I know the horizon is a bit wonky but this is how I shot it...found a piece of thin ice in our bird bath and loved the texture of it.
X474AHE the former Whippet scania in use on the 181 with connexions just having come through one of the arches at Castle Howard. Stephenson's interworked this route with other services so the timings require two buses as the end to end points don't match with trips. Hopefully whatever happens to this service a more sensible schedule can be worked out.
For anyone wondering what this is exactly, I'll try to explain.
While at Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park this evening I noticed there had formed a shelf of frozen pebbles caused no doubt by the frigid temperatures coupled with waves from the lake undercutting the shore. From below this undercut hung hundreds of small icicles. As it was a sunny day today, the stones were heating up ever so slightly, and in this case, the stone had fallen out of the ice and icicle surrounding it.

Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice appears under your feet.
Having spent longer than usual working the mines, train 308 thunders out of Timmins, it's two big SD70Ms unafraid of the thin ice.

Kingfishers (Alcedo atthis) or Alcedinidae are a family of small to medium-sized, brightly colored birds in the order Coraciiformes. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species found in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The family contains 114 species and is divided into three subfamilies and 19 genera. All kingfishers have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and stubby tails. Most species have bright plumage with only small differences between the sexes. Most species are tropical in distribution, and a slight majority are found only in forests. They consume a wide range of prey usually caught by swooping down from a perch. While kingfishers are usually thought to live near rivers and eat fish, many species live away from water and eat small invertebrates. Like other members of their order, they nest in cavities, usually tunnels dug into the natural or artificial banks in the ground. Some kingfishers nest in arboreal termite nests. A few species, principally insular forms, are threatened with extinction. In Britain, the word "kingfisher" normally refers to the common kingfisher.

I think this building on the University of Houston campus might have housed equipment that needed to be vented. As a consequence, these steel slats are supposed to be functional, but they were also very intriguing in the abstract. A little color overlay and voila!
They say most of the things remaining after a storm are thin or tiny, or both. A giant old oak tree might be torn down, yet a tiny flower with a thin stem might stand tall. A few petals might have gone with the blow, but it stays alive.
Aren't we all? It seems much of the world is on thin ice right now, afraid to breath least we crack the precarious balance that we cling to. But hey, thin ice is better than no ice at all, yes?!? There's always something to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! Count your blessings!!
