A quick post of a bird shot from last year. Played with this a little while back and I like how it came out.
The top floor had terrified me, quite frankly. Even Michael didn't like it and he's as stoic and calm as they come. We quickly descended to the floor below and walked through the long corridors, lined by these rectangular spaces, each which would have been a room in someone's flat.
In another life.
I always imagine building sites and occasionally these derelict places having wall-to-wall glass when finished. That's never the case - glass is expensive and I guess people need wall space to put stuff against. But still, in my head I could see this as a finished room with the hole in front of me as one giant. It would be marvellous.
This is another one of those waterfalls where the sheer force of nature will amaze you. The power of the water falling is so great here it seems to generate a constant cloud rising up from the bottom. The mist never really dissipates, just always changes shape and form in constant movement. I suppose one of the only constants in life is change.
This is taken from the edge, and by edge I mean I shouldn't be standing here, and will never stand there again. I couldn't help but think to myself, one little extra surge of water... But no surge came. I took a few quick careful shots as downward facing as comfort would allow and stitched them together with great difficulty as I didn't have 40% coverage. No auto-stitching for me. Such is life, this place is worth the extra effort.

"When I am wronged, may I be Quick to forgive and when I do wrong, may I be Quick to ask forgiveness"
...and speaking of Quick....this Heron is searching for his dinner and as He intently watches and waits, when that moment comes, it is amazing to watch how Quick he is to grab his food. I watched this gorgeous Heron Quickly grab and swallow 3 good sized fish in about 5 minutes of fishing! I love watching these birds fish, they are amazing and incredibly graceful!
I hope your week is off to a great start and if not....well you can always push that restart button and begin again! Enjoy & have a wonderful day my friends!
I'm not looking forward to the bugs, washouts, excessive trackwork or sun kinks, but this sure looks better than the negative degrees fuck this weather we're currently experiencing. WAMX 4187 and friends get after it at Slinger on a clear indication on to the CN Waukesha Subdivision with T004H on a beautiful summer of 2020 morning.
We took a quick weekend trip to Sequoia and Kings Canyon. The weather said thunderstorms all weekend. We were tent camping so this was not the best news. Naturally, any weather besides sunny is great for images. On our way from Boyden cave, we passed these Yucca plants that had beam of light breaking through the clouds, and just black behind them. I was not he only one to see this, several had pulled over and had tripod out. Everyone is a photographer now a days, especially in a national Park. Guess I am no different. So we tripped over each other to get these images. HDR manually processed.
I have been trying to shoot images like my buddy, Bill McIntosh. He has this way of creating a light at the end of the image, and darkness everywhere else. It really pulls you into the image. I was hoping this would do that when I processed it, but it did not quite have enough light on the hills to pull it off. Besides, the image is really about the Yuccas. I will keep trying for the Bill-like shot.

Sri Lanka - Galle to Colombo train. A tourist takes a 'selfie' whilst hanging out the door of our train!
January has been a very busy month for me, and surprisingly I almost made it through the entire month without shooting a moving train! Of course, it doesn't help that Pan Am Southern's Freight Main--which I currently live only five minutes from--is mostly nocturnal, and even if it wasn't the choice is usually a parade of NS widecabs or patched ex-CSX C40-8s. However, when a friend of mine alerted me to the fact that rebuilt CP SD70ACU #7012 in CP heritage paint was leading today's CP 252 down the CP D&H, a quick check of Google Maps reminded me that I'm just a little over 30 minutes from Fort Edward. Having a well-timed prep-from-home day for work, I figured I could take a little time off and do a "one and done." I arrived at Fort Edward station to see nothing around, and just as I finished checking to see that Amtrak 69, "The Adirondack," would be arriving from the south in 15 minutes, I heard an EOT chirp. A quick check of the tracks and there was 252 in the hole! I quickly relocated to Rogers Island since the light was still good for the bridge over the Hudson River. Amtrak passed northbound, and shortly after 252 could be heard throttling up and then blowing for the crossing. One last quick check of my settings and framing, and 252 quickly entered into view. Not bad for my first moving train this month!
Quick iPhone pict. When I get too busy I have to remind myself thinking about photography is not making images. You have to make stuff, even if it’s quick.
The snow dozer pauses briefly at the Merritt crossing to allow a maintenance employee to climb down from the dozer cab and join a co-worker in the waiting hi-rail truck. A quick briefing is had between crews before the work train will get underway once again and continue plowing eastward while the hi-rail will split, probably driving back across the pass to the west side.

It appears as though someone stopped out on the road and then slogged through the snow to check on an old car in the deteriorating shed. Life habits of our parents often pursue us all our lives. My parents farmed on three locations and sometimes after a long day of work on one of them, my dad would irritate me when we were headed home toward supper and he would say, "let's just stop and take a quick check on the tractor in the other field we left for tomorrow." There weren't as many malevolent country folks back then to worry about but he had a protective sense of ownership and responsibility that he passed on to his children by his example.
Couldn't pass up the opportunity for a quick visit trackside to see UP's special "Powered by Our People" on the point of a short passenger train.
The location here is Black Dog, the tracks in the background are now used for storing unneeded NSPX coal gons; until a few years ago Xcel/NSP took coal loads here before the plant was converted to natural gas.
Consist, for those of you into that sort of thing; UP 1111 (Powered by Our People), UPP 207 (power car), UPP 1605 (Powder River), UPP 5779 (Promontory), UPP 413 (Lake Bluff), UPP 203 (Idaho).
Full disclosure, this is a stacked/double-exposed image, one for the train, one for the sky - lighting here, as a line of storms was about to move in, was atrocious.
A couple of days ago I posted a comment saying that I don’t do sports shots and here I go again. Actually I don’t really think of this shot as a sport subject either. It’s an exercise in light and motion that just happens to be a picture of a motor bike.
This was taken at an annual event that is held on the beach front at Kirkcaldy. The local motor cycle club gets to close the beach down and race various styles of bike along the sands. This was my first attempt at a panning shot and to this day it’s been one of my best.
