Dawn's golden light bathed the derelict Holiday Inn Express hotel marina in Port Huron, Michigan.
Later that afternoon, a short but vicious rainstorm blew the hotel's patio furniture across the lawn and out of the area, but the decrepit marina still stood.
It's 7.30am and, while the sun is coming up, the mist still hangs in the air from the overnight cold as well as the many fires used to cook and take the chill off folk at this time of day.
On the platform at Shahi station there's a healthy sprinkling of passengers anticipating the arrival of the 7.15am Pilibhit - Izatnagar service (train 52208), which is seen here pulling into the station. Alco YDM4 metre-gauge unit 6515 is doing the honours.
The train will spend time here waiting for the 6.20am Izatnagar - Aishbagh express to pass through on the centre track before carrying on with its journey. The route is single track and token operated.
Note the raised platform faces on the right, and the section on the left beside the train - this was advanced infrastructure work ahead of conversion of the route to broad gauge.
The atmospheric mist proved transient and, by the time the train got going again some 12 minutes later, it had all but evaporated.
The whole scene, for me, just summed up the charm of the now largely lost metre-gauge lines over there. I've tried to give it an artistic twist, which may not be everyone's cup of chai. Best viewed large.

Photographing at dawn
Dawn is a special time for photographers who want to capture atmospheric landscape images. The colors of the sky are soft and harmonious, the light is soft and diffuse, and nature slowly comes to life. But how can you photograph the dawn in the best possible way? Here are some tips that can help you.
- Plan ahead: find a suitable location from which you have a good view of the horizon. Find out the exact time of sunrise and be there at least half an hour before to set up and take advantage of the best lighting conditions - Use a tripod: since the light is still weak at dawn, you need a longer exposure time to capture enough detail. Therefore, to avoid camera shake, you should use a tripod. It also allows you to better frame the image and try different settings - Experiment with the aperture: The aperture affects the depth of field and the light intensity of your image. Depending on whether you want a sharp foreground or a blurred background, you can choose an open or closed aperture. An open aperture lets in more light, but reduces the depth of field. A closed aperture increases depth of field but decreases light - Play with exposure compensation: your camera's metering can be fooled by the bright light of the sky, resulting in dark or pale images. To avoid this, you can use exposure compensation to make the image brighter or darker. Positive exposure compensation makes the image brighter, negative exposure compensation makes it darker - Shoot in RAW format: RAW format stores more information than JPEG format and allows you to better post-process your image. For example, you can adjust the white balance to make the colors more natural or intense. Or you can increase the contrast to create more depth.
Dawn is a magical time that offers you many opportunities to express your creativity. Try different settings and perspectives and let the colors and moods inspire you. Have fun photographing!
Fotografieren in der Morgendämmerung
Die Morgendämmerung ist eine besondere Zeit für Fotografen, die stimmungsvolle Landschaftsaufnahmen machen wollen. Die Farben des Himmels sind sanft und harmonisch, das Licht ist weich und diffus, und die Natur erwacht langsam zum Leben. Doch wie kann man die Morgendämmerung optimal fotografieren? Hier sind einige Tipps, die Ihnen helfen können.
- Planen Sie im Voraus: Suchen Sie sich einen geeigneten Standort aus, von dem aus Sie einen guten Blick auf den Horizont haben. Informieren Sie sich über die genaue Uhrzeit des Sonnenaufgangs und seien Sie mindestens eine halbe Stunde vorher vor Ort, um sich einzurichten und die besten Lichtverhältnisse zu nutzen.
- Nutzen Sie ein Stativ: Da das Licht in der Morgendämmerung noch schwach ist, brauchen Sie eine längere Belichtungszeit, um genug Details einzufangen. Um Verwacklungen zu vermeiden, sollten Sie daher ein Stativ verwenden. Außerdem können Sie so besser den Bildausschnitt festlegen und verschiedene Einstellungen ausprobieren.
- Experimentieren Sie mit der Blende: Die Blende beeinflusst die Schärfentiefe und die Lichtstärke Ihres Bildes. Je nachdem, ob Sie einen scharfen Vordergrund oder einen verschwommenen Hintergrund wollen, können Sie eine offene oder eine geschlossene Blende wählen. Eine offene Blende lässt mehr Licht durch, aber reduziert die Schärfentiefe. Eine geschlossene Blende erhöht die Schärfentiefe, aber verringert die Lichtstärke.
- Spielen Sie mit der Belichtungskorrektur: Die Belichtungsmessung Ihrer Kamera kann durch das helle Licht des Himmels getäuscht werden und zu dunklen oder blassen Bildern führen. Um dies zu vermeiden, können Sie die Belichtungskorrektur verwenden, um das Bild heller oder dunkler zu machen. Eine positive Belichtungskorrektur macht das Bild heller, eine negative Belichtungskorrektur macht es dunkler.
- Fotografieren Sie im RAW-Format: Das RAW-Format speichert mehr Informationen als das JPEG-Format und ermöglicht Ihnen eine bessere Nachbearbeitung Ihres Bildes. Sie können zum Beispiel den Weißabgleich anpassen, um die Farben natürlicher oder intensiver zu machen. Oder Sie können den Kontrast erhöhen, um mehr Tiefe zu erzeugen.
Die Morgendämmerung ist eine magische Zeit, die Ihnen viele Möglichkeiten bietet, Ihre Kreativität auszudrücken. Probieren Sie verschiedene Einstellungen und Perspektiven aus und lassen Sie sich von den Farben und Stimmungen inspirieren. Viel Spaß beim Fotografieren!
When dawn breaks in my part of the Welsh countryside the lanes are free of traffic, the sun begins to rise lighting up the sky and bird song fills the air. The cries of a Red Kite hovering above a field hoping a mouse will make a mad dash for the safety of a hedgerow. The rustling of grass blowing gently in the breeze, the crispness of the Autumn air, oh what a time to be alive and take in the wonders that surround us!

I'd put the memory card from this outing in what I thought was a "safe place" and of course forgot all about it, rediscovering it recently! The morning was my first trip back to the New Forest after lockdown 1 in the UK. It felt like a new dawn and a new beginning.....little did we know!
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES

On a beautiful morning on 21-1-20
Taken in Lorne Victoria @ 06.07 (yes that's right), 45 mins before sunrise on 6th April.
ISO 200, 183 SECS, f8 @12mm.
Single exposure processed twice in raw and blended as layers.
There is something quite magical about being alone on a deserted beach pre-dawn. Whilst the actual sunrise was hidden behind thick cloud, the beauty of the Atlantic sweeping across a pristine beach is still compelling.
The granite coastline here at Porthcurno on Englands SW Tip is also a fabulous spot for landscape images. The rock structure and the headland of Treryn Dinas make wonderful subjects for photography.
... as the year draws to a close, driving as dawn breaks.
It is a landmark tree that I shoot when I can catch it - just as the road bends. It leans with the prevailing wind ... and the crows rise to greet the sun!

Dawn from Colonnade Arch, also known as Five Hole Arch, looking down into Labyrinth Canyon and the Green River, and over Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park to the La Sal Mountains.
Moab nestles behind a ridge that is north of the La Sal but south of the point where the sun will rise in a few minutes.
This is Labyrinth Canyon Wilderness, established earlier this year--54,000 acres for rafting, hiking, photography and it is also a fine place to just be.
