That would be my first (but not my last) :)
Next to Donald my second favorite character from Duckburg or the "Bark's universe". Several attempts were made in several scales over the years, but now I'm quiet happy with him... ;) Enjoy and have FUN!
The last of my Glacier images from this summer. I'm using this image, which is a Marc Adamus compstomp, to ask all my contacts for a little help. I would never make it as a professional photographer partly because I feel pretty uncomfortable promoting myself, which is as important to being successful in this business as actually shooting good pictures. When I see the work of some of the real talents out there in Landscape Photography, I can be honest with myself about where I stand in the grand scheme of things.... and it makes me thankful that I have another source of income so I don't starve. :)
I may not have much confidence in my own work, but I WILL brag about recognizing those photographers who are really exceptional. I ran into Ian Plant and Joe Rossbach in Canyonlands while they were teaching a workshop last year. Familiar with the immense talent they possess behind the lens, I was struck by their friendly demeanor and good nature. Ian was good enough to share some advice with me when I was shooting slot canyons for the first time, and I've assimilated tons of useful information through his daily photo blog. In short, as astounding a photographer as he is, he's a better man.
It has come to my attention that Ian is in the running for a trip to the North Pole. I'm selfishly asking for your help in sending him on his way. I say selfishly because I really REALLY want to see the amazing images he comes back with. Take a look at what he did in Patagonia, and you will see what I mean. For Christmas, if you want to get me something (I'm an extra-large, by the way), I would really appreciate it if you would go HERE, register, and vote to send Ian on this trip. I guarantee you will be pleased with the results.
This is the last image from my family Glacier trip this summer. Ryan showed me this spot after I begged him for a few months, and we spent several days here trying to get decent light. Steve and I shot this mere minutes before we were enveloped in thick fog for over an hour. It dawned on me about 30 minutes after getting socked in that this was the very same location that a bear poked his head up behind that tree when Steve, Ryan, and Jesse were here the year before. This made me nervous, as we couldn't see 10 feet in front of us for quite some time. I would like to personally apologize to the mountain goats that came roaming up their goat path. Apparently they don't like bear spray in their eyes, but hey, all paw/hoof steps sound the same to me when you can't see anything!
Yes, this is a composite. I zoomed in on the moon because at 16mm it looked like the lint I occasionally find in my belly button. Back to work. Thanks for making 2010 such a great year.
I guess I'm not supposed to put my website address here, so it's in My Profile if anyone cares.

Welcome Swallow
Scientific Name: Hirundo neoxena
Description: The Welcome Swallow is metallic blue-black above, light grey below on the breast and belly, and rust on the forehead, throat and upper breast. It has a long forked tail, with a row of white spots on the individual feathers. The outer tail feathers (streamers) are slightly shorter in the female. Young Welcome Swallows are buffy white, instead of rusty, on the forehead and throat, and have shorter tail streamers.
Similar species: The Barn Swallow, Hirundo rustica, is an uncommon visitor to parts of northern Australia. It can be distinguished from the Welcome Swallow by its black breast band and white underparts. Other swallow species include the White-backed Swallow, Cheramoeca leucosternnus, which has a white back and grey white head, and the Red-rumped Swallow, H. daurica, which is a rare visitor to Australia's north and has a red rump and streaked, chestnut underparts. Swallows are also confused with the martins, of which there are two species in Australia: the Fairy Martin, H. ariel, and the Tree Martin, H. nigricans. Both species have shorter, more square tails, and white to buff rumps.
Swifts (Family Apodidae) are similar in habits and appearance to the swallows, but have longer and more curved wings and differences in their flight. Swifts are rarely seen landing, while swallows are a common sight on wires, posts and other suitable perches.
Distribution: Welcome Swallows are widespread in Australia, but are less common in the far north than in the south.
Habitat: Welcome Swallows visit a wide variety of habitats with the exception of the more heavily forested regions and drier inland areas.
Seasonal movements: Welcome Swallows are partially migratory, moving around in response to food availability.
Feeding: Welcome Swallows feed on a wide variety on insects. They catch prey in flight, using their acrobatic flying skills. The prey is guided into the bird's wide, open mouth with the help of short rictal bristles bordering the bill. These bristles also help protect the bird's eye. Where insects are in large supply, Welcome Swallows feed in large flocks.
Breeding: Welcome Swallows readily breed close to human habitation. The nest is an open cup of mud and grass, made by both sexes, and is attached to a suitable structure, such as a vertical rock wall or building. The nest is lined with feathers and fur. The female alone incubates the eggs but the young are fed by both parents. Often two broods are raised in a season.
Calls: The call is a mixture of twittering and soft warbling notes, and a sharp whistle in alarm.
Minimum Size: 15cm
Maximum Size: 15cm
Average size: 15cm
Average weight: 15g
Breeding season: August to February
Clutch Size: Three to five.
Incubation: 21 days
Nestling Period: 21 days

Rock City officially opened as a public attraction on May 21, 1932. It got off to a slow start because advertising in those days was difficult, especially since Garnet & Frieda Carter’s mountain-top attraction was not located in a place that people would just happen to be passing by and take notice. It was at this point another brilliant idea of Garnet Carter’s was born. In 1936, he enlisted the help of a young sign painter named Clark Byers, who was hired to travel the nation’s highways and offer to paint a farmer’s barns in exchange for letting him paint three simple words: See Rock City. The distinctive black-and-white signs appeared as far north as Michigan, as far west as Texas, and as far south as Florida. The advertising soon began to produce the desired effect and by the 1950's, Garnet's message was painted on over 900 barns. Journalists began calling Clark and his helpers the "Barnyard Rembrandts", and vacationers by the millions have heeded the call to "SEE ROCK CITY".
Garnet's innovative spirit and Clark's hard work are still evident along many U.S. highways (not particularly the interstate system but the old highway system) and are much loved pieces of Americana. This one in particular is located about 30 miles southwest of Rock City and reads "35 Miles to Beautiful Rock City". It is also the barn that has a similar message on the opposite side of the roof that reads "Sequoyah Caverns" making it one of the more unique advertising barns I've ever photographed. Having one 'attraction' on one side of the roof and a completely different 'attraction' on the other side is about as interesting as you can find in one of these old advertising barns. (See the image below in the comments for the other side.)
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Maryland Midland's UBHF train gets a shove from the only two GP38-3s left on the roster as the heavy train of cement hopper loads passes a cemetery in Graceham MD on October 23, 2020.
The stray utility pole which blocks the 2061's cab a bit was once a part of the old code line for WM's block signal system through here. The main is now dark territory with little use for the utility poles that supported it and so as the cross arms rotted and fell off one by one, the pole remained. It is now serving a different purpose supporting a bluebird house which has been mounted on the south side about 4-5 feet from the ground.

Have a wonderful fun WEEKEND. XXXXXX

A lot has changed in Helper over the years, much of it revolving around the decline in rail traffic since the height of the Denver & Rio Grande Western days. Falling demand for coal and shifting traffic patterns after the UP takeover have reduced rail volumes considerably, UP's LROHP (Roper to Helper local) that day a microcosm of today's reality, hauling only a single hopper for the trip east. One could say a sad state of affairs; although we'd all love to see Rio Grande's 2020 leading passenger trains again in place of armor yellow, that won't be happening anytime soon. Any town that suffers a structural decline in economic activity has to try to reinvent itself, this mural attempting to depict the "new" Helper hoping to bring in some tourism dollars, while acknowledging its roots, for better or for worse.
For those that need glasses like me, the mural reads:

When I'm in trouble or out of step
If my balance has been upset
Oh, there's a feeling I can't accept
There's one thing, helps me to forget
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
If life were easy and didn't ask
Didn't tease me or take things back
I could start to understand
What makes me the man I am
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I'm not the man I used to be
I've lost dreams that won't come back
Memories fading fast
I should save the ones I have
What's the use?
Most of them are bad
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I can't explain
But I'm not the man I used to be
It's a shame, don't know my name
I can't explain
I'm not the man I used to be
Do you know my name?
Do you, do you need me?
But I'm not the man...

A NS Coal train being pushed by 4 manned Helpers at Cassandra, PA. The Summit at Gallitzin on this former PRR line is just a few miles away, and then it is downhill all the way to Altoona.
Warm evening light falls on Hornsey Windpump. Despite their appearance windpumps are not windmills, instead they were used to help drain the area all around the Norfolk Broads or wetlands.
The wild horses in North America, which are the mustangs in the USA and the Wildies of Alberta are under threat of irradication (even more so in the USA). It all comes down to money and beef. These horses are on crown lands and have been rooming free since the 1500's. The ranchers want all their cattle on the public land to graze, yet the horses are not allowed to roam free, according to the ranchers. There are many studies out there that prove horses in the wild do not damage the land or disturb the roots of the grasses, as they eat. And yes they do help the ecosystem, in many ways. They travel pretty similar to bisons, but in smaller groups. The bands consist of between 6 to 10 horses and they always travel from point A to B in a single file. Cattle on the other hand, are always spread out and they are in the hundreds. Cattle destroy and disturb the water sources and poop every where. Horses on the other hand, poop on the same pile which is call stud pile.
I had to put this on social media, because today starts the biggest round up in the history of the United States of America in Wyoming. They will round up more than 4000 horses and a big portion of them will most likely be killed and sold for dog food. Families broken up and the young ones separated from their mothers. Some of these bands (families) have been together for over 10 years. Hopefully with more awareness and advocacy, the horses will be spared and go back to rooming free.
Wild horses are a symbol of freedom and we are taking that away from them. Let's not forget we would not be where we are in history without the help of horses.
Rio Grande SD40T-2s No. 5386, 5405, 5342, 5385, and 5400 are ready to cut into an inbound Savage coal train at Helper, Utah on Feb. 15, 1999.

UP 8310 and three GEs just helped a coal load climb Soldier Summit on Main 1. Here at Colton, the manned helpers have crossed over to Main 2 so they can return to Helper. Before heading down the hill, the conductor will assist the coal load in putting their train back together.

This was the first wren to tumble out of the nest. It was very noisily calling for help, which it got. Although I saw 6 wrens fledge I only managed to photograph 3 of them, and only two successfully as the others disappeared into the undergrowth.
We are at Grammy's house this weekend and Thanksgiving dinner preparations are underway today, and Jane is underfoot the whole time. So far she has scored some canned pumpkin for the Pumpkin Pie being made.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We have lots to be thankful for.
