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.
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!
The Meyerson Symphony Center, KPMG Plaza at HALL Arts and the Dallas Arts Tower (formerly Chase Tower) are just a few of the structures in the Dallas Arts District.
Still have our milk delivered and the diversity of bottles all very obvious here.
Just a bit of fun!

A northbound Illinois Central grain train has just departed from Champaign minutes before and is getting up to track speed here at Leverett. Leading the way is IC 6250, a unit usually stuck between Cairo and Centralia in local service. The train is bound for Gilman and would arrive within two hours.
About ten minutes before the 6250 departed, IC 1019 led northbound out of Champaign on A407. The 6250 made for my third IC leader of the day.

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.
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.
This is a hill near my house... when I was little, this hill had a bump about a third of the way down the slope. Every time my mom would load the car up with kids to drive us to the pool, in the summertime, she would go down this hill, and when the car would go over that smooth bump and then whoosh on down the hill, it would give us a little "roller coaster" feeling, which we called a "whoopsie!".
In later years they removed the bump in the hill, because kids were making their cars take flight by speeding over the bump... and wrecking their cars, and getting hurt. So, no more "whoopsie"!
I have always thought it was a beautiful spot. The park is on one side, and some farms which never gave way to the encroaching city are on the other side. Thus, the wooden fence.
So, Happy Fenced Friday, everyone!

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.
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!

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!! :)

Bosa is a town and comune in the province of Oristano (until May 2005 it was in the province of Nuoro), part of the Sardinia region of Italy. Bosa is situated about two-thirds of the way up the west coast of Sardinia, on a small hill, about 3 kilometres (2 miles) inland on the north bank of the Temo River. The town has maintained a population of around 8,000 people for a significant amount of time, but has an urban character that has differentiated it from other locations in Sardinia. Agriculture and fishing play an important part in the city economy, thanks to the river valley near the coast surrounded by hills and highland plateaus.
Rule of thirds: even at this date, there is skepticism over the universality of such a rule, at least in regards to color and perspective.

The third largest lake in Sweden (1 140km2), Mälaren stretches from west to east over 150km as far as Stockholm, where it flows into the Baltic. It is made up of a multitude of meandering arms separated by islands and peninsulas.

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.
