Since there's nothing worth posting from my recent outings around St. Louis, and this Flickr account ain't paying for itself, here's one more from my last decent trip away from home.

 

Colorado Pacific Rio Grande's (CXRG) Walsenburg Turn climbs a small rise and into Ft. Garland, CO after completing its westward passage over La Veta Pass and through the adjacent foothills. The train ran a few hours later this day, making for some nice afternoon lighting, free of the clouds that hampered similar efforts a couple days earlier. From this point on, the train has a relatively straight and flat run all the way in to Alamosa, making for a quicker pace than its 10-25 mph transit of the Pass.

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)

The district Ober- / Niederwinzer-Kager is the smallest district of Regensburg. The district is located north of the Danube. Due to its size, it is still a kind of village.

Ober- und Niederwinzer owe their names to wine-making in the oldest documented vineyard in Altbayern. Around Winder, the farmers grow vegetables and often use greenhouses or foils, as we see here.

The average rate of energy captured by global photosynthesis is approximately 130 terawatts, which is about eight times the total power consumption of human civilization. Photosynthetic organisms also convert around 100–115 billion tons of carbon into biomass per year. [from Wikipedia]

The Mk IX was the second most numerous of any Spitfire version manufactured after the Mk V.

It was rushed into production over the slightly better Mk VIII as a short-term counter to the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, which was superior in most ways to then current Spitfire Mk V.

Externally, the Mk IX can be differentiated from earlier Spitfire versions by having a four-bladed propeller, and unlike the Mk VIII, does not have a retractable tail wheel. This particular Spitfire dates from 1944 and has a supercharger optimized for lower level performance, making it an 'LF' model. It is fitted with the 'e' wing which eliminated the four outer machine gun positions. This machine only has two of the remaining four inner positions fitted with either cannons or heavy machine guns. Despite being painted in large red letters, the squadron codes of QJ are surprisingly hard to make out!

Million dollar sunsets from New Buffalo, Michigan, 2013. This one I tilted a bit to optimize for Flickr's new layout.

Scanned salt print

 

Arches Aquarelle. High contrast dig neg without salt print calibrated curve + reduction of exposure time to 4 min.

 

Everything else as previously uploaded "Monte Baldo" print.

 

I suspect that exposure time and neg density has a great influence on salt print tone.
