Oh no! Not again!
Last Year's Christmas Party 2021!
I'd like to thanks these four guys from coming ot the party.
and finally Hunter Kinsley.
This winter wonderland scene I captured here was stumbled upon by accident due to an early morning mishap while programing my destination during 4:30am departure from the Little America in Flagstaff. Our original plans were Monument Valley for a morning shoot and Antelope Canyon in the afternoon but I somehow entered in Canyon de Chelly which wouldn’t have been so bad except after driving there it was closed for Boxing Day. With no way to make Monument Valley we just continued on to Page for our Antelope Valley afternoon tour in doing so we crossed the Hopi Reservation which leads us to this view as well as a good lesson to double check destinations on your navigation tools. .
I took this on Dec 26th, 2019 with my D750 and Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 Lens at 70mm, 1/100s, f16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia ,and DXO Nik

LA&L 428 & 433 start into the ess curves at Pole Bridge Road in Avon, NY with 25 cars on December 18, 2020. I don't know what happened with my camera, but I blasted off about 20 frames as they rolled through the curves in killer light. For some reason the only image on my SD card was this one, the first shot. I don't know where the rest went. Too bad because they were looking great as they got closer, and had a nice cloud of snow rising off the cars.
One more day to go - Engine Room opens tomorrow!
Meanwhile, here's one determined firefly and the mad scientist it decided to inconvenience.

In the woodpecker world it's the male's that have that extra flash of red on their crown or moustache.

If you've ever riden a young horse that's just under saddle then you may relate to this one.
Sometimes just about anything can cause these youngsters to lose it, and eat your lunch.
And just when you think it won't happen to you, It will. lol
A night of mishaps and successes, firstly Matt and I set off for a good location in the woods, but we couldn't remember how to get there. Then we decided to go to the underground fuel bunkers, but the fence has been reinforced and no way to get in. Luckily Matt found a good spot but it got a bit cold and windy so we braved it out and Matt got a shot.The we found this spot by the lake and I knocked out a rotation.

This wish will of course be fulfilled immediately!
Rio Grande SD9s No. 5309, 5311, and SD7 No. 5304 await assignment at Roper Yard in South Salt Lake, Utah the afternoon of Jan. 14, 1977. It appears 5311's front coupler experienced an mishap at some point.
Today we safely arrived to our new home, after almost one week on the roads. Our old scooters was struggling but stubborn, without any big mishaps. By the way........ "New home" ? The only thing I can say is, that my granddads' brother was one big compulsive liar ! We thought he owned a Manor, which he bragged about every time we were in contact. Now I know why he always was busy or out of town, when we wanted to visit him. Well, he was odd...... but this is weird.
We arrived very early this morning, it is still dark. So we haven´t been able to make a proper look yet. But this is a hovel, and the garden is a scrap yard. But though we can´t return, we have to deal with it. So we broke in...... and after a primitive meal (some eggs and bacon) we laughed for a while and said :
- "It has to go. We have to try at least !"
Thank God I have Stella. Not everybody would take this situation like she did, and I probably should quail! Now we try to sleep a couple of hours on the old pallet sofa, and do a proper inspection of our heritage tomorrow in daylight.
Good night...... or rather morning !

It has to go (Det måste gå)
The road ends, at the mountain top.
This early morning, before the sun goes up.
The day is waiting, feels like time stand still.
Come give me strength, come give me courage.
It has to go
It has to go
The will is there, to try at least!
The sun rises slowly, and heats the soil
which needs all the heat, and a future trust.
Within me, many questions remain
who is burning of longing, after answers.
It has to go
It has to go
The will is there, to try at least!
La la la la .........
The will is there to try, try at least
Just gotta go
it just has to go
The will is there to try, try at least
just have to go
la la la la .......
It has to go
It has to go
A good provider and he always stays to watch that it goes down the hatch because sometimes the new baby will lose the meal provided. Unfortunately, the loons at my lake weren't successful with their hatch. I found the egg abandoned, leaking and punctured by 4 sharp teeth. So I drove two hours to another lake hoping to see loonlets. The wind and waves were crazy but I didn't let that stop me. When I paddled up to the far side of the lake I could hear the loons screaming. A fisherman was casting his line at the family without a care. He saw me coming (lucky for him or I would have chewed him a new one) and left. Situation thwarted the family was at peace once again until the next mishap. I hope to see them in another 2 or 3 weeks, preferably in calm waters at sunset. The babies are the cutest at 1-4 days old.
*Side note*
The Oilers won (what a game) and it finally rained. Things are looking up.
I was not quite quick enough 'on the draw' - sometimes I like to post my mishaps.
I think there is a good dof for the post but not really what I was aiming for!
I had a major mishap while developing this film. I was distracted, talking to my wife and grandson, and accidentally poured the stop bath in first. I immediately tipped it out, rinsed, and then put in the developer. I didn't think I'd get any pics but surprising some were not too bad. The negs were dark but the scanner managed to pick up most of the images. Some shots were totally wasted and some, like this one, came out with a grainy but atmospheric look about them.

A westbound Milwaukee Road train is seen coming into the yard in Butte, MT. If you look behind the motors and beyond the building you can see this train clearly ran into a bit of a mishap. It appears the train has derailed! Out of the 35 or so negatives I have from this photographer from this day, none show the wreck in any greater detail unfortunately. Pulling the train is consecutively numbered EF-4 Little Joes numbered E-73 and E-72 as well as GP9 number 316. Prior to the SD40 invasion of 1973, it was a lot more common for lashups to be more electric heavy.

Class 58 58007 derailed near Fenny Compton late 1980's or early 1990's'. 58007 was on an MGR working from Nottinghamshire to the Didcot Power Station. Unforttunately I cannot find any information in the railway press conconerning this incident.;

After my disastrous mishap at Garsdale a few days prior of the same pairing with a similar snowplouigh move, I was relieved to capture it again tonight. Here is 47832 & 57601 making a brief crew change at Preston with two independent snowploughs bound for Fairwater having been maintained and stored at Eastriggs M.O.D.
The fog was extremely thick here so it's taken a lot of work to bring some contrast back, hence the somewhat washed appearance.
The morning of January 7th, 2005 one of the SD40-2s from Wisconsin & Southern train HJ, which had just arrived in town from Horicon, is working at Milton Junction, Wisconsin.
Sometime during the night, it looks like a little mishap occurred near the corner of Elm Street and Golden Lane over on the siding of a grain elevator. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
