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.
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.

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.

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.

...with whatever these spiky green things are...anyways, an early HGGT to you all! ( I got's to get up way early and work way late tomorrow!!)
My load today out of Phoenix fell through, and nothing else ready today. Anyway, used some of my time catching up a little on Flickr and a little on editing a few pictures.
I like how this Upper Antelope Slot Canyon shot came out, at least when viewing on my laptop, on the phone not so much.
Took a lot of pictures this day back in October of 2016, but haven't really posted that many of them, so guess I've got enough to spread out over the next few years.
Trying a new edit program, Luminar 3. Happy with Light Room, in fact used it some with this as well as the Luminar. Love Topaz, especially AI Clear, but nice to have options.
The sun needs to be directly over head to get sun rays in the canyons, and then it only lasts for a short time, plus the sun is only directly overhead a couple of months a year, May and June I believe. Well this was taken in October, no direct overhead sunlight. That's where Luminar comes in. It's got a really neat sun rays tool, very versatile and lots of control. Once I got the sun rays the way I wanted, I worked on the bottom area to make them look like they were hitting the sand directly below. That was the hardest part. If you're a purist, sorry to disappoint, but I'm trying to make mostly realistic looking images, but don't feel guilty about how I get there. I want to make my pictures unique and hopefully beautiful or at least interesting. So for me it's about artistic license, not a SOOC documentary of scenes. I could do that with my phone.
Well, gonna post this, go get some dinner, then more catching up on Flickr, then beddie bye.
It was a pretty good morning chasing some trains on the UP as they actually ran some eastbounds with clean paint back to back. I was going to go longer west but a quick check of the parked train at Linwood forced me back east in a hurry. I've been wanting to catch one of these new image units for a while now and I have been out of town the other times they came through.
New image UP 8366 rolling east at MP 24.25 on the UP Kansas Sub this AM shortly after sunrise with a loaded coal bucket. I'm still not sure what I think of this scheme so far. I like the look of the 'medium' sized shield on this one vs. the larger shield on some of the others. Kinda reminds be of the endless fleet of SD40-2's back in the 1980's.
