I have no idea how old this paper might be. It took a very long development time before the image came up, maybe 45 minutes.

More passenger action, that could have been posted on MLW Monday but there would have been protests! I know, you either love 'em or hate 'em, and nothing beats an FPA4 leading a passenger train, but fresh out of the box LRC trains at least looked cool and well, different. Here's the 6920 and four matching cars holding down the run for train 46 at Brockville on the summery evening
of 11 June 1983.
Beams of early evening light on Eastern Sierra aspen groves.
As I photographed here in the late afternoon I was keeping an eye on the sun as it descended toward clouds and the Sierra crest to the west. These trees are beautifully back-lit by late afternoon sun, but it looked like that light source might disappear early behind the clouds. But as it turned out, the partially blocked light created an unusual and dramatic effect as beams of light highlighted trees against the darker background.
I think that we like to flatter ourselves about our ability to find and take advantage of subjects and great light. We sure put a lot of effort into searching out visually interesting locations than then being there when the light is likely to be ideal. But in the end we are, to a great extent, at the mercy of conditions. Sometimes that is a problem, but on evenings like this one the light gods send us a gift.

Death Valley, California.
One of the first lessons of photography is to always turn and look at what's in back of what your are shooting, because sometimes the spectacle in front of us also shines light on what's behind us. One mile in altitude above Badwater Basin, I have come to Dante's View in the Black Mountains, to watch the sun set behind the Panamint Range to the west. It is a spectacular view point with a precipitous drop, all the way to the salt flats on the floor of Death Valley. The sun is crouched behind a cloud out there, sending great streaks of light across the jagged peaks, at an angle that still doesn't totally penetrate to the depth of the valley--an image I will share at another time perhaps. But for now, I remembered to look back,for this view down the Amargosa Range. Coffin Peak drops more gradually from this side, the flank ridges forming a gunsite of sorts, aiming into the skyline of peaks beyond. The sky seems to literally come at me from this angle, clouds parting to either side of me as though I am unmovable, like water around an island in the stream. Geologically old, you look out into time here, and after awhile in the quiet, time creeps into my thoughts as well. As I watch, a spotlight appears on a mountainside down the line. Maybe it symbolizes a path, a route, that I could have done better, could have done different. I always think so...I wonder how you ever know, really, the best way. The view behind me is always of remembrance, and some things are stripped and barren when I look back. But memory has many landscapes, and to say mine are all this simple would not be fair. I look for as long as I dare while waiting for the end of this day, before I turn around again, and face into it.
