Unfortunately, the month of November is known for its cloudy skies which in turn makes it difficult to get sunny shots. As seen here with this M403.
The morning was blue skies, but as the ground heats up clouds begin to form leading to cloudy skies till sundown.
Here M403 is seen running along route 22 in Newark with a pair of Macs about to enter Hillside, NJ.
I chanced upon this horse sheltering in the woods, it seemed ethereal, our glances for a fleeting moment seemed to open a door into each others lives.

Some people still call it "Yellow rumped." I go with those who have re-split the species. Churchill, Manitoba.
Oh, those moody mountains and elusive peeks at those peaks! This was shot in a wild wind, which had me holding down my tripod and loving every second, even when my fingers became numb from the cold.
What an incredible adventure I had in Alaska! Each trip is better than the last and I always return wanting it to last longer. Although it feels great to sleep in my bed again, I just wish for one more day...

Have you ever felt, that flowers are smiling to you, whenever you take their portrait in the Summer season?In your garden? Because I have! Such a joyful, bright, tender smile!! ❤️!!!!!Such a heartfelt emotion in my body!
Therefore, I am going now to share with you, some blooming smiles of my garden, in my current photos! Enjoy!!! ❤️
Those who walk the valley of Yosemite will find themselves encircled by towering granite walls that will leave their mind in awe. Cathedrals of stone are carved by nature, though much envied by worldly religions to replicate in grandeur. Some may find a certain inner peace, enlightenment or spiritual awareness while tilting their head skyward. The church of nature welcomes all who seek quiet contemplation, renewal of spirit, or a respite from the monotony of life.
For those of you still starving for color on a wintry spring day, here's a flower that is in bloom right now, and has been for the past month. Fremontodendron californicum, with the common names California flannelbush, California fremontia, and flannel bush, is a flowering shrub native to diverse habitats in southwestern North America.
It's a tal rangy branched shrub, the one at Bancroft Garden anout 18 feet tall and spreading from to based to resting on the top of a wall. Fremontodendron californicum is found in numerous habitats across California at elevations of 1,300–6,500 feet (400–1,980 m), especially California chaparral and woodlands, Yellow Pine Forests, and Pinyon-juniper woodlands along the eastern San Joaquin Valley.
The flowers are from two to almost four inches across, and are very showy. The problem is that almost all were way over my head, but I did find this one at eye level. This is a bush that truly wants to be pollinated. Look at those pistels!
I've never seen it before, or at least I don't think so. Something with as striking flowers as this has would certainly have gotten my notice. But no, and this bush is at least 20 years old and visible one any wallk to the dentist. Aha! That's why I've never noticed. You go to a foot doctor, and you come out feeling better. You go to a chiropractor, and most times, you feel better. But you go to a dentist, and you don't feel good coming or going.
I do have to admit, I love the city of Vancouver and try to get in there as often as I can. I don't always have a destination in mind, sometime I will just park the car and wander the streets enjoying what the neighbourhood has to offer. Today was one of those days.

Those that follow this site regularly will know I'am usually uploading sunrise and predawn shots of late , but here's a SOOC sunset from a few days back . No iconic native bird silhouettes sadly included .

"May we who are merely inconvenienced
Remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors
Remember those most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home
Remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close
Remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips
Remember those that have no safe place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market
Remember those who have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home
Remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country,
let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other,
Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors.
Amen.
For those of you who viewed my previous photo, this was the view from the main road. As you can see some light trails left from passing cars, it was almost impossible to get the longer exposure without a car going by! Which is okay I guess it kind of goes with the whole light display theme anyhow! lol!

Before posting this photo I was stumbling about a long report of Siena. A female lion, part of the Marsh Pride Lions, who was a star of the TV show BBC’s Big Cat Diary since 1996. A group of lions were accompanied by the BBC team over many years. 2014 Siena got badly injured by a buffalo attack and the healing process (it took over one year because the wound always opened again) where documented by the Wildlife veterinarians who are doing great jobs in the National Parks by the way, caring and take care of the animals when injured. Sadly Siena and other members of the group passed away in 2015. Local farmers poisoned them.
So this photo dedicated this pround animals and in memory of Siena and the other lions.
For those who are interested. Write "The Marsh Pride of Lions" on Facebook and you'll find a site about the lions.
"Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom."
These are the words from Wreaths Across America's (WAA) website noted as "Our Mission". And, it is clearly observed in their commitment to the soldiers buried across the country in the many "national cemetery's" with the wreaths placed against the headstones. However, this is just one of the many ways that WAA remembers, honors, and teaches the next generation about our fallen. Please check out their website for more information about the many ways they accomplish this goal...
Additionally, the location of the photograph above is the Nashville National Cemetery in Madison, Tennessee (just north of Downtown Nashville) which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). More information about this "national cemetery" can be found here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Another one of those amazing SP 80s consist. 5 units, elephant style and quite the variety of paint and models. Growing up in SoCal my favorite hometown railroad was far and away the SP. Rich in history and in the 80s incredibly short of power. Just about anything would show up and often did. Many of those photos I have posted here and I will continue to do so as I digitize my slides. So much fun digging through this memories. San Timeteo Canyon was favorite place to visit. SP GP40-2 leads a varied consist through San Timeteo Canyon that I have long forgotten the name of. 6.88
One of those candid photos where people are not really keen to be exposed. I was taking the sequence while I had some hard looks on me. At least I got the picture I wanted and you know how I like the subway. :)
Thank you all for your appreciation.

We headed down to the Tasmanian east coast last weekend - ostensibly to try out my Nikon F90X film camera. I'll show some of those shots in due course. There is one famous photographer who to this very day absolutely loathes the digital era. But then one can forgive him that prejudice, given that he turns 83 in four days time, and has made a career out of shooting film (over a million and a half photographs) and processing his work with the dye-transfer printing process.
As my title suggests I am talking about the Southern gentleman photographer from Memphis, Tennessee, William Eggleston (born 1939). I would hope Eggleston would forgive my taking this shot with a digital camera rather than my film camera. Being unable to access the processing methods used by Eggleston, I have had to make do with a digital approximation. Believe me the difference in colour is enormous. In film, processing is everything and I'm afraid our local lab is not up to the task of matching Eggleston's colour.
I hope to come back to William Eggleston at a later date, but when I saw this scene in St Mary's I knew immediately it was one of his favourite themes - the rural gas station. Eggleston's aesthetic features ordinary subject matter and the ugliness of modern life. But he does it in such a way that you feel at home looking at his pictures. One pundit has referred to him as "the greatest worst photographer in the world". www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82hTDctWDo&t=74s
William Eggleston grew up in Memphis (and I don't need to tell you how significant this city is in terms of the blues and jazz, not to mention Elvis). And there's a element of jazz-like improvisation in Eggleston's work. He is famous for being the first colour photographer to be given a one-man show at the MoMA in New York in 1976. He is also a rare bird in that he plays piano and has taught at Harvard University (not a combination you expect much from a photographer).
So this is my little tribute to a master and Southern gentleman. I highly recommend you looking at these links about his work:

... make it look like the olive trees are dancing with their arms in the air. No? It's just me, then... :)
And, as you can see, my macro lens perfectly doubles as a walk around, I love it!
Estes troncos fazem parecer que as oliveiras estão a dançar com os braços no ar. Não? Só me parece a mim, então... :)
E dá para ver que a minha objectiva macro serve perfeitamente para uso genérico, adoro-a!

Pat Dougherty is one of those guys who makes mere mortals wonder why they're so lame. At least that's the effect he has on your author. Pat's happily married and has raised three kids, he can sing and act, his "Blues Patrol" Blues Brothers stage show has packed New England venues for 20 years, he's an ASA Certified master automotive technician, but most of all, Pat can draw cars.
No computers are involved, and he isn't the type to obtain realism via retouched digital photos. The only digital aspect of his drawings are his 10 fingers. Everything on the paper comes directly from his inquisitive and detail-oriented mind. Ever since elementary school art class, Pat's had an innate ability to create highly realistic renderings without much training beyond the usual public-school curriculum. But it was during architectural graphics class at Stamford High School (the same Connecticut public school that hatched star-crossed Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane a generation earlier) where Pat says, "My teacher, Mr. Burkhardt, was very supportive and fed my interest with helpful commentary. It took off from there."
In particular, Pat's grasp of the technical sideline of drawing, as described with terms like "fineness of line," "perspective," "realism," "shading," and "proportion" is highly calibrated. Beyond that, his attention to realistic details like factory part numbers, correct surface textures, and—to this writer's opinion—getting the correct rocker panel "tuck under" or "fuselage effect" are what separate Pat's work from that of other automotive cartoonists. Check for yourself: too many automotive illustrators and cartoonists fail to properly capture the tube-like surface development of most automobile bodies. They're rendered with vertical slab sides that simply aren't correct. Dougherty's stuff differs.
After high school, Pat went to work at an architect's office. There, he "discovered the empty feeling of doing work that others took credit for." Following his passion for cars, he left the architect after a year and went to work at Fairbanks Racing Transmissions, a leading East Coast retailer of high-performance automatic transmissions and components. At Fairbanks, Pat did a lot of everything, from assembly to marketing to answering tech questions by phone. Yes, Pat even applied Fairbanks' trademark black tiger stripesoverCaterpillar Tractor Yellow graphics to completed transmissions and torque converters prior to shipment: "We used a template to mask off the stripes." No, Pat's transmissions weren't "signed by the artist," but he took extra care to make sure the paintwork was applied with care. Maybe there's one in your garage or under the floorboards of your hot rod.
After leaving Fairbanks, Pat spent the next 30 years working for AAMCO transmission shops in Connecticut. But through it all, Pat remained active at his hobby of drawing automotive subjects while also finding time to raise a happy family of three. Today, Pat is transitioning into the world of self-employment with a business centered around his hand-drawn renderings of cars and trucks. During the car-show season, he can be found at more than 30 outdoor events, including the Syracuse Nationals in New York, Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in Pennsylvania, and others where he's given spotlight space to do his thing before the passing crowd. We visited Pat's Stamford, Connecticut, home and studio for a look at his work. If you dig what you see, Pat sells reprints and is also ready to render your vehicle in his unique cartoon-realist style.
