I'm always amazed at the way the colours evolve in these tulips. This one started out pale yellow (see below) and is now nearing its final days with a flourish of red.

I couldn't part with the faded tulip petals - so I made a second arrangement of them, this time using a champagne coupe glass.

The light was fading when I took this shot of a dock on the northern end of the Cascade Reservoir in western Idaho. A small group of people are on the opposite side of the lake (not visible unless you enlarge the picture by clicking on it... and you have a large monitor). I was tempted to give this picture the name of "Cockeyed" because the dock seems... well, cockeyed. :^) That's because the water level of the lake had been dropping, leaving the front part of the dock touching the sand.

Autumn Fading Forest
It was autumn in this German forest and the fog already beginning to thin out. As it thinned, the fog appeared to recede deeper into the trees away from me. What my imagination created when viewing this scene was not at all like what I was truly seeing. To give the forest setting a fantasy look and a fading sense of depth, I used two images which I later blend together in processing. On one, I applied a path blur filter and removed the foreground trees. It would serve as the background elements. The second was taken sharply focused on the foreground trees and leaves with a shallow DOF. Then, in processing, I removed the background trees. When blended the result was close to what my imagination had first created.

Quick last minute shot.
I do like the texture and leaf bokeh though :-)

It's time for a Freight Car Friday post again.
I like good old 50 ft Plate C boxcars that were built by the tens of thousands in the 1970s and 1980s. The issue Classic Trains Magazine that just came out had a fabulous story about the shortline IPD boxcar craze of the late 1970s that led to an explosion of this car type. But four decades on these classics are fading from the scene as modern Plate F cars are built to replace them and as boxcar use has continued to shrink. At the peak of that boom (which led to an oversupply for decades) the US boxcar fleet was about 500,000 cars in 1980 but has since dropped precipitously to around 100,000 today. That loss has been mitigated somewhat but by the fact new boxcars that have been built in recent years are all 286K cars and today only about 1/3 of the active fleet is of 263K or smaller cars. Amazingly in the last year the boxcar fleet actually grew by some 2.5% according to Railinc as replacements outstripped retirements for a change.
But regardless, these once ubiquitous cars are quickly fading from the scene so I like to shoot them whenever I can and this train is always assured to have many of them. A few fallen flag Guilford and Pan Am cars can be seen entrained on CSXT train M427 (Rigby to Selkirk manifest) that is curling off former Boston and Maine rails and onto former Boston and Albany (now P&W and CSXT property respectively) at CP45 on the elevated right of way beside Worcester Union Station.

I tried more traditional crops with this one, but I kept coming back to this..... there is something about all that space above the fence and tree that I personally really like.
I think maybe I'm a little uncomfortable about these latest two shots because I had a bit of an epiphany after I was done shooting in the fog that I should've composed these shots differently - closer to the subject with the fencelines fading into the fog rather then the other way around.
Perhaps I'm just nuts - lets' face it landscape shots aren't really my forte and I like them.... that's really the most important thing. ;)

"And then she fades away like she never existed.
Like it was all a dream.
Her mind is gone, and her heart is a ghost.
You hold on to the memory of a sad goodbye, to the hugly truth of broken hearts.
Everything fades, and all things eventually are lost.
But in the darkest pit of your mind, you look inside and you see that you can always try to find."

Fading away in to a distant memory. my family and I have had some good memories at this pier. This pier has been through many strong storms and hurricanes, but in the end it wasn't mother nature who tore it down, It was us. A Contractor that won the bid removed the battered pier from the waters off Frisco North Carolina in early spring.
I was very happy have been able to photograph this pier back in 2016 before it was taken down. this year.
This is a 2 shot landscape format panorama.

I love the subtle browns of winter fields of goldenrod. The Savannah Sparrows gold has faded as well.
This image was taken about a half hour after sunset. By then it was quite dark and required about a 4 second exposure at f/5.6. The colors are due to the loss of yellows and greens from the light and were not altered from the original scan.
