120 Pictures in 2020 #43: Force of Nature

Another spring flood. The river keeps rising, drowning train tracks and yards and parking lots. It used to be that there would be a significant flood once every five or six years. Now, it happens every spring. I think the river wants to reclaim its wetlands from the people who've turned them into train yards and industrial areas. Force of Nature, indeed.

A drawing I did when I was eight. My brother's Legnano track bike...

Seen and photographed on a Vancouver-area Four Thirds Photographers photowalk with Arlene, Christian, Eugene, Evan, Frank, Herman, Jason, Jonathan, and NJ. Above Front Street, New Westminster, BC. November 11, 2012.

This is off the main trail through the forest. I'm pretty sure they're deer tracks.

Frozen tractor tracks....

A little Sunday outing to photograph birds (that just wouldn't behave today!) ended up with me coming across this old Track Marshall 'dozer enjoying retirement high up on the hills near Waituna West.

here's some more archive shots from this past winter. so many track shots, so little time.

The relatively rare cirrus clouds are what brought me back to the refuge, but this line of railroad tracks is very much a magnet for me also. All train tracks are, or many if not most.

The place is the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge in Stevensville, MT

and I made the capture in late afternoon.

No worry here about the safety factor. The Old Valley Line hasn't had any trains on it for a decade. Nevertheless, I always look both ways.

Great Yarmouth, UK, November 2018

The track leading to the Bathing House near Howick,Northunberland.i took this purely because of the stunning sky that was starting to develop after the rain storm had blown through.

We don't have many trains around here anymore, but still have loads of tracks running.

Cockpit of an unidentified Grumman S-2 Tracker, near Vacaville, California in February 1998.

Scanned 35mm color negative.

Would have, could have, should have... but at least I made this photo. This cockpit and all of the other aircraft parts on that property were scrapped when the property was sold in the late 2000s.
