An early evening train sheds only a handful of sparks as it runs up the ramp out of the open cast coal mine.
This one is loaded with sand and rocks that will probably end up in the slip at The Pipe.

Two people watching the early evening view of immense desert mountains from a high overlook.
Late in the day during my recent Death Valley visit I went to this overlook. It is more typically a place to see and photograph the sunrise, which comes from camera-left and illuminates the big ridges in the distance. But I had an evening free, not a morning, so I figured it was worth a shot. I arrived before sunset, and I made this photograph before the sun had dropped behind the western ridge, though the haze and some high clouds softened the light a bit.
I’ve never been able to quite describe what in words the experience of standing on a very high point in such a vast landscape. From here one can look 5000′ down into Death Valley or look 6000′ up toward the highest peak in the Panamint Range. One simultaneously feels “on top of the world” and very, very small in the presence of such immensity.

Early evening light on Lembert Done, Yosemite National Park.
During the last week of summer I finally managed to get up into the Sierra Nevada high country for the first time this season. (As you may know, we were traveling outside the US for most of the summer.) It was great to be back “home” in the Sierra — though the weather conditions were a bit… “interesting.” I encountered thunder and lightning, wind, rain, and even snow! Despite (or perhaps because of?) that weather, I managed to make this photograph of late light on some familiar Tuolumne Meadows during a brief clearing before sunset.
Folks who know Tuolumne Meadows will probably recognize at least a few things in this photograph. A bit of the meadow is, of course, visible in the foreground, just below the trees in the sunlight. The main geologic feature is Lembert Dome, which dominates the local view here, and to its left is its partner, Dog Dome. In the distance over the right shoulder of Lembert Dome is Mount Dana, the second-tallest peak in Yosemite, with its summit covered by clouds.

The Church of the Good Shepherd on the shores of Lake Tekapo on the South Island of New Zealand is a small Anglican church used by various denominations. Built in 1935 as a memorial church to commemorate early settlers, it is one of the most photographed items in the country.
snowshoe trekking to Mugikusa Pass
麦草峠に続く道
The distance of trekking route is long,
but evening tone of Mugikusa Pass is beautiful.
白い写真ばかりなので、
気分を変えて夕暮れのブルートーンです。
麦草峠の道は歩くと距離があるので、
帰る頃には夕暮れになってしまいます。

"È sera, ed è tempo che i fiori chiudano le loro corolle. Lascia che mi sieda al tuo fianco e comanda alle mie labbra di fare ciò che si può fare in silenzio nella debole luce delle stelle."
"It is evening, and it is time that the flowers close their corollas. Let me sit by your side and commands to my lips to do what can be done in silence in the faint starlight."

EVENING STAR
by Edgar Allan Poe
1827
'Twas noontide of summer,
And mid-time of night;
And stars, in their orbits,
Shone pale, thro' the light
Of the brighter, cold moon,
'Mid planets her slaves,
Herself in the Heavens,
Her beam on the waves.
I gazed awhile
On her cold smile;
Too cold–too cold for me-
There pass'd, as a shroud,
A fleecy cloud,
And I turned away to thee,
Proud Evening Star,
In thy glory afar,
And dearer thy beam shall be;
For joy to my heart
Is the proud part
Thou bearest in Heaven at night,
And more I admire
Thy distant fire,
Than that colder, lowly light.
I have always had a thing for Poe and the macabre....not necessarily in that order! This poem is probably the least macabre thing i have ever read from his pen! I thought it fit with my photo which i had named Evening Star before i even realized he had written a poem of the same name.
I hope you all had a beautiful long weekend of smiles and soul fulfilling fun. Mine was relaxing and that being said...i accomplished little but smiled a lot! You are gifted with a short week this week...make the most of it!

Maryland Midland's UBEG heads eastbound approaching Union Bridge, Maryland with stone loads for Finksburg. After Finksburg they would continue to the CSX interchange in Emory Grove to pick up cement cars dropped by the L136 earlier in the day.
Leading the train are the fairly new SD50s brought in to replace the SD40M-2s, which are on "the EPA list" for scrap. Only one SD40M-2 (3449) remains in service on the MMID, the 3450 blew a traction motor and was canned and should end up getting scrapped. These SD50s definitely aren't terrible, but can also be an eyesore to most people.
A wide view of a beautiful sunset over the Gulf of Oman at ‘Al-Uzaiba’ beach on a cold, cloudy, and lightly windy evening.
Some people enjoyed the beautiful views and cool breeze from the observation deck, while others walked along the shore. Three horsemen rode along the sandy beach and stopped near the deck.
There wasn't much light due to the heavy clouds, but I tried my best to capture the essence of the moment.
