There is nothing like a warm sunny day to lift the spirits especially when you are feeling pretty with these nails from NKolour Splash of color 3 omega maitreya stiletto long maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cherry%20Isle/170/133/2434
Those skyscrappers, the rounded and triangular one, are 49 and 42 floors respectively, and needless to say I was also shooting from floor 49. The opportunities there for compositions are truly endless.
"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.

I always appreciate your visit and invitations, but I really HATE huge icons and awards without comment.

You gotta love those big midwestern skies. We don't have anything like this back in New England!
Here is another frame I liked from around Hawarden when we showed up in the morning. This is the location of an LG Everist (the D&I Railroad's parent) pit and batch plant as well as the railroad's yard and operations base. We were here just after sunrise and would get a chance to see three different jobs moving about while we watched the northbound train get assembled that we would follow up to Sioux Falls.
Here is the road train doing some switching by the north end of the yard and pit area at about MP 27.6 on what was historically the thirty-seventh sub of the Milwaukee Road's Minnesota-Dakota Division in the road's last years.
Leading the train are DAIR 3026, 3030, and 3031 (EMD SD40-2s blt. Mar. 1980 as BN 7285, Jun. 1979 as MP 6052, and Mar. 1975 as MP 3172 respectively.

... 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!

Those are not the caterpillar's eyes, but fake eyespots on its thorax, probably intended to resemble a snake's head and deter predation. The head itself is safely tucked beneath.

This is one of those scenes you come upon and immediately the photo-narrative smacks you right between the eyes.
This was seen in the lower level of the Hennepin County Courthouse. Usually I do my people watching in the vast atrium the floor above, but this scene I saw as I was coming down the escalator.
The woman was very co-operative being engrossed in her phone call rather than giving me the "evil eye" as I composed and shot this scene.
Alabama Hills and the eastern Sierra Nevada,
Inyo Co., California
The rocks are the scene anytime of year, but in fall (and probably winter too) when most of the plants have gone brown, there is little to distract one from contemplating the rocks.
On such a perfect summer day with no fire smoke, it was natural that rail traffic was anemic. Ironically, of the small handful of shots I got, all of them were EMD leaders. What turned out to be the last of the day was this autorack seen from the Harley Road overpass in La Fox. I happened to see them stopped at Peck waiting on eastbound traffic to clear, so I pulled a uie to try out this spot (finally). It seems to have worked well.

I will retire early for the night.And will catch up later for those I wasn't able to visit..
Good night everyone!
Those of you who follow my work know I have a thing for shooting freight under wire. Well this past Thursday I got a tip that CSXT Middleboro based daytime local B727 would be making a relatively uncommon move that was long on my wish list to shoot. B727 runs five days per week between Middleboro and Attleboro on the MassDOT owned and Mass Coastal maintained and dispatched Middleboro Subdivision serving customers and interchanging with the MC along the way.
On Thursdays they normally sneak out on to Amtrak's NEC main at BORO interlockong for a two and half mile shove west down Track 4 to East Junction to work a couple customers on that historic bit of trackage that I've written about in this caption: flic.kr/p/2jck93J
But there is one other customer in the area that every once in a while gets a switch. And on this day after shoving out they reversed direction and ran east a mile to a short twisting lead splitting off just short of Holden interlocking. This lead reaches down into the building of Polyfiber Inc. a subsidiary of Holland Manufacturing makers of industrial packaging, specialty coated and laminated products, water activated tapes and other products.
B726 has run the mile west with three cars trailing three GP40-2s. Just short of Holden they stopped and made two trips down and back on the lead to pull one empty and spot one load before shoving back east through Attleboro station toward East Junction. They are seen here on the rickety s-curve lead track down into the plant that leave main track 4 at MP 198.

When I look back at those evenings where I was scrambling back and forth the lengths of Glacier National park, I only have fond memories of this beautiful heaven on earth wonder! If at all...any of you ever think of going there...please do not think again...just pack your bags and leave...take it from me..you wont regret it even for a second...
This is the magnificent St.Mary Lake with its glacial waters...The sun was just setting to the right of my frame...Instead of going for a direct sunset capture, I thought of using the sunlight to add another perspective..so left Him out of the frame..
Glacier National park is truly a wonderful place to spend your time...and I shudder to think what humans are going to do in the coming years to make the few of the remaining glaciers melt away...One such days where I really want this human race to be done with this world...just like dinosaurs which were really taking a toll on the ecosystem, human beings will soon be selected by nature for extinction and rightly so...I would not mind even if that happens during my time..Only when you venture into such places and hear the things we are doing...knowingly or otherwise do I feel disgusted by my very existence..
Thanks for viewing and I will surely catch up with all your work this weekend! Happy friday :)

For those of you that have seen Patches the squirrel who was suffering from a severe case of mange, he is on the mend. Only one patch of fur missing on his back now. I'm so happy he made it through the winter.
I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.

Those wast that all to me, love,
For which my soul did pine -
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine
All wreathes with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine.
And all my days are trances
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy gray eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams -
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.
- Edgar Allan Poe

From the time I first saw the fox to the time I took this shot was 3hrs, waiting in a smelly ditch, getting eaten alive by insects. But the wait was worth it.
Mural at Apollo Pizza, Lexington, Ky., honors recording artist John Prine, who died from COVID-19 on April 7, 2020. His song, “Paradise,” deals with the Peabody Coal Company’s impact on that western Kentucky town.
I have a new description of Osprey -they're all wings and talons. I'm going to revisit this spot this weekend, hoping to get the same show with better light.
But Polka began to feel a bit scared because they were coming very quickly and soon she was totally surrounded by them!
"What could I do?" she said. She never thought that her imagination could be so powerful! but you know what? at least she wouldn't be bored anymore
