This little slip knot keeps my marker to fill in dates on the calendar.

Neat flow here along the stream in Ricketts Glen State Park.

Rising up, rising high

Filling the hole in the sky

Spreading the clouds

Spreading them wide

Slipping deep , deep inside

The opened hole, up in the sky

That swallows the hardness thrusting high

"Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world."

A juvenile hawk slipping on ice after it landed on a tombstone. I am trying to figure out whether this is a red-tailed hawk or not. It looks a bit different to me but a similar size.

Okay, I'll put my tools away and call it a day. I need to get serious about shooting something other than the Neighborhood Flowers ;-)

 

We Believe we're gliding down the highway... When in fact we're slip slidin' away.

Taking photographs of bubble solution is like a race against time. By the time you can focus on the sliding image in front of you, it can disappear with a quick burst. I must have taken more than one hundred photos of the bubble solution that day, but I do have some colorful reminders of the experience.

Buffalo Peaks Wilderness, Colorado

 

As the summer comes to an end and the nights are getting colder, it looks like it will be the last backpacking trip of the season. After a night with no sunset because of the rain, we were treated to this beautiful sunrise the next morning.

You know the nearer your destination

The more you're slip slidin' away

In Minnesota as the sky turns gold. Unedited, uncropped, just liquid.

I managed to hit Chicago's Ogden Slip at just the right time of day/year. It's tough because its hemmed in by buildings.

That also about describes how I feel about photographing seafog around the Golden Gate in 2015. I think people who are into it made the most of it, but, man it was scarce.

There were several days when the fog vanished before sunset and dawn.

Oh, and this is my real daylight shot of the month, too. Back to non-daytime shots soon.

Thanks for having a look!

Straight shot down the slip to get the two other ships that were either blocked or just out of frame, as almost 52,000 TEU wait to get worked at both Fenix Marnie and APM after the holiday break with the smallest ship being APL Florida at 6,282 TEU and the largest being MSC Venice coming in at just over 15,000 TEUs.

A well fed Coyote goes on its way after feeding on the remains of yesterdays Elk carcass.

This shot was taken last November but thought I would post a few more leaf shots. I like the colors and the movement in this one and that golden circle ...not sure what it is. :)

Have a super day!!

Okay now how does he do that....just slip the feet and toes here and...... damn !!! there are only 2....hummmmmm

The Paul Simon song isn't particularly apropos as a descriptor for the image except that as I approach 80 years of age, I can feel time slip slidin' away. No cure for that other than to enjoy all that I can.

This is my granddaughter at the age when we were best pals. She loved going to this little park and playing on the equipment and climbing a tree just off to the right. Those were some special days.

Steep Creek Falls joins Rock Creek in the hills above Stevenson.

This little bugger didn't want to play ball today and kept moving further back into the undergrowth, I struggled with the light, hence the high ISO

Last day on Priest Lake, Idaho, a few weeks ago. All the boats have gone to shelter from the winter snow.

While few people realize it, the ARR does own trackage outside the Last Frontier. Not much though!

 

The ARR owns the barge slip on Harbor Island in Seattle that they use as their interchange point to the UP and BNSF and the greater North American rail network. The ownership is actually 50/50 with Seaspan Corp (a Washington Group company) although Seaspan has never used the slip. Over time ARR’s ownership stake gradually rises since they presently pay for all maintenance and upkeep on the structure. ARR’s trackage ends adjacent the nose of the unit (hence the ARR logo on the sign) meaning the railroad owns about one car length on solid ground.

 

UP Seattle based yard crew YSE51R is seen here beginning the process of stripping the weekly barge that has arrived from the 49th State. Three barges owned and operated by Alaska Railbelt Marine (a member of the Lynden family of companies) are constantly cycling between Seattle and Whittier, AK carrying railcars on 8 tracks and containers stacked three high in the racks above. They are truly marvels of modern logistics!

 

Since the ARR owns no yard trackage in Seattle and has no locomotives of its own with which to switch the barge, the UP provides this service since it is the railroad that owns the connecting rails on Harbor Island. At the time this yard assignment was normally just a two man RCL crew, but on barge days an engineer was called and the barge is worked by a conventional three man crew.

 

In this view the UP crew has reached in with their handle (in order to keep the locomotive off the slip itself) consisting of a covered hopper and three old cabooses to begin pulling cars off the southbound ARMS voyage 1023 (the 23rd sailing of 2010). This particular barge is the Fairbanks Provider built by Gunderson in 2001 it is 420 ft long and 100 ft wide with 3190 linear feet of track on the deck and a dead weight of 15,300 tons.

Another image that was taken while on a family trip to Alicante in 2018. An unexpected find which turned out to be a really beautiful area just to North of the town, I've said before it reminds me so much of the coloured formations you see from South and North America. Unfortunately for me, time was short here and this splendid little gully never saw any good light, maybe next time !.

  

I hope you like the image, and as always thank you for looking

 

I'll slip away before they're up. They'll never see. Nor know. Nor miss me. Two autumnal fig leaves seen through the Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at f4. Indoors, five LED spotlights, processed in Luminar etc. Quote is from J. Joyce, Finnegans Wake.
