The Longs Peak massif with a shroud of rain descending. The peaks include (l to r) Chiefs Head Peak, Pagoda Peak, a few spires of Keyboard of the Winds, Longs Peak (14,259 ft, 4346 m), and Mount Meeker. A magnet for hikers, the peaks have seen more fatalities in recent years- three people died in the fall on the peak, with 2 bodies still missing.
This was my first attempt at 1 arm photography due to recent rotator cuff surgery, preventing me from raising my right arm or bearing any weight. Tripod and shutter release worked wonders.
Led by Southern Pacific GE AC4400CW No. 340, an eastbound Union Pacific coal train descends the two percent grade between Clay and Rocky, Colorado on April 13, 2002. The head en is approaching the west switch of Rocky siding, and the two DPUs on the rear of the train are above and just crossed over the east switch of Clay siding, while a lone mid-train DPU is circling Big 10 Curve out of sight to the left.
Coming down from the 7500 ft summit at Glorieta, the eastbound Southwest Chief races down the east side of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at Rowe in northern New Mexico.

Out at Bird Island there is a good sized colony of egrets along with everything else. The egrets are busy building nests and coming and going. You see these egrets at waterways all over the area. This is one of the spots they nest and spend their evenings.
I caught this one coming home for the night and dropping down into the cattails. As it dropped it was calling to its mate.
heavenly bird
coming back from who knows where
for a night's rest

A doubled up BNSF grain train in a 3-2-1 configuration heads back east, dropping down grade over Evaro Mountain on the MRL 10th Sub as one of many cells pound the mountain behind with rain.

The FWWR Cresson Turn picks up speed after having just crossed through then downtown TCU area in Fort Worth heading downgrade on the Ex-Santa Fe Dublin Sub with 6 engines hauling over 100 cars (7/8/23).
It's considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world, and you'll understand why if you spend a few days here. Local legend suggests that the bay was formed when a dragon arrived to thwart Chinese invaders, spitting out jade stones and pearls that eventually became the islands. The name "Ha Long" translates to "descending dragon," which is how it got its name. The area has been shaped by mountains forming over tens of millions of years, by rising and falling sea levels, and by moving tectonic plates, which is quite incredible when you think about it.
The seascape consists of about 2000 limestone karsts of all sizes, shapes, and shades of green, rising dramatically from the ocean. It's a unique site on Earth, and regardless of the weather, a cruise on Halong Bay is always a fantastic experience.

CP SD60 6257 leads an SD30ECO, another SD60, and a trio of CEFX AC44s downgrade with train 288 on Brookfield Hill at Elm Grove, Wisconsin.
As the sun started to set and the temperature began to drop, tendrils of fog would descend from the sky, only to rise and dissipate as they reached the lower elevations. It was quite a show. This is the view from Devil's Courthouse looking West to Mt. Hardy in Macon County, North Carolina

Clougha Pike is a small fell just to the east of Lancaster (NW England), actually I think its the highest point in Lancashire. There were stunning views all around last night. I shot this walking down from the summit on a farm road. You can see lots of the places I often visit and post shots from, so maybe helps to put things in context -- In the distance on the left you can see the nuclear reactors at Heysham, the city of Lancaster just inland to their right, Morecambe Bay glinting in the evening light, the lakeland fells (barely visible) in the far distance; and my house is on the near coast in the far right of the frame :-) I love it here :-)
CSX AC44CW no.s 465 and 487 are seen alone descending down the Hell Gate Bridge approach, crossing the Astoria Line at Astoria-Ditmars Blvd station. The two locomotives, both sporting the outdated YN2 "Bright Future" paint scheme, were heading to pick up a cut of cars from the New York & Atlantic at Fresh Pond Yard, and returned the other way around an hour and a half later.
