After the sad demise of my other pocket camera (the Ricoh GR), I've returned to the Canon G7X which I bought for very little 2nd hand. If you push it it can make some nice bokeh, and I am now having a 'second honeymoon' with it :)
What a good horse! For those of you who don't know what that is and want to change my title....A push-button ride is very forgiving of mistakes, will do something you are trying to ask even if your riding is very inaccurate, In other words, uncomplicated to ride... the type that most people like. No one gets rid of horses like this as they're priceless. It's just too bad men don't come in that feature :) Ha!

Pushing on past my usual editing limits, I liked the emphasis a richer color tone and contrast added to the top of this escalator. However, just so you know I don't take my efforts too seriously, ponder the following thought by Demetri Martin:
"If I have to move up in a building, I choose the elevator over the escalator. Because one time I was riding the escalator and I tripped. I fell down the stairs for an hour and a half."
I spent last week far from my daily neighborhood. The surroundings were great. The fellow garden full of flowers and wide fields full of space to breathe.
I wanted to fill every available minute with shooting, as it's so rare to have such a great scenery.

Talacre Lighthouse
Headed to Talacre for sunrise this morning. The tide was on its way out and had washed away any footprints from the previous evening. Since sunrise was at 5:30am we had the beach to ourselves so i took the opportunity to send the drone up for a few shots :)
I went again for sunrise, it was worst then yesterday, no colors at all...NOTHING. So, I played with long exposure of waves, the tide was coming up slowly but surely. I felt that B-W was more suited for this scene. I also went to the other end of the beach where there is mostly sand.
A typical summer afternoon at CP Morgan as Metra's then-new SD70MACHs handle the lion's share of traffic into and out of Chicago. I'm not sure which trains these are but it doesn't really matter. After 30+ moves in a few hours they begin to all look alike.
Side note: I have a similar shot from this vantage point back in 2020 and construction on that blue-green skyscraper center frame has not even started.
