Now and Here
late night, late train, late arrival
A snowy February night, looking south from Ellesmere station on the Scarborough RT line.
To my Flickr friends: I am the late train of the title, and your photostream is the station. Some of you have been great about visiting my photos, even when I have been less than consistent in visiting yours. Thank you, and I hope you also know that, when I do finally get around to visiting, I don't just sprint through your last photo; I normally take a good look at most of your recent posts, and comment on (and/or fave) at least a few. Have patience, and the train will eventually arrive.

(Hey, this was chosen for the Worldworx front page, a decent honour when you're on the Explore blacklist.)
P.S. I caved in and got Photomatix, even though I've always prided myself on blending layers more manually. Photomatix makes it easy, at the cost of some control. I don't like garish HDR, but Photomatix also does tasteful and natural blends. Here I fused 3 exposures, and still tinkered with it in the GIMP. I didn't quite like full colour, or black & white, so I combined a bluish colourized version with low-saturation layer.
