The rear DPU on an empty coal train heads away from the camera as it heads up the Brush Subdivision for another load of coal. This was the last train we saw on a memorable week-long trip to Colorado and the surrounding states. Nine years later, I finally edited the rest of the B-roll and related shots.
On the way down to the NS Heritage unit event in Spencer we came across this then rare original Conrail paint leader north of Marion, OH on a southbound. This was one of the last few "real" Conrail led trains I shot. 7/2/12
The title needs some explanation...the River Severn divides into two channels at Gloucester and forms an island - Alney Island - now a nature reserve. It was once crossed by a railway and was also used for growing willow for basket making, now the disused railway line forms a path across the reserve and it’s a peaceful spot, even though it’s very close to the city.

As I walked back to my car, I couldn't resist one last shot of Whitby, just after sunrise. The town is one of two places [along with Cromer] on the East coast where the sun rises and sets in the sea at certain times of the year. Quite a while since one of my images has featured in Explore but no less thrilling! Thanks for looking in, your comments and favourites - all appreciated!
After two very productive weekdays following P07 around the J-Line, we set up for a parting shot just north of Carrboro. With UNC being one of a dwindling few steam plants still burning coal, and no other customers on the line, this branch is surely not long for this world.
These two rocks are physical entities or spiritual beings. They’re known as Ebisu Iwa and Daikoku Iwa because of their striking resemblance to the gods of that name.
To the left, Ebisu, the god of fishermen. He’s chubby, holds a fishing rod in one hand and a rather hefty red sea bass in the other. To the right, Daikoku, the god of wealth. He’s often depicted with a golden mallet. Both both are said to bring you good fortune.
Thought I would try out a candid shot of this guy, who had all the right ideas. Perfect position, correct lens (I assume, he looks like a pro!) and tripod, none of which I had, oh well... :-)))
Today was the first time that I've ever hovered above Table Bay in a helicopter.
Today was also the first time that I've taken my new Nikon D850 out of the house.
Today I managed to capture the best photo (in terms of image quality) that I've ever taken of Table Mountain.
Today is my last day as a resident of Cape Town.
Tomorrow I start my new life in the Knysna forests! Finally!! :)
I'll have very limited comms where I'm staying and probably won't be very active on social media.
But I'll be sure to find a way to share some of my best shots... no doubt about that!
So long Cape Town... the last 55 years have been wonderful... but now it's time for a change!
And a big thanks to Kevin Niemand of Cape Town Helicopters... for putting me exactly where I wanted to be this morning!!

The rocky shoreline is really exposed during low tide making way for great foregrounds. However, at high tide the shoreline changes somewhat. Instead the ocean begins to move inward and fills the area covering rocky formations and hiding what was once visible.
In this scene I was perched on one of the taller banks on the shore and prepared my composition. As the waves came crashing in I liked how the water would meet up in the sandy area below, swash around for a bit and then return out to sea. With each consecutive wave the water would meet, do its Tango, and then go their separate ways.
I've been so busy lately that I've been taking a break from social media. But I figure I can at least give you one image for this week. This shot was taking during our outing early this morning in Zion. The clouds were in a perfect position to reveal the Milky Way and were lit by light pollution from nearby Springdale and St George. I think they added the perfect touch of interest to the night sky. I took this shot with my 11mm f4 lens just to see how the ultra-wide angle would render the scene. Even though I lost a stop of light, my Sony is good up to ISO 10,000 so that helped to compensate.

One year ago, today I started this project dedicating it to a year of change, and I cannot believe how much I’ve accomplished through it all. This past year has been a journey, without a doubt. My photographic style seems to have drastically changed, and I know more than ever what I want. Photography was always there for me, introducing me to new people and friends and giving me new opportunities. I would never have found myself traveling for hours to the city so that I could hang out with so many amazing, talented people from around the world without it.
Ending this project feels so bittersweet. There were definitely weeks while I was at school where I wanted to give up on this project, but I was always able to pull something out to make up for lost weeks. I’m more than ready to move on though. This feels like one chapter of my life that I’m closing, and I’m about to embark onto bigger and better things. I’m excited to start planning more thoroughly and using more people in my photos and really putting my heart and soul into everything that I create.
This photo has been in my mind since the beginning of the year. I wanted to do this whole parting of the seas thing that also interpreted into breaking through the monotonous routine that I often find myself in. I didn’t want to use myself as a part of that idea behind it, even though it felt weird, but this is all about trying new things and growing.
Lastly, I wanted to thank everyone, especially want to thank my family and friends for putting up with me when I wanted to go shoot something and needed assistants, or when I didn’t want to shoot anything and they still pushed me to go outside with my camera. If you’re still reading this, I want to thank you for taking the time to view my work and keeping me going.
You have no idea how inspiring everyone has been so thank you for sticking with me, and I hope if anything that I was able to inspire someone throughout this entire journey.
Also Morey started his 52 weeks today so go check that out! You'll be happy you did.
Last image I made before packing up my equipment and heading back up and over the mountain. A somewhat different angle/composition than most shots I've made from Celestial Point, showing the last few yards as you walk out onto the ledge. I appreciated and enjoyed the sunlight illuminating the valley floor, brightening the tops of the evergreens along the river...

This particularly violent monsoon storm developed right above me, drenching me with rain as I ran for my vehicle. I waited there until it moved on and captured this last strike of lightning over Sedona's Cathedral Rock before it started to fade. Ahh, the thrills (and dangers) of shooting during the summer monsoon season!
After clearing US Customs, the Canadian crew on CP 250 shoves back across Rte. 201 to tie the train down.
I took advantage of the gray skies to shoot an angle often backlit. The rattier side of the station does a little something to make the 3 SD's, 2 still in original multimark look a little less tired.

Over Thanksgiving weekend, hundreds and hundreds of sandhills flew South over my area, calling out with their distinct and deafening sounds! Taken at Paradise Valley wildlife area near Dousman, WI.
It is often said that all good things must come to and end. I captured my last series of images along a photogenic curve at milepost 657.3 of the Lynndyl Subdivision, between Strong and Delta, Utah on Oct. 4, 2019. Farewell 4014, hope to see you again soon!
Mono Lake, California
It had been a stormy afternoon on the lake, but the clouds over the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains managed to get their act together at the last moment to deliver a parting blast of colorful light, here framed by two tufa columns.
Tufa columns are a calcium carbonate rock (limestone) created when fresh water springs rise up from the floor of a saline lake such as Mono Lake. When the lake’s water levels dropped through water diversions to Los Angeles, the tops of the tufa columns emerged.

M35791-11 stopped at North Midway. Holding the main for the recrew. As I left the train I took this picture with the morning dawn taking place.
Having weighed, measured and photo ID'd this male smooth snake (Coronella austriaca) as part of an ongoing licensed study I took one last photo of it before it slithered into the cover of some deep heather.
