From Wikipedia: the 'blue hour' comes from the French expression l'heure bleue, which refers to the period of twilight each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day.

This little scene seemed to have a very painterly feel with the autumn colours reflecting on the water. I later reprimanded that errant goose at the back for turning the other way.

The three (the third unit is a new arrival) units assigned to the BJRY in Montgomery, IL rest awaiting their assignments.

Here is my current fleet of *completed* GWR locos.

Left to right.

GWR king class

GWR City class

GWR Dean Goods class

GWR 2600 class (rebuild soon)

GWR 5101 class

GWR 9400 class

For those of you who have seen my work from the beginning, you may be wondering about my GWR 5700 and 1400 classes. Long story short, they are old models, made in LDD only, so lack of parts was a thing with those builds. Thinking of going ahead and trying to reverse engineer tracepierce2592 locos, but that will be a while off. For now, my main focus is finishing off the rest of my large steam engines on the list. Containing GWR, LMS, LNER, SR and BR standards.

I started this fleet with the goal of keeping each ship small. I was getting a bit of size creep on some of the microspace ships I built last year. I started with the cruiser and went down in size from there. More views in my microspace album.

For learning to sail, boating holidays right up to Corporate events, their fleet of 48 boats is amazing.

I once crewed on one of their 40ft yachts - once experienced, never forgotten.

Fleet Week 2015 San Francisco Navy ship tours

We had the opportunity to spend 3 days and nights in Newport Oregon. We awoke at 5AM each morning and headed down to the historic bayfront , where the fishing boats dock. Newport is one of the few coastal towns that still has an active fishing fleet, and I would encourage anyone to go down to watch the boats go out in the morning. As long as you are moderately aware of everyone's comings and goings, and are respectful of the fact that these folks have a job to do, they are amazingly patient and friendly with photographers. Just make an effort to stay out of there way.

Each morning was pretty vastly different. Monday the 18th had clear skies, the docks were void of people, as the bar heading into the ocean was closed due to rough seas. This allowed for lots of lens changes and the ability to move freely with a tripod without being concerned with getting in anyone's way. As dark moved to light, the skies were amazing.

Tuesday the 19th brought steady rain, that was supposed to end, but never did. Not much of an opportunity to get out, so messed around with shooting a couple of pics through a rainy windshield.

Wednesday the 20th again brought clear skies, calmer seas, and lots of fisherman looking to get out in the ocean. I went down with my 50mm prime lens, and tried to stay out of people's way, and not be too intrusive. Fun to kind of run and gun.

I was walking along and thought to myself that something looked a bit unusual. Turns out a tree had blown down. It looked pretty much taken over by a vine of some sort. It's been crazy windy with Storm Brendan so I'm suprised I haven't seen more.

So much water too.

Abandoned Vending Machine - Pepsi Soda. USS Taluga (AO-62) was a Cimarron-class World War II oil ship. She was awarded four battle stars during World War II, including attacks by Japanese kamikaze planes. In 1965, the United States began expanding its direct participation in the Vietnam War. Taluga deployed to the western Pacific six times in this era.

Taluga completed her final deployment as a commissioned Navy ship at Long Beach on 13 November 1971. She conducted operations along the coast for another six months. On 4 May 1972, she was decommissioned. In 2010 she was moved to Brownsville, Texas and scrapped. She no longer exists. #abandoned #suisunbay #abandonedca #historic #thisplacemattered #nightphotography #lightpainting

I posted most of these already, but I like them as a group as well.
