It's September already. I feel as if it came too soon, and strangely it is as if I have been waiting for it.
It's been a trainwreck of a summer, all stinging and messy, that left me with torn up hands and a bruised heart.
But everything is temporary.
(this is scribbling on a picture. i'm not very good at this, but the words are sincere.)
This is an abandoned home in Ephrata, Washington. It's been empty for at least 20 years. I keep thinking someday someone is just going to tear it down and start over....
The Chequers Bus Station in Maidstone was refurbished over the summer of 2021 and to prevent buses passing through whilst work was taking place temporary bus stops were positioned in King Street.

A lean-to shelter made of driftwood along the shore of Lake Superior at Gooseberry Falls State Park in Minnesota.
Winter's cold bite of two weeks of sub-zero temperatures seemed like it did a number of parts of the railroad system, which apparently included Chicago intermodal services. Evidence of that was to be found on the BNSF around La Crosse last week, when there were a number of dead trains hanging out on the main line along the Mississippi River.
Here BNSF 6101 is the leader on an eastbound stack train strung out through the curves at Victory, Wisconsin. This was in the middle of three trains that were parked on the main line between the crossovers at DeSoto and Genoa. All three were intermodal trains, at least one with Fed-Ex piggy backs mixed in. This meant effectively another 9 mile section of single track on the Aurora Sub and did lead to wait times for a number of trains at either end. Ironic considering all the efforts the BNSF took a number of years ago to get rid of the single track up in La Crosse...
I took advantage of this train being parked in about the perfect spot and with beautiful sunlight on a sunny Saturday morning to do sort of a mini photo-shoot with the aerial imaging device. This angle was one I especially liked for some reason.
I just pulled up ATCS and 6 days later despite the warm-up in temperatures it doesn't appear much has changed - there's still a block in that section of track with trains running around it...
Taken remotely with my Eufy Security Cam on 8 Aug. It has rained almost an inch since mid-May. The summer monsoon is looking to be one of the driest on record after two consecutive wettest years under La Niña.
The priest will occupy this temporary shelter in the middle of the field for a night or more and preach from here. Rajarata, Sri Lanka
Can result from pointing your camera at the sun. ;-)))
This image is not an HDR, but I did use three different exposures blended with masks on multiple layers in Photoshop to get the final image. This happens to be a view I see almost nightly driving home from work, if you look closely you can see Horsetooth Rock on the right mountain.
Downtown Tempe has seen an explosion of growth and development. Most property owners have succumbed to the profit potential and sold their land, but there a couple who are still fighting. I assume at some point soon this will no longer exist.
sometimes i experiment with cropping my photos into squares; sometimes the result pleases me. i love these neon signs, and really loving how this astia sim looks at night. i’m always trying to catch the smokers out on a break from their machines, but they’re a paranoid lot.
Strobist: EX430 in softbox camera right and behind (see reflection in eye) at 100%, cheapo flash camera left at 90 degrees (bare, to fill left side and light background). triggered with ebay China triggers :)
We drove across the spine of Vancouver Island during a torrential downpour. These small waterfalls are not ordinarily present - they appear to be coming out of the rock, but are likely runoff from all the rain on the mountain. Interesting trip, but with several hydroplaning opportunities.
This is our temporary home, it's not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through
This is just a stop on the way to where we're goin'
I'm not afraid because I know
This is our temporary home...

Pride of ownership is busting at the seams along Hwy 1 in downtown Point Areana, California...
