A small crowd formed at Monarch to witness the unbelievable sight for 2021 of three SD40-2Fs cowl units powering a train on a Class 1 railroad. Here the dynamic trio are pulling towards to west switch at Monarch to begin spotting a customer and lifting their train of empty ballast cars. Unfortunately for us, that also spelled the end of our short chase in daylight.
Thunderstorms in the upper Midwest of the US this year have been returning to what was once their typical behavior. Fueled by the waning heat of a rapidly retreating sunset, ordinary clouds suddenly boil over into massive, powerful thunderheads within a few minutes due to cooler air as night approaches. This leads to spectacular summer cloud-watching displays. My neighbors and I emerge from our homes to enjoy the enormous forms swirling above us, lit in almost theatrical splendor. The final display of solar rays illuminating faraway mountains of water vapor is, for us, unequaled in beauty.

Einige Plätze für unseren Workshop im Januar sind noch frei:
Fitness instructor, Steff Owens, jumps elegantly from the railings of a London landmark at London Tower bridge.
Lighting: 2 SB28 units from either side - one bare from behind left, creating the rim (on a low power), the other from the right through a white brolley. Both flashes triggered with pocket wizards.

In September 2015, I was scouting out and photographing numerous sites around Lake Tahoe, California and many sites in the Eastern Sierras for a short 5 days.
One the night of September 17, I took the Bonsai Rock Milky Way shot with the moon just above the distant mountain peaks.
The next day we moved down into the Eastern Sierras where I had been planning to photograph the iconic bristlecone pine tree with the Milky Way. Little did I know on the way down how well the moon would come into play with my night sky photography work there.
I used a long established technique to get the moon rays in this shoot while I light painted the bristlecone pine tree with my special light.
In 2017, I will have two 5 day Milky Way photography workshop in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah, one over the 3rd week in March and one over the 3rd week in April.
During each of the two workshops, I will conduct 3 4+ hour Milky Way Photoshop post processing session where I teach all the techniques I used to create this final photo but this time it will be more of what is called a "Deep Dive" PS post processing session and workshop participants will need a laptop with Photoshop CS 2017. Lightroom will work but lacks some functionality used in what I will teach.

My Milky Way night sky photography workshops
In 2017, I will be leading two 4 day photography workshops in Jackson Hole. During both workshops, I will take my group out for 3 nights of my Milky Way night sky workshop.
My 2017 4-5 day photography workshop schedule:
ANP, Canyonlands & Monument Valley - March 24-29
Icons of the Southwest w/Ryan Smith - April 23-28
Jackson Hole, Wyoming spring - June 21-25
Jackson Hole, Wyoming fall - September 19-23
The great part is that in 2017 I will return to Jackson Hole for the incredible wildflowers throughout the valley and the surrounding mountains.

Time to chill out to Adele's song ... Hello.
Thanks for stopping by.
Iowa Northern Railway train BUWA has IANR 4100, 3809, 3802, and 3803 for power on this December Sunday to make the run from Butler Yard near Shell Rock, Iowa to Bryant Yard in Waterloo. The train had 75 cars out of Butler, but have brought the head 15 into the CN Waterloo Yard for interchange. In the background EJE 667, still in orange, is paused in between it's duties as the yard switch engine, and a few other motors are laying around at the engine facility including EJE 658 in CN paint.
The CN is in the process of purchasing the IANR but is still awaiting STB approval, and so this is perhaps a bit of a look into the future. Meanwhile the past is well represented in this view too, as the Illinois Central Roundhouse here in the background has been present in at least in some form, (it's had stalls added and removed over the years) back to as far as 1901 (and possibly longer, it was hard to pin down a good date for the roundhouse construction from just some quick online research).
The Iowa Northern Railway uses the CN Mainline in Waterloo and Cedar Falls for a few miles from Waterloo West to Cedar Falls Junction as part of an arrangement going back to the 1980s and a highway project that saw the consolidation of some lines in Waterloo to make room for US 218. Normally from what I've seen the interchange work is typically done by the IANR in either direction at some siding tracks just west of Waterloo West and so they don't come into the yard like this. But occasionally when traffic warrants the CN will have the IANR come directly into the "A Yard" here at the Waterloo Terminal to make their setout and pickup as seen here. They would tie onto a cut of cars and shove back out of the yard to the rest of their train waiting on the mainline.
I had gone out after this BUWA even though it was likely to be a cloudy day because IANR 4100 on the point is one of the road's newest units (arrived to the IANR in August 2023 per some online notes, though it's originally a C&O unit) and still looks pretty sharp. But it was a nice bonus to get them making this less-common move, and this angle normally would be a heavily backlit-view if the sun were present.
Almost two identical pairs, in the form of SD38-2 1653 with SD40-2 6012, and double GP40-2s 3140 and 9618, sit outside the CN Walker Yard shops soaking up the Autumn afternoon sun.
The former pair had just pulled out of the workshops and it was good timing to get the four together.
Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble.
Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated (see map). In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate climates. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring.
For Mosaic Montage Monday theme of Fluid Forms is this montage of the young curled fern frond at the Dale Chihuly Exhibit at the Adelaide Botanic garden and an overlay of flowing lines and dots. Many of Dale Chihuly pieces exhibit flowing curls and curves too indicating fluidity. HMMM
Tekergős járatával érkezik Rákoskeresztúr és Madárdomb határán található egyik megállójába a BKV egyik Ikarus 412-es autóbusza (Ikarus 412.10A, BPI-020, később AA CV-201). Budapestre az ezredforduló környékén érkezett a típus, ezáltal a BKV első alacsonypadlós buszai lettek ezek. Ezek Magyarországon az Ikarus 400-as széria utolsó képviselői, melyek már csak a fővárosban közlekednek, néhány alacsonypadlós autó- és trolibusz formájában.
@Fotosöndag: Form kan vara vad som helst. Därför kom jag att fundera på, vilken form som kan vara avgörande för att fylla en funktion. Det första som dök upp var en "gammaldags" blyertspenna som måste formas med hjälp av en pennvässare för att fungera.
Named after the distinctive white band at the base of bill. Medium size, grayish-brown goose, with irregular black barring on underparts; orange feet and legs. Bill distinctive orange in Greenland form with whitish tip. Most young birds acquire white front and bill during first Winter; acquire black belly markings by second Fall. Color and size vary in adults: small, pale arctic tundra birds have heavy barring; taiga breeding birds are larger, darker with less barrings. Greenland form has heaviest barrings. Casual and increasing Winter visitor on East coast from Quebec to Georgia, although the goose is very uncommon east of the Mississippi River.
This lone goose was among hundreds of Canadian Geese near an icy campus lake, Mt. Holyoke College. Was a very cold, overcast day here today. The sun just peeked out for a few minutes and I caught this shot. The bird is rare for this month and in this region of US.

Thanks to all of you who 'fave' and comment on the photograph.
J'ai pris ces photos un matin, à 5h40, lorsque le soleil se levait..
I took these pictures a morning at 5:40am, during the sunrise

A still from the video I posted recently. RAW to render. No processing. This one struck me as some kind of sea creature. But it's just ice.
