A heads up from a friend informed me that the Grafton and Upton would be making their third revenue run over the Milford Industrial Track with two loads for Bluelinx in Bellingham. So instead of doing the responsible thing and having breakfast and then going to bed so I'd be rested for work that night I did the opposite and headed to Milford!
The one shot I wanted above all else was them swinging through Bellingham Junction, but when I got there I found the fresh snow u undisturbed so continued on up the line. I found them just as they were departing from the junction in Milford where their historic owned property meets this former New Haven branch line.
On a brilliantly cold clear winter day it was worthy of a little chase and I got them at three spots before they got to Bellingham Jct. where unfortunately they derailed ending my chase for the day as seen in this photo posted earlier: flic.kr/p/2kANeRg
Anyway, here was the first spot on the chase as the pair of pair of patched ex CSXT nee SCL MP15ACs (EMD blt. Feb. 1978) numbers 1191 & 1160 cross Howard St. at MP 35.5.

Penelope (the one who is cutting) speaks: “Look it’s easy Susie! A third for me, a third for you and a third for Hazel. There is no need to leave anything for your brother! And he won't be home for ages anyway”
Oh dear! LOL!
And do please forgive me for bending the prompt somewhat too! LOL! ((hugs))
ADAD September
Stagecoach's Gold concept has been adopted by their South West operations in Devon. Following on from the Torbay to Plymouth service (and Dartmouth variant) and the Torbay to Exeter, the 57 from Exeter to Exmouth was similarly converted.

i will argue that the "center of visual mass" is between the pine needle and its shadow, at about the one-third line on the left of the image.

Subió la cuesta en un suspiro, sin mirar atrás.
No quiso ver la cara del dueño de esos pasos que le seguían.

He climbed the hill in a heartbeat, without looking back.
He would not see the face of the owner of those footsteps following him.

Ayumi was unlucky in the recent Sexy Diva contest - one meagre vote!
She deserved another opportunity to shine.
It is said that blondes have more fun, but do they achieve less success too? ;-)
Nah. :-)
Third Avenue | East 49th Street 30/04/2015 13h28
The corner of the Third Avenue and East 49th Street in the Turtle Bay neighbourhood. Don't block the box!
Turtle Bay
Turtle Bay is a neighborhood in New York City, on the east side of Midtown Manhattan. It extends from either 41st or 43rd Streets to 53rd Street, and eastward from Lexington Avenue to the East River's western branch, facing Roosevelt Island.
The neighborhood is the site of the headquarters of the United Nations and the Chrysler Building. The Tudor City apartment complex is also considered to be within Turtle Bay.
Turtle Bay, a cove of the East River, received its name in the 17th century by its resemblance in shape to that of a knife, "deutal" being Dutch for "knife". The cove, which was filled in after the Civil War,[2] was a valuable shelter from the often harsh weather on the river, and became a thriving site for shipbuilding.

Third Street at Bryant, San Francisco. Red patches indicate bike zones, I guess. Most people prefer to drive cars on roads, especially in the rain.

St. Paul the Apostle is a very revered saint in the Sicilian town of Palazzolo Acreide, the feast in his honor is celebrated on two occasions (very important periods if referring to peasant civilization), on 29 June (the day I took this photo story this year 2025) date of his martyrdom, and January 25, the date of his conversion to Christianity. The "summer party" of June 29, begins with a particular collection of donut-shaped bread (in Sicilian called "cuddura"), donated by the villagers and collected on a cart, this is the "round of bread", these loaves (called "di San Paolo") have decorations that recall snakes: the reference is always to San Paolo, considered the protector from the poisonous bites of vipers, this is the ancestral legacy of an ancient peasant civilization, the wheat harvest period that coincides with the feast, it makes working in sunburnt fields particularly dangerous; once there were characters to whom supernatural gifts were attributed, they were called "ciarauli", capable of protecting from the venomous bites of the viper (This year, a very nice man of Palazzolo Acreide, who was also present last year, was present at the feast to recall these ancient figures. Instead of little snakes, as was once the custom, he had with him a very calm python, also because it was full). The procession takes the name of "sciuta", with reference to the "exit" from the basilica of San Paolo of two floats, first the float comes out with the relic of the saint, carried on the shoulders by the devotees, immediately after, at 13.00 o'clock the exit of the float takes place with the ancient statue of Saint Paul holding a sword in his hand (the iconography represents him with the sword for two reasons, he was beheaded with a sword stroke, and because he, referring to the word of God, defined it more effective and sharper than a double-bladed sword), at this point they begin among the most spectacular and evocative pyrotechnic games that I have ever seen, we witness a phantasmagoric and kaleidoscopic explosion of colors made with enormous colored confetti and with colored ribbons about two meters long called 'nzareddi, which recall the shape and movement of snakes. During the procession we witness the rite of children who, often completely naked, are taken by their parents by the expert hands of two devotees present on the float, they are thus placed in front of St. Paul to ask for his intercession and protection, sometimes these children are adorned with paper money, in fact, the donation of money is part of the rites that accompany the procession. Among these rites is the vow of the "bare shoulder" made by devout bearers, and that of women who walk barefoot by vow. The procession with the two floats then arrives, as a sign of devotion, in the church of the Annunziata.
San Paolo Apostolo è un santo molto venerato nel paese siciliano di Palazzolo Acreide, la festa in suo onore viene celebrata in due occasioni (periodi molto importanti se riferiti alla civiltà contadina), il 29 giugno (giorno in cui ho realizzato quest’anno 2025 questo foto-racconto) data del suo martirio, ed il 25 gennaio, data della sua conversione al cristianesimo. La “festa estiva” del 29 giugno, inizia con una particolare raccolta di pane a forma di ciambella (in siciliano detta “cuddura”), donato dai paesani e raccolto su di un carretto, questo è il “giro del pane”, questi pani (detti “di San Paolo”) presentano delle decorazioni che richiamano i serpenti: il riferimento è sempre a San Paolo, ritenuto il protettore dai morsi velenosi delle vipere, questo è il retaggio ancestrale di un’antica civiltà contadina, il periodo della mietitura che coincide con la festa, rende particolarmente pericoloso il lavoro nei campi arsi dal sole; una volta esistevano dei personaggi a cui si attribuivano doti sovrannaturali, erano chiamati “ciarauli”, capaci di proteggere dai morsi velenosi della vipera (quest’anno era presente nella festa, a rievocare queste antiche figure, un simpaticissimo Palazzolese, presente anche l'anno scorso, che al posto delle bisce, come si usava una volta, aveva con se un docilissimo pitone, anche perchè satollo). La processione prende il nome di “sciuta”, con riferimento alla “uscita” dalla basilica di San Paolo di due vare, dapprima esce la vara con la reliquia del santo, portata in spalla dai devoti, subito dopo, alle 13,00 in punto avviene l’uscita della vara con l’antica statua di San Paolo che stringe una spada in pugno (l’iconografia lo rappresenta con la spada per due motivi, egli fu decapitato con un colpo di spada, e perché egli, riferendosi alla parola di Dio, la definiva più efficace e più tagliente di una spada a doppia lama), a questo punto iniziano tra i più spettacolari e suggestivi giochi pirotecnici che io che io abbia mai visto, si assiste ad una fantasmagorica e caleidoscopica esplosione di colori realizzati con enormi coriandoli colorati e con dei nastri colorati lunghi circa due metri chiamati ‘nzareddi, che richiamano la forma ed il movimento dei serpenti. Durante la processione si assiste al rito dei bambini che, molto spesso completamente nudi, vengono presi dai genitori dalle esperte mani di due devoti presenti sulla vara, vengono così messi al cospetto di San Paolo a chiederne la sua intercessione e protezione, a volte questi bimbi sono adornati con della carta moneta, infatti la donazione di denaro fa parte dei riti che accompagnano la processione. Tra questi riti c’è il voto della “spalla nuda” fatto dai devoti portatori, e quello delle donne che per voto camminano scalze. La processione con le due vare giunge poi, in segno di devozione, nella chiesa dell’Annunziata.
