As soon as ML cleared the mainline switch a coal train with a 2 unit set of helpers blasted out of town and headed up Bozeman Pass.
About a trainlength out of the yard the grade flattens a bit but the power never comes out of Run 8 as the mountain they're climbing looms in the distance.

"the help" .... ... yesterday Baby Jesus was born, for those who are Christians this represents an immense act of God's love for his children ... and it is to that God-Man that we often resort to asking for help .... who among us ... has never needed help ...?! .....
I photographed people I had never met before, I thank them for their sympathy and availability: I met Antonio and his girlfriend, who came to Taormina to spend the last day together, the next day Antonio will leave to go very far, unfortunately leaving his beloved, to see her again who knows when ... I met the Japanese companion of my dear friend Cesare, who flew to the sky many years ago, I knew about his companion, but I had never met her before ... I photographed a sweet Chinese girl that I met on three different occasions, each time with a little more confidence….
these are just a few minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved (confused-blurred-imprecise-undecided) ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus made during the shooting phase, deliberately lengthening the exposure times, and not as an effect created later, in retrospect, in the post phase -production.

Couldn't help my self, and took the drive up to valley view scenic point like a million other visitors do. Last time up there (valley view) for me was in the mid 80's, taking a weekend motorcycle camping trip with some friends. After popping a few bracketed frames 30 minutes earlier when the sun was much stronger, I found that this single exposure image worked the best for the color rendition of the view. This was the last frame taken during my day trip to the park. Like several other photographers up here, with cameras attached to a tripod, all waiting for the sun to light up the few clouds along with the the last rays hitting the peaks. Well it didn't happen, as clouds off the coast, started to block it just minutes after taking this photo. For those down at Horsetail Fall, they got their shot also before the light died. To many people down there, so I came up here.
My wife is setting up for the holidays and we always need help from a little cat. It wasn't long after this shot when Jane made her first climb up the tree. I didn't get a good photo of that because we were not in sync with her misbehaving and my wife scolded the cat before I could focus.

End of an Era.
For years, Zimex Aviation’s ATR72s and 42s (with help from Amapola Flyg) have carried the mail across Sweden for PostNord, connecting cities through the night when everyone else was asleep.
On the night of 29th of august the final flights arrived as PostNord ends its domestic airmail operations 1 of september.
A quiet but historic moment. The end of Sweden’s dedicated postal flights, and the closing of a chapter in Scandinavian aviation.

"A hand reaching out is what friendship is about."
Dedicated to all my flickr friends =D
I'm going to speak from the heart for a minute.
About Covid and the changing state of the world.
A lot has been said about it already, and I wasn't really sure if I should, or even could, say anything that will help. At best I'm a celebrity artist who loves to share his passion for LEGO and make people smile. At worst I'm just a stranger on the internet.
Then I realised that's why I should speak up.
'Cos the LEGO community is full of amazing people who are driven by the desire to help others. And at times like this, it's easy to lose sight of that. It's easy to feel scared and helpless. But the only time you can ever be brave is when you are scared.
And you ARE brave.
And you CAN help.
It might be helping in small ways. By making people smile. Or by helping at-risk people in your community: helping your friends and family to do their shopping whilst they isolate at home or by sharing your last roll of toilet paper with the neighbour over your fence.
That's what I wanted to say. To remind people that we will get through this together. That now, more than ever, your small acts of kindness can mean the world to the person being helped.
Stay Awesome guys.
First try at building my own frame but in fact with the help of 4 friends at various junctures. Could not find the frame stock I wanted so I bought a 10 foot board of cherry and one friend very kindly milled it for me another helped me build a fence for the chop saw to get more accurate cuts another provided a framing clamp This frame will be a reject because of the gap in bottom left corner. I chose to make these frames in cherry because I liked the look better than the more common black frame that I think can be overpowering or distracting from my images. So much for frames being easy to make when you are not really set up for it. I have to go and buy a better finer tooth blade for cleaner cuts. It is nice to see your work framed....something about just posting photos online I feel diminishes them. This is one of 5 photos I sold to a paint customer...I really appreciate that she appreciates my photos in such a tangible way.

I want to take this opportunity to say "THANK YOU" to everyone who visits my page, for your kind comments and friendship. The daily interactions I have with all of you, are a source of companionship that I treasure deeply.
Thank you for your condolences and beautiful words on my Mother's passing. I'm still feeling very sad and miss her so much. My hope is that time will help heal.
This was a spectacular sunset, where I wanted to capture every corner of this enchanted place. I included the people in the frame for perspective and to illustrate the grand scope of the scene.

cwd1212 ~ Fruit - This is one of those assignments where taking a boring picture will be painfully easy. So don't do that. Come up with something creative and interesting!
Totally inspired by the awesome toot. I've been wanting to do something like this for more than a year now ;)
"Sometimes I just need a little help
Why do I try to take the world all by myself
I'm asking you please, a little help
Tell me you'll be there when I need somebody else
I need help!"...
There. I had to say it before someone else did... and I know someone will. I had to do it. Sometimes I have ideas that I can't let go. I'm not saying that they are good ideas... I'm just saying that I have to follow through with them (because I have priorities, you know. And they aren't good ones either). My Christmas shopping isn't done... barely started. The few gifts that I have purchased, aren't wrapped... and I am not sure if I will even remember the "safe places" where I hid them. But this... this is what I needed to do on my very last weekend day off of 2020. I'm not disappointed. Actually, I'm pretty pleased.
I dedicate this to all of my photography friends... the ones that still invite me to shoot with them, knowing that I am almost never available to join them on their weekend adventures, but they still ask... or they make time to include me on a week day... and then they put up with me losing my glasses, forgetting where I laid my remote shutter release down, carrying a vase of fresh flowers while climbing through windows, forget my flashlight, forget my memory card, have a dead camera battery, watch me pull clown costumes out of my bag of props... or better yet, pull out their own clown costumes and join me in photos... and let's not even mention my extreme lack of any sense of direction (Do you have any idea where we are? Because I don't. How do I get back to the room with the _____ ? What door did we come in? How do we get out?) These people encourage me, inspire me, make me laugh, teach me things, make me think, make me wonder, give me hope, make me want to be better and basically... just keep me going. These people, that others warn me about... the ones that I meet in abandoned buildings, or online... are simply the best of the best. Thank you for including me in your lives. (And yes... I stood on this bridge, dressed like this ,alone, in broad daylight, with cars going by (probably because you gave me the courage to do this... so, let's all say it together.... I NEED HELP!!)

D801 shoves hard on the rear of a loaded coal train as the head end and rear end crews do battle with Saugatuck Hill. Manned helpers were required on every coal train going up the hill until very recently, when CSX began adapting the use of DPUs. Even so, occasionally a train will still be pushed over the hill by manned helpers, a rarity in railroading these days. The Executive SD70MACs with the old school BNSF logo on the nose were always my favorite BNSF units.

Has anyone any idea what this is? Or how to fix it?
THIS TINY PARK IN TAMPA, Florida is about as close as you can get to Cuba without leaving the U.S. When you cross through the archway to enter Parque Amigos de Jose Marti (Friends of Jose Marti Park), you’re crossing into Cuban property.
This small bit of American land was donated to the Estado Cubano (Republic of Cuba) in 1956, three years before the communist revolution. The Batista administration officially accepted the property, and the American consul in Havana certified the transaction.
Predictably, the communist revolution and the rise of Fidel Castro complicated the situation. Nevertheless, despite high political tensions, the land remains property of the Republic Cuba. The land title to the park is owned by the Cuban government, and the park contains soil from each of Cuba’s provinces. You’ll also find memorial statutes to two heroes of the Cuban independence: the park’s namesake, Jose Julian Marti Perez, and Jose Antonio de la Caridad Maceo y Grajales.
Early on, the City of Tampa decided to maintain the park but leave management of the park in the hands of the Tampa Cuban-American community. In the early 1960s the area was a hub for clashes between pro-Castro and anti-Castro Cubans. In 1990, former Mayor Sandy Freedman entrusted the park management to an anti-Castro activist group called the Cuban Historical and Cultural Center which still maintains the grounds.
The park was donated to the communist island by Paulina Pedroso, a prominent female leader of the Cuban revolution and close companion of Marti. It’s located at the site of Pedroso’s boarding house, where Marti stayed during his various visits to Tampa and where Pedroso helped Marti recover from an assassination attempt in 1892.
The park is only open Monday to Friday from 8:00am-1:30pm, but due to the small size of the park, all of the park can be seen from behind the gates.
