Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Colour re-edit of a shot from April 2019. I am so desperately missing the sights and sounds of the city but Glasgow remains under level 3 restrictions for another week. Stay safe out there!
I have photographed several bird species around Ao Nang, in Thailand but this chestnut-headed bee-eater (merops leschenaulti) was, for me, a single and surprise sighting. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
With my sights set on 3 CP/BNSF trains that were in the area today, I had completely forgotten that the Apache may be in the picture also. As I topped the hill just outside Holbrook, I heard the conductor ask for a set over the radio. Sure enough there they were in the yard doing their brake test and shortly after that the roll-by inspection before leaving on the southbound run back to Snowflake. A quick detour to Romero St. to set up and here they come in all their carbon-filled glory with 23 cars on the pin. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Native Masked Bee (Hylaeus (Euprosopoides) perplexus)
My second sighting of this species of Masked Bee. I am hoping they will settle and set up a colony here.
A Louisville-bound Indiana Railroad freight was passing through Bedford on a hot humid day. This was one of the final INRD moves to Louisville before the traffic was shifted to the Louisville and Indiana and this trackage was abandoned.
Going back to this location, you'd never know a railroad once ran here. At least that homeowner got a larger yard.
This is now the Milwaukee Road Transportation Trailway.
Last night (12 Aug) at 9:30 pm I received a phone call that Tidda was running at full speed on this bridge, trying to get home! There are big logging trucks going over this narrow bridge and even at night there are trucks and traffic with gaps only just long enough for a dog to run across at high speed. It was a bold and daring move but her only possible way home.
Unfortunately, once again people trying to catch her drove her to turn around and disappear into the bushes on the wrong side of the river again. I was there within 10 minutes - I was in such a rush that I even forgot my phone - but could not find her. I called her and walked around and then later sat near where she disappeared until almost 5 a.m.
Still no Tidda, but this new sighting is very good news. She is well. She is remaining in the area. She is trying to get home. She still has her leash on.
I can refocus my strategies and am really, really hoping for a reunion in the near future!!
Length of bridge 1938 feet, 591 meters.

...on my way to work today. Not a typical image but this made me smile. As have all the amazing polaroids this week. Roid Week 2014/5
At last I gain the summit plateau of Ben Avon and the rocky tor marking its peak is within sight. I'll have to climb on top to claim the Munro bag but fortunately my legs still seem up the task.
Climbing Ben Avon (pronounced Ben A'an) which stands at 1171 meters (3842 feet), and Beinn a'Bhuird (pronounced Ben a-voashed) standing at 1197 meters (3927 feet), sees me covering a distance of just over 24 miles. They are my 2nd & 3rd Munro's of the season, and bring me to a total of 26 now.
