Trees in some fog. Not very original but I’m restricted to my local area like a lot of people. Trees, I have to say, aren’t my favourite subject but maybe I’ll change my mind over the next few weeks
Back in March specifically March 30, 2024 when the Gas local still held on to using blue pullers as its daily power set, MRL 4402/4403 guide the Day Gas east through Evaro approaching the east end of the siding. In the background you can see a string of MRL box cars that have been stored for who knows how long, when I returned back to this spot a few months later in late May the stored box cars had been taken away.
It is sometimes nice to play "tourist" in my local home town of Mount Gambier in South Australia, and get out and see the sights. This is Umpherstone Sinkhole. It is one of many sinkholes and caves in our limestone landscape. Here, the sinkhole has been turned into a lovely garden with ivy taking over the walls of the sinkhole in spectacular fashion. This is set within some lovely gardens in a very industrial area of town dominated by timber mills.
Some of my neighbors wandering the streets .This was about 3 blocks form my house. Although I have a green belt behind my place , they seem to have adapted quite well to city life.

my buddy Maggie just went through a ton of drama with a woman that bought one of her paintings during a show we had at Art Farm. at one point when the drama got super thick.. the woman told Maggie "I don't think I want to support local art anymore".. super passive aggressive, which is really common in Seattle.
I had to borrow the phrase.. I love it!!

Among the exotic and unusual residents of the Brevard Zoo you will find some local visitors hanging out, too! Though this little bird wasn't very unusual or colorful, I still loved the way she posed for me!

Pan Am Railways local BO1 is seen switching out Rousselot in this shot looking east on the South Reading Industrial Track at Allens Lane crossing. MEC 505 is an unrebuilt sister to the MBTA unit in the previous post having been built by GMDD in Jul. 1974 as CN 9470.
This customer is the only reason there is still freight service on the Eastern Route main and on this last branchline in the northern suburbs of Boston.
Rousselot is the worldwide leader in gelatin production and has a dozen other plants around the world. This particular facility was owned by Eastman Kodak until 2012, although manufacturing has taken place on this site since 1812 when a glue factory opened here.
Kodak used the plant primarily for making a very pure gelatin used in photographic film, but the market for that has dwindled with the emergence of digital cameras. As recently as 2007, 95 percent of the gelatin it produced went toward film, but by 2011 that had been reduced to a 50-50 split between gelatin for film and for other products. During the last 10 years, the facility's production has also decreased dramatically, going from about 19 million pounds of gel in 1999 to 2.75 million pounds at the time the plant was sold.
However the shift from film pharmaceutical products has led to increased production in recent years and more inbound raw materials (bone chips and acid) arriving by rail.

Running Monday to Friday, nicknamed the Lost Local, and typically having a rather photogenic set of power, this local for BNSF has some pretty classy operations. Originating out of the little treasure trove of Great Falls, MT the Lost Local is seen here on its run south to Fairfield, MT after already servicing the Elevator in Choteau.

In what has become an annual tradition my gf and I returned to the lakes region on the last weekend of tourist season for a couple days of hiking, wandering around, good food, scenic drives, breweries, a boat ride and bloody marys on the big lake....and of course some trains!
The Winnipesaukee Scenic Railway's 1030 AM departure from Meredith is southbound on the railroad's state owned route which was once the Boston and Maine Railroad's White Mountains mainline originally constructed by the Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad in 1849. Leading the way is 105 is an ex New Orleans Public Belt Railway SW1000 blt. Aug. 1971 and acquired in 2020. This underphotographed railroad is spectacularly scenic during the famed New England fall foliage season, and while this year's colors weren't as spectacular as last year's even a poor year in New England is still better than just about anywhere else!
The little tourist train packed with leaf peeping visitors is at about MP 35.7 as it passes the wide lawn behind a spectacular lakefront home along Meredith Bay which it will hug the shoreline of as far as Weirs Beach where it will then south along Paugus Bay on its journey south to the Lakeport neighborhood pf Laconia.

Many curious local friends inquire about my lack of exhibitionism.
Of not wanting to promote the industry of beauty so called tourism.
I just merely 'forget' to tag my images properly.
Resort-names, Country, climate, environment, etc...
Well.
I see no point. To me, beauty is everywhere.
Bangkok to Bombay to Brussels.
Beautiful.
A person who waits to unwrap his/her camera until a pre-conceived target is reached, is merely following a hollow dream.
"If I was in your location..."
"If I had your kind of camera..."
Many such comments are targeted at my photos.
Instead, I'd rather look around me.
The immediate me.
Faces, shapes, skies, land, landmarks... God.
Why does memory cards have to be limited to GBs. Why can't we have
Terabytes of storage?
There is just so much to shoot!

When I was working at Sun Island ( www.villahotels.com/sun/index.htm )
this used to be a favourite spot.
Off limits for the tourists, (because of unloading and other back-house activities) this jetty is bypassed by many, as uninteresting and ugly.
I find many photo opportunities, of both action and scenery, here.
Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder.

Happy shooting to all my friends.
