Lovely Winter scene down the lane in Talsarnau.
Snow on the mountains and a cold day today
Whilst walking.
[ Monday ]
Talsarnau or Talsamau is a village and community in the Ardudwy area of Gwynedd in Wales. Its population was 525 in 2001, and had increased to 550 at the 2011 Census. The village of Talsarnau is situated on the A496 coastal road between Maentwrog and Harlech, close to the hamlets of Eisingrug and Llandecwyn.

A murky scene in the open cast coal mine at Sandaoling as a loaded train slogs its way out of the pit, while in the middle background, another loco is about to push back to the loader, upper right of the picture.
Reports suggest that this has all finished (in April this year) and the diminishing reserves of coal are being taken from the pit by conveyors and trucks.
The world’s last great steam spectacle has finally ended.

We managed to get out and about yesterday, been feeling low so it was nice to feel the sun and fresh air. Whenever we are in Steveston we always buy a loaf of bread at Romania Country Bread. The owner built the wood-fired oven himself and is quite a character. All he makes is one type of bread and it costs ten dollars a loaf but it is fabulous. As for Win Win Chicken, haven't tried it yet :)

Dresghar - "Hatto! The Half-Elf who has kept us decent wine and indecent gossip for decades!"
Hatto - "Lord Dresghar! Have you cured your allergy to paying your bills yet?"
Have a wonderful Christmas Season!
This morning's scene is good and fine,
Long rain has not harmed the land.

You get some glorious views down the Grisedale Valley towards Ullswater as you descend from the lofty heights of St Sunday Crag.
I had his location in mind when I planned the walk and imagined I would have to hunt around for the composition. However it was immediately obvious and not at all what I envisaged. Still a nice view though!
This was taken during a walk around the harbor district of Olde Havana. I was just walking with the camera looking for interesting things to photograph and this became a pleasant scene for me to take a photo.
Please view & enjoy (L)
Back in February I spent a morning at March station.

A shot taken walking between Low Force and High Force. I have kept it in colour, and post processed the colours to remain true to the original.
Shot on Leica X and post processed in Lightroom.
dramatic sunset reflecting off a potent looking storm over the Philippines (I like the mountain peeking out)
At the farmer's market of the "Viktor-Adler-Markt" in Favoriten, the 10th district of Vienna
Karl Mahrer, the regional party chairman of the Vienna ÖVP, considers it his mission to make Vienna look bad and to blame the ruling SPÖ for all this badness. To this end, he makes inflammatory videos in which he scandalizes alleged ills. For example, he recently had himself filmed calling the police in view of a man sleeping on a bench in the shopping street Mariahilfer Straße. flic.kr/p/2oQitKe
In March, he had already published another inflammatory video in which he portrayed this market as a place of horror and a no-go zone. www.vienna.at/no-go-zonen-in-wien-favoriten-mahrer-sager-...
I had plane tickets to Arizona for a week of sun and trains. It would have been a great trip, especially with some cool pics of various southwestern operations showing up on Flickr in the days leading up to my planned departure. However, one nagging concern kept me second-guessing that decision right up until literally the last minute. Despite a dismal weather forecast for the East Coast, and the anticipated hoards of (fellow) foaming fans, I decided a trip to see Western New York and Pennsylvania ALCOs was the better option. The threat - of course - was the arrival of several big GEs to replace the ALCos.
WYNP's ex-CSX AC6000 #6002 had recently come through St. Louis on its way from repainting on the Arkansas & Missouri and had already been recorded leading trains down to Pennsylvania. WNYP #6001 had departed St. Louis only days prior. There was no time to lose.
Fourteen hours after departing the St. Louis metroplex, I rolled into Olean, NY and headed directly to the shops to see how things were arranged for the following day. 6002 was positioned to lead something, but this here is what I came for...or at least some of what I came for.
Ex-CP MLW RS18u #417 and ex-NYC C430 #431 sit quietly at the WNYP shops, ready for the following morning's activities. 417 and ex-DH RS3M #406 would end up working the yard, while 431 apparently headed out to Falconer, NY in company with C430 #430 and C424 #435.
On a visit to the tulip fields, we passed by the daffodil fields and saw about half a dozen rogue irises among the almost-finished daffodils
