This single olive tree was at the edge of this beautiful abandoned farm. The clouds were just coming in over the horizon.

Unlike the more complex Dahlia flowers, which have little to offer bees and other pollinators, the single flowered dahlias are perfect for pollinators. With fewer petals bees, butterflies and other insects have easy access to the flowers pollen and nectar. This one seems to have attracted a fly which I didn’t notice when I took the shot.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
diesen baum habe ich jetzt schon öfter fotografiert, er steht ja entlang der zugstrecke nach winterthur, wo ich öfters hinfahre.
a MUST in Large On Black or see all the serie as a slideshow
it's not the first time I do fotography this tree, I see him all the time when I take the train to the next city, today the clouds were specially dramatic...
CN Train U70261 is pulling through the loader at the Conneaut Ore Dock. The power on the hind end can be seen at the far end of the dock. Thanks to Wak and PW for the assist.

Experimenting with very shallow depth-of-field macro with the Revuenon 55mm f/1.2 and Marumi achromat.
Viola odorata white flowering form at Malshanger, Hampshire. Along the lanes and around the format Malshanger this form is seen in the hedgerows. Strange a white flower should have the name 'violet'. www.plantlife.org.uk/things_to_do/grow_wild/?ent=266
Every single building along the street is timber-framed (even the one on the very extreme left although it doesn't look it) and dates between the early 15th to early 18th century. All are listed either grade ll, or (rare for small domestic buildings) grade ll*
An amazing surviving streetscape in a small town packed with picturesque old buildings, and Bridge Street has the extra delight that it is the end of town; beyond the cottage in the distance is the long climb of Windmill Hill, lined with fine woodlands or fields.
The Eight Bells Pub on the right has a beautiful interior, with fine beams. At right angles to the street is the earliest part, a stunning medieval great hall with a spectacular open timber roof dating to the early 15th century.
Sadly the Eight Bells is very much laid out for dining with boring matching tables and has little traditional 'pub' space.
An autumn/winter leaf, still hanging on. Summer is approaching rapidly over here.
Have a good weekend, everyone! 🌻

Single Form, by Barbara Hepworth.
This sculpture stands in Battersea Park London, on the South shore of the lake, and is a smaller version of the one that stands at the United Nations in New York.
The first cast was made in 1963, and was displayed in an open air sculpture exhibition in Battersea Park.
In October that year, It was was shipped to America. It was donated to the Johns Hopkins University, and displayed in Washington D.C.
A second cast was also made in 1963, and was bought by the London County Council and installed at Battersea Park. (pictured here)
Hepworth doubled the size for a casting that would become the largest bronze artwork ever cast at Morris Singer's London foundry.
It was commissioned for the United Nations building, and was erected in New York in May 1964. This bigger version weighs 5.5 tonnes, and stands 6.4m high.
It has now stood at the United Nations for 60 years.

One of the more recent buses entering preservation is this ex-training London United DPS. It looks smart here displaying blinds for route 285 which was converted to double deck operation in 2015.
How is your holiday weekend going? We are enjoying long overdue relaxation time. Let me leave you with the morning image of the near by Ukrainian St. Joseph Church shot from a few miles away during the morning golden hour! What do you think?
Looking Close...on Friday!
Thank you in advance for views faves and comments. All very much appreciated.
A few weeks back I spotted some poppies in a small patch , I thought I would have a closer look on my way to work Yesterday . So after negotiating a barbed wire fence I found they were very few and a bit far from the edge of the field, My old 90 - 300 mm lens is a bit long in the tooth now and I don`t really think what I got with it very good, but i`m yet to try editing those shots, but I did find one or two close to me and in this case really happy with what I got , Hope you like it my shot of the day I think.
Pine tree branches are extremely flexible, which allows them to handle a heavy snowfall without the branches snapping off.

Soo Line Train 77 from Superior with F7A 2203-A is arriving in Dresser, Wis. on Feb. 27, 1979. Single unit F units were common on secondary local type trains on the Soo in the 1970s but new GP38-2s are coming soon for this F7.
This panorama was merged from 5 single shots taken at sunrise that was already announcing itself visibly. I was working with the Leica M10 and the beautiful Zeiss Distagon 1,4/35. Two huge giants of Wallis are clearly visble here: Matterhorn is standing in the center of the image, Dent Blanche can well be seen in the left half of the picture.
Some optimization of colours and contrast was done with careful treatment with Velvia Vision.
After the token for the single line section from Headbolt Lane has been surrendered to the onlooking Rainford Junction signalman 66099 'Glory to Ukraine' eases its heavy train, 6E26 1052 Knowsley Freight Terminal to Wilton EFW Terminal loaded binliner, away towards Wigan. The late June heatwave was taking effect here on this very hot and humid day.
