This car is just sitting inside one of the abandoned buildings at Elderado Canyon (as per my last pic). I just love all that chrome!!!!

It's something of distant memory though, considering the subsequent gales, heavy and incessant rain we've had. Including today, since taking this shot, we've had five 'Amber Weather Warnings' for incessant and heavy rain with further flooding risks.
All I can say is thank goodness for the land drains under our bungalow which abuts the adjacent, sloping and draining hillside.
At one stage, last week, it rained continuously for 48 hours and in fact the rain is again 'Hammering Down' whilst posting this.
Luckily we're still safe and sound. I very much hope you are too.

Just as the sun disappeared below the horizon, with its ray's being diffused by the several Cumulus Clouds still above it, this laser/searchlight effect with distinctive silhouettes resulted.
There was aslo a strong North Westerly Onshore Air Current passing over from the distant Irish Sea bringing with it much lower and smaller scattered Cumulus Clouds. As they passed through the suns' rays, at varying heights, it was akin to a 'Volcanic Eruption - as they appeared to be blasted upwards.

While chasing the Pan Am business train was not in our plan when word circulated that it was indeed running from Portland to Ayer, Massachusetts Brian and I made our plans to chase with little experience of the area. During the end of the chase while the train worked through several 10mph slow orders we came across this interlocking by pure accident. As a big signal fan getting this train here near Willows was one of the bigger highlights of our trip.
