I thought I'd found a new and exciting fly species the other day, but doing my research, I discovered that this was probably a very common fly which had an entomophthora muscae infection. E. muscae is a pathogenic fungus causing fatal disease to flies. The stripes are very striking but knowing that they are caused by fungal spores breaking out of the segments in the fly's abdomen. one has to feel great sympathy for the fly.
This cattle shed and silo has been here for as long as I can remember but its days are numbered as industrial buildings encroach on the site. Utah County, Utah.
Mount Doom is a fictional volcano in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. It is located in the northwest of the Black Land of Mordor and close to Barad-dûr. Alternative names, in Tolkien's invented language of Sindarin, include Orodruin and Amon Amarth. Wikipedia
On the left we see Mt Ngauruhoe, then Mt Tongariro, then Lake Taupo, Motutaiko Island in Lake Taupo and Mt Tauhara on the horizon. The Kaimanawa Range to the right and the Mangateoteonui Stream Valley.
CSX L452 splits the B&O-era intermediates outside of New Elizabethtown, Indiana behind an SD70MAC leader and an enormous train of cement. The uptick in traffic from the cement plant in Mitchell has prompted CSX to replace the aging signals and codeline between Mitchell and Seymour out of concern that the existing codeline will not be able to survive another major storm. In the grand scheme of things, you can expect a system-wide purge of CPL signals as the parts supply to keep these signals going dwindles.
A pair of York Rail CF7s with no future were parked at the West York yard of Genesee and Wyoming awaiting a future that would not come.

There are nights when the weather doesn't play along and astrophotography just isn't an option. That's when it is nice to be out with friends or to you meet other people you can chat with.
This was of those nights. Clouds rolled in and there was no chance to shoot the Milky Way... A doomed session. No wonder this strange guy turned up, just as we were ready to call it a night. He wasn't talkative at all, but he made a good foreground subject that matched the gloomy sky conditions.
You may ask why I was't terrified by the grim rim reaper. The answer is easy: If you do not join the dark side of landscape astrophotography (others call it compositing 😜), there is no reason to be afraid of the dark guy.
Happy Halloween!

Not gonna lie, and I've said it before probably, but July 9th was definitely the best day ever chasing haboobs 😂
This was southwest of Gila Bend aways, eight-image panoramic with the Sony A7R3 and Sigma Art 14-24. Massive, dense haboob riding underneath a pretty nifty shelf cloud.
That wall of dust originated southwest of Phoenix and ended up rolling into California and Mexico after dark...what an amazing day.

Killing some time in Sterling CO as a storm rolls on in Special T and myself decided to try and pop off some lightning shots with this garbage on some stub track. Spent a good 20 minutes here before we were happy with a few frames.
The Journey's End
Although Mount Doom is typically depicted from the interior, I fell so in love with the look of the entrance during my research, that I just had to take a stab at building it.

This is Mt Ngauruhoe in Tongariro National Park. It featured as Mt Doom in The Lord of the Rings trllogy although Peter Jackson used summer footage of the volcano with no snow on it to make it look more sinister and inhospitable.
