Don't normally let a camera get this close but on this occassion I felt quite confident with the way I look and the way I felt and so thought a portrait shot would make a nice change. I hope you do not mind me sharing it with you.
This is probably the longest flight that I have ever taken with my drone with just at 2.15KM flown there and back with my little bird. It would have been a lot easier to fly from the grade crossing north of Eudora but the UP MOW trucks had all the parking spots taken.
Nice to see what is now an older EMD leading a train and being trusted as the only unit on this short manifest.
This shot is in between Linwood and Turkey Creek and right in the heart of where the EF4 tornado removed enough trees a few years back to make this shot possible. We just need a few more EF4's to clean more of the right of way off.
Medanak, first reversing station of the Khyber Pass Railway. The line continued on the upper left to the next reverse at Changhi and further on to the Afghan border at Torkham where it stopped just a few meters from the border line. The railway was opened in 1925 to Landi Kotal and 1926 to the border - this later section with two reversing stations was already closed in 1932 after only 6 years of use. The Peshawar to Landi Kotal line remained open for regular trafic with one train a week until 1982 and for special trains between 1993 and 2007. It is closed since due to severe washout. Essential reading about this line is 'Permanent way through the Khyber' written by the line's building engineer Victor Bayley. February 1997
As stars fade into daylight I feel like the endless possibilities solidify into the most probable. Although this is titled waking up, this is the last shot before returning to camp and sleeping until noon.
On loan, some very cool flat ware. I will never tire of these tarnished pieces. Serving up flowers today with a paper texture 10 form Deviant Art, and from Cottage Arts a scrap edge and overlay. I have one little orange Cosmos and 3 Moss Rose ie: portulaca flowers on the menu! Thanks for all the views, comments and favs.
Disneyland's Fantasy Faire is finally up and going after a lengthy re-furbishment of the former Carnation Plaza Gardens. While I was shooting this, I was pleased to see my buddy Sam walk up with (yet another) visiting flickr friend, Kristi. It was nice to meet Kristi and her family!
Whether he knows it or not, Sam has become Disneyland's flickr ambassador and I can't think of anyone better for the job!
I started to catch up with some basketball games…
J'ai aussi commencé à rattraper mon retard: basket...

I was on visit at the west coast town Esbjerg for a man that had been working in the harbour there. And this beauty af Jack up oildrilling rig was there, Mærks Highlander.

Originally built as an SW7, UP #96 was one of 55 older EMD switchers (NW2s, SW7s, SW9s and TR4As) rebuilt by the railroad in the late 1970s and early 1980s as an SW10.
From Utahrails.net "The SW10 rebuild program included 645-power assemblies in place of the original 567-assemblies. Also included were all new cabling and wiring, and updated electrical gear, which included a couple module cards with some solid state circuitry. A new consolidated equipment rack for the water tank, oil filters, and other mechanical components was built using parts from retired GP9s. A new radiator section using twin 36-inch electrically-powered cooling fans, also taken from retired GP9s, was installed to replace the inefficient and expensive to maintain belt-driven 54-inch fan that originally equipped these units. The new design also included a large sandbox occupying the front of the unit in place of the original radiator fan intake and radiator shutter assembly. This new, external sand box design did away with the two original, internal sand boxes, with their four difficult-to-access sand traps. The cab interior layout and design also received attention. The new design included a modern control stand, electric cab heating, an electric refrigerator, and other features to bring it up to the FRA-mandated "clean cab" standards. Also as part of the rebuild program, the original friction bearing trucks were converted to roller bearings. The finished, operating weight for the SW10s was 251,200 pounds."
#96 (originally #1243) as retained by the Union Pacific as part of their heritage fleet, where it served as the steam shop switcher in Cheyenne. It was finally retired in 2014 and subsequently donated to the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland, OR, where it is displayed today. The engine remains operable and sees some occasional use.

I spotted this Chevrolet pick up on my travels last week. It was parked in someones front garden and looks like it's in good condition. I'm guessing it dates from around 1954 / 55.
Young bull moose walking up creek in Glacier. He later came over and took over the trail from me. Was fun to watch him.
