I always wanted to shoot on the tracks and so I finally managed to get my cousin pose for me.
Usually m biased towards colors but somehow I like those tracks in monochrome.
In late November I was driving home from a day of photographing hawks at Minesing Wetlands. I noticed this fox as I crossed a rail road track and quickly pulled over. I grabbed the 100-400 and laid down on the tracks. When I did the fox came toward me, so I decided I was better off standing up so I could make a quick retreat if I needed to. I snapped a few pix before the train started toward us and the fox ran into the woods. It was late and getting quite dark so the ISO is 1600 - ugh.
Home is where the hideout is! Boy, talk about building green! These high coutry bangaloes may disappear to true green soon enough. The hillside above shouts rocks and Rocky Mountains not to mention autumn. This new series is not a replay of last year with new edits, I can always sneak out more edits of last year's work any time but not now. In later September, eDDie and Olivia grabbed me and zipped up Boulder Canyon eventually to old and new haunts. This series is from this autumn's captures. This haunted series may include more houses, unseen. These are once again at and near the Moffat tunnel through the great divide. The housing will show up again when the leaves are gone but will you be there? More than that, how will I manage even more fall excursions next year?
The employees and Station Agent (another movie title) for the East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel had short walks to work. The D&RGW RR (Dangerous & Rapidly Growing Worse RR) provided housing for him, his family and other crews allowing short walks to work. I have no idea why someone would need to drive this track to their house instead of walking the equivilent of walking a half a block. Otherwise, I can imagine stumbling around in the deep snow after the night shift, especially for that bottle that was stashed on the way to work. I bet that bottle would never freeze, being antifreeze itself! "Pure stategery," according to Boy George and all other Englishly-challenged. Boy, is Trump making Boy George look like an Einstein! I could recognize nothing of Papa George from his recent tributes. Could they find nearly enough hate to go around? Talk about Chief of Staff, he needs Stormy Daniels to sit in on his staff!
Direct transportation was readily available to Tolland, Rollinsville, Denver and the western slope towns for the odd shopping spree. Here is some housing hing in the aspen. Unfortunately the T-Rump fired all the help up here. They were only jobs. That's OK, they can grab three of Trump's wealth of jobs and still fail to make ends meet. The tunnel facade remains as it was built in the twenties.
D&RGW used to operate the tunnel and the big coal mines (before being taken over by the Koch Bros) near Somerset and Paonia on the Western Slope even though it was D&SL RR (Denver & Salt Lake RR) that inspired the tunnel after years of winter snow fighting campaigns over the Hill Division on the Continental Divide. See my recent Rollins Pass series. Coal shipments will be taking a major hit if we want to come even close to global warming commitments. Denverites were always envious of Southern Wyoming and wanted their own transcontinental route to fuel its growth. D & SL RR operated the big standard gauge Mallets over to the Western Slope and ran many trains over the divide. This shack was a curiosity probably built to accompany the tunnel. It sat in a meadow to the north side of the portal and it caught my eye. My walk turned back toward the portal so I figure it was probably used for the crews that operated the portal in the early days before total automation and all the Magic Underwear shipments to Salt Lake blessed by the Holy Ghost. The crew probably would be ill advised to tip a few before heading home, especially at night! I wonder how soggy the meadow got in the past years.

This is just a cool picture I found. I haven't done hurdles on a couple years and that was my first time in a while. And no, I did not mean to have a thumbs down to my opponents next to me :p
