I don't know about this one. What would make it better? I will post the original. Every crop seemed to not be right and she was to far off, now it might be way to cropped!

If there is a bright spot to this week of working in isolation it's being here when an unusual visit by an extra train makes an appearance. Just before noon CN 5400 arrived with an empty center sill flat car (from Colfax probably) and two gondolas full of new ties. I wasn't ready to record their arrival and they proceeded to the west end of the siding where they tacked the lumber empty onto the string of cars already stored there. After that they shoved the gondolas up the main until clear of the east end and headed back into the siding where they dropped the tie cars. With construction expected on the autoport spur these could be for that project, or perhaps for normal maintenance as I doubt this is enough ties to cover all the new construction.
Once the gondolas were tied down here, the power moved down to the stored flats for air tests etc. With the stored cars ready to move for the first time in many months they backed out of the siding to begin the trip back east. New Richmond, WI, March 18, 2020.

I created this composite image just for a bit of fun but I'm not sharing it in isolation in case it gets shared and people try to pass it off as a real image; I consider it to be digital art. So I included both of the original images in this collage photo. Both components of the composite were taken by me with a Canon 1100D with 18-55mm kit lens

The Milky Way was taken on 2nd July 2014 and is a stack of 20 x 30 second shots. I reprocessed this image for a talk I did on 8th March 2018. Full resolution version of this image with all the technical info can be found here:
The star trails over St. Nicholas' Church, Tackley. I shot this 60 minute star trails on 11th February 2018. Full technical info and full resolution image can be found here:
I did this to show easy it is to create a nice looking Milky Way shot which is completely fake in terms of image composition, even if you have taken both images yourself. But I did this as a bit of fun; it's not a technique I would usually consider doing because I prefer to spend my time on genuine astrophotography.
I used Star Spikes Pro to add diffraction spikes and increase star colour. The bright blue star is Vega, the orange star is Altair, 2 stars of the Summer Triangle. The 3rd star of the triangle is Deneb and that's just hiding behind the church tower.

Caught a glimpse of this house way off the road but couldn't find a way to get to it. The original entrance had been cut off by a stream and overgrowth. Eventually we found an overgrown grass covered track from a neighboring house (also abandoned) a half mile away that led here.
The four weeks finished yesterday but we are in level 4 till Monday and then down to level 3 so I am going to keep going.

A very humid, and unstable air mass over the midwest due to a dome of high pressure has caused a massive heat wave here in Illinois. We have had ridge riders, storms forming due to afternoon heating throughout this week as well; an outflow boundary that formed from these pulse storms throughout this week thus far combined with some slight forcing from a weak cold front this afternoon triggered redevelopment of thunderstorms.
Weaker low level shear with mid level support allowed for linear-in-nature storms to fire up along I57 this afternoon, and while they struggled to do anything, around 130pm, they would finally go severe thunderstorm warned for Coles, Clark, and Edgar Counties.
Dark clouds gathered, rain fell heavily, and thunder rumbled, amidst lightning bolts striking, giving a nice ominous atmosphere near my home in Cumberland County.
I cruised around my usual back roads, and came across this white barn-shed, and couldn't help but love the contrast.
Thank you for looking and for all the recent support on my work! I appreciate it very much :-)
Sincerely,
Melinda
