A very brief break in the weather this afternoon ... made it to one of my 'go to' locations - Boonerah Point on Lake Illawarra, Shellharbour, Wollongong. I'd checked and the sun was due to set pretty much due in line with the pier, didn't quite get the blast of light I was hoping for but a couple of rays made my day .. :-)
In order to create an authentically powerful life, you need to align your personality with your soul. ~ GZ and there it was..few years later and the alignment has happened in front of my eyes. Just like that..
The sun rises over the distant peaks of the Lake District lighting up the clouds above in an array of beautiful colours, on a calm morning at the Point of Ayre. Captured with my telephoto lens, the alignment with Winkie Lighthouse only really works for a few short weeks each year. A wonderful way to start the day 👌

Self portrait in one of the car parks of the University of Tasmania.
I love these trees - at night the dominance of the bright light is hard to adjust to - I took a few different angles and found that flaring and rotten exposure were big issues. Then I thought i'd work with the flare and while I was setting up a man walked through the frame. I thought - yep this shot needs a peron in it, so self timer on and in I walked.

look for the good in others;
for beautiful lips,
speak only words of kindness;
and for poise,
walk with the knowledge
that you are never alone. "

It's Sliders Sunday!
... and what could be more fun that playing with a pic from my daughter, modeling her mask which I sent off earlier this week to thank her for some hard to find items she had shipped to me via the internet!
She actually would LOVE to be a professional personal shopper, which is something she didn't get from me! So I'm thrilled this is a win win for both of us!
A short southbound LO39 job is rolling 12 cars toward Massena, NY passing milepost 200 of CSX Montreal subdivision on a glorious winter day.
The lead unit is about to take a sharp steer toward the right, passing in fact from the former New York Central alignment to the former CN route toward the New York State. A diamond crossing between the two roads once occupied the vacant lot just behind me.
The grain mill in background, Dundee Feeds, was still a railroad customer and was shunted by one of the Beauharnois - Québec based job.

The crescent moon finds a gap in the clouds as a magnificent sunset lights up over the darkly looming heights of the dunes, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. My youngest son requested a trip to the Dunes in a rented RV for his birthday present a couple of years ago when this photo was made. Bless him for having the prescience to get us all here for this moment.
Back to the current day, a number of wildfires are roiling the typically blue Colorado skies with smoke that is almost as pretty at sunset as the clouds you see here. The downside, of course, is the loss of forest, life, and livelihood. Today the humidity finally increased and it began to rain in some small measure. After the latest conflagration leaped over the Continental Divide, perhaps the forest on the eastern side of Rocky Mountain National Park will not burn too severely, but who can be sure. It is troubling to know that years like this are but the harbinger of what is to come if we do not act quickly to reduce our economic dependence on fossil fuels. Forests have a hard time absorbing carbon from the atmosphere when they are incinerated and become a source of carbon themselves.
I was not overly hopeful of taking a decent shot of the Sturgeon Full Moon (Supermoon) a few days ago. I had pinpointed a good spot on a hill 2.5 miles away, to photograph the National Wallace Monument at 600mm, but not a place I had ever visited before. However as the bright red moon made an appearance we were standing on exactly the right spot.
