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?

[CZ] Panorama hradu "Rokštejn" - jeden z nejvíce zdokumentovaných hradů na moravě. Možná i proto, že hrozí zatopení místa díky budoucí přehradě (zatím to není jisté). Nicméně toto urychluje archeologický výzkum a poznatky ohledně tohoto hradu.
[EN] - Panorama of the castle "Rokštejn" - one of the most documented castles in Moravia. Perhaps because the site is in danger of being flooded due to a future dam (it is not certain yet). However, this accelerates the archaeological research and knowledge about this castle.
February 2nd 2019 yielded a wonderful combination of circumstances. A superb winter's day and a unique locomotive pairing of "Mayflower" and "British India Line" with the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express. Here the train is accelerating past Birkett Common after a hold up at Kirkby Stephen. There was some nervousness about whether the train would arrive before the line was overwhelmed by the advancing shadows, but all was well. It's hard to believe that there are 50 or more people lined up behind the foreground wall! Good to see many old friends and acquaintances today.
This made me laugh out loud. Walking around I came across an unusual sound. It was the sound of a bunch of crickets. I thought it unusual because the sound was coming from above. I back tracked several steps and found this Mockingbird doing the sound effects. I was surprised how realistic these sounds appeared. Then he began making sounds of a motorcycle switching gears while accelerating. He was doing the motorcycle thing when I snapped this shot. I love this bird. 8 ))

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.

The hummingbird activity has finally started to accelerate as they prepare to head south for migration. This is just one of several adult males in my backyard.
La actividad de los colibrís se ha accelerado finalmente mientras que se preparan para dirigirse al sur para su migración. Éste es sólo uno de los machos que se encuentran en mi patio trasero ahora.

I've been able to go catch the LA&L every weekday that I have been on vacation since December 7. I probably have enough photos of em to post a LA&L pic each day for a year. Here is one of the road train as it heads North with 39 cars at Elm Place in Rush, NY, just North of Howletts, on December 12, 2018. The train is usually putting out some pretty good smoke here as it accelerates up to track speed after leaving the Avon area. Barilla Pasta is visible above the last car in the train.
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.
Accelerating away from Whitacre Loop 37501 Teeside Steelmaster spreads some EE joy over the Warwickshire countryside heading 5Q59 10:16 Wembley Inter City Depot to Old Dalby conveying 730202.
Almost as if nothing has changed Berkshire and Eastern Railroad train ED9 has a pair of unblemished former Pan Am GP40s, MEC 381 and 345 (blt. Dec. 1969 & Nov. 1968 respectively as SCL 1577 and Penn Central 3224). 345 is actually a rebuilt GP40-2 that was sold by Conrail to Guilford around 1995 and was subsequently sold to GATX rebuilt and leased back around 2015. Both units are still owned by CSXT and its uncertain what their fate will be once their short term lease comes to an end allegedly soon.
They are accelerating in a haze of white exhaust as they slip thru CPR33 out onto the former Pan Am Southern (nee Boston and Maine) now MassDOT owned Conn River Main passing the vintage B&M era searchlights still standing guard performing the duty they have for generations. They will hustle down to Hatfield for their first stop to work Turfcare then continue on their way to Northampton and sit for a couple hours to meet two northbound Amtrak trains, Vermonter train number 56, and Valley Flyer train number 486.

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.
Scanned negative from 7-04-92.
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.

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.
