The American Southwest is a magical place. The former Santa Fe Chicago to Los Angeles mainline cuts across the vast diverse terrain from western New Mexico across northern Arizona and into California. The most unique area along the mainline is BNSF's Seligman Subdivision from Winslow, Arizona, to Needles, California. Going from east to west, the railroad travels across the high desert from Winslow and climbs up to 7,300-feet in elevation across the only Alpine section the railroad passes through west of Flagstaff. From there, the railroad drops towards the Mojave Desert to the end of the subdivision in Needles, an elevation of 495-feet.
Located 24-miles west of Winslow, the railroad crosses over a north-south canyon called Canyon Diablo, Spanish for Devil Canyon. The ghost town of Canyon Diablo was incorporated in 1880. The town was a dangerous community due to having no lawmen after being incorporated. As a result, the stagecoach route from Flagstaff was notorious for robberies. Within the first year of being incorporated, the town finally got its first marshal who was sworn in at 3:00 PM and was buried only a few hours later. Five more marshals would follow where the longest one lasted a month. A boot hill type of cemetery was at the edge of town consisting of 35 graves of individuals who died violently. The town of Canyon Diablo died off by the time the original railroad was built.
The original bridge was built by the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad before Santa Fe built a brand new bridge in 1900. By 1947, a double-track bridge was constructed. Today, BNSF trains travel across the double-track bridge on their journey across Arizona. Seen here, BNSF's Winslow to Phoenix westbound Z-Train crosses the bridge on February 3, 2021.

Canyon Diablo, Arizona
We had snow on Mt. Diablo last weekend. Here is the view from Antioch, shot as a multi-frame pano using the FA 150mm 2.8 on the 645Z with polarizer. The complete pano is over 13,000 x 5,400 pixels, so ready to print very large, if you'd like to order one.
Hope you like it!
Diablo Lake is a reservoir in the North Cascade mountains of northern Washington state, USA. Created by Diablo Dam, the lake is located between Ross Lake and Gorge Lake on the Skagit River at an elevation of 1,201 feet above sea level. Diablo Lake is part of the Skagit River Hydroelectric Project and managed by Seattle City Light.
The lake is home to rainbow, cutthroat, brook, and the federally threatened bull trout. It is a popular recreational spot for kayakers and canoeists. The unique, intense turquoise hue of the lake's water is attributed to the surrounding glaciers that grind rocks into a fine powder that is carried into the lake through creeks. That fine powder stays suspended in the lake, giving the water its brilliant color.
We finally arrived at our destination, the rain had followed us all the way to the Lake but it did not stop me from taking many images at a different point of view. The clouds and the mist added drama and a mystical effect to the scenery.
The lake's brilliant hues from turquoise to light blue were accentuated by the dark clouds.
Thank you for your comments,

Diablo Lake is a reservoir created by Diablo Dam on the Skagit River in Northwestern Washington State. Diablo Lake lies between Ross Lake and Gorge Lake within the Ross Lake National Recreation Area and adjacent to the North Cascades National Park. It is part of the Skagit River Hydroelectric Project and managed by Seattle City Light. The turquoise green color results from fine powdered rock called glacial flour, which stays suspended in the water column, reflecting sunlight.
After Seattle we drove the North Cascades Scenic Highway (stayed one night in Marblemount) and came across Diablo Lake fairly early in the day and there was a beautiful mist rising through the trees. I just wish I had taken the time to set up with my ND grads because I blew the highlights here. Sometimes you don't know whether to just shoot or set up better but the sun was rising higher and higher and I didn't want to lose the misty moment.

It was taken on a lovely winter day on a quick road trip to the North Cascades. Isn't Washington beautiful?
Diablo "You wanna see something? YOU WANNA SEE SOMETHING?"
His accessories are just a pair of Lego fire torch pieces.
I have no idea what head I used, but I erased everything except the eyes. An then I painted all his tattoos in all their glory. There is nothing on the back of head, or on the back in general, I just decided to skip it.
The jacket is a CapeMadness ar jacket that I painted, same can be said for the rest of the figure.
So let me know what you guys think!
9-27-17 Canyon Diablo Arizona. An eastbound BNSF intermodal is flying at track speed as a storm builds over the mountains in the background. I was close to getting a lightning shot but the storm either discharged before or after the train came, figures right.

One evening, I was late getting to where I wanted to be and I could tell the sky was going to get colorful. Therefore, I stopped at the foot of Mt. Burdell in order to shoot the southern sky sunset with Mt. Diablo in the distance. I probably should have just made this my planned shoot and save the stress and grief. Haha.
Anyway, thanks for having a look!
