Great thing about desert around Dubai is that the sand is orange with very thin layer of red sand on the top which adds additional richness to the overall color. Desert safari in Dubai is very touristic thing to do, but it is big fun too. They generally stop at some lovely place just before sunset and give you a chance to take some photos with a wonderful light too.

 

A trip to the desert offers a real adventure into the magnificent landscape of the unique sands of Arabia. This safari tour takes you right into the heart of the desert where you experience the excitement of a roller-coaster tour down the astonishing high dunes. A stop for a breathtaking view of the endless desert gives an opportunity to watch the sun-set over this tranquil scenery.

Al Mukhala - is the capital of Hadramout and one of Yemen’s ports on the Arabian Sea. It was known as Khaisa or Bandar Yakoub and has been called Mukalla only recently.

 

Fishermen were the first to settle in Mukalla, having immigrated from adjacent regions, In this city, the first Princedom of Al-Kasad was established in the 18th 19th century AD, This prosperity gave this city the architectural style of Coastal cities which lie on the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea such as Aqaba, Jeddah, Hodeidah, Mokha, Luhayya, and Aden. All these cities lost their original style, which may now be seen only in the old ‘downtown’ of Mukalla city. It is a style combining the features of Arabian and south-east Asian architecture. Mukalla’s Prominent Features Ma’een Palace, which was built by Sultan Omer Bin Awadah Qu’aiti. Mukalla Archaeological Museum now occupies a part of this palace.

It’s not usual to see snow covering the streets of my town. However, from to time to time, we are blessed with a small snowfall—not so big as to create serious trouble, but big enough to enjoy a white landscape for a day or two. On such rare occasions, I love to take my camera and snap a few pictures.

 

The day in question started with a big snowfall; I decided to take my car before snow blocked the road. After a few kilometers, I parked my car and I started walking through the falling snow—a sensation almost forgotten for me.

 

I wandered into a local forest—it was amazing to see how different it looked compared to a normal day. The sky was like a white blanket; there was plenty of light, but it was difficult to see anything in the distance. The absence of color was noticeable; it seemed like everything was covered in a light blue tint and there were no shadows anywhere.

(Disclaimer: Those of you who follow me on Facebook or railpictures.net probably already saw this shot, so I share this (1) For my Flickr friends who haven't seen it (2) To share a longer version of the story behind this shot.)

 

For those who read all the way to the end, I left yesterday's post with a little bit of a cliffhanger. Tonight, I bring you the conclusion. As I mentioned, by the time Alco S-1 #5 was ready to bring Alco RS-36 #5019 and the former UHRR coach south, daylight was fading. I was able to get a few more daylight shots at Riparius, The Glen, and a little north of Thurman before the light was totally gone.

 

At Thurman, the 5 ran around its train on the siding so that it could shove it the rest of the way south. First, this provided an opportunity to get a decent long exposure of the 5--now at the other end of the train--as my good friend Brad Peterson (who followed behind the train in his hi-rail truck) lit it up pretty well with his headlights. Second, this now meant that the 5019 would "lead" the rest of the way south. Though the 5019 was dead and inoperable, the crew used a generator to run the headlights and stationed a crew member in its cab. Normally--not being a night photographer (other than occasional long exposures)--I would have been done taking photos after Thurman. However, earlier in the southbound chase, an opportunity presented itself from an unexpected place...

 

In addition to myself, John Sesonske, John's friend Jeff, and Max Brisben, one other photographer had been tipped off about this secret move. Yes, Hal himself let Kevin Burkholder know about the move to ensure there would be some night shots. Now, believe me, I know Kevin is a bit controversial in the railroad photography world. I for one was not happy when he removed a leased unit from a shot on Cuttingsville Trestle on the Green Mountain Railroad and posted it to railpictures.net (which thus resulted in the "VTR 431 World Tour," which--for the most part--was an innocent, fun way to poke fun at the situation). But--I have to say--especially in light of certain photographers yelling at friends of mine on the Batten Kill, Kevin has always been friendly to me trackside. Such was the case when John, Jeff, and I ran into him in North Creek.

 

When I left to get water in North Creek, Kevin asked me if I'd pick him one up, too, and flipped me a few bucks. A little bit later at Riparius, he asked me, "Hey, did you bring your tripod?" Then, he explained that he had arranged with the crew to stop the train on the bridge at Hadley for a night shot and invited me to join him. He said it was the least he could do for picking up a water for him. Well, how could I say no to an opportunity like that?

 

After getting my long exposures at Thurman, I hit the road. Kevin had arrived at Hadley just before me and was already setting of his flashes. Meanwhile, I scoped out the best spot for us to stand for the shot. After getting into position, Kevin generously offered to do as many test flashes as I needed to ensure I had my composition exactly as I wanted and my focus as good as I could get it (and boy was the latter tough!!). It appeared to me that Kevin was going to shoot horizontal, and--just to confirm--I asked him. So, partially to make sure the two of us covered slightly different angles of the event--along with my general preference to shoot "tall" bridge shots like this vertically (think, once again, Cuttingsville)--I opted to shoot vertical.

 

At 11:20 PM, the train rolled onto the bridge and stopped exactly where we hoped it would. This was the result. Though I can take credit for finding where to stand and the composition, I wouldn't have been able to do it without Kevin providing the flash.

 

After this, the story of the night was not through, however. Though Batten Kill owner Bill Taber had helped run the train north, he had swapped out with someone else to flag crossings on the southbound trip. I knew Bill wasn't as familiar with the crossing locations as I was, so I checked in with him at one of the crossings south of town. I asked how things were going, to which he responded, "Disorienting." So, I offered to help guide him and the other flagger to the rest of the crossings. As we were on our way to the next crossing, the crew started giving Bill directions to the next crossing when he radioed them back that he had an "escort" now (haha). Having never worked for a railroad, to me it was a fun way to "join the crew" and help make sure the 5019 safely reached its destination. After flagging the final crossing, Bill thanked me and said I was a big help. That made my night. As cool as this shot was, memories like that are why I'll remember this chase for the rest of my life.

Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with MS. That's why I registered for the MS Walk and that's why I'm asking you to support my fund raising efforts with a tax-deductible donation.

 

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to ending the devastating effects of MS but they can't do it without our help. It's faster and easier than ever to support this cause that's so important to me. Simply go to nationalmssociety.org and go under pledge/sponsor a participant and look under Jennifer Rock.

Any amount, great or small, helps to make a difference in the lives of people with MS. I appreciate your support and look forward to letting you know how I do.

 

P.S. If you would like more information about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, how proceeds from the MS Walk are used, or the other ways you can get involved in the fight against MS, please visit nationalmssociety.org.
