Something I never thought I would see on the Mississippi Delta Railroad, wind mill trains... And my FIRST wind mill train at that. But here we are in 2023, a few years after Rock Island Rail took over operations, and these guys have turned it into a completely different railroad.
It's Friday Morning July 7th, 2023 and Rock Island Rail is taking one of several wind mill trains from the Canadian National interchange at Swan Lake up to Vestas Transload Terminal in Clarksdale, MS. This train being all wind mill towers.
Former BNSF SD38P, (now Rock Island) #1555 lead the first part of the journey from Swan Lake to Sumner, from there Rock Island GP38 #4373 was added to take the train the rest of the way to Clarksdale.
Here the train is seen passing through Albin, MS.
As of 2025, Rock Island Rail no longer operates the Mississippi Delta Railroad.
This is a close-up photo of light and shadow on a beach rock. The larger grain of beach sand reminds me of those 'pale blue dot' images of planet earth in the vastness of space as seen from Saturn.
I found this beautiful and large individual guarding a bed along the bank of the Nissitissit River yesterday afternoon. It was by far the most cooperative fish I've photographed yet, often letting me get the end of my dome port just inches away.
Rock Creek sustained the most severe damage of all hatcheries. With the exception of the Rock Ed Education Center, all buildings and employee housing were either destroyed or severely damaged by the Archie Creek Fire. Staff access has been more limited than at other facilities due a number of hazards around the site including downed trees and power lines. Some hazards were eliminated to allow staff to get in Wednesday (Sept. 16), remove about 700 remaining adult spring Chinook and summer steelhead and move them to Cole Rivers Hatchery with the intent to spawn and collect enough eggs to meet Rock Creek’s production goals. Staff estimates 400,000 juvenile fish were lost and although the extent of fish loss is currently unknown, we expect to know more later.

At Mirror Lake, I found this rock and its reflection perfectly aligned with the towering Half Dome above.

The wavy Karst rock formations at the Stone Forest at Shilin near Kunming, Yunnan, China, formed over 270 million years old when the area was below sea level.
From oldrockhouse.com: “Old Rock House is a concert venue and event space located in downtown St. Louis, between the Soulard neighborhood and Busch Stadium.
The renovated Old Rock House building borrows its name from a historic riverfront building dismantled in 1959 to make way for the Gateway Arch.” Thanks for having a look.
Chimney Rock from a distance, nice view of the valley, but the perspective gets lost as the rock is quite large.
I couldn't resist re-shooting this iconic Sedona scene of Cathedral Rock recently. An overnight snow had mostly melted away by the day's end and filled these sandstone pools with water allowing for wonderful reflection images.
Dolphin rock at sunrise on the Sunshine Coast QLD. I have been chasing this shot for a while now where a nice sunrise aligns with high tide. Was finally successful last week. Instagram @glensinclair_photography
I went on to Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada and came across this nice little sandstone Mojave Desert arch with its generic name.
If you find yourself in Las Vegas and are suffering from neon burnout, take a ride out to Red Rock Canyon. You'll find that relief is closer than you thought. Located a mere 15 miles from the Strip, Red Rock Canyon is a natural wonderland full of red rock formations, sandstone peaks, and indescribable desert beauty.
There is chatter, that the Burning Man Festival may move here if the Bureau of Land Management does not renew the festival's permit at Black Rock Desert, which expires in 2020. My personal opinion is, the festival has become an overblown corporate event in recent years. Las Vegas with all the glitter, would be the perfect location--compatible bedfellows if you will.
