The nightly Alaska Railroad 130S freight from Fairbanks to Anchorage was running very late this particular morning affording the rare opportunity for shots in daylight on the mainline. They have just crossed the long Knik River bridge and are swinging around a bluff to head south toward their final terminal in this view from the Old Glenn Hwy overpass at ARR milepost 145.6.
The moderately sized train of 4344 ft and 6731 trailing tons trailing three SD70MACs is heavy with jet fuel from Flint Hills Resources in North Pole destined for the Anchorage International Airport. Alas the 85,000 bpd refinery whose production once accounted for 40% of the railroad's revenue is no more having shut down for a multitude of economic and political reasons in 2014 and being demolished two years later after operating since 1977.

This is another processing of the photo that I used as source when I did the fake night shot.
Was #1 on explore at the 25th of Feb 2008.

Here he was in broad daylight!! Just sitting there in the tree waiting to have his photo taken. Good thing I came along....lol
A very late WAPO doubles their train at CPF 113. It usually ran at night, but I can't remember the reason it was so late on this day. On the right behind that Guilford boxcar is the MEC 500 on a flatbed ready for transport to I believe LTEX, I'm not 100% sure if that's where it went though.
It has been a couple of years since Southern Pacific shined up SD40R SP 7342 for service on the Louisiana Worlds Fair Daylight. On a sunny fall afternoon in 1986, the formerly flashy six axle motor highballs Kegg, California.
On Saturday morning I arrived early at Thickson's Woods in Whitby, Ontario in search of a Cerulean Warbler that was reported the day earlier. As I was entering the park I saw this male Baltimore Oriole robbing Spidey's food store in broad daylight. Interestingly someone setup half of an orange for the Orioles. This one seemed to ignore the orange and went for some protein diet. I didn't think that the Spidey stuck around for a confrontation that he knew couldn't win. By the way, no luck with the Cerulean, it left overnight to continue with his northward migration.
The moon rising in daylight taken on the same day as my last post only with a sigma 600mm mirror lense ,a bit noisy but a big moon .
On our way back from Cornwall we arrived at the harbour of Dunkerque with the last daylight. France, 2017.
Here are a few more images of he wild Bentonite hills of Utah. Being able to view the landscape from 400 feet is remarkable. All photos captured with DJI Mavic Air 2S ethically and legally
Just a quick shot taken from my back patio while it was still light. It is not a telescope photo. It was taken with my 150-600 mm Sigma Sport lens on my Nikon D810. Hand held.
As I was leaving I noticed the sun shone on the front of the lighthouse. And the light still shone. Always look back.
Dawn breaks at Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania. Here is a bulb capture at sunrise at the lake there above the waterfall glens. I shot this originally in RAW with the WB at "cloudy", but in this version I have adjusted the WB from 5900K to 5500K at the "daylight" temperature. The cooler cast makes for a beautiful color tones that really pulls out the magenta and purple tones.
