Let's continue with the trains from my brief but productive morning along the legendary former Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. I've already shared a shot from Neabsco and trains 1, 2 and 8 that I shot here crossing Powells Creek at MP 84.7 on modern day CSXT's exceptionally busy RF&P sub.
Here is the third train we lensed here, and probably my favorite shot of the nine. This is CSXT train I032 a high priority intermodal running from Jacksonville, FL to North Bergen, NJ. The 1x1 DPU configured train is solid single stacks and TOFC due to the clearance restriction in Baltimore's Howard Street tunnel.

The Minster was undergoing significant works during our visit. Thankfully, this side entrance which protrudes out from the main building was not only pristine but also strongly lit. Very thoughtful of them.
Continuing where I left off at the last photo, this is the walking path along the beach from the parking lot to North Light. You can just discern the lighthouse in the distance. The atmosphere after sunset was unbelievable.
Works best when viewed in large.
On February 5, 2021we had another soft snowfall that came down as a beautiful, white, fluffy snow. Since I had my Canon at home I felt fortunate to be able to photograph nature at its finest, up close and personal in the woods and hillside behind my home.

Continuing with the Purple Sandpiper theme from the outing the other day.
I recently purchased the Canon R5, this is from the first outing with my new toy. A notable difference from the 7D mkii. I have it set up with the dual back button focus, ie tracking and spot focus. I did find the buttons difficult to navigate on the back of the camera. Im sure in time it will become second nature. The eye tracking is quite amazing, it did an amazing job even when birds were in a busy environment. I had it set to the faster electronic of the two shutter options, ill try mechanical next time as I feel it was a bit too fast for this situation. I came away with a large no of images.....trigger happy Gregg :)
I don't seem to be able to view the images on DPP. I would look through all the images from the 7D and quickly sort through rating then deleting etc choosing the best. I could view them on a picture viewer on the computer (I think some microsoft thing, however not much good for sorting) had to view through Lightroom, not sure as I have never tried to view and delete on there. I know when I load images on to LR, I delete them off there, however they stay on the computer. Im sure I should be able to set it up?
This image was taken on the Brigg at Filey, It was a really foggy morning so didn't get stated till 10.30, I got lucky with the Purple Sands as it was then busy with visitors. I found a rocky area just from the main path down the middle.
Built in 1931, the lighthouse continues the use of a fifth order Fresnel lens that was first used in 1891, in the original lighthouse. The foreground pale brown is due to the shallow but rough water, kicking up sand, while the deep blue is deeper water.
Continuing on that fair winter day along the "Joint Line", a D&RGW southbound coal passes the Air Force Academy lead by an SD45 and three SD40T-2, 5325-5357-5352-5391) @1350.

Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.
Anthony J. D'Angelo
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Artist ElleStreetArt's mural continues along this semi-circular wall. In total she painted 2,900 square feet. That's big and beautiful. At Hudson Yards
A lot of fun to watch the sky explode in color and to move around there in the field of leaves to capture that sunlight and color from the sky to the leaves. Fall splendor here in Maryland.
If it weren't for 12-spotted's! Gee, there just aren't any odes flying. It's hot & dry right now - but too late to save most summer dragons and too hot for Fall species to come out of the shade. This guy is actually by himself ... leaves one of our sticks to chase an occasional whitetail or green darner. A stunning Comet darner flew by the other day - haven't seen him since. And we've seen the first Shadow darner but he wouldn't perch.
Sorry it's been so hectic here - I was at a derm. surgeon yesterday having a skin cancer removed - they told us to plan on being there a good 4 (!) hours. Fortunately it didn't take that long - thanks once again for several good friends that prayed & sent me notes - so appreciated.

Descending the Sir Sandford Fleming Memorial Tower aka 'The Dingle' in Halifax, NS. (Snapped on iPhone 6)
(I feel like there should be some back story of mystery and intrigue to this shot. Problem is, when I hear "Dingle" all I can think of is a funny rhyme my uncle taught us as kids, "Hey dingle-dangle, dingle-dangle-dee. Never let your dingle....dangle in your tea." Must've been a family thing - my dad frequently made up quite similar nonsense poems - and I have to admit, us 'kids' have continued the quirky legacy.)
Continuing my series, Maxwell is a small town in Story County, Iowa with around 860 people. Businesses include a small grocery store, a gas station, a bank, medical clinic and funeral home. However, what I find fascinating is the Historical Society’s museum. There are two large century-old buildings plus a machine shed with farm implements. I only show one building in this photo, but the combined museum collection holds over 13,00 items from the 1800’s to date. I find that quite amazing for a small town.
Developed with Darktable 4.8.0.
About the series: Life in a small Midwestern town often means a slower pace of life, close-knit communities, and a strong connection to the land and agriculture. Residents typically have a strong sense of pride in their hometown and a friendly, neighborly attitude. Small towns usually have limited employment and entertainment options, but the tradeoff is typically a lower cost of living and a quieter, more peaceful environment. Presented in black and white at night, I hope to capture the essence of a few small Iowa towns in this series. Series Album: flic.kr/s/aHBqjBWTai

With both of the blue Horizon motors on the point, the Rocky Mountaineer heads west at the west switch of the siding at Crescent. The result of a meet with a freight train longer than the siding, both the Mountaineer and the Zephyr would line up right behind each other to allow the freight train to pull around. Once in the clear, both passenger trains would depart the siding back to back to continue west.
Continuing onwards I was trying to keep away from the wandering sheep. It was nice to be near these big trees plenty shelter from the incoming rain.
Continuing to take you on my journey around London's landmarks - got through just of 40000 steps according to my watch - this time I called into Covent Garden - liking the perspective on this planter, with the Red Telephone box as a blury complement.
As a kid, I was fascinated by movies such as The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973/4) and the brilliant special effects work of Ray Harryhausen. I looked up at the sky and remembered this scene.
Ash emissions continue at fluctuating levels. A stronger phase of emissions produced a plume that rose approx. 1200 meters and drifted in westerly directions over Malang, forcing a temporary closure of the city's regional Abdul Rachman Saleh airport.

n the dark nighttime streets, Hayden, a librarian turned elegant vigilante, steps in to protect a helpless young man from thugs, displaying his sharp intellect and physical prowess. After driving away the attackers, he watches with satisfaction as the youth safely departs before fading into the night, ready to continue safeguarding his city.

Monarchs continue passing through North Georgia ... here's one of two I saw in the late-afternoon sun yesterday. Lots of other butterfly species still flying. I also saw the first dragonfly I've seen in awhile: a golden-red female Wandering glider glistening in the sun. Another amazing visit to the wildflower oasis. It was 81o on my car while there ... should be a bit cooler today. Have a good weekend!
>> Monarch on cosmos - yesterday at the Etowah River wildflowers
Continuing with my winter theme of posting dragonflies & bugs I've rarely if ever posted ...
A White Peacock at the wonderful Corkscrew Swamp (you could encounter bears & panthers on the boardwalk) near Naples, Florida ... just before Christmas in 2009. I've never heard of a Peacock stray making it up here but a few do wander from their very southern range.
Continuing in our yard on Friday. I did not spot one yesterday-- perhaps they have moved on? They never stay for very long...
Another from a couple days ago. No textures this time. Hope they withstand the snow blanket on them tonight. I love crocuses..wish they were around all summer.
Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
Took this shot with wideangle.. you can clearly see how narrow the Peninsula is, with Port Phillip Bay on one side and the ocean back beaches on the other...
Continuing to try out a new toy, I spotted some westbounds shooting out of the Bluff Yard on East Hump's command. On account of a double track parking lot at NTW on the St. Paul Sub, things had to go Midway Sub. Of course, this hopper train is heading for the Willmar Line, so no big deal. This shot works well with a uniform unit train.
Continuing this week's 'Spitfire' theme - here is a profile view of a Spitfire Mk 1. A key feature is the barely perceptible, tapering, twist to the wing. The leading edge points upwards by 2 degrees where it joins the body, reducing to half a degree at the tip. This subtle twist greatly improved the handling for pilots, but made the structure far more difficult to manufacture. The wing was the design of Canadian-born aerodynamicist Beverley Shenstone, an unsung hero of the Spitfire story.
This aircraft carries the Eagle Squadron badge. Three RAF squadrons were formed with volunteer airmen from the USA in 1940 before American entry into WW2. About 240 men served, of whom around 100 perished. In Sept 1942, the US airmen transferred to the US 8th Army Air Force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Squadrons

project - For the Love of Our Planet
We have so many entrepreneurs and we desperately need people to discover something to replace plastic which is ruining our oceans, our lands, humanity, animal life, plant life, and climate. It is imperative that we are serious about this and find a solution immediately. Our children will suffer even more from our lack of caring, and if we don't do something soon it will be catastrophic!
The plastic pollution-free world is not a choice but a commitment to life - a commitment to the next generation.

The usage of plastic in packing medicines will pack the earth medically unfit for any life.

I slowly got up from the chair i was sitting on in front of the fire, not wanting to leave the warmth of the room, slinking away like i was alone in the room, i returned to the ladies room, changed into another outfit, placing hearts into her eyes hoping to become unrecognizable to the handsome jewel thief, leaving the building i pick up my pace heading across the lawn trying to hide in every shadow i could find,quickly i was loosing the shadows to a large open space of the lawn, now i had to find all the strength in me to make a quick get away, as i picked up my pace all of a sudden i felt a grip to my shoulder, there was a scuffle, i tried to fight him off, my breathing pounding throughout my body, i muster up some strength to fight him off some more, he was powerful,i had to think fast and hard in that moment how to escape his clutches to save my jewels, to be continued ............................

This an evening shot of the largest Catholic Church in our city, the Holy Name of Jesus Parish.
I layered in a linen texture to the sky and I'm happy with the final result. Hope you are, too.
