Union Street Railroad Bridge
in west salem, oregon
The wooden trestle for The Union Street Railroad Bridge with gold leaves and blue sky above. It is a vertical lift, Pratt through truss bridge that spans the Willamette River in Salem, Oregon, United States, built in 1912–13. It was last used by trains in the early 1990s and was sold for one dollar in 2003 to the City of Salem, which converted it to bicycle and pedestrian use in 2008–2009 - wiki

A wander from #Bakewell in #Derbyshire west, up Holme Bank to the Monsal Trail and then a pot of tea in the former Hassop Railway Station. Then back down the trail to the former Bakewell Train Station. Would have gone a bit further east but the trail is blocked while they fell trees.

Good morning and happy midweek, BS 🦋 … halfway there! … have a wonderful Wednesday! ☕️🌿🍂💛🍁🌳🍃✨
A pond on a sunny day with a swan swimming and a few ducks spread out across the water. The sky is bright blue with wispy clouds. Autumn trees are along the edge… their colours reflect on the water.

In den Salzwiesen gibt es ein anderes Grau. ☁️
There is an other grey in the salt marshes.
#eastcoastkin #waterwednesday
Eine flache Salzwiese mit braunem, hohem Gras, das sich links und rechts eines schmalen, gewundenen Wasserlaufs erstreckt. Eon Priel verläuft von der Bildmitte nach vorn und spiegelt den bewölkten Himmel wider. Der Boden neben dem Wasser ist schlammig und hellgrau. Der Himmel ist überwiegend grau.

Good morning @Bluesky 🦋

Einen schönen guten Morgen wünsche ich euch 🌹🍀☕️☕️☕️🍀🌹
und habe euch eine meiner Orchideen mitgebracht. Sie hatte letzte Woche zu blühen begonnen.
Gelb-braun blühende Orchidee mit langen grünen Blättern. Das ist keine dieser üblichen Orchideen, sondern eine Spezialsorte, die von den Blättern her an Lilien erinnert. Nur die Blütenform ist typisch wie bei Orchideen

Another benign November day with prolonged sunshine ☀️ 🏝️ 🌒

A fair amount achieved today without too much effort, as the heavens smiled kindly 🙏 🏡 🧳

Now to prepare an appetising dinner - have a nice evening👨‍🍳 🍀 🕊️

The quieter stratum of Self,
dissolving the tension between “inner” and “outer.”
What unfolds within a spacious presence.
