Michael Freeman says the essence of street photography is taking pictures of something the photographer, and the photographer only, has seen.
I see street photography allows a moment no one else would know about being captured.
Quantum mechanics says something exists in a specific shape when we observe it.
Who's right? Freeman, quantum mechanics or me? 😊

This is the East Rockford interlocking / control point at milepost 85.6 west on the CN North Division, Freeport Subdivision in Rockford Illinois. This view is looking west to east from below the Seminary Street road bridge. The wye to the right is the Illinois Railway connection to the CP at Davis Junction IL and the UP and BNSF at Flag Center IL. The fence on the left is the south side of the huge Behr Iron and Metal scrap recycling yard. Just out of sight around the bend to the left is the Behr Iron and Metal electric switch that the Illinois Railway uses most week nights to switch the busy scrap yard. Previously East Rockford was the location of the historic IC/CB&Q diamond which was once controlled by a manned interlocking tower located at this site.

This week's 366 assignment was "Plant Life" and on my search for it I came across the most amazing of sights. This bumble bee carries a CNX control point on its shoulders. Folks who use Nikon's Capture NX software will probably agree.
No software was used to add this control point, nor were any bumblebees hurt during the photo session. If anyone can tell me what that spot is, I would greatly appreciate it, because I have no clue.
Sometimes it's useless to try to light up a picture. The 150-600 is a "dark" lens, at 600mm the biggest aperture is 6.3 (this is 8. It is a limit of mine, or an obsession, but I don't like going for half stops.)
So what I thought I could do was simply make it more charming. Considering the hour was getting late, and considering the other picture of theirs I had already taken (check in comments) and the fact they really kept talking for a long time, why then not telling the actual story?

Or at least there is a very low probability it was ever used.
One of many.
Survey point nail hammered into tree stub and marked with red spray and ribbon. Surveyed with a Leica 300 or 1200 series GPS using RTK, two times some hours apart.
After a while one learned to disregard any measurements with a PDOP* higher than 3 or 4... The accuracy we where going for was 5 cm (about 2 in) (1 sigma), if we did not get within that on the second survey we did a third and so on.
* PDOP (Position, dilution of precision) is a bit simplified an estimate of how accurate the 2D position measurement is. It depends on how well spread out the GPS satellites are, and surprisingly much on the time of day (it is much better in the morning). My guess is that during the day the sun excites the ionosphere which already before that is one of the largest contributors to the GPS measurement error.
