Katz, like many of the station stops on the Canadian's route, isn't more than a level piece of ground and a Via Rail sign. This evening's Canadian did not have any station work at Katz, so in this frame (taken about a mile before Katz, the train is accelerating back to track speed after a signal upgrade. The Canadian has followed an eastbound freight out of the metro Vancouver area and, while not too tardy here, will continue to follow the freight's blocks into the night.

43003 and 43143 (with "Inter7City" set HA24) approach Golf Street station in Carnoustie, working 1A77 08.31 Edinburgh - Aberdeen.
Laing House in the background is the headquarters of family-owned construction group D. J. Laing. It was converted from a dilapidated former mill building, the work being completed in 1999. On the left is the edge of Carnoustie Golf Club.
I came here after getting a few shots at the site of the former Elliot Junction station on the southern outskirts of Arbroath, the sun being on the front of northbound trains here longer than it is there. This was taken stood on the lattice footbridge, as wide as I could, and is cropped a little all the way round (my 50mm lens was too long to fit in all the building). There would, of course, be a wider shot using the pole, and using the pole would allow a higher viewpoint, even stood on the ground.
I did try a pole shot on the next HST (half an hour later), but stood further back so that the train was going under the footbridge. Unfortunately, the cloud was getting thicker and there were pretty much no shadows - but it's one to try another time. Even this shot has had some brightening and haze reduction.
Given the lower than ideal light level, I originally set the ISO to 800 for this, expecting to need a shutter speed of at least 1/1000s. But when I saw the train, I realised it was moving quite slowly; I quickly reduced the ISO and the shutter speed. The following HST was also going slowly, but I don't know why.

Have a wonderful day, everyone...

Typical of south Florida weather patterns, this sunny hot day can quickly turn into a rainy day as rain approaches in the distance. After the rain, the sun generally comes right back out - providing for a nice mix of steam, heat, & humidity!
Ah, just think, next week I'll be cold (but quite possibly, still wet).

I'm not 100% satisfied with this one, more like 75%.. But still pretty good for never shooting this location before, and the sun angle, etc.
After a great hike up the valley Helgedalen we were approaching one of the glaciers in Hurrungane - the most alpine of the Norwegian mountain areas.
Approaching Naxos by ferry is a thrilling experience that stirs a sense of adventure and wonder. As the island gradually emerges on the horizon, there's a palpable excitement in the air. The anticipation builds with each passing wave. Passengers traveling to further islands gather on the ferry's deck to capture the views and take selfies.

The last two weeks passed quickly since the release of MMV's TransMontana ( flic.kr/p/2oShMTV ). The weather was so stormy in those days when I visited the lake Balaton. This one hit with a heavy downpourshortly after its arrival, but before that it provided an amazing sight.
