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.
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?
K706 accelerates out of it's crew change at Bostic as it crosses the rarely shot trestle over Pebble Creek with Wadesboro bound ethanol loads.

193 806 und ein weiterer Vectron sind gerade am beschleunigen aus dem Bahnhof Hirschaid und fahren als RE-D 4986 von Nürnberg nach Sonneberg.
193 806 and another Vectron accelerate from the station Hirschaid and drive as RE-D 4986 from Nuremberg to Sonneberg.
Accelerating off of the Cloquet River Bridge, BLE 909 takes empty wagons north to get reloaded with taconite
Q501 accelerates east after waiting for a pair of CN trains at the Wellsboro diamonds. The train on this day was powered by an SD70ACe-ES40DC-AC6000CW trio. Only the Gevo is still rostered by CSX today.

C-GAGE, a Cessna 441 Conquest II, screaming down runway 33 at Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport in Markham, Ontario. It was returning to its home base at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario.
This 40-year-old beauty is operated by Lake Central Airways.
After waiting behind a 65T (Empty Limestone from Belmont) 721 accelerates through the CPL's at Hurt, with new replacements waiting on the ground.
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.
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.

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction.

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.
"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.
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.

The Hubble constant — the rate at which the Universe is expanding — is one of the fundamental quantities describing our Universe. A group of astronomers from the H0LiCOW collaboration, led by Sherry Suyu, Max Planck professor at the Technical University Munich (TUM) and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, Germany, used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and other telescopes in space and on the ground to observe five galaxies in order to arrive at an independent measurement of the Hubble constant.
This research was presented in a series of papers to appear in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
The new measurement is completely independent of — but in excellent agreement with — other measurements of the Hubble constant in the local Universe that used Cepheid variable stars and supernovae as points of reference [heic1611].
However, the value measured by Suyu and her team, as well as those measured using Cepheids and supernovae, are different from the measurement made by the ESA Planck satellite. But there is an important distinction — Planck measured the Hubble constant for the early Universe by observing the cosmic microwave background.

I used an intervalometer to capture a photo every second during the launch. At this point Orion had just risen its own length in just over 3 seconds, and with 2.5 million pounds of thrust, it was accelerating fast!
With the sun low in the western sky and five BNSF unit throwing up some exhaust as this eastbound Provo-Denver accelerates out of Yarmony, it was time for a nice black and white reflection shot!
