GBRf Class 66/7 No. 66778 Cambois Depot 25 Years has just restarted after dropping off the shunter at Penyffordd Cement spur, out of site in the dip. The shunter accompanied the driver out and back to Dee Marsh to handle the runround there. The peg was pulled off just after this photo was taken so the train didn't have to make a further stop. The working is 6V41, the 17:07 Penyffordd Cement – Avonmouth loaded tanks on 5th September 2024.
This image was captured just as the Harris hawk was lifting off to go further up the limb. Such a beautiful, strong and amazing species . Truly loved watching these beauties fly the skies !!
Wishing you all an awesome Thursday and a very blessed one !
This day there were a huge storm on the city of Vienne in France. This picture was taken just before. Some raindroplets started to falling down. The Rhone river was majestic ... some street lamps was curiously on...

During my time off this holiday season, I rearranged and organized my studio. I have been wanting to have a corner designated for floral photography and now I finally do.
I was inspired by an exhibition of Mapplethorpe's photography when I lived in Southern California a few years ago.
He has a very distinctive style. I am using it as my baseline inspiration and look forward to seeing where it leads me this year.
Anyone have any recommendations for simple, basic photography background kits?
The wall ain't cutting it! LOL
HSS!
It was a sunny day, and the Queen Elizabeth Park rose garden called. I don't know most of the flower species names, but they sure are pretty!
New Hampshire Northcoast's D7 job, complete with the matching green set, swings off the District 2 main line and onto NHN's own trackage at Rollinsford. Work at Somersworth and Rochester lies ahead before arriving at The Pit in Ossipee for loading.
It was sitting very nicely on the balcony rail and took off as I hit the shutter. It's only about the 2nd or 3rd time I've caught a bird in flight!
Maybe better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Spotted on a rather foggy, overcast day, there was this almost perfect floral image. All factors not conveying that are mine.
Swinging off joint trackage with the NS Kansas City District and onto the BNSF Brookfield Sub at Maxwell is BNSF train H-NEWGAL1-02A led by a former ATSF Dash 9. 10/3/20.
Of the three mornings that I awoke early to capture this scene. The first morning was the best. Hallstatt, Austria has been on my list for years. Image made with a Pentax K 1.
108 days until Iceland.
The last year has been a rather rough one for me, and its been a while since I've been out shooting. I finally had some nice weather, and was feeling the itch to do some shooting, so took Friday off and spent a day on the Oregon Trunk. Not a whole lot went as planned (as it typical on the OT), but finally caught a southbound which made for a nice afternoon chase. Here BNSF 7931 leads a manifest south along the Deschutes River as they approach South Junction. The MRL unit third out was giving the crew plenty of trouble, dying numerous times on the climb up the canyon. Between North Junction (MP 75.4) and South Junction (MP 85.8) the Oregon Trunk (SP&S) and Deschutes Railway (UP) shared trackage due to the very rough terrain in this part of the Deschutes River Canyon.
We are flying tomorrow, I will have intermintent internet access next week. I would love to take Nubia with me but she's too delicate to be carried in a bag all day long!!
Rural Fire Service doing controlled burn-off ... the smoke has been settling in every night for about 5 days now!
