Photographically, the result was initially unsatisfactory, as the fine detail in the bark is missing. The camera was loaded with a film unsuitable for the scene and lighting conditions: too high in contrast and too low in sensitivity for the harsh backlight in the dark forest. Leaning against a tree allowed for an exposure of 1/30 second with the aperture wide open. However, the shape of the tree trunks against the illuminated background was brought out, which was what I was actually after.
Another shot of Silbury Hill. This shot is from a higher altitude and shows the top of the hill. The general public are not permitted to climb the hill, so the last time I saw the top was as a young child in the 1970's.

Not quite as wild as in Down Under, but disturbing enough in civilised Hertfordshire. It actually is the policy of the National Trust, owner of these woods, to keep them as natural as possible which is a difficult task as the woods are open to the public. So, you watch out for branches that are about to fall or have already broken off the tree. Photographically speaking, this is wunderbar. Leica M Mono, Voigtlander CS 2.2/50.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
Since CSX has taken over the pan am power has been hanging around. Recently Portsmouth branch Local L063 got two CSX GP40-2 for power. They just got paper before crossing the Great Bay as they head for Portsmouth with 2 cars for Tyco and 16 cars for Sea3. Photo taken Stratham, NH January 22, 2025
I like to document the scene so even with a long hood forward and high sun this rather unique signal arrangement was just too cool to pass up!
After making the nearly 64 mile trip south to Dorena for some industry work, Florida East Coast Railway local 905 is starting back to Bowden Yard in Jacksonville. Running long hood forward is FEC 508, an EMD GP38-2 built new for the road in Apr. 1978 and still adorned with the simplified blue dip scheme and classic large Hurricane logo. They are passing this interesting intermediate signal in the middle of the 20,500 ft Dorena siding as they approach the Otis Hunter Road crossing at MP 63.8 on the Flagler Subdivision mainline north of the town of4th Bunnell.
The mainline here dates from 1925 and is known as the Moultrie Cutoff. It was constructed as a nearly straight arrow higj speed line from St. Augustine to Bunnell that eliminated the long dog leg out to East Palatka via the original mainline dating from 1885.

Rio Grande 5512, one of 17 SD50 units on Rio Grande's all EMD locomotive roster, leads train No. 772 through Lakota Junction, just east of Geneva Steel on a rainy April 26, 1989 in Utah County.

Chance encounter in the local city park - making two new friends. (-;
CN 8952 pays homage to the fallen Grand Trunk, as the now grimy GM is seen working in the yard in Truro this afternoon. This was the last CN Heritage Unit I hadn't shot in one way or another, so I can officially cross it off the bucket list...not that I overly cared. The crew of the recently reinstated afternoon shift 516 would go on to switch in the yard for the next hour or so before heading east on the Bedford Sub to switch a couple customers, once VIA 14 was east of town.

ST44-992 z pociągiem zdawczym TKPS 22481 z Kościerzyny do Gdyni Portu, mija Babi Dół - aktualnie przystanek osobowy, ale ślady na gruncie wskazują, że była to kiedyś stacja, lub co najmniej mijanka. 24 sierpnia 2002 roku.

Norfolk Southern C17 shoves a lengthy string of tankers into the yard at Mingo Terminal, located in Mingo Junction, OH. Adding as a backdrop is the now idled Mingo Junction Steel Works, also referred to as Steubenville South. This along with many other vacant industries scatter the embankments of the Ohio River and gives a sad site into the once mighty industrial economy which fueled this region.

This is taken in the local art market in Antibes. I tried many things with frames...however not satisfied. I will appreciate suggestions for the frames especially for this picture.
SP X3334E is a local out of SP's Anaheim Yard having left the yard using street running down West Santa Ana Street and the local is now almost at the end of street running on Olive Street in Anaheim, CA on January 23, 1979.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
Looking for some more fall color and covering what looks like the last year of MRL blue leading a train, the Bozeman Local slows for a rare meet in town

Union Pacific SD40-2 No. 3649 leads a 14-car LUC57 local through Leamington Canyon near Lynndyl, Utah on Sept. 30, 1993.
This is a re-edit of an image I took back in 2016. These two ladies were on the rooftop park in downtown KC. I was shooting around them minding my own business when they approached and asked for their picture to be taken. From that point on, I knew I had free range to snap away as I walked the perimeter of this little hidden gem of a park.
Hope you enjoy the re-edit.

BNSF's Galesburg to Barstow and return local has always been an good one to keep an eye on. On this particular day, the L-CHI823 returns to Galesburg through Orion, IL with BNSF 2324 (GP38-2), BNSF 1374 (GP7u), BNSF 1478 (GP15-1), BNSF 2926 (GP39E), and EMDX 771 (GP38-2).

CSX SW1500 1129 had a former Family Lines transfer caboose and a Winchester and Western hopper rolling through Carroll Interlocking in Baltimore.
Built for the Louisville and Nashville by EMD in 1972, the 1129 was looking good in the "classic" CSX YN2 paint. After CSX was finished with it, the old thing would wind up working for the Wisconsin Central and would finish up in Canadian National paint.

This is the partner of the hummingbird that I posted yesterday. I had fun sitting on the patio waiting for these guys to make their rounds and feed in my yard. Instead of coming to my lantana, they were feeding on the flowers in my neighbor's tree. I was really impressed with the way my new lens was able to reach out and capture these little guys. Looking forward to using it more in the future.
