Montana Rail Link built a short section of track on an old Milwaukee Road branch line right-of-way at Bonner, Montana, to help facilitate cleanup of the Milltown Dam site in 2009. Years of mining activities upstream at Anaconda created a huge amount of sediment, or “dirty dirt” at the site on the Clark Fork that was hauled to a long-term disposal site at Opportunity (near Anaconda). In this view on September 20, 2009, a MRL dirt train led by EMD SD40-2XR No. 263, passes the Milwaukee Road caboose on display in Bonner as an eastbound BNSF freight races by overhead on the MRL’s Third Subdivision main line. Shortly after the time of this photo, cleanup at the Milltown site was complete, and this trackage on the branch was removed once again.
Timing is everything, and everything came together this evening as three trains converged at Dock 6 while the distinctive laker John D. Leitch loaded ore. Great light and color with the shadows holding off long enough to get all three trains unobstructed. Credit Air Missabe One and skillful piloting by Gus.
Damsel Fish, sunrays. Fiji.
Technical note: this is an over/under or split shot with both the surface from above and water below. The Nikonos has no housing or lens port, so the waterline is right against the front element of the lens, hence you don’t see a clear transition like you do with a port. Previously a demanding technique, now more reliable and effective with modern gear.
Well, I've only seen it once, so this is twice. After shooting 331 at Paris and Princeton I popped back into Brantford and happened up RLHH 598 sitting on the Burford waiting on CN 580 to come back from Cainsville.
It wasn't a long wait before the over under occurred with a pair of GP38's making a neat scene.
A CP transfer to Stinson yard in Superior passes under a CN hill job spotting ore cars on Dock 6 in Duluth.
A Proctor Roadswitch crew spots cars for dumping on Dock 6 as a limestone train heads up the ramp from Missabe Junction to Proctor. It was CN at this point, but you wouldn't know it from this shot.
A coal load holds on the James River route a little ways outside of downtown Richmond, as a mixed fright rolls passed on the A-line above.
To be fair, the crew of UP ILBG4 has just arrived and turned on the headlights, ready to blast off from their parking spot at Venice, IL, as NS 125 passes overhead. Still, I'll take a non-moving over-under over no over-under.
Finally taking the dive (punny) into the world of underwater photography! Thanks to my buddy Matt Sullivan. We found this gorgeous little female Wood Turtle (Glyptemys inscultpa) along the bank of a mountain stream in PA.

Me and Baxter had a quick play around with my new Telesin 6" Dome Port yesterday. Quite pleased with the results, though I think the sea needs to be calmer and clearer next time.

An over/under shot on a GoPro with a dome attachment in the clear waters of Georgian Bay off the Northern Bruce Peninsula. That bolder in the water is roughly the size if a van. I'm not sure if the scale is easy to discern.
Thanks for viewing!
From the laws of physics, only 1/10th of an iceberg is visible above the water. So 90% of an iceberg's mass is underwater! To capture this, I used a special camera setup to get some over/under shots. This is an relatively easy capture when the water surface is glassy and smooth. But when the Antarctic winds caused swells, it's a much more challenging endeavor. However, the chop made the water surface uneven and created an interesting visual effect. What do you think?

After dropping cars at Toll Brothers, CSAO local YPMOR-1 passes the Dairy Queen on Delmoor Ave in Morrisville, PA with a rare CSX leader. Not a bad way to start 2017.
Well, a Duluth goalie helped beat Canada for the gold in women's hockey and the Duluth curling team beat Canada to advance to the gold medal round, but around here a Canadian influence was in full force this afternoon.
Ras Katy is an anchorage and dive site near Sharm el Sheikh close to the tip of the Sinai peninsula. Beyond the mooring is a shallow coral garden, that was beautifully preserved a decade ago and a colourful contrast to the desert cliffs behind.
Underwater at the Lighthouse, a
Hillsboro Lighthouse Composite. I've been trying to learn to use my GoPro and have been having a good time snorkeling around the lighthouse rocks with it. I managed to get a decent composition but when the GoPro is partially above the surface, given the sun angle this time of year, the sky on the right side of the picture gets blown out. I resorted to a sky replacement that seems to match the mood.
A few years ago I posted a shot of this monster Lenticular cloud over Sparks Lake. I've recently been weeding out old files, and came across this one, and decided to post it here on Flickr.
Even though I hadn't planned on shooting that day, I did happen to have all my gear including a water housing with a mounted bracket for a tripod. While watching this cloud develop I decided to have some fun, and submerge my camera half under the lake. It was extremely challenging to say the least; 90% of my water housing shots didn't turn it out, but this one was a keeper.
Wishing everyone a great weekend!
Thanks for looking!
Not for the past few decades in the sales department, but here three EMD veterans soar over a trio of limestone GEs at Lakehead.
A trip to the Antarctic region isn't complete without visiting South Georgia. In addition to the massive King penguin colonies, we were also treated to observe the social behavior of seal harems. This is a male Antarctic Fur Seal coming ashore to establish his harem.
Antarctic Fur Seals are generally solo actors outside of mating season. However, in late October through December, they congregate in large numbers and fight each other for the right to rule harems of up to 20 females. The fights can be extremely aggressive, and some encounters result in deaths. Once they’ve established a harem males are unwilling to leave them unprotected and will stay on land up to 2 months without feeding!
Evelyn and I have been enjoying Indonesia with its amazing landscapes and biodiversity. We are excited to welcome our first group to start exploring this incredible country together!
It's been awhile since I've posted to flickr. A lot of photos have happened since the time of my last post here. Most notably, I took a trip to Indonesia in September for 10 days with 8 days spent SCUBA diving.
One of the images I wanted to come home with was a split shot of a reef and Manado Tua in the background. The entire trip, I had only one dive to do this and it was at the end of the dive.
While the island and the diving have immense natural beauty, one of the most obvious problems here is a lack of infrastructure. There is no clean water supply, so everyone drinks bottled water. There is also no trash pick-up service, so people leave their garbage everywhere, even down by the river, so when it rains, the garbage goes away. But of course, it must go somewhere, and it goes to the ocean. Floating rivers of trash were scene every day we traveled to Bunaken Island. The diver fee of $150 is supposed to help fund a trash collection boat, but the dive guides say how months will go by without the boat being used. Corrupt government is pocketing the cash I'm sure.
Seeing such things can be a good thing though, and I am trying to look on the positive side as awareness is raised. Single use plastics are persistent and are a major threat to the ocean environment. I've personally started to choose products, when possible, that use glass, metal, or paper packaging instead of plastic. And I look forward to the day when plastic packaging is a thing of the past as better alternatives get put to use.
We knew there was a west bound empty grain getting close on the former Milwaukee main line, along with several east bounds were meeting a vehicle train at Yellowstone so we set up where the Hettinger Sub crosses over the Forsyth Sub with the hopes of an over/under shot. Well it never happened.
In reality the V-BLULAU1-19 showed up under the bridge first, probably just 2-3 minutes too early. Just as it was almost out of the photo frame, the G-ANVVAW9-20 crossed over the bridge, just a little too late. Through the magic of Photoshop, we get to see what almost happened... but never did.
Photoshop is truly an amazing product with its ability to align and blend photos from two different cameras with two different lenses. The Grain train was shot with a Nikon D750 full frame with a 80-200 f2.8 lens on a tripod while the Vehicle train was shot with a Nikon D300 APS sensor with a 24-70 f2.8 lens handheld.

Storm front at Mahon Pool in Maroubra just before it hit. Testing out my new Ikelite housing with 16-35mm lens and 8” dome. Perfect for over/under (half and half) shots.

A Green Heron with a minnow it recently grabbed from below. I cannot believe how close this bird let me get. This species is known to bait its prey to get it closer.
Here is a combination of underneath the wave, over the wave and a seagull in flight. Interesting that you can get three different things in one frame.

I was snorkeling at the Three Sisters Spring when this nice Florida sunrise welcomed the day . I wanted to get an Over/Under shot but I really was struggling to maintain my buoyancy at the surface. The camera was bobbling too high, then too low. My frustration must have been pretty obvious because this manatee cruised over to see what all the commotion was about. He surfaced right in front of me and I got off a couple of shots before he rolled over begging for a belly rub.
Not surprisingly, I forgot all about my frustration.

Technical Notes:
Nikon D700/Sigma 15mm Fisheye/2.8f/ 1/60th sec. Ikelike underwater housing with an 8" dome port.
Full Disclosure:
I had to 'merge' some of the of the sunset on the left of the image with another frame I had taken a moment before because of some 'goo' that had gotten on the dome and smeared part of the image. So technically, this isn't a pristine, single frame image .
