One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Familiar".
Shot with a "Tomioka-Copal 75 mm F 2.8" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
I could write something about life's twists and turns and that what is most important is the journey itself rather than the destination we aim for; but looking at that road all I wish I had at the time is a mountain bike.

Ever wondered what this world would be like if everything was "Turned Inside-Out"? or In Reverse??? I do....All the time. :)
Lately the BNSF's Grand Rapids Turn had been operating with an H1 and a BN SD40-2. Of course on the day we went after it, the H1 unit was in the shop and an H3 GP38-2 was substituting. The train is seen here departing the south end of 28th St Yard, with the Cascade Green unit tucked safely behind the blah leader. Oh well!
One of several islands on this stretch of the River Tees offering the best vantage points to view and photograph Low Force waterfall. Unfortunately the river level prevented access this time although it did give me another opportunity. This is a double pano of 12 images (2x6) at 16mm hand held.
BNSF GP60M No. 123 & SD60M No. 1411 work the Lind turn south from Spokane through Marshall Canyon at Scribner, WA. 24 April 2023.
"SUMMER ROADS
There are blossoms on the hawthorn
That scent the morning breeze
And the oak and the ash and the copper beech
Are covered down with leaves
And the road is white in the morning light
As it runs down from my door
And the lark is high in the golden sky
And I'm on my way once more
Down Summer Roads all full of turns and bends
Summer Roads that lead to all my friends
Summer Roads by summer streams
Where I live all my winter dreams
And the good times always start down Summer Roads."
- - lyrics by Tommy Makem
P.S. If you view in LARGE the sense of being in the forest is enhanced.
While not we intended to shoot on the West Tennessee Railroad, it still turned out to be a good show from these old General Electric four axles. Three B40-8's and two B23-7's lug a 150 car train south from the CN interchange at Fulton, KY somewhere near Greenfield, TN.
i was walking past a laundromat on calle de hortaleza. saw this man and thought: if only he would turn around. and then, at some point, he did.
A crop duster hard at work, shown here executing a steep, banking turn in preparation for his next pass over the field.
According to the caption on the slide this is a Stambaugh-Escanaba job but it is most likely the Antoine Turn that is powered by 6726, 6716 and 6720. It was shot on October 5, 1979 at Antione yard in Iron Mountain. No photographer to credit, Chuck Schwesinger collection.
one can see the work done
Die Landschaft wird braun.
Man kann die getane Arbeit sehen.

A Southern Pacific train runs through the turnaround loop at West Colton Yard in Bloomington, California.
This trio of faded warbonnets (Santa Fe C44-9s 632, 620, and 643) has become a St. Louis area foamer favorite. Here, it leads the "Madison Turn" back to BNSF's Lindenwood yard, passing Terminal Railroad's closed Tower 1 in the process. In the background is the iconic Gateway Arch, located on the grounds of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial.
Several probably hotter trains were held up at Q Tower for this move.
I have posted three shots in a row of this family. The first one was the mother on the chase that ended badly for the cheetah family, but good for the prey.
The next was two of the young males chasing a baby impala. It was obvious that that was going to end badly for the impala, which it did.
The third was two of the young males not willing to share.
This is the same family later in the same day. The mother killed this adult Thompsons Gazelle and she is now attempting to drag it to safety away from leapoards and iions.
Clearly the young males have already had a taste and aren't much willing to wait any longer.

Rio Grande SD9s No. 5308 and 5309 shove caboose 01470 through the yard in Provo, Utah the afternoon of October 24, 1977.
The crew had completed a Provo - Roper turn, and were shoving their caboose toward the cab track near the locomotive maintenance facility, where the crew will tie up for the day.
A Vermilion Flycatcher signaling for a left turn. Always good to know which direction they are going to fly. Early morning light.
WNYPs Driftwood turn heads south along Gardeau Rd between Keating Summit and Emporium on an absolutely perfect Autumn afternoon in northwestern Pennsylvania. Oct 12, 2015
Somebody said, and this is what it looked like. Just an amazing scene of steam off the pellets, brake smoke and dust, exhaust in the distance all highlighted by the rising sun.
The uniformity of the ore cars always looks neat through a telephoto lens and that's just accented by the lighting conditions. I can still smell the hot brake shoes when I look at this.
The last thing I wanted was the light to start playing these tricks on me but with a five hour drive ahead of me I had to leave soon all I had to do was to turn my back and go.
Turn: please turn...
I had been watching this osprey for some time circling in very bad light too high and far for a good photograph.
Suddenly it moved closer and into better light very purposefully - and then swooped down towards me. I was tracking it certain that I would get a good shot of it catching a fish or at the very worst a shot of it banking and flying back up.
But it just kept swooping faster and faster directly towards where I was standing. and passed so close over my head that I instinctively ducked. Note that this shot has not been cropped, and I was not able to keep in frame after this.
When I turned to follow it I realized that it was intent on challenging or perhaps greeting another osprey which had flown in behind me and was now beating a very hasty retreat. I watched them flying fast until they disappeared behind the trees so I did not see if there was further interaction. Still it was an exhilarating experience to have this large raptor swooping straight down on me.
