Taken near the Continental Divide in Kootenay National Park, British Columbia.
A group of evergreens stands tall, unaffected by a snow squall on a mountain cliff behind them.
It's 2021, and CN is giving the C40-8s a last stand. After what was thought to be the end in 2020, almost all the Dash-8 locomotives were stored. CN sent some units to CAD Rail for minor repairs and upgrades. By the end of 2020, CN had pulled a decent chunk of the units back into service for one last stand.
Here, BCOL 4620, sporting a goofy-looking CN door, leads a main yard transfer down the New West Sub on a spring morning.
In October the mighty maple tree transforms it's leaves into magical colours while standing tall in the forest.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and happy day dear flickr friends !
For anyone who enjoyed the recent "Wolf Hall" books or TV adaptation, this will make a lot of sense:
"These angels were made in England by the Tuscan sculptor Benedetto da Rovezzano for the magnificent but never completed tomb commissioned by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. They were intended to stand atop nine-foot high columns at each corner of the tomb chest. After Wolsey's downfall, King Henry VIII appropriated them for his own tomb. This also remained unfinished."
With the failure of the class 56XX no.5643, ex-L&Y Aspinall designed 'Pug’ 1910 built Class ’21' 0-4-0ST no.19 acted as stand in. Here she storms through “Little Burrs”, Bury with the now delayed 16:20 Bury-Rawtenstall train.
ELR L&Y/LNWR Merger Centenary Weekend
On my wanders I’m always looking out for that prominent tree, the one that stands out within there surroundings and a couple of weeks ago I came across this perfectly placed sycamore. Now all we need now is a few more landscape photographers to take photos of it and make it a bit of an icon giving it’s location, which I’m sure is obvious to the keener eyed viewer, and then for some idiot to come along cut it down. Sorry for the dark humour.

The Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley are a harsh environment for plants of all kinds. In this picture, the five bushes stand together to survive the wind-driven sand that makes life difficult, as witnessed by the sticks standing in the background. I took this photo on our visit to Death Valley National Park in 2017.

The trees in this forest grow close together and receive support from each other. There is also little light in the forest and the amount of light decreases all the time as winter comes. The dim light of November was hazy twilight and twinkling beautifully between the trees. 👱♀️🎧🎶 Stand by Me ( Otis Redding ) Finland. On a dark grey November afternoon.
"Lost" by David Wagoner:
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

Stand and deliver!
I'm the dandy highwayman
You're too scared to mention
I spend my cash
On looking flash
And grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo
Your record collection
The way you look you'll qualify
For next year's old age pension
Stand and deliver
Your money or your life
HWOAH!
Try to use a mirror
Not a bullet or a knife
HWOAH!
I'm the dandy highwayman
So sick of easy fashion
The clumsy boots, peekaboo roots
That people think so dashing
So what's the point of robbery
When nothing is worth taking?
It's kind of tough to tell a scruff
The big mistake he's making
Stand and deliver
Your money or your life
HWOAH!
Try to use a mirror
Not a bullet or a knife
HWOAH!
And even though you fool your soul
Your conscience will be mine
All mine
We're the dandy highwaymen
So tired of excuses
Of deep meaning philosophies
Where only showbiz loses
We're the dandy highwaymen
And here's our invitation
Throw your safety overboard
And join our insect nation!
Stand and deliver
Your money or your life
HWOAH!
Try to use a mirror
Not a bullet or a knife
HWOAH!
And even though you fool your soul
Your conscience will be mine
All mine

Der Railpool-Vectron 6193 094 ist mit der Fabriknummer 23.000 nicht irgendeine Lokomotive, die runde Fahrgestellnummer wurde mit einer entsprechenden Beklebung und einer Feier im Werk München entsprechend gewürdigt. Am Morgen des 11. August 2022 stand schließlich die Abnahmefahrt an, und so konnte die Lok im Bahnhof München-Allach beim Rangieren fotografiert werden.
This is lit by hand in less than one second!
he past few months have been mostly about producing higher quality work. This is not very relevant for social media, but I'm obsessed with the idea of scaling up my images for some future projects.
This is a single exposure, fresh from today. Check out the close-up: twitter.com/ericpare/status/1587956945994108928 😱💙🌟

A very similar composition to previous shots from this place. Again, the different moods are fascinating.
The Last Stand
This is another image from my visit to Holme Fell last year and again a file I hadn't looked at before.
I love the feeling of this group of trees being almost pushed to the edge of a large drop. This was a really misty morning and took around 2 hours for the mist to burn through but still enough here to add a little bit of mood to the image.
I hope you like this one.

During the Electro Motive Division tour on September 26, 1989, the walk through the electrical department was quite interesting. Here, a state of the art AAR locomotive control stand is on display for the public view before it is installed into a new SD60.
