With the shadows lengthening by the minute, 66725 Sunderland and 66719 Metroland take the Soham line at Ely Dock Jn., working the last leg of the Norfolk railhead treatment train, 3S01 08.51 Stowmarket DGL - Stowmarket DGL via Diss, Cromer, Norwich, Acle, Great Yarmouth, Reedham, Theford, Ely, and Bury St. Edmunds.
I'd been working in Ely and, with the weather forecast being for cloudless skies all day, had taken my camera with me - probably for the last time until next March. I'd originally planned to go to Manea for some more close-up pictures of the semaphores (including one looking towards Ely, which I'd so far failed to get in sun), but to do those shots requires the pole to be extended close to its full height - and I thought it slightly too windy.
So I came here instead, arriving just in time for 4L13 (ex-Hams Hall) - which I thought was going to stop to allow 4E20 (to Masborough) to come across the single line from Soham, but I realised too late that it was running straight through (as booked) and wasn't ready... but it had no containers at the front, and the copious loco exhaust "blew down", and would have spoiled the shot. But 4L38 (ex-East Midlands Gateway) was running very late and wasn't far behind; it had DB red 66086 on the front and plenty of containers, and made a much better picture.
DCR's 56103 was at March on a VSTP Chaddesden - Brandon working (empty boxes for Saturday's sand to Ravenhead), having been put in there at lunchtime because Freightliner had earlier run a train to Brandon and it was still unloading; it wasn't late, but the schedules clashed - badly! The empties from Brandon set off on time, not long after I arrived here, and once they'd cleared Ely West Curve the DCR train was allowed to continue on its way - four and a quarter hours late! I rushed round to a spot I'd never used on Ely West Curve, arriving there just in time to set up (it was sheltered, so I could use the pole), but only when I got there did I realise the sun was straight down the track (the shot I'd seen had been taken in June, when the sun was much further round at this time of day).
I then rushed back here for the RHTT, but needn't have worried too much as it is booked to be overtaken by an Ipswich-bound "FLIRT", and it did indeed stand time. But the shadows were getting longer as I waited, and I wasn't sure the back of the train would be shadow-free (it pretty much was - I've not removed any shadows from this image). But I had to use a 75mm equivalent lens in order to shoot past the shadow of the bridge.

Back from my trip to The Lakes and missing it already !
Had a real mixed bag of weather from cloudless sunsets, Torrential rain with lightning, low cloud and mist and even a bit of sun. It was so windy at one point there was mini twisters on the water
:-)
This photo is from my first night there , which was the cloudless sunset at Crummock Water. Nothing uninspire`s me more than a cloudless sky, But at least theres plenty of nice rocks in the water to distract from the lack of clouds
;-)
Crummock Water is one of those places though that even if im uninspired for photography its a beautiful place to just sit back and take in the scenery .....
Looked out of my window yesterday & seen some beautiful clouds hurtling past in the strong wind! decision made, I'm heading out with the Big Stopper! By the time I'd got my camera gear & walked to the harbour not a single cloud was to be seen! but I hung around for a bit & some rather nice pastel colours greeted me for sunset!
Good morning everyone and I hope you had a nice weekend. As the title indicates, posted today is the second in what will be an ongoing series on Mondays featuring different butterflies photographed this past season. Featured today is a Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae)...more specifically a female seen here nectaring on a late blooming Evening Primrose.
It was a good year for this butterfly species when considering we rely solely on migrants. Typically I see a few, or only one or two in a given year, some years none. But this past season was a bonanza for them. More than I've ever seen in a single year, probably all prior years combined, and for a solid two months or more from late summer - early Autumn.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great day and week.

Arriving for Air Fete on a cloudless but somewhat hazy Friday.
A cloudless morning greets me and SF Belt 23 as Engineer Hawks takes a notch on their last move of the day. With a 30+ car handle we are getting close to Republic Enviromental's station near the waters edge. Within about 3 weeks most of the SF Bay railroad's switching will be done before sunrise....until time change.
Finally had a cloudless night for the first time in a while. I've photographed this tree before, but never at 1600 ISO in pitch dark. This is 140 images stacked each at:

Not a cloud to be found at Potato Point this morning....
it has taken a lot of convincing not to turn this B&W....
Another great morning with a fab group in Narooma.

Pieridae; Coliadinae
La subespecie senna es endémica delas Antillas, es el Pierido mas ampliamente distribuido en nuestra isla La Española y tambien el mas común.
Vista dorsal, muy dificil poder lograr esta toma en un individuo, ya que siempre se posan con las alas cerradas.

One of two images taken on an extended walk (after the heavy showers) this morning. The colour on the rooves of the containers is delightful.

I arrived at this location in the darkness of early morning. I got out from under the burden of my camera pack and sipped hot black coffee from my Yeti mug while watching and listening my surroundings slowly morph back to life after an evening of slumber.
It was a cold and cloudless autumn morning. I made this photograph as the alluring red-orange alpine glow kissed the summit of the beautiful Laurel Mountain.
