R12837. Approaching Romanshorn; a view forward from behind the driver.
April, 2003. Copyright © Ron Fisher.
For the first time I could admire completely new navigation lights at the head of Runway 24. Perfectly in scene this Wizz A320 on approach.
A pair of Irish Rail Class 2800 two-car DMUs (including 2801/02) belch smoke as they start to make their way into Maynooth station having been stopped at the home signal for a few minutes.
You'll notice that the signal is yellow not green - this is because the train is only cleared to move one signal forward (into Maynooth station), where it will again be stopped by a red signal. The diagonal row of white lights indicate to the driver that his train is being routed right across the set of points as you enter the station - in other words, he is being moved to the other track, which is Platform 1. On the other side of the track you can see the back of another signal - this is the Distant Signal for Blakestown level crossing.
This shot was generated by tonemapping a single RAW image with Photomatix Pro, and the tweaking the resulting image a little with Aperture 3.

Reflections from the towpath of the Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal near Kearsley. This is the end of the Manchester arm at Prestolee Locks (currently derelict).
I've already uploaded a Terragen/Photoshop image depicting a map of a treasure island. This is the island I rendered in Terragen before creating a map of it. After rendering the image I applied some tonemapping to add drama to the scene. The boat and some further colour adjustment and toning was done in Photoshop.
Storm passing over the De Zwaan Windmill. This is the last photo I took before I started running.
The De Zwaan is the only authentic, working Dutch windmill in the United States.
Whilst on holiday in Suffolk recently I decided to see one of the new units that now seem to work most services. Here what I think is a class 755 number 408 approaches Darsham working 2D90 18.13 Ipswich - Lowestoft service on the evening of 11th May 2021.
The bottom signal was flashing red which I believe was signifying that they were crossing the Lynndyl sub and heading onto the IPP Industrial Lead. Which is exactly what it did.
43314 approaches York with 1E12, the 0755 Inverness to London Kings Cross. The building to the left is the National Railway Museum. This picture was taken from the Scarborough platform of York Station.
Taken from the Bear Canyon Trail, this photo shows the (currently) large pool that all hikers pass when they arrive at Seven Falls on their way to climb higher to the upper falls.
Somehow, I was able to unintentionally exclude all of the falls from this photo, although it does capture much of the main area of interest. Old Guys such as myself usually don't leave this area as to climb higher is too risky and difficult.
