Gemeint ist die Breitspurseite des Bahnhofes Siemianówka. Zwischen dem ersten Bild des Tages und diesem hier gab es ein gutes Frühstück im Haus am Waldesrand. Mit dem Fotografieren mussten wir uns jedoch beeilen, denn für diese Einstellung hier darf der Zoll nicht auf der Lok sein. Sonst gibt es Ärger, den niemand braucht. Also husch, husch und frisch ans Werk, die Autos der Zöllner waren bereits an den Regelspurgleisen geparkt worden. Zu sehen sind 2M62-0987 und rechts die DLA / Aspect TEM2-086.
Inzwischen ist der Bahnhof komplett umgebaut, einmal durchsaniert und mit reichlich Zinkmasten versehen worden.

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.
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.

for the Smile on Saturday challenge "music in B+W"
I couldn't resist this week's challenge! I love music, especially classical music. I used to play the clarinet, and now there's just a recorder and a fife in the house to remind me - and plenty of sheet music (arranged primarily for piano). Together with the joke tea towel with dozens of musical puns and expressions.

Have you ever wondered how a drake Wood Duck in nuptial plumage, with his wide array of vibrant colors, can possibly blend into his environment? Well, this is how. Every color of this slightly-disheveled drake is echoed in his surroundings. You might think that the his white markings would stand out, but they actually help to break up his profile. You can also see bits of white as the sun reflects against the lily pads. At the bottom of the food chain, Wood Ducks must be extremely discreet, even as they dress their best to please the ladies.

Dad, I got a bead on Putin. Now, how do you start this thing?
"Clancy, he'll do himself in eventually."
Long live Ukraine.
"Long live Ukraine."
(Waiting for snow is the hardest thing to do, so hard I almost started a war with Russia all by myself out of frustration. Damn you Putin, and damn you global warming. When Dad was a kid he was at the outdoor skating rinks every Christmas day trying out new hockey gear. These days it's 50-50 that we'll even have a white Christmas. Take it to the streets, take it to your leaders, do your own part, and let's reverse this problem before we get to the point where nothing else will matter.)
(This photo is from our 2016 trip to the St. Lawrence River, by a monument to the Battle of Chrysler's Farm, War of 1812.)

St. Lawrence River, Morrisburg, Ontario
This shy, solitary bird, that usually prefers the quiet, heavily wooded backwaters of the river, is being seen more and more often, largely due to the lack of tourism... His crepuscular activities contribute to his retiring behaviour...
Finding him out in the open was wonderful sighting...
There is something to be said about being a photographer, and married to a magician. He takes you along for the ride when he goes off to the mountains to perform a magic show.
Even when you are feeling bitchy.
Especially when you are feeling bitchy.
The magnificent sights eradicate the bitchiness. Real fast.
We are in Banff, Alberta tonight. We are staying at the Banff Springs Hotel. Yes, that Banff Springs Hotel -- one of the most gorgeous properties on the planet. And the same hotel where some of the scenes from the horror classic, The Shining, were shot! Woooo!
Yes, I think this diva will stay.
Thanks, David!
Hey, I know...I will take a shot of the hallway, and then add some ghosts.
Oh, my, how original. Don't care - it'll be fun. Besides, I've turned out 2 chapters in only 2 days.

There is a palpable energy to a tightly packed herd like this that comes through even in a still image, without the movements and the grunts. Unlike flamingos or whales, wildebeests don't stink, so the experience is limited to only two senses, sight and sound.
Still shot extracted from 4K video, SONY RX10M3. Nominal sharpness applied, corresponding to about the 50% level in LightRoom.
I am very impressed by the sharpness of the still frame out of a video sequence, this is amazing! There are low end DSLRs that don't have this image quality for still photos. See the B&W version of this below to see the micro contrast.

CP 7015 higballs through Minnesota City, MN with the RCP OCS. This was the first revenue train for 7015 as well as any given CP Heritage ACu rebuild.
The sun is sure to shine
For you and me for everyone
So don’t be sad it’s just the start
Of a new beginning in your life

This 2.5m-high dike was built in the 19th century to cut the delta off from the sea. A 20km-long walking and cycling track runs along its length linking Stes-Maries with the solar-powered Phare de la Gacholle (1882), a lighthouse automated in the 1960s. Footpaths cut down to lovely sandy beaches and views of pink flamingoes strutting across the marshy planes are second to none. Walking on the fragile sand dunes is forbidden.
Riisitunturi National Park is in the southern part of Finnish Lapland near Posio. The park covers an area of 77 km² and represents the fell and hill landscapes in Koillismaa. There are colourful hanging bogs on the slopes of the Riisitunturi Fell and scenery over the Lakes Kitkajärvet and the forest landscape of Posio. The snowy forests wintertime are worth seeing by themselves.
One more frame of this scene, this one zoomed in on the two unique trailing units because it is doubtful this will ever be repeated!
In a surprising turn of events the CSXT Geometry train returned to the MBTA for several days of testing. The purpose of this was to run the CSXT train in a consist with the MBTA's own newly built revenue GEO cars, the MBTA 533 and 534. These rebuilt MBB coaches were outfitted with data collection instrumentation from Ensco and the Keolis engineering team wanted to run them together with a piece of control equipment so they all collect the same data at the same time to be compared and validated. The train consisted of F40PH-3C 1070 bracketing cab car 1706, the two MBTA GEO cars, CSXT's three car train of 994366 (Geometry/theater car TGC3), 994365 (support car Hocking Valley), and 994369 (crew car Grand Rapids) with its assigned one of a kind unit, CSXT 9969, an ex MARC GP40WH-2. All of that was bracketed on the other end by MBTA 1130, a rebuilt GP40MC dressed in its one of a kind 'heritage' colors colloquially known to fans as the 'easter egg scheme' which mimics the paint job worn by the original F40PHs in the 1970s and early 1980s as well as some of the FP10s. This was the second of six (so far!) 'heritage' schemes designed to pay homage to the MBTA commuter rail system's early years and its legacy predecessors.
The Keolis north side work train crew is on board the 1070 as they head east toward Rockport over the causeway at MP 25.3 on the Gloucester Branch which dates from 1847 when constructed by the Eastern Railroad. They are crossing the double track thru girder bascule drawbridge built by the Boston and Maine in 1944 which provides access to Manchester's inner harbor.
Rising at right can be seen the white steeple of the First Congregational Church which dates from 1809, and is the fourth meeting house...with the first having been built way back in 1656!
