Aerial panorama looking across Campbell Lake towards the Mackenzie Delta in Canada's Northwest Territories. While rivers often form a delta when they flow into a lake, the outflow of a lake is usually a single stream. Campbell Lake features an unusual reverse delta. Normally, water drains from the lake into the East Channel of the Mackenzie Delta. But during spring floods when the water level in the Mackenzie River is high, the flow reverses, bringing silt-laden water from the Mackenzie River into Campbell Lake. Over time the silt has built up this reverse delta, filling the centre of the lake and nearly dividing it in two. Panorama stitched from 5 files in landscape format.
1107 and 1106 round the sweeping bends at Sodwalls, with a 12 hour late running 9865 empty ore train, bound for Blayney to load.
Climbing the Blue Mountains near Bell, 1108 suffered a collapsed axel, causing the train to be stopped and requiring immediate repairs. The bearings were subsequently held up with blocks of wood and the train was moved at 5km/h until Lithgow, where the locomotive was finally detached from the lead and put into a siding.
The 1100 class typically only leads with the cab facing forward, however on this occasion, with no turning facilities available, the train continued on "long end leading" at a top speed of 50km/h to Blayney.

66161 has just arrived at a snowy Cwmbargoed back in December 2017 and the driver begins to reverse into the loading area with 4V01 Hope Earles Sidings - Cwmbargoed.
It is suggested that in order to generate depth in an image, a landscape photographer should lead the eye into an image by making the foreground dark, and the background lighter. That in fact our eyes will be lead into the image because they are attracted to the light. Sounds like a moth to the flame to me.
I however think there is more to it. Rather, the eye is drawn to a contrasting element and to illustrate my point, this image is the reverse of the accepted norm. Instead, the brightly lit trees are in the foreground and the darkest area a single tree, in the background. Do your eyes rest on the dark?
Please share your thoughts.

The scrap job back down the drill track at Red Rock towards the switch leading onto the island along Red Rock Road for more routine switching. 4402 has held down this job for over two weeks at this point.

Yet another series of Sandhill cranes from the Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife refuge in New Mexico. December 2022. Every day was truly unique and different. The number of cranes, the light, the ice, the temperature.....all varied daily.
