Experienced on the Vancouver SkyTrain, British Columbia
SkyTrain is the longest rapid train system in Canada and the longest fully automated driverless system in the world so far.
As she crosses Fairford's Runway Threshold, 'Black 01's' Dodge Chase Car accelerates hard to tuck in behind her
Driving the car is another U-2 pilot directly communicating with 'Black 01' - calling out continuous height references and any other pertinent hints to assist the Pilot in coaxing his mount down onto Terra Firma - the most difficult part of any U-2 flight
Just after, the ground crew pick-up also accelerated away after them so that once the U-2 had come to a halt, they would then re-attach the outriggers

Exactly on time EC 197 accelerates out of Lindau in the very last light of day bound for Munich. I tried for this shot with the earlier train last October but had no luck with the clouds. I was sweating bullets watching the shadows grow, any delay would have meant failure but thankfully things came together. With electrification of the line rapidly advancing this will almost certainly be the last summer for this shot minus the poles. With such a small window of light the poles will almost certainly ruin the shot.
Found a great corner on a motorway here in Berlin, this ridge over the dip made for an interesting red line LE. It many attempts to get it right and is often the most challenging in respects to photography, as it's pure chance and of course one can never get the time back. Luckily enough in cities there is seldom any lack of traffic.
Much appreciation to my followers both new and old, not far from the big 500; also I appreciate all comments, faves, criticisms and feedback and so as always, thank you! :)
From the Stirrups and Smiles Rodeo. It's a very fast moving sport. I don't know how they stay on the horse. Maybe some velcro between the saddle on the rider?

Europhenix 37800 is making wonderful sounds indeed accelerating away from Bedford working some EMU stock from Stewarts Lane to Derby Litchurch Lane. Built at Vulcan Foundry in May 1963 this loco has had spells abroad in France and Spain during its long and eventful time in service..
Accelerating west after the Blue Ridge Flyer excursion train cleared on the west end of the passing siding. Soon they will be tackling the grade up, through and over the Blue Ridge.

The St. Paul expediter accelerates out of East Dubuque on the Aurora Sub. Neat A-B-A geep setup powers this hotshot east. Still 181 miles to Chicago.

50007 and 50049 growl towards Beattock Summit at Harthope with Pathfinder’s “Grampian Highlander”, 1Z72 0605 Taunton-Aberdeen. The train was running some 25 minutes early at this point having failed to make the planned recess in Beattock loop and I only just reached this spot in time.
RUPO accelerates to 25 after clearing the yard limits of Leeds Jct. B&M 327 leads LTEX 6528 and MEC 310 and about 50 cars.
BNSF 6802 is finishing it's run through Crozier Canyon as it accelerates in to morning light at Valintine AZ.
An A-B pair of ex-Milwaukee Road E9s accelerate the North Coast Hiawatha past the Kopper's Coke plant in St. Paul on December 16, 1973 - the first year I had a drivers license. The rails to the right and the old Midway Stadium in the background are long gone, but the rails the train is on remain as does the overpass I shot this from.
Bank Station always struck me as ideal for the concept of a blurred train on the underground: aside from its clean, metallic finish, it’s one of only a few stations in London with curved platforms, which I felt made it perfect for emphasising a sense of perspective as a train came along the tunnel.
The postprocessing workflow for this image was split into two stages: I captured five bracketed exposures early in the morning while the station was empty, and used luminosity masks to achieve a balanced finish for the bright lights and the gritty texture along the platform. I then used separate four-second exposures for the first westbound Central Line train of the morning -- one as it pulled into the platform, and another as it departed -- and blended these together to produce the final image.

"In physics, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. In one dimension, acceleration is the rate at which something speeds up or slows down"
Subway station in Essen, Germany. A little photoshopping to get a nice effect.

Potsdam is the capital of Brandenburg in Germany, and always my favorite place when I stay in or at Berlin. This time with only a few visitors in the parc, how amazing!
A continuous Hohenzollern possession since 1415, Potsdam became prominent, when it was chosen in 1660 as the hunting residence of Frederick William I, Elector of Brandenburg, the core of the powerful state that later became the Kingdom of Prussia. It also housed Prussian barracks.
Voltaire at the residence of Frederick II in Potsdam.
After the Edict of Potsdam in 1685, Potsdam became a centre of European immigration. Its religious freedom attracted people from France (Huguenots), Russia, the Netherlands and Bohemia. The edict accelerated population growth and economic recovery.
Later, the city became a full residence of the Prussian royal family. The buildings of the royal residences were built mainly during the reign of Frederick the Great. One of these is the Sanssouci Palace (French: "without cares" or "no concern", by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, 1744), famed for its formal gardens and Rococo interiors. Other royal residences include the New Palace and the Orangery.
