Clear Lake - Iowa
Not much action on the beach today! Temps cool in the mid fifties, and strong sustained winds at thirty-five plus mph. We didn't stay very long either, but the whitecaps on this side of the lake were amazing!
Spring is having a tough start in north central Iowa. Come June, this whole area will be filled with parents, pipsqueaks and poodles!

Union Pacific's Sharp, Utah - Valmy, Nevada coal train is making good time, rolling along State Street on the Provo Subdivision between American Fork and Lehi, Utah the afternoon of Nov. 3, 1985. The open fields that bordered the track are all gone now. In fact, a Costco big box store occupies this plot of land today. Time marches on, like it or not!

This foggy early morning scene at Guadalupe State Park in Texas provided an inviting landscape to explore.
We spent a couple of relaxing days last weekend at Pere Marquette State Park and Grafton Illinois enjoying the fall colors and the Mississippi and Illinois River vistas.
Here is a second attempt at the State Capitol building. The sky was on fire this particular morning, see previous panorama of the same morning.
This image is double exposed in photoshop. I created a duplicate layer and exposed the bottom layer for the foreground and exposed the top layer for the sky manually blending the two with layer masks.
Thanks for looking.
Fuji X-E2 plus Samyang telephoto mirror lens at close range. You are, of course, completely free to associate this image with ideas of your own. To me, there is some symbolism involved, namely, a visual expression of the way many nations have rubber-stamped or given their seal of approval to the atrocities directed by Israel's right-wing government - not necessarily by their words, but by their deeds or rather by their non-action. Some nations had already acknowledged the statehood of Palestine and France has now joined this group. This is extremely important for the pursuit of the long-awaited "two-state" solution. A quick fix it certainly is not, for the rulers of Gaza, though fairly diminished now, are Hamas, a totalitarian and violent regime that has as much to do with liberty as a cow with playing the violin. But France has made a point.

The State Theatre originally opened as the Lyric Theater in the early 1900s. After suffering several fires it would later be rebuilt at the State Theatre. It is now home to the Traverse City Film Festival (founded by Michael Moore). Sadly it has been closed since the COVID outbreak last year.

(Thanks in advance for the views, favs and comments! I'm slowly trying to catch up with everyone. 😎 )
Rock Island Train No. 4, the GOLDEN STATE, curves off CRI&P trackage onto the Union Pacific at Topeka, Kansas, on February 27, 1965. The lead unit is crossing a yard track serving a small yard on the station's south side. E7A 640, AB6 751, and E7B 638B lead the day's train. This was an extra-fare SP/RI train operating between Los Angeles and Chicago. As the train passes under NW Topeka Boulevard, a crewman inspects the cars on the sharp curve––photo by Joe McMillan.

I keep seeing stories about Gunlock State Park and the beautiful falls. I love them so much! When you go, don’t forget to visit the reservoir itself. There’s a newly improved campground and great places to go kayaking, paddle boarding or fishing. It’s a great way to spend the day or the weekend. And whatever you do this Memorial Day weekend, have a great one! Please be safe out there!
