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.
The forecast called for rain and it was raining when I arrived. I waited in the car for about 10 minutes and finally decided to shoot from under an umbrella. Right about then a brief clearing occurred and I was able to capture this shot. 205/365
Approaching the Miraflores locks of the Panama Canal from the Pacific.
Note the tugboat and the bulk goods carrier ship entering the lock ahead of us (we are entering the right side lock). And the ship in the left locks that is already significantly above our level.

The Ta Prohm temple complex was also built by King Jayavarman VII, dedicated to his mother this time. At its peak, it was a depository of riches such as gold and jewels. Today, it is one of the Khmer temples that still has trees growing on it, to showcase the relationship between the manmade and Nature. However, crowds of tourists are more attracted to it because of the film Tomb Raider (shown on TV again last night) and Angelina Jolie. In the movie, she was led by a girl to a spot here where she fell through the ground :-)
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!
This image was captured back last October at Godrevy, Cornwall.
Whilst editing, I thought I would see how the image appears in black and white.

Elk .. having spotted something alien .. is hoping it doesn't turn into a mountain bike ... she doesn't like them!
The approaching cloud front, illuminated by the setting sun, acted like a huge reflector that covered the landscape with a very special soft light.
Die sich nähernde, von der untergehenden Sonne beleuchtete Wolkenfront wirkte wie ein gigantischer Reflektor, und die Umgebung in ein ganz besonderes weiches Licht hüllte.

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.

A nighttime view from an airliner while approaching Los Angeles International Airport.
A fishing boat returns to the boat launch in advance of an approaching storm off the coast of Arniston, South Africa. To me, this had the look and feel of a scene one of my favorite painters, JMW Turner would have painted. In fact, he did paint a scene very similar to this, and I was thinking of him as I framed this. Arniston is a small seaside settlement in the Overberg region on the Cape South coast, close to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa. Fishing is still an important means of earning a livelihood. The village has an historic section of old fishermen's cottages. Cape Agulhas is where the Atlantic and Indian Ocean collide. It also is a breeding ground for great white sharks.

decoy scorpionfish - A marvel of adaptation, this ambush predator sports a dorsal fin that resembles a small fish - complete with eyes and mouth. It lies on the bottom, slowly undulating the fin and waits for a victim to approach the decoy. Once the victim draws near enough, it becomes a meal for the crafty scorpionfish.
