The pretty America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore, the Jolly Rover II and many other tall ships are credited with helping to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years
to come. Always a joy to see skimming across Key West Harbor.

Cornes de Loriaz (2726m) and Aguille de Loriaz (2752m) above Vallorcine, the first village in the Chamonix valley just after the Swiss border.
The shot was taken from the train en route from Martigny (Switzerland) to Chamonix (France) – one of the most spectacular train rides in Europe, I guess.
Two rivers run through Lyon : the Rhône, impetuous and spirited, which runs down from the Alps and its high and proud mountains, and the Saône, more gentle and quiet, which slowly runs down from the Vosges, a low mountain area located at the north of the Alps. This difference of character has had a remarkable impact on the organisation of Lyon : while the banks of the Rhône river have been converted into a mundane promenade in the last decade only, the banks of the Saône river have been inhabited for much longer, and they exhale a certain timelessness in the early morning that is quite unique.

Another from the first of two fabulous days of chasing trains along this beautiful railroad.
Instead of running all the way to Fabyans as in prior fall seasons, this year the Conway Scenic is running two daily round trips between North Conway and Crawfords with the addition of a third 'bus train' for passengers arriving by motor coach from Portland off a cruise ship as a day shore excursion. That means there are now six trains running through the Notch every day with a scheduled meet at Bartlett and Sawyers River. It is truly an astonishing and joyful site to witness on this hallowed line once given up for dead.
The 1:30 PM Mountainaineer is headed west as it crosses the 330 ft long twin span thru truss bridge over the Saco River at about MP 65.6 on the state owned former Mountain Sub. Ahead at Sawyers River they will meet the eastbound 1130 AM 'bus train' headed by GP35 216 and then dig into the 2.2% climb to the 1900 ft crest of the line at Crawford Depot at MP 85.
Leading the train are GP38s 252 and 255 which are right at home on these rails having been built in November 1966 for the Maine Central Railroad as part of an order of 13 of the model which were the first batch of second generation diesel locomotives purchased by the road. They both regularly operated here for the first 17 years of their lives until the last thru freight ran in 1983 after Guilford purchased the MEC and shuttered the Mountain Sub. In fact 252 had the ignominious duty of leading the final YR-1 from Saint Johnsbury on September 2, 1983.
255 came to Conway Scenic in 2022 and wore her Vermont Rail System red paint until just this past June when she received this new 'old' dress. The VTR red was from her nearly two decade second career as Clarendon & Pittsford 203 after having being sold by MEC successor Guilford Transportation in the early 1990s. 252 meanwhile was the last of her class in service on Guilford, lasting more than three decades, and having seen her other dozen siblings retired and scrapped or sold. She came to Conway Scenic in March 2010 along with GP35 216 in a trade with Pan Am Railways for FP9s 6505 and 6516 that would become Pan Am's OCS power.

The Tree Swallows seemed to have settled into their nesting boxes at Silverdale Creek Wetlands Park.
Fiskardo has two lighthouses near the entrance to the harbour. The older one is Venetian, built in the 16th century, the newer one was built in 1892. Several day cruise boats visit Fiskardo on their Ionian Island tour but they weren't busy last week.

Dream an answer all day
It’s gonna keep me from pain
Wild heat all around
I don’t look the same
Beat on wood, fly,
Ride and dream again
An invitation for
I don’t know the day
Feel the sun, that shine
So feel that sun liquefying
Hear your sough in time
So hear the sound that survives
Dream an answer all day
It’s gonna keep me from pain
Wild heat all around
I don’t look the same
Beat on wood, fly,
Ride and dream again
An invitation for
I don’t know the day
Feel the sound, that shine
So feel that sound liquefying
Hear your sough in time

Apologies but this was a handheld night shot, so was a bit of a challenge.
I got my Two Sisters print from Audrey Kawasaki and I think it's so beautiful! (#137/1060.) I can't wait to get it framed!

Two photos of the "Mira Two" enjoying the last full day of Summer in Downtown Victoria. This gorgeous 110-foot motor yacht was built by Riva S.p.A. in Italy in 2021. She is powered by 2 MTU engines, which give her a top speed of 26 kn. The yacht carries 14,700 litres (3,900 US gal.) of fuel on board. Absolutely beautiful!
