I sequestered myself in Powell Library one afternoon, desperate to get some work done on a U.N. paper I was ill-equipped to write. Needless to say, I devoted more attention to taking this picture than to my paper.
A crew member from our West Santiam Junction crew stacks sand in the maintenance yard. Mt. Hood is in the background.
This water was ice cold but I got so into what I was doing that I was calf deep in it for well over an hour.

Somebody must have spent several hours building this incredible rock tower in the middle of the Poudre River last weekend. I didn't expect to see something like this, and didn't have the equipment with me to do it justice. By the time I came back at the end of the day, it was gone. Cache La Poudre Canyon, Northern Colorado. September 2008.

South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.

Chad got that terrible cold that's been going around. I suffered it too, about a week ago, even being sent home from work two days in a row for being such a "feeb" (as Lisa called me). Sucked! I am never sick! Like seriously, only once every 2 years!
Poor Chad, he was coughing so much last night. But he was keeping me awake so I had to go sleep on the daybed in the front bedroom at 2:30am. Here are all the pillows stacked up out of the way.
Stack of Pelicans. Pacific Ocean Coast, California. May 15, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A vertical column of pelicans stacked one above the other along the Pacific Ocean coastline of California.
On a slow night this week - while waiting for a new hard drive to get backed up - I want back through some more raw files from the first half of 2010. Almost invariably, when I go back through older collections of images I find at least a few things that seem interesting to me know even though they didn't really register at the time I shot them
I have previously shared some other photographs of these magnificent Pacific Coast birds that I made on this mid-May evening along the Pacific Coast Highway north of Santa Cruz, shooting from a bluff locations that I often return to. At this particular spot, when the conditions are just right, birds coming north up the coast and coasting on updrafts along the cliffs often climb toward the top of the bluff and frequently turn inland a bit right here as they come around an outcropping. That is what happened with these pelicans, who were coming almost towards me and were flying below my position on top of the bluff, creating what looks like a vertical stack of birds. How thoughtful of them to line up so that they fit perfectly within a 3:2 ratio portrait orientation frame! :-)

BNSF 3811, a ET44C4, leads a stack train through Oregon, IL on a Saturday morning. This is only one of many stacks to pass through Oregon on the BNSF Aurora Sub each day.
Lots of stackers (Again), some grainers, and a few boxes, but also some great pieces.
Anybody ready my descriptions? I always wonder..
Finally got out of the house around noon after wavering between going out, or staying in..., to drive out to one of the local yards to shoot some freights, and finally get to check out their railroad museum. Blue skies, a little wind (7MPH) and I'm guessing like 70F. Perfect day. Sorry for anyone back East who are going through extreme cold weather. The museum was really great, and I'll have to go back and spend a bit more time looking around, and maybe taking some photos/video so you guys can check it out too. Only stayed for a couple hours today.
This yard I only have a platform that's about 15 ft. wide. The first track, the trains run about 6 in. from the edge of the track, so in order for me to catch a whole car, including autoracks, is to use a super wide angle lens. I've been using this crazy wide, $140, 7Artisans 7.5mm "Fisheye" lens when I go here. Sometimes I correct the fisheye look, sometimes I don't. I did a bit of correction on today's photos. Just cropping, straightening, and lens correction. No color. Lens is fun to use, but that fisheye!!!!!!!
They're not perfect, and you'll still see distortion... Still, caught some great pieces, and had fun, and isn't that what it's all about. Getting out of the house, away from work and seeing some great art rolling by. Any day you can go out and see some art makes your life better. Get out and bench!!! Don't just look at photos online. Go out to your local tracks/yards, and hang out for a few hours. See the cars up-close, feel them in your feet, smell the brake dust in the air, and hear how loud they actually are when you're not in your car with the windows rolled up waiting to cross at the RR crossing.
Towards the end of my visit, about 25 foamers showed up like really quickly to shoot what I found out was a "Special" train rolling through today. Something to do with next week's Super Bowl. You'll see the photos in this set, it's the three 25th Anniversary engines, stickers and all, along with 10-15 silver luxury people cars. Why three engines for only 10 or so cars?? I Dunno. I have video of this line I'll upload at some point. It really was quite amazing seeing this roll through. Like 3 minutes after it was gone, there was nobody left at the rails but PasadenaSub Colin ( www.youtube.com/c/pasadenasubcolin ) and myself..
Thanks to all of the writers. Stay safe out there, both writers, and fellow benchers.

Largish springtail - Orchesella villosa (~4mm), on the underside of a piece of bark. I leave these bark strips out to attract them.
Eighteen images (at F6.3), combined with Zerene Stacker. Worked quite well, except for rear end.
Canon 1D3 + MP-E 65mm Macro (at around x2.5) + MT24-EX Flash (-2/3 FEC). I should have used a slightly lower magnification really, to get better "framing".

Stacks

Smoke stacks atop the Biological Research & Diagnostics (BiRD) facility, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
The uniformly clouded sky hung like a middle gray backdrop behind the stacks and they practically begged to be photographed! Like a small, close-knit family, the individuals seem to crowd together for safety against a tall, slender father figure who has braced himself for a coming storm. I enjoy anthropomorphizing objects in my surroundings through photography.
Equipment: Sony A700 camera, Sigma 75-300mm f/4-5.6 APO lens.
