Late afternoon light dappled across the Mono Basin. View looking towards the Mono Craters & distant White Mountains.
Running only twice a month or so, the Petoskey turn plows through a foot of snow that has accumulated on the tracks since the last train passed. A MOW plow vehicle was used to clear the line starting at Mancelona the day before, but as I traveled further north on US 131 I was delighted to find that the tracks were only plowed as far north as Boyne City, allowing me to grab a few more shots of the train clearing snow before reaching the end of the line.
The crew is bringing up three 4-bay covered hoppers for Petoskey Plastics a few miles north of where this was taken, and by doing so will have arrived at the northernmost point accessible by rail in Michigan's lower peninsula. They would set out and pick up five empties for the trip back to Cadillac and tie the train up in Kalkaska for a relief crew to pick back up on the following morning.

Just moving things around again. 40 minutes before this series of images were taken the sky was a uniform dark gray and the wind almost carried out tent away. The sky finally started to clear this was the result!

One of my favorite quotes. This image was taken from my back yard.
Minutes after a Sonoran Desert snow storm. Southwest of Tucson. My side yard. No crop. No post processing.
I found this path off the main road on the entrance to Moraine View State Park near Leroy, Illinois this evening about 20 minutes before sunset. The forest was dimly light, what caught my eye was the light on the trees at the end of the path where it must open up into a clearing. I underexposed 1/3 to make sure the surrounding forest was dim and clearing was not overexposed.
I had come back to this location in Pontlottyn with the hope of catching the 37 here now that the later sunset might make this shot possible again. However, on what should be the final day, 37418 disgraced itself by failing yet again at Cardiff so the 17.01 to Rhymney was cancelled. Here 142002 at least provides a consolation shot. 2R18 Penarth to Rhymney.

Another old favorite redone in Capture One Pro 10 and Viveza. Taken on one witch cold morning here in Fairfax Station.
Snow had fallen throughout the previous day (11/11/18), leaving a bit more than a foot in my back yard. Anticipating good light, I walked to Chautauqua Park to see the clouds lifting off the flatirons, Boulder's distinctive formation of uplifted sandstone.
Boulder's early settlers referred to these 5 uplifted slabs as flatirons because they were similar to the triangular slabs of metal that they used to iron their clothes.

Thank you all for commenting and favouring my images it is very much appreciated.
The target of my trip to Parson Street yesterday was the new steel freight flow along the Portbury branch to Portbury docks. The eagle eyed amongst you will have spotted that this isn't a DB operated freight flow.
This is of course the 1457 Bristol FLT to Willesden stone train operated by DCR, part of the Cappagh group. 60029 has just cleared the yards and gets a green light from the signal behind me. The sun back lit the exhaust plume as the driver applies the power and the 60 clears her throat. According to some local enthusiasts the service normally crosses onto the centre line west of the station. With the train being on the slow line it offered a better angle for me and the other chaps who had turned up to bag a shot of the new steel train.
After being overcast for a good portion of the day, the skies began to clear making photos a little more interesting.
Pond, Clearing Fog. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
Tule fog thins above a Central Valley pond on a late-autumn morning.
The core of my landscape photography follows a pattern linked to the seasons — no surprise, I suppose, since the landscape is so profoundly affected by seasonal changes. Every year at this time my attention turns to California’s Great Central Valley, where the combination of migratory birds, tule fog, and its minimal landscape become my focus. I finally made it out there this week for the first time this season.
I suppose “normal people” would avoid this area on a day like this. Objectively speaking, this thick fog is not conducive to travel, and those who live there get tired of days and weeks of the cold and damp. But these conditions turn a landscape that can be a bit pedestrian into something mysterious and atmospheric. When I arrived before dawn the fog was so thick that I couldn’t see more than perhaps a hundred feet. But shortly after sunrise the fog began to drift and thin, faint windows opened in the sky above, and soft light began to subtly illuminate the landscape.

This was somewhere along Icefields Parkway between Bow Lake and Saskatchewan River Crossing. Perhaps one of you Albertans recognize it. Banff National Park, Canada
We get to enjoy the view by the River as the fog starts to clear away. This is a popular area in this region to be photographed. The ambiance is ever changing given the weather here by the Susquehanna River in Columbia, Pa. The river runs North to South so the sunsets looking to the West which is where I was positioned taking this photograph can be very beautiful. Thanks for viewing my photos. Gratitude and Kindness are present with me.
On a trip to Death Valley, I stayed in Las Vegas. As I was heading back to my Hotel after a couple of days in the valley the weather turned cold and snowy, yes, snow in Vegas. Along the highway were these mountains with a dusting of snow on them with the sky starting to clear at Sunset. This is a double vision of the storm below and the bright, clear skies above.
