Probably needed much more exposure time in a dark sky location using an astro-modified camera with a nebula filter and a scope with clean mirrors! ‘Astrophotograhy for fun’ is my motto, so it matters not to me that this image of C11, the Bubble Nebula that I have made by stacking some shots that I captured yesterday evening is far from perfect😉 I did get to see a bright Leonid meteor zoom close by this target area (just a few seconds before the clouds arrived though!).
This was part of my planned trip to Temple. The hunny had a doctor’s appointment in BS&W; so I took the opportunity to scope out the Junction and Engine Servicing Facility.
Of course as soon as I got parked in the Whistle Stop Park parking lot, a downpour commenced, so I sat in the car and I watched a wb? coal on the far side of the facility come through; then a wb? nb? manifest curve in front of me into the Temple Yard.
About 15 minutes, and the downpour let up, and I began walking up the West Central Avenue overgrade. What a nice location! A great elevated view of the Servicing Facility and the three track curve into the Templ Yard behind.
I shot the power sitting waiting to be worked on, and high tailed back to the car as it was starting to sprinkle again. Definitely on the re-do list.

But the catch (for me anyway) was:
BNSF 1205 Hydrogen Hybrid. This locomotive was a Railpower GG20B built for Canadian Pacific as #1704. Around 2007(?) it was acquired by BNSF, and converted to a Hydrogen Hybrid powered test platform. This, make this catch my first H2 powered locomotive catch.

A U.S. Navy air traffic controller watches his radar scope where he works as an Aircraft Approach Controller in the Carrier Air Traffic Control Center on board the USS George Washington (CVN 73) on Jan. 30, 1996. The controller is responsible for ensuring the safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic operating in the vicinity of the aircraft carrier. The nuclear powered aircraft carrier and its battle group are en route to the Mediterranean Sea for a scheduled six-month deployment. While there, they will patrol the waters of the Adriatic Sea in support of the NATO Implementation Force (IFOR) in Operation Joint Endeavor. DoD photo by Airman Joe Hendricks, U.S. Navy.
A telescope house in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood. Buffalo, New York.
These homes typically were initially built on a very narrow lot as a small worker's cottage between 1860 and 1900, and over the years and generations additional rooms were added onto the rear of the original house, many stretching to nearly the full length of the property.
As recently as the 1970s and 1980s there were thousands of these type homes in many neighborhoods of the Buffalo East Side, and today perhaps a few hundred survive and remain occupied.
Homes with these additions are typically not recognized from the street, but only seen by aerial views, and views from vacant adjacent properties.
The viewfinder for an antique Cail-O-Scope. For a quarter it flicked through a series of frames to animate a 'story' about two kids getting hit in the face with a custard pie!

Photos and good words from our friends at Spokane Coalition Builders:

"Another great turnout in Spokane by the sane people who are against the proposed coal terminal in Longview.
A very big thank you to the folks who traveled from Montana and Idaho to speak their mind and show unity with all who oppose this bad idea to kill people and destroy our environment to "create" a few obsolete jobs. Most of which are simply temporary in nature.
"Also a GIANT THANK YOU to Eric, Martin and all the Backbone organization for your support to make this as visual and energetic as possible. We always love to see you not because you all are so effective and organized but we also think the world of you as people and Warriors for what is best for humanity and our environment. We were able to show the Corporations what the people really want for this region.
Also thank you to all the Tribal members who have shown your support and your fight to help motivate us all. We are all in this fight together.
Every red shirt attending and any supporters including elected officials should feel proud to stand with the majority even when it feels like a minority. We are on the right side of history.
