Rising from the flat plain surrounding it, just as the sun is rising behind, the old grain elevator at Dankin is also falling. Sandra took me there specifically to witness the two old elevators: this one is almost a hundred years old, she said, and part of the roof has blown off since her last visit. We walked around them, crossing old railroad tracks, shooting in the flat light of evening. There is nothing left of Dankin besides the elevators. It is described online as "an area". Soon there won't even be these remnants; look at how badly it's leaning. One big storm will smash it down to a pile of broken boards. So our visit was tinged with melancholy.
The next morning, on my way home, I had to pass by them again, and tried to time my arrival for sunrise. Almost missed it. When I saw the light exploding through open doors at the base, I ran across a field of wheat stubble, stopping to set the tripod up fast, compose intuitively, shoot, and run some more. Part of the running was because it was so cold I knew I couldn't stay out long. Half an hour was all. Coming back to my car, fingers numb with pain, I thought I'd never been that cold in my life.
The only lens I used was the 14-24 mm - sharp and versatile. This was the fourth shot in the sequence; I'll upload others over time because I don't know if it's the best of the lot. Sometimes I have to let things settle; I've been looking through a lot of images these past few days. Many thanks to Sandra Herber for making a strong case to visit this location and photograph the two old elevators in winter light.

It was a long time I had to wait for the moon rising about the moutains. Moonrise was at 20:53 pm, but it took him hours to appear over this mountain in the background. So minutes before 11 pm I could finally start with some shots.
Reading recently about the annual Blood Moon expected.
Today (March 13th) heading home...evening...light fading...sure enough, up comes the blood moon over the mountain...
Very dark clouds building up...suddenly a strong wind...sand and dust flying everywhere...spots of horizontal rain...hurried home in record time.
Thought about the old CCR song:
"I see the bad moon rising,
I see trouble on the way,
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
There's a bad moon on the rise"

With the next supermoon a little more than a week from now, I thought I'd share this from the last event with the moon rising over the Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound.
I hadn't planned on being out to shoot the supermoon but as the sunset subsided and I was heading toward the car, this couple who had just arrived asked whether I was actually leaving, the moon was about to come up. I had completely forgotten it was a supermoon weekend so I quickly calculated where the moon would rise and set back up and was surprised how bright the moon was through the haze that had set up over the mountains.
The next supermoon is on August 10th. If you pick up the Photographer's Emphemeris you can find your spot.
Shot taken out of the car.

The full December Cold Moon rising over the Glen Alps near Anchorage Alaska.
It was about -10 degrees Fahrenheit when I photographed this scene.
Rising 1676 metres above the city of Chiang Mai, Doi Suthep is one of the most revered religious destinations in Thailand
Tonight's "Wolf Moon" rising up behind the towers on top of Mt Woodson in San Diego.
The moon is called the "Wolf Moon" because wolves were more likely to be heard howling this time of the year
It's good to be scanning recently developed film again, especially with my new scanner.
Would love to know what station I was at? Taken on a DX lens on film, probably with VR switched on.
Edit 8/18: Currently this is my "most interesting" photo taken in London, quite a few of my most interesting photos have come from my 5 trips to London in the last 3 years and my second most faved photo of all time, thank you, I think this will be the first photo I print next time I get into the darkroom.
Taken as the rising sun peaks over Sheepstor, the closest thing we get to mountains in the Southwest of England. I really loved the small break in the clouds allowing for the sun to shine through and the moodiness of the clouds.
Another from our weekend out at Lake Windamere. The beautiful morning sun lighting up the rising mist from the water as the local birdlife slowly defrost.
