Automobiles stream up the highway towards the stars at Zion National Park.

 

Here's a shot of the Canyon Junction from the east, looking towards the Canyon Overlook and the highway towards the Tunnel.

After a several hundred foot climb straight up the canyon William McIntosh and I found our exact spot from the last trip. I made my way across "the ledge" first and observed the view, The ledge is a 3-4 inch rift/crack in the granite face about 5 feet long and to cross one must lean as close to the rock face as possible in order to keep your balance, once across it opens to "the perch" which is a ledge that has a 20-30 foot high vertical drop and an odd area 8x10 or so square that provides a 180 degree view out over the valley including the Watchman. I surveyed the area and about 10 sec later decided Bill could have this spot all to himself, It was no place for two people in the dwindling twilight, plus its easier to get across onto the ledge If you could have someone hand up your gear, as it requires both hands and nerves of steel. I spotted Bill with my hands up like a climber bouldering, as he traversed across the secret ledge to get into his shooting position on the perch, but I had other plans. I made a few shots and after an hour or so I bailed on Bill for another vantage point down in the valley below. He was going to have to backtrack across the ledge on his own, with his gear, in the dark, all alone, because your not going to see any other photogs' way up here, Haha. I did have some trepidation about leaving Bill here alone again, last time I left him here he took a tumble on the way down and we ended up tweezing several cactus needles out of his shin, I had decided it was a good night for testing out every lens in my bag that was fast enough to capture the Milky Way and did so varying capture techniques, sometimes you have to sacrifice a bit time to further the learning process and I'm glad that I did. Hope you like this one.

 

The tricky part of this shot was trying to get only cars traveling up the road so that all the lights are red, so I just waited and continue shooting until that happens. This images consists of two exposures, one for the sky at 20 secs 3200 and another 4 min. exposure for the foreground at 1600 ISO.

Late night at San Diego Harbor Drive

Looking for the light rail train in Seattle.

Straight out of camera. Handheld.

The mountain ridge of the "Ritten" is accessed by a meter-gauge interurban tramway that connects the main villages of Oberbozen and Klobenstein. This section is the remaining part of the former Bozen - Klobenstein tramway with a long rack section. The set shown here is on the short section from Assumption of the Virgin Mary to Oberbozen, which is now only served a few times a day.

An experiment with Light Trails.

I need to work on it a bit and find a more exciting location to do this.

 

I am lacking something like the Spagetti Junction in Birmingham UK to do this sort of thing on.

Tram (or Light Rail)

Vor dem sehenswerten historischen Bahnhofsgebäude der Brüsseler Station Schaarbeek steht der Niederflurwagen 2051 als nächste Fahrt der Linie 94 nach Fort Jaco bereit.

Far beyond its old haunts of Upminster, Parsons Green and Ealing Broadway, this former London Underground District Line D78 unit has been shipped across the Atlantic to its current home of the Rockhill Trolley Museum.

 

When replaced by new S8 rolling stock, Vivarail acquired a stock of redundant D78 units, repurposing them as low-cost material with upgraded technology. Now bearing the British TOPS number of 230 011, this and another 2-car train (230 002) are trialling battery propulsion on the 2-mile Rockhill track, demonstrating its feasibility for use in metro and light rail systems.

Best bridge in the world? Certainly one of the most photogenic. London at its best.
