Tortoise
Just an update on my recovery. X-rays during last week show that the pins have been successful in the "ball" of my shoulder and the stress fractures in the clavicle are healing. I have to keep the arm in the sling until the middle of September.
I will try to post occasionally and will endeavour to comment on some of your images, it is not easy and takes ages while I can only use my left hand.
Another day is soon to close for the California Northern. It's been a long day for these guys, with one crew spending the morning unloading the last cut of loads, and the outbound crew showing up early in the afternoon. After spending a couple hours getting the train ready for departure, it was time to go.
The train was originating in Artois, bound for the UP interchange at Davis. The crew this day had a much shorter trip than usual, as it being a gypsum meant there were no cars to set out or pick up. The crew did run into a few problems along the way, leaving Artois they had to run long hood forward at restricted speeds, the original lead motor had no radios, therefore having to pick up a new lead unit, several cars running the gates in front of them, which they got very close to hitting at least one, and a slow order at Yolo. By the time the train reached Davis blue hour would have just passed.
At Yolo, the train approaches the single span truss over Cache Creek. Going only 10 mph, I decided to shoot the train as it approached the bridge, getting the headlights to emphasize the slight grade approaching the creek. The sun was soon to drop below the horizon, and the sky can be seen slowly turning into a vibrant purple. This would be my last shot of the train before heading home.

"Slow and Low" by The Beastie Boys
So let it flow, let yourself go
Slow and low, that is the tempo

I took this shot at Tiffany Creek a couple of days ago. I liked the way that, even though the photograph was a long exposure, the water pattern still caught the speed of the creek's flow which was quite considerable given the recent weather.
The blue didnt quite turn out the way I was trying for, going from a PS tute, but I like the effect I ended up with.

When I introduced 8 month old Moustache last Caturday, I mentioned that he was wearing an e-collar because he lost a fight with the big black cat who lives next door. What I failed to mention, was that it was the SECOND time he had lost a fight with the big black cat who lives next door.
Can anyone say, "dumb as dirt"?
*No dumb kittens were harmed in the making of this photograph. All Pasta had to do was turn around and give Moustache the evil eye and he beat a hasty retreat.
**Actually, I had to lift Moustache off the treatment table since he couldn't beat a hasty retreat with an e-collar on.
Benefits of Slowing Down
There are lots of reasons to slow down:
Better focus. When you slow down, you can focus better. It’s hard to focus if you’re moving to fast.
Deeper focus. Rushing produces shallowness, because you never have time to dig beneath the surface. Slow down and dive into deeper waters.
Better appreciation. You can really appreciate what you have, what you’re doing, who you’re with, when you take the time to slow down and really pay attention.
Enjoyment. When you appreciate things, you enjoy them more. Slowing down allows you to enjoy life to the fullest.
Less stress. Rushing produces anxiety and higher stress levels. Slowing down is calmer, relaxing, peaceful.
The Jungfrau railway
(German: Jungfraubahn)
which runs 9 kilometres from Kleine Scheidegg and from there to the highest railway station in Europe at Jungfraujoch (3,454 m),
between the Bernese Oberland and Valais.
The railway runs almost entirely within a tunnel built into the Eiger and Mönch mountains and contains two stations in the middle of the tunnel, where passengers can disembark to observe the neighbouring mountains through windows built into the mountainside.
The open-air section culminates at Eigergletscher (2,320 m), which makes it the second highest open-air railway in Switzerland

As I lay down in wet grass and leaf litter to make this image I start to realize that this scene speaks to me. It speaks in a way I would not have understood before. A little over 1 year ago I invited Jesus into my life. I gave him my heart and he made me a new one. Because of what he did on that cross for us I was able to take off the old me and be made new. The Cicada has taken off the old Cicada and is new. But it is still sitting there , it has everything it needs to complete its life as the new creation it has become and in just a while it will be doing that. This reminds me of Repentance. Change takes time. Its a slow fade and takes persistence but if we keep trying Jesus is there for us to help us and guide us. The biggest battle of my life has been the last few years.
I am proud of the man I am now.
In James 4:7 it says , Resist the devil and he will flee from you. I like the very next bit. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. THAT is exactly what has happened for me. He has been all I have had for a long time. For my non believer friends I don't mean to be pushing anything on you. Please understand that.

Solent Sunset
A slow shutter speed captured the last rays of the sun as the waves crashed onto the shore.

Slow wandering ↟ ↟ ↟
Slow down your pace to at least half speed, slower if you can. Feel your feet touching the ground. Look at the ground. How much more do you see at this pace? This is a very different way of moving about the world. There is no need to speed up. Everything you need is right here.

A bit too warm to be out walking far. Thought I would play with a much slower shutter speed then what I normally shoot at. Just a series of images shooting slow and having fun.
Walking back down the beach after sunset....I stopped at this spot to capture the water coming up on the sand. I used a 3 stop neutral density filter to allow for a slower shutter speed to slow the motion of the waves.
