Carl Fredricksen's flying house.
I loved the movie and while it's unrealistic I loved the image of the flying house, just carried by balloons.
My supply of colourful bricks is very limited, so I went with a scaled version and I'm more than happy how it turned out.
After a head scratchingly slow trip through Council Bluffs and Omaha, 1943 heads for points south with an engineering special just after glorious morning sunshine was obscured by high clouds moving in from the south. Things that make you pull your hair out!
A little climb up the side of this hill and I thought this might just work for today!!

54" for Norden…between 00:00 on Monday January 9th and 00:00 Tuesday January 10th 54" of fresh snow fell at Norden at the top of Union Pacific's Sierra crossing. While not the most snow recorded in a 24-hour period (top 2 or 3) it did showcase Union Pacific's snow fighters, who kept the Sierra open to commerce under the ever growing snow pack. A few days after the big dump a eastbound Union Pacific manifest climbs through Norden moments from entering the west portal of 'the big hole' (tunnel 41).

Ouvert en 2018, le concours Close-up Photographer of the Year vise à mettre en exergue les plus belles photos en macro, en proxiphotographie, ou en microphotographie.
Les photos primées offrent ainsi une plongée extraordinaire dans le monde fascinant de l’infiniment petit, des plantes aux insectes en passant par les champignons – et bien plus encore.
Cette année, les organisateurs de ce concours ont reçu plus de 9000 participations, de photographes venus de 55 pays. Le jury était composé de professionnels de l’image, spécialisés dans la photographie de nature.
Bien le bonjour les artistes 😉

Two ratty looking geeps drag UP 4141 and the casket car up from the BNSF Gibson Yard. On it's way back from being displayed, the UP has to pass though Gibson Yard and use the mainline to get back to home track.
Although George was actually trailing, the crew left the lights on making this shot actually look decent.
'Route of the Streamliners' via the 'Mainline through the Rockies'.
17 of Union Pacific's finest hold-outs from the 'Streamliner' era are surrounded by the Pagodas Canyon's ruby red cliffs on the former D&RGW Dotsero cut-off. The special train is making a round trip run between Denver-Dotsero-Denver and is now returning eastbound having just highballed Dotsero, CO a few minutes previous. Today the breathe-taking scenery found on the former Rio Grande in Colorado (and Utah), including this narrow passage in the mountains which the Colorado River and railroad share space, can still be viewed daily from onboard the California Zephyr….albeit Amtrak's California Zephyr.

Eastbound tonnage bound for North Platte, Nebraska climbs the Sierra just below Troy. The center foreground was once the #2 main track right of way that pierced Sierra granite via tunnel 40. After the decision was made to abandon tunnel 40, the new alignment followed the original CP (track 1) alignment around the outside of the mountain.

179/365 Norah showing a bit of twin love and trying to cheer up Benny who was feeling a bit under the weather.
UP 3035 leads a westbound manifest train around the curve near MP 59 on the UP Kansas Sub this evening. Another EMD Tier IV leading a train in the humid evening air with the smoke of the wildfires in the west giving the sunset a different glow.
My cousin Penny doggedly trying to finish a smartphone “Alice in Wonderland” clue-driven game that we started in the city. Alas it was neither well-designed or interesting, so I lost interest early on and started taking photos instead while Penny insisted on continuing. She finally gave up after 4 hours.
This squirrel was sunning his backside on a maple tree branch. It was about 30 feet up the tree.
