No 7802 'Badley Manor' departs Bewdley for Kidderminster with the last scheduled passenger service of the day.

A very busy summer schedule has kept me away from social media for a while, so it feels good to be able to post a new image again.

 

I came across this place completely by accident while trying to decide on a future international trip, and immediately knew that no matter where this place was located, I just had to photograph here. Now, this beautiful and unusual beach has instantly been added to my favorite places list. This is one of those locations I could easily photograph every day, for at least a month.

 

I will include all the details about this magical place in my next post.

 

The Austonian held the crown of tallest building in Austin for nine years until The Independent surpassed it by only seven feet in 2019. Located at 200 Congress Ave., the 683-foot tall, 56-story building is a modern architectural icon in this rapidly growing city.

 

This post modern skyscraper was designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects of Houston. At the time of its completion in 2010, the Austrian was both the tallest building in Austin, and the tallest residential skyscraper in the United States west of the Mississippi River. Both distinctions are now held by The Independent, although another downtown Austin tower, Sixth and Guadalupe and still under construction, has already topped out at its final height of 865-feet and is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2023.

 

Austin is the capital of the State of Texas, as well as the seat of Travis County. With a population of just under one million residents, Austin is the 11th largest city in the United States. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Area, now with a population of 2.3M, is one of the fastest growing large metropolitan areas in the country having added more than 579,000 residents since 2010.

Led by a former Conrail SD40-2, M426 rounds the curve by the Readfield bog on their way east to Waterville. While the current schedule is about as good as it can be for an eastbound on District 1, the excessive brush growth in recent years makes it somewhat frustrating to find open spots, with this spot in Readfield being about the best available.

Train: ICN 764 Roma Termini - San Candido/Innichen

Locomotives: 402 126+156

Location: Toblach/Dobbiaco

 

As widely reported, the Pustertal region got its overnight service from/to Roma back, that was withdrawn about ten years ago. However, this extension of the InterCityNotte weekend service is currently only scheduled for the winter season until April (not all year as in the past). That's why this train is called "Treno alla neve" in the italian media and of course, due to the many ski resorts along the line.

York Minster, formally the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, is an Anglican cathedral in the city of York, North Yorkshire, England. The minster is the seat of the archbishop of York, the second-highest office of the Church of England, and is the mother church for the diocese of York and the province of York. It is administered by its dean and chapter. The minster is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument.

 

The first record of a church on the site dates to 627; the title "minster" also dates to the Anglo-Saxon period, originally denoting a missionary teaching church and now an honorific. The minster undercroft contains re-used fabric of c. 1160, but the bulk of the building was constructed between 1220 and 1472. It consists of Early English Gothic north and south transepts, a Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, and a Perpendicular Gothic eastern arm and central tower.

 

The minster retains most of its medieval stained glass, a significant survival among European churches. The east window, which depicts the Last Judgment, is the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. The north transept contains the Five Sisters window, which consists of five lancets, each over 53 feet (16.3 m) high, filled with grisaille glass.

The avocet is a distinctively-patterned black and white wader with a long up-curved beak. This Schedule 1 species is the emblem of the RSPB and symbolises the bird protection movement in the UK more than any other species. Its return in the 1940s and subsequent increase in numbers represents one of the most successful conservation and protection projects. RSPB

Two of the four chicks to come out of this box. All ringed, weighed and measured, admired and photographed. The chick on the right was the youngest and judging by its dark face a ruff is probably a female. All birds ringed under Schedule 1 Licence by qualified ringers and in a box which is part of the Falkirk Council Barn Owl Box Scheme. We’ve had a good season, with 36 chicks ringed, our second highest total

Eén kilometer westelijker en 13 minuten later zien we opnieuw de 628 518 tijdens het halt houden in het stationnetje vn Wasserburg.

 

Het stel is ondertussen teruggekeerd richting Lindau nadat het in Kressbronn de reizigers heeft opgepikt van de veel te laat rijdende RE uit Stuttgart - op tijd rijdt de RB 22735 echter ook niet: nog steeds staat er plus 10 op de teller.

-----

With the outskirts of the Pfänder in the background we can see once again the 628 518 making is scheduled stop at the station of Wasserburg whilst returning as local train to Lindau.

 

Due to the fact that the passengers of the delayed RE from and to Stuttgart had to exchange trains at Kressbronn, this RB still had a delay of 10 minutes.

As soon as spring arrives, the sheep invade the foreshore to come and taste the halophilic plants. The sea flora charged with salt and iodine, combined with the long displacements, gives this so particular taste to the flesh of the lambs, very appreciated by the experts.

Taking the sheep to graze in the foreshore is a local tradition attested since at least the 15th century. Lambing takes place in the sheepfold during the winter, although some farmers schedule births in the spring to avoid supply shortages. For the first two or three months after birth, the lambs are fed mainly on their mother's milk. The animals are taken out in March after the high tides of the equinox and stay in the bay for a minimum of two and a half months, extending into the autumn.

The Zillertalbahns freight services are still going strong three years after the resumption of service. The trains schedule remains basically the same with a approximately 7:30 departure from Jenbach to Fügen which works out well in the long summer days. Unlike last year I got the freight on the first attempt. The train is seen here entering the Ziller Valley at Strass.

The blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra), also known as the Indian antelope, is an antelope native to India and Nepal. It inhabits grassy plains and lightly forested areas with perennial water sources. It stands up to 74 to 84 cm (29 to 33 in) high at the shoulder. Males weigh 20–57 kg (44–126 lb), with an average of 38 kg (84 lb). Females are lighter, weighing 20–33 kg (44–73 lb) or 27 kg (60 lb) on average. Males have 35–75 cm (14–30 in) long, ringed horns, though females may develop horns as well. The white fur on the chin and around the eyes is in sharp contrast with the black stripes on the face. The coats of males show a two-tone colouration; while the upper parts and outsides of the legs are dark brown to black, the underparts and the insides of the legs are white. Females and juveniles are yellowish fawn to tan. The blackbuck is the sole living member of the genus Antilope and was scientifically described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. Two subspecies are recognized. The antelope is native to and found mainly in India, while it is locally extinct in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Formerly widespread, only small, scattered herds are seen today, largely confined to protected areas. During the 20th century, blackbuck numbers declined sharply due to excessive hunting, deforestation, and habitat degradation. The blackbuck has been introduced in Argentina and the United States. In India, hunting of blackbuck is prohibited under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. The blackbuck has significance in Hinduism; Indian and Nepali villagers do not harm the antelope.

Minutes after making its scheduled station stop in Helper, Amtrak's California Zephyr train No. 6 is back on the move in Spring Glen, Utah the morning of June 17, 1989.

Four and a half years ago, I took a train to Nagasaki from Shimabara.The train passed a tiny seaside station which named Omisaki. It was amazing the hanging handkerchiefs on platform were written wishes by people in various of languages. Due to my tour schedule I had no time to get off to shoot, so I just catched the moment the door opening. Maybe the composition is not good in a rush, but I love this picture. Now I'm wondering so many years passed, have the wishes came true? I really hope so!

I went up to Mount Shasta on Friday specifically to try to create this image. Inspired by a picture I saw from Paul Schmit and thanks to a suggestion from a friend, I figured out I could get Andromeda rising from behind Mount Shasta and decided to give it a go.

   

This picture took everything I have learned in 12 years of photography. I used an equatorial tracker to find and stay locked on Andromeda starting from when it was still behind the volcano. As the tracker slowly turned, I kept watching the LCD on the camera to see if and where Andromeda would show up. At 10:56pm on Friday night, it peaked out from behind Shasta, right on schedule. I was literally dancing!

   

I kept tracking Andromeda for another 35 minutes to get enough exposures to bring out the details in it's spiral arms and to bring out M110 and M32, Andromeda's sister galaxies.

   

I then rotated the tracker back to center Shasta and took several images of it without the motion of the tracker. All of these images were stacked in Siril and composited in Photoshop. The relative size and placement of Andromeda is exactly as it appeared. I did not enlarge Andromeda to make it stand out. Andromeda is actually 6X wider than our moon, but so faint that the human eye can barely see it.

 

This is a reprocessing of the first version I posted. I used better astro processing techniques, corrected the color cast, and cropped in more.

A morning shot in the majestic glen. Heading north on a schedule but always time to catch some great light and awesome views.

It's going to be another "Grab-a-Box" week. This box is loaded with grab shots that I took on my to the Roberval & Saguenay Railway in August of 1988. We had went via Maine.

After the BAR in Millinocket, ME, we travel to Aroostock and across the border into New Brunswick and Edmonton and then toward Quebec City. Along the way this train was caught at Saint-Éleuthère, (previously posted here).

Weather was much better by the end of the week, but a nearly straight shot to New York was in order due to my work schedule.

At Ste-Foy Quebec we find this pull-pull style VIA Rail train getting ready to head for Montreal.

Merlin - Falco columbarius

 

The UK's smallest bird of prey, this compact, dashing falcon has a relatively long, square-cut tail and rather broad-based pointed wings, shorter than those of other falcons. Its wingbeat tends to be rapid with occasional glides, wings held close to the body.

 

In winter, the UK population increases as most of the Icelandic breeding birds migrate to our warmer climate. Although recovering from a population crash in the late 20th century, it is on the Red List. It is a Schedule 1 listed species on The Wildlife and Countryside Act

 

The merlin (Falco columbarius) is a small species of falcon from the Northern Hemisphere, with numerous subspecies throughout North America and Eurasia. A bird of prey once known colloquially as a pigeon hawk in North America, the merlin breeds in the northern Holarctic; some migrate to subtropical and northern tropical regions in winter. Males typically have wingspans of 53–58 centimetres (21–23 in), with females being slightly larger. They are swift fliers and skilled hunters who specialize in preying on small birds in the size range of sparrows to quail. The merlin has for centuries been well regarded as a falconry bird. In recent decades merlin populations in North America have been significantly increasing, with some merlins becoming so well adapted to city life that they forgo migration.

 

Merlins inhabit fairly open country, such as willow or birch scrub, shrubland, but also taiga forest, parks, grassland such as steppe and prairies, or moorland. They are not very habitat-specific and can be found from sea level to the treeline. In general, they prefer a mix of low and medium-height vegetation with some trees, and avoid dense forests as well as treeless arid regions. During migration however, they will utilize almost any habitat.

 

Most of its populations are migratory, wintering in warmer regions. Northern European birds move to southern Europe and North Africa, and North American populations to the southern United States to northern South America. In the milder maritime parts of its breeding range, such as Great Britain, the Pacific Northwest and western Iceland, as well as in Central Asia, it will merely desert higher ground and move to coasts and lowland during winter. The migration to the breeding grounds starts in late February, with most birds passing through the USA, Central Europe and southern Russia in March and April, and the last stragglers arriving in the breeding range towards the end of May. Migration to winter quarters at least in Eurasia peaks in August/September, while e.g. in Ohio, just south of the breeding range, F. c. columbarius is typically recorded as a southbound migrant as late as September/October. In Europe, merlins will roost communally in winter, often with hen harriers (Circus cyaneus). In North America, communal roosting is rare.

 

Merlins rely on speed and agility to hunt their prey. They often hunt by flying fast and low, typically less than 1 m (3.3 ft) above the ground, using trees and large shrubs to take prey by surprise. But they actually capture most prey in the air, and will "tail-chase" startled birds. Throughout its native range, the merlin is one of the most able aerial predators of small to mid-sized birds, more versatile if anything than the larger hobbies (which prefer to attack in mid-air) and the more nimble sparrowhawks (which usually go for birds resting or sleeping in dense growth). Breeding pairs will frequently hunt cooperatively, with one bird flushing the prey toward its mate.

 

By far the most serious long-term threat to these birds is habitat destruction, especially in their breeding areas. Ground-nesting populations in moorland have a preference for tall heather, and are thus susceptible to overmanagement by burning vast tracts instead of creating a habitat mosaic containing old and new growth. Still, the merlin is rather euryoecious and will even live in settled areas, provided they have the proper mix of low and high vegetation, as well as sufficient prey (which is usually the case) and nesting sites (which is a common limiting factor).

 

Population:

 

UK breeding:

900-1,500 pairs

  

From the records, this ran about an hour late from the schedule. Was around Carmont then the light faded so, Scotston (Laurencekirk) was chosen for the evening June light. And the record for this, 47812 was still in its plain blue colours!

Hadleigh Castle Essex UK

 

Hadleigh Castle is a ruined fortification in the English county of Essex, overlooking the Thames Estuary from south of the town of Hadleigh. Built after 1215 during the reign of Henry III by Hubert de Burgh, the castle was surrounded by parkland and had an important economic and defensive role. The castle was significantly expanded and remodelled by Edward III, who turned it into a grander property, designed to defend against a potential French attack, as well as to provide the King with a convenient private residence close to London. Built on a geologically unstable hill of London clay, the castle has often been subject to subsidence; this, combined with the sale of its stonework in the 16th century, has led to it now being ruined. The remains are now preserved by English Heritage and protected under UK law as a Grade I listed building and scheduled monument.

On a beautiful spring day Jubilee 45690 Leander heads towards Newby Bridge with the 11.45 ex Haverthwaite train, an exceptional few days at the railway with both Beet family engines featuring in both charter and service train schedules, a very well manicured line side by the railway compliments the scene.

BUSIEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR AT AIRPORTS

Berney Arms situated on the bank of the river Yare, near Great Yarmouth (Norfolk).

The windmill was built in 1865 for Reedham Cement company by Millwrights Stolworthy. It was initially used to grind cement clinker using chalk/clay from local area's brought to the mill by Wherry. The material was fired in nearby kilns and the product clinker ground in the mill.

Cement production ceased in 1880 and in 1883 the mill was converted with a drainage scoop to drain the surrounding marshland.

The mill closed in 1948 when replaced by motor pumps.

Berney Arms is a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the care of English Heritage, and has undergone lengthy restoration.

A Golden Beaver has escaped from the clutches of the icebox known as Montana and is on its way to the West Coast with 100 loads of grain from Sweetgrass. This train started off on the 11th with some skittles for power but has had numerous problems along the way resulting in being almost 3 days behind schedule and filled out with all BNSF units. Luckily the 7007 kept working and stayed leading through it all. With some snow packed in behind the plow, the crew eases along on yellows on M1 due to MOW working in Holbrook on M2. The G-SWEGUC3-11 is set up 3x2x0 with BNSF 609, a neutered warbonnet D9 now AC44C4M, in the 3rd spot, and two more pumpkins 2/3 back in the train moving just under 14k tons of grain.

 

CP 7007 is the former 9119, a SD9043MAC, built by EMD in 11-98 and rebuilt by Progress Rail in 2019.

  

The hottest train on Conrail's River Line was TVLA. Scheduled to depart North Bergen at 7:30am, it was usually through CP 5 before 8:00am, and was carded to be interchanged directly to the Santa Fe at Corwith Yard in Chicago by 9:00am the following day. According to my notes, the train pictured here is TVLA-1X. It crossed Overpeck Creek at 9:30am on New Yeasrs Eve, so perhaps it was following the regular TVLA. The trailing Santa Fe and Southern Pacific GEs had led TV-556 the day before and have made a quick turn to head back west.

With the FEC's new schedule, 101 can be a morning shot at Stuart on the longer days of the year (and a little bit of delay helps too). The standard GEVO-LNG tender set lead it southbound on this day, under common FL weather conditions for the summer. July 2021.

Rolling into Swastika late in the afternoon, ONR 308 was a few hours off schedule after an altercation with a motor vehicle near Connaught at milepost 96 of Ramore subdivision.

Remains of ONR's once extended ABS signal system are quite evident in this view taken from a rock cut near the wye and connection with the Kirkland Lake subdivision right behind me.

 

Ontario Northland, along with the local city representatives, agreed to torn down the iconic Swastika station a couple of weeks after our visit. Sadly, the signal bridge came down at the same time.

Both sandhill crane eggs hatched and out popped two precocious, healthy orangey-gold chicks, endearingly known as "colts" almost immediately ready to follow their parents out of the nest on their diligent foraging for worms and insects to feed the colts.

 

Interesting to note that these photos were taken exactly one year to the day from my images of the 2019 hatchlings. These guys really keep to a tight schedule!

ANA269 to Fukuoka ready for pushback... exactly on schedule

I think this is stunning architecture! The station was designed by the architect John McAslan + Partners, and the renovation of the station, which to their credit, was completed in 2005, was done on schedule.

This charming little house has been scheduled for demolition, guess they're going to put a parking garage or something there.

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! We have a fun and friendly holiday schedule this month.

December's featured artist is Kimma McGregor !!

 

Sandy Burgess will be teaching us about aspect ratios on Dec 10th. And lastly, our Grove Photo Club has a special outing to Calas Galadhon for holiday fun. Everyone is invited to join us!

  

The 184 has always had a school journey included in the schedule that requires a decker. Arriva usually used an HV on this journey.

 

Now that the route is with Go Ahead, the allocated type is the LT, although on the basis of this shot on the outskirts of Southgate the route doesn't appear to need a decker, unless there's a sudden influx of school kids further along the route.

 

Speaking of Arriva, this LT came from them a few months ago, and doesn't yet carry Go Ahead vinyls.

Another frame of the one and only time I pulled this off in 10 years living in The Last Frontier!

 

The Alaska State fair is always summer's last big hurrah in the Last Frontier. To help accommodate the 300,000 visitors over the two week period (equivalent to about half the state's total population) the ARR runs trains from Anchorage to Palmer up to three times a day on both weekends. This is a great way to travel and beat the traffic and the train drops you right at the gate as seen here.

 

These trains are the only regularly scheduled passenger trains on this normally freight only branch, and the only ones now that travel this far to MP A4.5. And on only one night each year they set of fireworks at 10 PM sharp. If the last train of the night arrives on time it is sitting at the station in a perfect position for just about the whole show. I had tried this shot the prior year only to be skunked by a train that arrived ten minutes late, but this time it all came together.

Home to the Earls of Stair, Castle Kennedy is known to have been standing in the 14th Century.

 

Unfortunately, the Castle and virtually all its contents were destroyed by fire in 1716. Lochinch Castle was then built on the estate as the home to the Earls of Stair.

 

Today, the ruins of the old Castle, a scheduled ancient monument, stand at the heart of the Gardens. The present Lord Stair and his family are committed to both restoring elements of the Gardens to their 19th Century splendor and to continuing the Gardens’ evolution.

Here is another 2019 favorite just now getting added to Flickr:

 

So you know I love street running trackage (who doesn't?!) and Pan Am has one tiny piece in Massachusetts that I've long known about but didn't know how to shoot.

 

In South Lawrence Pan Am still runs on a mile or so of the long gone Lowell and Lawrence railroad to reach an industrial track. Near the end they run down the side of and through one lane of Glenn St. which they then swing across sharply to reach into the park. Now only one customer remains there, the Whitemore Company.

 

Whittemore receives a switch only about once a week from Pan Am who brings in loads of perlite. These carloads originate on the old Rio Grande in Antonito, Colorado which I think is a pretty cool personal connection.

 

Anyway, catching this move is exceedingly difficult because it only runs once a week on no particular schedule, and Lawrence is a to far in the wrong direction go to in a morning after work and most of the Pan Am locals based there are Sun-Thu jobs. But one job, LA-1 works on Fridays so I knew it was theoretically possible.

 

So after getting off work and doing my turnover Fri morning I still had no plan what I was going to do and the weather was awful not planning to clear up until noontime. Many mornings I chat with the friendly BO-1 crew that goes on duty in the front office at BET (Keolis let's Pan Am share our office space and fax machine, etc). Those boys know I'm a foamer and I always ask if there is anything cool going on. They told that LA-1 was showing cars for the perlite as they called it and suggested I give it a try.

 

So off I went! I ended up sitting in the rain until nearly 10 AM till they started switching and it was about 1145 till they finally called for the light to cross over and head to the branch. So by this time the rain had stopped and things were looking up. And to make things interesting they took two units this time...one on each end so they didn't have to ride the shove over a mile and that resulted in the two being back to back when they came out with the empties.

 

I took over 400 shots just (and got some Amtrak, MBTA, and one road freight) while in the area. So naturally it was hard to narrow it down to a favorite...and frankly I've not even gone through all of them yet.

 

But here are four I really like and wanted to share right off for your consideration. Hope you like them.

 

Another Friday...another ultra rare bucket list shot. I still don't actually believe I got this move. It's just soo cool! 2019 sure is doing well so far to compete with 2018 when it comes to foam opportunities!

Mohave Point is located at an altitude of 2,125 meters. Another remarkable viewpoint on West Rim Drive.

The West Rim Drive consists of the driveable section from Grand Canyon Village west to the road's endpoint at Hermits Rest. In this context, however, drivable means that this 13.1-kilometer section can be traveled from March 1 to November 30 by a regularly scheduled, free shuttle bus. During this time, however, the route is closed to private vehicles. The trail runs along the canyon rim past Trailview Overlook, Maricopa Point, Powell Point, Hopi Point, Mohave Point, The Abyss and Pima Point.

Well if it isn't the lovely Jessica again! And she's now she has a new look, out with the red and in with the blonde and it looks great on her. Then again she looks breath taking regardless!

 

We originally were planning to meet up and shoot earlier last week but I had the cancel on her the night before. I managed to get sick the week before and the days just before our planned shoot it just got worse. I was hoping I'd get better but 1 week later my cold developed into the flu. At the moment I wasn't sure when our next chance to meet up would be, figured it wouldn't be until next month since I was (and currently am) going to be in Halifax for a week and my work schedule after that wasn't looking the greatest. So just before I was to leave for Halifax we managed to meet up for a little bit later in the evening after we both finished work. We spent around 3 hours walking around downtown Toronto shooting and its great working with Jessica because we always end up getting a lot of great shots. Got almost 20 keepers from the shoot and I'll slowly upload some of my favourites. I want to say this one might be my favourite from our little shoot and funny enough it was the first shots of the day too.
