Beautiful glowing colours: warm yellow, orange and red sunset light contrasting with the thick passing clouds near Camghouran, Loch Rannoch.

Poem.
Witness to a passing ice-age.
Golden eagles and red-deer stags,
wild cats, red squirrel,
wild boar and wolves.
Clans and settlement.
Feuds and battles.
Clearances and tree-felling.
Decimation of the hillsides by sheep.
Dams and artificial lakes.
Pylons and footpaths.
Roads and buildings.
Long days.
Short days.
Sunshine.
Deep snow.
Wild storms.
The soldier-straight ranks of ubiquitous Scots Pine
have seen this and much, much more.
And still they hold their head up proudly and say,
“This is Scotland.”
“I am Scotland.”
A worthy, worthy icon!!!
I was invited to join the group Get Pushed and each week we are paired up with a new partner and challenge each other to do something a little of of our comfort zone. My partner this week is Monica, and after we each took a gander at each other's streams we realized we don't have any long exposures, so we both agreed to do the same challenge.
First let me say that I am not a huge fan of this image. At all. I had big ole fancy plans to head into the city and do the shoot-from-an-overpass-thing and was totally going to get my fireworks on. The hubs got called into work and my desire to drag two sweaty, crabby kids downtown by my lonesome quickly diminished . Instead, I went out to the main little artery in our hood. The street is under construction and looks, well, like crap. I sat on the edge of a driveway and propped my camera on top of a disgusting newspaper and waited for cars to come by. Pretty much every single car that passed slowed down to look at the crazy lady sitting on the ground with a camera. The crop is ridiculous...just about the only thing I do like is the car reflection at the end of the red trails.
BUT, I Got Pushed. And I kinda liked waiting to see what I was going to catch. I'll definitely try it again.
Throw in a little bit of Lightroom, and HSS, too!
Engineer Jay Monty leans out the cab window of Monson RR #3 as he takes one of Edaville Family Theme Park's excursion trains past Atwood Junction, which is the junction between the old, 5.5-mile loop around Atwood Reservoir, and the current, 2-mile loop, which bypasses the reservoir entirely. Sadly, only a portion of the original trackage around the reservoir still exists as some of the original land is now a housing development.
This image was captured during the December 2024, Christmas Festival of Lights event at the Edaville Family Theme Park in South Carver, MA.

A moment of a boat (on the Ijssel) passing the Westervoortse bridge during the period it was lit. The exposure time was not long enough to create a complete light trail of the boat, so I blended 2 pictures (just like making a startail).

A monster midge stands guard over this passing place along the single track road to Ardtoe on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula Scotland.
I would not like to get a nip from this midge.

One of the things that I both like and do not understand about Moscow is that it's like a fashion show on the street, in spite of any practicality considerations...
Spotted a pair of chinooks while checking out Flightradar24 and they split up after a fairly erratic route with one of them heading my way . Had time to grab a camera and stand outside at the front where I can see more of the sky and within a short time it appeared , only had time for two shots before it disappeared behind rooftops only to reappear much further on and too small for any more useable shots !!
The Boeing CH-47 Chinook is a tandem-rotor helicopter originally developed by American rotorcraft company Vertol and now manufactured by Boeing Defense, Space & Security. The Chinook is a heavy-lift helicopter that is among the heaviest lifting Western helicopters. Its name, Chinook, is from the Native American Chinook people of Oregon and Washington state.
The Chinook was originally designed by Vertol, which had begun work in 1957 on a new tandem-rotor helicopter, designated as the Vertol Model 107 or V-107. Around the same time, the United States Department of the Army announced its intention to replace the piston-engine–powered Sikorsky CH-37 Mojave with a new, gas turbine–powered helicopter. During June 1958, the U.S. Army ordered a small number of V-107s from Vertol under the YHC-1A designation; following testing, some Army officials considered it to be too heavy for the assault missions and too light for transport purposes. While the YHC-1A would be improved and adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps as the CH-46 Sea Knight, the Army sought a heavier transport helicopter, and ordered an enlarged derivative of the V-107 with the Vertol designation Model 114. Initially designated as the YCH-1B, on 21 September 1961, the preproduction rotorcraft performed its maiden flight. In 1962, the HC-1B was redesignated CH-47A under the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system.
The Chinook possesses several means of loading various cargoes, including multiple doors across the fuselage, a wide loading ramp located at the rear of the fuselage and a total of three external ventral cargo hooks to carry underslung loads. Capable of a top speed of 170 knots (200 mph; 310 km/h), upon its introduction to service in 1962, the helicopter was considerably faster than contemporary 1960s utility helicopters and attack helicopters, and is still one of the fastest helicopters in the US inventory. Improved and more powerful versions of the Chinook have also been developed since its introduction; one of the most substantial variants to be produced was the CH-47D, which first entered service in 1982; improvements from the CH-47C standard included upgraded engines, composite rotor blades, a redesigned cockpit to reduce workload, improved and redundant electrical systems and avionics, and the adoption of an advanced flight control system. It remains one of the few aircraft to be developed during the early 1960s – along with the fixed-wing Lockheed C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft – that has remained in both production and frontline service for over 60 years.
The military version of the helicopter has been exported to nations across the world; the U.S. Army and the Royal Air Force (see Boeing Chinook (UK variants)) have been its two largest users. The civilian version of the Chinook is the Boeing Vertol 234. It has been used by civil operators not only for passenger and cargo transport, but also for aerial firefighting and to support logging, construction, and oil extraction industries.
