A westbound CSX manifest freight approaches a B&O color position light signal on the New Castle Subdivision in Lowellville, Ohio, in August 2013. The replacement signals were on the ground nearby. Trailing CSX No. 4522 is an HLCX rent a wreck.
A railfan scrambles to get into position to photograph a Nickel Plate Express excursion train leaving Noblesville, Indiana, on a 30-minutes holiday trip. The walkway is part of a trail that crosses the White River adjacent to the tracks.
Oklahoma Brown Tarantula (Aphonopelma hentzi) reared up into its defnesive position. They detect vibrations of things that might be close and in this case it was me that bent down to photograph this spider straight on. Image taken in the Comanche National Grassland of Colorado.

I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend, here in the United States. Summer has finally arrived in the Pacific Northwest. Decided to take a trip up for sunrise last Monday to Mt Rainier, as I had trouble sleeping! I have not, like many here in the Pacific Northwest, had my fix of the wildflowers this year as they are late to the blooming party!
So I arrived at the Sunrise visitor center on Mt Rainier and started to hike up to a field loaded with lupine. I bumped into fellow Flickr friend Aaron Eakin www.flickr.com/photos/aaron_eakin/ who wound up car camping the previous night! Hoping for an epic light show, we were disappointed that there were no clouds in the sky, except for the lone cloud behind Mt Rainier. This is the second time I have been to Sunrise, but need to plan for more time to hike around it's trails. This area is the highest point in the park that you can drive to, over 6,400 in elevation! Paradise is at an elevation of about 5,400 feet.
This is a combination of three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I cropped in Photoshop, and did some "Dodging and Burning" as well. I ran through Lightroom and upped the contrast just a bit and pulled back the oranges.
Thank you for your views, comments and faves. I appreciate them. In other news, I just received my copy of the "Washington State Magazine" Fall 2011 issue. This is the magazine put out by the Washington State University located in Pullman, Washington. I am now finally "Print Published." They contacted me to license a photo for a piece they were doing on the Admiralty Head Lighthouse. The article is located on the last page of the magazine and here is the picture that they used: www.flickr.com/photos/fresnatic/5688721952/ I hope everyone has a great week ahead!

Istanbul has a strategic position, and controls the access to the Black Sea. Seen from space, you can notice that the area teems with activity both on sea and land
La position stratégique d'Istanbul saute aux yeux depuis l'espace, avec le Bosphore qui donne l’accès à la mer Noire. La ville grouille d’activité sur terre comme sur mer !

Now that we have the Sentinel-1B safely in the ‘high bay’ at Europe’s Spaceport near Kourou in French Guiana, or Centre Spatial Guyanais, CGS, as it’s known locally, the campaign to prepare the satellite for liftoff on 22 April has started in earnest.
On Friday, one of the first jobs was to position the satellite on the tilting table in preparation for testing. We also unpacked and set up the electrical ground support equipment in the ‘checkout room’.

Sometimes, I try to imagine how he's positioned in that couch. See his nose? BTW, this joey's fur is quite red, so some of us volunteers are assuming he's a boy. The zoo has not made an announcement.
Same position as last shot, only slightlyreframed. The difference apart from B&W to the last shot is the exposure. Some 4 minutes long, the cloud movement really shows the affect of updraft on the sky. Incase you wonder why the centre is bright, like the last shot the sun is in the centre with clouds shadowing the mountains. Such shots arent everyones cup of tea, but i am just expanding my portfolio.

A Northern rail service, recently arrived from Leeds, is on the 1851 built viaduct whilst shunting before making a return journey.
The passage way at the South Western Cairn at Balnuaran of Clava is focused on the sky. Many chambered cairns are aligned either with the position of the Sun, Moon, or the planet Venus. The Sun and Moon alignments bring about a living calendar to any aligned chambered cairn. Such alignments are more easily recorded without the cairns. The Sun and Moon alignment seems set into the stone structures for the use of the cairns beyond clocks and calendars to generate the identity of the structure in the design. These impressive monumental communal structures were open and visited by their constructors for several hundreds of years. Later they were filled in possibly when a new way of worship and reverence was found and so the old sacred sites were closed. The cairns in their large size seem set to hold great importance for many people and yet their small passages and chambers are only available for either small groups, or individuals. The light from the Solstice Sun gives a direct beam along the passage and into the chamber at the day chosen with the Summer longest day and Winter shortest day having positions on the horizon at dawn and at sunset available for the builders to set their structure around. Those that took part in interior ceremony could be experiencing a rite of passage and from their inner seclusion they could be greeted by the Sun entering in at a significant moment and then by all that were gathered around the large monuments as the adorants came back to the community after their isolation.
I remember from a few decades ago the stones at the rear of the chamber being brought to life by the Sun when it shone straight along the passage. This light dancing on a stone with either quartz, or granite in could be the first light for the adorant to see after days of fasting, maybe of eating ceremonial food and of intense meditation so that the light in the stone shone to show life in the bone of the land the stone that would be the collection place for the cleaned bones of the dead as markers of belonging and signs of knowing all returning to the glowering Sun, to the finding of the murmuring of the Moon and to the awakening to the stellar shimmering the stars.
The highlighted section of the chamber could be the projection screen of the tomb. After a period of darkness in the chamber the light returning through projection focused along the passage would dance on the projection screen stones and with a tone from the human voice the dust in the passage could be seen to move in and out of waves and lozenge shapes forming transient structures in the moving dust and light. The light held such delicate structures possible only for a short while along the alignment at either dawn, or sunset and the shapes would slow and cease as the light source moved away from the direct alignment in matter of minutes. These waves and lozenge shapes are were carved into the stones of some chambered cairns leaving a record in the stone on the bone of the land a presentation hammered into the stone that was home to the ancestors and the shaping of the returning regenerating medium that as it wore down gave vital nutrients to the next new growth that through roots and shoots, seeds and flowers would break down the stones into sparkling sands and grits echoing the steady progressions and predictable processions of the lights of the camp fires shining out with hope and potential in the sky above.

se voltar pro útero fosse possível
iria correndo
entrava sem bater
e morreria la dentro.
útero de feto adulto é cama quente
na posição fetal:
você chora, dorme e esquece.
if to come back for the uterus was possible
i would go running
would enter without beating
and would die there inside.
utero of adult embryo is hot bed
in the fetal position
you cry, sleep and forget.

Positioned at North Point on Crow's Nest Mountain above the Hudson River.
There we'rent many clouds on this morning, especially pre-dawn, but as the sun began to rise a few moved in from the west. Before the sun became partially blocked by the clouds, disrupting the sidelight on the mountains, I was able to create this composition.
