As the water gently streamed over its next hurdle, it then divided, flowing in two distinct directions.
With spring on the horizon and the 627 soon to be shootable again, here's one from when it was greener (in more ways then one), specifically May of last year.
I only started somewhat recently keeping notes from every shoot outside of my Flickr posts so I don't have much of an idea for what happened on this day. I can see it was a Wednesday, so I presume I had brought my equipment with me that day with the hope that 1462 would lead the 627 west to Aurora that day. Sure enough it did, with a triclops 60M in tow.
I've wanted a shot of a BN leader off of the Pleasant Dale bridge on a sunny evening for a long time and I'm glad I was able to cross it off with this one. Judging by the folder from that day, they must have been making good time as I didn't get back in front of them again until west of Tamora. By that time, the clouds had come in and the sun was gone, so I called it there. Jamison appeared in one of my photos so I know he was out for this chase. Sam, were you there as well? I'm tagging you anyway--I don't seem to get out much unless I'm along with you.
As you can tell from my very infrequent uploads over the last year and a half or more, I have quite the backlog to pull from. I have a process that I go through with cataloging and editing and uploading each image that will keep me sane 30 years from now but is a pain to do every time I shoot a train, so I struggled with the motivation to keep the uploads a regular occurrence. Two weeks after this photo was taken, I was let go from my job, and on top of a lot of other things going on it life, I lost all motivation for pretty much everything, something I'm still working on recovering from.
All that to say, I have a good chunk of photos to upload that I will be working on adding here and there among recent shots. I don't even know what all I haven't gotten around to yet, but I hope to be caught back up again at some point.
BNSF SD60M 1462 leads the Aurora local westbound on the Ravenna Subdivision outside Pleasant Dale, Nebraska, May 14, 2025.
This shot was taken with the same old Leica lens that I used for the shot of St Paul's Cathedral that I posted a few days back. It's a 90mm lens but when I adapt it to use on my Olympus Micro 4/3s camera, with it's crop sensor, it effectively becomes a 180mm lens. Using a telephoto lens that long will inevitably introduce a lot of compression into an image and you see that phenomenon very clearly here. The chimney tower on the right, which stands on top of the Tate Modern museum, is approximately 250 meters away. Meanwhile the slightly taller Shard building on the left is approximately 1100 meters away (distances measured in Google maps). The Shard is 306 meters high, the Tate chimney tower is 99 meters high.
an old but unforgettable photo i did in Sabie Sands, 14th august 2015 .
at sunset time a beautiful young leopard (panthera pardus) male
called "Quarantine" climbed the termite mound next to us and
started watching the sunset.
then he decided to get up and leave.
the scene was too close for my camera lens so i decided to use my smartphone.
a now very old Samsung Note4 did his job .
the rangers were very surprised by this shot and they asked me a copy of the photo.
Quarantine is now a dominant male in sabie sands, this shot is in the ranger office.

Two's company - The maze like limestone pavement of Twisleton Scar End stretching out to Ingleborough in the distance on a bright spring morning. Two ash trees cling to the limestone in this seemingly inhospitable environment.

Two hours old, born in the shade
Pines, poplars, and dogwoods.
A perfect spring morning.
The sun rising over the mountains.
Mother washing her labor of love.
Heifer, in a greedy first feed.

*singing* Two different directions
Too many different ways
One always on the road somewhere
The other one always stays ~ Lyrics: J. Denver
Two Sandhill Cranes jiving and rocking it out in a country field as a stop over for their migration farther north. These fellas sure know how to boogie.
Two-tone BR Green 47596 (D1933) stands at Thuxton (Mid-Norfolk Railway) after arriving in with the 14:00 service from Derehem. The loco had replaced classmate 47580 'County of Essex' which was planned to work all trains that day. However, due to an oil leak, 47580 was declared a failure and replaced by 47596.
Still have our milk delivered and the diversity of bottles all very obvious here.
Just a bit of fun!

Macro Mondays theme : "The First Letter of My Surname"
My surname begins with the letter “T”.
And since I am longing for spring, I bought a nice bouquet of Tulips to get a head start.
These tulips are not as big as the regulars ones. Closed, they are merely 1” in diameter.
Anyhow, I made sure to respect the 3” guideline.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
The iridescent crescent- or tear-shaped spot on the head of these Eurasian teals is green or blue depending on the light.
wintertaling - Eurasian teal (Anas crecca)
The feeding frenzy continues as the marsh seems to be overrun with newly hatched fish. Eagerly feeding on them are dozens and dozens of terns, egrets, herons and gulls. The wading birds stab at the fish with their sharp beaks from the shore but if you want to get to the big schools you have to venture into deeper water. That's where the terns and gulls are feasting. While the gulls have a more dainty approach of hovering over the surface until finally dropping in to grab a fish, The terns dive bomb from 20 feet up and impale fish on their large beaks.
This one shows of its skills by catching two fish at the same time.
and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season
Yeah, we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe
Oh, breathe, just breathe
