Not actually taken this year, but one of the best pictures of an approaching snow cloud I have ever taken

GBRF 66733, approaches Prestonpans with the daily Departmental working 6S48. The Tyne Yard to Mossend working is seen in dull conditions on the 4th February 2016 at 1417
Representing the third generation of trains since the rump of the Isle of Wight’s train services were electrified in 1967, Class 484 004 is seen after emerging from St. John’s Tunnel on its approach to Ryde Esplanade station. As before, the rolling stock was sourced from London Underground, this time comprising former D78 units that were once employed on the District Line.
By January 2008 it was the morning train to Linghe that was almost always steam hauled and this was what decided us on pursuing the train on this day. It was always a dash to get ahead as it wended its way up the hill from Xiamiaozi and the last shot was usually on this viaduct at Qiaotou, if you were quick enough to get there in time. On this occasion we discovered that because it was cloudy, and the sun had not yet risen, there was hardly any light. 1/60sec at 800 asa was not ideal, and neither was slithering across the icy river to get into position. It was still worth it, especially as I shall probably never get another chance.
On 1 August, A rotating super cell thunderstorm caused the National Weather Service to issue a tornado warning for Cheyenne, Wyoming. I uploaded the complete documentation of this event on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=38atLtMKLME and have included this short clip to give you an idea of the magnitude of its impact.
Local weather forecaster, Don Day discussed this event in more detail at: pdcn.co/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/tra...
Dealership damage (Aug 1, 2025 Cheyenne hailstorm)
Estimated number of vehicles damaged:
👉 “thousands” of vehicles across multiple dealerships, with some individual lots reporting hundreds of cars each.
Dollar estimate:
👉 Commonly described as “tens of millions of dollars” in damage to dealership inventory alone (a subset of the overall storm losses).
Supporting details:
Local coverage noted “countless vehicles” damaged citywide, overwhelming body shops and repair capacity.
Visual reports and dealership accounts describe entire lots being hit, with every vehicle exposed to large hail impacts.
Cleveland's Red Line approaching Tower City from the airport. The viaduct was used by New York Central passenger trains getting to and from Tower City. The viaduct was electrified as steam engines could not make the grade on their own and had to be coupled to an electric locomotive.
Currently, GCRTA's Red Line is only one of two that use overhead catenary as a heavy rail line (MBTA's Blue line in Boston is the other). Now the Red Line cars are about to be replaced by Siemens Light Rail vehicles in the next 12-18 months.
The theme for this year's Burning Man was Cargo Cult.
"..a kind of Melanesian millenarian movement encompassing a diverse range of practices and occurring in the wake of contact with the commercial networks of colonizing societies.."

While crossing Pamlico Sound on the Cedar Island to Ocracoke ferry, we were followed by a large group of seagulls. They were busy catching fish that the props churned up and made for great photo subjects. In this view, I was reminded of stacks of airplanes staged along a glideslope on approach to a busy airport....the fact that the one in the back is all flared just made it even more apparent.
Just moments after leaving Wanamaker Station, the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern's chunky Porter #65 approaches the unguarded crossing at Levans Road, as she takes a short branch line mixed train upgrade toward Kempton, PA, a little over 2 miles ahead.
This image was captured during a May 2008 photo shoot on Pennsylvania's Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern, which featured the former Safe Harbor Water & Power Co. #65, hauling a local mixed train. The 65 is a 1930 Porter 0-6-0T saddle tanker that was a perfect fit for this little tourist operation that is only 3 miles long.

As the little sign notes, our Rotary Outfit is now approaching the dirt road crossing at Dalton. You'll note that the discharge plume is significantly denser than in some of the earlier photographs. The snow depth up here is perhaps 1-2 feet.
An Unknown train approaching its destination Dibrugarh.
The beautiful mountains of Arunachal Pradesh can be faintly seen far behind.
Photo taken at:- 14:22, 14-1-2020, Tuesday.
The train is unknown and is very likely to be the 15904 Chandigarh-Dibrugarh Express or the 15934 Amritsar-Dibrugarh Express as the coach composition is very similar to these two trains.
Composition was WDP4D-EOG-GS-2A-3A-3A-3A-3A-PC-Eleven SL-GS-GS-EOG
But this place is not the usual route of these trains.
This is the Simaluguri - Sibsagar Town - Dhamalgaon - Dibrugarh route. The usual route of most trains is Simaluguri - New Tinsukia - Dibrugarh.
But the main thing is that the Dibrugarh to New Tinsukia route was closed temporarily upto 14th January 2020 due to the massive agitations and protests related to CAA and NRC in the area. Tracks, Signals and Stations were damaged in the violence.
So all the trains were diverted via Sibsagar Town, which is a lot shorter route than going all the way to New Tinsukia and coming to Dibrugarh.
So now the question is, which train it was at that time?
15904 arrives DBRG only on Wednesday and Saturday while 15934 arrives DBRG only on Monday.
But the picture was taken on Tuesday!
Dhamalgaon, Dibrugarh, Assam.

The approach to Elmwood Junction on the CSX CN&L Subdivision sits in the woods behind the Columbia's Riverfront Zoo. Here, NS P65 (Z367) passes the signal on it's way to the V-Line and Silverstreet, SC.
I saw faces in these storm clouds as they loomed over our lake yesterday afternoon. Maybe just a rugged old man, or-- is there a crying baby with hand extended next to the face of another man who seems to be in distress???

Whilst these are very popular in Sydney, the problems of shooting them are that mostly they are too from the front path to photograph in peoples gardens. So I had to hunt around for ones well placed so I can get pictures at different angles.
The species vary too and some area already nearly finished flowering and others have not started yet, and they make different shapes according to which variety. So I was wandering around the area trying to find suitable ones to photograph as they are soon over the flowering period!!!
