A TRRA yard job is pulled across the V&C Belt at Big Bend for headroom with the 308/3008 slug set for power. Remnants of the Illinois Terminal's Venice High Line over the south end of Madison Yard can be seen in the trees in the background.

Sunset at Big Bend near Page, AZ, USA. Straight down perspective with a view up to the horizon. I was sitting with my legs dangling off the edge. If you look a few months back in my feed you can see just that.
Horseshoe Bend, one of the most photographed areas on the Colorado River, located just north of Grand Canyon and outside Page Arizona. It's a 1,000 foot (300 m) drop from the top of the cliffs to the ground below. For this reason, I mounted my camera on a 18 foot pole (Pixie Pole) and extended it out horizontally over the cliff to take this photo. DSC_0829A

We saw and heard quite a number of Currawongs during our walk, but they were mostly too high up in the tall trees for me to get a shot. This bird was more co-operative.
Tailem Bend Railway Station as seen on 1st October 1995, soon after the track was converted from broad to standard gauge. The station was built in 1913 and closed in 1996. It has since been restored and is now the visitor information centre and a museum.
Horseshoe Bend is just one of those places as a photographer you want to visit. I was lucky enough to do that last November.

Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States. The bend is locally known as "King Bend."
The Pro-Bending tournament has Republic City residents at the edge of their seats! After their tight victory over the Buzzard Wasps, all due to Avatar Korra’s amazing water bending skills, the Future Industries Fire Ferrets are about to compete against the titleholder: The notorious White Falls Wolfbats !
The stakes are high and the chance of winning is slim, yet many fans believe in this young and agile team. While bets are set and people are counting the remaining days until the final, Mako, Korra and Bolin are training every day in Toza’s Pro-Bending gym. Refining their skills and sharpening their reflexes in every way possible, they can surely be considered a tough competition, even for the most experienced Pro Bending teams, as we have seen in the previous matches of the tournament.
Will this group of exceptional benders become the new Pro-Bending champions, or will the Wolfbats defend the title once more ? Republic City is ready to find out…

The next shot of the Pro-Bending Gym. It is not the best photo, but I guess it's the only way to provide a better view of this side of the hall.
So much for the overviews. Next up will be some closer looks at the furniture and some bending action.
Looking back, I've not been happy with my first post of this image, so here's a larger, alternative version. I'll let you pick which you prefer (the other one can be found alongside this one in my Wyoming 1997 album).
At the time I took this, it was just another photograph, in early-mid afternoon on the last day of a two-week road trip. I didn't realise just how iconic this location/view is. It was the only shot I took here and is scanned from a negative.
For the uninitiated, like me at that time, Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park is the most photographed place in the entire park. The image of the Snake River with Mount Moran's reflection is iconic and has been photographed millions of times!
Mount Moran (3,842m) is named for Thomas Moran, an American western frontier landscape artist. Mount Moran dominates the northern section of the Teton Range rising 1,800m above Jackson Lake. Several active glaciers exist on the mountain with Skillet Glacier plainly visible on the monolithic east face.
Mount Moran is a massive and impressive mountain which would make it attractive to mountaineers. However, the comparative difficulty of the approach to the climbs makes it a much less popular climb than other peaks to the south.

Contrasting warm and cool colors in a narrow section of a desert canyon.
During my hikes up and down this canyon I made quite a few photographs of these lovely narrows. I camped at the mouth of the canyon, and this made it possible to hike up twice — once late in the day and again the next morning. The appearance of a narrow canyon like this one depends so much on the nature of the light, and that was almost completely different during the two visits.
Several things intrigue me about this particular narrows. Sections of it are quite angled, with the wall on one side slanting away and on the other side overhanging the bottom of the canyon substantially. In other words, you don’t look straight up to see the narrow band of sky, but instead you look off to one side a bit. I assume that this is a partially due to erosion following natural lines of weakness in the geology and partly due to the tendency of moving water to undercut a side of the canyon. Of even more interest to a photographer, the color of the light in this canyon and others like it is quite variable. In the darkest section the only light comes from the very blue sky, and the light here is quite blue. (I actually toned it down a bit in the photograph.) However, where the light comes in a bit more directly or perhaps through a wider gap the color is much warmer, as we see on the far wall beyond that gap in this photograph.

Disappearing round the bend ... in search of the next shot ;o)
Happy Tree Tuesday!
Happy Textural Tuesday!
Fyvie Castle grounds, walking round the loch-side. Just as the first leaves were beginning to turn an autumnal yellow, a month ago. Since then gales and heavy rain have stripped some of the trees, and also limited my idea of following the autumn transformation.
This visit also gave me a chance to properly 'road test' my second Russian Helios lens. Shot with the LOMO Helios 44-2 lens 2/58

A tight bend on the East Fork of Pigeon River gives a view of Raven Cliff Ridge in the Shining Rock Wilderness in Western North Carolina. I was hoping the clouds might burn off for sun set but this is as close as it got, with some faint sunlight burning through the clouds.
The Arapaho Bend Natural Area in Fort Collins is a favorite local haunt for catching a sunset. This one was very nice!
Image Notes: manually blended seven frames via luminosity masking. Sun starburst is from stopping down and not added in post. And on that note the Rokinon 14 f/2.8 has amazing flare control otherwise.

Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near Page, Arizona. Horseshoe Bend can be viewed from the steep cliff above. The overlook is 4,200 feet above sea level and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet above sea level making it a breathtaking 1,000 foot drop. It is a short ¾ of a mile hike from US Route 89.
Three image HDR of Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona, taken with the world famous Photographer, Mike Jones.
We got there a tad late and the sun was starting to illuminate the mountain background. I used a three image HDR and a ND Grad and this is the result.
Oxbow Bend, Snake River, in Grand Teton National Park. I was hoping to see moose or bears crossing the river, but alas it was not to be.
