Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)
The Wright Brothers are credited with the first successful powered and sustained "heavier than air" flight on Dec 17, 1903. Orville Wright was present on Oct 14, 1947 when Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in the X-1. It's amazing to think that this man not only saw the first flight, but a mere 44 years later saw the elusive sound barrier broken in a craft that was inspired by his original invention.
"If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be fused then it can be split
It's all under control
If it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time
We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?
A sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard
We will not be the first, we won't
You said you were going to conquer new frontiers,
Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast
We promised the world, we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?
Breath in, breath out
So here we are reinventing the wheel
I'm shaking hands with a hurricane
It's a colour that I can't describe,
It's a language I can't understand
Ambition, tearing out the heart of you
Carving lines into you
Dripping down the sides of you
We will not be the last."
- Pioneers by Bloc Party
"If it can be broke then it can be fixed.
If it can be lost then it can be won."
Not sure this is the soundest logic, but for now it'll do.
This song pretty much sums up my personal and professional life these days. Make of that what you will.
Broke Leg Falls #3
Menifee County Park
Wellington, Kentucky
This is the first falls you'll see if you head down the short trail to Broke Leg Falls #4 and in my opinion a difficult waterfall compositionally to capture. What makes this 6 foot falls difficult to shoot is the angle the falls dog legs around the rock in a very short distance. Some perspectives hide the upper part of the falls. I've shot this falls on two occasions, several times and this is the only shot that I feel is worth posting, but I also was in a little bit of a rush both times so next time I'm here I'm going to try some new perspectives and take my time.
Rolling right along south of Sagola MI is this Milwaukee eastbound with a U23B up front. I caught this job coming out of Channing and shot it multiple times as it made its way toward Iron Mountain in great light. At Iron Mountain I broke off the chase and headed back toward Escanaba to spend the rest of the day shooting C628's on ore trains. In retrospect I probably should have followed this job into Wisconsin as the Milwaukee and its U-boats would be gone from Upper Michigan a lot sooner than the CNW C628 fleet. September 1979.

Patrolling city.
Ready for anything and everything.
But no.
Not a soul outdoors.
We roll down the windows and play:

Loud.
My colleague looks at me and says: "We´ve lost it, haven´t we?"
I stare back. I grind my teeth. Blinks a lot. Tics in my face.
Tilt my head and say: "Nah. We´ll be fine. Just fine."
He: "You know, you scare me sometimes." Then he burst out in laughter.
Well, we do what we can to have fun.

Broke Leg Falls #4
Menifee County Park
Wellington, Kentucky

This is the last of a series of 4 waterfalls at this little known park about 15 miles outside Red River Gorge. This towering beauty is about 60 ft. tall and is one of the tallest in the state of Kentucky. The last time I was here in January there was a massive ice cone at the bottom of the falls that was about 20 ft. tall and a sheet of ice covered the steps.
The interesting story behind this adventure...We all descended the steps you can see across the gorge, and set up and started taking pitcures. Good friend Jason Haley set up on a flat platform under the steps. After a few minutes of shooting I went over to talk to him, as we were talking his 40d and tripod just launched off the platform, landing camera first about 20 ft. down in the gorge. We were both amazed, his head was turned to me and he didn't see it happen, but I did and he hadn't touched it, and there was no wind either. It was bizarre. The 40d was destroyed as was the wide angle lens that broke off and left the mount in the camera, the tripod came out fine. Later I would joke it was the ghost of Broke Leg Falls, because I have no other way to explain what happened.
Passing this I'm wondering how he managed to plow up the ground but a short distance behind him like bout 200 ft I see smoke in the grass as I pull up to the spot after tuning around he was walking to this spot with a fire extinguisher and a Farmer/Wife had just got to this spot - with the noise that happen they were in there garage and seen there cattle run off to the other end of the pasture.
