My first visit to Catherine Hill bay wharf (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Hill_Bay,_New_South_Wales) and I was lucky enough to be presented with a nice sky.
Nikon D800 & Nikkor 14-24mm. No filters. PP in PS CC using Nik Software and luminosity masks.
First time looking for storms and lightning in northern Bengkulu, Indonesia. with multiple photos and merged with other photos using Photoshop
Just kidding, it's just a sculpture. I didn't have a photo idea to day so Kevin and I ran out to Laumeier Sculpture Park to get a few pictures. We ended up having the whole place to ourselves because of the dreary weather. But I'm not complaining. It was actually a lot of fun. I definitely plan on coming back again.
Also, this is the first time Kevin is featured in this 365 project. Flickr, meet Kevin!
For the first time since September 5, 1958 when the last New Haven Railroad passenger trains left town the cities of New Bedford and Fall River are once served be regularly scheduled passenger service to and from South Station in Boston.
On March 24, 2025 the MBTA in partnership with their operator Keolis Commuter Service inaugurated 'South Coast Rail' the extension of the Middleboro Line an additional 22 and 25.5 miles to Fall River and New Bedford respectively.
Despite the gloom I had to document a few trains so headed down after work and decided to set up at Myricks for the first two scheduled revenue outbound trains from Boston. Myricks is where the two lines split with the line to New Bedford being the older of the two having opened in 1840 between the whaling city and Taunton. Five years later the line from Fall River opened and then a year after that the route north via Middleborough and Bridgewater to Braintree opened. After passenger service endeded in 1958 the lines survived in freight service operated by the direct corporate successors of the NH...first the Penn Central from 1969 to 1976 then Conrail until 1999 and CSXT until 2010 with the routes deteriorating to the point they were limited to 5 or 10 mph speeds and saw no more than two trains a week. In 2010 MassDOT purchased the 38 miles for $21 million and concurrent with that deal CSXT turned around and sold its perpetual freight easement to Mass Coastal which provided exclusive freight service on both lines, interchanging with CSXT at Cotley.
Here are a couple photos pre rebuild a bit over five years ago when Mass Coastal maintained these lines:
Back then a single track crossed Myricks Street with a hand throw turnout connecting the two routes. Today the trackage is under the control of the MBTA and is maintained and dispatched by Keolis and features a four track grade crossing with a signal bridge straddling the massive new interlocking. However, despite these changes Mass Coastal continues to provide freight service to both cities.
Breaking trail is Wabtec rebuilt F40PH-3C 1031 leading outbound train 2055 to New Bedford as it passes through Myricks interlocking at MP NM40.4 on Main 2 of the New Bedford Mainline. This train left the new East Taunton Station at 8:11 AM and is scheduled to arrive in New Bedford at 8:34 AM, the first of 15 trains, half of which are shuttles like this where passengers can make a five minute cross platform connection with a Fall River bound train from Boston (in this case train 1905 in the prior photo) and half are one seat ride through trains.

DAY 3 - MILKY WAY TRAVERSING OVER HOLE IN THE WALL
Milky Way traversing over Hole in the Wall
To be honest, I don’t remember how the next day came and went and how I found myself wandering around the trail at Hole in the Wall in the dark. All I remember is that I definitely scouted the lookout area to see if the actual hole in the wall was going to be composed well with the Milky Way.
When it got dark, I headed back and got settled in at the first spot that I scouted. And the Milky Way rose past the hole and soon over the wall.
I wished I had had my 70-200mm with me then but I didn’t. So, I decided to focus on the expansiveness of the heavenly body above the wall.
And soon my mind started wandering away…
When was the first time the Mojave People saw it?
Visiting Friends this evening and met their 8 week old Lab Pup Dozer. A little character, full of energy. My first time photographing a pup and quite challenging.
First time of seeing a Romanian locomotive and unexpected too. Here we see a Constantin Grup (part of the PKP Cargo family) locomotive 430109 working an intermodal train through Szar enroute towards Budapest and beyond on the 22/2/22.
The engine was built in the 1960s and use to be owned by CFR in Romania.
Unfortunately a naughty cloud partially blocked the sun as the train approached - naturally the unit behind was in full bling :-(
First time out with this setup. Got lots of attention and some willing volunteers for test portraits. Max focus distance is 1.5 metres which limits this to mainly portraits. Results soon.
A non-descript UP GE leads an eastbound freight out of the siding at La Coste, TX, passing the ex-SP water tank commemorating one of the most unexpected high school football championships in Texas history. This was my first attempt at night photography with coordinated flashes (four used for this scene), and I must say its a bit addicting. September 2020.
From Richmond Park.
First time with Aurora HDR processing, with some Lightroom adjustments; quite pleased with this. Thanks AP.
Hope he likes what I've picked out.
Something a little different for the short term, and a little photo story I've put together. Hope you like it (just a bit of fun) and stay tuned as it will get more interesting than just my tools of the trade. Next part most likely Saturday morning/lunch. 💋
This was my first time seeing a Bentley in this color and it looks great! What would be your color of choice on a Bentley?
Not a 15 plate maybe, but this S-reg double decker is Rhyl's newest bus and this week entered service for the first time since conversion to an open top in St Helens bodyshop. It is now 3988 in the ARRIVA Buses Wales fleet and joins sisters 3989-92 at Rhyl depot. Here it passes Rhyl Harbour on route 1 to Talacre Beach Club. It was previously numbered 4156 in the ARRIVA North West fleet and allocated to Winsford Garage, and before that was DLA86 with ARRIVA London. The last photo I uploaded of it shows it in its closed top days:
As luck would have it, there were no other spare vehicles to cover an afternoon duty on Saturday, so it had to go out in its anonymous - and rather confusing to the uninitiated - half-finished state. Here it hits the open road for the first time, although not to do battle in the way that Little Gems were used to doing, rather to do a couple of turns on the 79 service in Salford.

WOW! First time in explore, I don't even know how it works or why it got selected!
Thank you so much!

Repainted GTW SD40-2 5930 brings up the rear of the CN Santa Train in Joliet, IL. This is the first time this train has made a visit to Joliet.
Love wearing Roman dresses and hope you’re not fed up of my close ups.
This will be the last one for a couple of weeks my lovely friends
Hugs, Rochelle

For the first time ever, an A&S motor has escaped the jungle of trackage in St. Louis and is building the UP MBNAS in Bloomington Yard. This surprise event created quite the chase crowd.

I was doing a bit of reconnaissance at the weekend for a photographic tour planned for later this year, first time I've seen the bridge with no scaffolding on it...
None of my photos are HDR or blended images, they are taken from just one shot

Wednesday night at Penmon, Anglesey.
The Bioluminescent Plankton made a little appearance, it wasnt that obvious close to shore unfortunately but I was still really pleased with witnessing this amazing Phenomenon for the first time.
Already paid and i just can't wait! 😍❤️😍❤️The only problem is...the expensive shipping cost to Vietnam and maybe... the taxes when i receive her in the future.
Last weekend was the first time this year, that I drove in my Fuego. It was a good test drive. Let the classic car season start now. Next month the first car meeting to visit.
Metroline DE1593 (LK08FLF) is seen near my local 331 stop ... on a U1!?
Due to a RTA in Ickenham, Routes U1 and U10 were diverted via 331 line of route and Breakspear Road South.
This is also the first time a bus on route U1 has served here since 30th September 1994.
