Yet another shot from the photo walk with Ian RZ68. The tones of this one are nice.
When we are doing nothing in particular, it is then that we are living through all our being. Will is suspended, but nature and time are always active; and if our life is no longer our work, the work goes on nonetheless. With us, without us, or in spite of us, our existence travels through its appointed phases.
-- Henri Frédéric Amiel

too swift a look,
too sluggish a fixation.
Ahh, I should be tasered for neglecting this stream, and yours. I know, it is quite annoying for me to repeat this over and over again on every upload. Anyway, I am in the midst of my Western Art History research. Focusing on the Northern Renaissance, put forth new dimensions I have not explored before.

This is a scene from a foggy morning on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad a few weeks ago. Here visiting locomotive 315 has stopped at Cumbers Pass—elevation 10,015 feet—to take on water after the climb up the four percent grade from Chama, New Mexico. I like the inclusion of the two trainmen, one passing something up to the other. In a greater sense they symbolize the passing along of the skills required to operate steam locomotives from one generation to the next, fifty years after the last of them roamed the United States in freight revenue service.
The semaphores at Sannapos station were still in use in 1999. This is 16DA no 876 and 16E no 857 passing the gantry at the west end of the station heading in the direction of Bloemfontein on 4 July. The engine in the background is 25NC no 3410 waiting her turn to take the train in the opposite direction to Bethlehem.

A moment of low winter sun, a small island and a passing boat. That's all it takes.
A bright and sunny day found us deep in the woods on Central Maine and Quebec's Moosehead Sub watching locomotives from the new owner pulling a 77-car freight.

I can't find that I uploaded this image anywhere?! I seem to have forgotten it from the thousands and milions of photos I have! It's from last year, but it is the December picture of my 2013 calendar.
We found this Mule Deer buck walking through the Ponderosa Pines in Rocky Mountain National Park. The shot was taken shortly after a strong thunderstorm moved through leaving a coating of Graupel on the ground and a bit of fog/mist/steam rising. For those not familiar with Graupel, Merriam-Webster defines it as "granular snow pellets...also called soft hail".
Travelers have passing by the beautiful walking path, and did not stay for long.
The boats have passing by the wonderful harbor, and did not stay for long.
The clouds have passing by the quiet ocean city, and did not stay for long.
Many people have passing by our life, and only the meaningful one’s stay for long.
Si avvicina il Natale.
55 anni fa, il 12 dicembre '69 la strage di piazza Fontana, a Milano, con 17 vittime e numerosi feriti.
Fu il primo atto terroristico dal dopoguerra e iniziò un periodo di stragi e la ' strategia della tensione ' che mise a dura prova l' Italia.
Fu opera di un gruppo neofascista di Ordine Nuovo.
Numerosi furono i depistaggi e i ritardi colpevoli che non permisero la punizione degli autori dell'atto criminale. Anzi i parenti delle vittime dovettero pagare le spese processuali

A pair of ex-Northern Pacific dome cars (now owned and run by Webb Rail LLC) are on the rear of the northbound Adirondack just after passing CN Cannon, as AMTK 695 approaches its final stop at St-Lambert Station. These cars will be heading back south on the Adirondack on Tuesday. Cars are WEBX 801044 (ex-NP 313) & WEBX 801045 (ex-NP 549). Both were built by Budd, in 1954 and 1959 respectively.

Cumulonimbus with shower and associated rainbow. View from the upper slopes of Ward Hill (212m) looking SE. Fair Isle, Shetland.
Shallow low north of Shetland, showery SW'ly airflow across the Northern Isles. A fine sunny afternoon. Early evening and showers begin to spread in from the southwest. Air temp about 9°C, dew point about 6°C. SW'ly F3-4.
With the onset of the shower activity, temperatures fell from between 10° and 11° Celsius to around 7° or 8° Celsius. Dew points remained at about 5° Celsius.
This 28-300mm lense really let's you capture some very different scenes of the same train without moving an inch. Having shared the long telephoto versions already here is the wide version that captures the full scene with your eyes now drawn to the old wooden elevator as a prop instead of the signals.
This is the westbound Montana Rail Link 'night gas' train behind SD70ACes 4406 and 4408 (both built new for the road in Apr. 2014) leading a trainload of refined petroleum products from Missoula to Thompson Falls as they pass the west end of the 11,360 ft siding and cross Central Ave. at MP 6.4 on the 4th Sub Mainline.
These railfan favorite gas trains are the only trains on this end of the railroad anymore that are guaranteed to run with blue power. Strictly an intra-MRL operation, these trains came into being in 1995 when a gap was created in the 40 yr old and 531 mile long Yellowstone Pipeline when the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe chose not to renew the pipeline company's lease of 21 miles of right of way across their Flathead Indian Reservation.
