Last of my swervy/curvy series finds a construction shoo-fly in place along the Hudson River just north of Peeksill, NY while a replacement bridge to an aging draw bridge is built. This is the Conrail Pougkeepsie local returning south to Croton on a bitter January day in 1997.

every morning this place is filled up with fog. this mythical phenomenon is created in the following manner: the bottom of the basin, although the surface is dry, contains a lot of groundwater, and the evaporation of the water over the night forms fog.

The connection of the river Bedón with the sea generates this tongue of stones for the use and enjoyment of its visitors.
After experiencing air issues in Manville Yard, the Q410-14 dug their mid-train DPU out (ES44AH 1776) and placed it on the head end of the train to rectify the issue. This caused significant delays on the Trenton Line, which allowed them to make daylight on the River Sub. Pictured is Q410 passing the Q157 at Ridgefield Park with all three Spirit engines on the head end.

Credit goes to Saber Scorpion for the design of the elites shown in this picture.

From my Red Water series...I found this holly leaf perched on a small rock in the stream. It reminded me of a coracle that had been pulled ashore. A tricky one to compose, shoot and process; this is focus stack of 2.5, 5 and 15s exposures.
VWH2098 LK15CWW seen at Finchley Central working on route N20 towards Barnet Church and then Barnet Hospital.
At a driver's request, the route is temporarily extended to Barnet Hospital to transport any hospital workers using the route overnight. The slipboard regarding the extension is noted on the front window.
Nothing better than getting lost in the woods on a foggy day, looking for a particular composition. Early autumn that already gives me satisfaction, waiting for the most beautiful colors of the year.
This pretty frog has smooth, bright skin, generally green, although there are also specimens that are brown or yellowish. A characteristic trait is the black line running from the edges of the eyes, with horizontal pupils, to the back of the eardrum. It also has suckers on the toes of its front and rear legs.
Its cryptic colouring, blending with the vegetation where it lives, is a strategy to foil predators.
Its area of distribution ranges from North Africa to southwest Europe. On the Iberian Peninsula, populations are concentrated in specific points of Andalusia, Catalonia, the Basque Country and Minorca. This species is quite generalist, living in all types of temporary and permanent bodies of water and a large variety of environments.
They primarily feed on insects as adults, while the tadpoles scratch the surfaces of aquatic plants or walls to absorb detritus, algae, etc.
To attract females during the reproductive period, the males emit their croaking songs en masse. The female lays 140 to 680 eggs in small clusters of 3 or 4, which stick to plants under the water. The tadpoles hatch after 8 to 15 days, completing metamorphosis 2 or 3 months later.

A look at the downtown Broken Arrow on Main Street getting ready for the Rumble in Rose District. The fight ring was assembled on the corner of Commercial and Main. Temporary fence to keep out those with no ticket.
the snow-wave reformed in this morning’s snow and wind — but now conditions are turning to rain and it will soon be wilting again
The water takes over the fields almost overnight. The wind helps the waves to conquer the land faster and faster.

Last August the vital Rheintalbahn between Karlsruhe and Basel was closed for two weeks in order to connect a long delayed segment of a new bypass around the city of Rastatt. In 2017 during the construction of said bypass, a tunnel under the existing mainline caved in closing the line for several weeks as railway undertakings scrambled to reroute their trains on poorly suited bypass routes, often with diesel power. For this planned closure, many lessons from the 2017 incident were taken into account and alternative routes were set up for freight. The most interesting diversion was via the French left Rhine railway via the border station in Lauterbourg. The line, while double track on the French side, is only used for relatively sparse commuter services and sees only a small amount of local freight. During the Rastatt closure, months of planning and preparation allowed for approximately approximately 10 trains a day to use the corridor. The trains were organized by a group of Swiss rail undertakings, with locomotives largely from SNCF Fret. Each train operated with both a German and French speaking driver, allowing for operation without crew changes at the borders.
For photographers the most interesting location was by far the station at Lauterbourg which is still controlled by mechanical semaphore signals. After a quick stop, BB 75000 475124 departs Lauterbourg with a SBB 482 in tow.
