Zu den wohl ungewöhnlichsten Anschlussgleisen im Hexagon gehört zweifelsohne dasjenige des Lafarge-Zementwerks im südfranzösischen Port-la-Nouvelle (vgl. www.flickr.com/photos/132444999@N07/31954363012/in/album-... ). Es zweigt am nordwestlichen Bahnhofskopf von den Hauptgleisen ab und führt in einem engen Bogen mitten hinein in die Lagunenlandschaft der Étangs, vorbei an Fischerhütten und deren in buntesten Farben schillernden Booten. Als Lagerraum hat - wenn ich das Objekt in Bildmitte richtig deute - sogar der Aufbau eines ehemaligen Kühlwagens in dem illustren Sammelsurium überlebt...
Nachdem die ITE (das steht für "Installation Terminale Embranchée", das französische Äquivalent zum Anschlussgleis) über ein Jahrzehnt ungenutzt und dem Verfall und Bewuchs preisgegeben war, erweckte Lafarge sie Ende 2016 wieder zum Leben. Hintergrund war die zeitgleiche Reduzierung der Unternehmensaktivität am Standort La Couronne bei Angoulême, wo seit Anfang 2017 nur noch die Zementmühle (Broyage) zur Zerkleinerung des bereits zuvor gebrannten Zementklinkers in Betrieb ist. Letzterer wird seitdem per Bahn vom Standort Port-la-Nouvelle aus zugeführt. www.railpassion.fr/reseaux-francais/lite-lafarge-de-port-...
Mit der Durchführung der zwei- bis dreimal pro Woche stattfindenden Transporte ist Europorte betraut, wobei vor den 1.500 Tonnen schweren Zügen aufgrund der nötigen Rangierarbeiten an den Endbahnhöfen - u.a. auf "unserem" Anschlussgleis - trotz des komplett elektrifizierten Hauptlaufs eine der beindruckenden Euro 4000-Großdieselloks des Unternehmens zum Einsatz gelangt.
Am Morgen des 23. September 2021 war €4034 pünktlich mit dem Leerzug 60201 (Angoulême - Port-la-Nouvelle) am Zielbahnhof eingetroffen. Keine zehn Minuten nach der Ankunft - die Rangiercrew war extrem fix - drückte sie die Wagenschlange bereits quer durch die Lagune in Richtung der Beladestelle auf dem Werksgelände, wo ebenso rasch die Beladung mit Klinker abgewickelt werden und der Vollzug sich noch im Laufe des Vormittags wieder auf die Rückreise machen wird.
Los fenicios ya conocían esta cueva que, vista desde el frente, tiene la forma del continente africano, como puede apreciarse en la imagen. No obstante, su nombre y fama nos lleva a tiempos inmemoriales y mitológicos: según los griegos, el gran héroe Heracles (el Hércules romano) pernoctó aquí antes de emprender su undécimo trabajo, es decir, robar las manzanas en el Jardín de las Hespérides, un jardín que la tradición sitúa precisamente cerca de aquí, en Lixus. Y aquí luchó con Anteo (fundador de la ciudad de Tánger), a quien venció y encerró en sus galerías.
Se trata de una gran cueva con entrada desde el mar y desde tierra, formada por la erosión del mar y del viento, aunque también las ha modelado el hombre en su afán de extraer las bellas piedras de las paredes, como puede todavía apreciarse por las hendiduras hechas con las herramientas en la roca.

I found this sun-blistered painting depicting a Tang dynasty ensemble of musicians in this random village on the border of Beijing and the adjacent Hebei province while on a biking/photo outing.
I found this village not far from Song Zhuang (the world's largest artist village on the eastern edge of Beijing) while out on a random outing (Pre-pandemic days). It was an interesting experience for me to find this secluded little village on the other side of a small river which was only accessed by crossing a small bridge. Despite being situated next to a huge world metropolis the people here seemed detached from the outside and were quite surprised and slightly suspicious of me suddenly appearing as a big-nosed caucasian foreigner in their little village.
Once I got to chatting with them in their own language they immediately opened up and were very happy and curious to chat with me for a bit. The people here were fairly poor, yet the whole community felt very orderly and well looked after and the elderly community members were out on the street chatting and sitting in the warm summer soon, while others were hawking their wares streetside.
As it turned out, an artist from the nearby artist village had donated this painting to the village and they had proudly presented it at the entrance to the village. What struck me about this artwork was its authentically ancient feel and the natural decay that had set in from the elements which only added to the historic feel of this work.
The golden-yellowish tones and saturation in this image are slightly less pronounced than in the adjacent detail photo.

Blue tang is a species of surgeonfishes, named for the dagger-like spikes that can be erected on sides of the caudal peduncle, the narrow base of the tail. Blue tangs eat algae that are constantly colonizing the coral. Guanaja, Honduras.
No one was thrown off by the statue of a naked boy doing a handstand. Lots of parents were having their children pose with the statue. I had to document it. For this photo, about 10 or 15 Chinese people were photographing me doing this pose. I'm famous.
