Thanks to a few others who chimed I think we have nailed down this shot was a set of the returning empties at the road crossing east of Cramer Tunnel. Where Cramer road crosses the tracks. Same location as the last shot I posted of this train but before they reach the actual crossing. In looking at the maps trying to figure where I took this photo I see this line had quite a few twists and turns and of course lots of trees. Must have been quite the scene in the Fall as opposed to early Spring when this shot was taken.
First Great Western class 43 number 43198 approaches honiton with a west bount diverted service from london paddington
Earlier this month I had the great fortune of reaching the top of Mt. Rainier for the fifth time. This trip was extra special for a several reasons. First, our friends Mike and Kayleen flew out from Maryland. For the past ten years they dreamed of one day standing on Rainier's summit. Helping them reach the top was a definite highlight of the summer. Second, we had the route to ourselves. Crap weather, fog, drizzle, snow, detered other parties from making the trip up to Campo Schurman. It was sweet waking up at 12:15 am, unzipping the tent door, and seeing stars above and clouds below. Lastly, the sunrise was the best I'd seen from Rainier. Unfortunately, I kept my camera in my pack, missing much of the best color (I'm still experiencing a bit of PTSD after watching a camera bag full of equipment roll into a crevase on Baker eight years ago.). In this shot, Kayleen and Mike are taking a well earned break somewhere around the 12,500 foot level.
The storm front, seen here, was just a solid wall of water.

Aira Force [near Watermillock on Ullswater] looks like something out of Tolkien. Rain on the night before our visit left the falls looking lovely!

After the pack had laid off him the omega wolf dared a second, tentative approach, moving very slowly and checking with every step if the others would attack him again.
An image from a past visit to the west coast of Scotland during one of the recent storms. This image captures the coming rain and hail storm which soaked both my wife and I as we were both stupid enough to venture out without appropriate waterproofs!!!
BNSF 6391 and the rest of BNSF's Provo-Denver manifest approaches the west portal of Tunnel 1, through the S-Curves east of Plain. After several days of somewhat unstable weather, with quite a bit of wind over clouds, there isn't a cloud in the sky this morning, Independence Day 2024.

The shot was taken at Ban Amphur, a small fishing village south of Pattaya. The sunset was indeed "stormy and stunning", with dark clouds approaching Jiomtien outside Pattaya.
That smell of the sea on the air, the wind picks up a bit and the spray of rain patters onto the window. Much of my life in Seattle was made up of little vignettes like this. I miss it from time to time....but then I don't miss that constant damp from the same vignette. I do love watching a storm approach from the sea though and miss that at this time of the year very much.

This long exposure image was captured at Lunker Landing on Antelope Lake in Plumas County, California, USA. This was my first time back to the lake after the evil beast known as the Dixie Fire ravaged nearly a million acres, many of them very close to my beloved little lake. I was very glad to see that much of the forest directly adjacent to the lake was saved from the ravages of the blaze. On this evening there was a small storm system approaching so I opted to shoot a long exposure to capture the motion of the approaching clouds along with the warm tones of the evening sun that was still filtering through.
I captured this young bald eagle in a tree near Portage Alaska. It looks like dirty feathers but I believe this to be a young bird as it doesn't have the clean white of a fully mature eagle. It takes several years for an eagle to fully mature. It was eating some food - what I couldn't tell - in its claws on the branch.
