This is a rescan of one of my earliest flickr postings and I always liked the way this shot gave a feeling of power and speed. 704, 404, 401 and the trailing 57 cars of Lake States train 12 scream around the curve at Kinross on August 29, 1987. I followed this job right out of SOO yard all the way until sunset near Caffey getting it in about a dozen locations.
LAMEST PHOTO EVER. -_-
I'm sorry. Since I promised that I will be posting a photo I actually took today, this is all I got. I've run out of inspirations and ideas and I'm tired. I have a chemistry and history quiz tomorrow and I haven't even studied. So please forgive me for posting this photo. As soon as Cheering practice is over, i promise to post better pictures.
I love cute pens. <333
Posting a series of 2018 photos taken during a flickr meetup with Rod.
I can't remember what this is about. Let me ask Rod again.

I have been posting phone pics of late not because I am not using my 'real' camera but simply because, after procrastinating for an embarrassing amount of time, I finally uploaded the images that had been languishing on my phone for several years and I am in the throes of organizing and 'developing' them. The light at Keefer Lake can change suddenly in unexpected ways and then disappear just as fast. It is often the case that my phone is the only camera that I have on hand when this happens. The photo above was taken when I was working on the boat ... the shoreline lit up late in the day for about 10 minutes and then Mother Nature turned it off before I could run up to the house and get my camera. The phone has a very nice panorama setting that let me capture almost 270 degrees of the display.

I am posting the picture that spoke to me this morning. It has so many technical problems but it represents the purest of my intentions. Every day I make another mistake when shooting and I am learning and finding value from the process. Today's error was forgetting to change auto ISO to manual so my camera chose crazily high which created all sorts of noise. There is something very difficult for me about showing my flaws and most authentic self. I guess we all want to be good at something and protect our fragile egos. Today I am taking a big step for me and highlighting my mistakes. We all make mistakes and it is okay. I'll keep repeating this to myself and let it sink in until I believe it. I must be a good example to my kids, trying to be perfect can create unrealistic expectations and great anxiety.
I have been meaning to do some shots with Teddy Bears and various Grand kids but have never gotten to it.
I don't believe they fit the theme I have been posting on Tuesdays.
A different feel for these.
Finally cooler here today.
As promised posting a few more shots of the Solar Eclipse I shot yesterday .Shot the Partial Solar Eclipse from my balcony. Have various stages of the same .Will post them .The reason for such a hype is its a total SOlar Eclipse visible in India, though I could see only partial being on the penumbra rather than umbra of the solar eclipse . Its an experience and I am so glad i could see this once in lifetime event. This started at 5.54 India time and ended at 7.18 India time. This the longest Solar eclipse of the 21st Century and only visible in the eastern parts of the world like India, China, Bangladesh, Japan etc . Many parts of the country had monsoon clouds so not many people could see this event . I was just lucky .
Good morning everyone. Today's posting is the 7th in a series of different grasshoppers photographed by yours truly, and as the title indicates the last I'll be posting this year on grasshoppers. Of which I'm sure many of you will be thankful about :-)
With that said, featured today is the Red-legged Grasshopper (Melanoplus femurrubrum), which without a doubt is the most common grasshopper found here locally. Especially this past season where in some areas such as the reclaimed strip mine that I visit often there seemed to be zillions of them. You couldn't take a step without at least a dozen or so jumping & flying away in front of you. But in spite of so many they aren't the best of photo subjects. Just not very co-operative when it comes to posing for pics.
As for these photos, I thought I would start the set off with a pic of a Red-legged nymph. Late stage instar, so it's not fully developed as evident by the undeveloped wings, which in the above photo look like a black triangle just behind the pronotum. As for the rest of the photos in the comment section and my stream, they're all of adults.
I hope you enjoy this last grasshopper series and as always, don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the additional photos in the comment section. Even better, scroll to them by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to any pic in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find the full text describing this very common North American grasshopper.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.

I was going to take a break from posting Iceland shots for a while in the hope that I would be back to shooting locally but the uninspiring conditions continue!
So here's another Iceland shot!
This was one of the last shots I took and a little detour heading back to Reykjavik, I took lots of shots here most of them zoomed in to capture the flow and textures.
The old post by the jetty has become a regular spot for our local cormorants and shags.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on, fave or simply view my photos. It is truly appreciated.

One from a year ago. Wasn't sure if this was worth posting, but decided I do quite like it.
What I particularly like is the lovely patch of green grass below the tree, and the way it stands out against the surrounding bracken....Simply that!
Posting some quirky shots from an outing at Shelby Farms, Memphis, Tn. This is a painted lady working the zinnia blooms.

Thanks for stopping by and view this photo. The reason for posting this photo on Flickr is to learn so if you have constructive feedback regarding what I could do better and / or what I should try, drop me a note I would love to hear your input.
View On Black the way it should be seen!

I'm posting this last image of this poor Red Shouldered Hawk trying to figure out what he is doing wrong and why he cannot catch a meal.
Anyway folks I'm having trouble with the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, and Flickr is all screwed up.
I cannot make comments, or post invites to images of contacts photos all day, do not know what is happening but also trouble with my comcast service, phone, t.v, internet and e-mail, do not know when I will be able to return to normalcy here folks, soon I hope, please understand and bear with me and my troubles, thank you.
Nobody. Still posting old stuff until new adventures arise.
This is an empty early morning Abu Simbel in September 2009 as we were the first to arrive before the cattle from the tourbuses were unleashed.
This place has a pretty cool story: it was build 7 or 8 centuries ago, forgotten, then discovered early 1800s but in the 1960s this entire mountain was cut into pieces and relocated to this new location as the original location was put under water (Nasserlake) for the Aswan dam to collect hydropower. This is the south of Egypt, close to the Sudan border.
Two day before I shot this, we were in Caïro looking at the Piramids. We were put on the nighttrain to Aswan. From Aswan there is a convoy to Abu Simbel (twice a day I believe) with police escort. We were told there were pirates in the desert and therefore you could not drive up there yourself as you would be stopped along the highway and get robbed. At least, that is the story.
An unseasonal posting from February 2021. It is a while since I have walked regularly, but when I do, I pass these trees as often as not, and, for things that are perhaps two-hundred or more years old, they change by the day.

My apologies for posting another shot taken at Angrholm so soon after the last one of 'Britannia' on Saturday. However the promise of a lovely day in the north-west with a light wind didn't materialize with hardly any sun to speak about all day. There was also a very strong westerly wind which was a concern with regards locations. I decided to head back up the steep hill to Angrholm knowing that even in poor light this location takes some beating. The crew are still working the Scot really hard on the climb to Aisgill summit and what a terrific sound she made. It was lovely to see Graham McCulloch at Aisgill with his friends Graham & Mike. Also whilst standing at Angrholm, I finally got to meet David Horner (DWH284) and what a lovely gentleman he is. Hope our paths cross again very soon David it was great to chat.

Posting some old Morocco stuff until new adventures arise.
This shot was taken along the R307 and I was driving from the Ouzoud waterfalls to the south, over/ through the High Atlas mountains. My navigation was telling me to first go back to Marrakesh and then take the N9 over the mountains. I thought: why? This is much shorter. But after a couple of hours I found out why there was a different advise from the navigation... the quality of the road was no good. It was bad. It was the road to hell! I'd had made a mistake.
But I couldn't go back because the sun would go down fast. Driving back in the darkness in these mountains for hours? No way. We're going south... Dakar stylo! If I get a puncture, if my car breaks down then that is what it is. The wolves will eat me. Then it's a good day for the wolves. This is a good place to die. I like the mountains. They will find a skeleton of a opportunistic Dakar pilot in a silver Renault Symbol 1.6l 16v. Don't panic, let me put some tunes on and then we're gonna take care of business. Satan, come on get me you piece of sh¡t!
Posting that recent hammerhead photo reminded me of this trip a couple years ago. Here is a proper back to back set with a train to boot! Despite being dressed in modern YN3b paint 468 is a (then) 19 year old AC4400CW built by GE in Aug. 2000.
They are rolling down two blocks of South 7th Street and just behind me they will cross Union Street at MP QCV 1 on the Claverack Industrial Track and curve to drop down the steep 3.22% grade to the yard beside Amtrak's Hudson Line main. This job solely exists to serve the ADM flour mill located in the former Lone Star Cement facility that is also the only reason this unique two mile stretch of the former Boston and Albany Railroad's Hudson and Chatham Branch survives.

The last long exposure for now. Similar use of multiple exposure as my previous postings this week.
Thanks for stopping by.

This Month I will be Posting eight mini groups of four pics....titled 8x4
Because I'm Lazy all pics from one group will be posted at the same time. So 4 Pics will be posted and then nothing until the process is repeated with the following group.
I am sure a few Pics have already made an appearance in the past but if you can tolerate my crap then you can also tolerate me Sunbathing and drinking a little Red wine this month.
There are lots of Projects in the Pipeline.
Next Month will be devoted to a New Theme....".EUCALYPTUS" ...of which 4 pics will be present here.
Hope you like the Stuff.......Cheers!!!!!
Last posting for a few weeks, this was taken a couple of weeks ago after I had finished checking the results of the previous nights moth trap. Haven't seen that many of these crab spiders this year and this one, on the last of the Rudbeckias, caught my attention as the camouflage was clearly not working here, so must have only climbed up very recently.
Best viewed very large.

Posting this very late, or early depending on how you think of it, 1:30 am. Should be sleeping but decided to see if the Milky Way could be seen from my location tonight. Near Murdo South Dakota at a decommissioned State Scale. Besides a little traffic very dark and a clear sky, tons of stars visible. Even with the naked eye you can barely see the Milky Way. (when you know where to look) I was in bed about to sleep when I decided to check the SkyView app and see if the Milky Way might be visible. Not the greatest Milky Way shot, shutter a little too long so the stars are not round. Only able to take a couple of shots, the intermittent traffic messed up a couple of tries, and then the wind began to blow and my tripod was not staying steady enough. Anyway, pretty happy with how it came out, imperfect as it is.
The foreground, farm and lake was taken in Minnesota off I-94 on the 4th of this month. So if you're looking at my camera settings that's why they don't make sense. They were for the day time shot of the farm. Used Luminar 4 to add my Milky Way, and Light Room to put some Milky Way reflections on the lake.
I've been visiting a few of you each day, will keep doing that. So far it looks like you've all been staying safe, at least those of you I've had a chance to visit. Hope that's the case for all of you.
On my way to SoCal, then home later next week for a few days.
(wow, slow internet out here, about 5 minutes to upload)
I thought it was worth posting another from the other morning... I think I prefer this one, the colours are a bit more natural maybe? Also because of the lower light it was easier to capture a long exposure naturally, I couldn't do it with filters as it was too windy up there.
I caught another wonderful rainbow yesterday afternoon and a beautiful sunrise today in the New Forest.
I am getting a lot of time for photography at the moment. For a couple of reasons I sort of had no choice but to take voluntary redundancy from my job. So not working really for the first time since I was 18... which was a looonngg time ago!! I'm actually missing a structured routine and fitting photography in around my working hours. Hopefully things will change next year.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. (Yes it is Friday, I think) x
Posting just to upload something. I'm really frustrated at myself for how horrible all the photos I've been taking are. Hopefully I'll make something good soon.
This is from the summer, and the post-processing was really frustrating and there are still things that i don't like. I like it because the water looks good but i don't like the colors very much. My face looks weird too. Oh well.
Posting some form Italy today, and from a street in Napoli. A scooter on the way down onto busy roads, and I wanted to capture this differently, but everything was moving so quickly, constantly changing the scene.
I am posting two extra photos today because I have NEVER seen Lake Michigan as turbulent as it has been this afternoon. Gale winds and 10-15 foot waves....I drove the short distance to the end of South Pier Drive due to the pounding wind-driven rain and stood far away from the pier, relying upon my telephoto lens. Never underestimate the power of Lake Michigan. Never.
Week 3 of my 52 Week Project. : MY HAPPY PLACE.
__________________
My happy place is.. the lake near my home. However, a photo for this subject was a very hard decision! There are quite a few local places that I consider to be my "happy place". More recently this has become my new happy place.. (or at least in my top 3)!
HOWEVER, PHOTOGRAPHY ITSELF = IS MY HAPPY PLACE!!
On my way home from physical therapy today, (which is going VERY WELL if you're wondering), I asked Juan to stop by the park so I could hop out really quick and take some photos.
& I have to say, photography... taking photos on a very nice day & running back to the car KNOWING that I just took some amazing photos- with a huge smile on my face- jumping up and down, kissing Juan on the cheek and thanking him a hundred times for stopping at the perfect time.. and helping me to capture these great photos ... = That has become my new "favorite drug" or natural high.
I cannot even explain the feeling I get when I take a photo and even more so when I know I just captured some incredible shots... It's actually BETTER than any drug ever was for me.
..You should have seen me today as I was taking the photos and after I was done.. I'm still beaming.
There really is no better feeling in the world , than TAKING A GREAT PHOTO!
_______
>>>Btw: These are frozen water drops on the grass by the lake. I am in love with this.. (I have a few more that I'm going to look thru and possibly post in the future.. I have a TON of incredible images from today.. so I'll be posting them in the near future! Keep an eye out.
Hope everyone has a beautiful and blessed day! Stay positive, everything will be okay!
Well....... I finally got round to editing and posting an image from nearly a week ago last Thursday during, what has to be said, a cracking morning on Todd Crag with Tony Higginson and Danny Astro Kenealy. More to edit so there is more to come.
As always, all my images are available to purchase through my website so why not pop along there and take a look.

Posting this one again as I was very pleased to learn today that it has been commended in the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year competition.
I'm posting from the road, spending the week in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan photographing the Fall colors. This is a photo taken yesterday of Bond Falls near Paulding, Michigan. Thanks for viewing and I look forward to catching up on everyones work next week.
Kind of late in posting today. I had no idea as to what to post and was going through older shots when out the window I noticed some Redpolls at the feeder. I grabbed a camera and while shooting the Redpolls this Nuthatch showed up only for a few moments. I only managed a few shots before it flew away.
Here it has crouched down to try to escape the force of the wind which is gusting now and again today, making it feel very cold.
Hot off of the press, shot from the warmth of my office, likely taking a couple of clicks to full view.
After posting yesterday's Dettifoss panoramic shot, I discovered this video footage of Dettifoss in my archive. Nobody will ever see it in my archive, so I'm posting it here for all the world to see.
Press L to view large.
With this posting, my good Flickr friends, I end my long, 58-image series on the wonderful Ice Caves of northern Wisconsin...
I think I saved the best for last-- a pristine view of frozen Lake Superior, featuring the high sandstone archway of a large ice cave. It's been a great ride-- both in the experience of actually exploring the caves, as well as in sharing them with you through the world-wide medium of Flickr! I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed sharing the images with you.
A sincere THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to view and to comment on so many of them!! It was an honor to have some images actually make the Explore 500 :)
Of course I have hundreds more, but this is enough for now. I will throw some in the mix of my postings every once in a while for good measure. Now it's on to birds, the Horicon Marsh, the Lake Michigan lakefront, and to the farms, animals, and scenes of lovely rural Wisconsin.
Blessing to all of you!
