BLOL 7591 (ex NP GP9) & BLOL 7504 (original IC GP9, now a GP10) loading grain cars for the CN up in Charolette, IL. This was back in 2017 when it seemed to be easier to catch matching set of Bloomer power & catch bigger trains. Still to this day, I love shooting these guys.

I had no plan to shoot any Union Pacific on a trip to the Pacific Northwest wine country but decided to take a quick look at the railroad along the Columbia Valley on the way back to the hotel in Walla Walla. When UP ran a train, I felt obliged to find a shot. This is in a scenic section just east of Wallula Junction where the railroad and highway curve along the edge of Lake Wallula. With all the hydroelectric dams, the river is really just a series of controlled lakes. The railroad does curve around in the front of the shot and the pole is part of the railroad;s code line.

A westbound Union Pacific double stack train approaches Norden as the dense Sierra fog begins to roll in. Looming over the scene and above the fog bank is Mount Judah, under which Union Pacific's Sierra crossing tunnels under the mountain by way of the 10,365' tunnel #41.

Typical scenery from South Downs National park near Brighton, Sussex.

Looking up at the sky from the marina area at Llandanwg beach.

  

Llandanwg Beach sits between the towns of Barmouth and Harlech on the southern side of Tremadog Bay. It is also part of the wider Snowdonia National Park and situated close to the pretty Afon Dwyryd estuary.

 

The sand dunes to the back of the beach conceal the tiny church of Saint Tanwg which dates from the 13th century. A small path winds through the dunes and leads you to the beach from the central car park area or you can take a trail from Cardigan Bay. As you sit on the pristine sands you will also be able to enjoy vistas of the rugged Rhinog Mountains in the distance.

 

The beach here shelves gently into the sea making this a good place to swim, although there is no lifeguard so care should be taken. When the tide is low, it reveals a causeway out to pretty Mochras which is also known by its local nickname of Shell Island due to the plethora of different hued shells found on the its beach.

 

Due to its strategic position, Llandanwg Beach is shielded from the well known Welsh winds which can be a little fresh at times meaning that you can enjoy this area even in the off-season. The beach is also well-loved by locals including fisherman who come here for the plentiful supplies of bass, mackerel, flatfish, and dogfish. With that in mind keen anglers will find plenty to do here, or you can explore dainty rock pools or simply go for a stroll on the soft, pristine sand.

 

Amenities at Traeth Llandanwg include disabled access and the village is also home to the quaint Y Maes Cafe close to the beach which operates from June to October.

With the meet complete at Chaska, UP 1943 has no trouble hauling empties west to Buffalo Lake. You know its spring when there are lost of puddles around, and some make for reflections, seen here in the foreground.

Hit of the day: A Country Girl In Paris - John Denver

Fog was the name of the game this AM and it was crazy thick in spots and in other places like here at 26.5 there was a sucker hole that you could shoot through.

A monochrome image featuring a row of bicycles parked at a rental station. There are about 30 stations with 200 bikes to rent in the greater Des Moines metro area, but at a brisk 20°F this morning, the demand is very low. All the bikes are here, all lined up. This rental station was photographed at E Grand Avenue and Robert D Ray Drive in downtown Des Moines, Iowa.

I’m now already for more then four month in Hamburg but didn’t shoot a lot here… I guess that’s just how it always is during a masters thesis ;) Nevertheless I enjoy shooting and being a little creative even more…

 

This image probably isn’t any special and I guess most of you have seen this before. But it could stand for my actual life… everything is a little different now which it’s kind of cool ;)

Managed to get quite the close-up shot of this little guy with my 24-70mm. He wasn't shy at all!

This is a close-up photo of lichen patterns on a rock in Pine Grove Park in Milton.

We're almost in the back bay, and the sky is getting brighter. Somewhere up ahead, the sun is hitting the treetops. Exactly when the sun 'rises' depends on how high the hills are to your east at the moment. In a kayak, as you move forward, you can literally paddle into the sunrise.

Roses in the Sunshine.

Don't tell me this doesn't remind you of UP 😂

With a thumbs up from the friendly hogger, also a friend of mine, repainted blue devil IC 2458 leads train 406, as they approach Passekeag, New Brunswick on a beautiful Fall afternoon.
