Another Autumn walk

nobody@ipernity.com (Herb Riddle) — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 08:23:26 +0000

Back on my local old railway walk and what a pleasure it always is when the trees and leaves are like this. This spot is only about 400m from my home.

I have many photos on Ipernity of this linear walk but I don’t think I have ever attempted to describe its origins: This used to be called the ‘Delph Donkey line’ and it served several small communities between Oldham and the village of Delph in Saddleworth. It was only 4.5 miles (7.2km) long and opened in 1851 to passengers but closed to them in 1955 whilst freight continued till 1963.
Why “Delph Donkey”? The line earned the nickname because:
The train was slow, reminiscent of a donkey’s pace. It served rural communities, where donkeys were once a common mode of transport. Some say the nickname came from locals who used the train to market days in Oldham or Delph

Enjoy the weekend.

Wie an vielen Orten in Europa herrschte aktuell auch hier im Zürcher-Unterland grosse Trockenheit, was durch die aufgewirbelten Staubpartikel in der Luft zu einem dunstigen Himmel, mattem Kontrast und schwachen Farben führte, die tiefstehende Sonne erhielt einen grossen, weichen Hof.

please press "z" for large view

P.S.
Bei vielen Aufnahmen während dieser Sonnenfinsternis sind mir diverse Fehler unterlaufen:
Bei früheren Sonnenfinsternissen, egal ob partiell oder total, habe ich im Vorfeld immer das Handling an den Kameras, die Einstellungen mit den Filtern usw. ausgiebig geübt (für totale Sonnenfinsternisse auch im vollständig abgedunkelten Zimmer). Dieses Mal hatte ich aus diversen Gründen keine Zeit dazu, entsprechend sind mir hier einige Fehler unterlaufen (mit diesen Kameras habe ich vor dieser Sonnenfinsternis noch keine abgelichtet).

A thousand teak logs jammed in ancient mud, 
Recycled from a palace — what a stud. 
The joints don’t need a nail, just faith and fit, 
While concrete neighbors say, “You’re full of… grit.
Eight centuries of footsteps, floods, and fuss
 The bridge still stands. Can’t say the same for us.

Great Horned Owl (Rehabilitated Photo)

When I took this photo on 27 November 2010, I was looking up into the trees and had only a camera and telescopic zoom lens. I had none of the special lighting equipment and so even after digitally brightening the image, the photo remained less than desirable. Now with AI and asking it to change the back lighting to front lighting, this photo has been rehabilitated as if I had the special equipment in the first place. :)

I also had AI remove the branch in front of the owl's face.

The original photo is shown below:

Rohace mountain lake

nobody@ipernity.com (m̌ ḫ) — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 18:41:17 +0000

Roháčske plesá are a chain of glacial mountain lakes in the Western Tatras, in the Roháčska valley, beneath peaks such as Ostrý Roháč (2,087 m) and Plačlivé (2,125 m). The word pleso means a mountain glacial lake, so the name refers to the lakes of the Roháče area. They are special because the lakes are arranged in a dramatic stepped formation, one above another, which gives the place a very distinctive alpine character. For visitors, the appeal is not just the scenery but also the sense of remoteness, clear air, and classic high-mountain atmosphere that makes the area one of the most admired hikes in Slovakia.
