Having seen numerous ethanol trains that interchanged from the Canadian Pacific to CSX, Bensenville, Illinois was one yard I wanted to visit on a 2021 trip to the area.
I may have the symbol wrong but this is what I think the Tower called CP 473 coming into the yard from the east. He was a long mixed manifest that followed a westbound Metra train through the area. He appeared to enter the yard and go from there.

My first published photos! Printed for an article on artisans in the Eastern Cape, South Africa- in HAND/EYE Spring 2008, an Aid to Artisans Magazine. I went on an assessment of the craft sector in the area for Aid to Artisans and took a number of photos- these were used to illustrate the article.

Thankfully the lights of the runway lit up an awful morning at the United States Air Force base at RAF Lakenheath this week with low cloud and mist around the base for most of the morning this was 1 of only 2 F-15 Eagles to manage to get airborne before 1130 due to a weather hold being implemented shortly after they returned!
My first attempt at light painting and making an orb. Well, it's orb-ish, at least. Now the real work begins! I have a long way to go. It's looking rather disheveled, but I'm excited- it's a start!

This is a picture I took of my first grandson within one minute of his birth since his mom, my oldest son's wife--my sweet daughter-in-law, asked me (along with her husband and my other daughter-in-law) to stay in the room with her while she delivered. Her mom couldn't be there because she went into labor before her mom's flight arrived. Meanwhile, my husband was rushing to the airport two hours away to pick her up and bring her to the hospital. They both arrived, if I remember right, within a minute of his being born. When they came in, he was just being put under this golden heating lamp.
The lighting in the photo was all the original lighting. I did, however, crop it a bit and clone out a couple of items that were problematic. Those are his actual footprints, resized of course. I just had to include them because they were so cute. Normally it's a difficult thing to take a picture of a newborn, let alone a naturally born baby, and have it turn out making him look great. But he was easy. It was actually hard to take a bad picture of him right after he was born. He was absolutely adorable. It makes me wonder if this is what it means in the Bible when it talks about Moses having unusual beauty as a baby.
You can see that he was very aware. What you can't see is that he was looking directly into the eyes of all of us when we held him and spoke to him. Like his dad, he was able to hold his head up (freakishly, lol) at birth and ever after that. It was all completely mind-blowing. At this point, he was looking over toward his mom with wonder in that very precious infant way.
I have to say that there's nothing like watching one's own grand baby be born or at least getting to see him/her within a couple of moments after his/her birth. This was one of those spectacular moments the Lord shares with us that was allowed to be caught on camera. Hope you enjoy it. *Smile*
The passage displayed in the above picture is Luke 18:16-17: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" (1984 NIV).

Well the time has come for Sunset Sailor to raise the mainsail and head off into the mist. My last post, here, is one of the first digital photos I ever took, using my HP Photosmart C20 camera.
A lot has changed in my life over the past two years and it's time for me to change as well. There aren't enough words to express the gratitude I have for my contacts and friends here on Flickr. You are the best and have shared your best over the years. I have harvested so much enjoyment from your work and words.
Not related to my departure, but as an aside, download any photos or textures you want from my posts, while you can, since non-Pro accounts will be stripped to a minimum sometime soon.
Please be aware my leaving is not related to Flickr price policy changes. It's a personal choice.
Hoist the sail, mates...
"And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'."
