In my neighbourhood there are several old farms that are swallowed up by town. The stables behind this farm are nowadays garages. The street you are looking down is Brinkstraat. "The brink (an open space surrounded by trees) is originally the farmer's use area where the livestock was collected in order to go to the common pastureland as a herd. The brink originally was on the edge of the village (the English brink still means "edge"). (Wikipedia)
I have a collapsable hood on my Tokina lens. This was shot at 35mm and I forgot to collapse the hood, which resulted in quite some vignetting. For once I think it actually adds to the photo :-)

Treppenhaus in einem Versorgungsgebäude der Beelitzer Heilstätten. Ich habe mich dann für den Weg nach unten entschieden ;-)
This is the worst time of year in Illinois - the weather cant decide if its winter or spring. There is no color anywhere and my photographic creativity is very challenged.
This is a photo of a late blooming amaryllis I grew indoors.
Final one for the week and still out of newer stuff, but might make an effort at some point this weekend to take some photos. I posted a little stocking flash on Wednesday but thought as it's Friday might as well go the whole hog to celebrate the oncoming weekend. Have a good one all whatever you're up to 💋

the second day we walked from Stonethwaite up my favourite Langstrath to Esk Hause and Great End, and back via Seathwaite, a good 15 miles.
Cloud caps on the highest hills stopped much photography, but there was some nice lighting lower down; here at the bottom of the Stake Pass
This Male Lapwing also known as a Green plover came right up to one of the hides at Slimbridge, just a few feet from where i was standing, allowing for this close-up shot!
AC and DC GEVO's (CN 2876 & CN 2266) lead CN 369 as it passes CN 120 on a busy morning on the Kingston Sub. Up front are three aluminum cars, with more further back.
Alice managed to drag her little sister Patch into the tub, scrub her clean and then dress her up in a new frock.
Alice: Look how pretty you are!
Patch: I like the flowers.
Alice: Everybody at the party will adore you sweetie.
Patch: What party? Will there be cake?
Alice: But I told you already, it's your welcome party. There will be plenty of cake and other goodies. When will you ever listen?
Patch: I had soap in my ears. I love cake! Can I walk the dogs now?
Alice: Alright. But just a short walk. And stay on the sidewalk, we don't want you to get dirty again.
Patch: Okey!

Thank you [https://www.flickr.com/photos/tillieb123/] for the information about the yellow dress. It belongs to Toots, Tressy's little sister and is called 'Happy Birthday*. Quite fitting for this occasion. It's a bit of a squeeze for Patch...
Alice is wearing a dress made by the granny of Patch's previous owner. I think. It looks fantastic so if you recognize it as being factory made, I wouldn't be surprised.

This boat, the "Blue Zone" washed up on our beach overnight. Apparently it was stolen from Georgia and brought down here, then abandoned.

UP 7856, UP 4499, & NS 9121 lead train 37T on the Portage Bridge in Letchworth State Park in Portageville, NY on 1/28/2017.
Moving from the East Coast to the Midwest, one of the things I've noticed are the length of coal trains. From the 110 to 115 car trains I seen on CSX and NS to the 135 to 150 car trains on BNSF and UP. Seen here are one of those 135 car UP coal trains gliding across the trestle oer Santa Fe Junction.

ZE 9 was built by French loco manufacturer Corpet Louvet in 1950.

Form last week, when the sun still shined here in Kansas. UP 5997 West leads one of the afternoon manifest trains west in Bonner Springs, KS.
Someday the sun will come back out. Today isn't going to be that day and tomorrow isn't looking good either.
The equipment move for the George H.W. Bush funeral train departed Council Bluffs on Sunday morning December 2, two days after his passing. 'Spirit of Union Pacific' 1943 had the honors of running the passenger cars down towards Spring, TX; where the funeral train would begin on Thursday December 6th.
As luck would have it, a winter storm brought about 6 inches of snow to the area during the wee hours of the morning. Some lingering flurries fall as the special passes the elevator at Murray, Nebraska. As you can see by the snow still on the railhead ahead of 1943, the railroad had been cleared off to give way for this most important of moves.
1) Poop is mostly bacteria and not old food
2) Poop is brown because of dead red blood cells and bile
3) The ideal poop is a "continuous log"
