A former Conrail C40-8W and a SD60M led a NS C44-9W on a southbound Canadian National run-through freight back in 2005.
Even though they were patched for new owner Norfolk Southern, the blue beasts were still a nice sight when compared to that monochromatic thing third out.
Bordered patch butterfly on Brazilian verbena flower. Shot with Agfa Solinar 1:4.5 105mm mounted on Nikon bellows. Bellows connected to Sony A7 body with Nikon adapter.
Wearing patches over its DMIR paint, EJ&E SD-M #804 sits at Kirk awaiting its next job. Built as DMIR SD9 #169 in April 1959, this unit now works for IBCX.
Rock Island 4509 was "patched" as CNW 4160 for the CNW Days at the Illinois Railway Museum and was in charge of the mixed train at Johnson Siding.
RI 4509 was sold to the CNW and renumbered 4160 after the RI shutdown. The engine came to the museum as CNW 4160, brought back to life, and repainted in the blue Rock Island scheme.

Alternanthera dentata Little Purple. We purchased this plant in a small pot just a couple of months ago, and it has spread to over a metre wide in just a month. A wonderful groundcover
So,I was out for a drive just to see what I could see(you know what I mean - I had no kids with me), and I came across this beautiful patch of colorful trees just being lit up by the setting sun and reflected so nicely in this little pond. It made my night!
Come to the Pumpkin Patch at Seminole Heights United Methodist Church down on the corner of Central & Hanna in Seminole Heights. The Patch will be open 12-8 p.m. Sunday through Friday, and 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. Saturdays until Halloween.
The Cabbage Patch Babyland Hospital is located in Cleveland, Georgia. It is the home of Cabbage Patch dolls, which were wildly popular some years ago. This shot is of one of the original style dolls. I took it in the showroom. 'Adoptions' of these start at $200. Luckily there are cheaper options there.
Natural light is coming from a window camera right. I used an 580EX bounced off the ceiling for fill.
For World Photography Day - I didn't enter that Flickr group, by the way. Why? Because I believe the world doesn't need more pretty photos right now. The world needs clarity.
What a shit show.
CSX Q410 rolls past ongoing Metro construction in Franconia back in 1994. The former RF&P mainline was firmly under CSX control and patched GP40 6858 is unfortunate photographic evidence of that fact.
It's even worse now considering that in 1999 Conrail also went away. We can never have nice things.

In early May 2011, a US 30 roadtrip across Nebraska on a beautiful spring day brought me and a friend to the pedestrian bridge across the UP's triple track Kearney Sub at Lexington. You don't have to wait long to see a train. First up was an eastbound coal load with a patched SP unit on the rear. In the distance, the headlight of a westbound is already in sight.
I have had some of these patches for 28 years, from when Matt and I backpacked across Europe. I finally decided to put them on my old Ona bag in hopes it would revitalize this bag.
The Expedition 70 patch is designed around the central yin-yang symbol representing balance; first and foremost, the balance of our beautiful planet Earth that is encircled by the yin-yang symbol and which forms part of the Expedition number. In our exploration of space, we are reminded of the uniqueness of Earth; the further we push the boundaries of human existence, the stronger our longing for our home planet grows. As our understanding of the cosmos expands, so does our understanding of Earth, and although we live in an ever-changing world, we recognize the need for a planet in balance to ensure our future.
Space exploration is also about creating the future of our dreams. The tentative first steps we take today will hopefully become a well-trodden path in the future. This is represented stylistically by the “retro-futuristic” design of the patch, which mimics the design of the posters depicting the future from the early days of the space age. It is also emphasized by the yellow, orange, and red colors suggesting a sunrise. Lastly, the dynamism in the depiction of the number 7 suggests not only the physical launch into space, but also humanity’s progress towards the future.
We've had a nice stretch of weather the last couple of days. Went for a walk on the beach with the intention of hunting seals. Shot a few the way they should be shot. :-) They're very cute blubber balls!
Risked life and lens for these shots. Walking on rocks covered with thick layers of seaweed is NOT easy. :-)
Back to my trip again!

Our first morning in Cromwell. We woke to heavy fog which took a while to lift. Driving along the Felton Road to go to our next winery tasting at Felton Road winery.

The Central Otago wine region is the world's southern-most commercial wine growing region. Central Otago's best-known wines are its Pinot noirs, but many white wine varieties are also popular. The Central Otago Wine Region is the formal geographic indication for wines grown in Central Otago.
At around 300 metres (980 ft) elevation, Central Otago's vineyards are protected from New Zealand's characteristic maritime climate by high mountains up to 3,700 metres (12,100 ft) . They thus have the only true continental climate zone in the country, with large daily and seasonal temperature extremes. Rainfall averages around 375-600mm: summer is hot and relatively dry, and often accompanied by the Nor'wester foehn wind; autumn is short, cool and sunny; and winter is cold, with substantial falls of snow. Heavy frosts are common throughout winter and, indeed, frost can occur at any time between March and November. One of Central Otago's warmest wine growing areas can be found just north of the Lowburn Inlet area.
