It is 25 degrees F. (-3.8 C) here this morning; I'd say there goes the tree blossoms. Hope not. We took a pause in yard work yesterday until it warms back up. I walked down to the dock and shot this when I saw how beautiful the low hanging clouds looked. Enhanced in Topaz Studio.

Well I have checked and LOADS of things froze; but not all.

Judging from the colour and the image, I prefer film shot. Regrettably, film shots have loads of limitations : it is a river of no return..... note that the themes here are all secular, never religious !

Both vessels loading at Garrucha Port.

Both are Bulk Carriers loading with Gypsum mined locally at Sorbas. It is delivered to the port by fleets of articulated tipper lorries.

Millions of tonnes of Gypsum are exported annually.

There are always two bulk carriers loading.

They are loading logs on this barge. They start on one end and work their way back.

A feature if Iceland is the amount of ice that is visible. It creates many interesting patterns and is of different colours too.

Its got to be Large

Another from last years autumn roadtrip

There was a rather thick fog and the sun was trying to break through

I was so tempted to go through the gate to composition heaven

We got a load of great shots along the fenceline as the light changed as the thickness of the fog moved around

This inspires me to go chasing some more fog

Have a great truck Thursday all!

Yet another picture of my DIY square aperture experiment. Since the square bokeh looks pretty nervous I've tried to frame the marguerite with the darker and smoother part of the bokeh. I've chosen this title since images often look pixelated while being loaded, where the bokeh-squares look to me like big pixels. Hope you like it! HBW!

There is a light breeze blowing at the Valders stone quarry, as Wisconsin Central's Manitowoc turn, L2627 pulls some loads of marble with their lone SDL39, 587.

CN SD40-2W 5349 leads limestone loads to Minntac North through Keenan, MN.

A tiny CP T07 rolls west in the heat with only 6 cars from IKO in tow. The early morning mine run was cut short after they came across about 300ft of washed out trackage. They turned back for Havelock yard and were only able to take a few valuable loads from IKO to Toronto.

GWR 2857 accelerates along the River Severn at Hampton Load.

BLOL 7591 (ex NP GP9) & BLOL 7504 (original IC GP9, now a GP10) loading grain cars for the CN up in Charolette, IL. This was back in 2017 when it seemed to be easier to catch matching set of Bloomer power & catch bigger trains. Still to this day, I love shooting these guys.

During our trip to the Twin Ports and Iron Range, my friends and I decided we would attempt to go after Cliff's Northshore Mining operation. Operating in some very remote territory and with limited public access to the line, this railroad has run in relative obscurity compared to the other ore haulers in the region. Armed with some solid intel as to when they would be running, we went to the MN 2 overpass, and we waited. And waited. It rained, it was foggy, and the mosquitos were out for blood. After about an hour and 45 minutes, we were starting to wonder if we had missed it. Finally, a distant horn, and a few moments later, the 11 AM crude ore loads came slowly into view. Simultaneously, the rain tapered off, and the sun showed itself for the first time in a few hours. It all added up to a very nice view of NSM's recently purchased SD70ACes, leaning into the curve with dynamics whining as the heavy train worked downhill towards Silver Bay.

for the larger the load,

the greater will be the profit upon profit."

Still hungry for some trains, we continued to Zeebrugge, hoping to still catch the HSL car train to Germany. We were late though, but there were still some class 66 locos roaming around. We caught RTBC's PB 14 with a car train at the north end of the Pelikaan yard.
