With a heavy coating of our famous Lake Effect snowfall covering Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, I made my way out trackside with no real plan in mind.
Turns out this day would be pretty productive, with catches of the AC&J shortline, CN's EJ&E heritage unit leading a CSX train, as well as some action over on the Bessemer & Lake Erie.
A rare run up the Girard Branch was enough to make me shift my focus that direction. Recently returned BLE 905 leads southbound over Locust Lane, and a beautiful snow scene to boot.

the macromonday theme for yesterday (7/23) was photographic gear and/or equipment-- this was an idea i had but didn't set up til late on monday, so i didn't use it then.
These images were taken at Ludington's North Breakwater Lighthouse, Lake Michigan, on Oct. 27th, 2010. A violent autumn windstorm created 21 foot waves that day, which slammed against this Great Lakes lighthouse. It certainly was a moving experience for me to witness nature's fury like this.
An exerpt from a regional Michigan newspaper:
Headline: Windstorm Creates Massive Waves
By Sharif Durhams of the Journal Sentinel - Oct. 27, 2010
The wind whipping across Lake Michigan is creating massive waves. The National Weather Service recorded a 21.7 foot wave Tuesday in the middle of the lake at a buoy east of Washington Island, weather service meteorologist J.J. Wood said.
The buoy also recorded a 20-foot waves early Wednesday.
“We should not be upset with others that hide the truth from us, when we hide it so often from ourselves.”
Building takes a long time in Second-Life, even if you are proficient in it to the point where others strive to try and learn from you. On a smaller scale, detail is always pleasant; but the bigger scale you go. The more problems arise, too many to start listing off. Finding motivation each day as well as new ideas, styles, techniques and then small things in general that would help you improve on a daily basis is.. Exhausting really.
A lot of people will say "Oh I wish I could draw/sing/dance/build/sports/etc. like you! Mine suck!" A master has failed more times than a beginner has tried, by no means am I master of my hobby. The further I delve into it, the more frustrating it gets. Especially when you strive for the perfect balance of detail, atmosphere and more.
My birthday was very recent, which I got to go shopping at Midnight Order and Warehouse with some friends. My favorite of them all are the brand new eyes that Aiizawa had made.
This shot would have been much more fun to do if the wind was not blowing the leaves all over! Those damn autumn winds!

It was a sudden and intense sunset, so I wanted to capture it. The first location is where I should have stayed in hindsight, but this shot is nonetheless a great representation of the beaches of Cornwall at sunset.
Anghiari è un borgo toscano in provincia di Arezzo.
La sua fama nasce dal fatto di essere stata teatro della battaglia combattuta nell'anno 1440 tra i Fiorentini e i Milanesi, e in seguito dipinta da Leonardo da Vinci.
Il suo centro storico è ottimamente conservato e merita di essere visitato.

Anghiari is a Tuscan village in the province of Arezzo (Italy).
The fame of the village stems from the fact that it was the scene of the battle fought in the year 1440 between Milan and Florence and later painted by Leonardo da Vinci.
Its historical center is well preserved and deserves to be visited.
As I think back over the past year one of my most memorable trips was to the Subway in Zion National Park. This is a place I definitely want to revisit but with so many beautiful places on this Earth it will have to it will just have to wait it's turn!
I typically use some hdr in my images but the light was uniform enough in the Subway itself that this one is from a single raw exposure.

Street sculpture and tile wall. The original work of art is called "Progression". I shot it down the length of the sculpture with the sun to the left. The tiles at the far left are from the wall of the building and the yellow-green and yellow-red colors contrast with the blue of the sculpture.
Got in a bit closer for this one and used 'live composite' mode to get the length. This is a great feature on the OM-1 that lets you catch 'sneak peaks' of how the long exposure is progressing at set intervals.

Sundowns along the riverfront are often like Nature's kaleidoscope. The trio in this post were taken over the course of the late afternoon/early evening last Sunday.
