Amtrak #184 leads the eastbound Southwest Chief out of Fullerton on a Thursday evening.
April 16th, 2015
This morning's been a fantastic fusion of punk rock and orchestra . It's as if my late-teen years had found a way to coalesce with my adulthood.
Playing with filters. I've developed an affinity for the phasor effect. Very 311.
Amtrak 164 sits charging in downtown Norfolk with its brand new paint of the short lived phase IV paint.
I'm just trying to get myself sorted with a blog and oh my word where do you start?!! I feel such a noob at it all and it does daunt me a little. But there is only one way to overcome and learn and that's to dive right in - right?!!
Wish me luck!
Amtrak 108 the phase VI heritage unit leads Amtrak train #49 the Lake Shore Limited into Chicago, IL.
The MOM's production is inclusive of pewter, polymer clay, dichroic glass...I'm sure I'm leaving something out ;)
She is as dedicated as I am lazy, hee! I dream for the ability to just keep pace with her, but regardless of whether or not I meet that goal she'll always be my inspiration ♥
A few years ago, when my love affair with the moon first reached ridiculous proportions, I longed for a telescope to see her more closely. I wanted deeper insight into her mysteries.
Eventually, I realized that her mysteries were no more explained by visual inspection than were the mysteries of my wife explained by the study of biology, or for that matter, even by closer inspection of her beautiful surface.
By now, though, I realize that closer inspection doesn't necessarily explain mysteries. Understanding mysteries, if possible, doesn't necessarily cause greater appreciation. Appreciating superficial beauty and detail, doesn't necessarily evidence a lack of depth.
I love my wife much more deeply than her skin and shape, and external beauty, but I certainly love her skin, her shape, and her external beauty. I believe that in our quest to become less superficial and more holistic, we often exclude and objectify just as blatantly as we did otherwise. We simply objectify different aspects.
As far as physicality goes, I find it a very immature love that loves "in spite of." A growing love begins to cherish pocks and blemishes because "they are yours, and you are mine."
I don't know. That's just what I'm thinking about.

The Balsamic Phase
The significance of the Balsamic Phase in your Astrological Chart means that you are coming to an end of a cycle.
A person who has this positioning of the planets in their natal chart is embarking upon new beginnings.
They are in the midst of celebrating the wisdom and strength they've gained after completing a strenuous series of lessons.
The Phase 2 heritage takes the lead of Amtrak 8 as it descends Shortline Hill on the CP Merriam Park Sub. It’s running two hours late but that helped the shadows clear away. This unit recently got a new paint job making me want to catch it even more. So finally got the chance on this day.

^)(^ SORRY: I have to "slow down" (probably fewer photos, fewer input in groups, fewer comments and slower responses, etc.) for the next coming weeks, because we renovate our house ♫♪
I am very sorry about possible inconveniences ...

Amtrak's Phase III heritage unit returns to the Pittsburgh Line pulling the eastbound Pennsylvanian. After the brief station stop at Lewistown, 145 throttles up, completes the crossover from track 2 to 1, and continues eastward
Months of preparation for these shots of lunar eclipse, hours of location scouting for finding the perfect spot where the Pizzo Formico (Val Gandino, Bergamo, Italy) was between me and the blood moon at the right time. Even if lots of haze blocked the moonlight, i pushed my camera to the limit to capture this incredible celestial phenomenon.
Three Amtrak locomotives (GP38-3 #752. ALC42 #332, and another ALC42) are seen at the Chicago Locomotion Facility.
At Hawthorne Yard on Indy's east side, five Amtrak P40DCs (four in Phase IV), built in 1993, are waiting to be shipped out to its new owner, Larry's, after years of rusting away at Amtrak's Beech Grove shops, and before that, Bear, Delaware. #813 and the rest of these P40s were the first of over two-hundred Genesis units built for Amtrak between 1993 and 2001; the P40s were subsequently stored after only a decade of service.
The Waning Gibbous phase is when the lit-up part of the Moon shrinks from 99.9% to 50.1%. It starts just after Full Moon and lasts until the Third Quarter Moon. Waning means that it is shrinking and getting smaller, while gibbous refers to the oval-to-round shape.
The moon is most likely to look orange when it is low in the sky. ... Longer wavelengths are more red, and so, when the light from the moon has to travel through more atmosphere and undergo more scattering, the moon appears redder in the sky. This is also why sunsets and sunrises are orange.
Fit young fellows romped ahead up that mountain — retired and grey now.
Behind was the cadre of the gods, keepers of the arcane, among them — the pyrotechnician. He's why I'm in front. He knows his stuff. He also throws lighted fireworks over his shoulder; maintaining attention, creating mischief. I know him, and some of his foibles. Mostly, they're dead now, those gods and even a few of their disciples. Their genius documented is all that remains. All things must pass.
Passage obtained through the cow dung and mud of a farmer's lane is now superseded. A modern pilgrim might run a different gauntlet as mythologies younger than this tale are wrapped around like that sea spray from the heavy waves. Watching the phases evolve is a new experience. The ascent then was imperfect; its purpose served.
Mud-splattered white Kombi vans await the descent, and to repeat a dance with the slithering slime of the farm. This mountain had its gold mine, now worked out, and secrets for the god's revelation. Practically its the root of a Cretaceous volcano, now ⅒ of its former height. Typified, it is a zoned pluton — a monzonite, they say — more mafic on the outside, more quartz-rich in the middle.
The highest ranking of the gods holds court, black marker in hand, and with a Kombi whiteboard to draw his Qz-Ab-Or ternary phase equilibrium diagrams, explains why we should believe that this mountain and its concentric zones were once a partially melted and fractionated alkali basalt. He's very big on partial melting — drawing on his expertise, and cars!
Adding a mind-bending fourth dimension, his curves become the planes where his hypotheses glissade. Where the containing pressure is exceeded by the volatiles that flux his crystal mush, they breakout and flow stops in an instant as the mobilising flux exits, stage left, creating a solidus for the melt. All things must pass, and so they wait for the next zone to form — I think that's what he said.
There was a notion to re-ascend that mountain; finish the job. Trusted advice said, nah, you're on a short break, it'll break you, and besides the recent view was a bit rubbish. Instead, I'm here contemplating the tail end of an east coast low which dumped 250mm of rain and continues to pile up a heavy surf that's making all of that spray. Tomorrow I head away south to peramble gently between the two end points of a track I have visited and not joined.
All things must pass. This is just one of those phases.
The DC Tower 3 in Vienna, part of the Donau City Towers complex, reflects a strategic urban development decision that prioritizes economic viability and phased construction. Built before DC Tower 2, DC Tower 3 was designed to cater to immediate office space demands and to establish a financial and business hub along the Danube River. The DC Tower 2 is meanwhile under construction and will be finished at 2026.

Firing a phaser is fairly easy to make: set up a bezier curve, apply a physical constraint to a cylinder to follow the curve, and insert the necessary keyframes in the timeline.
For the "world" shader I used a star map from NASA (credits: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio. Constellation figures based on those developed for the IAU by Alan MacRobert of Sky and Telescope magazine (Roger Sinnott and Rick Fienberg)).)
Can you spot the Big Dipper?
It took me a while to figure out how to set this up. In the world sharder editor: use a texture coordinate - mapping - environment texture. Connect the "camera" of the texture coordinate to the vector of the mapping node and in the scale options of the mapping node, set X and Y to 3 (leave Z at 1).
Connect the "color out" of the environment texture to a "RGB to BW" node, and feed this into a RGB curve node. Then drag this curve down to get rid of all the noise.
Connect the output of the RGB curve node to the color of the background node and connect the latter to the surface of the world output, as usual.

We are in Phase 2 of our Zakopane in the Sierras Project. It is an alpine “outbuilding” done in Sud Tyrollean Style, and will hopefully be done sometime this coming Summer. Our Master Mason, is a genius, and in discussions, he has indicated that stone cutters in his family may go back 10 generations…. Back almost to the days of the Aztecs (where his family hails from). He is a proud and very creative artist.
Total Solar Eclipse Phases from start to finish, as seen and photographed from Trinity Overlook Park with Cindy @offdutyeyedoc, Mike @bb49r, and many others on April 8, 2024, from 12:23 PM - 3:06 PM! In spite of the clouds coming in and out during the entire Solar Eclipse phases, I am so thankful that I was able to see and capture all phases of the Solar Eclipse well, in order create this composite of all Solar Eclipse phases.
