Egypt - Luxor - Hot air balloon flight over Nile West Bank & Temples in Valley of the Kings - طيبة - UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site on banks of river Nile - الأقصر - al-Uqṣur
See ancient Luxor from a different angle. Imagine drifting silently over temples at dawn, not only seeing ancient sites and ruins but also villages waking up in the early morning sun. Sail through the air over sugar cane fields and temples. See desert land and the Nile in the distance. See if you can spot Medinet Habu, the Ramesseum, Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon or maybe have a conversation with the locals as you drift a few metres from their rooftops. Experience the thrill of perceiving the beauty of Luxor from amidst the crease of clouds. The blue horizon as the backdrop and the colorful air balloons floating across it looks amazing in the skyline of Luxor at the break of dawn. The saffron rays of sun sweeping the city with its first shimmer and you are flying off on a hot air balloon to appreciate the wondrous beauty of the city.
This is exactly how I felt during balloon flight over Luxor. I actually had to come twice for it as the first time I booked it was too windy and the balloon could not take off. What I didn’t know was that would be hot-air balloon crash just the next day after my flight last weekend : Three Egyptian operators and 13 foreign tourists were hurt when the balloon came down during a tour of the ancient city of Luxor. Several people were taken to hospital with minor injuries after the balloon apparently hit a mobile phone mast. It is the latest of several recent incidents involving balloons in Egypt.

Asia - Laos - Vientiane Province - Vang Vieng - Small traditional town surrounded by Limestone Hills - Nam Song River with long tail boats
Vang Vieng is a small town surrounded by mountains & rivers. The main attractions are caves, Hmong villages, and the natural mountain scenery. A favorite with travelers - many stay longer than planned. However this town became too famous for them and became a party village. Music and noise last until late night. The market is located five kilometers north of the town selling Lao textiles, household items and several stalls selling dubious foodstuffs. It is possible for stalls to sell bats, squirrels, monkeys, rats, mice and other animals as food. In the town there is a wat that is notable in looking rundown and keeping its valuables chained behind a door.
The real attractions of the area are the scenery, the limestone hills and the numerous caves and caverns. Vang Vieng is set along the banks of the Nam Song River. In the near distance towering behind Vang Vieng are the most incredible rock formations. They are jagged limestone karsts that tower above the jungle - steep walls which have somehow eluded the jungle's grasp. In the morning hours a fine mists hovers just above the jungle at the base of these formations. In the evenings they form an incredible back drop for picture taking during the "golden hour."

Last month I was visiting the beautiful township of “La Baronia de Rialb” in the northeast of the “La Noguera” region in Catalonia. The weather was not very good; the closest mountains were covered with fog and the sun was only visible for a few moments. It might not have been the best day to capture landscapes, but with such weather it was the perfect opportunity to add some motion blur to my pictures and create a few interesting abstracts.
This photo was taken on the small plain behind the “Mas Barrat,” an old farm that is now in ruins. In it, a few century-old pine trees can be observed.

I was looking to get a liquid crown, in this case I used milk, and I wanted to shoot it from the top to emphasize the perfect circle created during the impact. The surprise was a total inspected drop forming an inner crow.

Joining 923 was its sibling 921, also very much in NCT livery but fully de-branded inside and out. Given that I’m not overly keen on the Redfern livery as applied to Omnidekkas, with the yellow stripes sitting awkwardly across the front, the longer it remains in NCT silver and teal the better!
Many of Nottingham’s N-series Omnidekkas have been bought by the same operators that took in the older 4-series type circa 8 years back, with Redfern plus Lincoln’s own PC Coaches being just two of those. Seemingly there’s not much hierarchy between the older N94UDs and newer N270/230UDs with them both being used interchangeably on the same work, despite the age difference. It’s weird when some operators (like Redfern) have 61 plates used only on schools work, while other operators (like Sanders) still have 53 plates going in front-line service. Then again, the N94UDs are said to be better.

Saxon Switzerland (German: Sächsische Schweiz) is a mountainous climbing area and national park around the Elbe valley south-east of Dresden in Saxony, Germany. Together with the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic it form the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
The Elbe Sandstone Mountains lie in the far Southeast of Germany, only 30 kilometres from Dresden, between the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) and the Lusatia Mountains (Lausitzer Bergland). They extend from the town of Pirna across the Czech border to the town of Decin in Bohemia. The German part is known as Saxon Switzerland and covers 368 square kilometres of stunning landscape. During the Cretaceous period, between 1,444 and 66 million years ago, a stretch of sea covered the land where today you will find gorges, mesas and rock towers in abundance. The region was formed when rivers flowing from the peaks of the Ore mountains deposited sediment and seashells as the waters flowed to the sea. Technically speaking the Elbe Sandstone Mountains are not mountains at all. The landscape was formed by erosion, from water and wind, which created the region's distinctive features; sandstone blocks, u-shaped valleys and vertical walls, which descend in several steps and are broken up into spurs and rock towers.

(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.
