The first of many times I've caught a train at this spot.
The North Coast Hiawatha train 9 got the equipment and motive power the railroad from its various members. In the case of Burlington Northern it was their F7 passenger engines and passenger cars.

Rusty equipment litters the grounds at abandoned Pierce Point Ranch. This is a windswept area with more foggy days than sunny, which hastens the rust and decay process. The old ranch was a large one. It's interesting to envision what it must have been like when it was bustling with work day energy.

BNSF daily, HPVODEN-017 with its usual daily mishmash of equipment turns the curve on the underpass still graced on the west face with D&SL are about to plug the cut on its way to Tolland. Also the site of D&RGW wreck of L131 2-8-8-2 3619 rollover, July 13, 1941.
This plate deck used to be in place along with others for the long bridge on the “Coal Creek Viaduct” down in Arvada, currently a big fill just behind the CDOT plow buildings along US72 in Coal Creek Canyon. Get ready for a new book coming out soon from Terry Ten Eyck about the history of the Moffat Road! Should be AWESOME

PENTAX Q
PENTAX-05 TOY LENS TELE 18mm f:8
The PENTAX Q "Toy lenses" are tiny manual-focus primes with a fixed aperture. They were rather misunderstood and never caught on. I think that's a pity. If one takes the trouble, they can give beautiful results. They are NOT toys, and are anything but simple to use well. As with any equipment, you have to recognise the possibilities and respect the limitations.
With its focal-length equivalent to that of a 100mm lens on 35mm film, the TOY LENS TELE makes a nice little portrait lens with a pleasingly soft rendition.
These are the big chicks, getting ready to fledge. I've been watching them for a few days, but they've either been flapping on cloudy days or sitting in the nest like bumps on a log on sunny days. I finally got them flapping on a sunny morning even if with the distance away, the partly cloudy sky behind, and the shady nest, the photos aren't the best. This may have been my best chance given that they'll leave soon and cloudy conditions are coming up do to frequent thunderstorms. Great Blue Herons, Siskiyou County, California

The inside padded dividers of the Pelican 1614 hardshell case. For all you gear perverts...
Originally I thought I'd perfer the pick-n-pluck foam 1610 model, but this stores much more equipment.
This is the rig I taking with me to shoot a wedding this weekend. I'm borrowing another 20D, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS and 24-70mm f/2.8L lenses for my wife Joleen to use. The rest is my junk... I'm planning on ordering a 5D the 16-35mm f/2.8 MkII and 15mm fisheye in the next month or two.
NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr's 'Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day. You can see all of my photo's that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.
No need to bundle up in the freezing cold this time—we watched the whole show in comfort. Totality rolled in around 4 a.m. MST, turning the moon into that incredible rusty red colour as it passed through Earth's shadow. Clear(ish) skies, zero wind chill, and just pure awe through the scope/camera.
Here are some shots Laurie captured right from the observatory—hope they give a sense of how magical it looked (and how cozy we stayed!).
Next total one isn't until NYE 2028. Who's planning a 2028 watch party? 😄

What ever this piece of equipment was/is must have been pretty heavy as it is place on a cement structure. Maybe a part of a heavy-duty motor?
The Mad River & NKP Railroad Museum has a lot of equipment, enough to line both sides of NS's Toledo District in Bellevue.
Here, the daily turn to Toledo heads back to Moorman Yard as it rolls past the railroad museum under a nice sucker hole.

I took sometimes pictures of rural and agricultural motives also earlier, but while I took these two pictures (this one and the previous uploaded) in 2013 I came up with the idea for the title for the series.

this is an edit of an older photo in my photo stream. i went to this club in springfield, va a couple of times to photograph the bands performing there. the last time i went otep was performing. there was no problem till the next to the last song of her set. anyway, we were kicked out of the club...there's a whole myspace blog about it.
this photo is one of many i took of a band called TON. they are from the danville, va area and i recently found out they are no longer together. they go through "periods" i hear, so perhaps they'll get back together.

A relic of a different age and it is not just my hands.
A old-time essential darkroom interval timer, it is still a wonderful thing.
I finding it a difficult task breaking apart my much loved conventional darkroom apart and disposing of all the superb equipment I had bought over the years. Still I have nearly finished now and there has been nothing cathartic about this action at all for me - just the lovely memories.
The Darkside of Maintenance of Way projects.
A flock of birds takes flight at the sound of the blaring horn at Middle Honcut Road Crossing, as Sixteen-Thousand tons of corn for the J.D. Heiskell elevator in Pixley, California coasts out of the foothills and through the Craig Wetlands. This train was running a mere fifteen minutes behind the previous BNSF train off the Inside Gateway, as traffic picked up again in the late afternoon after the 9608 Gangs tie replacement and curved rail maintenance window was lifted. The only downside to the opening was the equipment needed to find a home for the night, as was the case for this group of regulators, tramperers and drivers rest for the night in the siding at Craig; don't know who the stadium lights belonged to the one in the frame was the only one around... and yeah should have stayed out in the swamp at the west end for this one.
This train and a few others have a companion video available follow the rabbit hole here: youtu.be/lD2rYedkUuI
