Dreimal in der Woche wird die Elbmarschbahn Winsen Süd-Niedermarschacht befahren, um die Chemische Fabrik Bruno Bock am Streckenende in Niedermarschacht mit chemischen Produkten zu versorgen.
Am Morgen des 18.02.2019 bespannte die Maschener Berglok 296 047 diesen Einzelwagenzug ER 53465 Maschen Rbf-Niedermarschacht. Am Empfangsgebäude des ehemaligen Bahnhofs Mover konnte diese Fahrt vom Deich des Ilmenau-Kanals fotografiert werden; Rund 70 Minuten Verspätung sorgten an dieser Stelle für das nötige Seitenlicht.
I’m sure you can tell, can you? It was very exciting on the day one of our trip. GM’s Renaissance Center is a magnificent structure that is impossible not to notice in downtown Detroit. My mind was going in to overdrive just thinking about the angles from where I can capture it. This was the first location from where I was able to frame it with the very interesting, single track encircling transportation services called “People mover”. What do you think?
The People Mover aka Tommorowland Transit Authority.
Not an easy shot to master. The track will move fast and slow at different times in the ride and about every 10 ft or so it seems to jump in the tracks.

Following this little Black and White Warbler around with my camera was quite a challenge. He (I think) was behaving more like a Nuthatch - going off in all directions up and down the trees, around the branches, upside down, and right side up. Fast mover is an understatement. As usual when I try for bird photos, I get lots of empty branches - but not this one.
It's a glorious spring morning at Davis Junction, as the IC&E 6416 west, shakes up the dust a little bit and putting on a fine show.

During my visit this year (Oct 2019), earth movers were busily working on new water impoundments along the Kern River Flood Canal just west of the Tule Elk State Natural Reserve near Tupman, California. The Kern River is usual dry with most of the water taken out of it updstream except in wet years that have high amounts of spring run off. The impounds at the end of the river along the flood canal allow for water storage during these wet years and, according to a geologist I talked to, needed groundwater recharge. The sizes of the equipment working on the project were impressive.
Have you ever wondered how to move the world? Fear not! A new team has formed! The Mighty Movers have united to take on the challenge!

"Cantar, é mover o dom
do fundo de uma paixão
Seduzir, as pedras, catedrais, coração
Amar, é perder o tom
nas comas da ilusão
Revelar, todo o sentido
Vou andar, vou voar, pra ver o mundo
Nem que eu bebesse o mar
Encheria o que eu tenho de fundo"

Tentei mais uma vez, mas não resisti e coloquei uma florzinha, tenho a impressão de que nunca mais nesta vida vou conseguir deixar as unhas sem desenhos. O que fazer???
Mas adorei...rs.
We spent some time downtown to work with lights and motion. As we waited for the people mover to pass this couple came up to ask what was going on. So I enlisted them as models under the light to add a human element and a bit of mystery to the shot. We all had a good laugh over it.

My girl moved away
Can't help but think it's something that I say that
Makes her flee my loving arms and smiling face
And moves to a place where nobody even lovingly says her name
A little different than my more recent posts, isn't it? After some discussion with a Facebook friend who posted images of a Eurofighter Typhoon from an airshow in Northern Ireland yesterday, it occurred to me that I hadn't posted this image from earlier this year at the airshow from Langley AFB in Virginia... there was a reason why. This Hornet was flying by so fast and so close that I clipped its nose in the original image... "Rats!" No such luck for a retake, so I combined two images in Photoshop. Sounds easy, right? The angles and lighting were different throughout the series of images, however, so it took a bit of work... of which I will not bore you with the details.
I grew up in a military environment, closely connected to aviation, particularly fast movers like this one. Back in that day, it wasn't unusual to hear the occasional explosive sonic boom... we called it the "Sound of Freedom". Times are different now, though there are some places where it still occurs... for a reason. There's a corridor where my parents once lived (and where my oldest brother now lives) where F-15 Eagles that have undergone repairs and upgrades at Robins AFB in Georgia transition to supersonic speeds and high Gs to make sure parts don't fall off. You can see a tiny arrowhead shape in the upper atmosphere, likely around 8 miles up, moving much faster than commercial aircraft... then you'll notice a puff of vapor around it. As it is with thunder and lightning, depending on how far away it actually is, you'll feel the shock wave as it moved into supersonic speeds seconds later, which is impressive on its own... but the sonic boom afterwards sounds like 10 sticks of dynamite going off, even from so far away. I brought a girlfriend on a visit to my parents many years ago. The whole family was there and we had all just sat down to breakfast when a shock wave occurred that rattled everything in the house... we knew the boom was coming, but acted like nothing had happened. My friend was already wide-eyed with concern to the shock wave, but when we didn't react to the sonic boom, she said, "Am I the only one who heard that?" Our response: "Heard what?" Wish I could have filmed that!
This aircraft is real close to punching through the speed of sound here, in a condition known as transonic... two specific shock waves are made evident in the vapor. Here's the text I used on a previous image of this same aircraft: This is a U.S. Navy F/A-18C Hornet, flown by Lt Scott Lindahl, callsign "MacGruber", with Strike Fighter Squadron 106 (VFA-106) out of Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia. A Hornet looks fast even when it's parked on the ramp... here, MacGruber is pushing it at just under the speed of sound, Mach .96 at sea level, or 730 mph. The jet is condensing the vapor in the air around it by decreasing the air pressure and density along some of its structure at this high speed.
That Mach number isn't consistent along the Hornet's curves... some of the curved parts force the air moving over them to supersonic speed, while linear parts are still subsonic, creating a condition known as transonic... transonic speeds form troughs of lower pressure than the ambient air along the airframe. The rapid pressure change also lowers the temperature around the aircraft enough to reach the dew point... instant clouds on a humid morning such as this. That's the scientific explanation, but here, I'm just as happy that it's making it appear to be doing what it actually is in a still shot... moving fast! Try tracking that in any viewfinder... blink and you've missed it.
I'm former Air Force, and had spent some quality time right here at Langley AFB, in Hampton, Virginia... it was a great show here highlighting airpower at its best, but it was also nice to show my wife some good stompin' grounds from the past. I can't close this without a big thank you to Lt Lindahl for his service in troubled times.
This is London, right?
I'm embarrassed to say I can't quite remember. I processed and edited this photo as part of a bigger trip. I'm too lazy to check the EXIF and cross-reference the dates... even though that would have taken less time than writing this sentence. But, instead, I'm saying it like this to let you know that sometimes my memory fades a bit. Some spots I remember perfect perfect perfect perfect... and others fade away and drift into others. I'm not sure why memory works like this... why there are some things that are perfect and some that are fuzzy. The way that memory works in this incomplete way is interesting to me.
