A large storm front making its way through the mouth of the Columbia River collides with the sunrise, making for some remarkable light as you look on towards Cape Disappointment lighthouse. Happy hump day! I guess I'll make this my last post until after the black out period. ;)
Single exposure, I believe I had a cpol on.
So much promise and so much dissapointment. Should have realised 4S50 is poorly loaded on a Monday but the forecast was too much of a draw. 90004 leads 90045 through Low Borrowbridge with the 06.03 departure from Crewe to Coatbridge conveying environmentally friendly, glider fuel. 11/7/2022
D1015 Western Champion approaches Wickwar leading 6M42 0920 Avonmouth to Penyffordd Cement empties, with 66719 tucked inside, on 17th September 2021
This was my first sunny shot of 6M42 at this location this year despite many attempts, and this more than made up for all of the previous dissapointments!!
D1015 had worked light engine from Kidderminster to work 6M42 as far as Gloucester as a loaded test run.
This had been held at a red signal at Westerleigh Juction, for no apparent reason, and had a Voyager up it's backside as a result. I guessed that it would loop at Charfield to let the Voyager passed, so I headed to Gossington for a second shot!.... flic.kr/p/2mrGESq
Update: Unfortunately D1015 'Western Champion' did not pass its mainline test run on 17th September, apparently due to a seized engine.
Lifer No. 3. I am pretty stoked about this one. I spent quite a while sitting on the edge of the road leaning against my car for stability with the camera on a monopod. To my dissapointment the very large majority of shots were soft because of heat distortion, which is a real pity as many had nicer looking surroundings, along with better poses. This shot was the best of the lot where light was not too harsh and detail truned out pretty good considering the distance.
Having said all of that I am so grateful for the encounter. My Peterson guide book (2008) shows it's range to just barely dip into a small portion of the very most southern part of my province. Maybe it is time for a new guidebook, as I did see one sitting on a nest, so they were not just passing through.
Because of the Brown on it's back I assume that this to be a female.
2 kingfisher shots from this morning to go with the little video of it preening. Great to see after the 3 hours of dissapointment last week
Westbound goat boats by the Camp Disappointment monument on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. The monument marks the spot of the northernmost campsite of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, on its return trip from the Pacific Northwest. Not a bad view but a little elevation here would be choice.

For the Harry Potter fans amongst you, this is this is Eilean na Moine at the west end of Loch Eilt which appears in the films as Dumbledore's last resting place.
We could have used some wizardly intervention with the weather which was a big dissapointment after a very early start to reach this spot for sunrise.
Russell (McRusty) and I met up with Carol (MrsR66) and Steve (Stoates-Findhorn) before sunrise at this location which faces due east along the loch in anticipation of a colourful dawn; alas it wasn't to be.
The lack of colour seems to lend itself to a monochrome conversion.
At 5020mrt: the crazy colour pallet of the "Rainbow Mountains" or Corderilla de los Arcoiris, wich is visited (reachable) by the public for only a couple of years. Before, only experienced climbers passed this place to reach the difficult peak of Ausangate. For this reason, the culture and nature remains untouched and authentic here, at least untill now...
I Shot this just before sundown: clouded and too little time to make to the next (purple) valley wich was a bit of a dissapointment for me. And as darkness came in quick, we had to go down soon after waiting 3,5 hours at the base for the rain and the hail to stop to even get on top at all in the first place. But well worth to see this remarkable place totally alone and to even get an opportunity to photograph it at all. Despite the weather conditions, this is what I made of it..
NB: Not a trip I would recommend for easy hikers (like me) and non-fit people. Total time from Cusco: 14 hours go and back.
Near Ausengate, Peru.

And yep... those hills are really very purple.. :-)
Captain America:Civil War.. Perphaps one of the most anticipated CBM of all time for everyone... after my dissapointment with AoU,and some trailers that made the hole conflict like a superhero street fight to me i was kinda worried going into this film... but knowing that the Russo's were directing i always had faith... so is it good ? is it bad ? let's find out !
So right when the movie starts we begin with action and speaking of which... some of the best action on a CBM...
The performances were very solid and i'm very happy that everyone got an even amount of screen time and were introduced very nicely.
Speaking of if you thought that they started fighting because of Bucky or some other reason... let me tell you the movie builds the tension more and more and more !! Until it explodes in a incredible super hero showdown.
Now Spider-Man and Black Panter were highlights of the movie... both are the perfect on-screen versions i always wanted to see !!
Now looks like i'm fanboying so don't worry because we are going into the negatives...
First some of the CGI was.... idk look unfinished and maybe cheap especially when RDJr took the mask off
And the villan... while it served it's propuse it was week and took me out of the movie for a bit altho on the 3rd act he was kinda interesting...
Overall Captain America: Civil War is a Fantastic CBM and maybe Marvel's best movie to date (not over-hyping it) so for me it gets a solid 9/10
Hope you like this review and tell me if you want more of this in the future
Have a Bricktacular day !

There's something mysterious about a disembodied wave.
There's nothing in the frame to give you a sense of scale except for those bodacious birds.
What's outside of the frame is entirely up to your imagination and that's something that I love about photography - the art of exclusion.
Often, it's what we leave out of the frame that ignites our imagination and allows our own fantasy to fill in the gaps.
On this morning, we'd been shooting at Cape Disappointment for a few hours and up until the sun showed we were all quite happy with our shots.
As soon as a gap appeared in the clouds, we realized that everything we'd shot up to that point was complete trash.
In an instant, the sun illuminated the waves and it was like a giant hand had switched on the 'brilliance' button. The sound of melting camera shutters was louder than the roaring of the waves.
A wall of exhausted photographers immediately got their second wind, forgot about their grumbling bellies and started bartering hard for memory cards.
We were all riding the high of that heavenly light like a surfer rides a wave. Living in the moment with our hearts beating out of our chests while wearing Cheshire cat grins.
Whenever I need cheering up, I just dig out my hard drive and rifle through the four thousand images I shot on that day,
Ah fun times.
Thanks for looking

Cape Disappointment lighthouse burning brightly after the sunset. The thundering and sometimes crashing 18' swell was incredible. I will come back to this folder in Lightroom and look again, but this one really grabbed my eye. I'll have to review my processing flow and see what is causing my EXIF data to disappear. Started when I duped a layer to put my watermark on.

Yet another illusive sunrise this morning so here are some rain drops and brake lights from inside my car.
As told in this post: flic.kr/p/2mNzZVK it was quite a nice hour spent atop the Boston and Albany on Washington Hill. After the excitement of seeing the black bear I set up for a shot of eastbound Selkirk to West Springfield manifest train Q424 that I knew was following on I024's block. The wide open marshland south of Muddy Pond kept a nice stretch of the main bathed in golden light even this late in the day. So I set up atop the bed of my truck for what was looking to be a nice evening shot here at about MP 137.6 on CSXT's modern day Berkshire Sub mainline.
The headlights of CSXT 802 (GE ES44AC-H blt. Jan. 2008) cut through the shadows of the forest but the train could not outrace the small cloud that cast a shadow of dissapointment on my scene at just the last moment as you can plainly see in these two images.
But at least this was nothing special so I just may try again tomorrow I suppose....

I went for a drive yesterday with the intention of photographing a beautiful old stone barn in Lycoming County. Much to my dissapointment, I discovered the barn had undergone a modernized transformation of sorts, perhaps to be used as a banquet or reception hall. I was very disappointed to say the least. On the drive home, I decided to take a detour in hopes of finding a new photo op when this old stone farm house and windmill caught my eye. It is located just north of the small community of Pennsdale, PA.
Sunrise with Little Tahoma at right. Taken from the Disapointment Cleaver. I believe it is the South end of the Emmons Glacier to the left of Little Tahoma.
India tiger safari trip.
Kanha was a bit of a dissapointment as there was heavy flooding, especially in the core zone, so noone was allowed in.
Normally we were supposed to have 3 game drives in the core zone. We did only one in the bufferzone, but the animals were very scarce. In the afternoon it was raining so heavily that we couldn't even go out and our second game drive was cancelled.
So the second day we cancelled our third game drive and visited a local village instead.
We would not have been allowed in the core zone anyway, and we feared the bufferzone would be just the same as the day before.
i was taking a selfportrait for Shutter Divas group and see what happened. she came with a baloon and got my camera. this is the best picture from my Sp series today, pity i can not submit it to the contest ;)
P.S. this cute camera does not work. or, work in a very strage way. my first film roll was a dissapointment, it was kind of empty with one black frame. the roll also was used up in a very quick way, kind of skiped....i don't know if it is something wrong wiht the film, the camera, or maybe i completely messed up with settings. anyone who has an idea what can be wrong, please tell me. i am not giving up, not on film and not on film cameras. the only reason i do not rush to buy any more is that i expect to get a few from my family and it is going to happen pretty soon.
P.S.2. i will not be much around here for the next week, will be visiting my family and in-laws during Easter vacations; am not sure about how much computer time i will get there. see you later and wishing you a nice Easter.
Headed to the North Norfolk Coast yesterday on my day off. Despite a 17 degree change in temperature and strong winds I was determined to try and see the White Tailed Sea Eagle - until I found out it had moved inland to thwart me. Packing up my stuff I trudged back down the beack with my face stinging from the flying sand and dissapointment.
It was so cold! - but at least I had half an hour watching these Marsh Harriers at distance over the marsh. I think they may both be first year birds - they were play fighting - rather than displaying any apparent courtship behaviour.
I wake, enthusiastic, for my dissapointment.
Rise, to greet this new day, with contempt.
It rains. Grey. Against the yellow
roomlight, that casts it's dull shadows,
from ashtray and coffee cup. Stop.
Roll another cigarette. Watch the rain,
feel the grey. Put pen to paper,
in a hopeless attempt, to capture this
inner and outer despair.
This dirty yellow light is all there is,
between me and that awful, beckoning, grey.
Fight back. Pick up my camera. Write.
"grey". On the window, in the condensation,
with my finger. Get this where I can
deal with it. See it. Touch it. This grey.
The shutter, opens, closes. I have it.
It cant hurt me now.
As I visited in april 2017 Tate Modern in London, I was excited of the fog machine from Fujiko Nakaja. She is specialised in works of art in which Thousands of very little water drops produce fog that comes and vanish. All the visitors love and interact with it. I made some delicious photos of it. In june of that same 2017 I returned to London just with the aim to visit Tate Modern again for the fog machine and to make photos with some models in the beautiful museum. What a dissapointment: the fog machine was away and the guards of the museum threw me and my model out of the museum because my photomania disturbed the rest of the visitors of this Art Temple .
Displaying Colas vinyls, ex-EMR HST 43050 approaches Bath leading 1Z23 0611 Bristol High Level Siding to Tyseley L.M.D. test train on 5th November 2020.
Following the previous day's dissapointment when this passed South Marston in full sun, as I was walking accross the field after it missed its booked stop at Challow, I was determined to get a shot of it's return working.
The forescast was for widespread fog in the south west, clearing mid-morning, and I figured that the fog would probably lift sooner in the city than the countryside. I needed a reason to leave the house on the first day of lockdown, so I drove to the supermarket and then cycled in freezing fog. My first choice location was Newton St Loe, but this was under a thick blanket of fog 30mins before this was due, so I cycled into the centre of Bath just as the sun broke through and the fog evaportated. In the distance can be seen the fog over Twerton, and in the going away shot fog can be clearly seen to the east of the city... flic.kr/p/2k3WB1N
I was pleased to get this in the sun and the result went some way to make up for the previous day's mistake stopping at the petrol station en-route to South Marston thinking I had plenty of time - aargh!!!
ex-EMR power cars 43050 + 43060 were on short term lease from Porterbrook to assess their suitablility in place of 67s and 37s for Network Rail's infrastructure monitoring.

OMG - the books are amazing!
Pity about the film
i've been a twilight fan for ages! the film was quite a dissapointment to me, please don't be offended. They totally ruined the scene on the meadow! that was my favourite part! but yea, i'll probably buy the film on DVD when it comes out, i'm a bit of a movie addict! :D
Okay, i'm going to replace the photo without the quote now :) sorry if your guys disagree, its just that, the quotes been bugging me for some time on the picture, i'd rather leave the picture to speak for itself..
It seems nearly everyone has a story to his/her shot of the Podere Belvedere near San Quirico d´Orcia. Not a really funny one like Paul told us a few weeks ago :)
First we checked the spot in the evening before and I was really upset from the "classical spot". It is in the midst of a private grove of olive trees. And there is a dog barking all the time. That´s why we have to change the planes with our own ones - had to leave them in the car (with fresh air & shadow) a few steps away from our position. Happily there was only one other photographer (an italian one) with us there and he had a lot to laugh. Because...as I wanted to mount my filters my Sony A7II made a flight off the tripod. From about 1 meter onto the dusty ground of the olive grove....luckily both are working fine. But I had a lot to clean before I could take some pictures again. The next thing I where upset, I had my hand for framing left home. Not one single shot from this morning satisfied me, so I know I have to come back. The next dissapointment: What a comon sunrise...no fog...nothing really special. But if we see it from my lack of framing on this day, it was definitely ok. I deserved nothing better.
I would like to thank my wife and my kids for making this stopover for one night on our way into the more southern tuscany.

Thank you all so much for your comments & faves.
So every year me and my buddies used to have a race to see who can star trail Snugburys hay sculpture first. It's sort of fizzled out but I'm trying to keep it going. Last years sculpture was a bit of a dissapointment and I didn't even bother to visit, but this year has brought it back with this 38ft tall Peter Rabbit made of hay, the carrot is 10ft tall and the whole thing weighs 8 tonns and took over 1000 hours to build. Very impressive, I knew from the second I saw it it would make an awesome trail.
So last night me, my wife and son went out and got this awesome trail. We had been in the day time for a nice ice cream and to see it in person and weigh up a few angles.
Trailed for about 40 minutes, was going to go for an hour but it was getting a little too cold out in the open.
Make sure to visit Snugburys icecream farm to see the Peter Rabbit in person as the photos don't really do it justice, also they have Carrot Cake ice cream, which they had unfortinetly ran out of by the time we arrived.
Enjoy!

2 kingfisher shots from this morning to go with the little video of it preening. Great to see after the 3 hours of dissapointment last week
first time to this stunning location, weve had some stunning weather here in the peak district, making up for the dissapointment of glencoe,

I'm afraid I am falling slightly behind on commenting your photos these days as I find every day to be a cuople of hours to short. It's a bit of a dissapointment as I'm having a hard time trying to fit everything I want to do into an already busy schedule... I might limit my uploads to maybe 2-3 pr week instead of posting every day. That way, hopefully, I will get more time to comment =)
As always, I hope you are all having a brilliant day and that you take care of each other!
Use orijinal size to see a beautiful view... You will not be dissapointment..(no crop on this fhoto)
Power and beauty combine in to a wave as it is just breaking off the shore along Washingtons coastline.

I went here with my daughter to show her the fantastic glow off the side walls that I saw in August when I was last here. To see the sun appear and have the sunshine glow off the side walls in a blinding and brilliant yellow glow was awe inspiring. So we sat there waiting for a sun to appear that never would. Because it was 7 weeks later, the sun was lower in the sky and was hiding behind the trees. So as we were leaving in dissapointment we passed by the viewpoint and lo and behold there was the sun. So I quickly assembled my tripod and camera and took this shot before the it disappeared once again. What a difference a change of perspective and a few weeks makes when trying to get a sunburst in your shot.
Friend of mine's new 'fixer upper' ;)
I'm no car historian but from what I've read the 1938 wasn't one of plymouth's shining moments. It was regarded as a dissapointment back then (too similar to the '37 while being more expensive… and then there was the depression). Of course now I think it oozes character amidst the cars of today.
Heat haze looking along the pebble beach at Cley, towards the Beach Road car park.
Not sure how it works but you end up with a reflection of the sky at ground level. Luckily I had enough water with me so wasn't forced to crawl towards this water source on hands and knees - only to face utter dissapointment.
North Norfolk.
Good evening my dear vulnerable self,
What hurt brings you here tonight?
Well nevermind, give yourself a chance to heal, despite insults and rejections, despite betrayals and regrets. Yes, let me heal you...
You think that sadness is too great? But sadness is not something frozen you know, it can melt, just like snow that cries when summer shows up, or like the sky that takes off its cloudy glasses so the sun can smile again...
You have to immunize your heart from hurts.
Don't let yourself standing here shivering, please, wet your neck with your pain, and dive in...
Then, you'll never shake again; because tears will be simple dusts, and the misery of your failed love wil be a simple memory to tell to the next one...
The next love? Well I know you don't believe in it, but there will be one, maybe two : the one you'll feel for yourself, and the one you'll feel for someone else...
You think you're too suspicious? It can be a good thing, make your mistrust be some cement to be pierced with the proofs of sincerity, but, remember to take care of the garden that's hiding under it.
Please, don't dry up your soul in the desert of dissapointments. Make it grow by watering it with complex bittersweet flavours.
My dear self, never let this little world of yours, camouflaged under your silences, vanish under the shadows of others' mistakes.
The butterflies in your belly are not dead, they're just resting a bit, breathless from distress.
So close your eyes, for a moment, and by fluttering your eyelashes, watch the light wake up again, that soothing burst of tears, screaming the most beautiful truth: it's not your fault.
PKP CARGO ST44-1213 & SU46-054 making plenty of noise with the 16:00 departure (act dep 15:48) from Gostyń to Gdynia Port loaded containers. The containers are loaded with sugar for export from the "Diamant" sugar factory that can be seen in the background. Note its enormous silo which is the biggest of its kind in Europe. The train will continue on to Leszno where the containers will be handed over to an electric locomotive.
This branch line (linia/line 360: Kąkolewo-Jarocin) was opened in 1888 linking the larger towns of Jarocin and Leszno. The line had both passenger and freight services, although passenger services were suspended in December 2011 over the entire line. Shortly after Koleje Wielkopolskie (the regional operator) ran a service between Gostyń and Leszno, but this was "permanently suspended" on March 2nd 2012 much to the dissapointment of the locals who used the service to commute to and from Leszno to work and were only told one day prior that the service would no longer operate. Its a bit of a mystery why the service ceased as its well known that the trains were always full. Koleje Wielkopolskie states that the services were suspended becuase of "insufficient funds", although many find this hard to believe.
Its not very apparent from the photo but Gostyń as a station was fairly grand back in its heyday with another line joining/splitting off here (linia/line 366) in the south and north. The southward portion ran to Krobia joining the Leszno to Ostrów Wielkopolskie line via Krotoszyn, and the northern portion ran to Kościan which is situated on the mainline between Leszno and Poznań.
Less about the history! Anyway, freight just about clung on and now thanks to the sugar factory and its large expansion, freight traffic has increased and is still set to do so as its freight output has roughly tripled to what it was 2 years ago. This includes coal, containers and tankers all to the factory. Due to this increase and other increases in traffic in the region PKP Cargo has drafted up 2 SU46s (041 and 054) and allocated them to Poznań at the start of 2016. Not to mention the reactivation/repair of a very small number of the almost extinct ST43 class in the area.
Both SU46-041 and SU46-054 still carry the classic PKP green livery. Each machine alternates where they work out of on a semi regular basis. With one working out of Leszno, covering lines in this area and around Poznań and the other at Czerwieńsk working trains to the German border at Guben.
