While shooting at Oak Grove Lake with Lieutenant Clouse, we captured some fantastic shots during the "Blue hour."When is the Blue Hour?When looking at the blue hour and the golden hour, the blue hour generally produces the most unique lighting of the two hours. The blue hour is also the most misleading term as it doesn’t even come close to lasting a full hour. In reality, what photographers call the blue hour really only lasts about 20 minutes. The blue hour generally lasts the 20 to 30 minutes just after sunset and just before sunrise. For example, if the sun sets at 5PM, the blue hour would last from approximately 5:10PM to 5:30PM. If the sun rises at 5AM, the blue hour lasts from about 4:30AM to 4:50AM. The exact timing of the blue hour will vary from location to location and change depending on time of year and air quality.
Osprey returned to the nest with some grass to add to the nest...I suppose this will add some comfort for the long day's of incubation that I believe has begun.
Now it's time to sit back and wait for chicks to hatch...there will be the odd chance of seeing the male around if my timing is right.
Other wise it will be hit and miss as far as seeing much action.
As I was leaving work today I heard Pan Am local freight DO-1 getting paper to leave Portsmouth to head back west to the mainline. The 10 mile run at 10 mph from Portsmouth to Rockingham Junction gives me just enough time make the trek from work down to the Great Bay area and get into position for a shot. The Great Bay is a large tidal estuary that flows into the Piscataqua River mostly known by environmentalists for its' abundant plant and wildlife. Although rarely photographed, the former B&M Portsmouth Branch crosses the Squamscott River at the southwesterly end of the Great Bay on a causeway and a pair of timber pile trestles.

While out for a brief period this morning I heard UP's twice-weekly Duluth transfer calling from Tower Avenue in Superior to come across Grassy Point Draw. At roughly the same time a CN light power move called RTC for authority to come down Proctor Hill to Missabe Junction.
I thought there might be an outside chance of seeing both at the Junction given the distances each needed to travel were similar. While waiting for them to show up the UP train called BNSF's Duluth remote job asking what their status was. They said they were about done at Rices Point and would be using the westbound to the paper mill. Hum...
As I stood on the 27th Avenue West overpass next to the sewage plant I watched as the UP train slowly worked toward my position and the CN light power set eased down the ramp into the Junction yard. The CN crew got off to switch ends before heading down the hole track just as the UP train came around the curve. Over my shoulder I could hear the BNSF job rolling west. The stars aligned perfectly with a rolling meet between the UP and BNSF immediately west of the bridge and the CN power still in the shot directly above.
The smell from the sewage plant was ripe, but this meet was refreshingly sweet.
Salt print on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag 8x10".
Salted with 0,8% gelatin, 1,8% sodium citrate and 2,0% sodium chloride.
Sensitized with 10 % silver nitrate.
Digital negative with Easy Digital Negatives (Peter Mrhar) gradient map, exposed for 9,5 min in UV-box.
Cleared in citric acid/seasalt, fixed in hypo and rinsed in HCA.
If alternative/historic photographic processes need patience, so does water drop photography...
Better than before calibrating with HPR, but still haven't found that "oomph" contrast with salt prints. To be continued. :-)
Got lucky in catching CN nos.2520 & 2632 rolling across the Monte Lake trestle with a southbound load of empties.
On Wednesday 23/6/2021, 1471s (empty 1rail grain to Snowtown) is seen approaching Angle Vale road (Virginia, SA) with CLF6-alf22 in charge.
In the very last few seconds of daylight, fresh BNSF and CP power lead SLRG 101 and newly painted/wrapped Iowa Pacific coaches southward on the Belt Railway of Chicago near Lake Street. The Iowa Pacific equipment is heading from Bensenville to work Indiana Transportation Museum's Santa Trains between Logansport and Peru. This vista is courtesy of the demolition of the Brach's candy factory, which stood where the huge gravel lot currently is.
Dwight stopped by work on Thursday. I guess there has been a problem with someone "sniping" his food that I've been leaving out. I guess we will have to figure out a new system.
But it just so happened that I had received a VERY generous donation of coats, boots, socks, underwear, etc... at work that day. I had just put it away in the anticipation that I would need it easily accessible, and I was right. He couldn't believe his good timing.
We were pleased with this first snow of the season back in November, but we have not been pleased with the recent April dustings. It snowed a bit overnight, and there is the possibility of more in the forecast. . So far, April has not been kind to us.

I have been living in Sydney for the past 4 years but I never wanted to take a picture of Opera house in a usual way. We have plenty of them in the internet. But this is something special to me.
Yes, this is a perfect timing for me to be there at this location. On a cloudy day, I thought of taking some Black and White shots. But the Nature has given me a sarcastic smile :)

Louis showing great skills at the scooter park. He was kind enough to perform for the camera and gave some great photos.
I couldn't have gotten any luckier with my timing here, as CN 543 at left (with CSXT 3224 & CSX 468 for power) is backing up at Turcot West, just as CN 323 passes at right, with BCOL 4649, CN 2599, BCOL 4643 and only 22 cars.
I'd been up the field and encountered the local "bird man" again, and I was able to take a number of photos. We said our goodbyes and walked our different ways, and a few minutes later I looked back and saw him and his North American Harris Hawk silhouetted against the horizon.
