With luck on our side on this cloudy morning, we found ELS SD9 1221, my main target to shoot on the ELS, leading a northbound train with ELS 400 to Channing Michigan. Here they run through the grown over mainline in the backwoods just before Channing.

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).
The NOW, Northern Ohio and Western's lone GP9 heads back for its terminus at Tiffin, Ohio passing by an approach signal guarding the diamond with the NS Fostoria District at Maple Grove. This railroad is quite obscure, running only on Monday's and Thursday's and with one locomotive for motive power, railfans don't usually flock to this operation. The NOW operates a portion of the former PRR Carrothers Secondary from Tiffin to Woodville, Oh.

The weather had turned quite cold at the end of a hot summer day, but the clouds still looked a bit friendlier than on flic.kr/p/K9QNHp. This is the bit of line with least obstructing bushes, while decades ago they allowed another view as seen on flic.kr/p/LMG4QR.

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.

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.
Following the trail up the back of the dune, we reached the first point where we could get a clear view of the stream and lake.

Yet another crazy shot, going back to the slow speed panning approach, keeping focus on the boat, this time focusing manually. My purpose this time was to freeze the effect of the stroke on the water surface. You can still see the tale-telling shadow of the red oar which just got out of the water. Technically, it was a really lousy dirty stroke: a perfect stroke wouldn't have risen any water.
Otra locura de disparo, volviendo a la técnica de barrido a baja velocidad, manteniendo el enfoque sobre el bote, esta vez con enfoque manual. Mi intención esta vez era congelar el efecto de la palada sobre la superficie del agua. TodavÃa se aprecia la sombra reveladora de la pala roja que acaba de salir. Técnicamente fue una mala palada (saca sucio, dirÃa un remero): una palada perfecta no hubiera levantado agua.
A southbound manifest heads into Troy in the fall of 2013 with a pair of vintage standard-cabs for power. Surprisingly both are still in active service in 2022 as well: 8057 was rebuilt to SD40-3 specs as CSX 4063 in 2015, and the 7595 was sold to Pan Am in 2017.
With a dominating backdrop of Wild Boar Fell in Cumbria, Stanier 8F no. 48151 approaches the summit at Ais Gill whilst working the 'Dalesman' charter on a breezy 22nd May 2018.
Metra 173, the 'Village of Lake Bluff', nears Jefferson Park station on the far northwest side of Chicago with a outbound weekend scoot.
There is growing concern (since 2010) that the volcano on Ischia could erupt in the near future. It is considered more likely for Ischia than for its more famous Italian counterpart, Vesuvius.
This was the second of three shots I took during sunset at Lone Rock Beach. I chose this spot specifically with the plan to shoot in vertical format, because I liked how the lines in the sand and curve of the beach gave the feeling of leading to Lone Rock. This image was taken a short time before my first post from this shoot, just before the sun had set and the sky was close to peak color.
Class 67 No. 67015 crosses the River Usk at Caerleon on the approach to Maindee Junction where it will join the South Wales main line to Canton. This is the 5J42 from Chester TfW crew trainer with ECS. 4 May 2021.

A very early morning start with the promise of mist in the forecast. I arrived at Bolehill Quarry and was greated instead by driving rain. Not the best conditions and the first outing for the rain cover I'd bought for my camera. I'm glad I had it as without it I'd have been turning around and going home with nothing.
