Continuing the unofficial Rock island theme I seem to have stumbled into...

In its short life, this railroad has already been captured from every possible angle above ground level. That being said, there was no way I was going to pass up a chance to grab my own shots; it's simply too far from home for my typical day trips. Thus, after a Thursday afternoon on the Fordyce & Princeton in Arkansas, I worked my way east to Cleveland, MS, and drove the remaining 45 minutes early the next morning.

The Mississippi Delta Railroad's two Rock-painted geeps sun themselves on a quiet Friday morning in Sumner, Mississippi. From the railroad's website: "The Mississippi Delta Railroad, MSDR, based in Sumner, MS, operates a total of 85 miles of track in Northwest MS from a connection with the Canadian National Railway at Swan Lake, MS." Unfortunately, the railroad didn't turn a wheel - except for a hi-rail truck - but it was worth a stop to get these while still clean and fresh. Just had to wait a couple hours for the shadows to recede a bit. Note NS (ex-SOU) MoW caboose #500000 behind the power, across the street.

A fitting end to my 2020 tour, because the first clouds I had seen all week started to roll in later in the morning and this was pretty much the end of it all.

I made this image using an IR-converted camera with a 590nm filter. I like the color results in channel-swapped images. They're familiar, and yet somehow unreal. Like finding a new dimension or an entirely new season. Helps to see with fresh eyes.

This is a male Walrus on a beach on Edgeoya in the Svalbard archipelago. You can see they are covered in fine hair which is greeny brown and looks to me almost like it is covered in moss. The baggy skin also reminds me of an ill-fitting suit. Male Walruses hang around on favourite beaches in groups while the females look after the young, again in groups, but not coming ashore where the young would be vulnerable to Polar Bears. Adults Walruses have a 5cm thick skin which is used to being jabbed by tusks so Polar Bears cannot usually make an impact with their teeth and claws, though a thinner skinned juvenile would not be safe. Male Walrus are larger and heavier than females with longer tusks. Big males can weigh more than a metric tonne and can have tusks over a metre long, though I have never seen one with such long tusks.

I've got several folders full of photos that have not yet made the flickr "cut". It's not that they're bad images or that they displease me. The problem is that at any given moment, they just don't seem to fit in. And for me, the concept of fitting in is a moving target. What fits today may not fit tomorrow. And when something finally does fit, it may be totally too late. Just like a witty comeback that does not occur until days after someone says something to you. For me it's often a seasonal issue involving, for example, winter photos that seem wholly out of place once spring arrives. I prefer my photostream reflects the current moment, at least visually in terms of time of year. It's one of many limitations I place upon publication of photos that fortunately has no impact on my creation of them.

This photo's moment finally arrived this morning. A sunset view of nascent winter wheat, barely three inches tall, but appearing to tower under a twilight sky. I love seeing the individuality of the thin stalks. They work together to provide a monolith of green when viewed from a distance. Yet up close, each one seems to express its own shape and character. As always, shooting scenes of vibrant color under diminished lighting appeals to my sense of understating the obvious aspect in favor of a lesser one. It's my way of fitting in.

an oldie, but a goodie;-)

This probably won't appeal to everyone, but tough..... I like it. And the title pretty much wrote itself.

Gull says, "Hey Joe! He thinks he's one of us!"

Joe says, "Oh no! Not again!"

Okay... I know my brain is playing way too much... I need to stick to photography. :-)

Southern Railway S15 Class 4-6-0 847 steams away from Horsted Keynes station on the Bluebell Railway with its freight train at the end of a 75H Charters event.

Droplets from a kitchen faucet with a portable dishwasher attachment fitting.

It took a little finessing of the valve to get a decent drip from the faucet, and quite a few pictures to get a shot I liked. I got three streams going for an earlier batch, but was unable to duplicate that for the batch that yielded this picture.

GN 3443 has found a new life in the town of Burlington, IA working for the Burlington Junction Railway doing transloading and BNSF interchange runs. This is a fitting place for this locomotive since the "Burlington" in Burlington Northern refers to this town in Iowa.

It is only fitting that the first CSX train to venture up into the heart of the former MEC, is a Geometry train to measure the track condition.

Here in Greene, ME at the former Maine Poly site, CSXT 9969 with consist heads west towards Rigby for its journey back home having completed several scans of the area. MEC 509 hitches a ride on the rear in a somewhat awkward arrangement, however the train is not scanning on this jaunt.

Already the effects of this have been seen with 10 MPH speedos across the board... fortunately the track gang is well into production just a few miles ahead so a good sign of things to come.

This was the scene of Dungeness A & B nuclear power stations one autumn evening on the Dungeness headland in Kent, England. Both of these power stations are now decommissioned.

With this shot I wanted to show the rugged and barren Dungeness landscape with its imposing yet also fitting power station, reaching out to spread its energy to the less desolate world beyond.
