I learned how to make cool lemon twists for this image, so I can use this skill for my next cocktail party!
Milwaukee Road 113A is having an uplifting experience after hitting the ditch on the Ellie Sub. The Bucyrus Erie 250 ton MILW X18 was called to the incident to get the F7 back on track.
The X18 is a 1/29th scale scratch-built, functioning big hook. Building the X18 was pretty easy, adding the cables, well that's a whole other story.

Many people have an opinion on the colours used in this bridge. In this image, I chose to accentuate the colours instead of dampening them. I now have a deeper understanding of yellow. And blue.

I've been out for the week with the Google Pixel 6 Pro. It got cold, it got wet, it got dropped... it kept on working. When you didn't have a camera with you a few years ago, you didn't have a camera. Now you often do. Check your pockets... Camera phones are becoming ever greater with their technology and their adaptability is beyond doubt. How I adore the primal sense of joy created from pulling a phone from my pocket and photographing what is right there in front of me in the moment. Don't get me wrong, the frame well-planned also brings untold delights when things come together, but this isn't always an option and you know it. Here is a shot in the driving snow, taken half way down an Alpine mountain slope. The thrill people were getting headed into the middle of a snowstorm at 3000m altitude is probably indescribable until you try it yourself. Here is the snowy fairground ride, headed up again through the whiteout giving its people a chance for another run. I haven't been skiing in over 20 years, but I think I'll be visiting again very soon with an even better sensor in my bag... better start looking into extreme camera insurance!
This image was taken as a jpeg and .dng using Google's RAW file system. I then used Lightroom's enhance feature to make the file slightly larger in pixel dimensions and then kept it as honest and high key as I saw it on the day. To compare it with other digital DSLR / Mirrorless tools is unfair, but wow how much things have improved in the camera phone market! I hope you enjoy seeing the scene as much as I did scoping it out on my skis and photographing it in the freezing cold conditions.
The slow uplift of the Colorado Plateau created one of Nature's wonders...the Grand Canyon. But it also created many lesser gems along the numerous desert streams and washes that are scattered throughout. This oxbow was deep in the backcountry of the Plateau, making the time spent overnight with the deep silence & the darkest of skies a real treat.
What a perfect way to end my July creativity challenge, with an image signifying how strong the hands have been that have lifted me up. Thank you for showing such incredible support this gorgeous July. I highly recommend that you watch the video for today, as it really sums up my feelings toward my month of creativity.

In short, it was transformative. It seemed like there was always an orange sunrise or a rainbow around the corner when the day was difficult. I always managed to bring a positive attitude when things weren't going my way. 4am never looked so good. Content aside, it has been one of the best months of my life. Content considered, I don't know yet which pieces were keepers and which I'll cringe at in another month, but it's there now and it wasn't before. That is really something.
The 15 Day Content Creation Challenge closes registration doors today at 5pm PST. 40% goes to charity, and you pay only what you can. Join me and the over 500 participants this August as you challenge your own creativity and create content that you're proud of.

I love how the branches of these trees curl upwards. I was hoping for more snow on them but I like the suggestion of snow on some of the branches

Image of mine are you just a myth?
Aiming for the stars and a need to exist
Singing your life to its final bar,
Staging all the scenes to avoid who you are.
Idol of mine will you lead me on?
Build for me the dreams that I'm longing to own.
Make me secure - be my fallacy.
You are all my world if for only today.
............................ ♥ .....................................
My most grateful THANKS to all of you, each and everyone !!!
For your additions, comment & valuable feedback <3

It is an immense fault, uplifted on the western side, that runs over 100 miles through Utah and Arizona. In the northern end it is usually called the San Rafael Reef, further south it is the Capitol Reef (National Park) and further south yet it is called the Waterpocket Fold.
Initially, the western side rose 4,000 feet higher than the eastern side, but time, wind and water have diminished the disparity; the elevational relief shown here is 2,800 feet. Erosion has carved a large number of deep canyons, towering walls, and stunning arches. The various layers of sandstone vary from buff to deep red and layers of bentonite clay add hues of lavender and blue.

This image of a portion of 79 km-wide Ritchey Crater in the Proteus region of Mars was captured by the CaSSIS camera on the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO).
The image captures the crater’s central uplift – raised from depth during the impact event that carved out the crater itself – and a variety of impact-related rocks, or ‘breccia’, which is essentially broken up fragments of the planet’s rocky surface cemented together by finer-grained material.
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter already identified features and minerals in this crater that suggest water was once present here. Ritchey Crater is located at 309.06°E/28.13°S, just south of Valles Marineris, where TGO also just reported evidence that vast amounts of water – in the form of ice or hydrated minerals – is still present today.
TGO arrived at Mars in 2016 and began its full science mission in 2018. The spacecraft is not only returning spectacular images, but also providing the best ever inventory of the planet’s atmospheric gases, and mapping the planet’s surface for water-rich locations. It will also provide data relay services for the second ExoMars mission comprising the Rosalind Franklin rover and Kazachok platform, when it arrives on Mars in 2023.

I don't usually like to get out of bed at 4 in the morning, but decided to give hot air ballooning a try. It started slow in the beginning and i almost thought all the good light would be lost by the time any action started. And then it all began happening at once to the point that I was having a hard time keeping up with all of it. Balloons were taking off almost simultaneously all around me and my adrenaline was kicking in trying to frame my shots and keep things in focus. In the end the whole experience was amazing and I was happy I did it!
At least the road is level, even if it is on three or four different levels.

Really happy with this as it wasn't easy to achieve. Loving the glow too... love it. You'll probably see a lot more of it for a little while.
