I'm considering changing the bottom garage part to dark bluish grey for some contrast, but haven't decided yet

Thank you very much for your faves and comments!
Tufts of mountain grass catch the last rays of light on the snow-clad slopes of Beinn-y-Phott as the chain of summits extending from Snaefell all the way to North Barrule are beautifully illuminated in the distance. This was taken a few weeks ago in what was probably the last patch of winter weather we can expect for the Isle of Man for this season.
On a completely different note, I woke up to the sad news of the passing of the astrophotographer Alyn Wallace this morning. I’m genuinely shocked and saddened by this, particularly as he was so young. I didn’t personally know Alyn, but I’ve followed his photography adventures and journey keenly for the last 6 years or so. He was an inspiring, engaging and extremely talented photographer who without a doubt had a profound impact on many thousands of photographers across the globe. Half the battle with photography is finding that motivation to drag yourself out the front door to face what are usually uncomfortable environmental conditions head on. Watching his adventures never failed to fill me to the brim with photographic enthusiasm to do this. A reminder if we ever needed it that life is a fragile and fleeting thing. RIP Alyn ✨

Last August the vital Rheintalbahn between Karlsruhe and Basel was closed for two weeks in order to connect a long delayed segment of a new bypass around the city of Rastatt. In 2017 during the construction of said bypass, a tunnel under the existing mainline caved in closing the line for several weeks as railway undertakings scrambled to reroute their trains on poorly suited bypass routes, often with diesel power. For this planned closure, many lessons from the 2017 incident were taken into account and alternative routes were set up for freight. The most interesting diversion was via the French left Rhine railway via the border station in Lauterbourg. The line, while double track on the French side, is only used for relatively sparse commuter services and sees only a small amount of local freight. During the Rastatt closure, months of planning and preparation allowed for approximately approximately 10 trains a day to use the corridor. The trains were organized by a group of Swiss rail undertakings, with locomotives largely from SNCF Fret. Each train operated with both a German and French speaking driver, allowing for operation without crew changes at the borders.
For photographers the most interesting location was by far the station at Lauterbourg which is still controlled by mechanical semaphore signals. After a quick stop, BB 75000 475124 departs Lauterbourg with a SBB 482 in tow.

On a recent visit to Mt Damper falls we discovered that the recent rains had created a new waterfall nearby. Normally this creek is dry.

The grass withers and the flowers fade,
but the word of our God stands forever.

I really wanted to do this shot on a log, but I couldn't find one at the moment.
Inspired by this.
I don't really have much to say today except this: cling to God. Though demons and terror may encircle your life, God is the eye of the storm, the strong tower, your refuge. Nothing can claim victory over you as long as you are safe in His arms.

As it does each year, this lake will dry up in the next couple of months until the Spring snow melt returns next year.
Everything about this moment feels temporary. This eagle was eating breakfast just yards off the road when my wife and I noticed it, along with a companion. A truck rushing past startled them, sending both birds lifting away from the deer carcass lying lifeless in the snow.
As they crossed the open air above the snow-covered field, several large crows descended, harassing this eagle until the eagle had to land and stand its ground, waiting for the intruders to lose interest.
Even this scene won’t last. By the end of the warming spell forecast over the next ten days, the snow itself will be gone from this field.
It’s a fitting reminder of life’s harder moments. Many of the things that feel heavy, or overwhelming are not permanent. If we can remember that most struggles are temporary, it becomes easier to endure them and wait for change to arrive.

How disruptive, having to move away from where we normally have our meals together. A kitchen renovation has turned our daily routine upside down. On the flipside, we've discovered that the light over here in the library is somehow warmer. This temporary bokeh is a nice trade-off too.
Amtrak’s eastbound Southwest Chief spends some extra time in Lamy, New Mexico. Due to a failed locomotive, the train is having an extended stay here. Across the street at the Legal Tender Saloon, business was brisk. After a great dinner there, it was nice to walk around the train. Rough night for all the workers involved though. Amtrak and restaurant.

As I walked back to my car from a shoot, a Robin flew onto a post at my immediate left. I swung the camera round, fired one shot -thankfully the lens was set to autofocus - and he was gone.
I was very surprised that it wasn't blurred. The pink shape behind was a lady in a bright top using an outdoor exercise machine
