Forbes of Kingennie is a country retreat I spent the weekend at a few weeks ago. It’s a beautiful place where you can hire a lodge or a private cabin, spend an enjoyable day fishing in the well-stocked reserves, golfing on the private course or one of many other fun activities that I didn't get to try because I was daft enough to be getting up long before dawn to take photographs.

Actually the morning sunrise was so stunning that I’m pretty sure I got the better part of the deal and at least I wasn't among those that were so hungover that they could face the sun when eventually they did rise.

The shot is centred on the main building of the complex with rental lodges and holiday homes either side. Taken at approximately 5 minutes after the sun broke the horizon it was captured in a single frame taken over 15 seconds with an ND filter to help smooth what little movement there was in the water.

Forbes Island provides dining beneath the sea or on the white sand patios with incredible views of SF Bay, Downtown, Alcatraz, Sea Lions, Coit Tower & the Golden Gate Bridge

A pair of C40-8s (2131 + 2119) lead a train of loaded iron ore off the Missabe Sub onto the North Fairlane leg destined for Fairlane processing plant.

... along the Barron Canyon Road in Algonquin Park.

Krujë. In the background the fortress. Kruje has Ottoman style influences seen in the alley with the old bazaar. Krujas old bazaar is well preserved, and is a very photogenic place, attracting quite some tourists. Nowadays it houses mainly souvenir shops with traditional Albanian costumes, musical instruments, old books and memorabilia from the Communist days.

On a foggy morning, DMIR 400 guides a loaded Duluth bound taconite train out of the Fairlane Processing plant and onto the Canadian National Missabe Subdivision.

DMIR #400, the first of twenty SD40-3s rebuilt at Proctor, leads U718, limestone empties from Minorca, across the rarely photographed steel bridge over the St. Louis River outside of Forbes, Minnesota.

Huge thanks to my boy JerdFigs for editing this. Go check him out, he's tagged.

A solo rebuilt CN SD75IACC leads M347 across the St. Louis River in Forbes, Minnesota, one of the first of a 50-unit order of SD75Is to be rebuilt by Progress Rail.

Two and a half hours later the pair of SD70MACs lead the westbound Walsenburg Turn through Forbes Park as the sun barely penetrates the cloud bank.

A pair of C40-8's (consecutively numbered at that) are seen approaching Town Line Road in Forbes with a loaded train of raw Taconite from the Thunderbird Mine in Eveleth.

The lead Dash 8 wears CN's 15 Year Anniversary logo, commemorating CN's 15th year as a privately owned company, no longer run by the Canadian federal government.
