After months of repairs to tracks and bridges, the local railroad is once again hauling freight. Bright red new diesel locomotive doing the heavy pulling.
Conrad "Duke" Hauser of the G.I. Joe team sights in his conventional service rifle in anticipation for an upcoming patrol. As impressive as the energy-based weapons used by his fellow operators are, Duke finds a certain degree of confidence in knowing that his issued weapons are less inclined to fail in the midst of an electricity-related accident.
It is not the Moon, it is the Venus.
I took this photo from the balcony last night at 10:38 p.m. and only 10 minutes later Venus had already disappeared behind the horizon.
In addition to the 300mm I used a 1.7x teleconverter in front of the lens here.
Distance to the larger wind turbine in foreground 10km and only 45 million to Venus ;-)
In my depth of sight I see, the basics of nature staring at me.
The Longing for simpler times and the most basic of needs.
Searching for quite in the rush of getting things done.
In my depth of sight I see, the basic redesign of me.
The Longing for the simple to be more common than weeds.
Searching for a rush of peace before the morning sun.
In my depth of sight I see, the basic creation of love in me.
The longing for a simple life starts with simple deeds.
Searching for anything that brings a sense of calm to one.
In my depth of sight I see, basic ties to the earth and me.
The longing for simple has been found in these tiny seeds.
Searching for nothing as the earth sprouts my daily fun.

One the west side of Trail Ridge Rd. we stopped for a bit and as the back of Denise's hat say's this is Colorado's Rocky Mt. National Pk.

Milk tankers are a frequent sight around these parts as they come and go from the local dairy factory at Hautapu.
After the Foden-era passed (due to non-availability, thank you Paccar!)...Fonterra went Swedish, with a predominantly Volvo fleet. Scania was also introduced subsequently albeit in lesser number. Fast forward to 2020 and Mercedes-Benz Arocs are being trialled in the fleet alongside larger numbers of Volvo's FH model.
Here we see an R-series Scania truck and trailer tanker passing through Hautapu as it heads away from the nearby factory.
Posted slightly out of chronological order. Our first sight of the Pacific Ocean. We drove from Las Vegas to San Simeon this day and were determined to see sunset from the beach. The hour approaching the coast was unbelievably beautiful, and I wish I had time to stop and take more pictures. Unfortunately, this in the only picture I got of the whole drive. We made it to the ocean just before sunset (it was a 2.5 mile run/walk to get to the coast, but we made it).

It's not often you see two short haired blondes in the same photo! I found myself in front of the camera with the fabulous Mandy EyeCandy at November's Big Night Out in Milton Keynes.
Lance Cpl. Alexander Morris, a rifleman with Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, sights through his rifle scope during dry-fire training in Djibouti, Feb. 22, 2015. A contingent of MEU Marines was ashore in Djibouti conducting sustainment training in order to maintain proficiency while deployed. The 24th MEU is embarked on the ships of the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group and deployed to maintain regional security in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.

Male koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) has left his tree and is enjoying some dirt beneath his feet in the Australia Outback section at the San Diego Zoo. Conservation status: vulnerable
Sometimes we meet very special people in our lives that really touch us.
Yesterday I met someone very special. And I really hope he stays in my life.......
PLEASE VIEW LARGE FOR DETAIL!
burano- a little isle off the coast of venice, ITALY - is famous for its brilliant hues and handmade lace. i spent a day - but wish i could have had more time there. i remember the sounds of boats on the water, the smell of outdoor cafes, the incredible sight of multicolored buildings with clay tile roofs - a SENSORY paradise!!
the ten day trip to italy was a part of my master's program in fine arts - definitively the best graduate credit EVER!!
The demise of the former RhB Class Ge 6/6" locomotives has seen the regular use of Ge 4/4"' machines as well as the smaller Ge 4/4" units on freight trains. In this view taken a Bever, refurbished 650 had charge of the Albula Valley freight 5129, the 10:05 Chur GB to Samedan.

Thanks to Detroitika's help, I was able to make a fairly good looking ZU-23-2. I really like this build, especially because of the 'cross-functionality' that will be explained in the descriptions of my M113 APC and soon to come pics ;)
Oh yeah, expect a certain MBT and a certain cargo truck soon!
After our visit to the appliance store, we stopped at Walmart to pick up a few things before grabbing a bite to eat. And I figured I may as well do another rear view while I was at it. 😉
This whirling image features a bright spiral galaxy known as MCG-01-24-014, which is located about 275 million light-years from Earth. In addition to being a well-defined spiral galaxy, MCG-01-24-014 has an extremely energetic core, known as an active galactic nucleus (AGN), so it is referred to as an active galaxy. Even more specifically, it is categorised as a Type-2 Seyfert galaxy. Seyfert galaxies host one of the most common subclasses of AGN, alongside quasars. Whilst the precise categorisation of AGNs is nuanced, Seyfert galaxies tend to be relatively nearby ones where the host galaxy remains plainly detectable alongside its central AGN, while quasars are invariably very distant AGNs whose incredible luminosities outshine their host galaxies.
There are further subclasses of both Seyfert galaxies and quasars. In the case of Seyfert galaxies, the predominant subcategories are Type-1 and Type-2. These are differentiated from one another by their spectra — the pattern that results when light is split into its constituent wavelengths — where the spectral lines that Type-2 Seyfert galaxies emit are particularly associated with specific so-called ‘forbidden’ emission. To understand why emitted light from a galaxy could be considered forbidden, it helps to understand why spectra exist in the first place. Spectra look the way they do because certain atoms and molecules will absorb and emit light very reliably at very specific wavelengths. The reason for this is quantum physics: electrons (the tiny particles that orbit the nuclei of atoms and molecules) can only exist at very specific energies, and therefore electrons can only lose or gain very specific amounts of energy. These very specific amounts of energy correspond to certain light wavelengths being absorbed or emitted.
Forbidden emission lines, therefore, are spectral emission lines that should not exist according to certain rules of quantum physics. But quantum physics is complex, and some of the rules used to predict it use assumptions that suit laboratory conditions here on Earth. Under those rules, this emission is ‘forbidden’ — so improbable that it’s disregarded. But in space, in the midst of an incredibly energetic galactic core, those assumptions don’t hold anymore, and the ‘forbidden’ light gets a chance to shine out towards us.
[Image Description: A spiral galaxy. It appears to be almost circular and seen face-on, with two prominent spiral arms winding out from a glowing core. It is centred in the frame as if a portrait. Most of the background is black, with only tiny, distant galaxies, but there are two large bright stars in the foreground, one blue and one red, directly above the galaxy.]
