With "pigs" and double-stacks still draped over the upward gradient, BNSF 6240 and its comrades obscure the sky above them with black exhaust as they fight their way eastbound across one of the many apexes, such as the one here in Maine, AZ, with the former Santa Fe's track alignment upgrades making at least one of their mainline grades slightly easier to tackle on the afternoon of June 6, 2021.
On the lonely stretch of beach just after midnight, this is how the full moon looked over the ocean. The fence was put out there by the Navy to separate this public beach with their Naval base.
I like the balance in this image - the winter light softens the tones, the hint of a path leading you through the scene and over the hill to more interesting views, the subject weighted to the left with the woods to the right... all very pleasing to find on a afternoon walk in Bradgate Park, Leicestershire.

Flickr always screws the contrast and sharpness on the little one It's WAY superior over here!
I'm not sure which one I like better, this one or this one. Any comments?
Strobist info: Canon 430ex into an umbrella at camera right and a Vivitar 285hv high above as a backlight, but now that I look at it, I'm not sure it went off... but it was there.
A stitched panorama of the Murray River a few kilometres downstream from Echuca-Moama. The river marks the border between the states of New South Wales and Victoria for much of its length, with the river "belonging" to NSW, and Victorian territory beginning on the left bank (on the right of this frame because the view is upstream.
I have been away for a couple of days enjoying the "Serenity" of a "castle" belonging to friends at Bonnie Doon in Victoria. I'm back on deck now and beginning to catch up with commenting on the posts made in my absence. Thanks for your patience!
We measure time according to the movement of countless suns;
and they measure time by little machines in their little pockets.
Now tell me, how could we ever meet at the same place and the same time?

"HOW STRANGE IS THIS COMBINATION OF PROXIMITY AND SEPARATION. THAT GROUND - SECONDS AWAY - THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY."
Charles A. Lindbergh
Ha ragione, Lindbergh: com'è bizzarra, questa combinazione di prossimità e separazione... Una distanza che è al contempo di pochissimi secondi e moltissimi chilometri.
E' così.
Congiunzione di estremi.
Annullamento istantaneo di distanze in una linea ideale di contatto. Che è un orizzonte.
Prossimità NELLA separazione.

In questa fotografia, che per ovvi motivi non mi sono potuta scattare personalmente (ringrazio l'operatore con la GoPro), mi vedete nel bel mezzo di un lancio in tandem con Daniele Camponeschi, valentissimo paracadutista, amico, nonché mio collega Accompagnatore di Alpinismo Giovanile del Club Alpino Italiano, a cui dedico questo scatto e queste parole.
L'emozione del volo, la sensazione di cielo in cui galleggi con l'aria che ti investe togliendoti il respiro, premendo con forza sui polmoni; e poi la vista della terra che ti si proietta praticamente addosso nell'istante in cui inizi a respirare con nuova regolarità .
Perché a volte, nei nostri giorni, nel profondo di noi stessi, proviamo un bisogno profondo di volare. Forse lo proviamo tutti. Io senza dubbio.
Qui ho deciso di non aver paura di fare un salto nel vuoto, affidandomi all'emozione e all'istinto; e ne è valsa la pena.
