A rare Saturday working of 6S45 presented a rare winter opportunity to see this working in daylight hours, and fortunately this coincided with an agreeably sunny day. A little after 9am 66744 is seen approaching Winning Signal box only a mile or so into it's journey.
The substantial puddle is an indication of the quantity of rain that has fallen over the past few weeks.

Vincere e perdere una battaglia interiore...

In 1904, the Kentucky General Assembly chose Frankfort (rather than Lexington or Louisville) as the location for the state capital and appropriated $1 million for the construction of a permanent state capitol building, to be located in southern Frankfort. The official ground-breaking was August 14, 1905 and construction was completed in 1909 at a cost of $1,180,434.80.[2] The building was dedicated on June 2, 1910.[4]
The capitol was designed by Frank Mills Andrews, a distinguished and award-winning architect. He used the Beaux-Arts style and included many classical French interior designs. The staircases, for example, are replicas of those of the Opéra Garnier in Paris.[5]
One of the strangest and most memorable things I've lived through is being in Paris when France won the World Cup. The streets were absolutely transformed and I have many photos of people rejoicing (some that I have posted previously).
But, I also tend to be drawn to that opposite feeling and the bipolar sense that happens in reality. Because, it's such a strong current of collective consciousness when that many people are rooting for something that you actually forget it's about sports at all and it feels more about the collective spirit of France or even of humanity.
I could tell that this girl wanted to be a part of that with the way she had decorated her face and with the French flag she was holding but I think she didn't quite know how and that's an interesting thing to capture...maybe even more intriguing for me than all the wild dancing and singing. We are all young and awkward once and some of us know very intrinsically (even when we're older) precisely how this girl felt.

I'm quite sure many award winning togs do this sort of thing, a wee tweek and a bit of added pazzazz. It makes a prettier picture and that's what we try to do isn't it? No matter what Loch Shiel looks pretty special a lot of the time. Best loch in Scotland! It's not always grey here.
And I've been thinking alot about the acts and the actors... wouldn't it be great if you could go back and rewrite those acts that you wish had had better endings?
And the actors... some come and go... some go and return again later... and a few, stay. I'm definitely NOT a people person, but I have found that those people that come into my life carrying cameras have really become important to me. Time spent with my camera is really the best part of my life these days. The rest is all just work... ugh. My Christmas list this year... simple.... a winning lottery ticket... or any way that I can get away from working 6 days a week and still continue to eat and have a roof over my head!
And now I'm just whining....
Sorry about that! Hope you all have a great weekend. (me... I'll be at work... sigh)
Oh the photo ... an awesome, and much needed photo explore with my friend, Susan, set up by my friend Lisa.... two very important actors in this play I call life. Thanks you two!!
No, not this photo, but if I had managed to get there for the sunrise, who knows, it could have been award winning. If you follow Lynne Berry (and if you don't, why not?) then you will know that I agreed to met her and her donkey at this location for sunrise. The coloured light that morning was spectacular. I know because I viewed it for the whole journey from Craster to Lindisfarne. I just got there too late.But still, always fun capturing these upturned boat sheds and that castle.
an Oxeye daisy fights its way through the reddened iron ore water at an old iron ore mine. She's winning!

There's a little over 1 month left in the 2025 Summer Joust! Which means you still have time to enter for a chance at winning this prize for the Medieval Still Life category. Built together with Isaac.
See all the contest details in the Flickr group.
I was told it is like winning a lottery to see colorful sky in this area. Not sure if it is true or not. I guess I got lucky :)
I waited for a train, but as you can see one never showed. Alas... I'll try again next time I'm in the area. This is a winning location for a train image in my opinion, but I do like the emptiness of this particular frame.

Niamh Delaney wins the Gate competition at the Fingal Harriers Hunter Trials in Michnanstown, Co Meath. This is a series of ten images layered and masked in photoshop
This shot is obviously not one of the landscape or wildlife images I normally upload to Flickr. But I was recently informed that it was the Grand Prize winner in the 2018 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Photo Contest, so I'm just going to toot my own horn for a moment and then get back to my regular subjects.
The Balloon Fiesta was actually on my wife's bucket list, so when we visited I took my camera along (of course). Glad I did!
