One of 10 GE ES44AC's honoring the BNSF Railway 25th Anniversary of the September 22, 1995 merger between Burlington Northern Railroad and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway leads BNSF Train H KCKLIN1 31A past a clear signal at Clarke on the BNSF St. Joseph Sub.
The logos of 8 predecessor railroads line the hood of the engine including CB&Q, GN, NP, BN, AT&SF, SLSF, C&S, and SP&S. This is the 3rd unit to enter regular service across the system with the anniversary lettering.
Who knows how long it's been since a locomotive featuring a Burlington Route herald knocked down these signals.

An Elderly Woman Was Standing At The Railing Of A Cruise Ship Gripping Her Hat Tightly So It Wouldn't Blow Away.
A Gentleman Approached Her And Said, "Pardon Me Madam...I Don't Mean To Seem Forward, But Did You Know Your Dress Is Blowing Up In this Strong Wind?"
She Replied, "Yes I Know But I Need Both Hands To Hold Onto This Hat."
The Man Fairly Shouted, "But Madam, You're Not Wearing Any Underwear And Your Privates Are Exposed!"
The Woman Looked Down Then Back Up At The Man And Said, "Sir, Anything You See Down There Is 75 Years Old.
I Just Bought This Hat Yesterday!"

because our property backs onto a park, we have a lot of wildlife that wanders into our yard or burrows under our fence.
This shot is a first for me ( full manual mode at dusk). I normally shoot in aperture priority and lately thought about trying to shoot in full manual like many pro wildlife photographers recommend.
So tonight, about 30 minutes before sunset I went out into our yard and found this rabbit. I started at 800 iso, then 1600 iso and finished with 3200 iso.

It has been a while since last upload. There has been a change in my life, a little baby girl that has been my priority number one. Yesterday I got motivation to head out with a photogear and I have to say it felt quite amazing after so long time.
Photo is named "alone" even so that i'm farthest away from alone in my whole life. <3
Icland's F-roads may not follow the shortest distance between two points. However, that's not your priority, not even in foggy weather.

Hello my friends ....
Sorry if I've been away for a while .... This old North Bay beach bum needed some time to reflect on everything that has been happening in my life .... No matter that what I'm living is totally amazing .... and that I was so ready to share my life with a soul mate and life partner ..... There was also some grieving to do .... grieving the friends and family I've left behind ... my country... Frank ..... and a lot of other stuff ..... and come to realize that life just ain't about pretty pictures ( although this one is a beaut ... 8-) ) I just needed some space .... twas time to feel it...and live it ......
All is really good ......
Be well my dear friends ....and yeah...I missed you all ...... but Palo kept me posted on most ..... xox

I didn't quite nail this as much as I would like due to setting my focus priority wrong. Flying through the far end of the Bwlch at the Mach Loop.
Make HAPPINESS a priority...
I've decided that next year I am going to shoot the hot air balloons while flying in one. Enjoyed shooting this festival so much that next year I want to experience it from the air. There... I have a goal...and it is a priority!
This Tree Squirrel is melanistic and could be either an Eastern Gray Squirrel or Fox Squirrel with an usual black coat. However, I'm fortunate to live in an area where they thrive and I and the dogs love watching them in our trees ...

A recently described new species of Drosera. These have been recorded from scattered locations in Perth Hills as well as some much further south at Yilliminning. Sometimes these are found growing around granite outcrops, others in low sandy shrub-lands. The flowers are quite small - only around 10 mm across. The dark colour of the petals makes them very attractive but difficult to find in the field. The calyx shines with a bronze metallic gold. This is one of the exciting species recognised and described in the revision of the Drosera microphylla complex and this one was named for the Horts. Look out for these flowering during mid-late August.
P2 refers to the West Australian DBCA Parks and Wildlife priority flora code. Drosera hortiorum is classified as rare but not endangered at this stage. These are found growing in a National Park as well as in Water Authority Reserves generally considered safe conservation areas. Fred

Excerpt from www.casavant.ca/opus/saemoonan-presbyterian-church-en/:
Established as the first Korean protestant church, Saemoonan Presbyterian built a new church on Sinmunno, Gwanghwamun, celebrating its 132nd anniversary.
Considered as the Mother of all churches in the country, the new church is a large multi-story building offering many services and where functionalism is the top priority. It was articulated around four major themes: 1. The historicity as the mother church of Korean Protestant churches, 2. The symbolism of doors opened to heaven, 3. The spatiality of expressing Christ as light, 4. Presenting a water space as a meaning of baptism and harmony. “Loving God” and Loving Neighbors” themes in mind, the shape of the new building resembles a mother stretched out toward the sky.

Princes Street is one of the major thoroughfares in central Edinburgh, Scotland, and its main shopping street. It is the southernmost street of Edinburgh's New Town, stretching around 1 mile (1.6 km) from Lothian Road in the west to Leith Street in the east. The street is mostly closed to private cars, with public transport given priority. The street has virtually no buildings on the south side, allowing panoramic views of the Old Town, Edinburgh Castle, and the valley between.
Only the east end of the street is open to all traffic. The bulk of the street is limited to trams, buses and taxis.

Whether a driving rain, or snowstorm, there are certain priorities.............! Taken at the drive-through during today's snowstorm.
"These 108 cocnut lamps were made by several members of the Rainbow Soulclub as a tribute to Roy Telgt and all the cocnut lamps he made during hs lifetime. Roy, a.k.a. 'Totty', started making lamps while in prison to relieve his boredom. Over the years he made countless lamps - often as an escape from everyday reality. Totty was a member of the Rainbow SOulclub from the beginning. He died unexpectedly in 2022. We miss him a lot."

What a gorgeous if ridiculously windy day! I actually feared a little bit for my camera but all's good and I quite liked how this turned out.
Someone mentioned the other day why I use shutter priority rather than aperture priority or manual.. I guess it's really just because it's easy to adjust when I'm taking shots and to get the kind of capture I want quickly. I'm going to try and learn more about my camera, definitely :)
Hope you guys had a nice Monday!
Running Eagle Falls in Glacier National Park near Two Medicine. It was a bright sunny day when this photo was taken, but several of us waited for the clouds to cover up the sun and finally got a decent shot!

The goats weren't concerned about the incoming storm today. Seeing the dramatic setting, I gave them some cedar pieces for a snack and took a few photos. I soon got them inside, before the rain began.
We don’t drift into spiritual life; we do not drift into disciplined prayer. We do not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray. That means we must set aside time to do nothing but pray. What we actually do reflects our highest priorities. That means that we can proclaim our commitment to prayer until the cows come home, but unless we actually pray, our actions disown our words - D A Carson
NS 2609 makes quick work of Horseshoe Curve leading a high priority intermodal up the grade towards the summit on a chilly January Afternoon.
Steve, Robert and I were waiting at the Curve for NS 747, which consisted of NS 4000, 4002 and 8114. We froze to death, so unfortunately we did not catch it at the Curve. However, the parade of westbound intermodals produced some decent power, with this being one of them.

This morning dawned bright and cool, ideal for a walk in the woods.
Today I decided to shoot jpeg only, just to see what results I could get.
This image is straight from the camera, re-sized and watermarked in photoshop and uploaded.

Catching a SD75I in Colorado in 2010 was a wonderful surprise. This train had all the local railfans out, if I remember correctly, there were at least 6 of us chasing this train.
SD75 power was common on coal trains during my time in North Dakota, and I always enjoyed catching Wabonnet goodness when I could (or, in this case, BNSFbonnet). The SD75I came after the merger, so these were purchased and built as BNSF units. Glad they stuck with the Warbonnet scheme when these were built!
