Nebraska’s Crawford Hill is famous for the huge horseshoe curve just below Belmont, but there is another photogenic curve below there east of Crawford. On July 7, 1996, an all-Cascade green consist of two EMD SD60Ms and two GE C30-7s works through the curve on the climb to Belmont pulling a train on a brand new BNSF that hasn’t infiltrated the image yet.

When you can't fly, and you keep falling out of trees, climbing skills are in order.

Thanks for your faves and comments!

As seen on a tiny patch of land, that nature had taken over by the edge of an inner city car park.

Climb the mountain and get their good tiding, nature peace will flow into you as sunrise flows into trees, the wind will blow their own freshness and storm their energy while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of spring

Hill climb.

Another shot from yesterday.

Now here's a wonderful slug of a tree that looks like it has just slithered its way up the slope. Definitely one to revisit when the mist finally returns.

The climb up the Niagara escarpment begins for both of these trains. CP 247-31 ascends the 2% percent grade up the Hamilton sub as CN A43531-31 starts to climb the grade to Copetown. Sometimes the stars align and things work out. Not a bad way to end 2020. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021!

The next five day's I will be over to the other side of the country for my real life job.

So no second life, no taking pictures.and not posting.

This will be the case for four weeks on weekday's.

With a Second Life inventory exploding with stuff to show I have to let real life get my full priority.

In the meantime have fun while you shop until you drop.

67010 makes a fine sight as it climbs the bank at Llanellen heading for Cardiff. I wanted to grab another Class 67 working here before the foliage really gets going. 1V46 14:30 Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Central.

In the rose garden at the Ringling Museum. It was not the best day to photograph the roses because they had just been cut back and fertilized for the growing season, but I managed to find a few to capture.

Some ideas are better in my head than in the actual execution. I guess that is why I keep working at it every day. How is it that some days I feel like I've never picked up a camera before or edited an image? Hoping your rainbows are easing to conquer than mine were today.
