than 4,000 trains arriving and departing daily, and the fifth-busiest in eastern Japan in terms of passenger throughput; on average, more than 500,000 people use Tōkyō Station every day. The station is also served by many regional commuter lines of Japan Railways, as well as the Tokyo Metro network.
Dans le domaine photographique, le terme crawler peut avoir une signification différente et spécifique. Il désigne généralement un outil logiciel ou un script automatisé utilisé pour rechercher et collecter des images sur Internet ou dans des bases de données.
Certains logiciels photo, comme Adobe Lightroom ou Google Photos, utilisent des algorithmes qui fonctionnent de manière similaire à un crawler pour analyser, organiser et indexer les photos dans une bibliothèque. Ils explorent les métadonnées, les balises et les emplacements des fichiers pour aider à organiser les collections.
Les photographes professionnels peuvent utiliser des outils basés sur des crawlers pour rechercher des utilisations non autorisées de leurs photos sur Internet. Cela peut être utile pour vérifier les violations de droits d’auteur !
En résumé, dans la photographie, un crawler est principalement utilisé pour explorer, collecter et organiser des images, ou encore surveiller leur utilisation en ligne …

In the field of photography, the term crawler can have a different and specific meaning. It generally refers to a software tool or an automated script used to search for and collect images on the Internet or within databases.
Certain photo software, such as Adobe Lightroom or Google Photos, use algorithms that work similarly to a crawler to analyze, organize, and index photos in a library. They explore metadata, tags, and file locations to help organize collections.
Professional photographers can use crawler-based tools to search for unauthorized uses of their photos on the Internet. This can be useful for detecting copyright infringements!
In summary, in photography, a crawler is mainly used to explore, collect, and organize images, or to monitor their usage online …

Stranger #94 – Chlo
“I will resume my psychology studies. I will do a post graduate course in Geneva. In the beginning, I didn’t really know, I did the undergraduate course. Then, I took a break. I want to become a psychologist because I used to be down and now I’m better. I want to accompany people, to help them. Where do I see myself in 5-10 years? I’ll be a psychologist, I’ll have my practice. If it’s possible I want my practice in a forest, I want a simple life. I want to live with someone I love or not or live with people I love. I know what it’s like to be down and then to get better. Some advice for my younger self? Believe!”
“Believe in what?”
“In me! Some advice for people? Believe in yourselves! Do I still have faith in humanity? Yes, of course. I’m studying psychology because I believe, in humanity I don’t know but in each person, yes. The best memory from my childhood? When I’d wake up in the morning, my father would be mowing the lawn, it smelled life cut grass, I would see my mother planting flowers. That’s too precious. What am I proudest of? Having gone through with my therapy. It took two and a half years. There are a lot of different types of therapy, I did a cognitive behavioural therapy. The aim is to give you tools to face certain situations.”
In order to make Chlo's portrait I used a reflector for the first time. Clara was kind enough and skillful enough to hold the reflector for me in order to light Chlo properly.
Thank you very much Chlo!

“Je vais reprendre mes études de psycho, en master à Genève. Au début je savais pas trop. J’ai fait la licence et j’ai fait une pause. J’ai envie de faire psy parce que j’allais mal et ça va mieux et j’ai envie d’accompagner les gens. Dans 5-10 ans, j’aimerais être psy, avoir mon cabinet, si possible avoir mon cabinet dans la forêt., avoir une vie simple. Vivre avec quelqu’un que j’aime ou pas ou vivre avec des gens que j’aime. Je sais ce que ça fait d’aller mal et d’aller mieux. Un conseil à moi même quand j’étais plus jeune? Y croire!”
“Croire à quoi?”
“En moi! Un conseil aux autres? De croire en eux. Est-ce que j’ai encore foi en l’humanité? Oui, bien sûr. Je fais psycho pour ça, parce que je crois, en l’humanité je sais pas mais en chaque individu. Le meilleur souvenir de mon enfance? Quand je me levais le matin, que mon père tondait la pelouse, ça sentait le gazon, je voyais ma mère planter des fleurs. C’est trop précieux. La chose dont je suis la plus fière? Être allé au bout de ma thérapie. Ça a pris deux ans et demi. Il y a plusieurs types de thérapies, j’ai fait une thérapie cognitivo-comportementale. Le but c’est de te donner des outils pour faire face à des situations.”
Pour faire le portrait de Chlo, j'ai utilisé un réflecteur que Clara a eu la gentillesse et la dextérité de tenir pour éclairer Chlo au mieux.
Merci beaucoup Chlo!

While in the midst of this “wait a little longer” I am going to hush my incessantly worrying mind and harness opportunity. There is a “resume” button on the horizon. So here we go.
Time to press “resume” and move forward into this year with expectancy. Step into the future.
Do you need to recommence?

With school resuming this week, I decided to start making instructions for my models in Studio.
In addition to archiving my models online, making instructions allows for the use of newer pieces I didn't even know existed.
Thanks for looking!
Part of my holidays have been spent in lovely Strasbourg.
I stayed at a friend that was generous to lend me his flat.
After the long day dedicated to traveling, knowing the house, getting something to eat I finally got sleeping.
Only the necessary time of sleep to make your brain enter pause mode and I wake with the true feeling someone was chainsawing the entire building... I had no escape in two or three floors my time would come. Time enough for my brain recover from hibernation and I could walk to window. The big chainsaw, actually bigger than the trams in Strasbourg, was doing rail polish. The road was long and it was so slow the workers had to stop walking and wait for it. Believe it or not the transformer resumed its business the next day only a 100 meters away.

The NICTD track project is ongoing, but early this year I caught a daylight move of commuter cars being moved to Gary to be exchanged for cars needing moved to the shops at Michigan City.
This train departed Michigan City a couple hours earlier, and after a long slow trip to Ogden Dunes, it resumed track speed and is moving at 40mph as it approaches the west end of Wilson.
Carta (Sibiu County): Cistercian monastery
The city and monastery of Carta are located 43 km from Sibiu on the road to Brasov. Here are preserved the ruins of the Cistercian monastery, one of the oldest and most important monuments of the primitive Gothic church in Transylvania. The Cistercians are a monastic order originating in France and widespread in several countries.
The Carta Cistercian Abbey played a major role in the political, economic and cultural history of medieval Transylvania, as well as in the introduction but also in the dissemination of Gothic art in the inter-Carpathian space.
The monastery was founded in the years 1205-1206 by King Andrew II of Hungary.
The beginnings of the monastery are confirmed with the erection of its first buildings, used, as the Cistercians used it, from perishable materials, that is to say wood. These can be dated with relative certainty between the years 1205-1206.
The stone parts of the monastery will be erected between the years 1220 and the end of 1230. The construction of the monastery was carried out in two main phases of execution, chronologically interrupted by the great Tatar invasion of 1241.
In the first phase of construction, which has stylistic characteristics dependent on the late Romanesque, the general plan of the monastery was drawn, the walls delimiting its inner courtyard being raised to a height of 3-4m above the ground.
In 1260, after the assassination caused by the Mongol invasion in the spring of 1241, construction work will resume under the direction of a new architect, trained in the environment of mature Gothic, and with the contribution of a workshop of stone with an eclectic structure.
By 1300, the church and the eastern wing of the Charter Monastery were completed, with the completion and construction of the southern wing of the abbey continuing for approximately two decades.
The fierce struggles with the Ottomans from 1421 to 1432 and the decline of the order made the church and its monastery a ruin. This also led to its closure by King Mathias Corvin in 1474.
However, the west facade is still standing and above the Gothic portal is a large rose window. The tower attached to the facade was built later, in the middle of the 15th century, and its transformation into a bell tower took place later.
Currently, the monastery no longer has all the original buildings and annexes, many of which collapse. The vaults of the huge church have collapsed and there are only a few exterior walls and two interior beams (south and north). To the south, there is still a single Roman column, and the side ships, according to the Cistercian plan, end in a small square choir. The main ship no longer has a ceiling - in its place is a cemetery in memory of the German soldiers killed in the First World War.
The Reformed Church today occupies only the choir and the apse of the old basilica. The Gothic portal has probably been moved from a side entrance and its profile betrays Gothic influences.
Numerous examples of the tombs of the founders of Cistercian churches allow the existence of a royal necropolis under Carta.
Engines shouting to the sky, an eastbound BNSF stack train gets back underway at Dalies after holding for a late Amtrak 3. After this brief interlude, the nearly continuous parade of intermodal traffic will once again resume on the "Southern Transcon."
Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do on here! Got back from the beach so you will be spammed with uploads for the next few weeks. And I've just got 4 rolls of film back to scan in and look through, so brace yourselves :p
I miss being by the sea already, it was so beautiful. Although my remote died on me when we were there, so thank you to hannah for holding it like 1m from the camera and pressing it when I asked her to :D Slightly less of a thank you to the complete creep who started hugging me and asking us to go to the pub with him as we were taking this photo.
Stream stalking will resume asap :)

The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family) is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Gaudí's work on the building is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in November 2010 Pope Benedict XVI consecrated and proclaimed it a minor basilica, as distinct from a cathedral, which must be the seat of a bishop.
Construction of Sagrada Família commenced in 1882 by architect Francisco Paula de Villar with Gaudí becoming involved in 1883 after Francisco resigned as the head architect. Taking over the project, Gaudí transformed it with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted his last years to the project, and at the time of his death at age 73 in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete.
Sagrada Familia's construction progressed slowly, as it relied on private donations and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, only to resume intermittent progress in the 1950s. Construction passed the midpoint in 2010 with some of the project's greatest challenges remaining and an anticipated completion date of 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death.
While never intended to be a cathedral (seat of a bishop), the Sagrada Família was planned from the outset to be a cathedral-sized building. Its ground-plan has obvious links to earlier Spanish cathedrals such as Burgos Cathedral, Leon Cathedral and Seville Cathedral.
Gaudí's original design calls for a total of eighteen spires, representing in ascending order of height the Twelve Apostles, the Virgin Mary, the four Evangelists and, tallest of all, Jesus Christ. Eight spires have been built as of 2010, corresponding to four apostles at the Nativity façade and four apostles at the Passion façade.
The Evangelists' spires will be surmounted by sculptures of their traditional symbols: a winged bull (Saint Luke), a winged man (Saint Matthew), an eagle (Saint John), and a winged lion (Saint Mark). The central spire of Jesus Christ is to be surmounted by a giant cross; its total height (170 metres (560 ft)) will be one metre less than that of Montjuïc hill in Barcelona as Gaudí believed that his creation should not surpass God's. The lower spires are surmounted by communion hosts with sheaves of wheat and chalices with bunches of grapes, representing the Eucharist.
The completion of the spires will make Sagrada Família the tallest church building in the world.
