At 0545, this veteran EMD GP38-2 awaits a full day of work as the sun begins to rise over Guelph Junction.
« L’horloge de la plage du Centenaire, véritable icône de la digue-promenade, est un symbole emblématique du front de mer de Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, sur la majestueuse Côte d’Opale. Érigée dans les années 1930 dans le pur style Art Déco, cette élégante horloge à quatre faces domine la vaste plage de sable fin et rythme depuis près d’un siècle les promenades chics le long de la Manche. Vestige de l’âge d’or de la station balnéaire fréquentée par l’élite parisienne et britannique, elle incarne l’élégance intemporelle du Touquet et défie les éléments avec une présence majestueuse, surtout sous un ciel orageux dramatique. Un incontournable du patrimoine balnéaire nordique ! »
“The Centenaire Beach Clock, the iconic landmark of the seafront promenade, is an emblematic symbol of the waterfront in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, on the magnificent Opal Coast. Erected in the 1930s in pure Art Deco style, this elegant four-faced clock towers over the vast expanse of fine sandy beach and has marked time for nearly a century along the chic walks beside the English Channel. A remnant of the golden age of this upscale seaside resort frequented by Parisian and British high society, it embodies the timeless elegance of Le Touquet and stands defiantly against the elements with majestic presence – especially dramatic under a stormy sky. A must-see piece of northern French coastal heritage!”
Stress rans like a plague in New York City. New Yorkers walk around like zombies on high octane caffeine. Everyone appears to be stressed. I wonder if they see it too every morning in the mirror. I see them everywhere but the place to observe is in the subway trains. Interesting stoic faces. Paradoxically, I found the New Yorkers quite helpful when you ask for help in getting directions. They want their own space but most are willing to help.
Meanwhile, it started to rain, and she didn’t bring an umbrella. She’s afraid her groceries will get wet. Moreover, she worried about her eye shadow make-up getting messed up.

Two consecutive cat shots; that has to be a first for me. But how could I pass up the chance of grabbing a shot of this fella?
Down in Tsukishima today giving Lucy a lesson, in which we were working on the 'leading the eye with colour' project. Some great material for that and then in one of the little back-alleys we spied this chap sunning himself.
This wasn't for the project, but here it is should you be interested in having a go.

During our holiday I tried a few things with my camera which I have not done as much - like full-on backlight photography. This is from the same meadow as in the previous shot - the camera just pointed in the opposite direction straight into the setting sun. I'm quite happy with the flares and lit contours of the flowers from that lovely golden light.

I was standing in the water holding my camera a few centimeters above the water. Just before the wave reached me I pulled the camera upwards into a save distance. Quite a fun but also a bit risky game, but I was fast ;) It took me more than a dozen attempts to get this one. I used a wide angle lens to increase the dramatic effect, the waves had only a height of about 30 cm. In LR I converted the image into b/w and mainly increased blacks and enhanced highlights and clarity.
When processing the image I was thinking about Sebastião Salgado and the images in his book Genesis.

In capturing this image, I was drawn to the fascinating tension between geometric rigor and poetic expression in modern brutalist architecture. I deliberately chose a low-angle perspective to monumentalize the structure, while carefully isolating its essential elements – the clean lines, sharp angles, and textured surfaces – to reveal the abstraction hidden within the everyday.
By converting to black and white, I aimed to accentuate the contrasts and partially dematerialize the building, transforming the concrete into a canvas where light and shadow engage in subtle dialogue. My minimalist approach invites the viewer to contemplate these pure forms and consider how contemporary architecture, despite its apparent coldness, can create moments of austere beauty within our urban landscape.
Through this composition, I wanted to challenge the conventional perception of brutalist structures as merely functional, instead highlighting their capacity for visual poetry when viewed through a contemplative lens.
Sand ripples on the mud flats. The bottom of the ocean becomes the top of the land when the sea pulls away.
The grist mill in Babcock State Park is the most photographed spot in West Virginia. I tried to shoot it with a slightly unique angle from what you typically see. The fall leaves were prefect this year and I couldn't have asked for better weather.
Just getting back into some posting here on the blog after some busy weeks. This was shot about three weeks ago, on a very pleasant evening with some friends in Yanaka. The hanami time is so beautiful in this part of Tokyo and so much more relaxed than the alcohol-fuelled craziness of nearby Ueno Park.

Looking up and catching a glimpse of the sky between the tall trees - it's gray today.

Im back after a bit of a break, build up to Christmas makes me busy at work. A water Rail at low angle, Get down ,get dirty.
The first stop of the trip was the airport, where they had a few setouts to make.
It wasn't clear before, but if you look close enough in this photo, you'll notice that there is not just two but three SD60's. They ran a matching trio this time. Nice!
The third unit was set further back in the consist, so when they pulled up to the airport, the cut away the power on the front, backed the cars in with the locomotive further back, and then pulled back out onto the main and backed the power back on.
Scott and Sam were both cool with us walking up to shoot them backing into the airport, and we found this puddle when we walked up. I bet the guys got a kick out of seeing the whole group of us crouched down around the same tiny puddle to get the reflection shot.
Nebraska Central SD60 2197 switches the spur at the Grand Island Airport outside Grand Island, Nebraska, July 5, 2024.
A low-angle monochrome study of the UOB Plaza in Singapore. The sharp, interlocking geometric forms of the skyscraper create a powerful sense of verticality and modern precision against a brooding sky.
Another low level, wide angle shot in front of the Russian church on the seafront road in Havana, Cuba.

At first glance this appears to be as the title describes, but in actual fact this was shot at low tide on a local beach with the camera at ground level and the rocks in the picture are only 2 - 3 feet in height.

A low to ground composition of the magnificent Mooney Falls at Havasu, Arizona.
After a pretty long downhill hike carrying some seriouly heavy gear, we reached the top of this falls. Lured by its sheer beauty, we decided to get to the bottom of the falls through a series of tunnels and ladders which I would say, redefines the word 'treacherous'. I am glad we all made it back safe but not something I would recommend everyone to do.
