..."Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream"...
So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)
- R.E.M.
A drive-by shot of a severe thunderstorm from the side window of my car. The motion blur with these photos adds a sense of immediacy and urgency, even where none exists (and greatly amplifies it when it does exist). What saves these shots is that the blur is confined mostly in the foreground while distant objects retain sharpness. What I love most is the randomness of the composition. It's liberating to give up control of framing and let it fall to sheer happenstance. I usually wind up with photos that I would never have taken under normal circumstances. Photos that are perfect in their imperfection. Of course the storm was the center of my attention. Here it takes on a Wizard of Oz appearance, in particular when the storm is seen on the horizon at Dorothy's farm. At that point, other than wind, the effects are still not being felt. This is my favorite part of any storm, being able to stand off a bit to observe it, close enough to feel and hear it, but just on the edge of the heavy rain. Here you can see the torrential downpour in progress off to the left. The bright sky forms a dramatic boundary line that further defines the menacing clouds.
Engineer Pass is a beautiful drive. The first 7 miles on the Ouray side is really rough. This is where he gets easy. This is highway driving in the mountains. This is unusual for the road to be this wide, but it's a nice relaxing drive.
An easier way to get to the to the top of Engineer Pass is to go to Animas forks and take the North Cutoff road that bypasses the rougher sections of Engineer.
Lungo la strada che sale al Nevegal, le prime montagne si svelano, vestite con l’eleganza dell’autunno.
Un quadro dorato di boschi e scorci con lunghe ombre dorate che raccontano la bellezza di un momento, poco prima del tramonto.
Buona giornata

My first Driving Experience was at the Severn Valley Railway on Great Western Railway 2-6-0 7325 pulling a brake van between Bewdley & Arley. Here it is on "shed" at Bewdley catching the rays at the end of the day. I have only just noticed what looks like a clinker shovel sticking out from the side of the cab. Obviously the fireman was dropping the fire - no labour-saving rocking grates on GWR locos!
The 3 other participants on the Datex all went off to various places after the course. I stayed and emptied the smokebox which was not really part of the experience. I enjoyed this getting up close to the engine just as much as the driving & it made me want to volunteer on the railway. I was working abroad at the time and only when I returned 9 years later did I get my chance at the Great Central at Loughborough. Haven't looked back since.

All I want
Is a love that's hot
Can't be sold and can't be bought
Love don't try to be something it's not
All I need
Is a love that's real
None won't rob and none won't steal
Love that move's like a driving wheel
All I want
Is a driving wheel
All I want
Is a driving wheel
All round love
My ideal
All I want
Is a love that's right
Hold onto with all my might
Early in the morning and late at night
Driving home from work, the clouds on the coast dispersed as the night settled in- a wonderful opportunity to shoot at night. A waxing gibbous moon to my back gently lit this popular lighthouse as I exposed to capture the moving light beam. The grounds are pretty tight, so shooting this close at 20mm proved to be difficult while trying to prevent image distortion. Even so, I am really pleased with the results.

The Icefields Parkway is a 230 km / 140 mi long amazing scenic road, travelling through Banff National Park and Jasper National Park, from Lake Louise to Jasper.
This is probably one of the most beautiful road in the world. Snowy summits, glaciers, pine forests, rivers, falls, turquoise lakes, wildlife....
Each kilometer is an amazing moment. Definitely a must do in your life.
The best light is in the early morning, or the late afternoon, which are both the quietest moments to enjoy the place with a few traffic, and spot wildlife (bear, elk, moose, ...)

You may now resume your normal, moronic style of driving. Especially you tourists.
San Francisco. South end of the Golden Gate Bridge.
on the N9 towards Graaff-Reinett. We left Aberdeen behind already in the Eastern Cape, still 1 hour to reach the Camdeebo National Park as we got stuck in Graaff-Reinett at the petrol station because of load shedding the ATM's did not work and we did not have enough cash to refill all our petrol tanks we thought we might need...
A typical french rural road with its tree lined verge. This was taken in the "sauterne" wine growing region near Bordeaux as we tried to find a way back north to avoid the motorway blockades by lorry drivers and protesters. It took us 14 hours to drive from Zaragoza to Tours. The only saving grace was we saw some lovely scenery and didn't have to pay the tolls as they had been taken over by the yellow jacketed tax protesters!
Tucking in to a well earned hot chocolate after some hard driving down the range. (Can you tuck into a drink?)
Nel parco di Timanfaya, a Lanzarote, l'ombra è sempre in contrasto con il sole, il color cenere con l'azzurro dell'oceano, il rosso della lava ferrosa contrasta il blu del cielo.
Un mondo completamente diverso da quello che siamo abituati a vedere..
Buona giornata
