Putting Photography First

At the rear of the services on the M6 Toll road. There is a path which climbs a knoll overlooking the service area and where people are encouraged to walk their dogs. As we passed through yesterday there was a digger on the mound putting in the foundation of a new monument to the air ambulance crews. Despite all the noise I took the path and was astonished to see these deer to the rear of the site where the new housing has been built. Although it was wonderful to see it is perhaps another indication of just how far we have encroached on wildlife habitat.
Nah, not really. Just catching some late afternoon sun in Moss Landing, California.

flickr friends+me = twice as nice
Thank you for putting up with me flickr friends. I know I type dyslexic all the time without realizing it. I leave words out of my sentences completely. My friends tell me they have learned a new language by being my buddy on instant messages. Now I just noticed I have been handing out spanish invites to all of my friends for two days! I told you yesterday I am still silly. Well here you go!!! LOL
Have a wonderful day!!
The famous pelicans of St James`s Park London are such characters and love entertaining the visitors. Have a great week ahead everyone!

While back east during the process of putting my young lad to rest after his untimely and tragic demise earlier in February of this , I wandered through several of my old photographic haunts like Hoboken NJ, the wonderful Erie Lackawanna Ferry-Rail Terminal now utilized by New Jersey Transit, PATH and New York Waterway today. The green patina of the oxidized copper adorns it’s exterior.

Putting their rain together at the current end of the line west of Roaring River. Wood chip and log unloading equipment of the Louisianna Pacific mill is visible.

In putting together my annual favorite Flickr photo of each month album, I noticed that for the first time since I joined, I didn’t post a single shot in June. That’s pretty par for the course it seems. My posting has been extremely lean and I’m hoping to change that next year.
But for the purposes of finding a June photo for the folder, I present probably my luckiest catch of the year. An early 664 local runs around a sand train parked on Main 2 waiting to go to the CP. As the train was approaching I saw a couple deer over on the levee. When the train came into my view I saw them dart down the hill and back up across the ROW right in front of the local. Luckily for them, the train is decelerating for the 10mph crossover. A normal-speed train here would have produced a much more…interesting result.
had to dig through the past months archives for this one, have no energy for creativity today, not sleeping because of incessant coughing, really sucks, anyways all things must pass, hope y'all are well, will be visiting when back to my normal abnormalness :)
seen from the car this past February.
(278/365) Autumn colours starting to show in the trees at Newmarket's recently revamped Pitch & Putt course. I don't play golf but am going to try & do the 1km perimeter walk 2 or 3 times a week. It's a lovely walk with a stream & varied habitats. My son works 3 days a week in the restaurant at the James O'Keeffe institute which is adjacent to the course so when I drop him off I can do some power walking. That's the theory anyway lol my trouble is I keep stopping to take photos! HTMT!
My other hobby is designing and making clothes.
I do "Red fabric project" when I feel like ;)...

A contrast between light, dark and misty. The background was muted just enough to keep the yellow tree on the edge of the lake as the main feature. The manicured grass is part of the 9 hole pitch and putt golf course at the Inn on the Lake hotel.
Yes I know there's a builders van in the middle of the photo.......!
Before I left the area, Brockport had one solid customer for the Falls Road RR. The cold storage in Brockport took cryo-trans reefers for as long as I could remember and I always loved getting photos of them working the place. An ancient building worked with ancient power, it truly was a nice scene.
Since I left, Brockport has gained an orange juice customer that takes Tropicana Reefers and has added enough business to the railroad that there are now two jobs on the railroad during a busy day. I hope to see those in person come a few weeks from now when I head home for a little bit. It's nice to see a line that Conrail wanted dead claw its way back to relevancy with the help of a great company like GVT.
In this photo you can see RS11 #1802 shoving into the cold storage facility with a pair of empties to be loaded. This NKP product is still my favorite locomotive on earth, as I spent a good portion of my childhood and adulthood following it around the area. Fit with a Leslie S3L, poling pockets, and pilot stripes, there's nothing quite as photogenic as this unit in the area.
Side note: Once upon a time, the now retired trainmaster and engineer of this shortline invited me up into the cab of their RS32 #2035 to chat while they switched the facility. The guy was a friend of my father's and they chased trains around WNY back in the 90s so we always had a quick chat when time allowed, but this time it would be in the cab. Not even 5 minutes later while shoving the empties in, I hear a thumping sound and feel the telltale vibrations of an "uh-oh". I looked over to the engineer with wide eyes, right as he told me to get the hell out of the cab. The B-end of the car ahead of us had derailed, and the last thing they needed was a train geek to be seen in the cab when that happened. That was years ago now so, who's to say it ever happened in the first place. Good times.

Always remember to take your camera to a gun fight.
I found myself almost in the middle of this situation on Sunset Blvd, in Hollywood Ca. The LAPD had arrived in droves and before I knew it , two individuals were on the ground, I was not one of them.
Oh!, and I got off the first shot....grin!!
BNSF has a habit of putting its power moves to/from the Topeka Shops on a track just west of the shops, and its always like a game of Roulette to find out what'll be on the south (RR-west) end of it. 95% of the time, it's some variety of orange GE, but every once in a while, there's something worth photographing!
Such was the case this afternoon, when BNSF SD60M no. 1434 was spotted on the west end of the cut, which was absolutely worth snapping a photo of! This 34 year-old veteran was built as the BN 9257, and traded its Cascade Green for orange at some point between 2017 and 2019. Most recently, it had been working yard jobs in Illinois as of 2023.
