was able to see this guy from my front yard today. bald eagle fly by. shooting at 1/800th and that is not quite enough. Just saying.
Luuk Heis asked if this is possible...well I liked the way it sounded but it is based on the fact that I think that globally you can go local as in locovores who try to eat local produce. And thanks to people like Barbara Kingsolver the idea is catching on more and more..We eat at restaurants that try to use local produce..less energy costs in terms of transporting the items...not produced by AgriBusiness but local family farmers...more organic,less pesticides,less antibiotics in the chickens etc.
Actually, tastes better...

Ransuil - Long-Eared Owl (Asio otus).
Chance encounter in the local city park - making two new friends. (-;
I'm not sure what train this is but I saw the same power doing the same thing two days in a row so I suspect it's a local transfer job of some sort. At any rate, this pair of UP Deuces is heading north out of Fort Worth and soon to go over the Trinity River. 5/18/18
FEC train 915 lifts six empty gondolas from the Matco Industries transload in Cocoa, FL. The power for today's train, SD40-2 716, is unusal as this job usually rates a single GP40-2.
These gondolas are loaded with aggregate down in Medley, FL and ride north on the head end of train 336 overnight. Once in City Point, 915 will snag these cars and swap emtpties for loads a short distance south here in Cocoa. 915 will then return the empties to City Point where they will ride the tail end of 335 back to Medley to repeat the cycle.
On this day, the 915 crew used 716, which was the trailing motor on 336. After completing their moves here and working Titusville, they would make a run north to New Symrna Beach and swap 716 for 714. 714 would then come back south and take 716's place in the trailing position for that night's 335.
Had a walk from Beamish through woodlands and a little open country back home.
(might as well take my camera)
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.

I’ve always loved the film Local Hero, it has all the right ingredients for me. My love of Scotland, the gentle storyline, the dry quaint comedy, the magic moments and Mark Knopfler’s music (until the Mags hijacked the signature tune). So while staying in Glenfinnan when a local told me they filmed some of it on the beaches up passed Arisaig I needed no other excuse than to take a drive up there and have a look around. With Carla and the dogs stuck in the car as she didn’t like the look of big bulls in the adjacent field I had a little wander round this little bay with its view’s across to Eigg, Rum and Skye. A bit too bright for the photography I like, I still took a few snaps. Just before leaving I saw this old cobble now left to decay on the grass. It’s days of work and adventure now over it sit’s quietly weathering surrounded by such beauty. The first part I can relate to and I wish for the second.
A beautiful fall day in 2021 finds a pair of former BN SD40-2's, NCRC 8132 and 8123, northbound with the Nebraska Central Ord Local near South Saunders. South Saunders is the station name that was given to the ethanol plant a few miles south of Ord, Nebraska.

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.
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.
Lautoka No.19 - built by Hudswell Clarke in 1914. It worked at Fiji's sugar mills until 1960 and returned to the UK in 2012.

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.

These beetle larvae are so tiny, but easy to spot thanks to their rainbow-like iridescent shine.. I always look for them each March on Salt Myrtle bushes (common local name for Groundselbush) which is their host plant!
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.
