Got very lucky here as the intention was to get a shot of the yellow flowers and the bridge in the background. As I got down low I heard the train departing the station and only had to wait about 30 seconds before it could be included in the shot.
Cool color for this moment in time ... this was just after the sun set and blue hour was taking hold in West Virginia.
Another example of bluestone (basalt) use in Melboune. This stone form of St Augustine's Catholic Church was built around 1870, replacing an earlier 1853 structure. There's a closer view next along << but I liked how this shot highlights the church's survival in the high rise of Melbourne's CBD.
This is Bluestone Lake in Summers County, (southern) West Virginia (about twenty miles from my house). Bluestone State Park is located here as well. And, Pipestem Resort State Park is just a few miles away. Pipestem has an aerial tramway to one of their lodges located at the bottom of Bluestone Gorge.
It's a mild autumn morning at Navigators as K183 erupts from underneath the bluestone road bridge. K183 and A2 986 were sequestered to Ballarat for the annual heritage weekend, providing shuttle trains from Ballarat to Yendon and return.

Spring was crazy busy, and I'll take it! Had a great time conducting several group workshops and private workshops, as well as taking some time to work in some personal shooting. This image of Bluestone Lake, near Hinton, WV was captured while in the area for a few days with several friends. Looking forward to catching up w/ everyone . . . thanks for taking a look, and have a great day!
This cooler toned blue hour capture there at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone really seems to pop. This could be interesting as a high contrast B&W maybe. Might have to try it out.
I thought this would like nice up against that orange sky from the Badlands that was also taken on this trip ... so these two images can compliment each other there in the photostream;))
Bluestone Bay | Freycinet National Park | Tasmania
What an amazing sunrise we witnessed at Bluestone Bay. It's a spectacular location in its own right, however the sky we got was just phenomenal. Not the easiest location to get to, it requires a 4WD to access, but certainly worth the effort.

Pavilion Château St. Gerlach estate - Mecanoo Architects - 2013-2017
Château St. Gerlach is an estate in Valkenburg near Maastricht, the Netherlands, situated in the middle of the hilly Limburg countryside: a unique complex with a luxury hotel, restaurant and spa. Mecanoo Architects designed an elegant pavilion which balances the historic buildings on the site. The pavilion completes the ensemble of the Château (1661), the St. Gerlachus Church (1727), the Farmstead (1759) and the Manor Farm (1668). The estate is now clearly visible from the public road, and has gained new significance for the village of Houthem.
“The design for the St. Gerlach Pavilion features a cantilevered roof with a beautiful curve. The materials used are inspired by the natural surroundings of Limburg: marlstone, bluestone and oak,” said Francine Houben, founding partner and creative director of Mecanoo architecten. “From the pavilion, guests will have diverse views over the château, the hills, the meadow and the manor farm.”
The three large multifunctional meeting rooms in the state of the art pavilion can be used separately or combined, offering a unique location for a variety of meetings and events. The manor farm, a national monument from 1668, has been renovated to house small meeting rooms as well as a café to have lunch or coffee. This new public function serves the local community. An intimate 'village square' between the pavilion and the manor farm can be used as an outdoor extension of the foyer.
