A set of leased Norfolk Southern GP40-2s provide power for an Amtrak ballast extra on the Northeast Corridor. At the time of this photo 4 Track had been out of service between MIDWAY and COUNTY Interlockings for a few months now due to a tie and rail replacement project. KN702 carefully backs down 4 track into the work area. The consist would be dropped here, with NS 3030 returning to Adams Yard light. NS 3032 and 3031 would easily handle this 20-car train on the following day. The track leading off the NEC to the right is the little-used connection to Conrail's Amboy Secondary.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.
These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, and having moved from professional Nikon equipment to consumer bodies and lenses, I travel light less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 22.893+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

**** This frame was chosen on August 7th 2018 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #80. This is my 103rd photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to every one of the 17.950 Million people who have visited, favourite and commented on this and all of my other photographs here on my FLICKR site. *****

'The beast from the East', a Siberian cold front and weather phenomenon, has swept across the United Kingdom duringh the past few days, and last night was Kent's turn to brace herself for the deluge of snow.

Since the middle of last year, we started getting Bewick's Wrens on our back patio at the rate if ten of more day. They're ground feeders and are looking for protein. Any ol' bug will do, but I've noticed that these wrens love earwigs. Good thing I don't have to raise earwigs. I have no idea where they come from - except other earwigs - but they're been a constant in my long life. I must, therefore, live on the earwig continent of the world. If you happen to see one of Mr. Potato Head's ears trotting along with a poorly made mop, that's him!
Bewick's (pronounced BEEwick's) wrens are typical wrens. Tail held at an angle, usually bobbing, and sprinting from point to point if the points are six inches apart. In disposition, cuteness, and behavior, it's a ground dwelling chickadee with an aversion to camera lenses. You'll know one when you don't see one.
This was one of the first I ever saw, as usual, at Old Borges Ranch scuttering around the barns and paddocks and by the fields, but never in the fields. That was in 2009, but this one was at the beginning of this year. I have never seen one perch on a blade of grass or anything man-made for that matter (like a skillet handle - and I have no idea how I came up with that as an example since there are no skillets lying around the ranch).

There is a personal story with this photo. I bought a set of 6 cups and saucer over 30 years ago when I was a graduate student at the University of Alberta. The set was purchased at the local Army & Navy Store. Since then, I have moved to different cities and parts of the country and at present, only a pair survived so far! I do't use the cup any more except once in a while for old memory's sake! The reason I mentioned about Army & Navy Store is because due to the COVID 19 Pandemic, like many other businesses, Army & Navy also had to shut down their stores!

"Purple Handle" 2014
Rue Notre Dame, Bordeaux. The handle 'was' purple but now most of the paint is scratched off. A simple yet elegant ( and somewhat Gothic or Art Deco ? ) design. The deep dark black is a bit scarey !
« Poignée violette 2014
Rue Notre Dame, Bordeaux. La poignée « était » violette mais la plupart de la peinture est maintenant grattée. Un design simple mais élégant (un peu gothique ou art déco ?) Le noir profond est effrayant ..
.....on the door of the old ice house that is a few feet from the house I grew up in and where I now live. The building is over a hundred years old and at one time had a cellar where ice was stored to keep food fresh all summer long. I remember Dad hauling large blocks of ice with the horses and sleigh from the lake four miles away in the winter. We had no electricity and the ice well was our fridge in the summer time. When the power finally came through our district the first items Dad bought were a fridge, deepfreeze and a radio. Such excitement in our house and we smiled every day of the week, not just Saturday!

There is nothing like holding a beautiful, cold, wild, trout in your hands to improve your disposition. It is even more rewarding when you can handle it with care and return it to the stream.
I fooled this trout with a small caddis fly pattern in a small stream in SW Wisconsin.
For me fishing is just an excuse to hang around rivers and streams. I enjoy the environs that trout inhabit. I love to photograph it all.
