About 10 mins before I took this image the fog was so thick this scene didnt exist. Thick fog was blanketing the area all afternoon and then lifting in patches to reveal wonderful landscapes in Joshua Tree NP, California.

Thanks to a last second heads up, New Hampshire Northcoast decided to take their recent acquired Jordan Spreader for a run with their two GP18. Seen here pushing snow along Milton Pond. Photo taken Milton, NH February 20, 2025
'A sharpened machete in an overgrown place'.
Here sits the remnants to history of a company office, from the by-gone era of a once thriving local logging industry. The standing structures, all but gone, masonry remnants, strewn & scattered. Covered in weeds, twisted in vines. Mortar seeps through the cracks, of old earthen covered bricks. A rusty nail, a broken tile, and a dirty flimsy shingle. Take a rest to stop and think to decades gone-by. Distinct echoes of human chatter, the sawmill whistle, to the whirling and whining of saw blades, grinding as they split through fresh cut wood. The clatter as the lumber stacks, ready to ship away to distant places. The horn blowing sound of a locomotive, as the wheels begin to turn in rotation in forward motion. The work day for them ends, to the sound of the sawmill whistle.
Death Valley, California
I arrived in Death Valley during a widespread rainstorm, a very disconcerting experience in this most arid of regions. Here the clouds are beginning to clear from the western side of the Black Mountains as shafts of afternoon sunlight are playing on the mountain slopes.
As I got the last of the really nice light and the mist drifting up the slope, this had to be in mono!

Early summer rainclouds start to break up over Poppit Sands and Cemaes Head, which is the most northerly part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
This part of the coast and the divide between the counties of Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion is the estuary of the Teifi river.
A series of small thunderstorms has been passing through the Bear Lake Valley. I hope they will clear out the wildfire smoke that has been hanging on for several days.

Two days after the storm, a frozen chunk of snow slowly slid off the table - I guess the ground tilts to the west - revealing the tree reflected against the sky, or something like that.
Having just weathered a passing snowstorm, I set about the task of making some images in the tail end of some amazing light. My gear was pretty wet and the air temperature freezing cold, but I was well aware of the fact that dramatic light is usually only fleeting and making the most of such situations is all part of being a landscape photographer. This was a session where I mistakenly shot only on jpeg, instead of RAW, so I had to do the best I could with the processing.
After setting off their inbound cars for Arizona & California interchange, power from M-PHXMAT returns to the main. Below the lead engine is the East Siding Switch for Castle Hot Springs siding. Although timetable-east, this end of the siding is northwest as far as the compass is concerned. The 543 was probably the best looking warbonnet GE on the roster two decades after the merger.
