Union Pacific's Denver - Salt Lake City OCS train glides down the legendary Denver & Rio Grande Western, 10 miles west (by rail) of Soldier Summit. The location is Gilluly, Utah, where the track descends the Wasatch Mountains on a 2% grade, through an eight degree curve over Soldier Creek. This has always been a favorite spot of mine for watching trains wind through the reverse curves. Even UP looks pretty good here, although the Rio Grande Zephyr looked far better. April 25, 2024
“Bend down low, let me tell you what I know now
Bend down low, let me tell you what I know
Oh! Fisherman row to reap what you sow now
Oh, tell you all I know (Oo-oh!)
You have got to let me go now (Oo-oh!)
And all you have got to do
(Bend down low) Oh yeah! Let me tell you what I know
Bend down low, let me tell you what I know, Oh yeah”
~From the song by Bob Marley and the Wailers~

I think this was my best shot of 2020. The pandemic was in its early days. I felt like that jackrabbit. I was on high alert. In May I'd exited from my business of 25 years (no work) and moved into a new job for the summer. I was very... lucky. I was also very alert.
My family and I took walks in fields after dinner. There were a ton of rabbits. There were no planes. No cars. The city was weirdly quiet. I felt compelled to make keen observations and good judgments, just like the rabbits in Watership Down.
"The full moon covered the high solitude with its light. We are not conscious of daylight as that which displaces darkness. Moonlight...is inconstant. It transforms.”

Straight shot down the slip to get the two other ships that were either blocked or just out of frame, as almost 52,000 TEU wait to get worked at both Fenix Marnie and APM after the holiday break with the smallest ship being APL Florida at 6,282 TEU and the largest being MSC Venice coming in at just over 15,000 TEUs.

Fall in the San Juan Mountains is my favorite time of year. I only got about 30 minutes (literally) to photograph it this last year. We normally spend a week there but it wasn't possible due to some work complications. I only got these photos due to having to pick up my mom for a family funeral. It was the end of the season but I was thankful for those 30 minutes soaking up the views.

Rain started and Misha decided to lay down in the canoe as we paddled further on the Cornwall Canal.
Soon after, moderate rainfall, as viewed below…
So, I'm a-walkin' down your highway
Just as far as my poor eyes can see

So, I tried to go crabbing at Baker Beach in The City on Veterans Day and failed to remember that it was part of the GGNRA, The Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which is a federal entity and thus CLOSED due to the government shutdown...
It's a 90-minute drive from my home so I wandered around and played tourist, appalled by the litter that the real tourists had left at the vista point to the GGB...
Funny position of a mechanic head first in the cockpit of an Alphajet of the Patrouille de France.
I don’t know if the pilot had lost his keys by rolling and looping.

Je ne sais pas si à force de faire des tonneaux et des loopings, le pilote avait peut-être perdu ses clés.

Early on in the evening for our midnight sun/iceberg cruise in Greenland. A few sightings of majestic humpback whales - none breeching for us that evening- but a few flicking their tails when they dive down to deeper water.
It's been raining and dreary for the last few days, so I've been doing some woodwork , making Christmas presents. It's fun to work with wood, and this shot was taken on an evening when the sunset didn't perform, so I got carried away with this beautiful piece of driftwood. Once I realised I could balance it on the rock, it was then a question of could I balance some stones on it. My original thought was to balance something on the very end, but the laws of physics taught me very quickly that this was not possible. I then had a fun few minutes playing with these natural weighing scales, , which had a beautiful slow movement to them . Balancing beach pebbles on thin branches isn't easy , especially when the whole thing pivots. It is such great fun though , and I just love the challenge. So Rain down rain by Holly Golightly is fine, as it's another dray in the shed , seeing what wood will let me do.

A zebra dove (geopelia striata) snuggled down for an afternoon's rest. These birds spend much of their time foraging for seeds at ground level and are quite happy to relax on the ground rather than in trees. Photographed at Trou D'Eau Douce, Mauritius.
There is no such thing as to many street running shots!
Another view of Pioneer Valley local PV2 as I followed them up Water Street. After shooting them sitting on the truss bridge over the Third Level Canal outlet I still had time to drive up and around through the center of town and get in position for the northerly section of street running thanks to Pan Am's inability to answer the phone for more than 20 minutes! Finally on the move again the single geep is shoving two empties up Middle Water Street toward the Cabot Street crossing where they will swing out of the street and across the Third Level Canal bridge whose repair led to the reopening of this gateway.

As seen in a panned photograph from the West Santa Fe Road overpass just east of Edelstein, Illinois, Santa Fe EMD SD45 No. 5357 leads an eastbound freight down Edelstein Hill on August 20, 1988. The locomotive is painted in red and yellow “Kodachrome” colors of the ill-fated Southern Pacific Santa Fe merger.
Posting that recent hammerhead photo reminded me of this trip a couple years ago. Here is a proper back to back set with a train to boot! Despite being dressed in modern YN3b paint 468 is a (then) 19 year old AC4400CW built by GE in Aug. 2000.
They are rolling down two blocks of South 7th Street and just behind me they will cross Union Street at MP QCV 1 on the Claverack Industrial Track and curve to drop down the steep 3.22% grade to the yard beside Amtrak's Hudson Line main. This job solely exists to serve the ADM flour mill located in the former Lone Star Cement facility that is also the only reason this unique two mile stretch of the former Boston and Albany Railroad's Hudson and Chatham Branch survives.
