well there's been a few shots of the sunrise in Auckland already on Flickr today, here's my contribution - was a beaut morning, the ship was a very slow beast so managed to take out the tiny bit of blur from the exposure.
There was even a seal bobbing around, never seen one in the gulf before and bit to far out for my 10-22mm but so good to watch this seen unfold in total peace with this chap.
(not HDR), colours were quite strong this morning
FG @ 1.6sces f8, sky 1/10 @ f8, DRI,-currently replacing my crap filters even though I did use my 3stop GND on this (not quite enough though)!
Some of the Bristlecone Pine trees in this grove are over 3000 years old. Very slow dancing indeed! Near Wheeler Peak in the Snake Range at 10,000'. Great Basin National Park, NV
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.
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
I had known that Moose were salt starved in winter and would come to drink from salt laden roadside ditch water in spring, but it never occurred to me that they would also come for salty snow at the roadside in winter.
As a result, we were pleasantly surprised to spot two mama moose eating snow along the road - each with a calf. We were careful to keep our distance but clearly they were aware of us. It's such a dangerous place for them to be with highway traffic speeding by. Every year, at least a couple of dozen moose are killed by collisions in Algonquin Park alone - and as many cars severely damaged too. When you see the road signs warning of wildlife, please slow down! They are difficult to spot in the early morning light but for me, I'm like a kid in a candy store when we do manage to see wildlife.
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.

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.
Part of Tywyns one way system. Testing out an old Canon Sureshot Ace point and shoot camera. It has a small waist level viewfinder which is pretty cool. It's plastic ,also very loud and clunky but the lens is pretty decent. A great point and shoot if you don't mind the fact it's plastic and loud.

"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.
This was another one of those days where the weather just wouldn't play ball. Great, fast moving clouds that I knew would create a really atmospheric, long exposure image. But my progress was hampered by squally rain showers that regularly peppered me just as I was set up and ready to shoot. Fortunately, there was a break in the showers that was long enough for me to get a couple of compositions in the bag. Having to work quickly is not something I like to do but nonetheless, I am pleased with the images I got of Cullen Bay in Morayshire, Scotland.

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.

CN 3230 leads loaded coal train C779 west down the Yale Subdivision near Floods, British Columbia. This train had taken exactly 24 hours to travel the 166 miles from when I last saw it departing Kamloops the prior day.
