Emphasis on the "drag" part.
Took nearly two days to catch this bad boy, I was hoping for a late afternoon chase around the east side of Cima Hill. Instead I got this in rather non-shootable mid morning lighting, pacing it was really the best option given the time of day.
Here's how it all fell apart, in rather non spectacular fashion as always. Union Pacific's Loaded Coal from West Elk, Colorado to Long Beach, California (Pier G) hit a rather unexpected snag in transit on the Caliente Subdivision, after its rear DPU (UP 8454) died while the train was dropping out of the Meadow Valley Wash. While this wasn't world ending going downhill and into the short uphill stretch Farrier, it did cause some problems when the train hit the one percent grade at Moapa and promptly stalled it. Now here's where it got ugly fast, there was only one train that had a donatable unit to give to the coal train. An eastbound Ogden had to setout a unit at Milford the two trains had actually met at Islen on Thursday the 24th. That required a Milford, Utah to Moapa, Nevada engine move that took just about a whole calendar day with positioning crews, fuel checks, etc. to accomplish the end goal (getting this thing moving again).
That all started on Thursday around seven in the morning, it's now Saturday just before nine o'clock. As Union Pacific 2602 and 8035 are pulling hard across the Ivanpah Valley on their way to the bottom of Cima Hill. There the train will slug it out over the mountain grade on it's way to Yermo, where more it will be held for booster unit to get over the Santa Fe. It wouldn't make it into Long Beach until Sunday just after twelve in the afternoon....
Moapa, Nevada to Long Beach, California total distance: three hundred ninety-six miles with seventy-eight hours to get there, average speed was five miles an hour.
Sighhh wish it wasn't like this.....
Marbella is well known through the world as a luxury holiday destination in the “Costa del Sol”, in the South of Spain. From 7 to 8 figures Villas, Ferrari, Porsche, RR, Hermés, Louis Vuitton and Rolex in gold with gold overload in option as well as paying 3,000 Euros/Dollars for a bottle of Möet & Chandon in a disco at night. Plenty of beautiful young and not so young girls available. You name it. Soon you start to ask yourself, as Henry-Cartier Bresson once did: “where the money came from”?
I’m not interested in that vision of Marbella. With my Leica I’m much more intrigued in how the authentic people from Marbella lives. And when we speak about living in Marbella we should observe how people behaves in the beaches. The true treasure of Marbella is neither on champagne nor in fine dresses. The jewel of Marbella is the sun itself. The authentic people from Marbella knows it perfectly well. They know people come and go and they know too the sun is the only thing that remains.
My “Marbella Collection” tries to gather the ambiance in the beach. I usually arrive with my Leica inside a discrete black bag. No space for more than an M body and a 50mm Summicron with a 10 stops neutral density filter. I take seat below my sun-umbrella everyday and the Leica goes out the bag to see light. In less than five minutes I take three or four shots, no more. No need for being in a hurry. Everything is calm as are the tiny waves from the Alboran’s Sea. I take the pictures and then the Leica goes back inside the black sand-proof bag. Next comes the solar protection cream and the sunbath. The Leica knows that she can rest until next morning.
We had our first snow of the season yesterday, with a little more overnight. This shot is from this morning with the draggers out for scallops (and maybe urchins?).

Strong winds, heavy seas, incoming tide and sunshine made for an exhilarating walk along the beach yesterday... I tried long exposures amongst the rocks but couldn't keep the camera steady, so I went for 1/4 second on the beach using Lee Pro Glass .9 ND filter.
I got very wet indeed and it was cold walking back to the car, parked where you can see buildings in the distance.... it was fun though :o)
This photo was taken at the 2018 BC Annual Dance Festival in Prince Rupert. Mostly I was shooting to capture movement but I took the occasional long exposure for a more abstract look.
Plenty more photos (and I do mean plenty) at the proofing gallery online here.

The 65' steel fishing vessel Japara (R & G Wisby) in a drag race with us to the wharf across Georges Bay, St. Helens, Tasmania. Circa 1987.
Fairly stiff breeze of westerly here and we had been chased out of the scallop beds in Banks Strait several hours steaming to the north.
First to the wharf were first to unload and first to the pub!
They lost...

Created for the Toy Sunday theme, DRAG, inspired by the infamous “Bad Panda” photo.
Went to VooDoo Larry's open house with BFF's Brian and Liz. Had a really great time and took bunch of pics for first time this year. Used my 10-22mm wide the whole day which was a lot of fun..

I seem to be on a bit of a roll with robots right now. I'll probably be posting plenty more in the near future. This guy is built using the same basic frame as my last robot. I really love how this one turned out!

Good things to think about when life feels "like a drag" :
1. “When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. “ ~ Roosevelt
2. “There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why… I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?” ~ Robert Kennedy
3. “If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” Van Gogh
4. “I’d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star, I’d rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.” Milton Berle
5. “It’s not whether you get knocked down. It’s whether you get up again.” Vince Lombardi
6. “Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.” Helen Keller
7. “I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.” Clara Barton
8. “When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. “ Harriet B Stowe
9. “If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” Mary Pickford
10. “You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
11. “The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.” Shakespeare
12. “When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
13. “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.” Solomon; Proverbs 12:25
14. “… fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” God; Isaiah 41:10
Have a great weekend my very talented and respected friends! Love your work!

The 11.38 Kilmarnock Bonnyton Depot - Ilford E.M.U.D. move.
This is the first time I've taken a photograph here since the palisade fencing went up last year. It's not as good now, but at least a shot is still on.
