CSX local L400 calls a slow clear out of the yard and siding at West Skillman as they had for the Big Rivers Industrial Park to work Southwire, Watco, and Precoat Metals. GP40-2 6045 is leading today, after the crew dropped CSX 800 off at the office.

Who among us that shoot moody urban photos can resist a ghastly looking parking garage? They're so cinematic that hardly a film made in the city doesn't invariably end up with a dimly lit car park scene for a car chase or shoot-out, or both. Perhaps it's low-hanging fruit for filmmaker and photographer alike, but... As I said, how could I resist? Seen in the Docklands region of central Dublin.
Slowly I turned, and step by step, inch by inch, I walked up to him and I "photographed" him! A line made famous substituting the word "smashed" him, from Abbott & Costello, plus other Vaudeville acts. Yes slowly I moved, in order to get closer while this Heron enjoyed the sunset.
Others watched as I got closer, as they quietly talked about all manner of things. But this fellow just kept looking on, as the colors rose and fell in the sky. However, this is the one that got away. With my finger on the trigger I missed the shot. He yawned, and I missed it. But, this one of his silhouette is not too bad in itself.
A wonderful view along the Legends of Superior Trail (L-O-S-T) on route 60 between Miami Az and Superior Az.This is a seldom used trail (very easy) with spectacular scenery.

"My face above the water
And my feet can't touch the ground
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon
Every time you are not around
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the wave"
While most of the northern states, and Canadian Provinces have already had their first snowfall of the year, the coastal region of BC has been blessed with positive temperatures and near constant rainfall instead. In spite of this, I set off this past weekend to shoot the Fraser Canyon. Train activity was quite slow for a Saturday morning, so I was forced to pivot from my plan to stay on the 'CP' side of the canyon, and instead go wherever the traffic was moving.
After hearing that I would have an extended drought of eastbounds running up the Cascade Sub, I headed over to the Yale Sub to wait for the next westbound departing Boston Bar. A new location that was on my list, was on the east side of the Chapman's Bar Tunnel. Credit for figuring out this location goes to Ryan A, who shot a great scene here a week prior. (Thanks Ryan!)
Above CN M311 winds its way through the curves between Komo and Chapmans, held to restricted speed on account of a slide fence under repair.
Is there anything more iconic than a canoe framed in the blue water, surrounded with trees? When this opportunity presented itself, the chance to capture the situation was absolutely ideal. The colours were in place, and the position of the sun, was just right. It all delivered a terrific story about this place.
A pleasant way to travel in the form of a canoe, and a pleasing background to view.
MRL's Day Gas Local approaches the town of Plains on the return trip back to Missoula, Montana with a buffer and twenty-four empties in tow. A unique SD45-2M & SD70ACe duo are in charge as the engineer eases it down to 10 MPH and blows the horn for Maintenance of Way crews just to the left of the frame.

So I have booked a few days off work and thought a trip to Newborough Beach was in order. I have recently invested in a Hoya ND8 filter, I have the ND110 but sometimes 10 stops is just too much and you lose some of the motion. This shot was taken with a strong grad filter on the sky too; the grad filter really helps balance the metering between land and sky, something that is often hard to manage.
Of course you can take a series of shots and merge the exposures together later but getting it into one shot feels better to me.
This shot was taken at the far end of Llanddwyn Island.
As always thanks for looking and comments are always very much appreciated.
The Cass Lake Local slows down at station sign Simplot outside of East Grand Forks. The BNSF City Job is heading back to the yard in Grand Forks after working American Crystal Sugar plant among other switch jobs in East Grand, so the Cass Lake Local will follow behind them into the yard.

I went out to the heath today, the first time this year.
I turned over a tin today and found a nest of Slow Worms, I have never seen this before I have often seen 2 or 3 or even 4 together under a tin, but here were 10 all rolled up together getting warm, how amazing is this
I also saw 5 Sand Lizards, 3 common Lizards and 2 Adders, oh and another 8 of these, well worth the visit
This plane was built with ores that came from the earth. Slowly the smelted metals are breaking down and being re-absorbed into Mother Earth. 73 years it has survived here, so far. The white shiny metals in the background are mostly as shiny, almost mirror like, as the day they were made, the rest is breaking down just like rusting is dissolving into grains as you can see bottom left of the picture.
There are parts big and small scattered over a large area. The remaining big chunks are the undercarriage and the engines. But there are sections of 'skin' metal I found hundreds of yards to the north. They might have been carried by souvenir hunters, and put down when they got fed up carrying them, but those I saw I suspected were blown there by the wild winds that I'm sure will frequently blast the top of Bleaklow. But if someone wants a challenge, see if you can identify what part of the aircraft this is. This might help you www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=ueBW5vp... But not much! PS. I don't have the answer!

This abstract landscape represents transformations, travels and transcendency. Everything is connected and moving by the element of water. The horizontal water level is crossed by the verticals of the growth and direction of vapor. The concentric transparent-darkening pots may remind you to edge of the drying puddles....or the coffee lines left on the side of your cup, after every sip.
The trees are the ones who connect.
I'd rather let you look at the painting and put yourself into it. Have a wonderful journey exploring!

With CN rebuilding 90s power left and right, the Coronado Subdivision is slowly starting revert to what it was long before my time - a line where SD40s ruled the rails. The big, fancy, modern AC units are too big for the over century-old branch line, leaving CN with little to no choice but to run the vintage power. I, personally, have no problem with that.
