We are straining toward the vision
while the new golden calf
is a clown
in our wretched loss of vision.
The thing that makes us breath
and cannot be inhaled in our breathing
is so fucking hard to know.
In the dimly lit corridors of a high-security laboratory, scientists toiled in secrecy on the enigmatic project known as Mutagenic Strain X. Unbeknownst to the world outside, the project held the potential to revolutionize medical science—or unleash an unforeseen catastrophe.
MRL 355, the last of its kind on the Montana Rail Link, growls and roars as it digs into the grade on the east slope of Bozeman Pass. The grade just started a mile or so back in Livingston, and there's still nearly 15 miles to go for this pair of elderly EMDs.

Today, we went to the extremely picturesque Llyn Efyrnwy in Powys, with incredible weather too! Our day started at 0300 with the sound of an unwanted alarm. We wanted to be out of the house by 0345 to ensure we hit the lake in time for Dawn. It was worth it! Not a single car or person in sight! We had time to capture a number of shots and then head to the Lake Vyrnwy Hotel & Spa for breakfast before coming across anybody!
What a day for photography. Clear dark blue skies all day, and a great opportunity to teach Gemma how to use her new camera.
This shot was taken at around 0615 just as the sun broke the horizon and lit the western banks of the reservoir.
The straining tower on Llyn Efyrnwy is a a filter which strains material in the water via a metal mesh before it flows along the aqueduct to Liverpool. The tower sits 47m tall (32m of which is above water). The water from Llyn Efyrnwy is carried 68 miles to Merseyside along the Vyrnwy large Diameter Trunk Main (LDTM) aqueduct originally constructed in 1881.h

It's the feeling you get right after you cry.
A mixture of despondence and relief. Like a weight has been lifted but your chest is still heavy.
LIke you're full of air but you still can't breathe.
This Common Merganser was dunking it's head under the water as it worked it's way up stream. It would pull it's head out and some times it held the water in it's beak and let it slowly flow out. It seemed like it was trying to keep some tiny bits of food inside while it got rid of the water.
The conversion to black and white has brought more of the detail out in the snow in front of the dogs.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
This would have been much better had I taken the Manfrotto and some NDs. Instead I took an excitable labratriever that I am convinced is part dolphin and only got this instead. Schoolboy error.
