With paint peeling all over the nose the Lackawanna Heritage unit is looking a little rough. None the less I made a lunchtime intercept to shoot it coming down to Toledo at Vienna Rd. Erie, MI 3/9/2021
for the first time this year i was go by bike and took a look at the nearby locations like this lake, alot of people i meet here, all enjoy the clean nature around here, i like this too because thats one of the rare lakes without privat areas directly on it and no motorboats are allowed here so the water and nature quality holds on here
Or more less...
Or more or less... the same?
We were lucky enough to catch a burst of warm sunlight around evening time on a cloudy day, that lit up the bright yellow of the rapeseed, producing this beautiful contrast of warm yellow and cool blue.
Tried a number of compositions using the same elements, but in the end liked this sweeping, fairly minimalist shot, as it captured the flavour of the location and time the best - relatively flat, open countryside, with broad, sweeping sky, and cool, though bright conditions.
A single RAW image, tonemapped in Photomatix, finished in Lightroom and Elements.
Less than a mile out of a 40 mph speed restriction, Rio Grande's hot 'Railblazer', an overnight Denver to Salt Lake City piggyback train, roars westward through Provo, Utah at 60 mph on June 18, 1987.
Another from my adventure a few days back.
The feelings felt in places such as this opposed to those on my first commute of the year this morning couldn't be further apart.
I need a job in the woods.
More or less I had an idea of what to shoot for the week's themes but it took much longer than planned. Had to dig out some decaying leaves in the backyard looking for the right subject. Finally found this 1.5 inch very fragile leaf skeleton.

Mount Ngauruhoe is an active volcano in Tongariro National Park here in New Zealand. 2,291m elevation. I have been lucky to climb this amazing mountain in both summer and winter conditions. Although often regarded as a separate mountain, geologically it is a secondary cone of Mount Tongariro. A very special and spiritual spot. Rather than making a more common wide angel landscape shot I decided to experiment with a telephoto lens shot. This created a very different way of seeing and composing the image. Interesting. The gorgeous lighting was changing fast. It was fascinating to watch how the colour of the sky and reflections in the clouds changed from deep red to dark blue over less than 20 minutes.

The NTWLAU manifest continues west with only 2 units now. Guess they didn't want all that power for the rest of the trip.
The highly skilled balancing act of the star performer!
Something rather over-the-top for Macro Mondays theme 'Redux 2018' and Smile on Saturday theme 'Wish Upon a Star'. This was my first idea for the MM theme 'Balance' just a few weeks ago, but decided on something else.
No snails were harmed in the process of making this photograph. As usual, the set up and lighting were first done, then the snail added to keep shooting time to a minimum. This is one of several small juvenile snails that are overwintering in the safety and relative warmth of my conservatory. Although they are less active at this time of year, they can usually be convinced to perform when enticed by lettuce.

have a nice weekend
The beech tree avenue at Moor Crichel is most frequently shot from the centre of the road for its pleasing symmetry (being careful not to be run over), but I've had this shot in mind for a little while now, so a week or so ago when fog was forecast I took the opportunity to grab the shot I'd envisaged. Something a little different - I hope you like it!
I’m sure I’m not the only one whose emotions are influenced by the weather. During the winter of cold days, rain, wind and early evenings, it’s hard to be joyful, upbeat and positive. And then as Summer comes we’re outside more, warmer, and generally happier.
This is a spot in the Little Lakes Valley of the Sierra Nevadas, and this particular area is around 11,000ft in elevation. Air is really thin, and there are only a few months of the year where it’s accessible with no snow. I took this in early October last year and they got their first major snow storm the week after. But the sun will always come out eventually. Patience. Summer is less than three months away. And San Diego is less than three hours away, and we all know who is in San Diego right?
I really am feeling inspired lately, i was kinda MIA for a bit. I was kinda in a rut and just feeling burnt out but i feel a lot better about photography/ my classes has been really inspiring and Im just having fun again, but the last 2 weeks of the semester are coming up and its gonna get real.
p.s. The colors on here look a little muddy compared to the original.
My favorite thing to do is not have a plan when I go shoot. I love to get in my truck, point it in a direction and go. The "NOT" knowing is the fun part because all I do is chase the light. I captured this image after rounding a curve in the road. You never know what you'll find just outside your door.
Striking diving duck of coastal harbors, mountain lakes, and large rivers. Very similar to Common Goldeneye. Males are easiest: Barrow’s has more black on the back, a downward-pointing spur on the side, and a crescent-shaped (not circular) white patch on the face. Females can be very difficult. Barrow’s usually has a yellow bill, but Common can rarely show a dull yellowish bill. Head and bill shape are important: Barrow’s has a steeper forehead and a puffy nape, and a shorter bill with a more rounded lower edge. Fairly common in western U.S. and Canada; much less common in the northeast. Small population in Iceland. Frequently found in mixed flocks with Common Goldeneye.
Nearly every year, we get one Barrow's Goldeneye among the hundreds of Common Goldeneye that make Ottawa their winter home. It's a challenge to be the first area birder to find and report it to the others. I am not usually that birder. Like all sea ducks, they prefer to be well away from the shore, making photography a challenge.
Strathcona Park, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. December 2009.
My word for 2014. To fear·less, to face my fears, to push through them and come out okay (and hopefully in a better place).

Just needed a Kernow fix , so here is a shot down on the beach at Trebarwith Strand .
The ever popular beach of Trebarwith Strand is located around two miles south of Tintagel. It is one of the few easily accessible beaches along this stretch of North Cornwall coast. Now owned by the National Trust the name comes from the Cornish 'Trebervedh Sian'.
The beach at Trebarwith Strand is a long stretch of golden sand backed by flat rocks and beyond these steep cliffs. At low tide the beach extends almost a mile , however as the tide pushes in this all but disappears leaving just the rocks at the base of the cliffs. If you do visit the beach make sure you check the tides before going for a walk - each year a number of people need rescuing after becoming cut off by the tide.
Along the length of the beach are several caves set in the high cliffs, particularly towards the village end. Some of these are quite deep and little eerie if you fancy exploring. The many rock pools along the Strand are less intimidating and contain a wealth of sealife. These little pools make the ideal place for crabs, shrimps, small fish such and the like to hide until the tide returns.
With plenty of facilities and a seasonal lifeguard service Trebarwith Strand is a great family beach. Please not though, only swim when the lifeguards are on duty. Locally it is perhaps best known as a surf beach which picks up plenty of swell. The cliffs at the southern end also provide a little shelter from the wind.
Just around the corner from the main beach is a little cove which has the remains of a harbour. This is Port William (hence the name of the pub) which was formerly used in the export of slate. Another industrial legacy at the Strand is the gully-like pathway carved into the rocks at the beach entrance; this was carved out hundreds of years ago when sand and seaweed were taken from the beach by farmers.
Over the years Trebarwith Strand has been used as a location in several films. These include the 1974 film, "The Seaweed Children", "Saving Grace" (2000), "Oscar and Lucinda" (1997) and the 1996 production of Shakespeare\'s "Twelfth Night". All testimony to this beach\'s stunning natural beauty.

Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to leave congratulations and such lovely comment, it's very much appreciated!
"Smile on Saturdays" Less is More!
a night shot taken in La Oliva, Fuerteventura, Canary Island. In total 9 vertical images (exposed 8 sec each), merged as a panorama covering more or less 120 degrees of the horizon line in this place. The light pollution was awful but this time helped to light paint the image due to the clouds reflecting the light to the ground. In fact, my camera saw more than me at night. I had to use all my 3 light sources I took with me to lit up the inside of the abandoned house. Had only a mobile phone to have some light to see settings on my camera. Not easy to move around with tripped and all these bushes in a way. Definitely a must return location, hope to get a clear sky when the Milky Way is visible :)
Near Healy, Kansas. This lek was kind of disappointing photo-wise, mostly because no females were present an the guys seemed a bit subdued as a result. Not a lot of jumping or tussling.

A west facing diner. That illuminated the simplest of furniture fixtures indoors at sunset. 3500 ft. New Mexico. Indigenous flavors and colors. I wouldn’t do justice in selecting a favorite. I can’t thank them enough for the best green chili pork stew and jalapeño tamales ever.
