On this their first run for the Michigan Northern we find ex Seaboard RS12's 212 & 213 viewed from the M-115 overpass on the south side of Cadillac, Michigan. This run south toward Grand Rapids would not go well as the lead unit kept overheating and the second had so much oil leaking from the block it shut down before too long. It was a long sloooow chase and I gave up at Reed City - August 26, 1978.

On a beautiful late winter morning in Altoona, a pair of pushers are already shoving hard on a westbound manifest beginning it's climb over the Allegheny mountains and the horseshoe curve. To the right is Alto tower, originally constructed in 1915, and retired from service in 2012. It still keeps guard over what is now known as "Altoona", watching endless trains glide down, or throttle up for their heavy pull over one of the most impressive shows in railroading. In previous trips, I had focused so much on other locations with signals, I never photographed here, and I'm so glad Alto was still standing, so I could get my very own shot here.

Happy Easter!
"Now shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Not any track is turning but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
(I need this race!)
Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on it's way
Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait
(I need this race!)"

Another shot from the outing the other day. Its a single exposure but I did make 2 copies of it from raw to bring back some of the highlight on the horizon. Then blended in PS. Used a cokin GND8 in an attempt to hold the rising light but after reviewing back on the PC it i was stil too bright.
Have a great weekend.
A perfect start to the new year. An early night on Hogmanay meant I was feeling fresh as a daisy yesterday so after a big run and a big walk, I headed out to photograph the wild weather. I have a few shots of big breaking waves going over the breakwater but I just loved the moody atmosphere and colours in the sky in the few minutes before sunset. This moment didn't last long at all so I was glad to have managed to capture it. What a great way to get the cobwebs of 2018 blown out of my system! This is Portknockie harbour in Morayshire, Scotland.
Well then! When the Park screws up your campsite reservation, you wind up where you really didn't want to be in the first place, and the weather gods are being fickle, it's not an auspicious start to a trip far from home. I shot this image the day after we arrived and just before the rain started in earnest (I added just a little drama to reflect my mood of the day). We had to pack up again in rain under a big tarp the next morning but after that, the weather gods took pity on us, the sun came out, and we slept under a very chilly clear sky on heated mattresses. Did I mention that having access to electricity while camping is awesome?
Macro Mondays: "Button"
The Start/Stop button in my BMW. It tucked away behind the steering wheel, so this is the best angle I could get.
The image is about 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) square.
From October 20 until 26 I managed to sneak out for a couple of days for some good old railfanning action. Weather forecasts were demotivating, but I decided to try to make the most of it. Letting the weather forecast determine my next destination seemed worth a try. Heading to the unknown was good motivation to eventually head off, after dropping the kids at school. An opening between the clouds would be moving east throughout the day and I decided to follow it, looking for opportunities. Number one was only half an hour from home, as BLS Cargo Nord was heading towards Antwerp withtheir daily Zeebrugge-Antwerp shuttle. On Monday 20/8 it was lead by 475 417. Sun and autumn colors didn't disappoint.

This most clever Halloween display was seen in my daughter's San Diego neighborhood and uploaded for Smile on Saturday! :-). theme: free theme. Hope this makes you smile as much as it did me when I saw it! HSoS everyone!
Start small - these are the 'Small Isles' after all - and work up. Small perhaps and a bit 'out the way' (the Outer Hebrides) but very beautiful. They are a group of islands to the south of Skye in Scotland and provide a richness of delights to satisfy the largest of appetites!
I used a long exposure here to help bring out the cloud textures and movement in the water
