This is an older shot from one of my airport shootings. I really like it there. Lots of opportunities.

The setting sun catches the side of the vertical retort building (1932) at the site of the old Launceston Gas Company. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launceston_Gasworks
In 1826 Launceston, like most cities was running on sperm whale oil for their lamps. But in 1844, Dr William Pugh (a pioneer of anesthetic medicine) produced a means by which he could convert coal into methane gas to light his house. This was an idea that took off quickly around the world and gas companies were formed to mass produce methane gas from coal.
In 1858 the Launceston Gas Company was formed and on 5 April 1860 the city turned on its gas powered street lights for the first time. In 1932 the vertical retort building we see here (where the actual conversion process was carried out) was built. It was a far more efficient and larger means of producing more gas. Most of the coal was actually shipped in from the Hunter Valley and down the Tamar to the wharf directly outside the main entrance to the gasworks.
By the 1970s LPG had become more convenient and a cheaper form of gas and so the conversion processing plant was shut down.
So this is my tribute to yesteryear. Enjoy it while it lasts. It was also part of my personal challenge to only use a 50mm lens.

Construction began in the spring of 1907 in Rhyolite, NV and by 1910 the Cook Bank was closed. The bank was three stories tall and housed the local Post Office in the basement. The inside had marble staircases and all the modern conveniences, like electric lights and indoor plumbing. A financial crisis at the time caused banks across the country to go bankrupt.
October 10, 1999 finds GBSOA thundering down the hill near Cooks with 6593, 1762, 1761, 1756 and 2054. The WC had done a lot of track work in the area and the hogger was putting that to good use on this fine fall afternoon.
The sun sets above with the clouds over Mammoth Hot Springs there in Yellowstone. It was incredible view to behold. Tried to do it some justice with this handheld capture.

Half way between Mount Cook village and the Hooker Glacier we came across this old hut. As can be seen all the way up the valley New Zealand's high point dominated the approach.

Taken from SH 8 on the golden hour at about a 60 km distance away (as the crow flies) on the shore of Lake Pukaki. Due to the use of the 105 mm prime this is a heavy crop in pp. My initial plan was to shoot a wider view but decided during pp it looked a lot better cropped as the foreground was just too much water.

You might conclude that I've gone beserk with the colour sliders.
But No.
The low low tide exposed all the normally covered reef and sandbar.
The intense green in the sunlight caught my attention.
