The steeple is on the wonk as the church is listing, the footings are giving way, but the old boys now long dead are propping up the foundations just to spite those that shut the church doors.
Long live their spirit, laughter and merriment.

Colour re-edit of a shot captured in January 2017.
I have myself a Caro Emerald 'Tangled Up' earworm now, but hope that you like this colour edit and that you all had an awesome weekend. Take care my Flickr friends.

Flickr Support have asked me to leave my photograph up if it does not appear in your 'update feed' and start generating views as I would normally expect. This is so that their engineers can try to get to the bottom of the issue that continues to plague my account.
As a result this image may have fewer views and favourites than would be expected for a time.
The ramp leading up to Queenscliff pier on the Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Not too much cloud around yesterday and even less people so had the place to myself!
The newest UP "Heritage Unit" leads a deadhead passenger car move Eastbound towards Council Bluffs. Here, it's passing the NCRC GILC-19 in Central City.
Bookended by five locomotives, eastbound tonnage slithers through Cache Creek Canyon as the headend approaches the Cameron cross-over. Leaving the open valley at the top of Tehachapi Pass, the railroad enters the defile at Eric and follows the normally dry Cache Creek to Warren, there the railroad parts with the mountains and plunges into the Mojave Desert.

UP C40-8 #9119 leads an all GE consist including an ex-MOP C36-7 and a C30-7 Westbound at Tobin in the Feather River Canyon in October of 1988.
Whether one thinks of this guy as ugly or beautiful, I think that he makes an interesting close up subject.
This shot was taken back in July for submission to the TD Bank employee photo contest for their annual "Friends of the Environment Foundation (FEF)" calendar. The theme for this year was Shades of Green and my photo was fortunate to be chosen amongst some great photos to be included in the Wall calendar version (there is also a desk calendar) for 2017.
FEF is a charitable foundation that funds and supports environmental initiatives nationally across Canada and in it's 25 years has funded more than 24,000 environmental projects. To learn more the link is:
If you live in Canada you can visit any TD Canada Trust branch and pick up a calendar!!
The RSJSOC (cement for Mexico) at Montoya, NM on the "Cotton Rock" on March 4th, 2023. Boy it was great to shoot something besides NS!
Some amazing storm/sunset light cast a crazy yellow glow over the area as UP 8426 shoves on the rear of a tank train through the signals at Flagg.
As I came across this scene, several options to immortalize it sprang to mind. I could invert myself and the camera and thus obtain the right-side-up version of this White-breasted Nuthatch. Intriguing, but given my advanced age and continually decreasing agility, I decided against this. Another, equally important, reason against this approach was that I did not want anybody to get the idea that it would be a good thing to come up with a new helmet law for photographers out in the field. Yes, you are welcome. The other option, naturally, was to just take the shot and then invert the image in Lightroom or similar software. Much more appealing. Well, I did end up using this option but decided to leave things in their natural state, mostly for documentation purposes. The advantage here would be that if I ever decided to join a group, the image would be less likely to be rejected due to my obsessively fiddling with the settings in Lightroom. This just recently happened to a bird photographer Down Under and has been weighing heavily on my mind ever since :-)
So much going on, from China's new AI technology package to our unseasonal weather change everywhere!
Here are two new visitors and a Gold Finch, sharing...They are Purple Finches that add a pretty new shade of colour!
Also 'Head's up" as I will be having surgery tomorrow and won't be posting much for a while...I will look at your posts and comment as I can, because they are too good to miss! :-)
Now, something to think about...
Why didn't the sun go to college?
Because he already has a million degrees!
Take care, everyone!
The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.

The Martorana Also Co-Cathedral of St. Mary of the Admiral[1] (Italian: Concattedrale Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio) is the seat of the parish of San Nicolò dei Greci (Albanian: Klisha e Shën Kollit së Arbëreshëvet), a Co-cathedral overlooking the Piazza Bellini in Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy.The church is renowned for its spectacular interior, which is dominated by a series of 12th century mosaics executed by Byzantine craftsmen.
The nave dome is occupied by the traditional Greek image of Christ Pantokrator surrounded by the archangels St Michael, St Gabriel, St Raphael and St Uriel.
The Huron & Eastern's 765 job shoves 89 cars out of the yard with SD40-2 #3486 and GP38-2 #3509. With on-going track work between Durand and Saginaw, the railroad is all kinds of messed up. Normally a daylight turn job, the 702 from Bay City has been arriving in Durand at or before sunrise. Instead of turning, the outbound train will sit in the yard until the night yard job, 765, comes on duty. Instead of their usual yard duties, 765 has been taking the train north to Bay City.
