Rolling down the east side of Tehachapi, a long heavy lumber freight is on the downgrade to Mojave passing through the station of Warren. All eight units - four Tunnel Motors, three SD45s and an SD40 are on the head end. The Joshua trees in the background are in markedly poorer condition today!

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

Every time I drive out to San Juan Ridge I pass by these dilapidated structures. This time I decided to pull out and take a few shots. I veered onto the shoulder and cut the engine and was about to exit the car when my daughter pointed out that I had parked right in front of my intended target. I got back in the car and a little sheepishly started to pull the car forward. It wouldn't move, and the wheels started to spin as if they couldn't gain traction. I thought I was stuck in the mud. I held that thought until my daughter pointed out that i had neglected to remove the emergency brake. I hate it when that happens.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to all who celebrate! In 2021 it’s the “Year of the Metal Ox,” which hasn’t happened for 60 years.
Friday, 12 February 2021: our temperature is -20C (windchill -30C) shortly before noon. Sunrise is at 7:54 am, and sunset is at 5:47 pm. Overcast. Just two more days before the weather warms up! The Extreme Cold Warning has now been lifted.
We are still under an Extreme Cold Warning. Haven't even opened my front door in a few days now, as I have no intention of going anywhere in such frigid windchills. I'm always conscious of the fact that if my car broke down or got stuck in snow, it would mean that someone would have to come and help. I wouldn't want to force that on someone in these temperatures, even if it is their job! Also, they could either boost my car or tow it, but the AMA is not allowed to have a passenger during COVID, so I would be stranded.
The five photos posted today were all taken on 18 July 2020, when I drove SE of the city in search of a ghost town. I am adding the description that I added under a previously posted photo taken on the same trip.
"Yesterday, 18 July 2020, was such a beautiful day and a very rewarding one. My destination was, for me, an exciting one - an old ghost town that I had never seen before. A long, return drive of 454 kilometres on a pretty hot day was needed, in order to check out this new location. In order to do a long drive like this, I need to do it when the evenings stay light as late as possible, to make sure I don't have to drive in the dark. Completely tired out at the end of the day, but it was a good tiredness - and, more importantly, a journey that made it so easy to physically distance.
My favourite kind of day always includes a bit of everything - old barns, birds, landscapes, skies, wildflowers, and anything else. This day delivered most of those treats.
Leaving home by 8:30 am (later than I had hoped), most of my drive was highway travel. Not my favourite, but kind of necessary in order to get so far. Roads were fairly empty, which always makes a drive more pleasant, especially when I know I might want to stop to take a photo at any time.
It was definitely a Meadowlark day and it was nice to see one of them with a beak absolutely full of insects for its babies. Other birds included a few familiar species, but ones that are always good to see. I saw one Common Nighthawk this time, unlike the five I saw recently, but one is always enough and greatly appreciated.
Once I got into unfamiliar territory, I had to travel quite a distance before seeing any new-to-me old barns or homesteads. Found the first ones before I reached my destination. Once I reached the ghost town, I thoroughly enjoyed wandering around, taking photos. It is only a small place with a handful of old buildings, but very nicely kept. One of its main buildings is a small, country United Church, kept in great condition both inside and out. I had read online beforehand that people can go inside the church and sign their Guest Book, otherwise I probably would not have gone in. Really liked the door knobs to the front door.
From there, I took more or less the same route home, stopping only to photograph a few birds en route. I arrived home at 8:30 pm, with a smile on my face and eyes that were still open, thanks to taking some black coffee with me in case of emergency (i.e. unable to keep my eyes open!)."
I knew about this old kirk it was just about making time to come and see it. It is thought to date from the 1600's. The church and graveyard are in very good condition and as you would expect some of the gravestones are very old.

From wikidedia: The Rodeo San Francisco Refinery is a oil refinery located in Rodeo, California, which is located in the San Francisco Bay Area. The refinery is currently owned and operated by ConocoPhillips.
The complex is capable of refining 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
The "Castello a Mare" is a fortress located at the entrance of the old port of Heraklion, Crete, Greece. It was built by the Republic of Venice in the early 16th century, and is still in good condition today. History The site of Castello a Mare was possibly first fortified by the Arabs in the 9th or 10th centuries. By the Byzantine period, a tower known as Castellum Comunis stood on the site. In 1303, the tower was destroyed in an earthquake but was repaired. In 1462, the Venetian Senate approved a programme to improve the fortifications of Candia. Eventually, the Byzantine tower was demolished in 1523, and the Castello a Mare began to be built instead. Old ships were filled with stone, and were sunk to form a breakwater and increase the area of the platform on which the fortress was built. The fortress was completed in 1540.In 1630, the fort was armed with 18 cannons on the ground floor, and 25 cannons on the pathway leading to the roof.During the 21-year long Siege of Candia, Ottoman batteries easily neutralized the fort's firepower. The Ottomans eventually took the fort in 1669, after the Venetians surrendered the entire city. They did not make any major alterations to the fort, except for the additions of some battlements and embrasures. They built a small fort known as Little Koules on the landward side, but this was demolished in 1936 while the city was being modernized. The fortress has been restored, and it is now open to the public. Art exhibitions and cultural activities are occasionally held at the fort. Layout The fortress is made up of two parts: a high rectangular section, and a slightly lower semi-elliptical section. Its walls are up to 8.7m thick at some places, and it has three entrances. The fort has two stories, with a total of 26 rooms, which were originally used as barracks, a prison, storage rooms, a water reservoir, a church, a mill and a bakery. A lighthouse tower is located on the northern part of the fort.
Engine 16 looks like it just came off the factory floor at Baldwin......can you tell it's over 100 years old?!? One can only dream of looking and moving as well as 16 at that age! The Baldwin-built Mikado pulled a morning Freight Train on both mornings of the 2023 Winter Spectacular and I was lucky enough to get a seat on the second day. I can't wait to spend a lot more time there in Rockhill PA, now that steam has returned to the region!

recent piece "impermanence and eternal", created for upcoming solo show at Emerald Tablet gallery in San Francisco (June). The concept for the work in the show is the expression of Life itself. One of exploration, openness and discovery. This piece is simply another piece to that puzzle. The full text on the piece can be read at akirabeard.com/blog
Here is an excerpt... enjoy "look deep into the nature of your mind and perhaps you will see the true nature of reality itself. Look past all the thoughts, emotions, the learned knowledge, the conditioning, the neuroses and perhaps see the emptiness of it all. Open your mind in this way, and so too perhaps will your heart open to all things as well. And in this openness, perhaps experience a harmony thru the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. Though all things being empty, they hang in the black void of the universe like shining jewels… transparent, absorbing and reflecting light from the suns, the moons, and all the stars in the universe. Looking deeply, perhaps realize nothing in this way is truly independent of itself..."

The town of San Jon, New Mexico was founded in 1902 and was once an important local commercial center and stop on U.S. Route 66 and home to numerous tourist-oriented businesses, such as gasoline service stations, cafes and motels. However, when Interstate 40 bypassed the town in 1981, the local economy went into a decline, leading most of those businesses to shut down. Today, all of the gas stations and dining establishments are centered around the I-40 interchange on the north side of town...
This was a former Chevron, Mobil or Conoco filling station with the remains of a Tokheim 39 short model gas pump at the service island...This type of gas pump was built between 1938 to 1958 and had a glass globe with the brand sitting on top...
Like so many of us, I'm a sucker for warbonnets, in any kind of shape or condition. Nothing brightens up my day like seeing a legendary paint scheme in my viewfinder. Here's one that brightened up a really dull afternoon, back in October of 2021. This old veteran is rolling TT westbound on the former EJ&E, about to pass the DDFA, Griffith auxiliary.

Advertised in 2015, this Sierra Ghia was a one-owner-from-new car with 36k miles on the clock. Upon the original owner's death, the family put the Sierra in a garage for a while. They were unsure what to do with the car but feared selling it in case it was banger raced or the condition was led to deteriorate.
