#58, the northbound City of New Orleans, is running several hours late as it meets L536 south of 39th Street interlocking hot on the heels of the northbound Saluki.
The scene is dominated by the derelict Five Ways Tower. This notorious monstrosity has been abandoned for 18 years (due to "sick building" syndrome apparently) and is a seriously ugly blot on Brum's skyline - it needs demolishing!
Over to the left of the image is the Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower (sometimes known as Old Joe), situated on the campus of the University of Birmingham. Old Joe is the tallest free standing clock tower in the world, and stands about 100m tall. It was built between 1900 and 1908, is Grade II listed, and is one of the most recognisable features of the Birmingham skyline.
Formas extremas están de vuelta
Lugares extremos que no sabía
Me rompio todo nuevo otra vez
Todo lo que me pertenece
Lo tiré por la ventana, vino a los de
Formas extrañas que sé se separan
Los colores de mi mar
Color perfecto

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times Ive cried
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
(The Beatles, The Long and Winding Road)
Drove a ways to get a nice dark sky. Comet NEOWISE will be closest to Earth on July 22-23, 2020. It will pass at some 64 million miles (103 million km) from our planet.
Hope folks aren't tired of seeing this yet.
Hold onto the light, despite the dark night. For the old ways will return to sabotage what's bright.
A perfect early morning among the singing birds and trees coming back to life after their winter slumber.

The rocky shoreline is really exposed during low tide making way for great foregrounds. However, at high tide the shoreline changes somewhat. Instead the ocean begins to move inward and fills the area covering rocky formations and hiding what was once visible.
In this scene I was perched on one of the taller banks on the shore and prepared my composition. As the waves came crashing in I liked how the water would meet up in the sandy area below, swash around for a bit and then return out to sea. With each consecutive wave the water would meet, do its Tango, and then go their separate ways.
Sad, say, the ways we loved like stones—
No courting dance, no feathers
Or gesture. But then nobody asked
For more than favors or strange luck.

I dont have much time these days and the fact that I am playing human revolution (which was more troublesome to shot than I thought) isnt helping with screenshoting, so here is a shot I forgot to upload when I played black flag some weeks ago.
On 18 August, 2008 was like any other summer monsoon evening. I started out around 7 P.M. to try and catch a few lightning strikes. I postioned myself around the new Cochise County Courthouse Complex in hope of catching a strike using the building as a measure for depthness.I had some luck this past summer doing this with other objects. The storm's were passing through on the back side of the building and heading southward. I had captured two or three lightning strikes earlier in the evening from this same location. Around 9 P.M. I was about to call it a night when in a matter of a millisecond this strike happened. When the image appeared on my LCD I suprised how much detail there was in this strike. It was the last lightning strike that I saw that evening. I feel lucky, or call it fate that I stayed as long as I did, or I would have never gotten this shot.
Sometimes one looks up and all the elements seem to suggest that just for a moment you found yourself in the right place at the right time. At least that's the thought I had when finding this neatly laid out for me the other day wandering about after the snow...a seeming conspiracy of sorts to challenge the eye and compositional capabilities available in a brief, fleeting moment. I also thought at the time that the image might just make a decent black and white, the result below showing more potential than achievement in that it was simply a one-click procedure of conversion from the original. I'm certain it could be much better, thus the lead of the color version.
The scene also brought to mind the lead lyrics of a favorite song:
Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun...
To all my favorite valentines...shine on...
