澄み渡る夏空の下、鮮やかに咲き誇るクローバーたち。
Crimson clover and white blossoms standing tall on a beautiful, sunlit day.
This section of the building is wild in that its actually being supported by trusses above so that it can sit over the Metra tracks.
The young birch bolete found in the forest :)
The birch bolete (Leccinum scabrum), commonly known also as the rough-stemmed bolete or scaber stalk, is an edible mushroom in the family Boletaceae. The birch bolete is widespread in Europe, in the Himalayas in Asia, and elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring only in mycorrhizal association with birch trees. It fruits from June to October. This mushroom is also becoming increasingly common in Australia and New Zealand where it is likely introduced. Leccinum scabrum is found in mycorrhiza with birch trees. The birch bolete is edible and is especially enjoyable pickled in brine or vinegar. It is used also in mixed mushroom dishes, fried or steamed.

Młody koźlarek wypatrzony w lesie :)
Koźlarz babka (Leccinum scabrum) – gatunek grzybów z rodziny borowikowatych. Występuje na całej półkuli północnej. Na Półwyspie Skandynawskim sięga po 66o szerokości geograficznej. Na półkuli południowej podano jego występowanie tylko w Australii i Nowej Zelandii. W Europie Środkowej jest pospolity. Również w Polsce występuje pospolicie od lata do jesieni. Rośnie na ziemi, w liściastych oraz mieszanych, często także poza lasem. Rośnie wyłącznie pod brzozami, tworzy bowiem z nimi mikoryzę.

the star found her. or she found the star. in palma's wet streets, the universe arranges itself for those who walk with purpose. striped legs, winter wool, and a reflection that holds more sky than the sky itself.
Trying out my new Nikon 28mm lens. I enjoy this focal length as it allows me to get really close to the subject.
Enjoying some special moments with that little family ;)
Too close for the 150-600 XD
Moments privilégier avec la petite famille ;)
Trop prêt pour le 150-600 XD
Not much autumn colour left, most of it's now on the ground... so I better get round to uploading before the season's over!
A combination of things has meant very little time to keep activity going on here... still been taking lots of shots, just no time to upload :-(
Please hit "L" for the larger on black thang.

With a combined service life of over eight decades, a pair of 1979-built EMD SD40-2s - still in their iconic factory-delivered "multimark" paint scheme - are seen hustling train 3BAL along CPKC‘s Aldersyde Subdivision near Kirkcaldy, Alberta.
Although once ubiquitous as mainline power, today, these fan-favorite locomotives have largely been relegated to work train and yard unit status. Occasionally, as evidenced on this particular day, work trains will have mixed freight tacked on to the head-end, giving the illusion of a typical road train of days gone by; harkening back to a time when the SD40-2s were king.
The fall colors are creeping up the backside of the
East Bank Club in River North Chicago. This is my main dog walking corridor since its out of the way and really only used by neighborhood locals.

Captured in Raahe, Finland. At the bottom of these old mossy steps, there was an overgrown stream and an old well containing a dead mouse and spiders. A truly creepy atmosphere hidden in the woods.
the city closed in. he opened his umbrella and looked up anyway. the sky was still there, somewhere between the windows.
WNYP's afternoon switching job OL-2 out of Olean, NY performs their once a week shuffle of cars at Ardagh Group down in Port Allegheny, PA following early afternoon rain showers.
If you try to shoot this scene today, you'll instead have Erie livery GP15s in place of the Alco pair adorning this photo. It feels like any time anyone posts WNYP Alcos on here now that it comes with a somber mood, lamenting what time and quite frankly poor management has taken both from us as the railfans, and more chiefly the railroad itself. These days Port Allegany is the furthest south these guys travel, having scared away a big chunk of their sand traffic which used to go all the way to Emporium. Regrettably I never managed to chase an Emporium turn for whatever reason, but those runs are pretty well documented all the same so I don't feel too bad. My ever evolving mindset as far as prioritizing shots at the moment dictates I don't always have to go replicate someone else's shot at an important location for my own collection. There are of course still exceptions to that when something really catches my eye, but on the whole my goals lately have been documenting things no one else has. Anywhoser.
Sad boi hours aside, this in fact was a case of me seeing a friend's shots here and wanting it for myself. And y'know what? There's perfectly nothing wrong with that. I milked the heck out of this shoot too. Ardagh is a glass manufacturer, so the typical consist coming down for them is generally two and three bay covered hoppers. Today it seems the morning crew OL-1 will make the trip down here on Thursdays. However, at the time of shooting this, OL-2 was pairing this switch with their thrice-weekly Farmers Valley runs to International Waxes. I was told Wednesdays were the usual day to see this happen, so when I finally got my first glimpse of their train in North Eldred that day, imagine my disappointment when they had no glass hoppers with them. All would be revealed in time however when they got to the split point for the branch to Farmers Valley, tying down their train of tank cars on the main and taking a trip light power down to the port (which by the way, there is no major body of water in this town, so why it has the word port in its name is beyond me). As it turned out, these guys keep some cars on hand on a siding next to the plant. Smart usage of extant rails. Behind the point of view here just slightly to the north, there was a Saint-Gobain plant which also used to get rail service and covered hoppers alike, amid a couple other spurs on the other side of the tracks off to the left and out of view. That Saint-Gobain plant however is currently shuttered and non-operational, with no other tenants on site either. Safe bet it's been at least ten years since they switched there. If only I had a camera and a drivers license sooner! It may still not have been soon enough, but I sure would have seen some other cool stuff which no longer happens on this railroad, like switching reefers out for Cuba Cheese on the Hornell Line.
Sadly there was a reflection shot I nabbed at this very same spot that day with a large puddle behind me, which I accidentally and carelessly deleted while going through my frames in the car that same afternoon. Two years later I still double and even triple check what frames I have selected for deletion before pressing the button now. It was a cool shot, but not worth not taking any more photos that day just to try to preserve the spot for photo recovery software. The thought did linger in my mind though as I fired away shots at the next chase spot going north, imagining the shot I'd lost being permanently overwritten in that moment. Such is life. The daylight was long enough for early April that I was able to get some rather moody shots of these guys switching International Waxes a couple hours later. The newer LED headlights on these units are lens killers in darker conditions, but the right angle can diffuse most strong headlights, so I've found in my many night shoots over the years. I feel it's always worth adding that the crew was exceptionally friendly, and I remember exchanging horn toots with the engineer as I departed Farmers Valley later that evening. Other eventful memories from this day include getting pulled over in Olean and being written for my expired inspection sticker at the time (just another reason to love New York!), and also my dismay at Sheetz for changing their pizza recipe, from the doughy circle style I'd come to love to a thin crust rectangle. Perhaps a cost-cutting measure for them, or someone in corporate just decided they didn't like thick pizza. Either way, I haven't gotten another Sheetz personal pizza since, which is a shame because those were a go-to order for me. There was one other brief moment of frustration even before I got my first shot of the train that day, which by the way due to those LED headlights also caused that first shot to not turn out at all as it was raining at the time. I remember calling up CSX TouchTrace to check a covered hopper for a once a month customer in Rochester, only to find someone had pulled the car on an off day for their service schedule. However for whatever reason they did not replace that car with a new one, so the following morning I at least got redemption with a shot there of a new car going in. It was a day filled with ups and downs, and as an aside the town of Olean even dropped the ticket the state trooper gave me a month later once I fulfilled my inspection duty. None of these details are important to the shot, and yet, they make up a cohesive memory from the day surrounding it. That's worth something in my book. I'm just happy to have this shot with the Alcos above all else.

Crazy Tuesday theme: “LOW ANGLE”
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated.😊
he doesn’t move. the ocean, the breeze, the sailboats — none of it touches him. bent over a glowing screen, with his face in shadow and light behind him, he becomes the emblem of now. he sits like punctuation at the edge of the frame: a full stop at the end of the day, waiting for something that won't return.
Happy Halloween! This glowing blue ghost rose from a neighborhood yard, one arm raised toward the sky and the other resting on a weathered RIP tombstone. Shooting from a low angle made the tattered, gauzy robes look like they were drifting in the dark.

I took this photo when I worked as a marketing manager for a tyre manufacturer, and it was used in advertising campaigns across the world. It was often used as a full page advert in farming magazines. I used a Canon 5D with 12.8 megapixels - who says you need high resolution cameras!
