Had fun with Leo today.. He was sooo fast.. :) he had a blast too! Sooc just cropped and contrast adjustment.
The comet was drifting fast toward southwest in Ophiuchus at the night, 3 days after the closest encounter with us. Dust coma was small and round. Dust tail looked fan-shaped, long toward north northeast and short toward east. Contour of the dust tail looked vague toward east. Bluish green ion halo was round and beautiful. North is up, and east is to the left.

...Mother Nature gave us a storm this weekend, and a spectacular sunset and twilight.
Plus pretty cold weather.
Still wearing surfshorts though, because I´m stubborn.
There were several Latham's Snipe in the area that kept migrating from one set of ponds to another. Unfortunately they were quite a long way away and traveling quickly.

Pancake tortoises are native to the area of Tanzania and Kenya. The species is thought to be the fastest tortoise in the world. They can quickly evade predators by scampering under rocks, and even climbing nearly vertical services. Unlike many other tortoises, if they find themselves on their backs, they can flip upright quickly.
Reading and Northern's North Reading Fast Freight, or NRFF, is coming through the companies headquarters in Port Clinton, Pennsylvania. Two SD50s sandwiching a SD40-2 power the train of 30 or so cars.
It was a beautiful and rare moment captured in nature for these fast moving sandpiper birds in flight while being reflected from the calm water below during the dusk light located at Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area in California. I was truly amazed by their rhythmic movements and their energetic expressions of a well coordinated choreographic dance. I've been coming to Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area for several years and I’ve never seen anything quiet like this moment.
Union Pacific ‘high speed’ SD40-2s No. 8073, 8063, 8041, and 8070 find themselves pulling a low priority, slow moving train through Grant Tower in Salt Lake City, Utah on Jan. 28, 1978. 100 UP SD40-2 units were geared to operate at 80 mph speeds on priority intermodal trains. They were typically sandwiched between two DDA40X units, also geared for 80 mph operation.
Big rookie mistake - not checking ISO settings until too late at which time the waves were getting bigger and more dangerous so I had to leave the spot. I managed to get 6 seconds with a 15 stop ND filter and I did like the shot so I put it up anyway, noise and all.

The flags at Burger King were pretty and the people who worked there probably thought I was crazy, but people probably think that a lot ( I have to lay on the ground to get a lot of my shots, nothing makes you look crazier than laying in the middle of the sidewalk).

Made specifically for a project I did about four years ago for the Hilton Union Square. I personally have never seen the final images hanging, but I sometimes wonder how they all came out. Over the 6-10 month process, I made several hundred images that I normally would have never made on my own. If I remember correctly, the color version made it's way into to several conference rooms.
Good on yuh this week!
