Today I dug deep in the camera bag and found my old but excellent 24mm f2.8 lens, hooked up the Eos1DX a fresh battery for the cold conditions and headed out for some different pictures.
Snowshoeing through these woods on a cool (-14 C) morning with not a breath of wind, no sounds other than our own, and not another soul nearby, definitely gives one a bit of perspective on your significance in the grand scheme of things.

Coast line, ship, Sydney. Our cruise ship was just ahead of this one. It wasn't race, but if it would have been .. winning. Entrance to the waterway from Tasman Sea into Sydney Harbour.
Count down 7 days before coming down with covid. thanks Princess Cruises. And thanks for having me pay $1500 out of pocket for medication for a condition we picked up on your ship because of your careless attitude.
Taken at the Tate Modern, this is my first true composite (comprised of my own images) so any feedback would be very welcome. I've had a shot like this in mind for a while but I've yet to find a suitable window, so for the moment, faking it will have to do.
I apologise that I'm a bit inactive on Flickr at the moment, I do post more on Instagram (_benlockett) as I use Flickr as something of a portfolio so I only like to post my better images here. I'm also swimming in uni work which doesn't exactly help, so come summer I'll be more active:)

I once heard it said that, "With age comes perspective." That is so true.
Regarding the railroad, I would like to take some creative license and modify this wise proverb to state, "With seniority comes perspective. "
When the word " seniority" is mentioned on the railroad, it generally applies to the number of jobs and the quality of jobs that an employee can work due to their date of hire. Just one day on the seniority roster can mean the difference between an employee holding days or nights, choice of rest days, etc.
In my opinion, seniority is an invaluable asset for an employer as well. With it comes experience, insight, and knowledge acquired by an employee performing a job day by day, year after year.
Ask any railroader and they will say the same. The art of railroading is something that cannot be learned from a book. Each day on the locomotive, in the tower, in the shops, or out in the yard is like a day in the classroom, an education.
Every day is unique. As an engineer, each train handles differently as no two trains are the same. As a conductor, no two switch lists are the same or performed under the same conditions. The same applies to every craft of the railroad, including MofW, C&S, Mechanical, Dispatching, etc.
In March of this year, I celebrated 30 years of service. Three decades at the throttle working for two Class One carriers, Conrail and Norfolk Southern. It is hard for me to believe that time has passed by so quickly.
Much has changed on the rails since I hired in 1994. Some change for the better, a larger portion for the worse. As technology increases, change is expected and inevitable. From my experiences on the railroad, it has not been favorable for the crews in T&E.
That being said, I could allow PSR, the constant electronic monitoring, and daily incompetence to taint my perspective on my beloved job. But I refuse. I will not allow them to infect the joy I get from running a locomotive.
God blessed me with the opportunity to live out a childhood dream by working on the railroad as a locomotive engineer. While my job has changed considerably, I still climb up on a locomotive and cross the Division at a mile per minute. Wind in my hair and hand on the horn!
My final two years of running trains will be upon me before I realize. I plan on savoring my time at the throttle on every trip, smiling mile after mile, crossing after crossing.
Life is too short!
