Operator 9 is on the line.
Two Bowens Esprit 500 W/S monolights--PC sync to the key light with the fill slave automatically triggered upon fire. On the left of the phone, at about an 8 o'clock angle, I shot through a white umbrella which was about the same level as the subject. The second (fill) light was higher up and maybe 6 feet away at a 5 o'clock angle, shooting into an umbrella facing a wall. The fill bounce off the wall diffused it pretty well overall and allowed me to bring out the gross, vintage-looking, olive-green background a bit more. I still have no idea what I'm doing, but I like the results of this experiment.

The Chimborazo seen from the Arenal.
Vía a Riobamba.
Chimborazo is an ice-capped inactive volcano in Ecuador. Chimborazo is a double volcano composed of one volcanic edifice on top of another. Chimborazo shows four summits; Whymper, Veintimilla, Politecnica, and Nicolas Martínez. The Whymper peak is the highest point on the mountain at 6,263 meters. The Veintimilla peak is about 6,230 m (20,440 ft) high. The Politecnica peak is 5,820 m (19,094 ft) high. The last peak, Nicolas Martínez, is 5,570 m (18,274 ft) high and was named after the father of Ecuadorian mountaineering. The volcano is categorized as a stratovolcano. This type of volcano is characterized as having low slopes at the bottom that gradually get steeper the higher up the mountain. Chimborazo has a circumference of 78 miles (126 km) and a diameter of 30 miles (48 km). Chimborazo's upper elevations are covered in glaciers that are decreasing in size due to climate change and falling ash from the nearby volcano, Tungurahua. In addition to the glaciers, the volcano is covered with craters. The volcano is dominantly andesitic to dacitic. This means that the lava is blocky, or flowing down the sides of the volcano, or somewhere in between.
Chimborazo is 73.5 metres higher than the highest mountain in North America. Chimborazo is often associated with the nearby volcano Cotopaxi, although the two volcanoes have completely different structures.

The real question was what kind of a macro can I shoot to capture the true essence of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma or even Echoes. I was thinking something with a standing wave but maybe a project for a later date.
I didn't think the PF thing was going to pan out and my attention soon turned to a little old phone I have. It's a nice old phone, it keeps the old piano company, they share dust. So, making it's debut as an image for Macro Mondays, Lockdown Song, Operator and accompanied by a Jim Croce song of the same name. You just can't go wrong with Jim Croce songs.

This is what happens when someone pushes the wrong button on an industrial oven to racks of plastic trays full of meat products. Instead of steam cooking the product, the operator selected roasting....at much higher temperature

TUGBOATS, SEA IMP X towing SEA IMP III
I noticed the operators and deck hands preparing these two tugs to leave the dock. When they finally pulled away Sea IMP III connected to the back of SEA IM X.
My guess might be, they were saving fuel while traveling to their evening work destination,
Both tugs, if you look close, are connected by a tow line, and about to head down the Fraser River.
Mission Train Bridge
Mission
British Columbia, Canada
The Mission Railway Bridge is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge spanning the Fraser River between Mission, and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.
Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.
Swing span
The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.
The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.
CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span.

A memory from the past few years, while the coal trains on the branch line to Stanyantsi mine were served by BDZ Cargo with diesel locomotives class 07. Earlier, the freight trains on this line near the Bulgarian-Serbian border were hauled by the Sulzers (Class 06 of BDZ). Now all of the trains are served by the private railway operator TBD Cargo.
On the photo diesel locomotive 07 065 is heading towards Stanyantsi station to take a full coal train.
F-Unit Friday bonus, MLW style: VIA FPA4 No. 6787 and a matching FPB2u booster unit lead the transcontinental train No. 2, the eastbound Canadian, through Brockville ON on 12 June 1983.
I finally figured out what bothered me about the operators I've made in the past. No camo on helmets or vests. It just didn't flow without it. So I painted some helmets and vests, and here we are, something I can finally be satisfied with

Candid environmental portrait of a cold, and probably bored, operator of one of the rides at the Salthill, Galway amusement park.
A signalman gives a boost to his assistant at Sala Mae Tha railway station in Lamphun Province. The assistant, who happens to be his grandson, is fastening a "token" to be plucked from its place by the operator of the next passing train. Tokens, an early system of track control which predate electronic signaling, are common in Thailand.

A quick fig, I really like how it came out, expect some Star Wars and Modern/Futuristic figs and maybe scenes?......
Tell me what y'all think!

In mid May I attended a workshop at Valle Verzasca in Switzerland. A weekend for photographing rocks and water.
Expect not much else for the next few days.

In 2016 Czech operator LEO Express ordered net EMU's. The interior of their FLIRT units were in dire need of a renovation and the operator was planning the expand operations to new services, stretching their excisting fleet even more. Eventually the acceptance tests of these new CRRC Sirius units took slightly longer (officially due to the covid-crisis) and by that time LEO Express was bought by Renfe. Renfe cancelled the order and the CRRC Sirius units were left without owner. In 2024 the other large private operator in Czechia, RegioJet, acquired the units. Gradually the units were put into service on the Ústí nad Labem - Kolín route. Since the summer of 2025 all 3 units were active.
As a passenger I got to say the units are okay-ish. Somehow they remind me of the danish IC4 units. They looked great as well, but on the inside you could see signs of a different quality. I've been a couple of times on unit 665 001 and I wasn't all they impressed with the quality of the ride and with the sturdiness of some interor parts. However from the outside I'd say they look amazing. The RegioJet livery onto LEO Express' dark colours really fit well. Even better then their normal bright yellow trains. During the summer of 2025 I managed to get unit 665 001 on photo as it made its way to Ústí nad Labem. The city has already been reached, but due to turning around in one of the stations, it would take another 15 minutes until it would reach it final destination.
These days the DMV Cargo Vectrons are running a pair of empty tanker trains to the Lukoil oil refinery near Burgas. While they are considerably shorter than what we've been used to see from the new operator so far, the sight is still eye-catching.
Figher 1 or Vectron 80 961 is seen stopped at Makotsevo station on its way to the Black Sea.
P.S. Sometimes bad weather is the best kind there is.
Recently private operator RDC started a new night train service from Westerland (Sylt) via Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main to Salzburg connecting the holliday regions of the German North Sea Islands with the German and Austrian Alps. In the afternoon of July 12, 2020 D-Rpool 193 813 has just started it's long northbound trip (NEx 1311) and got pictured just after the train's first stop at Freilassing.
Seit Anfang Juli betreibt das private Eisenbahnunternehmen RDC einen Nachtzug von Westerland (Sylt) über Hamburg und Frankfurt am Main nach Salzburg. Dieser Zug verbindet die Ferienregion der deutschen Nordseeinseln mit jener der deutschen und österreichischen Alpen. Am Nachmittag des 12. Juli 2020 hat die von Railpool geleaste D-Rpool 193 813 mit ihrem aus sieben Liegewagen gebildeten NEx 1311 gerade die ersten Kilometer ihrer rund 1200 Kilometer langen Fahrt absolviert, als sie kurz nach dem ersten fahrplanmäßigen Aufenthalt in Freilassing aufgenommen werden konnte.

Hard to forget
It's hard to go on
When you fall asleep
You're out on your own
Let go of your life
Grab on to my hand
Here in the clouds
And we'll understand
Serco-Northlink operated ferry (owned by Macbraynes/Scottish government) arriving through Hoy Sound, passing Hoy High Lighthouse on the island of Graemsay filmed from the point of Ness Stromness as she enters Stromness harbour.
At 3.16 the Hamnavoe sounds the letter N -. on her horn as she enters Stromness, this is an old tradition which goes back to the North of Scotland Orkney & Shetland, Steam Navigation Company who were the first to to sound the N -. on their ships horn as they approached harbour and with Northlink being the modern day operator of the route, they decided to restart the old tradition.
