Sunset up-light afterglow ~ Florida Everglades, U.S.A.
Summer 2016 ~ South Florida ~ Palm Beach County
*Every sunset is different, because every day; sun is different, clouds
are different, space is different, reflections are different....mountains
are different, fogs are different, and above all, we are different.*

Saw this while driving and had to get a quick snapshot. Don't tell my mom.
Turned out pretty well (sooc).
Year-round Metal Enjoyment: A New England Freight Train Experience (Official trailer)
A documentary about New England, vandalism, and an obsession with trains. Year-round Metal Enjoyment follows several freight train graffiti artists into a world of steel and spray while exploring the Northeast's many ties to the railroad earth. With over a year and a half of shooting (and rising), more than a dozen interviews from some of the area's most notorious artists, as well as workers and railfans, Mint Films gives an in-depth look into this obscure and elusive world.
In post-production.
Wood ducks look strange when they change from their pretty breeding colors into their drab summer (eclipse) colors. But this duck is stranger still. It has both male & female characteristics. Not a juvenile, they have dull olive color bills. Male traits here are that colorful bill that remains even in summer and the colorful head crest feathers. Female traits are the brown eye instead of red, the shape of the white outlining the eye and the lack of a white chin strap going up the neck. Males keep the red eyes and white chin strap even in the summer.

Having recently seen these things looking pretty horrible, it's good to remind us how it used to be. PRIDE is exemplified here, in the freshly painted SW1500 (1552) by the "Shops Yard" office, which itself has an awning with a Wisconsin Central shield outlined in gold. 'nuff said.
Artists Statement:
This painting captures a fleeting moment in early winter, where the landscape is transformed by the low, golden light that bathes the scene. The curving river bank, gently blanketed in snow, is outlined on the one side by trees whose tops glow with the warm hues of the rising sun. Painted in a high-key fashion, the work employs soft, coarse horizontal strokes for the water and a smoothness to evoke the feel of the flat white snowy fields, while the water—rich in greys, reds, and pale purples—reflects the cold light and the dark reflections of the trees, creating an interplay of warmth and chill.
The overall composition is designed to feel ephemeral, as the edges of the scene gradually fade into the surrounding whiteness of the snow, giving the viewer a sense of both the vastness and quiet intimacy of winter. The trees, though delicate in their soft brushwork, stand resilient against the cold, their glowing tops providing a gentle contrast to the more muted colours of the water and the snow.
In this piece, I sought to explore the subtle beauty of winter’s transitional moments, where the harshness of the season meets the fragile warmth of light. The interplay of colour and light, combined with the fading edges, speaks to the transient nature of time—how moments of clarity are often fleeting, but nonetheless beautiful in their impermanence.
Bit of a fail here. I got here too late and got stuck in a bog big time! This was the best I could get before abandoning ship. I will be back though as the colours here are incredible.
