This is such a steep learning curve, I'm not sure I have the patience for. Insects move so fast, while your trying to move in close , focus and get the shot. Anyway, it's an attempt. Love this 105mm lens though
The journey by road up to the Northern Isles via Glencoe has to be seen to be believed (if its sunny). If I can master it, I hope to upload a few shots in the same file, to make it easier to view them.
The setting sun over the city of brotherly love: captured as we approached the runway in Philadelphia
19/52: My sister and I decided to surprise my mom and show up unexpectedly for Mother's Day. I flew into Philly to make it happen.
218 approaches Greystones with a "push-pull" set, probably forming a service from Howth. I had a "thing" about that gazebo (which Aubrey Dale disparaged), and it appears in other shots. Is it still there?
The date is (once more) uncertain - I was clearly in the area on 23 August 1980 and the weather looks similar, so the date will have to do.

23 seconds after "Tunnel Vision" and a change of camera position to just outside the window for a clearer view ;)
Greater Anglia Desiro, 360 110 approaches Dovercourt Station on the single track branch line. The line on the left was only used for freight after the line was singled for passenger working. But when Harwich lost out to Felixstowe across the water for freight it fell into disuse. The yard at Harwich town is still there but heavily overgrown and fenced off. The line beyond the station to the old ferry connection still runs across the road but has been built on after that.
A Rio Grande coal drag has dropped down the Front Range and is rolling through Leyden ticking off the final miles to Denver.
Water enters the Twister, swirls around and around, and exits 60 feet below. It's like a stone tornado.

These photos don't really capture the speed of the sleds. Check out this Super 8 film of it (particularly toward the end of the film):
I'd been sitting on the beach at Saadani, north of Dar, Tanzania, as this remarkable weather front approached. Twenty minutes later... the deluge descended!
I found this scene yesterday in Lewis County, Missouri. I was fascinated by its two dimensional profile, I guess you would call it that. It reminded me of paintings I have seen somewhere. If anyone knows the names of artists who do these farm scenes let me know. I also thought it would make for a bleak winter scene with snow. Texture thanks to Citizen!

Soon after taking this shot from my balcony, the storm clouds opened up with a rain shower. This High Rise building has been waiting for construction to start again, since now distancing because of the Coronavirus is not always possible.

Approaching the apex of the curve on the famous High Line Horseshoe Curve in Rockwood, CO (MP 469.5), the former D&RGW K-37 Locomotive #493 slowly brings her train across what is arguably one of the most spectacular sections of track on any railroad in the Lower 48. Just perhaps 100 ft. in front of the train there is a spot from which passengers looking down from their coaches will not see any track at all.....just a very steep drop to the Rio de las Animas Perdidias or "River of Lost Souls." The trains pass through here at perhaps 5 mph, which I suspect is not only comforting for the passengers (slow is good), but also gives them ample opportunity to get out their cameras and create some memories of this very unique stretch of track.
