A star trail photograph taken over 20min with the final frames lit up with a torch. I'm embracing the orange light pollution otherwise the torch light looks far to greeny bluey. i really need to get myself a really orange light/lantern so the white balance, balances.
Also i did think about investing some time removing the plane trails. But then i figured out 90% of the 107 photos had plane trails in them!

Mom, you're a wonderful mother,
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong.
You're patient when I'm foolish;
You give guidance when I ask;
It seems you can do most anything;
You're the master of every task.
You're a dependable source of comfort;
You're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble;
You support me whenever I call.
I love you more than you know;
You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
You'd be the one I'd select!
HOBACK:
“In the Tetons, two bull moose seem to get all of the attention: Hoback and Shoshone. There are several other majestic bulls, but over the past couple of years, the dynamic duo has become the stars of the show. Both are stunningly large and relatively “dependable” subjects. There are times, especially early and late in the season, when you might see them together, as they share much of the same territory. Over a period of three or four years of photographing them, I can suggest they enjoy each other’s company. During the heat of the rut, however, they can become mortal enemies!” By Mike R. Jackson www.bestofthetetons.com
Moose of Grand Teton
Moose are the largest member of the deer family and love cold weather. They frequent marshy meadows and edges of lakes and streams. About 800 Moose inhabit the southern part of Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park and surrounding national forests. Moose are most heavily concentrated in Grand Teton Park.
To keep from sinking in mud while feeding, as the animal lowers its foot, a large dewclaw spreads to better support the weight. Similarly, the odd-looking crook of the hind leg allows a Moose to pull the leg straight up, more easily releasing it from deep, sucking mud.
Bull Moose lose their antlers anytime between December and March. Most of the Moose drop them in January. Immature bulls may not shed their antlers for the winter but retain them until the following spring. Female Moose do not have antlers.
A new set of antlers begin to grow the following spring, nourished by the covering of furry skin known as velvet. They take three to five months to develop fully – the velvet is then scraped and rubbed off against bushes and branches. The antlers are then ready for battle. Generally, each set of antlers will be larger than the one before.
Birds, carnivores, and rodents eat dropped antlers as they are full of protein and Moose themselves will eat antler velvet for the nutrients.
Take note—cow Moose with young can be particularly dangerous.

As sunset scorches the treetops overhead, the train gets a clear signal through EE Smith Summit in a scene that could've taken place any time since an EMD GP40 first rolled out of the factory. Geeps on coal trains...something I thought was confined to the pages of Chessie System books!

Introduced back in 1996, the Seiko SKX013 is a compact yet robust dive watch. Measuring a modest 38mm in diameter, this model is a smaller sibling to the iconic SKX007, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more understated wrist presence without compromising on functionality.
The SKX013 features a unidirectional rotating bezel, a hallmark of professional dive watches, and a screw-down crown, ensuring water resistance up to 200 meters (ISO certified). Its automatic movement is the workhorse 7S26 caliber.
The watch’s luminous markers and hands offer excellent legibility in low-light conditions, a critical feature for divers.
Its classic black dial, paired with a rugged stainless steel case, lends it a timeless appeal suitable for both casual and formal settings. The day-date display at the 3 o’clock position adds practicality to its design.
Sadly, Seiko has now discontinued the watch, however, that should cement its cult status. For me, my SKX013 is a dependable friend that takes hard knocks in its stride and always looks the business!

As the name suggests, Ellery Creek Big Hole is a spectacular waterhole fed by the mighty Ellery Creek. This dependable tributary of the Finke River cuts through a gorge in the MacDonnell Ranges. Over the millennia, massive floods have carved out this beautiful waterhole and unlocked some amazing geology.
Although it we had mild temperatures this day, the light was good and even. A storm broke while we were at Ellery Creek Bighole, you can see the rain falling on the water. I came to Central Australia for the brilliant sunshine and the colours it generates, so this was a surprise.
Ducks gather to gobble up a few hands full of food tossed into the water.
I approached the pond to investigate orange cones and people wearing red jackets. It appeared that it was lifeguards protecting an ice covered pond. And sure enough, the life guards were out on Christmas reminding people not to swim in the water, or try to walk over the thin ice. While there, people started to feed the ducks and I snapped a few shots.
I do not feed random wild animals as a rule. Animals who learn to depend on humans for food find hardships and starvation when the weather gets bad and the food is no longer available. If you do feed birds, please make sure you are dependable as a food source for the entire season. Thanks.

Raritan Central Railroad RC-2 shoves down the Raritan Industrial Track with several cars destined for Yannuzzi Materials Corporation in Edison, NJ on September 18, 2020. This portion of the Raritan Industrial (former Lehigh Valley Greensand Branch) in Heller Industrial Park has sat unused for over two decades, but has recently been revived due to Yannuzzi shipping recycled building material via rail. Currently, rail traffic in Heller Industrial Park is sparse, with Dependable Food being the other remaining business left that ships via rail.
"Long Strider" Jim Slinkerbaugh traveled this road every day in 1927 to work at the Tumble Inn. It was about a five mile walk for him, one way, bare foot, in the snow. But, Jim really needed the work and he didn't mind. He started off washing dishes in the cafe and later pumped gas at the Richfield gas station. Jim was very dependable. Then, all of a sudden, Jim quit showing up for work.

Still dressed in factory applied "Dependable Transportation" livery, a Union Pacific GP30 idles on the Stumble Lead in Provo, Utah on Dec. 29, 1978. UP 718 was built by EMD for UP in February 1963 and retired from the roster in August 1985.
GP9 2554 works the evening yard job, switching out the transfer tracks in front of the yard office. This unit was a wreck rebuild using various parts from a SP GP35 as I recall and from what I heard it was never very dependable. This is the only time I saw it assigned to Soo Yard and it lasted here about two weeks before it had to be shipped back to Minneapolis for repairs.
Taos Pueblo (or Pueblo de Taos) is an ancient pueblo belonging to a Taos (Northern Tiwa) speaking Native American tribe of Pueblo people. The Red Willow Creek, or Rio Pueblo, is a small stream which flows through the middle of the pueblo from its source in the Sangre de Cristo Range. A reservation of 95,000 acres (384 km²) is attached to the pueblo, and about 1,900 people live in this area. Most archeologists believe that the Taos Indians along with other Pueblo Indians settled along the Rio Grande migrated from the Four Corners region. The dwellings of that region were inhabited by the Anasazi, and a long drought in the area in the late 1200s may have caused them to move to the Rio Grande where the water supply was more dependable.
The cemetery is where the original San Geronimo Church once stood. That church was built around 1619 by the spanish with Indian slave labor in order for them to become "civilized." This lead to the Pueblo Revolt in 1680 when the Spaniards were driven from New Mexico and the Pueblo Indians had a brief period of freedom. The church was reconstructed in 1706.

Construction of Norris Dam began in 1933, just a few months after the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and was completed in 1936. It has two generating units with a summer net dependable capacity of 126 megawatts. The reservoir area (seen on the left side of the dam in the photograph above) also helped form the backbone for the Tennessee State Park system. Norris Reservoir in extends 73 miles up the Clinch River and 56 miles up the Powell from Norris Dam creating the entire reservoir area. It was the first dam TVA built, and is named for Senator George Norris of Nebraska, author of the legislation that created TVA.
-- Norris Dam Facts & Figures --
‧ The dam is 265 feet high and stretches 1,860 feet across the Clinch River.
‧ Norris Lake of Reservoir, the largest reservoir on a tributary of the Tennessee River, has 33,840 acres of water surface and 809 miles of shoreline.
‧ Norris Dam is a hydroelectric facility. It has two generating units with a summer net dependable capacity of 126 megawatts. Net dependable capacity is the amount of power a dam can produce on an average day, minus the electricity used by the dam itself.
‧ The town of Norris was built to house construction workers on the dam. It was a planned community that became a model for others throughout the nation. The town was sold to private owners in 1948.
‧ In a year with normal rainfall, the water level in Norris Reservoir varies about 29 feet from summer to winter to provide seasonal flood storage.
‧ The reservoir has a flood-storage capacity of 1,113,000 acre-feet.
‧ You can find Norris Dam off Hwy. 441 at 30 Powerhouse Way, Norris, Tennessee.
Because of it's historical significance in the area of Civil Engineering and in the creation of the town of Norris, Norris Dam was added to the ASCE List of Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks in 1986 and the Norris District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 1975.
