The Morristown and Erie Whippany Line is far and away the line I have been around the most, but one shot has always eluded me - the trestle over the Passaic River. Trains only cross the trestle when they work B&G Foods at the end of the line in Roseland, which is not that often. So today when I heard the MX-08 was headed down to B&G, I knew where I was headed without a second thought. After a brutal, slippery hike in, I managed to get myself in position just in time to watch my favorite engine cross the trestle on their way to B&G.
It's been a long winter, but local boatnerds were rewarded for their patience this sunny Sunday afternoon with the arrival of the Cuyahoga, inbound with potash for the Kuhlman bulk facility. She's not the first vessel upriver this spring, but traffic has definitely been off to a slow start on this part of the Maumee River this season.
Finally I had a chance to go out & shoot some blooms yesterday. I will be out for the weekend so I will visit you guys when I come back next week. I will finally have my much awaited long weekend off after weeks of working every weekend so I'm excited. Enjoy your weekend friends :-)
Hong Kong Airlines began gradually giving up the eight A350 fleet in 2019.
After 4 years of storage, this 7 years old bird was finally joined Thai Airways in late 2023.
Finally saw one of the Post Office's eco friendly scooters parked and right outside our apartment the other day. Have wanted to take a photo of one for ages.
Much better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Been quite some time since I've touched this WIP but I've finally picked it up again. The main reason I stopped the build in the first place was because of the track pods. They're honestly some tricky little bastards to recreate in Lego, and since I wasn't too satisfied with my previous solution, I decided to put this tank off to the side for a while...until now!
Most of the people around me in McAlester were upset as the cones were placed around the 4014, but frankly I didn't mind.
It finally made this shot possible!

I've driven past this scene almost daily for nine years knowing it has the potential to make a great photograph. Finally I made the time to visit and was not disappointed.
Its like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.After many a trip to this location. Finally the shot I've been waiting for.
Out of the 6 or so occasions of going here twice the pool has been completely empty. The other times its been a rubbish sunrise.
I got up at 5.00am, looked off my back deck and headed back to bed only to think I'm up now i may as well just go. On arrival I thought it could be a chance.As the sun came up all was revealed, "FINALLY"
Hope everyone has a good friday and weekend.

After finally getting around to opening my made to move curvy doll, I decided I hate the original dolls face. So it decided it was a toss up between Alicia Fox & Sasha Banks. After trying them both on the body Alicia won. Now that I have her to pose and play with I see why everyone loves the articulated curvy body. Now I am on mission to find more of the articulated/mtm/made to move curvy barbie dolls.
i'm alive:and feel good; sun and warm is such a great mix:)

It doesn't snow that often in central North Carolina, so when it does one must make the most of it. My son was so excited to go outside in the early evening when the flakes started falling to make snow balls. When he stood illuminated by our house's motion light, it was an opportunity to capture him and the falling snow.

CN 8894 & CN 5641 is the power on CN 527, heading towards Taschereau Yard after working Pointe St-Charles Yard. Here it is crossing from the South Track to the North Track towards the end of a snowstorm.
365/365: This is it.
Project 365 is a wrap! I started this a year ago without much expectations, just a desire to push myself deeper into photography and boy have I learned a lot. It's been an aeon, it's been hard and painful at times, fun at most. I've made so many new friends, contacts, acquaintances on and offline as a result of this project. This project most certainly changed my life in a way, opening up so many opportunities that wouldn't have been available to me.
And there's so many people to thank. First and foremost would of course be, you. Yes you, your comments and encouragement are what that fueled me through the past year. Then there's my sister, whose been a helpful assistant in quite a few shots (including today's grand finale) and a great contributor in deciding which take to upload when I'm in the least decisive. There are my fellow coursemates, who've been really supportive of my endeavor, putting up with my shutterbugging all the while in campus and sometimes even sportingly being subjects of my photos.
There are a lot more thing's I'd like to say regarding 365 days worth of this project. Look out for a post on this on my main blog, as soon as I organize my thoughts and pull through this hectic period of the Lunar New Year celebrations.
Quite a few friends had asked me if I intend to continue with a second *shrug* year. YES! I'll most definitely won't be, heh. A year in photos is enough, way enough. As for what I'll intend to do after this, well.. I'll probably upload a few more 365 outtakes from last year as well as of course, fresh ones when I have the luxury to do so. It feels so nice to be able to stick to my own schedule now.
To those of you who've just started your 365's for the year, good luck! It'll be over sooner that you think. =) So, thank you, for following me on my journey. It's been great going through all of it with you all.
Tll next time! *bows out* =)
Today, 16 January 2022, our temperature is 0°C (windchill -4°C) just after noon. Sunrise is at 8:32 am and sunset is at 5:00 pm. A sunny day. A few days ago, our deepfreeze finally come to an end - at least until the next one - and we have been enjoying much milder weather. We do have a Special Weather Statement for tomorrow night (Monday), though - "Strong winds, snow, blowing snow and a rapid drop in temperature expected for southern Alberta. Be prepared for poor travel conditions." Hopefully, it will miss my city!
Yesterday, 15 January 2022, I was finally able to get out for a drive out of the city. The last time I had been for a drive was on 24 October 2021! I had been wanting to get out for the last few days, but each day involved having to do something in connection with the car accident on 20 December 2021, when a young driver T-boned the loaner vehicle I was driving just a couple of roads away from home. Apparently, the Police Accident Report that was made at the time of the accident had been sitting on someone's desk, waiting to be authorized. This resulted in my having to make and answer endless phone calls and emails to various people, plus having to go to the nearest Police Station to pick up a driver's copy of the now-authorized report. I was told that an accident benefit adjuster is now supposed to phone me. I have never put in an accident benefit claim for anything before. I read that ones payments will go up if a claim is put in, so I don't think it's worth doing. My only financial expenses during the week after the accident, were several taxi rides. The rest of the 'damages' were pretty much stress, including being without a vehicle for the Christmas week. Oh, and whiplash and other muscle injury, for which I won't be getting physio. So, I don't think it's worth going through all the hassle of putting in a claim and then having my payments increase..
Anyway, yesterday, I decided to go for a drive SE of the city, really just to get out and see something other than my four walls. Not a lot to see, but it was good to drive a few quiet, peaceful back roads, and on a lovely sunny day. I was surprised to see a lot less snow on the ground than I was expecting. It also surprised me, though, that I found it so very tiring to do a shortish drive like this, along familiar roads.
Finally, I came to the National Gardens in Athens. This place is pretty big. I really like how the nature was structured here, forming a kind of tunnel over the paths and passageways. It almost reminded me of the Tunnel of Love in Ukraine in a way. It is very peaceful here and because of the weather, there wasn't that many people here. After visiting the National Gardens, I also paid a quick stop at the Greek Parliament building which is literally next to the National Garden. However, I was late when the changing of the guard took place and there were quite a few people there watching.
Had enough of a bubble between work responsibilities and illnesses today and get out for some shooting. I wanted to go north, but an opportunity to get vaccinated sent me back to where I work instead.
This railroad building I have shot before. It is by the Norfolk Southern tracks in Arden, NY. It was built by the Erie.
My fellow hunter, Trygve Anders, is at the goal and in the modern world we live in he has to answer a call. I thought that had some interesting contrasts in it.
