“Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.”
~ Maya Angelou
Keefer Lake, Ontario, Canada - I like Autumn not only for colour but also for the many special mornings after a cold night when the sun strikes the lake and creates this mist. It only lasts for 20 to 30 minutes typically but it is glorious each time. Although I converted this to a sepia tone the original was almost a natural sepia and I would have liked to have left it a colour photo but there were a couple of small distractions of colour that needed to disappear and since it was true to the original, sepia seemed like the best solution.
I rarely refer folks to other work but I can't resist pointing out this link ... if you have the time I highly recommend viewing this piece of stop animation ... for those of us who love light (all of us I assume:) it's brilliant!

La conférence sur les changements climatiques de Paris est en cours, c'est le temps de réfléchir et de savoir ce que nous allons faire avec ce que l'on sait.
Fourth photo of a series of four on climate change.
The climate change conference in Paris is happening now, it is time to reflect and take action. What will we do with what we know?
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.
Albert Einstein
The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations.
David Freedman
War is never a lasting solution for any problem.
Benjamin Disraeli
Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.
Niels Bohr
The basic problems facing the world today are not susceptible to a military solution.
John F. Kennedy
When money is seen as a solution for every problem, money itself becomes the problem.

Fuji X-E2 plus Samyang telephoto mirror lens at close range. You are, of course, completely free to associate this image with ideas of your own. To me, there is some symbolism involved, namely, a visual expression of the way many nations have rubber-stamped or given their seal of approval to the atrocities directed by Israel's right-wing government - not necessarily by their words, but by their deeds or rather by their non-action. Some nations had already acknowledged the statehood of Palestine and France has now joined this group. This is extremely important for the pursuit of the long-awaited "two-state" solution. A quick fix it certainly is not, for the rulers of Gaza, though fairly diminished now, are Hamas, a totalitarian and violent regime that has as much to do with liberty as a cow with playing the violin. But France has made a point.
I came across a slew of small Kansas towns this past summer, but this one was wonderful and photogenic. Unfortunately, I can't remember its name. But I found this old Chrysler and couldn't resist.

CP empty grain train no.331 is on the pull out of Toronto after making a two car setoff as well as fuelling up the engines and swapping crews. Apparently the leader here had multiple defects reported, one of which being a broken bell button which was being held together by a band-aid. Paraphrasing, but the conversation on the scanner went something along the lines of this:
Crew: "so you want us to just go ahead when there's literally a band-aid holding this button in place? It's kind of disgusting"
West Tower: "That is correct, I'm sure the band-aid is there specifically to hold that button in place, not like it came off someone, the planner said to just go ahead and leave because he's unable to fix it here on the spot".
Never a dull moment around these parts.

Amsterdam - Admiralengracht / Van Kinsbergenstraat.
Residential block, built in 1926 to a design by Bureau Gulden and Geldmaker.
This block does have an unmistakable "Amsterdam School" appearance, especially due to the attractive corner solution.
Architects Gulden and Geldmaker excel in usually more sober designs, but they could indeed come up with expressive designs (amsterdamse-school.nl).
The Amsterdam School is a style of architecture that arose from 1910 through about 1930 in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam School movement is part of international Expressionist architecture, sometimes linked to German Brick Expressionism (Wp).

Normally I chase this ginger Tom away but as he is doing a fine job of keeping the birds off my cherry tree, I will give him a free pass until August 🤔😉

In 2023 zocht het opkomende Certus Rail Solutions krachtige elektrische locomotieven om goederentreinen en bijzondere transporten van A naar B te brengen. Ze kozen ervoor om drie locomotieven van de NMBS over te nemen, afkomstig uit de iconische reeks 27. De locs droegen de nummers 2707, 2731 en 2753AA. Enkel de 2707 en 2731 waren bedoeld om effectief diensten te verzekeren; de 2753AA werd gebruikt als onderdelenleverancier.
De twee 27’ers werden drie jaar lang intensief ingezet voor talloze transporten, waaronder hun bekende wekelijkse Sinterodolimiet-trein vanuit Roosendaal naar Gent en Ghlin, het trekken van de European Sleeper in februari, en een TSP fotorit.
Nu de NMBS na bijna 44 jaar afscheid neemt van dit type locomotieven, met nog amper zes exemplaren in dienst, leefde de hoop om in 2026 nog te kunnen genieten van de 2707 en 2731, ditmaal in goederendienst. Helaas kregen ze de afgelopen maanden steeds vaker te maken met technische problemen, waardoor hun betrouwbaarheid in vraag werd gesteld. In september 2025 namen DBC en SETG de Sinterodolimiet over en werden de reeks 27-locs nog maar zelden ingezet, wat duidelijk maakte dat het einde nabij was.
Op 6 oktober 2025 werd officieel bekendgemaakt dat Certus de 2707 en 2731 uit dienst heeft genomen. Om afscheid te nemen keren we even terug naar april 2025: twee dagen na de TSP-fotorit mocht het duo opnieuw de Sinterodolimiet trekken naar Saint-Ghislain, uitzonderlijk via een omleiding langs Wetteren en verder naar Vorst. Na een mislukte poging in Nispen gingen we meteen in de achtervolging; na wat vloeken en bidden kon ik deze bekende samenstelling eindelijk eens in de zon op foto vastleggen!
Het is 11:45 als de Certus 2707 in treinschakeling met de 2731 de sinterdolimiet door Wetteren trekken op hun weg naar Vorst en Saint Ghislain. Vaaarwel!
