I have been privileged to have a family of Sulphur Crested Cockatoo's hang around my house for a few days. South Australia.
Dune path in Amado beach (Praia do Amado) near Carrapateira, a famous surfing spot in south-western Portugal.
I really thought the snow was going to last longer than it did. So I have quite a few to still post or i guess i can save them for next December....

A title with more than one meaning. The history of the Clinchfield makes it the most "modern" route in American Railroading. The C&O between Russell and Elkhorn City, KY already existed, and at the turn of the Century entities laid out plans to make a hyper efficient route to the Southeast. No such route existed.
The story of the Pikeville cut also continues with the theme of straight shootin'. I believe the Chessie along with the Commonwealth of Kentucky planned to bypass downtown Pikeville in the 70s. The subsequent route is pictured here with US 23 and the Levisa Fork also jammed in there. M693 is moments away from yarding at Shelby. A new crew will come on board later during the night. A soppy one at that...

Bei diesem Anblick stieg eisig Kälte in mir auf.......
Die noch nie zuvor in Europa vollständig gezeigte Installation „Straight“ besteht aus 164 Tonnen Armierungseisen, die Ai Weiwei nach dem verheerenden Erdbeben von Sichuan 2008 aus eingestürzten Schulgebäuden bergen ließ. Tausende Schulkinder verloren damals ihr Leben unter den Trümmern. In einem zeitaufwendigen Prozess wurden die verbogenen Stahlstäbe wieder geradegebogen – daher auch der englische Titel „Straight“, der so viel wie „zurechtgerückt“ oder „geradeheraus“ meinen kann. Die große Menge des Materials ist eine massive Mahnung an die Katastrophe und den Verdacht, dass Schlamperei, Verantwortungslosigkeit und Korruption Gründe für den Einsturz der Schulgebäude waren.
Im K20 in Düsseldorf präsentiert der Künstler das Werk in einer neuen Form. Das vollständige Material der ursprünglichen Installation zeigt er nun in geöffneten Transportkisten, deren Anordnung dem Verlauf einer seismographischen Linie folgt. Mit diesem Raumbild sind sowohl die Zweifel angesichts des wieder zur Verfügung gestellten Materials als auch Trauer im Hinblick aufgereihter Särge assoziierbar.

My soul was crushed, icy cold overwhelmed my heart as I saw these endless rows of coffins ...

The "Straight" installation, which has never before been shown in full in Europe, consists of 164 tons of reinforcing iron, which Ai Weiwei recovered from collapsed school buildings after the devastating earthquake in Sichuan in 2008. Thousands of schoolchildren lost their lives under the rubble. In a time-consuming process, the bent steel rods were straightened again - hence the English title "Straight", which can mean "straightened" or "straight out". The large amount of material is a massive reminder of the catastrophe and the suspicion that sloppiness, irresponsibility and corruption were reasons for the collapse of the school buildings.
At the K20 in Düsseldorf, the artist presents the work in a new form. He now shows the complete material of the original installation in open transport boxes arranged along a seismographic line. This spatial image can be associated both with doubts about the material made available again and with mourning with regard to coffins lined up in rows.

While looking for lonely trees in blizzard conditions, I was hoping for a gnarly tree with unique character. Then I saw this tree and decided there was something to be admired for standing straight and tall against the elements. For Sliders Sunday, I did a B&W conversion with strong contrast, lightened up the scene without taking away too much of the texture of the snow, and then added grain to keep with the fine veil of snow hanging over the field.
