In St James' Park, London. Was about to switch to a telephoto when it came over to say hello so no need.
Ok... I promise this is the last squirrel photograph. End of my experiment with this squirrel - it is definitely not afraid of getting close. They are actually very fast and seem to communicate in some way with other squirrels. Apparently friendly, they like to be fed seeds, nuts, fruit. Enough of my friendly squirrel!

Even though the Southern Pacific was known as the friendly, crews along than the Sunset Route still lived up to the name even though the company changed and I'm not a "unauthorized rider", all the road crews and local for that matter out of Tucson were more than interested to see someone out shooting. These guys saw me the day prior at Mescal oddly enough on this trains counterpart albeit an extra, and were laying on the horn and waving accordingly. The same applied here later in the afternoon after a solid morning of rest before hitting the rails again for a evening run to El Paso, Texas.
Der ostasiatische Drache ist ein zwiespältiges Wesen mit überwiegend positiven Eigenschaften: Regen- und Glücksbringer und Symbol der Fruchtbarkeit und der kaiserlichen Macht (aus Wikipedia).
Auch beim Maskenzauber in Hamburg stand er nicht auf der dunklen Seite der Macht ;-).

I was treated to lots of friendly horn action from the crew of NS 21Z, aka "The Zipper" (Rutherford, PA to Chicago, IL, 63rd St., Park Manor Yard hotshot trailers/containers) as he flew through downtown Brimfield, Indiana on NS' ex-LS&MS/NYC/PC/CR Chicago Line. I'm sure they've seen me before as I've shot the evening parade countless times which includes the Zipper. At the time of this shot 21Z's crew took 20K home the following day back east to Toledo as a regularly assigned set of trains, (although that may have changed since) and as it turned out I got the same friendly horn the following day from 20K with the same crew. NS 2585 is an SD70M built in Oct. of 2000 for NS. The NYC era tri-light signals are still in service here.
A friendly stop of sunlight and 1950s setting. A happier place to have a cup of coffee would be hard to find. The owner greeted us the moment we walked in the door. I like that kind of place.
I wonder sometimes what people thinks when I slam on the brakes with my bike, make a U-turn back and photograph such a motif.
