My artistic objective for this photo was to produce a high-contrast monochrome image in which the main smoke blast is as dark as the locomotive's front end. For this I needed to reduce the smoke's brightness before turning up the contrast on the whole image. Additionally, some of the smoke has been left unaltered to keep a pleasing realistic plume.
Well today, knowing that yogis & yoginis strive to sustain a calm mind even when challenged by external forces, several of my yoga students stepped out of their normal routines and challenged their "pratayahara.".
Instead of the familiar smells, touch, sight, sounds, & taste of James Howell Studio, the yoga class took place at the corner of North Point & Embarcadero Streets.
Pier 39, a San Francisco Tourist Attraction, with more than 110 stores, 12 Bay view restaurants, and a variety of fun-filled attractions became the platform for a deeper understanding of the meaning of "yoga."

AC electric locomotive 87002 'Royal Sovereign' was most unusually employed for shunting the empty stock of the 'Cumbrian Mountain Express' to and from the South Junction shunt neck at Carlisle on Saturday 9th March 2013, and this may possibly be the last occasion that a former West Coast Main Line class 87 stalwart will be employed on such a duty in the United Kingdom. The BR class 87's were built from 1973-75 by British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL). 36 of these locomotives were built to work passenger services over the West Coast Main Line and they were the flagships of British Rail's electric locomotive fleet until the late 1980's, when the Class 90's started to come on stream. The privatisation of British Rail saw all but one of the fleet transferred to Virgin Trains where they continued their duties until the advent of the new 'Pendolino' trains, when they were transferred to other operators or withdrawn. 87002 is the only member of the class still in use in Britain. A large proportion of the fleet have now been exported to Bulgaria and it looks very much as though this last working example may soon follow that way.
