Precision Scheduled Railroading is in full effect throughout the Roseville Service Unit. In order to better the company's operating ratio, Union Pacific elected to run fewer & longer trains. This business model cuts down on costs associated with rail transport, such as crew salary and fuel consumption.
After departing Roseville at over 10,000' in length, the MWCEU of September 6th was making good time up the (flat) Valley Subdivision to Redding. At Redding, 22 cars would be set out, causing a nearly hour delay. By the time the train was headed north again, the late summer evening was drawing to a close.
In this shot, the sound of a gentle summer breeze is broken by the echoing rumble of a freight train working northbound through the Sacramento River Canyon. UP 1983, the Western Pacific Heritage Unit, catches the last little bit of daylight as it leads a 111-car manifest through Vollmer's Delta.

Small, Green Violetear Hummingbird prepares to connect with this rather large trumpet-shaped flower. A fraction of a second later, it had its head and bill totally within the tube of the bloom.
Best viewed enlarged.

I wasn't sure whet I was going to use for this challenge and then I thought about these which I used recently.
Belonged to my Father although I don't know what he used them for. They are worn on the head and the magnifier is hinged to lift up out of the way when not using. Provides hands free magnification and so it is very useful. This is in its original box, the bottom of which is velvet lined for protection. I used them recently when looking for that dreaded broken needle inside my machine. Ideal for close intricate work potentially jewellery work
Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise. The movies would have been a whole lot shorter if they'd put in the practice!
this building is silver grey, as you can see in the top part. Because of the shadow, it gets a blue hue that I have not corrected. However, I have corrected the verticals.
One of my tries for MM 'intended contact' theme, which I realised would be good for 118 pictures 'precision' category.

. . . For my first "photo walk"after having ankle replacement surgery 5 weeks ago, I choose to walk a whole 30 feet into the shade of the Holiday Inn in Traverse City, and watch the incredible Blue Angels do their stuff! Wow!
My kind of photo walk for now, hopefully off crutches in a few weeks! Not sure how I got burnt to a crisp sitting in the 96 degree shade, I blame the water reflection!
Have a great weekend and stay cool if you are at this show!
Balance and precision - Stonechat - female, Hampshire.
HFF everyone :)
Info from the RSPB
Conservation status: Green
Stonechats are robin sized birds. Males have striking black heads with white around the side of their neck, orange-red breasts and a mottled brown back. Females lack the male's black head, but have brown backs and an orange tinge to their chests. Birds are frequently seen flicking their wings while perched, often doing so on the tops of low bushes. As its name suggests, birds utter a sharp loud call that sound like two stones being tapped together. They breed in western and southern parts of the UK, but disperse more widely in winter.

I was impressed by my friend's software which predicted the moon would show up at the tip of the triangle building.

In architecture, the term precision, in the sense of “respect for order and exactness”, explains everything. No error is allowed!
Heard about this 280 going through Hastings just as I was hitting the interstate from Madison to Wausau. After I got the gears turning and remembered that I haven't seen a CP 60M leading a road train for a long time, I decided to take the left turn at Portage and try my luck for this guy on the south end of the River Sub. Made it to Dakota with about 20 min to spare. One and done for me, but this is my first good wedge of a CP 60M since they came out.
