This Wood Duck thought I must have something for him and as he approached he gave me a cool straight on view with reflection.
Yeah all two of them, with a steady glow of light pollution from and neighboring warehouses and factories as well as the largest offender BNSF's A and B yards further up the road. BNSF 3750 sits quietly waiting for a crew to take it west out of Rana.
No exercise required.
Union Pacific's LOA32 "Anaheim Local" strolls through Santa Ana Street as it crosses the southern part of Downtown Anaheim as the train heads for it's first customer at International Paper (Their spot cars are the Boxcars on the rear) before heading south for Costa Mesa.
Blasting off from their last customer of the day, UP’s LOE37 crew gets rolling back towards home base at El Centro. Since this photo was taken, 1413 has emerged from North Little Rock with a fresh coat of Armour Yellow, officially rendering Southern Pacific-painted GP40-2s an extinct species, with the famous scarlet and grey scheme now only donned by a handful of GP60s and AC4400CWs.

It's a lot warmer than home and the hummingbirds are out enjoying the sun but probably cursing the wind.
It is hard to believe that it is mid January - it was 75 degrees F after 5:00 PM at the beach when I took this shot.
Theo van Doesburg, pseudonym of Christian Emil Marie Küpper (born August 30, 1883, Utrecht, Netherlands—died March 7, 1931, Davos, Switzerland), Dutch painter, decorator, poet, and art theorist who was a leader of the De Stijl movement.
Originally van Doesburg intended to pursue a career in the theatre, but he turned to painting about 1900. He worked in Post-Impressionist and Fauvist styles until 1915, when he discovered Piet Mondrian’s work, which convinced van Doesburg to paint geometric abstractions of subjects from nature. His paintings, with their strict use of vertical and horizontal shapes and primary colours, closely resembled Mondrian’s until about 1920. In 1917 van Doesburg was instrumental in forming the De Stijl group of artists, and he also founded the avant-garde art review De Stijl (a publication that was continued until 1931).
