Test roll with a new second plastic fantastic Holga. This one has more corner/edge blur, and will most likely be my b/w Holga.

The remote job pulls a string of racks out of the yard towards the port on a Saturday evening. The fisherman were not impressed.
The twin bridges of I-680 flank the Cal-P in the background.
We're doing the crate shuffle for Bunny. She needed a bigger crate to sleep in, so I got the larger pink crate to keep on the main floor (for afternoon naps ;-)) and am moving the black cage (to the left) upstairs. She sleeps in it next to me. On the floor. I'm not on the floor. lol.. Kapish? ;-)
It wasn't totally set up yet - there's a plush cushion that goes in the bottom of the crate. But Bunny was investigating it and I had the camera out, so just had to take a pic. :-)
I fell in love with reading when I was allowed to choose whatever books I wanted to check out of the library.

Walking around London in late October, after the clocks have gone back. Setting up rigging in Trafalga square.
The morning empty log bogies and a coach for workers heading for their logging camp heads towards Valea Pestilor on the line out of Viseu de Sus.
A westbound manifest leaves Logan, Iowa. That house up on the top of the hill would have some nice views.
Timing is everything in surfing, even when lining up to take the plunge. Scottburgh, Kawa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.

I was up early this AM and had my run completed well before the sun started to change the colors on the horizon. It's the last full day of summer and it's gonna feel like it as we shatter the record today and make a run at 100 degrees.
I was checking things out on the scope when Grumpy texted that Amtrak #4 was at Lawrence and there was a Tier IV EMD on the UP so I got out of the house and promptly watched #4 roll by at De Soto without any sunlight on the nose about maybe 2 minutes before it would have been fully lit. Doh. Even had YMP at the throttle with a friendly salute.
Jumped across the river which is no easy task with the school traffic and the stupid new stoplight at Kill Creek and setup for a shot here at 24.25 for the EMD Tier IV. Good thing I was shooting the nose of this thing, the conductors side looked like every other UP out there. Dirty AF. But it was nice to shoot a train right at sunrise as the shadows were moving east almost as fast as the train was moving.
Yes, I did chase this one just a bit east and popped him with the bird and it's not dirty on the engineers side. That's for later.
A pair of CF&E SD40-2s scream through the sleepy hamlet of, well, Hamlet, on their way to Fort Wayne.
It's pretty quiet around here on the former Pennsylvania Railroad's Fort Wayne Line nowadays, a far cry from when dozens of trains including the Broadway Limited would blast through here behind a pair of K4s or a T1, some EP22s, or hell, even Amtrak F40PHs.
At least the tracks still exist to give the townsfolk a few wake-up calls a day.
50033 is put through its paces ascending the 1:100 gradient between Stogumber and Crowcombe Heathfield past Leighwood Level Crossing. Seen here working its final train of the day at the WSR’s Mixed Traction Day, 2L14 14:30 Minehead - Bishops Lydeard. Note the headboards for the 50th birthday of Dawn Spencer, tireless contributor to the Fifty Fund.
A B-52 on static display looms behind a southbound business train skirting the west side of Offutt Air Force Base. The train sports the latest in EMD power and an older repainted GEVO.

UP 7888 rolls east on the Kansas Sub just east of Loring on a very hot summer night.
Do you know about air density? You should. Flying a drone in 100 degree heat will test your drone out pretty well and the performance will suffer greatly and your battery is way less efficient because the bird has to work a lot harder to stay in the air.
This concludes today's FAA 107 lesson.
As the Mojave Desert blooms with wildflowers, NS 4393 west (MWCST) has been put away at Ansel for one east. That eastbound, UP 8628 (MRVLA), rattles the west switch at Ansel as it continues down grade towards the floor of the Antelope Valley.

SAXLEHNER`S BITTERQUELLE HUNYADI JANOS
Eine alte Grünglasflasche aus der Zeit um 1900 mit einer erhabenen Bodenprägung. Die Flasche war mit einem Heilwasser gefüllt, das in der Nähe von Budapest der Erde entspringt. Das Wasser enthält einen hohen Anteil Magnesiumsulfat - ein bitter schmeckendes Salz mit abführender Wirkung, daher die Bezeichnung Bitterquelle.
Der Eigner der Quellen war ein Andreas Saxlehner, der das Wasser in umfangreichen Fabrikanlagen in Flaschen abfüllte
und zum Versand in die ganze Welt brachte. Das Wasser war markenmäßig benannt nach Hunyadi Janos, einem ungarischen Staatsmann und Heerführer im Mittelalter.
Das Wasser wird seit 1863 vermarktet und ist auch heute noch im Handel.
