FIMX 4023 slowly trundles through the fog covered town of Ozone, TN with the mineral train bound for the NS at Rockwood. After several long months of bare, colorless trees, signs of spring have [thankfully] started to grow along the former Tennessee Central.
This second montage shows the perceived transition in the moon's appearance from totality through to a late Penumbral (recession) phase during the eclipse.
I have deliberately made the third totality image a little bigger as it represents approximately mid total eclipse and the moon was showing a beautiful bright copper colour.
A bluish colour is evident just after totality as it was, just before totality, in the previous montage. This is due to ozone in earth's atmosphere scattering the red component of white light more than the blue.
Ozone Park (Queens) took its name from the idea of refreshing breezes from the ocean, and the belief at that time that ozone was good for you. (Wikipedia)
You think you can destroy the planet? What intoxicating vanity. The Earth is ancient—four and a half billion years old. Life has persisted here for nearly as long, through cataclysms you can scarcely imagine: continents drifting, mountains rising and falling, comets slamming into oceans, entire species rising and vanishing in the blink of a geological eye. And yet, life endures. You fret over radiation, thinning ozone, or rising temperatures, but even if we poisoned every corner of this world, life would survive—deep underground, frozen in ice, waiting for its time to flourish again.
We see ourselves as gods, wielding the power to shape or destroy, yet we’ve been here for the briefest moment, blind to the Earth’s slow, relentless rhythms. A hundred years? A million? It means nothing to the planet. You say the Earth is in jeopardy? No—it is humanity that’s in jeopardy. The Earth does not need us, and it will not miss us if we’re gone. Our challenge is not to save the Earth—it is to save ourselves.

Ricketts Glen, Pennsylvania
Rain and overcast is a strong draw for Ricketts Glen. It is a chance to shoot scenes like this, an overhanging grotto and fast flowing water that can't be captured with detail in a single shot on a bright day. I would complete the loop trail up Ganoga Glen in darkness, losing the trail at the top and fumbling around awhile. But here in Glen Leigh, the prettiest of the falls kept me awhile too long, lost in the ozone.
Six vertical images were stitched in Photoshop to produce the panorama.
January is the season for beach sports. If you love the bay, flotillas of yachts of all sizes can be seen racing or just lazily sailing. Motor boats are common as well.
The beaches are often full but there are so many kilometres that there is a good chance you can get a spot for your sun tent or cabana.
Sunscreen is an absolute must especially as the intense sun burns quickly at this time of year. Australians and New Zealanders have a higher rate of skin cancers and I certainly remember the time before good sunscreen, where I smelled like salad dressing in order to capture a tan. At that stage we didn't know about the hole in the Ozone layer from CFC's in our refrigeration but we will be suffering from the effects for the next decades.

It is really hard to get a photo with Ozone at some functions because he is always the person who is carrying the camera, walking around and taking photos for others. :PPP
Today is the "International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone" and the inspiration for this shoot came from this event.
Ozone Falls - Cumberland County, Tennessee

The Ozone Hotel, formerly known as Baillieu House, was built in 1881 for James George Baillieu It was designed by Melbourne architect William J. Ellis and constructed by Thomas Dally. The hotel is a large and grand two storeyed stuccoed brick building that has had two major wings added to it during the early 1880s. The building features an expansive two storeyed cast iron verandah and balcony, and a four storeyed tower.
The low water levels allowed me to capture this set of falls, one of the highest in the park, and the tallest of the Glen Leigh Falls, from a unique, low perspective. It's a 60 foot drop in the distance and several dozen feet below that where I hovered above this cascade. The unseasonably warm weather in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States has delayed the peak autumn color change. Before today this region has had very little rainfall, so the falls are not roaring at their full grandeur, but I was quite pleased with what I was able to capture.
The head end of the Lhoist road train has just passed over Ozone East Trestle & is seen on the fill that was actually built to fill in the rest of the trestle that the rest of the train is crossing. One of the things the Tennessee Central was known for, especially on the eastern half of the line, was the many trestles that it built in its effort to build a direct route between Nashville & Knoxville. These many trestles are the main reason for NS finally forcing what was then Franklin Industrial Minerals to buy the line from the plant to Rockwood due to the high cost of highing to maintain it for only one customer. Lhoist, who later bought out Franklin, has since taken on the task of having to maintain & improve the line, with this fill being evidence of what these companies will do to keep maintenance cost down. 11-4-20

EXPLORE July 2018
Drinking cappuccino at Ozone, just around the corner from my charity's office.
A nice ambience here, all minimal, stripped-back wood, steel and glass, soft daylight pouring through large frosted windows. Coffee a tad expensive (it is central London) but fresh and lovingly made with great taste.
Shoreditch, London.
Cumberland County. Just like Piney Falls we have been to Ozone tons of times but I never liked any of the shots. I was able to get a few shots I liked this go around.
