Climbing out of West Vancouver, BC, CN 2638 rounds a tight bend near milepost 9 on the Squamish Subdivision. The line out of West Vancouver hugs the hillside which is surrounded by many multi million dollar homes. Presenting a challenge for the original railway construction team, rock cuts such as these needed to be blasted for this costal stretch of railroad to be completed.
Pt. 2
It started snowing on the afternoon of the 8th and continued through the 9th of February, which brought the birds flocking to the feeders :)
starting at the south end of Carrizo Plain National Monument, California, for a trip down Elkhorn Road.
Sometimes you have to burn it down and start from scratch.
A huge thank you to Anna Skahill for not only modelling in this photo, but in doing so missing out on going to the lake with the rest of the meetup gang (they forgot about us!)
This image has been in my head for months and I knew that I wanted to shoot it in Indiana and right away I knew that Anna would be the perfect person to help me out. I don't think I've ever met someone as 100% genuinely happy and positive as Anna.
It wasn't until after I finished my three hours of shooting that I went on Facebook and Twitter to find my concerned dancer friend's sentiments and disclaimers about my first time on point. Right now I have frozen corn in a towel on my toes. I hope the blisters aren't too bad.
THE THINGS I DO FOR FLICKR.
This morning I was up at 5am (yes, on a school day, I must be mad!) and headed to Start Point Lighthouse on the Devon coast.
This is one of my favourite spots in Devon, the coast here is just so stunning and It's a perfect place for sunrise as it faces East.
The weather report said there would be a mixture of low and high cloud, but when I got up it had changed and there was only the slightest hint of high cloud in the sky, with a fair bit of haze on the horizon. The haze did me a favour and diffused the sunlight as it rose meaning I didn't get any horrible lens flare.
This is the first of three, maybe four shots from this morning, I hope you like it.

The 25 Pounder Gun at the Glebe Dunbar on the Geograph website.
The Ordnance QF 25-pounder, or more simply 25-pounder or 25-pdr, was the major British field gun and howitzer during the Second World War, possessing a 3.45-inch (87.6 mm) calibre. It was introduced into service just before the war started, combining high-angle and direct-fire, relatively high rates of fire, and a reasonably lethal shell in a highly mobile piece. It remained the British Army's primary artillery field piece well into the 1960s, with smaller numbers serving in training units until the 1980s. Quoted from Wikipedia
This was my first stop to catch the CRSA special. Here they head over Fox Lake en route to Janesville, WI.
Grizzlies comparing their jaws is a sign of assertiveness. These cubs will start doing this, then one will swat the other with an oversize paw and then it blows up into a full blown wrestling match.
It seems that animals know just how far they can go before one or the other gets hurt. I've seen them take a scratch on the nose or lose a clump of hair but usually they roll around, try out a variety of wrestling holds and then fifteen minutes later they go back to eating or just sit down exhausted near their mother.

The theme for this week is "Jump". I thought a jump start for inspiration would be a good way to get things going.
The start of another project...
I'm planning on spending as much time as I can with a colony of Grey Seals through the Winter. The project started last weekend with my first visit to find this cute young pup.
I kept a good distance away so as to allow him to carry on rolling around and scratching. Mum was just to the right of this image and she slept most of the time.
