This picture was taken in Wood Buffalo National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site for the largest free-roaming herd of buffalo and protecting the only nesting site in the world of the endangered whooping cranes. It was one of the neatest places I have seen and I plan on going back! This picture depicts the tracks of buffalo in the salt plains. Taking my shoes off and walking on the salt plains barefoot was an interesting tactile experience.

Tracks. What else can I say?

Exo MR-90 car 406 is the lead unit on an inbound Deux-Montagnes Line train, seen arriving at Gare Grand-Moulin. This is one of a few single track sections of the line which are slated to be double tracked as part of the REM project.

Any disrespectful comments will be deleted!
The tracks of the old Boulder Tunnel are mostly gone, and some use it now for a roadway. Built in the 1890's and reaching over a mile through the mountain. Fun place to visit, although not easy to locate the first time.
As the tram tracks split to either side of the platform, wooden blocks are used. These fair much better than solid ones as they expand and contract without breaking as the trams pass by.

This built was intended as a gift to my friends, Zoe and Sky, that are responsible for Wild Track.
Their "mission is to protect endangered species using a unique combination of advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence, and traditional ecological knowledge."
They "specialize in footprint identification technology (FIT). Footprints are many times easier to find than the animals themselves, and now that" they "can decode them, they can inform us on where species are, and where their individuals roam."
Zoe's favourite animal is the rhinoceros and since back in July of 2021 I had built the tiny rhinoceros as part of my 3 Companions project, it seemed fit to start with him. So I had the little calf... all I needed was his mother.
Making a bigger animal meant that I would have to study the animal's anatomy... and that's when the questions started to line up... white rhino... black rhino... they are both grey... which one was I trying to build? One of the distinct traces of the tiny rhino I had previously built was the square lip, that is also a characteristic of the white rhino, while the black rhino has a pointed lip. So it was decided, I was building a white rhino. I than tried to incorporate the most of the real animal into my built, such as the hoofs, the muscles of the legs, the hump and curvature of the back.
All this investigation proved to be productive because when I first unveiled the built Sky said: "You know, this is a white rhino!"
That just made my day.
It was a pleasure to build this, not only because I wanted to create an unique gift for Zoe and Sky but also because it was a lot of fun and challenging to incorporate that amount of detail into such a small construction.
Enough talk go and check the wonderful work they do in www.wildtrack.org .
Sorry I haven't been posting or visiting you guys' streams much, I have caught the flu bug! :(
And to make things worse, I haven't gotten an MC to get a day off or anything, so I'm still working my butt off. Sigh.
Anyways, old shot of my sis, who was trying to dodge me, but I think I tracked this shot pretty well, at least the Superman sign is clear!!!! \m/
I want to do a photoshoot after my internship ends. I have so many ideas, but so little resources... :(
How are you guys holding up? January can be a bitch.
PS: do you see the reverse bungy structure in the background? :)

With blades on long arms and the elaborate sweeping mechanism, this thing looks like it is capable of doing everything from track repair to landscaping work in your back yard!
While I was on the road for my job, I came across a tracked dumper at a building site. And since I wanted to build a line of tracked vehicle's for a while, I decided to start with this. All other (way more ambitious) plans were put on hold. It was actually quite fun to design and learned me to work with the track links in LDD. If you like this , expect some more of this. In the last three pictures you see it on a purpose made trailer towed behind the good old M.A.N. 453 6X6 .
