A pair of SOO SD60s head south through Enfield NC on the former Atlantic Coast Line during the summer of 1998.
Molten Sulfur trains have plied a couple of CSX routings for decades now; From the CP at Chicago, then mostly coming east via the C&O before heading south at Richmond down the ACL before handing off to NS for final destination of Aurora NC's Lee Creek refinery. I remember seeing these trains occasionally on the B&O when I was a kid, and the various CP-SOO power was cause for great excitement.
Eventually like all cool things, the unit trains pretty much ended and the molten sulfur comes down in regular blocks (formerly loads on Q415, mtys on Q416). To keep things entertaining, CSX insisted on large blocks of molten sulfur loads on the rear of Q415, resulting in countless knuckles over the years. I never got one of course, but many of my fellow throttle-jockeys would get the tail-end to squat down and yank some place important on the RR...usually during rush hour.

The Ilkisiusiu Pride early one morning making their way across open ground to a small wooded area where they will find a shady spot to sleep the rest of the day. Here we see four adult lionesses, two older subadults (fifth in line and one right at the back), two larger cubs leading the second group, and the three smaller cubs from one of the previous photos (the two at the front and their sibling coming in from the right).
An interesting point to note, is that this particular photo was taken at 6:30am. We'd been with the pride for 15 minutes or so, before which we'd had a half-hour drive from camp. By 6:40am the pride had gone into cover and would not come out again until late afternoon. The moral of course being that if you don't break camp early before the sun rises, you'll not witness experiences like this.
Partial Solar Eclipse, juxtaposed with an aerial slack line demonstration between buildings as part of the Roanoke "go fest". Cloudy enough that a B&W conversation made it more dramatic

The tree row had been planted as a windbreak to prevent the former Hochwald railway (meanwhile discontinued) from snow drift.
Ridgeway Lane girder bridge
The bridge carries an ancient track called Ridgeway Lane (now a county unclassified unmetalled road) over the now-dismantled Rugby to Leamington line. The cutting, approximately 60 feet deep, took the railway through a ridge of high ground between Hunningham Hill and Snowford.
The single-span wrought-iron bridge is of trussed lattice girder construction and when built in 1851 it was the longest such bridge ever constructed. In later years, four lattice columns and cross-ties were added to reinforce the original structure

My brother-in-law, Josh, walking ahead on our tour through Bruges. I'm sure he thought it was weird I kept stopping to get 'the shot.'
As it got later last Friday evening a bank of red colour covered the Western horizon and reflected in the pools left behind by the receding tide , A rather large crop from my 25- 105 lens.
All the Old Fashion gardens were not complete without Queen Anne's Lace. A wonderful foggy morning, the fog was so thick it was actually misting thru the air.

The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.
