This photo won second place in the November Photo of the Month in the Wildlife Gardeners forum.
I'm surprised this shot came out with any degree of clarity, since it was taken with the zoom at 24x (plus the 1.5x doubler). Morning light was hitting the weeping cherry tree just right.

While wandering around the hillside in search of the elusive Ptarmigan we encountered some stunning views into Coire nan Arr with the steep sides of Beinn Bhàn and Sgùrr a' Chaorachain prominent - time to switch to landscape mode.

The seemingly endless sunset of the summer solstice allows for some stellar evening shots if the clouds aren't around...
One of the famous Alaska Railroad trains makes their way back to Anchorage.
The 2nd shot from Bird Ridge, later in the evening and using a wider angle to get the mountains. The Coastal Classic train coming all the way up from Seward is led by a MAC/GP40-2 combo.
Another frame of this scene from long ago seemingly in a past life of the only time I shot a train working here despite living only a couple hundred yards away for 10 years! An Alaska Railroad yard job is switching out the two stub ended warehouse tracks accessed via a diamond over the Roundhouse Lead that is right beneath me under the bridge I'm standing on.
This view looks down from the sidwalk of the C Street Bridge as an ARR yard job with GP38u 2005 (blt. Aug. 1969 as a straight GP38 for the Penn Central as their number 7752 and purchased from Conrai and rebuilt in 1986) in the 1980s Alaska bold scheme switches out cars at the warehouse. The building on the left houses the ARR's stores department and they still regularly ship and receive company material by rail. Track components (spikes, anchors, etc.) come up by barge in foreign line boxcars while various other company material is shuttled around the system on flats, gons, or in boxcars. Beyond the train can be seen the bustling port of Anchorage and then the blue waters of cook inlet. On the horizon is the 4396 ft peak of Mt. Susitna, known locally as the "Sleeping Lady" for the mountain's resemblance to a woman in repose on her back. To the right is the abandoned warehouse, which is one of the oldest structures in the Anchorage yard complex and whose fate is uncertain, though I do believe a dozen years later it still stands.

ARR 3007 arrives at the North Pole and in another mile or so will begin the process of switching loads for empties in the minus 20 degrees. I am so glad I had the warm car to retreat to. True professionals at work on the Alaska RR.
ARR (Average Regular Robot) is just trying to lead a normal life in a normal world... he's just a normal dude who doesn't want any trouble.
4th Installation in... I have to start getting more creative!
