QJs 6735 and 6763 are passing Shangdian distant signal on the approach to Tunnel 5 just before reaching Shangdian Summit. Sunday 24 November 2002.
When I went for my photowalk last Saturday there were no clouds in the sky, so I went looking for bugs to shoot. Then, as sunset approached, a storm cloud appeared in the distance to the west and grew rapidly. I managed to catch the sky show just before the sun disappeared for the evening.....

60026 on the 11.25 Arcow Quarry - Pendleton, having run round at Blea Moor. A pity about the exhaust, which hadn't been requested ! 10 January 2025.
The longest Tunnel in the Tunnel District is Tunnel 17, which is 1,752 feet long, or roughly 1/3 of a mile long. The tunnel allows the tracks to leave South Draw, and connect with the open valley at Crescent, near Gross Reservoir. The westbound Zephyr is approach a clear (green) intermediate signal just east of Tunnel 17 on the approach to Crescent.

An image with some unusual colour contrasts for a deep-sky image — with blue Bellatrix, a green comet, and the huge red Lambda Orionis nebula.
This is Comet ATLAS (C/2020 M3) seen here as the green glow above the bright blue star Bellatrix in the shoulder of Orion, and approaching the large diffuse red nebula surrounding the “head” star of Orion, Lambda Orionis. aka Meissa. The large nebula complex is catalogued as Sharpless 2-264. At right, above the comet, is the smaller emission and reflection nebula catalogued as vdB (vandenBurgh) 38. The sparse star cluster surrounding Lambda Orionis is Collinder 69.
This was the night of November 15/16, 2020, with the comet moving rapidly northward a day after its closest approach to Earth and three weeks after its perihelion, or closest approch to the Sun. On the next nights the comet would have been within the nebula.
This is a stack of 8 x 8 minute exposures without a filter, blended with 6 x 15-minute exposures through an Optolong L-Enhance narrowband nebula filter, to bring out the faint nebulosity.
The comet image itself is from just one of the filtered frames layered and masked to reveal just the comet. But even in the single 15-minute exposure its image trailed slightly as its motion was quite rapid. I used a filtered shot for the comet as its green/cyan glow did pop out more than in the unfiltered shots, though the more usual cyan colour of a comet has been altered a little by the narrowband filter and its bandpass of the green OIII lines.
All were with the William Optics RedCat 51mm astrograph at f/4.9 and with the Canon EOS Ra, with the filtered shots at ISO 3200 and unfiltered shots at ISO 800. Images were autoguided, with dithering, using the Lacerta MGEN3 stand-alone autoguider. I also used its polar alignment routing this night to refine the mount’s polar alignment and it seemed to work!
All images stacked, aligned and blended with Photoshop.

Was out photographing and this was one of my last shots. I could here the thunder coming closer and before I was back home the rain was all over me. I really like how the last beams of sun shined on the field under the heave dark cloud.
I was pretty new to MFT here. An old travel shot I wish I could redo these moments the opportunities were better than the shots I ended up with.

The job of the sailor is tough. Most people get to go to their homes and families every night. The sailor though must stay away from them for long time. His only company is the endless blue of the ocean. The ship is the home he sees the most. I have never been a sailor but I think I can imagine how it feels when the ship approaches its destination, when, after spending weeks or even months in the middle of the ocean, you can see a mountain peeking at the horizon. And then you can see and hear the seagulls and you realize that soon you will set foot to the land. Perhaps a place you 've never been before. Or maybe a place where home is..
