The rear of ST24 Melbourne-Sydney XPT, rounding curves near Jerrawa (between Yass and Gunning) on the NSW main south, late afternoon.
I planned to post only two of these, but liked the way they tell the story of a fleeting moment (well, 52 seconds) of the train's life. And I like the light! : ) I might delete some of them.

Passing through the Lake Powell area it's easy to look just at the lake. It's really attractive, especially so after all the desert you just drove through to get there. There's the lake, and there's an enormous amount of wide-open space... And there's more, if you look around a little. It's so big you have to bite off tiny visual slices but it's worth the effort - there are stunning southwestern vistas to be had, along with huge arches and narrow slot canyons... The space is so damn big they're hiding in plain sight.
On our anniversary trip to Jamaica, Cathy and I had the great pleasure of visiting Mayfield Falls (roughly 80 kilometers south-west of Montego Bay). The travel guide said not to attempt to find it without help - it would require asking directions about 10 times. So we hired a driver from the hotel.
We were sure glad we did! We never would have found it; and the roads were more like dirt trails once we got up into the mountains. We were riding in a narrow Toyota van, avoiding craters, when a bus with tourists came around the bend from the other direction. Cathy didn't believe we would ever be able to get by each other; but our driver didn't even hesitate.
As we passed each other, with a large, unprotected drop down one side, I stuck my camera out the window to capture the moment. As you can see, the drivers didn't leave any room to spare!
I feel compelled to mention that our relative speed with the passing bus was roughly 20 mph! It's amazing both vehicles kept their mirrors intact. Oh yeah: my camera survived too!

Pink petals passing
Scents above so high
Painted porcelain perfection
Blossoms caress the sky
Swaying silent shroud
Suitors strolling by
Pink petals passing
Lover's gentle sigh
Pastel hues falling
Slow fluttering grace
Pink petals passing
Lining streams in lace
Pink petals passing
Smoothest transit by
Soft essence floating
In most subtle lullaby
Inducing springtime slumber
Upon a satin shore
Sailing with the current
Pink petals pass before
Cherry Blossoms Adrift

Intentional panning while in a moving car. There are so many things that can entertain ourselves during a trip, while having a camera on our hands! :)
