I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas.

Good morning, Lord.
I'm not in a good mood, archangel.
What's the problem, Lord?
Humans. Their guns. The bullshit machismo non-stop killing.
Very troubling, isn’t it.
It's a sickness is what is. A defect in their nature. One for which they will pay.
Pay? How so,Lord?
Do I have to spell it out for you, archangel?
Well, you do work in. . . you know, mysterious ways.
This won't be so mysterious.
No?
Let's just say the Arcturans will be very pleased.
Ah, your latest world.
And a much improved one over its predecessor.
But Arcturans don't even know what guns are.
Right. They don't need to.

FIN 803 was arriving as FLE612 (Flair Airlines Ltd.) from Vancouver, British Columbia.
Flair Airlines currently operates 18 Boeing 737-8 MAX 8s and two Boeing 737-86Js. The latter pair wear the third version of the carrier's livery, while the MAX 8s wear the fourth version.
This is my third and last posting from my recent day out shopping. I very much enjoyed being out in the mainstream, going around the shops and having tea and cake as I watched the world go by. However, that enjoyment is not reflected in the photos. I felt relaxed and thought I was smiling and looking happy but that didn't translate. It's disappointing but not the end of the world. It's just the vanity pains of a late middle aged TGirl.
The rule of thirds is the first compositional rule most photographers learn; but most don't know why they learn it. The rule of thirds is amazing for telling a story.
I took a photo of this bird cleaning its beak with fresh snow before swooping back down again to get bird seeds from the ground.

And my third and final outfit in this fun little shoot. This was another skirt I shortened, that very same morning along with the grey pleated school skirt.
It was a satin midi skirt, but I never wore it because I have a number of faux leather skirts in the same style that I much prefer.
So, I thought a nice little skater skirt could be made out of it instead. It's guaranteed to get more wears that way ;-)
As with the grey skirt, I went for a length just under 14". I could have gone shorter, but I think this is a more appropriate length for wearing out when the pubs open again.
This intriguing observation from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a gravitationally lensed galaxy with the long-winded identification SGAS J143845+145407. Gravitational lensing has resulted in a mirror image of the galaxy near the center of this image, creating a captivating centerpiece. A third distorted image of the galaxy appears as a bridge between them.
Gravitational lensing occurs when the mass of an enormous celestial body – such as a galaxy cluster – curves spacetime and causes the path of light from distant objects to visibly bend around it, as if by a lens. Appropriately, the body causing the light to curve is called a gravitational lens, and the distorted background object is referred to as being "lensed.” Gravitational lensing can result in multiple images of the original galaxy, as seen in this image, or in the background object appearing as a distorted arc or even a ring. Another important consequence of this lensing distortion is magnification, allowing astronomers to observe objects that would otherwise be too far away or be too faint to see.
Hubble has a special flair for detecting lensed galaxies. The telescope's sensitivity and crystal-clear vision let it see faint and distant gravitational lenses that ground-based telescopes cannot detect because of the blurring effect of Earth's atmosphere. Hubble was the first telescope to resolve details within lensed images of galaxies and is capable of imaging both their shape and internal structure.
This particular lensed galaxy is from a set of Hubble observations that take advantage of gravitational lensing to peer inside galaxies in the early universe. The lensing reveals details that allow astronomers to better understand star formation in early galaxies, which gives scientists insight into how the overall evolution of galaxies unfolded.

Another Monochrome Monday offering this time from deep in the cane fields with a little mini 'street running' bonus!
In this lengthy post I shared a photo of the first Miami Canal crossing and some history of the canal and the railroad. If you're interested and missed it check out this image and caption: flic.kr/p/2nhFswT
Later that same day we are now at the second of the three rail crossings of the canal about 3.5 miles south deep in the middle of the sugar cane fields. My girlfriend did some excellent driving on the remote dusty private roads that lace the fields as I navigated via satellite imagery to find our way to assorted cane loaders, junctions and bridges as we hunted for trains in a massive area of fields equal to nearly half the area of our home state of Rhode Island!
This was one spot I really wanted to see as it is one of two 'street running' shared road/rail bridges found along the private US Sugar Railroad rails. Given my passion for 'trains in streets' as my gf likes to say this definitely counts in my quest to document those obscure locations 'where trains shouldn't be.'
While this bridge is shorter than the other one further east past Bryant Yard, this is very busy as it is on the new mainline through route that was opened in late 2021 when the Wetherald Line was extended east with 22 miles of new track and bridges to connect to the old Prewitt South Line. This created a 60 mile long private mainline connecting both halves of the USSC routes and eliminated the need for many of the Bryant Turns that were operated by thr SCFE to forward cane cars gathered on the eastern lines to the mill on the west.
This crossing is at MP 12 on the new 60 mile long contiguous USSC Clewiston Main. In addition to the pair of light units I shot here headed west we also saw two eastbound empty trains. This one is flying out toward a leader somewhere in the vast fields behind USSC 505 a rebuilt GP40-2 that began life as a straight GP40 originally blt. Jan. 1967 as Seaboard Air Line 642. After serving successors SCL, SBD, and CSXT it was retired and rebuilt with HEP and classified as a RP39-2C and spend nearly a decade hauling Virginia Railway Express commuter trains before another rebuild and a third life here in the cane fields.
