This horse was very slowly trudging through deep snow making a path for several dozen sheep to follow him to the feed trough on the other side of the pasture.
We made the slog out to the Snow Canyon overlook and had been there for a little while when we heard voices. These three women made it out there, talking up a storm the whole time. They kind of glanced at the view, they may have even remarked on it somewhere in the torrent of wordage, then sat down and continued to talk. They talked about all sorts of things... many, many, many things... and then they left.
They weren't particularly loud or obnoxious but when they left the silence was quite nice.
(they're on the ledge, left side of the photo, somehow resisting being impressed by the surroundings)
(this one's two full-frame fisheye shots joined because it wouldn't all fit in one)
After a hot morning slog in UNESCO Archaeological Site of Olympia we went for lunch at Mythos Taverna in downtown Archea Olympia.
2 of 2.
We were looking for a plate of moussaka, because we are in Greece.
Second to none, Mythos moussaka was the best we ate.
Each cruise ship stop in Greece we went for moussaka. It was so good at Mythos, when the ship docked in Katakolo again on 24 May, we took the train to Olympia just to have another feed of Mythos moussaka.
Not to be forgotten, tzatziki in Greece is unlike anything we get at home, its so thick and oh so tasty and olives, so sweet and flavourful.

My local route - a 70 minute slog through the tubeless half of North London, hoovering up the residents of Tottenham, Edmonton and beyond as it goes, through traffic-choked shopping streets and past sprawling estates and tightly packed terraces of London's overlooked (borrowing from the cliched zone-1 centric mantra of 'if there's no tube, there's no way'). Dirty, unreliable and often overcrowded, but without a doubt it easily justifies it's existence.
Seemingly out of nowhere, without the usual TfL propaganda, the will and resources have finally been found to make it run more frequently from the end of the month, with a more robust timetable. That undoes the reduction made a few years ago to 'match' it to the 259 in an ill-thought route rejig that turned the service on both routes into a crock of sh*t in the process. The population north of Ponders End, having seen cutback after cutback since 2000, should finally get a level of service approaching what it was five years ago, and I might be able to get one more often - a popular move was to turn southbound buses short at Tottenham Swan if they were late, leaving the 259 on it's own to struggle on with the extra loads further south.
Looking at this photo again, it turns out that one of the passengers is, er, my father. A cookie to the person who clocks him.
Right on the load limit but putting on an impressive show, 3237 works hard up Thirlmere Bank with the Thirlmere Flyer

I've finally finished monkeying around with slogging through stylesheets and elements to bring you Darkr!
A part of Patr for Google Chrome, Darkr now gives you the ability to browse Flickr without straining your eyeballs to death with all of the overwhelming whiteness!
I know that I probably missed a few things (and have to re-upload a few quick things I missed for the uploadr), but overall everything should work ok. If anyone finds places where it acts funny, PLEASE come back and let me know right in the comments! I'll do my best to get it worked out as soon as possible!
There are a few places where I had a rather hard time replacing images to match with the dark theme (any of the drop-down carets for "You", "Organize & Create", etc....). I'm sorry I couldn't get those darker as well, but it's more work than it's worth at the moment :(
I also manually modified a bunch of icon files to work well with a dark screen. They are now correctly layered up on transparent pngs, and could technically work with any color background (look at all the buttons just above your images to see what I mean).
Also, because of the way Chrome handles extensions, you may notice occasional flickering of white before the page loads up all the way. This is not my fault, but rather the way Chrome handles extensions (I know, I looked for days to find a work-around to minimize this). I'm sorry if this bothers anyone, but I simply cannot find a good work-around and still offer the ability to switch Darkr on/off... :(
If you are using Google Chrome as a browser, or are thinking about it, then please drop by and try out my extension specifically made to make Flickr Funr!
Lightboxes, buddy replies, Flic.kr short links, (and finally EXIF data!) oh my!!
This is a found photo of a German soldier (Wehrmacht communications unit, based on the other photos with this one on the album page). The setting? Somewhere in a snowy Russia early in the Second War War. Gotta wonder how many of these guys in the picture survived...
Take a look at the image in the large or the original size view, if that interests you.
A workaday Barclay 'Pug' slogging along overgrown track is the nearest thing to a time machine for me! The right loco in grubby condition and an assortment of Bowes wagons in this scene on the Pelaw Curve completes the scene - what more could you wish for! Just one thing - I took the liberty of removing the brake vacuum pipe. Andrew Barclay 'N.C.B. No.22 (works No.2274 built in 1939) on 18 October 2015.

Rather enjoying anything except a 66 or a 70 on the Ribble Valley Line, I jumped into a 150 ahead of the late running 6J37 to catch it at Langho station, climbing the long 1 in 82 section of Wilpshire Bank. Colas' 56094 lead 56096 today and crawled up the bank at a decent speed.
Not quite, but with sadly a still unresolved leaking piston rod gland packing and rather impressive exhaust, Southern U Class 31806 makes spirited progress up the steep climb from Alton on Sunday 16th February 2014.
Here's an elevated view of the first day of the 2011 spring line-clearing operation at White Pass Station (MP 20.1). Since the railroad doesn't operate all winter, and no plowing is done during that time, the accumulation of snow and ice at White Pass is considerable. There are literally 10-15 feet of snow here, much of which has a very dense consistency. Consequently, the first day of operations was a tough slog. Although bulldozers had been used to some degree to shave off the top layers of snow on the tracks, the remaining snow pack still left the train mostly obscured from the view of the attending photographers. Getting killer shots on that first day was a real challenge, even at an elevated location such as the one I used here, because quite frankly, most of the time, all could see was smoke and flying snow. There was just not much train visible. In this frame, you can see several photographers down on the frozen, snow-covered "Summit Lake" that sits beside the right-of-way for several miles. The only clue that this is indeed a lake is the patch of bare ice visible on the right. In this setting, the train would repeatedly charge into the snow-pack, throwing snow for several yards, before stalling out, backing up and repeating the process. It literally took all day to just get the station and sidings cleared.

Lizzy: I wish to expand the Institute to your farm. maybe have a safe place for Ghouls?
Wiseman: that is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. we're Ghouls
Lizzy: I.. noticed that
Wiseman: and you're the head of the Institute
Lizzy: yes.. where are you going with this?
Wiseman: we heard your broadcasts! you have cured aging, human weakness, and accelerated healing
Lizzy: that, we have
Wiseman: but what about us? sure, we heal faster with your crops. but we're still freaks
Lizzy: I think I understand. do all Ghouls wish to be human again?
Wiseman: exactly! do you know how close any of us are to becoming ferals? we need this
Lizzy: I'll speak with our scientists. but if there is no cure, I have another idea
Wiseman: tell me, we'll accept almost any solution!
Lizzy: scientists could fit an implant to your hippocampus and transfer your memories to a Synth
Wiseman: aren't Synths.. robots made to look like humans? like those Gen-1s..
Lizzy: they're completely human aside from Synth components to restrict the bad emotions
Wiseman: yes, please try to find a cure first, and either way we'll join the Institute
Class 66 no.66164 slogs up the 1 in 40 to Cwmbargoed on the last leg of its long journey from Earles Sidings, in the Hope Valley in Derbyshire. The work is rather easier than normal as it has only twelve wagons, compared with the usual eighteen on this service, or twenty-one on trains just coming from Margam.
Slogging through doggie Christmas photos, thought I'd pull up one from this summer instead. I can practically feel the warm rays...
slog... l'aria cambia mentre le foglie stanche cadono a terra... un passo dietro l'altro... lentamente... a fatica... camminare in avanti... sentire il peso di ogni passo, l'affanno di ogni respiro... heavily
56312 slogs up the grade from Ferrybridge (Powerstation can be seen in background) and away from Pontefract with 6Z56 Stockton-Cardiff Tidal loaded scrap,to say it had 2000 tons in tow it was actually moving faster than when the pairs of 37's hauled this train!
This is the first time I have photoed a Grid on this route and the first time I have seen one on the S&K since the Twilight Grids in March 04.
17th April 2012.
This photo earned me my 10,000th view,thanks all!
T336 slogs it's way to the top of the grade at Corio, and is about 12 minutes late, as it contends with the extra weight of "new" X46, attatched to the midday, Geelong train from Spencer St. I have no recollection of why the X was being transferred "dead" or "offline" this way, but during this era, "the powers that be", didn't seem to place "on time running" high on their priority list.

Park's of Hamilton Volvo B9R KSK984 starts its long slog north to Colne on April 25th 2015.
The Plaxton Elite is seen heading along Park Lane, home to some of the Capitals elite!
I think I can, I know I can...this Class 47 slogs up the constant gradient towards the summit at Ais Gill, now less than a mile away. Leeds-Carlisle service March 1982.
The train is about to cross Ais Gill Viaduct. "Hangmans Bridge" is in the background
An eastbound manifest slogs up the grade out of the Red River valley in western Minnesota, a few miles west of the town of Hawley. Even though there are four locomotives on the point, it sounded like only the first one was online, making for a slow trip up the hill.
The jubilee slogs up the 1/75 of shap with a 12 coach Cumbrian Mountain Express, heading for Carlisle. A reminder of days of steam on shap under British Railways. Seen here at salterwath
Slogging away from Sutton Bridge Junction at Shrewsbury is 47790 "Galloway Princess" as it rounds the curve and past the quarry at Bayston Hill with 1Z12 07.07 Liverpool Lime St to Cardiff Central. Saturday 20th April 2013.
After slogging up the really steep bit in a deluge the rain continued as we reached the first top on the northern end of the ridge, but as we turned south for the main summit the clouds started to break up and tease us with glimpses of the views we could have seen on a good day.
Coming south from Bakersfield toward Tehachapi, it's relatively flat until you reach Caliente. Then the climb begins. This train of BNSF boxes will likely have originated from the Bay area and will run east from Mojave to Barstow and onto the trans-con to go east. But there's work to be done before then, climbing over 3500 feet to the summit at Tehachapi, then dropping 1000 feet to Mojave, and the race over the desert.
Note the length of the train, look to the right above the blue containers. And there was more...
We're enjoying the 28 centigrade/82 fahrenheit sun of the afternoon of 8 February 2015, standing above Tunnel 2 between Caliente and Bealville.
45407 'Lancashire Fusilier' prepares to start its accent up Beasdale bank as it crosses Loch Nan Uamh viaduct with 2Y61 Fort William to Mallaig, on the morning Jacobite
Destined for Eisenach yard, DR 2-10-0 No.52 8079 slogs through Oberrohn with a heavy freight, the vehicles behind hidden by the steam from the injector and thankfully the railcar going the other way.

A 6 mile slog over snow to where we made high camp on Glacier Peak ... these icy sun cups were the worse ... but I would do it again in a minute ...
I'm going to be posting this photo session in multiple parts because I took so many pictures—152 to be exact! It took me seven hours (from set up, which took two hours in itself, to take down, which thankfully only took about 45 minutes) to take do this shoot. But don't worry, I'm not going to make you slog through all of those. I'm being very ruthless in culling photos and I'll be showing you a only small fraction of them. Plus, it's kind of overwhelming editing so many photos so it makes it easier to post in smaller batches. So expect more photos with this same theme next week!
Lizzy: greetings, fellow travelers. this is Liz of the Institute again. I'm speaking to you from the previous Ghoul settlement known as "the Slog". they used to grow tarberries in the old pool here, but the fresh ones have been moved to a wading pool. if you're around the mid-East Commonwealth, we have finished construction here. please stop by!
