A crew spots ore cars for dumping on Dock 6 in Duluth while the vintage (1943) laker Cuyahoga loads under the conveyor booms. The Cuyahoga is one of the oldest hulls still sailing on the Great Lakes.
Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult. Julia Cameron

Here is a vertical look at a sliver of the expansive Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge at sunset, July, 2024.
I had the paint, I had the idea, even though the wall got cancelled I still wanted to do it.
Shouts to those out on a day that went from warm sunshine to snow: Crane, Dose, Karma, Ethos, Urge and Keen
ne man, one dog, one blade of light. the city disappears into rhythm and geometry, where motion cuts across stone and shadow with cinematic precision.
With the sun not high enough above the buildings quite yet, Q576 storms though Holton with what little sunlight has slipped through.

Union Pacific 2656 and 6967 hold up the rear end of the West Colon, California to Ogden, Utah manifest train in the siding at Erie, Nevada, after the ZSCLB blasted by them. As some amount of measurable luck would have it some of the thin clouds that were present at the time the two trains passed each other had broken up just enough to open up this great sunset shot.
This train kinda has a companion video with a few others follow the rabbit hole here: youtu.be/HtYuP8HTrms

The moon was setting here, and within 10 minutes had lowered and disappeared below these trees and the U.S Bank sign that you can see here atop the seven-story bank building.

Those low sun angles and an early departure from Loogootee made for a challenge to shoot from the U.S. Highway 50 overpass east of town.
This is a repositioning move of grain hoppers in storage, something not typically on local J780's workload. The crew had travelled west from Mitchell, their normal turning point, the day before. On duty at 0730, they departed Loogootee siding at 0845.
Looking at schedules for B&O trains from 1972, this eastbound could have almost passed for train 88 from St. Louis or an early running CI98, but given that it's a CSX local job, the schedule best fits SWSS, the "Southwestern Switcher" which departed Washington, 20 miles west at 0830.
This was a most enjoyable chase, especially given the fact that a train hadn't used the main here in three years.

In the dying embers of daylight, this American Goldfinch appeared as a dollop of sunshine as it briefly stopped its short hops from one crab tree to another.
But, if you look closely, there is a subtle change going on with his late summer clothing. Just a couple of months ago, his feathers were a pure yellow-gold as it was busy with nest construction and feeding the frantic, outstretched mouths of young ones.
Now, a shadow of olive coloring has begun to creep into his shoulders, a quiet reminder that the annual fading of color is beginning.
It won’t be long until most of his kin will drift south as they chase milder weather and more abundant food supplies. Those who choose to stay through our unpredictable winter will encounter a change of diet, no more soft, green buds or flying insects.
Instead, they will look for seeds in fields and woodlands or find kind-hearted, two-legged suppliers of sunflower seeds and other bird food from backyard feeders.
These changes may not invoke visceral feelings in our brightly colored friends, but to an old, doddering photographer, the annual transition to what is coming brings a strong dose of nostalgia about the past few months when mornings were gentle, the sunshine warm, and the air was alive with the sound of songbirds.

Just a few moody looking clouds down at West Beach. And a couple of strategically placed branches (not by me).
A tiny slice of sunlight cut through the spring fog this morning just as this four pack of c40’s eased a set of missabe side-dumps down Proctor Hill to Hallet for another load of limestone. Side-dump season is almost over, the ore cars will resume the duty over the course of the next week or so. For now they looked pretty cool slinking around the s-curves at 40th Ave west.
The pale brown forewing with the two brown edged, silvery cross-lines and the dark central spot are characteristic. Readily disturbed from bracken or other vegetation by day. Flies from dusk and after dark , April to June in Britain and Ireland. A brown, medium-sized moth, with two silvery white cross-lines on the forewing. Often found near bracken, occurring in woodland, heathland and moorland
Overwinters either as a pupa. Larva from mid June to September.
