A brief 5 mile chase of a backlit C40-8W leader abruptly ends as this SD70M-2 leader in perfect light meets it at Ackerville, thus beginning a 30 mile chase to Fond du Lac.
It’s nice seeing these lead again, as I hadn’t seen one lead in over a year at that point, barely having any useable shots of them in service. Got close about a month before, but CN swapped power on the main because the lead M-2 was having problems
I was cloud banged in my attempts to get this shot in Jan, but a triumphant return allowed this shot to be had on Feb 27, 2018.

“I tell of hearts and souls and dances...
Butterflies and second chances;
Desperate ones and dreamers bound,
Seeking life from barren ground,
Who suffer on in earthly fate
The bitter pain of agony hate,
Might but they stop and here forgive
Would break the bonds to breathe and live
And find that God in goodness brings
A chance for change, the hope of wings
To rest in Him, and self to die
And so become a butterfly.”
sorry if this idea is already done. i’m practicing

I was advised by a judge in a club comp. that a similar shot to this was "too blue". I felt that I gave fair warning when I entitled the entry 'Blue Bridge at the Blue Hour' :)

The light of starry dreams can only be seen once we escape the blinding cities of disbelief.
Captured using two different focal lengths 90mm for the water to get a little compression and 28mm for the mountains, all Schneider Tilt Shifts. Nice and and easy with the blend due to the perfect horizon. Captured the water early in the morning as the water was so sweet and the wind picked up later which made for nice semi long exposure clouds.

Well in a fortunate turn of events I got redemption the very next day when the AAPRCO special headed for a rare mileage run out the Okeelanta Branch. But that would mean retracing Sunday's trip out the SCFE mainline south from Clewiston to Keela Jct. where the branch peels off toward the big Florida Crystals owned mill. And this time as they sailed over the small canal just north of the Evercane Road crossing at MP 951.8 (historic ACL mileage measured from Richmond) on the SCFE's mainline I was graced with perfect sun and even a bit of a smoke plume. Yes this will do!
Clean burning (it's fired with used restaurant vegetable oil and this is one of the few times I saw it really smoke s) 148 was built for the Florida East Coast Railway in 1920 at Alco's Richmond Works and served for the FEC for 32 years including operating over the famed 'Overseas Railroad' to Key West until that line was wiped out by the 1935 hurricane.
From 1952 to 1968, 148 was owned by US Sugar for use on their private cane hauling railroad, and then later was sold for use in excursion service on the Black River and Western and Morristown and Erie Railroads. Following that career she languished with different owners for decades until finally being repatriated to Clewiston and restored over a four year period.

It has been quite the week on the RF&P as we have been graced with some of the Amtrak special units. After striking out the night before, I learned that Amtrak 108 would be leading a train. Having shot the 100 earlier this year, I have to say I very much like the 108's sharp red paint. Here's to hoping they stay in the power pool one more day, and I can head out Saturday for a proper day of railfanning.
After embarrassing myself as told in the story with this post: flic.kr/p/2nESwS7 I vowed to get it right this time. Consequently I had no choice but to return here for my last shot of the day during this, the biggest show in steam of the year.
This third outing of the reincarnated 'Reading Rambles' was once again led by Reading and Northern 4-8-4 2102 which returned to service this year after a more than three decade slumber. Built in the Reading Company's own shops in 1945 the stout T-1 was doubled headed for one trip only with long time steam star 425. Almost two decades older, the high-drivered 4-6-2 light Pacific was built by Baldwin in 1928 for the Gulf, Mobile & Northern. The steam duo is leading 19 cars with a sold out train of nearly 800 passengers headed back to North Reading after a day long outing to Jim Thorpe.
To learn more about these locomotives check out the RBMN's pages on them here: www.rbmnrr-passenger.com/2102-updates
They are seen here passing the photo line and crossing Molino Road at MP 81.1 on the modern day Reading and Northern Railroad's Reading Division mainline.

A pair of blue topaz earrings. I bought these from a street fair around 6 years ago, and I guess wore them quite often, since recently the silver wire on one of them broke. I re-wired it, rather inexpertly; for this shot, I hid my work in the background, out of focus. :) The side of the ruler that is in focus is in centimetres.
100mm + 25mm extension tube.
HMM everyone!

Image collected in my photobook, Something Beautiful.
I mentioned this before and I'll mention it again for this photo; Glacier NP has been the original inspiration that gave me the landscape photography bug.
Redemption is one of the best feelings in the world. And there's where the story of this image begins.
Going back to February of 2016 when I went on my first landscape photography trip to Death Valley, I had no idea what I was doing. It was just me running around with my dinky tripod and Canon DSLR, thinking I was going to come away with some great shots. Some shots were okay, but I did not know what truly made a good landscape photograph.
A few months later in July 2016, I would finally make it to Glacier NP. This was my opportunity to visit and photograph Hidden Lake and Bearhat Mountain, the landscape that originally inspired me to pick up the camera.
Things would momentarily end there. The trail that goes past the overlook was closed. An animal carcass would mean bears were actively traversing the trails. Getting to view the mountain and lake from another angle would not be possible.
On top of that the skies were all clear and I would return home without a rewarding photo of my favorite location.
Three years later, redemption was in reach. I was finally back in Glacier NP, and had planned to photograph Hidden Lake and Bearhat Mountain for sunset and this time the skies were stormy looking and very dramatic.
But the outlook was looking grim. AGAIN just like the Summer of 2016, the trail that continues past the overlook was closed again due to an animal carcass. That is two visits to Glacier NP, and twice I've never gotten past the overlook.
Running around worried I would not get possibly my favorite photograph for my landscape portfolio, I finally found this nice little frame of the lake and mountains. Had I been this position back in 2016, I would never have seen this spot.
I was now set to capture my favorite image that I was after since the beginning of my camera. It was only a matter of time until the clouds and light were right. There only one more thing that would make this image better.
I knew based on my past visit to this spot that mountain goats traverse this area very frequently, and while looking at this composition I imagined, "What if there was a goat standing right there in my frame?"
As my luck would have it, a mountain goat walked right into my frame and posed there for a good 30-60 seconds before he was gone. It was at that moment after snapping away, that I had finally gotten the shot of my dreams.
And that is my story of Redemption. I finally got the shot of my dreams. And even though I have still not been able to hike past the overlook, that still means one day I will return and continue on.
Thank you for reading this far as this image has become one of my favorite images. I am very proud of the journey it has taken me on and am excited for the future adventures will lead me to.
