I was going thru some slide scans and came upon some Conrail stuff.. It started to occur to me that Conrail has now been gone MORE years then it was alive (23 years)! I miss Big Blue, always a steadfast of alot of trains in the Chicago Terminal, you would never be disappointed on the Chicago Line (NYC) east of town.. Do we have a John Stanovich sighting here in the seat? Here I presume is ELBR tip-toeing into 1 lead at the east end of BRC's Clearing Yard at Hayford Jct, on a beautiful late summer afternoon in 96.. Conrail would last but 2.5 years and be dissolved on May 31st 1999 - 26 years and 9 months ago...

A lonely Pencil Pine (Athrotaxis cupressoides) in the light mist near Lady Lake, Great Western Tiers, Central Plateau, UNESCO World Heritage Area. Tasmania.
There are actually two trees here - the living tree with three main trunks behind the bones of a second tree, also with three main trunks.
They are separated by three or four metres. At one point they were friends :(
The Pencil Pine is endemic to Tasmania, is a Gondwanan remnant and is intolerant of fire.
Fujifilm X-T5, XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6,7, 1/500th sec at f/9, ISO 400.
CN 5558 leads CN 331 under the signals at Brantford. With most SD60F's in storage currently I have to go back into the archives to see these beauties.
Blog SOON @ The Blogging Elf!
Apologies for the break and long gap in blogging. :( I was runnign (and actually still am) into some really weird issues in SL with constantly (basically ever yother second) unrezzing textures. It's driving me pretty batty. Will be back in business hopefully very soon! :)
On a sunny day you walk past the park and they are empty...
No yells, screams, bangs and prangs.....
Just a sad silence and yearning swings....

As we are currently living in London there are some days that we totally miss home!
Here is a shot from our last Summer holiday 2014 in New Zealand only months before jet-setting to the other side of the world to live.

This boat was flipped upright when we first arrived, and once we were about to leave, i went over and saw that it had flipped upside down. The water had risen a lot in the 2 hours that we were there.

After missing last year in our annual February quest to capture Horsetail Fall on El Capitan, my buddy, Steve and I were determined to not let it happen again.
We'd heard that Horsetail had a great flow a couple of weeks earlier, and a big storm was forecast for the weekend, but never materialized.
I had seen a couple of images capturing the spectacle from a different vantage point, including this killer one from Bill McIntosh and contacted him to see how on earth he found it.
Well, paraphrasing Bugs Bunny, we probably should have turned left at Albuquerque. We think what we found was his route, a dried up creek bed that looked MUCH more difficult than we had expected. I think we needed to keep walking farther west; I'm not sure, but looking at his photo, I think so.
We tried to see if we could capture something similar by taking 4 Mile Trail to above the tree line.
As you see, our angle was such that we couldn't see if the light was closing in on Horsetail, but the view regardless from about the half-way point on 4 Mile was pretty stunning -- lens flares and all.
