Adding a sprinkle to a mini-cupcake.
Some days it goes your way, and sometimes it doesn't. Today it went my way. To make this photo I pressed the shutter button on my camera a grand total of one time.
Oh, and I didn't crop either. I did brighten it up a little bit, but that's the only edit.
Just about 30 minutes after sunrise the IBRLA 26 gets ready to take the Main Track at the South end of Bealville with a first order C45ACCTE on the point. Now for the confusing part, while in the Tehachapi area there were three IBRLAs I saw two, none of them went through the pass at the same time, this one was the only train that was actually running on time. The IBRLA 25 is a mere 4 hours ahead of this train (The train was near Ravenna in Soledad Canyon) running 20 hours behind plan, and the IBRLA 24 (see previous photo) ran through Bealville around 1830 on Friday which was only 12 hours behind and that train would get in to East Yard for another 24 hours spending most of Saturday at Highland. Oh and what happens to this one you ask? It will run all the way to Main Street to sit just like all the ZBRLCs did in the past.
Installation of 7 steel cables for a new wood chips conveyor system. Each cable was about 700 meters long. Flying at extremely low altitude and in real "slow motion" above a large industrial site requires maximim precision. Only most experienced pilots will be permitted to such a job. This mission was completed in 4 hours, a conventional intallation on the ground would have taken several days.

This is a cropped version of a shot I already posted of women soldiers in Pyongyang, North Korea doing morning drills. Seeing the precision is amazing to me. The seriousness and consistency of their facial expressions as well.
Also, if you have the time, I was interviewed on National Public Radio in the US about my experience in North Korea. You can listen to the 5 minute interview here.
CN C40-8s 2013 and 2010, plus shockingly clean-looking CEFX AC4400 1017 rest at Precision Locomotive Services in East Chicago, Indiana.
After wrapping up a shift of allowing visitors to learn to run a locomotive, Minnesota Transfer 200 pulls a second shift working to line up equipment in preparation for the next day. The engineer leans out the window as they precisely spot a complete C&NW commuter trainset. August 10, 2024.

In capturing this aerial formation, I wanted to transcend the mere documentation of a military display to create a pure graphic artwork. I chose black and white to strip the scene of any distraction and focus on the very essence of this moment: the perfect geometry created by these flying machines. My intention was to transform something technical and military into an almost abstract artistic composition. I waited for the precise moment when the contrails would draw these perfect parallel lines in the sky, creating a dialogue between military precision and visual poetry. The black and white conversion emphasizes the contrast between the white silhouettes of the aircraft and the dark sky, reinforcing the dramatic impact of the composition. Through this image, I wanted to demonstrate how discipline and precision can become a form of art.
the Precision is a design-study model that Acura says “literally will shape the direction of all future Acura products.”

7.62x63mm special precision rifle.
A long-range interdiction weapon developed by Barton Precision Industries, intended to supplement the Arctic Warfare line of sniper rifles then currently in service with many police forces stationed in New Haven.
Thanks to its lightweight precision parts, the Talon is extremely accurate at long ranges, yet very light despite its size. In addition, the 7.62x63mm rounds it chambers pack a heavy punch, allowing accurate operators to silence their targets with ease.
However, purchasing and maintaining this weapon is a whole different matter, as the proprietary parts required for this weapon are quite expensive.
Other features include ergo grips and a built-in bipod.

The Short-eared Owls of the Black Dirt region in NY State. This one seen about to ponce on its prey; with a local ski run painting the background.
Thank you for all your views and uplifting comments!!
Hoverfly (Eristalis tenax) hovering just above the bright yellow disc florets of an Oxeye Daisy. Commonly mistaken for honeybees due to their convincing Batesian mimicry, these insects are superb aerial acrobats capable of moving forwards, backwards, and remaining completely stationary mid-air. They play a vital role as secondary pollinators in gardens and meadows across the UK, moving swiftly from bloom to bloom throughout the summer months.
Tugs SD Independent and SD Bountiful putting the finishing touches to the berthing of Type 23 frigate HMS Portland (F79) in HMNB Portsmouth. She was ushered into the harbour and manoeuvred quickly and skilfully into her berth to enable rapid precautionary medical attention for a number of personnel following accidental chemical contamination of the drinking water purification system. According to the Royal Navy the next day, all those taken to hospital were expected to make a full recovery, with the majority already having been discharged.
The practise it takes to get these tricks perfect. I see these guys practising for hours at a time.

This is the heartbeat before the roar.
A young kicker locks in, body aligned, arms wide like wings in flight, as the rugby ball leaves the tee and slices through the air. There’s no hesitation in his form — just raw intent, laser focus, and that signature explosive release. It's a moment built on repetition, discipline, and instinct… and this frame captures it all.
The black and white edit strips the image down to its essence — no distractions, just form and emotion. It highlights contrast: the light on the player’s jersey against the soft falloff of the blurred background, the clean silhouette of the kicking leg slicing across the foreground, and the textures of torn grass trailing from his boot.
