An eastern Sierra Nevada aspen grove with first signs of autumn color.
One of the risks of starting my annual Eastern Sierra fall aspen color hunt a bit early is that I just might arrive too early for the color! That was mostly the case this year, when I made my first aspen-focused trip right at the beginning of October. The timing of the color transition can vary a bit from year to year, but I usually bet on the start of widespread color coming near the end of the first week of the month. Last year it came earlier — I photographed large groves of small trees at a location near the Sierra near the end of September, and I found good color close to the start of the month. That experience led me to start early this year.
There was some color when I arrived on October 2, but it was not widespread. Some of the higher elevation "scrub aspen" growing on rocky soil were changing to yellow, but most of the larger trees were still green. There were a few notable exceptions where groves had changed. More common were sights like this one — mostly green trees, leaning toward the lighter "lime green" color that comes before the transition, plus a few actual yellow leaves. This particular grove presented me with a special lighting situation. The trees were in the shaded bottom of a deep canyon, but across the canyon and beyond my camera position there was a large open slope that lay in direct sunlight. This rocky terrain reflected the warmer-colored light directly into the grove, giving a bit more light to the trees along its edge.

Timing can mean everything when it comes to taking an image. A blink, a glance, a change of direction..... it all happens at a critical time.
Sometimes we press the shutter at that precise time - here's an example of that - hope you like it!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - all much appreciated!
Wishing you a fantastic day and week!
The weather forecast can go wrong many times in mountain. It's one of the times that could make a good deal with.
This is Inde showing off his Jurassic Park The Lost World Glow In The Dark (yeah, you heard me, GLOW IN THE DARK) digital watch. Portable time. It's so portable that right after this photo was taken, he took off like a bat out of a hot place under your feet and it took me over 20 minutes to catch up to him and the watch.
I was going to take a photo of the dogs water dish because apparently IT'S portable also

Never been to a Cricket match before, Don't understand it but by the reaction of the crowd... this is a very good thing for 1 Team and very bad for the other...lol
Another week, another visit to Leeds for some attention to my hard-worked car. Last Wednesday, it was an interim service and the MOT, this Thursday a timing belt replacement. This week, however, the work was done in time to race over to Hunslet from Wortley to catch Maritime-liveried 'Shed' 66 727 'Maritime One' approaching the Pepper Road overbridge with 6D28, the 08.30 Rylstone-Dewsbury laden limestone hoppers. Sun came out in the nick of time, too! Despite being midweek, there's no shortage of idle motive power on the Midland Road depot. According to the nonsensical PR blurb, Maritime is one of the UK's leading networked transport operators and offers low cost, environmentally friendly logistics. @11.20
just a figure of speech
whilst others were busy shooting other birds, I was privileged to have spent quality time with this beauty, up close.
Nice one. I think my youngest took this shit. This is the beauty of film. It is what it is, I moved and have my eyes shut. Could have been perfect, because Sietske is all sharp. This is life. I love this.

Standing at the side of old US-90, leaning against my ride, watching the sun fade out. Best time of day. From the northwest, headlights. A celebration of turbocharged internal combustion inhaling West Texas asphalt at 80+mph...Showtime! Prefocus. Wait...wait...CLICK!
...it really is everything. I'll explain. It's almost impossible to tell here, but that's Nickel Plate 765 crossing the Cal-Sag Channel bridge in Blue Island, Illinois. My grand plan for the last run of Nickel Plate 765 on the Rock Island District of the weekend- the deadhead move to the 47th Street shops- was to show up at Western Avenue right after sunset and grab a twilight view of the steamer emerging from the Cal-Sag bridge. The railroad being the railroad though, delays cropped up, meaning it was awfully dark by the time 765 showed up here. Okay, no biggie, I'll get artsy and try a 1/20th or so long-exposure, giving what I hoped would be a dramatic blur of smoke pierced by the twin headlight beams. Well, the crew had the throttle to the ceiling, going through here and across Vermont Street faster than anything I'd ever seen in Blue Island. So on the next click of the shutter, that dramatic blur was halfway under the Western Avenue bridge, and the whole scene was out of focus.
So this is the shot you get. I wish I had recorded some video, as it truly was a spectacular sight.

Thanks to JQ and MM, I knew that NS 8098 (Conrail Heritage Unit) was leading train 112 westbound from Louisville to St. Louis. Originally estimated into the Lou for 0715, I had hoped they would fall down. After checking my work schedule, I learned I had a meeting at 0900! Then I hoped the train wouldn't fall down too much...
Listening to the feed while getting ready for work found the Southern West District was really busy around 0700. 239 was holding the main at New Baden. 168 was coming west behind 239. 167 was heading east to clear up at New Baden. 112 was getting permission from the CN at Centralia and D76 wanted to enter Centralia Yard Limits and also head west. Whew!
112 took a short delay from the BNSF at Centralia so I figured my only hope was for 167 to meet the first two at New Baden then run east to Shattuc for 112 and D76. That was not to be as 112 got a warrant west to catch up to 239 and 168.
I went to work continuing to listen to the feed and anxiously listening for 112 to call signals. Eventually, 0830 rolled around and I left the warehouse to spend 15 minutes trackside. Luckily, everything kept moving and by 0845 I heard 112 call "Clear MP 19". Within a quick moment, the 8098 popped around the corner and under the former L&N (now Metrolink) and passed the platform for the long gone Southern depot in Belleville. 112 was clearly forwarding some power west but Big Blue certainly stood out from the 8 normally dressed sisters.
Got the shot and back to work in time for the 0900 meeting!

Again timing was amazing as we only waited about 5 min before the change of position
There is now 4 eggs
the original looks more white then the other 3 since we looked on Day 3
Sometimes, we feel like everything is going wrong, like the entire world is upside-down.. that's when we need more optimism!
When things go wrong we must insist the most!

After seeing the sunrise at Maebongsan mountain park, I looked around Namsan mountain where one of Seoul's landmark, and rooftop park in downtown.

my timing was off this afternoon, we had sunshine, but I managed to get caught in a Hailstone Shower and Gales ... it was horrid ;(
I finally got a shot that I have wanted to get for a long time. One on the list you can say. The difficulty has always been that if you are a very early morning commuter you know that a 5-10 minute delay could really mean 30 plus minutes of congestion later along with finding safe parking around train tracks. This morning I lucked out. The sunrise was coming up, the light was on the rails and I had a camera with me, well an iPad. I still envision getting this shot differently but for now I'm happy that I still can chase that light.
