AI creation on Nightcafe
Does it make any sense? With adopting a prompt by another creator and adding my own 'mustard', I deliberately try to confuse and make AI halucinate.

The calmly flowing waters of a swollen Kickapoo Creek gently touch the concrete footings currently supporting the passage of this heavy, 131-car, southbound Union Pacific coal drag as its two, lead, AC six-axles ride their dynamic brakes, coasting downhill across a combination deck plate and lattice through truss bridge along the former C&NW "SI Line" outside Bartonville on a gloomy July morning. This train of loaded aluminum BethGons -- symbol CNAPW 14 -- are topped out with over 18,000 tons of Wyoming's finest black diamonds; Filled at Peabody's North Antelope Mine in the state's rich Powder River Basin, these hoppers have only a few short miles left to travel before reaching their destination at NRG Energy's Powerton Generating Station, near Pekin. The train will soon cross the Illinois River drawbridge and immediately make a right turn onto the IMRR and down into Crescent Yard for interchange where they'll tie down and the loads will wait for an Illinois & Midland crew to spot the cars at the plant for final dumping. Slated for decommission come the end of 2028 due to the country's relentless insistence on "cleaner" energy alternatives, Powerton is the sole remaining, actively burning coal-fired power plant to still remain standing in the greater Peoria area, outliving the facilities at Havana, Hennepin and Canton's Duck Creek (2019), and eventually the E.D. Edwards Station at Bartonville (2022). Once closed, it'll be another major hit in activity levels for a route that is already down in traffic. Twice weekly scheduled manifest service between Peoria and Clinton, IA, as needed coal, grain and ethanol unit traffic, and seasonal ballast trains are pretty much the bulk of what traverses this line.
For southbounds, this is the final, and most dramatic, crossing atop a snaky Kickapoo Creek which twists and turns beneath the rails of the Peoria Subdivision in six different locations within just about a short, two mile stretch of track. Just about a half mile back from this bridge, the train is still working through the CTC controlled interlocking at "Peoria JCT" where the Peoria Sub main to South Pekin splits from UP's "Low Line," which routes trains for Peoria area interchange into and out of their small Adams St. Yard just a short distance away on the city's southwest side. The single-tracked Peoria Subdivision, which runs south out of Nelson away from the busy Geneva Sub, uses a combination of CTC, TWC and ABS infrastructure to route what little traffic runs down this line and is also the only class 1 of four that has a "through route" through the city. A line that does not get much attention from photographers, an older "winged" EMD SD70ACe on the point of a well timed coal load just was enough for me to grab the camera and quickly pick it off at this very seldom shot location.
I sure could do without that walkway.

The ultimate Wedge racer sitting low LOW! and with the legendary Ferrary V-12..... The Ferrari 512S Modulo is a concept sports car designed by Paolo Martin of the Italian carrozzeria Pininfarina, unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show. At just a smidge over 3 feet high and with an amazing history it draws crowds where-ever it appears.

Have a great weekend my friends!!! Will go out tonight to watch Karate Kid, I'll check your stream once I get back.
Thanks for your visit, comments, and faves!
When I visit my brother in Cornwall I always look forward to seeing wildlife that I don't see at home. So, on my latest visit early June I excitedly when looking but , alas, I didn't see anything new but I'm still most pleased with this photo of a Speckled Wood all the same!
Have a fab weekend dudes and dudettes!
As Winter finally ends, the early blooming Iris reticulata, Crocus, Snow Drops and Adonis are popping up everywhere. And even though Winter is rumored to be dropping a couple of inches of snow before Spring officially begins tomorrow at 6:45PM, all these little ones are strong enough to make it through.
Here's what the Pacific Bulb Society says about this exquisite and feisty little iris, Iris histroides 'Katherine Hodgkin':
"Iris 'Katherine Hodgkin' (sometimes spelled 'Katharine') is a justifiably coveted reticulata iris hybrid of Iris winogradowii and Iris histrioides. When it first opens, the flowers have an ethereal color scheme that's hard to describe; a tinge of sea-green suffused with powder blue and fabulous intricate markings. The cross was performed by E. B. Anderson in England in the 1960's; he named the plant after the wife of a fellow enthusiast, Eliot Hodgkin (mother of Sir Gordon Howard Eliot Hodgkin)."
When the weather warms up I have breakfast on the patio with the bluebirds. Mama and Daddy order mealworms every morning. When I am late, Daddy lands on the patio furniture and looks inside for me. We are heading to FL for awhile, I'm pretty sure they are going to be looking for the worm guy.
My good girl is turning one year old on Saturday. She has already tipped the scale at sixty-five pounds. This photo is from February 10th and I'm guessing sixteen pounds.

Two of my favorite design artists have collaborated on an amazing bedroom set. It is available at ~uber~. At the event, the bed is Adult only, but Colleen assured the faithful that it will be available in PG after the event. The rug, slippers and plant are texture change so you can go crazy :)

When we were in Pilanesberg at the centre the Yellow Hornbill also sat around waiting for any crumbs of food.
We are staying the night at Hartbeespoort and the internet is pretty good - catch up after dinner at The Spur - best steaks I have ever tasted. Tomorrow we head to Marloth Park and Kruger.

I realised quickly when I knew I should.
that the world was made for this
brotherhood of man
for whatever that means
and so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
just to get it all out, what's in my head
and I, I am feeling a little peculiar
and so I wake in the morning and I step
outside and I take deep breath
and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on? ... (other old song of Linda Perry)

I ride past this field everyday when I ride my bike and I have been watching it get more intense in color...... this is the peek I believe!
So let's pretend I haven't been absent from flickr for 4 months.
My creativity has been non existent and I just took a break for a while. I just needed to find new inspiration. This photos is loosely based on Rue's death in The Hunger Games. The vibrant greens and the dark luminous mood reflects the serenity of her death.

when I was a kid I loved to help my mother hang our laundry on the clothesline that was strung from our porch to a pole in the back of the yard. I still have a thing for clothespins and love it when I run across the occasional clothesline in some stranger's backyard with their unmentionables flapping in the breeze :)
When the opportunity arose to work in Virtual Environments in an educational context, I felt the need to create an avatar physically similar to me. Until recently, this avatar was almost only used in academic situations.
(from my Artist Book: AVATAR, Myself Other)
when I arrived I was greeted by a storm and rain, I was getting hit by a lot of sea spray, but the nisi glass nano coated filters are so easy to clean so I could continue shooting, after about an hour of getting blown about by the wind I managed to get this shot with the moody sky, i used my nisi v 5 pro filter holder, and my nisi 9 medium grad.
When I first found this, I thought I'd found a Violet Helleborine. The leaves were bothering me, but in form it looked very different to the other BLH I'd found. Later in the day I actually found the Violet Helleborines, after walking past them 3 times earlier. Even more embarrassing was the fact one of them was growing in the path!
