I think it would be hard for me to pick my favorite season of the year, as I like them all very much. This winter however wasn't very fun. With almost no snow, there weren't a lot of things making the season beautiful - at least it was a chance to photograph some trains in places, where the sun would usually not allow it.
I therefore was eagerly anticipating the arrival of spring this year, tired of the constant grayscale of Polish winter. With the first green grass popping up and flowers of the year blooming in the still very low sunlight, pictures look way more pleasant. Just like the flowers, the railway traffic is also blooming at this time of year, with aggregate trains becoming more frequent.
Changes came in the transfer of the famous oversize loads from Wrocław to the harbour of Gdynia. For the first time in years, SKPL did not deploy its SM31 for the journey. Instead, SM42-954 of the company "BM Naprawa Pojazdów Kolejowych Antoni Bartosz Moch" (very long name :D) was attached to the train TNS 553003 Nakło nad Notecią - Kościerzyna (note: the journey was done with a couple of diferent schedules, this one was one of 4) and hauled it through the dense forest areas of Northern Poland.
Said SM42 is seen here on the line no. 215, which (as one of its stretches) connects Czersk and Bąk - both places lying on once very important lines - the Royal Prussian Eastern Railway and the interwar period Polish Coal Mainline respectively. The time here, as in many places in Northern Poland, has stopped years ago. Telegrah pylons, almost unused rails and overgrowth very much remind everyone of times gone by.

We were driving for several hours in the early morning around Mt. Fuji, trying to get a glimpse of the Mountain. We finally stopped at a golf club parking lot to stretch our legs and WOW, the fog lifted and we got this wonderful view of the Mountain. GCFujiv2
I turn to sitting here, looking over Oltrano and Florence... Brunelleschi's Dome is on the left and Santa Croce on the right...
Florence is a must-see city for any art lover, but its delights reach far beyond the museums and galleries. According to some, the city itself is a piece of art. Have you heard of Stendhal syndrome, that supposed illness that causes sufferers to grow faint at the sight of great beauty? It also goes by the name “Florence syndrome,” as it was first coined after 19th century visitors to Florence were overcome.

I leave you two pictures of Rio. The first in a beautiful winter morning during the month of July, a sunny morning with pleasant 25 ° C of temperature.
This photo shows the beautiful silhouette of the city of Rio de Janeiro, and was taken from Niteroi, across the bay.
In the second picture the same silhouette at dusk, but in an older photo.
I packed courage and I will in search of a real winter. Over the next few days I will be in Bariloche (Argentina), where I hope to find cold and snow for the first time :)))
I hope not freeze there ...
Have a wonderful week, my Flickr friends! I'll see your beautiful photos when I return.
When I left home yesterday morning at 4:15am it was dark, but I could see that there were some overhead clouds that might promise to give some colour and character to my intended sunrise shoot at Jenny Dixon Beach (Central Coast, NSW; Australia).
After the hour drive, I arrived at the beach. Still looking promising.......
Some thicker cloud hanging on the horizon meant there was not much colour before sunrise; but then the clouds started to colour up......
You beauty - colour!!
Add some rocks (only recently uncovered again after recent rough seas), seaweed, waves, coal ships and a lighthouse and presto - here's what I got.........
Make sure to view large on Black!!!!
Have a great weekend, and thanks always for your support, comments, favorites, and viewings!!!
Final beauty of fall, coming to it's end. Taking backroads home from KHPN, highway lately getting congested, but this drive is alway destressing of days events, also no crazy drivers
When nature's beautiful creature came to visit our home I didn't miss the chance to take photos! Old shot, old memory of our previous home.
When traveling around the Kebler Pass area for the fall aspen show, I spied this location and returned for sunset and waited for the very moment when the last kiss of light was on the peaks of the Raggeds Wilderness Area as seen in the background here. What a gorgeous night!
... it gets super saturated too! One of the delights of the season, IMO.
Explored at # 92 on November 6.
when the wind blows through the harre takes your thoughts away and Ford carries them to another place,
A place where people can forget all thoughts of the past
in a place where there is room for new things
in a place where there is room for so many new things
no matter where this place may be, I will enjoy it with everything that defines me
“When photographing women, we have three paths: photograph them with the "male gaze” ; photograph them as "photographer eyes” and photograph them as "poet feeling”. I always try to be the three ...” by Old Roger
When sleep feels impossible, in the middle of the night….thankful to find beauty in the mundane, a way to cope, a reminder that you are growing even while you feel trapped in the darkness.
When the light turns soft, the world slows down,
and confidence feels quiet, warm, and effortless.
Just me, the glow, and a moment that belongs only to now. 💫

When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Amongst the gifts was this pretty ribbon of yellow and white embroidered daisies which I have set up on the back terrace with my garden as a backdrop against one of my antique embroidered Art Deco doilies from the 1930s, and accessorised with two spools of Dewhurst's Sylko lemon yellow cotton, which date from between 1954 and 1958.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
Sending you light and laughter this Christmas.
