The Conemaugh and Black Lick pulls seven cars of steel wire along the Conemaugh River to the former Bethlehem Steel wire mill across town, now operated by Liberty Wire.
#104 was one of at least fifteen EMD SW7s delivered to the C&BL in the late 40s and early 50s. During the days of Bethlehem Steel, they had as many as a dozen switchers active during the day.
Not too long before becoming young and restless, the fledgling Barn Swallow did receive an energy transfusion sufficient to sustain it during its solo flight along Rettilon Road on Bolivar Peninsula.
Just a house and some wires in Bottesford.

...put my life in peril for this one...no place to pull over in commuter traffic so I stopped and did the click click thing. No one got in my way...no one tooted their horn as they seemed to understand my mission. Anyone who walks/drives away from a shot like this isn't a photographer. Had I not stopped, this image would have been burned into my memory and tortured my soul...forever!
Golden-headed Cisticola (Cisticola exilis)
Great to see the Cisticolas back in the Sneydes Rd. paddock. As I walked along the edge of the paddock I could here them but they were too far away to get a shot - the paddock is still to wet to venture too far into. Fortunately this one flew towards me and settled on the power line for a minute.
HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !!
It's a mystery! Who or what tried to rip the screen off the this little window, and why? As you can see, this window, in a little old garden house, is way up, under the eaves. It is not humanly accessible except with a ladder. Hmm...
This garden house is on a nice private plot, at the beginning of the Moostal, a pasture-and woods area that is part of our village. This garden house has been there for decades. For a while, about 10 years ago, it was used as a chicken coop. So maybe back then, some ambitious semi-feral cat was trying to get at the chickens, but gave up for some reason.
These days, the garden house is used by humans. They have put the chickens in a newly-constructed pen at the back of the garden. It is netted over...with chicken wire.
Location; Moostal, Riehen BS Switzerland.
In my album; Dan's Windows.

Kruger National Park
Photographed at the remote Grootvlei Dam in the north-eastern part of the Park, very close to the border with Mozambique. The great distance between the Shingwetzi and Letaba Rivers makes the dam an important halfway water source, especially during the dry season.

2026 one photo each day. (forgotten to post it on the day to one a day groups.
I photographed this Wire-tailed Manakin (Pipra filicauda) at Reserva Natural La Palmita in Trinidad, Casanare, Colombia. The male's tail filaments add about 4 centimeters to its length. In Colombia and Ecuador it lives up to about 500 meters. It is a year-round resident that feeds mainly on small fruits and also insects. It plucks fruit while perched or with short flights from a perch. La Palmita is a civil-society nature reserve in Trinidad that protects about 400 hectares of flooded savanna and 250 hectares of forest. IUCN lists the Wire-tailed Manakin as Least Concern, with a stable population.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/200 sec, f/5.6, ISO 1000. La Palmita's research center also monitors the savanna's birds and mammals and rehabilitates and releases wildlife rescued from illegal trafficking.

Que la metralla torpe de los liliputienses
nunca llame a tu fiesta
Que no te salpique la locura
el cinismo con su telenieve
Que no te disparen entre lirios de látex
con raciones frugales de pasión y verdad.
Que no te vendan el aire, el sol,
el rastro de la belleza, de la amistad.
Es gratis lo que vale la pena.
Ni jamás amenacen con alambre de espino
el don azul que late en tu memoria.
Que goces y te gocen, infinita y feliz,
y los huesos te estallen de amor bajo la tierra

May the clumsy shrapnel of Liliputians
never knock at your party
May madness never splash you
cynism with its tv snow
May they not shoot at you among latex lilies
with skimpy servings of passion and truth
May they not sell you the air, the sun,
the trace of the beauty, of friendship.
What's worth it its for free
And may they never threaten you with barbed wire
the blue gift throbbing in your memory
May you enjoy and be enjoyed, infinite and happy
and may your bones burst into love underground

Red wire chips fill the space of a heart, outlined by gold wire against a darn and black background.
This is about 1.5-2 inches frame size, it’s the cut end of an armoured electrical cable .
Thanks for stopping HMM
Not really. Not so romantic - Bokeh from a distant 'security' lamp shining in the day through branches and the fence close-up.
