After frequent prodding by Garshna to check out Burroughs 3, I decided the hottest day of the year was the best time to set off on the driest, most exposed trail I've ever hiked.... :-) Karen Sykes called it a thigh burner and she was right. It's only nine miles out and back, but you have to climb Burroughs 2 twice with an elevation gain of 2,600 feet. On my way back a guy asked me if it was worth the hike since the view was so amazing from 2 already, I laughed, hesitated for just a moment because I'd already decided that I'm not going back unless my daughter makes me, but yes. If you can get there you simply must, the last bit is steep as heck and dang Burroughs 2 is between you and the parking lot, but the views are astounding...oh and if you wear shorts, put the sunblock on your legs too.... :-)
I hesitate to say 'blow it up' because it is a volcano so.... enlarge it and step into my little world. :-)
Bogaczewo is one of the coolest stations in the general proximity of Gdańsk, when you only count in those, where there actually is regular traffic. All that thanks to the array of semaphores at the entrance from the direction of Pasłęk/Braniewo. The impressive 10 meter tall structures with 5 meter distant signals (a huuge rarity nowadays!) provide an interesting background for any picture taken here.
This picture of the EP07-365 with the IC 58106 "Gryf" on hook was taken exactly from the place where the old broad gauge track from Kaliningrad used to run. The line terminated in Bogaczewo and was partially dismantled in the 1990s and 2000s. Now the broad gauge only reaches to Chruściel. A nice reminder of the old 1520mm line was a third semaphore signal, which would be sitting to the left of the frame. As opposed to the ones currently standing, the third signal was noticeably smaller with a height of 8 meters. It was dismantled around the year 2020.

No shelter here for man or beast where the animals and their handlers share the same harsh conditions under the desert sun. This was the scene at the desolate passing loop of Tmeimitschatt where the loco was shunting a mixed consist of wagons, perhaps unusual as an iron ore train had derailed some kilometres to the west blocking the line.
I couldn’t determine which direction the train was headed, but I guess most of the livestock only had a one-way ticket.

The third train of the morning put on less of a show since it wasn't crusing through at track speed over the century mark. Wickford Junction bound Keolis/MBTA train 809 is slowing for their station stop as they approach MP 197 on Track 3 of Amtrak's New Haven Line behind utilitarian MPI HSP46 2011.
At the right center edge in the background, partially obscured by the catenary poles and signal for BORO interlocking, is the old wooden tower that was known as SS165 in NH days. Allegedly constructed in 1898, it was relocated here when the NH undertook their massive grade separation project through town and built their two new stations between 1903 and 1906.
This tower also holds the distinction of being the last in service on the corridor in MA, not closing down until 1993. Amazingly it survives a quarter century later despite regular reports of its imminent demise.
At left stands the brick Second Congregational Church that was constructed in 1904 on Park Street looking over this scene. The congregation dates from 1748 and is a daughter church of the First Congregational Church in the old town section of North Attleborough. This is actually the third structure in which congregants have gathered. Originally located in a meeting house on what is now the common, Second Congregational had a stately white clapboard building built in 1825 which was removed in the early 1950s to make way for the addition of a new Fellowship Hall and education rooms. The clock in the tower of this third building was owned originally by the city but now belongs to the church and surprisingly seems to be keeping perfect time.

Once again the Fast 5 were unsuccessful in their hunting this day. I often thought as I watch these many failed chases that all the vehicles moving around the animals affected their hunting success.

It took three attempts to get a loco in the sunshine on this afternoon. Finally 67020 appeared at the same time as the sun, working 1V42 12:30 Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Central.
Looking south from Boulder, Colorado's First Flatiron one has a real sense of just how precipitous this perch is!
On the left hand of the Virgin Mary, the second from her (in the photo, the first on the left), a handsome old man with a long gray beard - a tireless researcher of Kyiv shrines, the cathedral archpriest of St. Sophia Cathedral Pyotr Lebedintsev, a teacher at the Richelieu Lyceum, an archaeologist and historian, a connoisseur of Byzantium, a highly educated person, appears as a wise old man, frozen in majestic calm.
On the left hand of the Virgin Mary, the third from her (in the photo, the second from the left), in the image of the Apostle Luke, the young apostle, has an undeniable resemblance to Vrubel himself. According to the icon-painting tradition, this place was usually assigned to the Apostle Luke, who was not only a disciple of Christ and an evangelist, but also an icon painter, the author of the first pictorial image of the Mother of God. It is symbolic that Vrubel sees himself in the place of Luka, that is, in the place of an icon painter.
По левую руку Девы Марии, второй от неё, (на фото первый слева), в образе апостола Иоанна, благообразный старец с длинной седой бородой – неутомимый исследователь киевских святынь, кафедральный протоиерей Софийского собора Пётр Лебединцев, преподаватель Ришельевского лицея, археолог и историк, знаток Византии, высокообразованный человек, предстаёт мудрым старцем, застывшим в величавом спокойствии.
Пётр Гаврилович Лебединцев - Кафедральный протоиерей Киевского Софийского собора. Церковный историк и археолог, основатель Исторического общества Нестора-летописца, почетный член Киевской духовной академии.
Коли у травні труна з тілом Тараса прибула до Києва, значну частину клопотів з поховання узяв на себе Петро Лебединцев, який був священиком у Подільському Успенському соборі Києва. 20 травня у церкві Різдва Христового на Подолі отець Петро відслужив панахиду за покійним Тарасом. Отець Феофан разом зі своїм братом Петром проводжали земляка в останню путь до пароплава, який доставив прах Шевченка з Києва до Канева.
«Зовнішність отця Петра була настільки виразною, що саме з нього художник Михайло Врубель, під час розпису Кирилівської церкви, вирішив писати одного з апостолів композиції «Зішестя Святого Духа». «По ліву руку Богоматері, другий від неї, благовидний старий із довгою сивою бородою – це кафедральний протоієрей Софійського собору П. Г. Лебединцев, археолог і історик, знавець Візантії, високоосвічена людина».

По левую руку Девы Марии, третий от неё, (на фото второй слева), в образе апостола Луки, молодой апостол, имеет несомненное сходство с самим Врубелем. По иконописной традиции это место отводилось обычно апостолу Луке, который был не только учеником Христа и евангелистом, но и иконописцем, автором первого живописного образа Богоматери. Символично, что Врубель видит себя на месте Луки, то есть на месте художника-иконописца.
Я із захопленням дивлюся на образи, написані Врубелем і навіть не намагаюся осягнути його далекий загадковий світ, в якому він по-своєму бачив красу і намагався розповісти про неї сучасникам. Новий технократичний світ оточує нас. І я боюся, що тонка нитка Аріадни, що тягнеться до розуміння геніального світу Врубеля, стає все більш примарною і буде втрачена назавжди.
Once again the Fast 5 were unsuccessful in their hunting this day. Here one of the 5 gives it another go.

3rd Cascade
Meadow Creek
Mill Springs
Wayne County
Kentucky
What I love about Meadow Creek is, as you walk upstream you're greeted by scene after scene of beauty. After climbing up the the 2nd cascade and walking several feet you come to the next drop. Although not tall, 4 feet or so, it makes for a wonderful foreground as you see the final cascade in the distance. The spring greens were really popping here and I couldn't resist a few shots before moving on and shooting the last. Truly, Kentucky at it's best.

He is my second favorite client to photograph. Zoe the Boxer being the first and Teddy the Wheaten a close third. His back yard was recently fenced in giving me more choice of backgrounds. Buster(his brother), is off sniffing the flowers close by. (client)

For someone who has not been to Galveston Island in many years, I was expecting the place to be dingier, the beaches dirty and stinky like they used to be. The good news is the "Third Coast" is first class. Kudos to the volunteers and other crews that keep it clean. It inspired me to do my part taking out a couple of plastic bottles and cups left in the sand.
The picture does not reflect it but it was extremely windy and the fine sugar like sand kept blasting onto my face and into my eyes. It took quite a few tries and a little bit of sacrificing ideal camera settings to achieve this result. What helped was remembering how I shoot classical dance performances to capture these beach beauties in their act.
Healthy colonies of Beach sunflower (Helianthus debilis) looked cheery and had their fresh faces to the soft morning Sun.
The plant that I posted recently has already sprouted two additional leaves, perhaps with one or two more on the way.

My Best Congratulations Andrea... A si biri Capitano :-)
For Sardinia, for Italy... :-) GREAT INDEED....
Andrea Mura arrived in A Coruna in gentle southwesterly winds crossing the finish line at 2:44 pm local time (13:44 UTC) after 120 days and 44 minutes since his departure on November 18th. He achieved his held dream and, as he put it, this circumnavigation gave him back as much as he had to give to achieve it and feels he is totally at peace with himself now, happy to be back and happy to see family and friends. It was another long day and we’ll follow this up with a longer article as usual, for the time being we just wish to congratulate Andrea on his enormous achievement. Cole Brauer handed him the trophy and it was another emotional day for the skippers of the Global Solo Challenge.

Late last winter after some good rain, Third Falls in the Morialta Conservation Park had just the right amount of water flowing to show off the greens of the gorge.
