Katarina lounges in the rule of thirds. As usual I cropped this photo into the 4:5 aspect ratio and lamented the fact that my camera does not default to this shape, especially for vertical compositions. My rant is over!
Our lilac is blooming for the third time this year (first bloom in May, second bloom in July).

Still have our milk delivered and the diversity of bottles all very obvious here.
Just a bit of fun!

One of those moments when you stop thinking about whether you are in the best place and just shoot......one not to be forgotten!.......and one light range far beyond that of a camera.

The island of Evia lies along the Eastern coast of Central Greece, and is accessible to the mainland via two bridges, an old wooden bridge and a contemporary suspension bridge. There are also frequent ferries to several parts of the island. It is 175 km long and is the second largest island in Greece, and the third largest in the Eastern Mediterranean.

For the third time that week, AMTK 108 is leading a requalification run for the Adirondack, which has still not resumed service after covid disruptions (news articles are mentioning a resumption of service in the spring). Here it is backing up towards Central Station, with the right of way for the REM light rail line above at left.
First time the cloud came into play, second got blocked by a Brighton bound unit so this was my third attempt to get a 313 unit leaving. Here sees 313203 leaving Lewes with the 2C26 1141 Brighton - Seaford. Oh and the Brighton bound unit passed about a half a minute later so it was close 11/6/22.
For the third Sunday in a row, 20227 Sherlock Holmes and 20189 are being used on The Shakespeare Express, seen here arriving at Birmingham Snow Hill with 5T50 from Tyseley Standard Gauge Steam Trust.
I’m guilty, baby
I’m guilty, baby
If having a bleeding heart is a crime
If loving you means I’m serving life
I’m guilty, baby
How bad I need you
Ain’t enough words to say
Is it really over or just on a different page
I’m guilty, baby
I’m guilty, baby
If having a bleeding heart is a crime
If loving you means I’m serving life
I’m guilty, baby.
I've now had my tripod in this exact same spot on at least four occasions in the last two months... each time desperately hoping to get the shot that I had pre-visualised... but had not yet captured!
But... if I've attempted to shoot from this exact same spot four times already... then you might now be asking... why is the title of this post "Third Time Lucky"?
Well... because this is yesterday evening's shot... hah hah... nothing that I shot there at sunset today came close to what I managed to capture in this image.
The more you practice... the luckier you get!! :)
Nikon D800, Nikkor 14 - 24 mm at 20 mm, ISO of 100, aperture of f/11 with a 0.8th of a second exposure.
The light was really bad when I found this composition a few weeks ago, so I didn't shoot anything worth keeping. I revisited my comp again a week ago when the clouds were looking really promising, but unfortunately they all drifted away well before sunset, so once again the results were mostly bleh!
So I wasn't expecting much when I left home in the rain for another attempt on Saturday afternoon. But the rainclouds were starting to lift towards the West, and I was hoping that they might clear up enough to let some nice light through. Fortunately my hunch paid off big time... I got exactly the kind of light I was hoping for!
This is a three image (landscape-format) panorama (with about 50% overlap between images).

looking from my room, past the other guest room, down to the playroom on the third floor -- india's standing in the doorway, & there's LOTS of sunshine pouring in...
Before the third Queensferry crossing was built.
I spent some time berthed in Rosyth back 2013, a 30sec LE looking back down the Forth towards the then 2 bridges.
Once again the Fast 5 were unsuccessful in their hunting this day. Here one of the 5 gives it another go.

Reflecting water ways, and silhouetted cross bucks fill a third of the photo, an SCFE east side empty cane train filling the other two thirds, gets up to speed with GP11 303. I thought he was heading for Moorehaven but when he turned south instead of north it was a beat feet and speed moment out of town to get a great sunset outside of town. The SCFE has a small number of load outs east of Clewiston compared somewhere around 15-20 loadouts on the USSC, so catching these guys going east took me by surprise but during cane season, the trains almost never stop.
The third train of the morning put on less of a show since it wasn't crusing through at track speed over the century mark. Wickford Junction bound Keolis/MBTA train 809 is slowing for their station stop as they approach MP 197 on Track 3 of Amtrak's New Haven Line behind utilitarian MPI HSP46 2011.
At the right center edge in the background, partially obscured by the catenary poles and signal for BORO interlocking, is the old wooden tower that was known as SS165 in NH days. Allegedly constructed in 1898, it was relocated here when the NH undertook their massive grade separation project through town and built their two new stations between 1903 and 1906.
This tower also holds the distinction of being the last in service on the corridor in MA, not closing down until 1993. Amazingly it survives a quarter century later despite regular reports of its imminent demise.
At left stands the brick Second Congregational Church that was constructed in 1904 on Park Street looking over this scene. The congregation dates from 1748 and is a daughter church of the First Congregational Church in the old town section of North Attleborough. This is actually the third structure in which congregants have gathered. Originally located in a meeting house on what is now the common, Second Congregational had a stately white clapboard building built in 1825 which was removed in the early 1950s to make way for the addition of a new Fellowship Hall and education rooms. The clock in the tower of this third building was owned originally by the city but now belongs to the church and surprisingly seems to be keeping perfect time.
