I was at the local nature reserve, taking pictures of the ducks. I saw the reflection of the trees in the water. The surface of the water was like a millpond, but the breeze was moving the branches on the trees. I liked the abstract look this gave. I converted to black and white as there was little colour in the scene anyway and what there was, was distracting.
NPR 5535 its tied down and idling northwest of Thief River Falls west of Dakota Junction - perfect placement for a reflection photo. The train's location was just the right distance from the Pennington 74 - 120th Ave grade crossing. I am also glad that this unit was the leader as it still has its original bell and not one of the electronic bells outfitted on many of the other SD60Fs on the Northern Plains roster.
Light from the glowing walls of the Zion Narrows reflects off the waters of the North Fork of the Virgin River. Zion National Park is really an amazing place, with arguably some of the best day hikes in the world. From slot canyons such as this (and the Subway) to awesome vistas like Angel's Landing and the Zion Overlook trail, the park has everything! It would take many, many years to really see the whole park. I spent less than a week here, and had just enough time to do the more well-known and famous hikes.
This particular shot was taken in the early afternoon, on the way back to the trail head from the 'no permit turn-around' point of Big Spring. As you get closer to the trail head, the number of people hiking increases exponentially - it was essentially impossible to get any good people-free shots after this point (which is near the mouth of Orderville Canyon). Almost the entire hike is spent in the river, so make sure to be prepared for cold water. The water levels were lower here than is normal for late spring/early summer, and there were still several spots that were close to chest deep. Definitely a risk with all the camera gear, but a well-worth it risk.

A calm and cloudy day in Buttermere. With some great reflections and mist and clouds to work with I enjoyed the morning.
