A Utility Man was following along with the Union Pacific local as it worked Rockford and Loves Park. After they pulled into Cimco Steel just north of Windsor Road, the U-man took to cleaning out the switch. They would need it double over the 2 scrap loads from the scrap yard and then spot an empty gondola back there once the track was clear.

Teasel:
The beginning of the flower bud. Seems like the plant is determined to protect the growing flower head. With all of the prickly and spike points light is collected to draw attention to various beauties of its form. I just love all of the growing stages of this plant.

This piece was originally intended as a starting point for the Batik Guild's 'Patterns of Change' exhibition submission for the Naples Botanical Gardens, Florida, USA.
I worked on three pieces over the Christmas period and finally submitted one (Energy Flows) which was jury selected and is now in Florida.
This one is a collage of mostly paper and I had originally intended to layer it with wax resist/discharged dyed tissue, with some torn and exposed areas highlighting newspaper text with a climate theme.
This is very much a mixed media piece now with only a few small pieces of silk batik incorporated.
I've used hole punched paper pieces for the mosaic effect.

I took a few shots here , well loads really lol , i always find it hard using filters here , as you need a dark one to keep that always bright sky from blowing whilst trying to keep some details in the fore with out darkening the cross and light house too much . this shot was from exposed for the sky , then the fore recovered in Adobe raw , but i think its a bit noisy in the dark areas due to that when viewed big .
i layered another lighter exposure over the worse areas but still not great . its ok small tho lol :)
Might have another go of it with the different exposures i took .
Hdr doesn't really work either on this one , but ive spent a few hours editing this one so thought i may as well post it :)

The Sage Gateshead is one of my favourite buildings and I’m grateful to have so many opportunities to shoot it.
For a while now I’ve been trying to capture interesting angles of selected parts of the building rather than just shooting it in its’ entirety and surrounding setting. We all know about the beautiful curves of the building but it also has some nice sharp angles which work in great contrast to the curves.
Yesterday was really bright with some pretty quick moving clouds so for the vast majority of the shots I used the Lee Big Stopper so I could leave the shutter open for much longer and capture some cloud movement. I actually also used a 0.9 neutral density hard grad filter across the entire scene just to give me even more length on the shutter speed.
It’s really good to get up close because you get to see how the building is ageing and you can see some great detail.
