Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)
This one was in a hurry on the Vic Uni Pond on this day last year.
On its release in March 1961 Enzo Ferrari called it "the most beautiful car ever made". That really is a statement and one many enthusiasts agree with. The E-Type Jaguar was built from 1961 through until 1975 and when launched was able to claim a 150 mph capability. Blurring added in pp.
A quartet of EMD SD40T-2s ramp up D&RGW train No. 242 as it approaches the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon at Mapleton, Utah the morning of June 30, 1989. 5350 is from Rio Grande’s first order of 15 “Tunnel Motors” in 1974, and was one of 15 to be repainted into SP “speed lettering”. UP sent the trusty EMD out to pasture (renumbered UP 8609) in June of 2003.
Union Pacific's Wattis Plateau - Intermountain Power coal train glides through rural Mills, Utah along Chicken Creek with SD60Ms 6142, 6139, and 6144 in charge. The ghost town of Mills is 20 miles west of Nephi and 25 miles east of Lynndyl on the old Provo Subdivision. June 13, 1990
Utah Railway's RUT312 local crosses Interstate 215 on the road to Salt Lake City with cars for the Salt Lake Garfield & Western Railway and Holly Refining, Co. The final vestige of colorful oak brush adorns the foothills of the imposing Wasatch Range on Oct. 26, 2008.
Life Bird... this attractive and small duck was the most shy of all the species seen at the ponds. It was great to see this male. I think there were two males and two females
Get your "boat" here! U-Boat that is! I highly doubt any Mercury is going to pull that Ohio Central train along even as level as the track is here at North Zanesville, Ohio.
Float Homes in Mosquito Creek Marina, North Vancouver
Float homes [...] feature truly waterfront living with ocean or river views at a fraction of the price. Neighbours include herons, sea lions, bald eagles and many other forms of wildlife. While this style of living may not be for everyone, they do come in single family, apartments/condos, custom built or modular, prefabricated options. New models include the usual home amenities such as stainless-steel appliances, heated floors, soaker tubs, on-demand water heaters, and even rooftop decks. They follow stringent building codes, fire safety and environmental standards demanded by local, provincial and federal authorities. (Anne McMullin, Vancouver Courier)
Dr. Bonnie Henry: “Be kind, be calm and be safe”
This abandoned gas station in Borrego Springs has become a quintessential Instagram backdrop. I see whole amateur film crews pulling up and getting out to do a shoot. It wasn't quite all that when I took this shot in June, 2018. But maybe with a little creative artwork I can hitch it onto the fame train!
A disinterested horse plods along as an eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight rumbles through Bison, Montana, while crossing Marias Pass on the southern border of scenic Glacier National Park on September 7, 1999. Burlington Northern GE C30-7 No. 5581 leads a Santa Fe C40-8W and two BN EMD SD40-2s.
Vincenzo Lancia loved automobiles, driving and motoring competition. The delectable machines that flowed from the factory were the expression of his passion. There were many great designs pre-War: the Lambda V4 of the vintage years; the Augusta, Lancia's first small family car; the nimble little Aprilia of the late 1930's, a roomy economy saloon with racing standards of handling and cornering power.
The Flaminia was the first Lancia designed by Antonio Fessici and was the flagship of the range when launched in 1957. Fessici had finally broken with tradition and had discarded the vertical coil independent front suspension in favor of wishbones. The engine was a 2.5 liter V6 driving through an aft-mounted gearbox and de Dion rear axle. In 1964 the 3C version was introduced with a 2.8 liter engine producing 152bhp. The Flaminia remained in production until 1970.
Without doubt the most attractive coachwork on these chassis was the 'Double Bubble' coupe by Zagato, of which 187 were built. They are, quite simply, a stunning combination of Italian machinery and cosmetic design.
I was watching some stilts on a rainy morning at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, UT, when this guy motored by.
Motoring in Johnston Strait one September morning in 2018. Returning to Vancouver after a 5 1/2 month solo sailing trip to Alaska. I look back on moments like this with melancholy and calm. With too little wind to sail, the Isuzu engine pushed us along, there was still a balance in the world.
Amtrak's California Zephyr train No. 6 glides through Mapleton, Utah a mile or two from the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon on Sept. 27, 1987.
Vietnam took me by surprise. It appeared everyone had the latest Iphone and scooter.
Texting while riding is common place but it's not as precarious as it sounds. The pace on the major streets is never excessive. Everyone appears to move as one mass. People do not seem concerned about beating each other to the next stop. No road rage or flipping people off, even when it gets incredibly congested. I saw no accidents or angry disputes ... very foreign and un-american.
Crossing the street for the first time during rush hour is a leap of faith. One simply starts walking across the street thru the traffic in a deliberate fashion and all the scooters drive around you. It seems like chaos at first but it works. Everyone adjusts to those around them, continuous cooperation in harmony.

Mille Miglia, 15. Mai 2009, SR 258 Via Alpe,
Viamaggio near Sansepolcro, Toscana, IT.
Ich fotografierte an einer tollen, bereits am Vortag ausgesuchten Stelle am Ende einer langen Bergab-Geraden, direkt vor einer scharfen Haarnadelkurve. Plötztlich, wie ein Blitz aus heiterem Himmel, war besonders lauter Motorenlärm zu hören. Gleichzeitig kamen DC im Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR (mehr als 10 Millionen EUR Versicherungswert!), Stirling Moss' Original-Siegerauto, und knapp dahinter Mika Häkkinen mit dem brandneuem, am Vortag erstmals in Brescia präsentierten Mercedes McLaren SLR Edition Stirling Moss mit hohem Renntempo auf der Geraden daher gerast. Das Foto zeigt den konzentrierten DC beim starken Abbremsen vor der Haarnadelkurve. Ich drückte reflexartig den Auslöser und schon waren die beiden ultra raren Super-Autos auch schon wieder hinter der anschließenden Kurve in Richtung Sansepolcro verschwunden. Der ganze Spuck dauerte nur wenige Sekunden. Mir erschien es wie ein Angriff zweier tieffliegender Kampfjets... Ein wirklich beeindruckendes und unvergessliches Erlebnis.
