OSR's ex-Canadian Pacific SW1200 "Pups" 1249 and 1210 run light power back to CAMI moments after sunset on a chilly March evening.
I have so many heron pictures lol. Found 3 separate herons this past Saturday. I particularly liked the background foliage in these ones.
Selling in the East Village on Christmas Eve 2020 and there's hardly anyone around. When my friend said Manhattan was deserted, he wasn't kidding.

in the second view I have placed more sand texture in foreground. Further the mountain range has increased the cloudy cover.
Stokksnes is a headland on the southeastern Icelandic coast, near Hofn and Hornafjördur. This photo was taken during a sunset in Stokksnes , one of my favorite locations for coastal photography along the south east coast of Iceland. A stiched use of my 18mm gives this view of an ultra wide lens.
Here's another 2 shot panorama from my last visit to Venice Beach when huge gray and blue clouds smothered most of the skyline over the Pacific. I've written a lot about the day I had there and will try not to repeat too many things but there's always that chance haha. I took about 360 shots on the day covering the hour before sunset until about an hour after and so far I've tried to mix up the posts to show all the different aspects I saw while there. There's been some examples of the waves, the reflections, the dark sky with patches of incredibly bright sunlight pouring through, a few 2-4 shot panoramas and some color in the opposite directions but I guess this is the first post that shows the tiny strip of sunset I've described briefly.
When I was driving there, I fully expected cloudy conditions since the view outside the windshield is the same I'd eventually see at Venice. When I leave the apartment, I can see bits of sky in all directions from around Sunset Blvd and in the event I have time to choose my destination, I'll pull up the street view GPS and see if any locations I've visited head in the direction of the most interesting clouds or color. On this day however, I made up my mind to go to Venice. The only question would be whether the sky would allow any color to come through. For the most part, the answer was no and generally, all the photos I shot are primarily blue or gray from the heavy cloud cover.
The reflections were pretty amazing even though I expected the tide to be higher from some of the rain the few days prior and the waves were fairly impressive. It seems that when I'm here on the flat, straight shore, my default is becoming panoramas even though there's less margin for error and more work to get them to fit. I can get so close to the water and the view between the pier and the the rocks by the lifeguard headquarters is completely unobstructed, so it always feels like even 18mm from that close doesn't get the full feel of what I'm seeing with my own eyes. I think I prefer 2 frames at 18mm since it's easier to get the perspective right but I can pull off 3 frames if I crop a bit at the ends. There's always this weird optical illusion to me that the horizon is crooked mainly because the surf isn't always exactly parallel to it and this shot to some degree shows that. The horizon is straight and the angle of the breaking waves broke left to right leaving it slightly askew.
I still have a lot of interesting shots and views to show from here but I will try to mix in some other, less gloomy captures from elsewhere and also some new panoramas of downtown LA from different much different angles than I've done in the past. Oh, and of course I'll still be giving you the occasional Scotch portrait as he continues to mend from his surgery. Today started badly with us waiting at the vet for it to open but since getting back around 10AM, he's been feeling well, is happy and about as quiet as I can remember since he was 11 or so. I'm still really optimistic that the surgery will be a success and can't wait to remove the sutures in about 2 weeks and let him get back to the activities he used to love and that kept him young for so many years :)

Panorama of the Eiffel Tower
This was quite an interesting idea of me. There are thousands of photos on the internet of the Eiffel tower taken frontally. So I had this idea to flip my camera 45° from its vertical position to create an interesting angle of the tower. But in order to fit in the whole construction from its foot to the top, there was no other way but to shoot it in 3 steps.
The 3 photos where then merged together in Photoshop.
Personally I believe it worked out well.

Thank you for visiting my page! Feel free to also fave and leave a comment on the photo to let me know what you think.
MC 2009, an EMD GP28 rests in the yard at Hyannis, MA. Thanks to the folks at the shop here for letting me walk around and take some photos.
Taken from a lower angle, while sitting on the beach. I missed most of the action, but managed to get this one.
Feels good to be back where I belong: at the throttle of a steam locomotive. It has been about two weeks since I ran a steam locomotive, the last one was a little smaller than my favorite which is good old reliable number 90.
It was very sad visiting Martin Place after the Lindt Café siege.
Pray for peace & safety ....
May the Christmas season fill your home with joy, your heart with love and your life with laughter. Have a safe holiday.
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!

he waded through the water the way fishermen wade through rivers — slowly, with purpose, with boots that knew the depth. behind him the building rose in white ribs and curved bones, a skeleton of glass and concrete that someone had once called the future. he was not the future. he was the man who kept the future clean. the pole in his hand reached across the water like a sentence that hadn't finished, and the building behind him waited the way buildings wait — with patience, with indifference, with the quiet certainty that someone would always come to take care of it.
Cape Bojeador Lighthouse, also known as Burgos Lighthouse, is a cultural heritage structure in Burgos, Ilocos Norte, that was established during the Spanish Colonial period in the Philippines. It was first lit on March 30, 1892, and is set high on Vigia de Nagpartian Hill overlooking the scenic Cape Bojeador where early galleons used to sail by. After over 100 years, it still functions as a welcoming beacon to the international ships that enter the Philippine Archipelago from the north and guide them safely away from the rocky coast of the town.
