Union Pacific Challenger 3985 is under steam and positioned next to the Cheyenne engine house. Tomorrow, the big Alco will be making a round trip to Laramie.
When this day began, I was comfortably trapped in my chic little Icelandic hotel cabin by snow drifts covering the door that were over five feet high. I heard some scrapping noises and peered out the window next to the door. The ever cheerful English guy in the bright red parka grinned back at me with his infectious smile. With a loud "good morning, Anne!", he waved the tiny shovel that he'd purchased at the Iceland version of the convenience store just the day before in the 'remote' chance that we might be snowed in at some point in the trip. Within time, I was freed into the wildly blowing subzero winds.
Our destination was Reynisfjara, one of the most beautiful and yet dangerous beaches in Iceland. I had seen the videos showing tourists trapped in terrifying sneaker waves on this beach and so I was careful not to get caught in one myself. We had not been so lucky a few days earlier at the beach in Vik which managed to swamp us with a rogue wave of freezing water - despite our best efforts to keep an eye out.
The temperatures this day were so far below freezing that it didn't matter what the number was -it was just bitterly cold. The winds were so strong that I felt that I was pushing against a wall just to walk forward. I took off in an opposite direction from my friends to find a different point of view. Hiking up to this overlook, I found a little shelter from the wind and I was able to set up my tripod and catch this scene just as the morning sun began to light up a bit. The sea looks almost benign in this image but believe me, it was very rough and thunderously loud as the crashing waves landed on the obsidian sands and rocks.
I know that I had a huge smile on my face that morning. I'm smiling right now just thinking about how good it feels to be in places like this which challenge us to thrive in adverse conditions. On this International Women's Day, don't give me a pair of fancy designer shoes, but give me more days like this one.

Wakering Photography Group Vintage Printed Challenge.
Military Odyssey Show Maidstone Kent.
This show of Military Odyssey celebrates it’s 17th year, with groups covering a vast period of global history.
This was an ideal opportunity to capture some vintage images for our groups October printed challenge.
Getting as close as I possibly can on a circuit board, harvested from a remote-controlled power outlet whose remote went belly-up, capturing examples of tiny surface-mount devices, possibly resistors. The ruler scale at the bottom is in millimeters.
Taken with the Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens at 5X magnification. At that setting, the lens has to be less than an inch (25.4mm) from the subject, making lighting difficult. The lens and camera were attached to a macro focusing rail, a necessary but very finicky device (more so at extreme magnification) used to move the camera fore and aft to focus. Given my sometimes uncooperative set of hands I have, it was a challenge, indeed.
Saturday Self Challenge: Surprise
When we saw our 14 year old grandson just over two months ago, he was playing pleasant tunes on the piano, Returning this week, we were amazed to hear classical music wafting through the house. Here he playing the main theme from the movie "Interstellar". A most pleasant surprise indeed.

Saturday Self Challenge; Seat
The challenge for me was not in taking a photograph of the seat but in posting this version with the filtered background. I have a perfectly adequate photograph of the scene but in playing around in editing, found that I could add a filtered background. I'm never sure how much I'm cheating with an effect like this, but its vibrance appealed to me so I've taken the plunge and posted it. After all, it is called a Self-Challenge group...........

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
I belong to a group on Facebook called 52Frames where each week a challenge is give for a certain type of photograph. This weeks challenge was Bokeh and this was my top choice of all the photos I took. You can see a couple that did not make the cut in the comments below, plus the photo from yesterday. I liked this one because of the composition, the softer colors and the ornamental grass seed heads looked a bit like a Fleur-de-Lis. One of the more fun challenges! Next week it will be photographing a bathroom with an extra challenge being a public bathroom which.... Mmm. Not going to happen! LOL

It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.
