This morning I reprocessed this image at much higher resolution for an upcoming magazine publication. The original edit had been made on a tiny laptop monitor the night we shot that picture. It's a bit easier on my iMac at 27 inches... ;) As usual, if you have any question about the technique, join the conversation in my learning group fb.com/groups/ericpare

Shots of my trip to Canada October 2018.
On my first day and only day in Vancouver. It was raining off and on all day but wasn't very cold. I spent most of the day on the Hop On and Hop Off Bus.

The calmly flowing waters of a swollen Kickapoo Creek gently touch the concrete footings currently supporting the passage of this heavy, 131-car, southbound Union Pacific coal drag as its two, lead, AC six-axles ride their dynamic brakes, coasting downhill across a combination deck plate and lattice through truss bridge along the former C&NW "SI Line" outside Bartonville on a gloomy July morning. This train of loaded aluminum BethGons -- symbol CNAPW 14 -- are topped out with over 18,000 tons of Wyoming's finest black diamonds; Filled at Peabody's North Antelope Mine in the state's rich Powder River Basin, these hoppers have only a few short miles left to travel before reaching their destination at NRG Energy's Powerton Generating Station, near Pekin. The train will soon cross the Illinois River drawbridge and immediately make a right turn onto the IMRR and down into Crescent Yard for interchange where they'll tie down and the loads will wait for an Illinois & Midland crew to spot the cars at the plant for final dumping. Slated for decommission come the end of 2028 due to the country's relentless insistence on "cleaner" energy alternatives, Powerton is the sole remaining, actively burning coal-fired power plant to still remain standing in the greater Peoria area, outliving the facilities at Havana, Hennepin and Canton's Duck Creek (2019), and eventually the E.D. Edwards Station at Bartonville (2022). Once closed, it'll be another major hit in activity levels for a route that is already down in traffic. Twice weekly scheduled manifest service between Peoria and Clinton, IA, as needed coal, grain and ethanol unit traffic, and seasonal ballast trains are pretty much the bulk of what traverses this line.
For southbounds, this is the final, and most dramatic, crossing atop a snaky Kickapoo Creek which twists and turns beneath the rails of the Peoria Subdivision in six different locations within just about a short, two mile stretch of track. Just about a half mile back from this bridge, the train is still working through the CTC controlled interlocking at "Peoria JCT" where the Peoria Sub main to South Pekin splits from UP's "Low Line," which routes trains for Peoria area interchange into and out of their small Adams St. Yard just a short distance away on the city's southwest side. The single-tracked Peoria Subdivision, which runs south out of Nelson away from the busy Geneva Sub, uses a combination of CTC, TWC and ABS infrastructure to route what little traffic runs down this line and is also the only class 1 of four that has a "through route" through the city. A line that does not get much attention from photographers, an older "winged" EMD SD70ACe on the point of a well timed coal load just was enough for me to grab the camera and quickly pick it off at this very seldom shot location.
I sure could do without that walkway.
Dome of Sound in Styria, Austria at sunset under an autumnal sky. The Dome is a landscape and sound sculpture created by local artists in Pischelsdorf and was installed in the year 2011. Lee 0,9 softgrad and Lee Big Stopper.
The rays are actually clouds lit by the setting sun on the left that were moving towards me. By using a Lee Big Stopper and an exposure of 4 minutes they changed into rays. I also have a version with the clouds not moving, but i like this version a tad more.
Another from a good handful of shots I got from Skipwith Common. This was taken at the 'peak' of the sunrise. I didn't touch the saturation or vibrance slider by the way!

Acorns, the nut of the oak tree, has been a staple of California Indian diet for more than 4,000 years, and for many groups, the most important plant food. Native Californians harvested 10 or more species of acorns, with the tanbark oak, black oak, blue oak, and valley oak being preferred species. Acorns are extremely nutritious, containing up to 18 percent fat, 6 percent protein, and 68 percent carbohydrate as well as vitamins A and C and many amino acids.
.... the Rock cries out to us......
Come, you may stand upon my
Back and face your distant destiny,
But seek no haven in my shadow.
I will give you no hiding place down here.

This image captures the iconic modern skyline of London, dominated by The Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe. The dramatic sky in the background enhances the futuristic architecture of the buildings. On the left, the distinctive, egg-shaped London City Hall seamlessly blends into the surroundings. The River Thames adds a calm, reflective quality to the scene, while the green trees provide a touch of nature amidst the urban landscape.

I heightened the color to make the reflection clearer. I think Monsieur Klee might have enjoyed my little tiptoe into his brilliant realm.. One of the greatest artists who ever lived.
One of our favorite places to visit is the McAdam Railway Station in New Brunswick, Canada. The station is no longer operating but it is an active railway line. They are in the process of restoring this beautiful stone building and tours are given in the summer. Sundays are very popular as they serve a pies in the afternoon as they once did a hundred years ago.

My plan for the morning was to hike a portion of the Cedar Run trail, starting at the lower trailhead. My route passed around the Old Rag Mountain, and I watched the morning light illuminating its cliffs at the top. Finally, I noticed a warm light hitting the rocks, and pulled over from the road to take a better look of this beautiful scene. So there I stood, At the Foothill of the Old Rag.
This arched facade is all that remains of this ancient Roman theater and are the only remains of any theater from ancient Rome. As can bee seen, a large apartment complex occupies where the seating and stage would have been located. The three columns are what remains of a Temple to Apollo. More details below. Perhaps a stroke around this photo would be in order.
The Theatre of Marcellus (Teatro di Marcello) is an ancient open-air theatre built in the closing years of the Roman Republic. At the theatre, locals and visitors alike were able to watch performances of drama and song.. Space for the theatre was cleared by Julius Caesar, who was murdered before its construction could begin; the theatre was advanced enough by 17 BC that part of the celebration of the ludi saeculares took place within the theatre; it was completed in 13 BC and formally inaugurated in 12 BC by Augustus, named after his nephew Marcus Claudius Marcellus who had died in 23 BC.
The theatre was 111 m in diameter and was the largest and most important theatre in Ancient Rome; it could originally hold between 11,000 and 20,000 spectators. It was an impressive example of what was to become one of the most pervasive urban architectural forms of the Roman world. The theatre was built mainly of tuff, and concrete faced with stones in the pattern known as opus reticulatum, completely sheathed in white travertine. However, it is also the earliest dateable building in Rome to make use of fired Roman brick, then a new introduction from the Greek world.
It is believed that Corinthian columns were used for the upper level but this is uncertain as the theatre was reconstructed in the Middle Ages, removing the top tier of seating and the columns. Like other Roman theatres in suitable locations, it had openings through which the natural setting could be seen, in this case the Tiber Island to the southwest.
The theatre fell out of use in the early 4th century and the structure served as a quarry, e.g., for the Pons Cestius in 370 AD. Iin the 16th century, the residence of the Orsini, designed by Baldassare Peruzzi, was built atop the ruins of the ancient theatre. Now the upper floors are divided into multiple apartments.
The Temple of Apollo Sosianus (previously known as the Apollinar and the temple of Apollo Medicus) is a Roman temple dedicated to Apollo in the Campus Martius, next to the Theatre of Marcellus and the Porticus Octaviae, in Rome, Italy. Its present name derives from that of its final rebuilder, Gaius Sosius.
The three columns of the temple which survive to full-height today belong to the Augustan rebuild, but the cult of Apollo had existed in this area since at least to the mid-5th century BC.
A radical reconstruction was begun by Gaius Sosius, probably just after his triumph in 34 BC. These building-works were themselves soon interrupted by the civil war between Octavian and Antony (with Sosius taking Antony's side), and only resumed some years later when Augustus was reconciled with Sosius.

"It is as if I had been going downhill while I imagined I was going up. And that is really what it was. I was going up in public opinion, but to the same extent life was ebbing away from me. And now it is all done and there is only death." Tolstoy, Death of Ivan Ilyich

Collaboration
In 1981 my father made this awesome and slightly weird drawing.
Part of it is this little bird you see standing next to me!
My grandfather was a great painter, my father was and I couldn't draw even if my life depended on it ;)
So I always felt slightly sad about the fact my father died before I got into photography.
Now I finally found my passion, an art form I can express myself in and he never saw any of it.
But yesterday I thought of this...
a Collaboration between my dad's and my art!
So I did my very best to do his work justice!
It was cold and sunny in the forest.
Just perfect!

Jupiter is just setting to the right. The Big Dipper is at far right to the northwest.
The last vestiges of twilight light the horizon to the north at far left and right. Bands of green airglow invisible to the eye but obvious to the camera cross the sky from west to east, and to the east some of the airglow appears red. There is no aurora visible here.

IN the city of Ballarat by the end of September, nearly a 1000 miners were digging for gold on the Ballarat field - By 1853, there were more than 20,000 miners of many nationalities working on the field.
In that same year, 10,000,000 grams of gold were transported under police escort to the Melbourne Treasury. Probably as much again was never recorded but sold secretly and illegally. Over the next four (4) years, more than 77,700,000 grams reached Melbourne under escort. On June 10th 1858, the great Welcome Nugget was found. It weighed 68,956 grams and contained an estimated 68,272 grams of pure gold.
Ballarat's last mine closed down in 1918. The total recorded yield from the Ballarat Goldfield amounted to 20,592,000 Troy ounces (Ballarat Historical Society Publication No. 1) and based on a gold price of $A500 per ounce the total value would be around $10,000,000,000. A remarkable figure when it is realised that a large amount of the gold discovered in the district was never recorded.
Ballarat was the scene of Australia's most famous civic insurrection. On 3 December 1854 at Eureka, miners clashed with police and detachments of the 12th and 40th regiments. In all, 28 men were killed and a large number wounded.
Ballarat was proclaimed a township in 1852, created a municipality in 1855, a borough in 1863, and was proclaimed a City on 9 September 1870.
Note: 31.1034 grams = 1 ounce
1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams
After the success of IDS-Brickworld we are glad to present this group layout created in collaboration with nine Brickz Lab members.
It took us about half a year to plan and build the MOC. In the process we went from quick sketches to a 3D model which we then recreated in LEGO parts.
The layout is based on the planet Batuu in Star Wars Lore and the Galaxy\'s Edge section in the Disney parks. We tried to translate as many recognizable features from the original reference into LEGO as we could but also left space for our own interpretation of what it should look like.
Noticeable details are the Rock Spires as well as the rounded buildings.
The MOC shows the occupation of the city by the Galactic Empire in it\'s early days just shortly after the events of Revenge Of The Sith. As such we thought it might be fitting to add an A5 Juggernaut to the build as well as vehicles like BARC-speeders and Infantry Support Platforms in gray colour scheme. Find out more about the story HERE
Big thanks to every participant, everyone who gave us feedback while the build was in progress and to all the helpers at the convention who made this collaboration possible.

The World Heritage Rock Art Centre - Alta Museum (Verdensarvsenter for bergkunst – Alta Museum) is located at Alta in Finnmark, Norway.
World Heritage Rock Art - Alta Museum is situated in Hjemmeluft, a small bay in the Altafjord at a site of early settlement of Finnmark dating from around 11,000 years ago. In 1973, the first rock carvings in Hjemmeluft were found. To date over 3,000 figures have been registered here. In the municipality as a whole over 6000 figures have been registered.
The museum opened in June 1991 and won the European Museum of the Year Award in 1993. Alta Museum is northern Norway's most-visited summer museum, with more than 1,000 visitors each day. It is the second most visited attraction in Finnmark County. It presents exhibitions on local culture and historic industries including the nearby prehistoric rock carvings that form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Alta is a town on Norway’s northern coast, at the head of Alta Fjord. It’s known for views of the Northern Lights, which inspired the cascading architecture of the Northern Lights Cathedral, built in 2013. Thousands of prehistoric rock carvings are at nearby Hjemmeluft Bay, where there are viewing paths and the World Heritage Rock Art Centre. South of town, the Alta River runs through steep Alta Canyon.
The town is located on the southern end of Altafjorden at the mouth of the river Altaelva. The famous rock carvings at Alta lie just to the west of the town.
Alta is considered the northernmost city in the world with a population surpassing 10,000.
The municipality of Alten-Talvig was established on 1 January 1838. (Wikipedia)
The constant battle of the photographer and the waves. Trying to catch just the right motions, without getting wet, is really just foolish. I think if I had any advice for a new seascape photographer, it would be, expect to get wet, use a ten stop filter, and just play with different shutter speeds until you're consistently getting something that you like, and don't get your $5,000 camera wet with sea water. Because salt water and electronics ... well they just don't mix. I was shooting an XT1 next to a rock once in San Diego and took the equivalent of a bucket of sea water on the camera. It still worked fine, weather sealed, but over time things began sticking. Doesn't matter the camera, sea water is eventual death. It will also probably kill your tripod. The price we pay I suppose.
I like this shot because I was alone this night. No one else there. Such a beautiful place, and wonderful soft light to be alone. I fully expected the usual hordes. No one. Not sure why, don't care, it was relaxing to not have to worry about being in anyone's way and not have to stake out my spot. I think I love freedom in general, so when expecting to be bogged down, it's nice to have wings and be able to flutter a bit.
This was a super rare chance to see the original deco-esque paintings that Crowley created with artist Harris reflected his own dark weird take on the deck based around his self created magick religion Thoth. The kind of work you would never expect to see in Venice which is what made it so inspiring.
