Local tracks are often rough and used only by freight trains traveling at very slow speeds.

The tracks were ice where water flows down from the hill which I took advantage of to make a lead in line. We don`t get snow very often so when it does fall here the country falls into chaos, trains planes everything pretty much comes to a standstill, down this way it is not worth investing in the heavy equipment to clear large amounts of snow.
This is the North side of Cissbury ring which was in deep shade at the time but the sun was lighting up the landscape so I had to bear in mind my exposures in the Histogramme at all times.
Went around the local area to enjoy the peak fall colors. Just next to Saluda, NC paralleling Pearson Falls Road are these track tracks. I liked how they went into such nice fall colors in the trees.

In the distance are the Ruahine Ranges which before long are likely to be coated with winter snow!

A buddy and I met before the crack of dawn on Saturday to go shoot in downtown Los Angeles. Almost the middle of August, and we're still stuck in June gloom, and no way we were going to get any decent sunrise shots.
There was still no shortage of sights to see, including this 106 year old landmark.
This is Angels Flight in Bunker Hill -- dubbed as the "World's Shortest Railway." It was built in 1901. The funicular system of two counterbalanced cars moving up and down parallel tracks was an efficient means of transporting passengers along the steep grade between Third and Hill Streets and fashionable Bunker Hill. The ride lasted one minute and cost one cent.
Currently, both cars are in storage and hopefully scheduled to reopen sometime this year.
