Taken from the footpath between Pitstone hill and steps hill, which can be seen on the right. Ivinghoe beacon is in the centre of the shot.
While I was happy with my previous shot here, I must say the better weather conditions this time are a marked improvement. This empty grain pretty much follows the course of the Yakima River, seen here rolling through a double horseshoe curve as they approach Thorpe. This would be the only train I would see n this line but it was well worth my time.
Next I will share with you a little photo diary of my travel adventure in 1983. I went on this journey together with a friend and we had nothing as our backpacks and a little guide book, i had my analogue Nikon FE and three Nikkor lenses and some 35mm slide film rolls.
I took this photo in 1983 through the window of the aircraft before landing in Medan, Sumatra (Indonesia).
I scanned my slide material with a 35mm film scanner Nikon Coolscan LS 40 ED

Southern Pacific 9107 East is a mile west of the siding at Mott, about four miles east of Dunsmuir in the Sacramento River Canyon of northern California.
Part of the walk from our campsite just outside Coniston into the village for an evening in the pub, all along footpaths for about a mile.
After the grain train clears the block at MP 132, the signal displays "approach medium". This is one of the unique features that will disappear when the new signal system is cut over.
In the high cascades of Western Oregon, fall is approaching. It comes early to these high elevations. :) Mt. Washington in the background.
This was a pretty awesome sight to see, the sun's rays across the sky as the storm clouds approach via www.playeattravel.com/
An archive shot taken at Stumble LIghthouse a few years ago. There was the most dramatic sky with rain squalls and sun - never seen it like that there since! Happy New Year to all my Flickr friends. Can't believe another new year will be starting tomorrow! Wishing you all well for 2025
Approaching Thunderstorm, confluence Mamquam River and Massiter Creek, near Squamish, British Columbia, Canada
Thunderheads loom over the prairie as the afternoon heat hits its peak.
I was photographing Bobolinks when I turned around and saw these clouds rapidly growing in size. I'm always impressed with how high these massive storm clouds extend into the atmosphere.
I love the iPad 2....but the resolution is just not there. Cottonwood tree and snow storm on the way.

this is the view as one approaches the Panorama Point (highest point) of Matheran. Its a long walk from the market though....:D
I made my wife walk all those kms....belive me its worth it :)
I knew I missed the viewing of the sky, clouds and storms but I never knew how much I missed them until I return. I hope to capture more of the wide open spaces of the prairies and mountains and the wide open sky in the very near future.
I would like to tell the story of how I came to get this picture. It will only be of interest to a few diehard amateur photographers who might have experienced similar frustrations and rewards from our hobby.
This summer, we have had practically no hummingbird visits to our feeders. Now and then, the feeders are visited by a single hummingbird, giving rise to the impression that we only have one in our area. This is in sharp contrast with past years when our lot has been almost constantly abuzz with Hummingbird hubbub. After a while, I noticed that “our hummingbird” was paying regular visits to a Bugloss plant growing wild very close to our front door. Evidently, it preferred the Bugloss to our feeders.
I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to try out the new auto-capture feature that Nikon recently added to the Z8 by a firmware update. I set my tripod and Z8 up about 8 or 9 feet from the Bugloss with a 300mm lens and focused on the part of the Bugloss where I thought the hummingbird was most likely to go. Just as I was about to initiate the auto-capture and was looking at the screen at the back of the camera the hummingbird flew right into the frame in perfect focus and exposure and in exactly the position in which I hoped to capture it. Before I could get my finger to the shutter release it was gone !! I could not believe my bad luck. After that, several hours, spread out over a couple of days, of having the camera in auto-capture mode produced zero results. I gave up.
The morning after deciding to suspend my auto-capture project, I was at my desk and, out the window, I observed a couple of birds engaging in some strange behaviour high on a white pine. I got my Z8 with the 160-600 mm lens and went to my front door to take some handheld pictures. The birds were too far away to get any good shots. Before I went back into the house, my attention turned wistfully to the Bugloss which had been the scene of my photographic defeat. I wondered if I was far enough from the Bugloss to focus on it with my long lens. So, I pointed my camera to it and began trying to focus on the Bugloss. The very first thing I saw through my finder when the image came into focus became the picture you see above.
The hummingbird gave me a second chance at exactly the image I had missed a couple of days earlier!!
