Perfect conditions for my first visit here, and what a fantastic location for railway photography.
'Sarah' with the 6S45 06.25 Blyth - Fort William loaded alumina tanks, the train has just passed through Rannoch station on the right of the image.
This train is the only scheduled freight on this line, typically running 2 or 3 times a week each way. In the winter and darker months it passes here in darkness.
Must be seen 'large'.
This image shows a DP World logistics diesel locomotive, specifically an EMD SD70ACS model used in UAE's Etihad Rail network.
It features powerful motors designed to haul heavy loads, such as sulfur trains consisting of up to 100 wagons.
The locomotives are equipped with advanced air filtration systems specifically designed to operate in desert conditions.
These units utilize modern emission reduction technology, intended to significantly lower carbon emissions compared to traditional freight transport.

Hiking along River Weser today in mild conditions before we face hotter days middle of this week. Although July was a dry month, vegetation in the Weser Meadow is still green. Dehme, Ostwestfalen, Germany
Been having some eye issues for over a week should get it fixed next Tuesday. Complication from cataract surgery!
Some very atmospheric and eerie misty conditions yesterday at Port Eynon Point on Gower. Not sure if the clouds would be classified as sea fog or a cloud inversion. If any experts out there could clarify I would be most grateful!
Today there were beautiful weather conditions in the area Waterland, February 24, 2016.
The rain clouds were enormous while the sun was shining at the locations where I took these pictures. I was happy that I came home on my bike without becoming too wet.
This picture is taken on the Uitdammerdijk with left the Kinselmeer and right the IJmeer and Monnickendam at the horizon under the dark hail cloud.

There was a thick layer of snow last night but it is almost washed away by rain…I know it can be dangerous etc but I did hope to get some up to date snow shots today but it’s almost all washed away. Less dangerous for many but disappointing for children who were getting excited about going sledging etc….

Idyllic conditions in the Ribble Valley this morning, Horwich Black Five 44932 heads the ‘Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express’ past the frozen fields on the outskirts of Gisburn…
Sometimes the conditions for an eye-popping panorama just aren't there... like on this morning when clouds had covered most of the Wenkchemna Peaks in Banff National Park. Fortunately, a brief window opened up in the cloud cover and beautifully illuminated the larches on the north side of little Eiffel Lake.

Then there are days that are not really suitable for photography. A photo should be able to show these conditions clearly.
There were bazillions of these birds on fence posts in most any wetland area. Strangely enough, we only saw one or two Upland Sandpipers the entire trip which I would have thought we would have seen many more with the given habitat. They also perch on these fence posts in grassy wetland areas.
Again--way too high an ISO for these bright light conditions---
This is what happens when using a new camera not knowing all of its nuances just yet----NOW I KNOW!!!
Conditions de prises de vue extrêmes, peu de luminosité des installations, pas de pied, vent, je pense que le résulat n'est pas trop mal!
Le parc est créé dans le cadre de l'exposition internationale Emscher Park. Localisé sur le site d'une ancienne sidérurgie, le parc paysager est l'un des points d'ancrage de la Route européenne de la culture industrielle et de la Route de la culture industrielle (de) de la Ruhr. Le quotidien britannique The Guardian classe le parc parmi les dix meilleurs parcs urbains du monde aux côtés du High Line (New York), des Buttes-Chaumont (Paris), de Hampstead Heath (Londres) et du Parc Güell (Barcelone)1. En 2016, le parc accueille 1 019 391 visiteurs et plus de 800 événements.
Les installations industrielles sont mises en scène tous les jours à la tombée de la nuit jusqu'à 1 h avec un éclairage coloré par Jonathan Park.
Extreme shooting conditions, little light from the installations, no feet, wind, I think the result isn't too bad!

10th December 2002 and in superb conditions 6233 Duchess of Sutherland is seen on the approach to Clapham Junction. I had discounted this shot due to the modern unit, 450003, but decided to process as it shows the old and the new of transport at the time
A long exposure photo taken near Svartisen in Northern Norway. A very dark storm was closing in, and a few breaks in the clouds allowed the sun to shine through, resulting in these dramatic conditions
Blowing snow and high winds on Monday made for poor visibility on the roads in Stanley Bridge and Cavendish. Hopefully, the last storm this winter.
I seem to have an inbuilt alarm clock that wakes me at 4.30 am. The first act of the day is to peer outside to gauge conditions. A glance at the sky, is there likely to be a colourful sunrise? Next a glance at the Silver Birch next door, is it calm, will there be any mist? This particular morning the omens were not good, clear blue sky, although it was cold and calm. I got back into bed. But then the nagging voices started. The forecast didn’t call for mist, but what if????
One of those voices was from one of my favourite You Tubers. To quote ‘past a certain level of technical competency there’s only one thing that will improve your photography, getting out there’. There’s a debate to be had whether I’ve reached any level of competency, there is still much to learn, but the advice in those words is wise, if you are not there you can’t take that photo can you? I dragged my sorry arse out of bed.
I was a bit behind schedule following my internal struggles, so I went for a close by option, up the eastern side of the Trent Valley north of Gainsborough. Its one of my favourite cycle routes, I’ve been up the road past little villages like East Stockwith and Wildsworth hundreds of times over the years, but I’ve never speculated a misty morning on it. It’s flat and festooned with power cables and telegraph poles, they just about get in every shot. But as I headed down the hill to the river there was indeed mist! Strange mist, hovering above the fields but with a thick blanket about 30 foot off the ground too.
Mist is the great transformer, I’ve looked at these trees so many times, there’s no composition to be had with the clutter of an untidy farmyard at their base, all of which was suddenly hidden in the mist and shadows, transforming the scene. The sun had risen, all turned orange (I’ve actually de saturated this image, the colours didn’t look real out of the camera), then I got these crepuscular rays.
It will never be an award winning shot, but its a record of a special moment and one that I alone experienced stood there that morning. So the moral of the story for me is, get out of bed lazy bones!
Taken from the ridge above Bretton, looking southwards towards Cressbrook Dale. The low sun was just about to sink below a bank of low cloud above the horizon, creating some wonderful lighting conditions to accentuate the classic field patterns and dry stone walls in this part of the Peak District.
This was taken yesterday but it heralds the firey day we will have today. Forecast is for 37 C with >90kmph winds. Not the best conditions for the Fire and Emergency people. There is quite a lot of vegetation given the previous few years very mild, La Nina wet weather. So here's hoping we don't have any big fires.
Today is a total fire ban day.
I often see photos of waterbirds especially from outside of the UK where the background in a photo is a beautiful gold colour and the subject is softly illuminated but I rarely see it in the UK thanks to our all to often gloomy winters and my lack of time for photography! However, as the sun started to set when I was photographing this little egret I finally got my chance to photograph in those conditions and I made the most of it
icm. 'sunrise chaos bayside"
In Queensland & NSW, Australia, we have massive bush fires burning - 55 fires in Queensland. 3 deaths, many homes burnt & thousand evacuated from their homes & predicted worse weather conditions coming on Tuesday. We've got unseasonably hot windy conditions & Brisbane has been blanketed with smoke haze which resulted in a firey red sunrise today.
I captured some (in focus) images, but I thought this icm image captured the chaos many must be going through at the moment.
Gratitude to all fire fighters & volunteers.
Update... 72 fires still burning across NSW. 150+ homes destroyed, 40 injured.
I popped down Loch Eilt to a location where I could look across at the Fort William to Mallaig line. Quickly I saw I hadn't got the right day. I need the waters to be flat calm to get a nice reflection. And some nice light on the hills would help. The train, the Jacobite, was only slightly late but when it came, horror of horrors it was an old diesel relic pulling the train, and not a famous Black Five.........todays' train, no steam or smolke, definitely couldn't be called the Hogwart's Express. I tried imagining how many passengers would be disappointed the steam engine had been replaced with a diesel: it's just not the same.
So I had decided on a two frame stitched pano shot but that went wrong too! I seem to have cut off the end of the train in 'merging' the images. So with a steam train, streaming smoke and steam against the mountains, reflected on still waters it might have looked something, but...not today! At least I don't have to travel far for another try, but I can't predict what the conditions are like on the other side of the mountains from home!
The conditions were perfect and constantly changing, when the light broke through the clouds you could hear an audible gasp from all the photographers occupying space at Oxbow Bend.
What appear to be icebergs here are rock shelves that have frozen over by the waves during last week's 10 below zero weather.
It was -25 F. with the windchill when I ventured out and took this picture. I was dressed appropriately, but I still could only manage 45 minutes before having to get back into my warm car and go home.
The ducks apparently didn't get the memo :)
The sunset colors created this lovely color palette.
Lighting conditions were far from ideal in the hazy, smoggy, harsh midday sun of Feb.

Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!
The only red GEVO in the lineup, which doesn’t make it any better, but means you’ll only have to close your eyes once ;). In all seriousness, with conditions like this, I mostly just pray it’s not a pissbrick because just about anything else can be managed.
By now, many of you should be familiar with these trains. As of right now, the CP traffic makes up about two to four out of every 10 trains on the Portland Sub. Obviously this number fluctuates month to month, but it’s safe to say that roughly 20% or more of all traffic comes out of Eastport. This number has risen quite a bit in the past few years.
Back in 2018, Canpotex—the company that produces and ships potash out of Canada—completed a $150 million upgrade to Terminal 5 at the Port of Portland. The company said the upgrades would result in a capacity to export up to 7.5 million metric tons of potash annually. In August of 2024, UP published on their website that they had completed a record number of shipments of potash out of Terminal 5 in the second quarter of the year, but it gave no official numbers. The only statistic given was that Portland exports roughly 20% of Canpotex’s annual potash supply, which is “more than 13 million tons.” This didn’t seem to add up, or perhaps they were old numbers on their website, so I did some more digging. On the Port of Portland’s website, I found yearly export statistics going back to 1994. In 2024, listed under “Mineral Bulk Tonnage,” the port exported 7.59 million metric tons (8.37 million tons) to ocean going vessels. This was the third time they have eclipsed 7 million metric tons exported, and the first time since 2019. However, I’m unsure if this includes the soda ash trains out of Wyoming that are exported through Terminal 4, and being unsatisfied with the answer, I did some basic calculations.
Based on information I have, the trains run in sets of 189 (UP’s website says 188, but their computer says 189, so who knows) and are roughly 27,000 tons each. Numbers I found say that they export “more than a dozen trains per month”, which means UP probably exported somewhere between 4 million and 6 million tons of potash through Terminal 5 in 2024. That puts the train count somewhere between 15-18. I’ve also heard Canpotex wants to increase the train length closer to or even over the 200 car range, which would push these trains to 9500 feet in length. I’m a numbers guy so I found this all to be fascinating, though perhaps some of you find this to be rather abhorrent.
As for the grain trains, like the one pictured here, it’s harder to find information. Unlike the potash trains, these do not come from a single customer, and I would assume they come from all over the CPKC system. Perhaps someone out there has more information about how this handoff works or how the contract for these trains work, if that information can be shared.

Celilo, OR // UP Portland Sub
Trabucco on the river Cornia. According to some historians, the trabucco was an invention imported by the Phoenicians. The oldest documented date of existence dates back to the 18th century, a period in which the fishermen of Abruzzo had to work hard to devise a fishing technique that was not subject to the weather and sea conditions of the area.
Broken snow shoes, and spending the night in one of the fiercest coldest storms on the rim are part of the story. My only regret here is that I had to leave when I did, mostly catalyzed by a broken window in the jeep, but also due to the frigid temperatures of starting the diesel at 10 degrees Fahrenheit without being able to plug it in somewhere. There's nothing quite like photography in clearing, or oncoming storm conditions. In this case it was oncoming, and soon there was a blanket of fog pouring up the side of the caldera creating my first brocken spectre. Really just a magical whisper of what is hopefully to come this winter.

In freezing conditions, the driver applies some power as 66168 passes Elmswell in charge of the 6L40 04.52 Mountsorrel Sdgs - Barham loaded stone on Saturday 22 January 2022. Pole shot.
I made this shot near Hohnstein castle in the Elbe Sandstone mountains. The conditions didn't develop as I was hoping, unfortunately. And so I was already on my way back home. As I did turn the car I saw this terrific sky. So I quickly parked the car and simply walked speedily in that direction hoping to find anything to combine with the sky. Off course I had to walk uphill all the time, sometimes everything is fitting. Here I am, exhausted, on a farm track, five minutes before the party was over. I like it.
Diese Aufnahme entstand in der Nähe der Burg Hohnstein im Elbsandsteingebirge. Leider hatten sich die Verhältnisse bei Sonnenuntergang nicht so entwickelt wie ich wollte und ich macht mich bereits auf dem Heimweg. Als ich das Auto gewendet hatte sah ich plötzlich diesen grandiosen Himmel. Also schnell das Auto gestoppt und zügig einfach in die Richtung gelaufen, in der Hoffung irgendwas zu finden, was ich mit dem Himmel kombinieren kann. Natürlich ging’s die ganze Zeit bergauf, manchmal passt es einfach. Und hier bin nun, ausgepowert, auf einem Feldweg, fünf Minuten bevor der Spass vorbei war. Mir gefällt es.
