Francis is a mystic for whom no intermediary comes between God and his soul. But his mysticism is that of Jesus leading his disciples to the Tabor of contemplation. When, overflooded with joy, they long to build tabernacles that they may remain on the heights and satiate themselves with the raptures of ecstasy, he says to them, “Fools, you know not what you ask.” And directing their gaze to the crowds wandering like sheep having no shepherd, he leads them back to the plain, to the midst of those who moan, who suffer, who blaspheme.

So same thing, was just playing with filters.
Donc la même chose, je ne faisais que jouer avec les filtres.

A westbound train of fracking sand climbs the 2% grade below Tunnel 1 on the Moffat Road. These heavy trains of sand are quite a show. This particular train was cut in two at Denver for the Rocky Mountain grades. Several years ago the Union Pacific asked me to do a large photo mural for the Denver Office building and this is the photo they selected, there is a large 6 foot tall version of this photo in the building... They asked me to fix the ugly 2nd motor :)
I posted another frame of this train previously and decided I liked this one more...Nice part about Flickr is you can do what you want :)
Blackpool tower on the coast seen from the hill outside my village. This is my view every time I leave the village. It will be destroyed by Fracking if the government and gas and oil industry have their way. Up to 1000 well pads planned. Nightmare
3 huge pools of processed fracking fluid a few miles from my dad's house. the run off from this also gave a friend of mine a rash.
this is located just behind a hill so the houses at the bottom of the image do not have a view of the pools (but the rest of the site is very visible).

BNSF train w/b on KO sub, Karnak Trestle. The 2-bottom hoppers usually carry cement, but I think these are carrying fracking sand for the oil fields around Minot. Finally, I think I have nailed this shot! This view shows about 800 ft. of track 180 ft. high. I think I can scale it up for something even bigger! Flash: x3 WL X3200 @ 1/1, with 11 in. long throw reflectors. This is a huge improvement over my first attempt a month ago.
I'm not exactly sure the nickname for this dynamic duo, but they sure do spend a lot of time together. The pair came down to Danville to work alongside Pan Am's DJ-1 and hauled their guts out with 41 cars (sorry, no idea empty to load ratio) which put on quite a show. Seen just souht of Lewiston Junction on final approach to the engine house.
The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government is to decide Cuadrilla’s appeals against the refusal of planning permission for fracking at two sites near Blackpool.
The news came in letters today to the company and Lancashire County Council. They said the Secretary of State, Greg Clark, would rule on the appeals, instead of a planning inspector, as had been planned.
The letter said this was because the proposals were for shale gas and were regarded as “development of major importance”. They had “more than local significance”.
The letter, signed by Mark Boulton on behalf of Mr Clark, said the appeals raised “important or novel issues of development control and/or legal difficulties”.

After being stuck in sweaty leathers for about 90 minutes in 100+ degrees, I couldn't stand it any more, so I started pouring water all over my self. June 2009.
Isn't she beautiful? She has a little white heart on her chest. Frick was finally able to successfully call her into the nesting box right before dawn & she stayed this time. Don't know where Frick stays during the day. My 1st shot of her in low level early morning light. No flash used since she was looking at me. Still no guarantees of babies but this is very encouraging.
