A Danbury-bound Metro-North train led by New Haven P32AC-DM 229, passes the former 1899-built Bethel Station on a summer evening in June of 2023. After the railroad closed the station, it was a bicycle repair shop and is currently home to the Broken Symmetry Gastro Brewery.
The remote location of Colfred is the scene of a rolling meet on a nice winter day in the desert. Up 9061 is moving west off the Mohawk summit in the distance, and UP 5357 is blasting east at track speed over my left shoulder.
This was the last shot I captured, as we were heading home. This shot was between Tarana and Oberon NSW Australia.
This storm produced a ton of lightning that started due south of where I was all the way to due east before it went behind a hill. It was awesome to see the storm moving steadily across the horizon all the while producing a wonderful light show.
Eastbound grain loads traverse the split mainline around the small town of Watson, Minnesota along the old Milwaukee Road mainline to the west coast. Watson sits up on the hills above the Chippewa River valley just west of Montevideo. Seeing that the railroad planned to bypass their town during its construction, the people of Watson successfully negotiated to have the railroad locate one of the main tracks up onto the hill to serve them. Since the line through the valley didn't require the steep grades of the line into town, most traffic used this main even in Milwaukee Road days. Not surprisingly, it's also the one that the TC&W keeps in service today, although part of the other main through Watson remains and is frequently used to store cars.

This was taken on one of the most memorable mornings I have had shooting the local ccoastline. Rainbows, stunning light and the right tidal conditions but for some reason I had the 7D with me and not the 5dmk2. Shooting at 800iso with the 7D is plain messy and something I would not advise doing!
Sliding or rolling this jar can make an interesting photo.
The jar is only just about 2 inches high and is on a piece of cartridge paper laid on my desk-top.

Krkonoše (in Czech; also Karkonosze in Polish, Riesengebirge in German, or the Giant Mountains) is a mountain range located in the north of the Czech Republic and the south-west of Poland, part of the Sudetes mountain system. The Czech-Polish border, which divides the historic regions of Bohemia and Silesia, runs along the main ridge. The highest peak, Sněžka, is the Czech Republic's highest point with an elevation of 1,602 metres.
On both sides of the border, large areas of the mountains are designated national parks (the Krkonoše National Park in the Czech Republic and the Karkonosze National Park in Poland), and these together constitute a cross-border biosphere reserve under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme. The River Elbe rises within the Krkonoše. The range has a number of major ski resorts, and is a popular destination for tourists engaging in downhill and cross-country skiing, hiking, cycling and other activities.

In these troubled COVID-19 times, me & family somehow managed to buy a weekend house just between Krkonoše and Jizerské hory mountain ranges, Czechia - a place literally in the middle of nowhere, accessible only by 4WD in spring/autumn, and with snowmobile in winter.
These are photographs from its surroundings.
A pleasant walk around this beautiful place, rounded off with some delicious fish and chips, looking over towards the very fine Bridge inn, seated on the banks of the River Clyst. A wonderful venue, abound with fine ales and cider served on gravity with a handle if you please!
Rolling fields in the high plains of Teton Valley, Idaho serve as foreground to a view of Fred's Mountain (Grand Targhee ski resort) backed by the "Four Tetons," Teewinot, Grand, Middle, and South Teton peaks.
CN manifest traffic passes through Sauntry siding in Solon Springs, Wisconsin on the main track of the CN Superior Sundivision. Warm and summery weather gave way to cold, wet, and cloudy conditions 20 or so degrees below normal for early September. Alternating waves of rain and mist rolled through at while waiting for this train to show up.
If we let the river of life permeate us, we become trees of life, for the mystery that the river symbolizes takes hold of us. This is the mystery above all others, the one in which Saint Paul sees and contemplates the entire saving plan, which the living God is carrying out in history. We too, who stand at the threshold of its complete fulfillment, are allowed to apprehend by faith its beginning and unfolding.

A snap from the archive, a bit of everything all in one shot. Rolling mist, a castle on a hill, a pair of trees, some crows and frosty grass.
The green rolling hills of Bristol look like lush carpeting. This is the back yard of the home I stayed in while visiting. When I start coveting the view, I think of having to mow the lawn, lol! Lots of work but oh, how that view is worth it!
The first train of the day to Silverton on 8-12-17 finds its way rolling up towards Rockwood, where the train will enter the secluded canyon area for the rest of the way to Silverton.
