I went up onto the moors this evening. The cloud had moved in and when I arrived I didnt think anything would happen. I waited around 15mins and nothing happening was about to leave when I noticed a gap in the clouds. For just less than 2 minutes the sun broke out and cast some nice light over the landscape.
So, I shot this with a 0.7nd Grad and sunset filter to enhance the colours. No HDR at all! 2 minutes later, I packed up and came home. Always wait a little longer just in case :)
About to land onto RWY 09 @ NWI in some dramatic light , This 7X has recently be re-sprayed into this nice matt paint....
Very warm again today, managed to sneak a walk in under the trees earlier in the day. Different faces of nature recorded!
Our cottage was the second to go onto our lake, my Father-in-Law built it in 1976 from reclaimed materials he collect over his career working for the school board maintenance dept. and seeing several demolished schools headed for the landfill he was green when it wasn’t cool.
This shot is off our floating dock looking back towards our waterline to the side of the property and this horizontal willow is one of many willows that dot our shoreline along with as many birch as the beaver will spare up and down the hillsides all planted in the early 80’s by Eryk when he was in his late 50’s-early 60’s.
Eryk was born a Szyszlo in the Polish Belarus area and immigrated to the Ottawa area after fighting in WWII with the Free Polish Army, he brought with him his love of these native trees replicating a little bit of Poland right in Renfrew County.
The cottage is our oasis and a much needed escape bubble probably a big part of keeping my sanity 2020, it is also a subject that I could capture in every season, all lighting conditions and be extraordinarily happy for the gorgeous model, it is a small blessing all thanks to those that came before us.
I took this on Sept 22, 2020 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30mm 2.8 Lens at 26mm 1/6 sec f/11 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

Georgia Central U23B 3965 and two other high hood U23Bs lead Y101 onto the Dry Branch and off the mainline in September of 2003. The Dry Branch lost it's operation in 2009 and no longer sees service. GC 3965 survives today at SARM in oak Ridge, Tennessee. This is a file I thought I'd run through newer software since I first posted a couple years ago. (Slide Scan)
Hydrangeas are one of my summer favourites. Most of them have gone over now, but this one was still fresh with beautiful pink colours.

Mouse locks onto an eerie crying sound coming from a tanglewood south of the pasture.
A second later she and Fidget sprinted to the fence and told the world about it.

Waves crashing onto stony beach between Killiney and Shankill, Dublin, Ireland. It was a windy day and near high tide.
“As the devil spoke
We spilled out onto the floor
And the pieces broke and
the people wanted more
And the rugged wheel is turning
another round
Dorian, carry on
Will you come along to the end ?
Will you ever let us carry on ?” ~Agnes Obel

Hurricane Dorian spared St Augustine, FL as it
churned up Florida’s east coast. The storm was
devastating for our neighbors in the
Bahamas, though. We pray for them...

A one off Sunday night working from Ashton-in-Makerfield Kelbits to Inverness propels onto the down slow of the WCML at Haydock Branch Junction. Hard to believe in this day and age with all its health and safety restrictions but under the instruction of the guard in radio contact with the driver it ran like this for three miles to Springs Branch. Upon arrival the 31 ran around and the guards van was detached before the overnight journey to Inverness.
Just couldn't resit this shot while walking along the riverbank. This chap looked so comfortable just lying there hanging onto a willow branch.
Much better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Two Chicago & North Western EMD SD40-2s and two Alco C628s try to pull a derailed coal gon back onto the rails in a snowstorm at the railroad’s Butler Yard in Wisconsin on January 4, 1986. I’m not sure if this was a train entering the yard that derailed, or if these units are just helping out in the rerailing process. Those C628s were pretty heavy on the rails, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were part of equation. Either way, I never found out how long it took them to rerail the car(s), as it was windy and cold,and I was soon outta there!
for those days when we feel vulnerable, perhaps even a bit fragile, all we can do is breathe through it and try to hold onto hope. the darkest night is followed by an inevitable dawn. spring follows even the hardest winter. from a tiny seedling, a mighty tree grows.

garder de l'espoir
pour les jours quand on se sent vulnerable, peut-être même fragile, tous ce qu'on peut faire est de respirer et de garder de l'espoir. la nuit la plus sombre est suivi par une éventuelle aube. le printemps suit même l'hiver le plus dûre qui soit. d'une petite graine pousse un arbre si fort.

Shoving onto the CSX James River line with 4 loads of wood chips. GP7 number 1 is former L&N while the RF&P 101 is Ex-RF&P 104, on lease from Old Dominion Chapter, NRHS. Interchange takes place two miles west of here at the small yard at Strathmore.
hooray, the end, onto better and bolder new things!
this 365 was admittedly a bit looser than the first, with a day missed here or there, and lots of latitude in posting in any sort of timely matter. i'm grateful to the 365: the 2013 edition or i'd have bailed entirely months ago.
some of us are going to do a 100x (the x being a theme of your choosing) in 2014 - less than a 365 but more than a 52. you should join us!
happy new year everyone! xoxo

I headed up onto The Roaches for sunset on Wednesday evening - I'm on a little mission these next few weeks to get some heather shots as I actually have very few in my portfolio as I always seem to be away on family holidays around this time of the year!
Well not this year!! I've been out doing sunrise & sunset the last 3 days or so making the most of it.
I like this shot, the setting sun was a real vibrant red casting some great light that wasn't to strong to hold back using filters.
Many thanks for all your previous comments far to many to thank individual :)

Just before sunrise on October 8, 2004, Union Pacific’s LJP45 local heads for the Sunnyside Branch at West Mounds, Utah. Rio Grande SD40T-2 Tunnel Motor No. 5371 erupts with smoke as it swings through the switches to the branch.

Illuminated by the sun
Watch its rays, dance and run
Sending the light of Summer blue
Through the trees and onto you
The Gannets at Bempton Cliffs now have nest building in full swing. That means they often come onto the cliff tops, close to the viewing platforms even when packed with people. It gives plenty of opportunities for close up shots, and to talk to visitors about these birds.
After clean up on the Hinkley Branch was completed , the Pan Am Waterville Wreck train headed west to rerail two propane cars that derailed in Biddeford on the Saco Industrial track. Photo taken Oakland, ME January 11, 2022
because our property backs onto a park, we have a lot of wildlife that wanders into our yard or burrows under our fence.
This shot is a first for me ( full manual mode at dusk). I normally shoot in aperture priority and lately thought about trying to shoot in full manual like many pro wildlife photographers recommend.
So tonight, about 30 minutes before sunset I went out into our yard and found this rabbit. I started at 800 iso, then 1600 iso and finished with 3200 iso.
Walking onto Black Rock Sands Beach at Morfa Bychan, Gwynedd, North Wales, on a late afternoon walk in January.
The sandy walkway has marram grasses both sides and goes straight onto the beautiful sandy beach.
Perfect beach very very clean, ideal for the stunning scenery and a fantastic walk.
Santa Fe train Q-LANY1-05 swings off KCT trackage at Sheffield Interlocking and onto home rails. It will fly over Rock Creek Junction in a moment on its way east to Chicago. Capacity improvements in the area have double tracked the flyover at Rock Creek Junction as well as creating a new double track flyover at Sheffield that takes to the sky where the switch is located under the third intermodal well behind the power.

Ich experimentiere immer noch mit dem Mischungsverhältnis von Kalium-Natriumtartrat und Natriumwolframat. Der Vorteil einer wärmeren Farbe durch den Zusatz von Wolframat wird erkauft durch die Notwendigkeit einer erheblich längeren Belichtungszeit, denn im Fixierbad hellt der Print ungewöhnlich stark auf. Ein lösbares Problem, sollte man meinen. Wenn aber ein Entwickler im Ergebnis derart stark von allen anderen abweicht, wird die Sache komplizierter, besonders für Anwender, die mit solchen Problemen überhaupt nicht rechnen, wenn sie von den bisher verwendeten Entwicklern auf diese Mischung umsteigen.
I am still experimenting with the mixing ratio of potassium sodium tartrate and sodium tungstate. The advantage of a warmer colour due to the addition of tungstate comes at the cost of a considerably longer exposure time, because the print brightens unusually strongly in the fixing bath. A solvable problem, one would think. But when the result of one developer differs so much from all the others, things become more complicated, especially for users who are not expecting such problems when they switch from the developers they have been using to this mixture.
Captured at Tintagel Castle, Cornwall the turquoise coloured sea crashing onto rocks below the steep cliffs of this rugged coastline.
Kayla landed back at her shelter. She was hot and exhausted. She took off her jacket and collapsed onto the familiar battered sofa.
Relief surged through her—she’d found the nest complex. The main key to completing her mission. A turning point. But dread clung to her.
She had watched as the unborn creatures rocked the eggs. There was no doubt they would start hatching soon. She had hours, maybe less.
The nest complex was massive. Too massive. She had only thirty Prometheus-9 charges—compact, potent and designed as a portable tactical weapon, but their impact range was limited. Not ideal for destroying a complex as vast as the nest. It was only high explosive left after the last war that nearly wiped out all life on Earth, the final scraps of humanity’s arsenal.
Her kin had carefully calculated the hatch timing but hadn’t anticipated the scale. Not even close. Perhaps they knew too well but had nothing more to offer and prayed she would improvise.
She had two options: obliterate every egg in some sort of fire storm or collapse the entire nest and entomb or crush them. There could be absolutely no survivors if she was to decisively end the reptiles.
“Think, Kayla,” she whispered, pressing her palms to her temples. She hadn’t come this far to fail.
It was then she caught a pungent odor she couldn’t place. “What is that”, she mumbled.
She rose, instinct prickling. The shelter had suffered more quakes while she was gone; dust and debris blanketed the floor. She followed the scent through fractured corridors, past shattered beams and cracked walls, until she reached the supply chamber.
The vault-like door of the chamber was tilted, its frame warped and separating from the rock. The smell was strongest here—acrid, organic.
She unbolted the door and with all her strength heaved it open. The stench hit her causing her to reel back. Reptilians! How?
The overhead light was dead. She grabbed a portable lamp and stepped inside.
She was stunned. Chaos. Rocks, debris, shelves overturned. Supplies scattered. But most of the supplies were missing.
Then—her breath caught.
At the far end of the room, half-hidden by rubble and dark, yawned a hole—a tunnel. Wide enough to walk through.
They’d found her shelter.
She rushed to the explosives cache. Her heart thudded like a drum.
Empty.
The Prometheus-9 charges were gone.
Her mission—her last hope—had been stolen. And her shelter was no longer safe.

We are back onto the train at Slinger, after setting out the observation car Lac Vieux Desert, named after a grand lake in Vilas County Wisconsin, along with general freight for the Wisconsin & Southern to pick up from the siding. Conductor Steve Kepplinger is taking care of the paperwork in the cozy cab while I snap a quick photo before we depart for Milwaukee on this frigid winter's afternoon.

Under the hazy gaze of the distant Cabinet Mountains, the Day Gas takes the junction switch onto MRL's 10th Sub. The joined-rail 10th Sub is the original Northern Pacific mainline, completed in 1883. Though since the completion of the cutoff through St Regis in 1909, the 10th has served as the alternate mainline between Paradise and Missoula although it still remains the normal routing for the gas locals.
