Yesterday morning I was up early getting ready to go pick up Ashley for a day out of shooting. When I started driving I noticed the clouds were so low in the sky. It felt like driving down a corridor where clouds replaced the ceiling. As I approached the canyon that I had to drive through to get to her, the fog became so thick I could barely see the car in front of me. I pulled off the road at the first chance I got, threw on my dress, set up my tripod and camera, and did what I felt in my heart was right to do. I didn't have an idea planned, but instantly I knew what would make me feel most fulfilled.
Shooting lasted 5 minutes and by the time I was finished I was soaked in mud - the bottom of the dress, my sneakers, the jumper I wore underneath. I felt bad because she was going to use that dress later in the day. When I arrived to pick her up I was warmly greeted with new shoes and a dryer to put the dress in, and all was well...or...all was *right*. Everything was in it's right place.
Cannock Chase - designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) - is in Staffordshire, England. We recently decided to explore this area in more detail.

LUMIPro18 Animation Pose 31 of 250: Couture2F
A photographer stands on the edge of the Higger Tor escarpment and the silhouette just reminds me of the phrase "chasing the light". Well I certainly got the light on this occasion as the sun dipped over the western horizon in the Peak District. I was precariously perched on the Kit Kat rocks looking along the escarpment as there was a photography workshop taking up the usual positions for sunset when I arrived there. So I was forced to improvise! These book end shaped rocks normally feature in sunrise shots as they are lit up by the dawn light. You can make out some other photographers on the far ridge near the setting sun.
My tripod was set at a strange angle just to get this shot and I was balancing shakily to utilise the live view on my camera. Good job it wasn't too windy up there. I have posted a portrait view of this scene, but I like this one and the photographer on the ridge helps make it more poignant.
A spectacular sunrise over Cranborne Chase last week. In spite of the promised mist, it was still worth the early start.
Regretting his past follies, Prince of Crows flew through many continents, traversed through different magical worlds before stumbling upon the location of his beloved wife…After battling many storms and hunted by thunders, Prince finally collapsed gratefully into the warm embrace of Lady Crow. Never again will he risk his happiness in exchange for a seat in the throne of Power.
(sorry ppl - last one I promise;)....)
Shadows begin to ease their way up the side of the Santa Fe depot at Vaughn as a westbound roars through town chasing the setting sun across the high plains of New Mexico.
One black skimmer chasing another is a common sight at a skimmer nesting colony. Unless there is a fish to be stolen, the objective of the chasing skimmer seems to be to "bite" the chased skimmer, usually on the tail feathers.
As Autumn arrives in the Misty Glens of Scotland these magnificent creatures frequent the lower grounds.
2/3 Cambridge "Half Marathon" series. A proper Spring day yesterday for the race. Winter again today.
A bright day at last and I pointed the camera at anything I thought slow enough to capture in flight. I expected to see the same species of goose together, but no, this was a proper goose chase! They flew round the lake a few times. Presumably territorial but who knows could it be amorous?
Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!
Those kids just came out of nowhere when I was taking this picture. Afterwards, I'm kind of sad I didn't get the chance to thank them for doing so.

i have spent my weekend chasing echoes...elusive, magical echoes of lives lived long ago. i believe you can catch them in snippets,but only if you listen with your heart...
I think this bird was a Merlin. The bird was moving very fast so I was very lucky to catch the moment before the bird got the lure in its beak.
Cheetah mom and daughter(?) resting in the middle of the riverbed. They saw some springbok and hid behind the dead tree. They chased but the springbok escaped.

Collecting slides over the last 2.5 years or so has been an unexpectedly rewarding project. It has provided me with so much extra knowledge for my interest in local operations and for my model railroading, it has allowed me to revisit old memories, and it's just been really great.
I recently had another chance to revisit an event I never forgot about;
On Saturday August 10th 2002, I was in Brunswick with my grandma and grandpa watching trains that evening. We got a pizza and tailgated in the parking lot. I had just turned 14 and Brunswick was like a railfan mecca to me.
Towards the end of the evening, maybe around 930pm, a set of three engines consisting of a CSX C30-7, an exCR C36-7, and exCR SD60I #8750 backed out from the yard, across Maple Ave, and tied onto a set of orange ballast cars that had been sitting under the over pass. I think the cars had been sitting on either track 34 or the runaround. Shortly after, the CPL dwarf showed a medium clear from 4-runner to number two, and the ballast train pulled out of Brunswick. I remember seeing the glow inside the cab of 8750 from the computer screens. I want to say they called themselves W055 on the radio.
My grandmother (of all people) said "I bet we can beat them to Washington Grove" (near there house, where the train would pass eventually). Both myself and my grandpa told her there is no way we would beat the train; the trackage had a much shorter distance to cover to get to Washington Grove than we did. We'd be taking 340 out of Brunswick all the way to Frederick to meet I-270 south. Then we'd have to exit, and take some local streets to finally be trackside.
My grandmother, her lead foot, and us in tow flew down the highway in their 2000 Town and Country van. I had my scanner still on, but we were too far from the tracks to hear the train calling signals.
We crossed the grade crossing at Washington Grove, and sure enough there was a clear on #2 track at the Derwood Dip signal. By the time we turned into the gravel lot at the MARC station, the gates were going down behind us, and the bright lights of the eastbound were ripping into view in front of us. I remember throwing open my door as the train screamed by at track speed or close to it.
My grandmother was delighted in asserting her victory over beating the train from Brunswick to Washington Grove that night. We all had a good time, and she still talks about it to this day.
Fast forward almost 20 years to the day later, and I find a slide of that exact same train from the next day, Sunday 8-11-02. The train is seen tied down at Doswell Va on #4 track in the yard. The train was likely empty or mostly empty, and is staging at Doswell until a C&O crew would take it over the Piedmont Sub to Verdon for another load of ballast. My jaw hit the floor when I saw this slide while scrolling on ebay. Once again as life came full circle for me, I saw this slide while sitting on my own freight train stopped at the signal in Bayview. Dreams do come true I guess.
Objectively, the slide is nothing special; the train is stopped, headlights off....far track side, bottom of the wheels cut off....a little wonky on the composition...but to me, it's now one of my favorite slides.
