Ahhh! Time to give #346 a ride on the new turntable at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado. I imagine the stumble bums (or road apples) will summon forth the effort to push the turntable into a new alignment. Labor would have been thin in the old days.
The old burned out D&RG diesel is parked on the left. I spot the rebuilt C&N and the D&RGW boxes. I guess the C&N is probably older. The Colorado & Northwestern took over after a flood took out the Greeley, Salt Lake & Pacific trackage in Four Mile Canyon above Boulder, Colorado in the spring of 1893, see comments. The D&RGW stands for Dangerous & Rapidly Growing Worse, of course.
As it worked, the staff said Sunday would be more sane, I say barely any more. Everyone at the place got three loops. Only those with sharp elbows got the cupola in the caboose or a ride in the cab. They also do railroad modeling over here but they prefer modeling at a 12 inches to the foot scale. Area and other fans ought to make the trek; take your camera, empty and ready to go! The CRRM log is a Who's Who of worldly travelers. Rides for the kiddies of all ages started at 10:00 AM. Eddie the slug and I were chatting up a storm with some of the unhired help by the roundhouse. I spent time calling out all the hardware to fast Eddie and describing their utility. Knowledge that is too soon lost.
CRRM has done enormous work since last I spent time down there and the library was new. A recent roundhouse and turntable have been built as well as a complete narrow gauge loop for the all too popular steamups. Everything seems new.
A high exaggeration of a simple astro comp I shot near Windy, NSW two years ago. I found time to tinker it around and finally post it, especially when the milky way is not so shy these days.
ELO - Time: Ticket to the Moon (HD Vinyl Recording)
Rivers of words have been written about the event, so I will not dwell ...
I can say that I hoped to see the biggest moon, but it was at the maximum distance, we can not have everything together; )
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations. I go slow, but everything is very much appreciated, as always....

With the 2012/2013 Aurora season coming to a disappointing close, who knows what the 2013/2014 season will hold! So many elements have to align for such an awesome sight to be seen from the west of Ireland. In fact this panorama taken in March 2012 may have been a once in a lifetime event. Delighted to have witnessed it from the comfort of my own home, priceless!

The energy that drives wind originates from the same source that provides light -- the sun. It heats the Earth unevenly, creating warm and cool spots causing breeze. In photography, I enjoy moments when good light is aligned with cloud motion driven by strong winds. As such I was grateful that this morning sunrise in Sheffield would present me with such an opportunity. This is a shot of a lovely Nether Edge house in an idyllic country setting with its beautiful front parkland and early morning light against the moving clouds above. They were thick clouds but every now and then the wind would blow away pockets to allow the blues in the sky to peak through.
Shooting the same locations can have some big drawbacks .. they force us to try to find new angles and takes on things ... New locations on the other hand inspire and enchant us.
Well this isn't a new location .. far from it indeed. but, having shot it a 'few' times from all sorts of angles I was blown away when the fates (and a few years watching storms move over the Illawarra) aligned tonight and pinned the tail on the donkey for me.
Easily one of my favourite images of 2019 so far.

The skewed perspective looking out of a concrete bunker that is sinking into the sand at Warden Point on the Isle of Sheppey, UK. There are three bunkers here that functioned as a radar station and sat on the cliff tops. Coastal erosion has ensured that they didn't stay there.
“Finding Darkness in Rural America” is a new book I’m working on. I photographed this circa 1915 wooden granary in central Utah last week. Unlike today's round silos made of corrugated steel, the 100 year-old style of granary often looked like an unfinished building, with the framework on the outside for strength, and smooth horizontal planking on the inside to hold the grain.

Beyond the fountain, you can see Prince-Regent Street, seen from the viewpoint of the Angel of Peace column, which owes its name to Prince-Regent Luitpold who had it built in 1890.
Para lá da fonte, consegue ver-se a Rua do Príncipe Regente, observada a partir do miradouro da coluna do Anjo da Paz, e que deve o seu nome ao príncipe-regente Luitpold que a mandou construir em 1890.
The ring doves are still waiting at the top of the trees so they can see when food is arriving. These two managed to get themselves into an intriguing pose this morning whilst fog swirled around them.
Tower Bridge is seen beyond the large Sundial Statue in London along the Thames. This is a hand held hdr. I had to hand hold it since I was too lazy to carry my tripod around on this particular day and the security guards get after you if you use one here. The newer cameras are fast enough and the alignment routines are good enough to do a reasonable job, even in fairly low light situations.

The alignment of a community, is how I saw these house floating in the air at the Tulsa Living Arts, hanging by fishing line with white background, added the texture and the lines disappear.

Not a fan of the EXIF data getting mangled from editing. That’s some bullshit.
The Female Red-tailed Hawk adjusts not only herself, but her tail feathers as well, guess they were out of alignment.

Thank you all for your inspiring work and encouragement.
A good morning.

A floating alignment between two balloons - ours and the one you see - and the sun and reflection off of the Nile at Luxor, Egypt. Smoke and haze is visible from early morning field burning. Taken facing East, shortly after sunrise.

A fantastic night for a photo shoot in our nation's capital! A storm ran through the region earlier that day that had just cleared previous to my stay at the Linc Memorial. Ideal conditions for clear skies and color! And the moon decided to join the party. Lucky timing indeed...
