Sorry I lost the SURL. :(
As the sky clears up on a frigid fall day, it shows some snow banks piling up on top of the tracks, I decided to head out for the first time in awhile, 2 miles down track in Porquis Junction they had some issues with late brake releases and issues on a radio controlled switch delayed that them about an hour which gave time for the sun the come out more.

A Union Pacific manifest glides down the east side of the Knapp Hill on a picture perfect fall morning.
About 2 weeks ago (before the inch of snow) i walked to the mailbox in the sleet and found 2 lingering clematis (ran back and got my camera). I don't know why the last hurrah, since they have not bloomed in about a month or two, but for some reason, and with only some green leaves remaining on the plant, two final flowers boomed amid falling leaves and sleet. Such a hopeful and happy sight for some reason.
Our rural ancestors, with little blest,
Patient of labour when the end was rest,
Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,
With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.

On this particular day, we visited one of Iceland's popular waterfalls and it was super-crowded. We quickly moved on, hiking up above the waterfall to a high plateau with 360 degree views of mountains, glacial plains and the ocean in the distance - and no other people in sight. The sky was grey overcast so wide angle landscape photography was not in the cards but these pretty little plants called out to me. To anyone visiting the Skaftafell National Park area in Iceland, consider taking some time out to hike some of the park's less visited trails. There is some spectacular scenery just beyond the park's iconic spots.

The last vestiges of rain have fallen,
The final drop has hit the ground.
The suns glorious rays purify the destruction
But they also illuminate it, bringing it into sharp relief.
The surrounding death looks like a plague,
Making the fallen leaves seem like sloughed off skin,
Making the yellow grass appear as though aflame
It's all an illusion, a shared hallucinatory event whereby we are all tricked into thinking the end is nigh.
But it is not the end my friends,
Only the start of a new beginning,
Only the beginning of a new start.
See you in the spring
This is the most interesting photo with the TAG: Trial. I even beat out a wicked picture of Sadam in the Courtroom. Let that be a lesson to all the other Dictators around the world :P
A shot from the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi valley. The explosion of color along the river was dizzying!

My camera bag strap broke while I was picking it up and it fell back down -- not a bad fall. So I was surprised, and obviously horrified, when I opened it to find that my Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 had busted. The portion with the lens mount separated from the main body just before the zoom ring started. You can see the portion that snapped. I rushed home and found that a Nikon repair center was only about 5 miles away. So I drove over and showed it to the rather sympathetic gentleman. He said that these new lens are great but not built as solid. He then pulled out a tray with another customer’s lens that looked exactly the same as mine.
As to repair time and cost: 4-5 weeks and around $450. Why so long? The spare parts are few and far between right now due to it being a new lens type. Why so expensive when it was just that little connection that snapped? Well, the broken part is essentially the backbone for the whole lens. Therefore the entire lens will need to be taken appart and reassembled. Super.
Obviously I am going to get a new bag and obviously I am going to be more careful. The 24-70 was attached to my D700 at the time so there was probably some torquing that occurred. Also, just to note, I had an 80-200 f/2.8 AFD in same bag. No problems with it.
UPDATE: Fixed! Just picked it up today (11/8/08). Seems to be working quite nicely. Thanks Nikon Repair Guy! Feels like new and acts like new. Quite a nice job.
UPDATE: about 8 years later (3/2017) I have finally replaced this lens. I got the new VR model and excited to see how it performs. My old trusty 24-70mm is really beaten to hell at this point. Threading for the filters cracked off, the rubber grip is out of place, the hood long ago broke (while on a 2.5km sledding run in Switzerland). Obviously I loved that lens!
This is my first test of underwater photography! It was very hard, I used a Dicapac (litteraly a bag in which you put your camera) and it's really not the best way for an underwater shoot! But I'm very happy for this first try :) Thanks Marjorie, one of my best friend for her patience and her posing skills in the water ;) And thanks Mélissa for letting me use her swimming pool! (what would I be without my friends?!)

Angels Fall
Breaking Benjamin
I try to face the fight within
But it's over
I'm ready for the riot to begin
And surrender
I walked the path that led me to the end
Remember
I'm caught beneath with nothing left to give
Forever
When angels fall with broken wings
I can't give up, I can't give in
When all is lost and daylight ends
I'll carry you and we will live forever, forever
Grey skies will chase the light away
No longer
I fought the fight now only dark remains
Forever
Divided I will stand
And I will let this end
When angels fall with broken wings
I can't give up, I can't give in
When all is lost and daylight ends
I'll carry you and we will live forever, forever
The sun begins to rise
And wash away the sky
The turning of the tide
Don't leave it all behind
And I will never say goodbye
When angels fall with broken wings
I can't give up, I can't give in
When all is lost and daylight ends
I'll carry you and we will live forever, forever
Forever, forever
Headed off down to Wollongong Harbour this morning on my lonesome. A big swell was forecast, so I thought I'd go for some drama and mood.
There was not one other person at the breakwall, the whole time that I was shooting, and I really wanted to get a person in the image, just to give it that human element.
So, with no one around, it was left up to myself to do the ultimate selfie. With the camera on a 10 sec timer, I sprinted out in front, and did my best moody human pose.
Its gonna take me at least three days to get over that mad sprint...Knackered ol Mikey it did!!!
Anyhow, home now, and the masseur is on the way!!
Hope you like "Angels Fall"
Cheers, Mike
