Like a mini vacation, three day weekends are a welcome respite from a busy work schedule. On this occasion, it was the Family Day Statutory Holiday that gave most people a break and a few took advantage of free fishing to enjoy the perfext timing of a sunny day.

You may be the best photographer in the world, but sometimes all it takes for the best shot is being in the right place at the right time!
It doesn’t even matter if you take it with your mobile phone or high-end DSLR.
Have a wonderful Sat/Sun!
Nice to be back, had a virus and was unwell for a few days!
We Turks have been unhappy for quite some time now, despite the beautiful scenery. Because we live in a country without justice. And justice, more often than not, brings more peace than the view ever could.

Timing is everything…

CP 6018 leads CP 244 by Orrs Lake amid a pocket of sunlight.
I literally came to a stop as the train got to this spot. I had enough time to hop out and quickly compose the shot, no setting check or anything.
There were far bigger waves and earlier timing on them but I loved each wave in the later stages as the lighthouse just "smoked". It has been an unusual series of easterly winds.
Sometimes on the Ferry ride home, we are fortunate to time it with the sunset. This night was no exception in terms of color and vibrance. The sky was lit with various warm colors and the distant mountains delivered wonderful shapes and silhouettes.
In order to capture the image without creating a fuzzy one, the ISO, and shutter speed are turned up. One needs to take advantage of whatever one can, in order to deliver something worth keeping.
Timing is everything. I spent Christmas at a friend's farm near Marysville Kansas. I left around 5pm, and I was greeted by this amazing rainbow. I didn't have a wide enough lens on my regular camera, so just used the Iphone. It was the most spectacular rainbow I think I've ever seen.

After 5 years I finally took a moment to clean up and re-edit what is still to this day my favorite image... Not much can really beat the light, timing, and place, for me in this image. A fortunate few moments in the sun...
Thanks for looking!
I was glad I was able to get focused on the female Belted Kingfisher as it flew by the female Common Merganser. Central Bucks, PA.
Fortuitous Timing: I knew there was a NB BNSF approaching Cheyenne as I seen it on my drive up from Colorado Springs. With that being said I figured I had a better than a decent chance to catch an over under shot at the west end of UP’s busy Cheyenne Yard on the busy Overland Route. Once I set up to wait for the BNSF I could see this guy approaching, albeit very slowly, and was hopeful he would make it at least to the underpass. As luck would have it the UP train had pulled through the underpass as the BNSF rolled by overhead. 7.29.16
Neon lights and colourful menus brighten the night at Good Timing Food Village, a lively hub of street food and local flavours.
El ángulo dorado
marca en la piedra sombras
de las horas que aguarda
un antiguo reloj.
Y la cúpula inmóvil
en el jardín se esconde,
callada entre los árboles,
mientras escucha el agua.

Some strange timings can occur with this working and I've stood for a couple of hours only for it to be caped at Carlisle Upperby Bridge Junction having watched proceed that far on the maps. Today, It ran early out of Carlisle, passed me at Yanwath 36 early then sat in the loop at Eden Valley, leaving 3 minute late. This enabled me to relocate to Bessy Gill.
90045 and 90004 pass the gallery of 5 on their way south with the 4M83 Saturdays 10.33 Coatbridge to Crewe Basford Hall. This was a regular 86 working a few years ago too. 16/7/2022

After having luck with the timing of sun and clouds at two prior locations, we weren't sure what to expect at Tobyhanna. Upon arrival it was overcast and snowing. Moments before PO-75 appeared the cloud cover decreased, and the snow tapered off. A few flakes can be seen against the dark background of Tobyhanna station as DL 3007 eases past.

D&SNG 480 drifts around the oft-photographed S-curve above Rockwood.
This location is about a 15-minute hike from Rockwood; I had planned to get there in time to deploy the other camera on the tripod on the left where the other photographer is. Alas, a buckle on my camera bag broke during the hike and so I didn't quite get there in time to do two cameras.
As they say, timing is everything.

Day 2 of 2025 saw sun and clouds. When this train to Gent passed me, I saw mostly clouds. It wasn't as bad as a few hundred meters more towards Lokeren. There, sun and rain added some spectacle to the photo.
Timing is everything, as a few minutes earlier the foreground scene was also lit by the sun. And a few minutes after this shot, I had to run and seek shelter for the rain.
My father and I would often visit the local train yard whenever we were out and about. Our timing was perfect when we arrived in Provo, Utah just in time to see a Union Pacific SDP35 on the turntable the afternoon of Jan. 16, 1977. The 1400 was the class engine, one of 10 built by EMD for UP passenger service in August 1965. All 10 were retired in 1985.
Japanese alpine cherry
This cherry tree grows in alpine region and blooms latest in the season. The blossom season is very short like cherry blossom, so I was hard to see this blossom. But I found this blossom in this trekking!

ミネザクラ。高山帯の桜（低地でも育つそうですが）で最も遅くに咲く桜です。桜らしく花の時期は短いので、なかなかタイミングが合わなかったのですが、今回は見つけることができました。
アートフィルター（ポップアート２）をかけて撮影。彩度高めです。
My heart goes out to the fellow who has just arrived at the fishing pier. The afternoon had been sunny, warm, calm, but just as he set out for some relaxation the winds kicked up out of nowhere and the skies filled with clouds making the temperature drop like a rock. Better luck next time.
Its Spring, so that means air shows on the way. Here's a shot of the amazing Brietling team in Portland last summer.
My favorite train in one of my favorite places - but timing and outside factors needed to line up.
The Empire Builder runs along the former CB&Q mainline towards St. Croix where it will divert off the BNSF St. Paul Subdivision and make a run down the Minnesota side of the Mississippi River. The train lost time in northwestern Montana and was unable to recover, so the lateness sunk, floating just under eight hours. However, that lateness was making it possible for an afternoon shot in the Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific & Natural Area, but that was depending on the will of the dispatcher.
I arrived Grey Cloud Dunes well in advance of the Empire Builder arriving St. Paul Union Depot. In the meantime, I was happy to get some eastbound BNSF intermodal traffic while I waited, additionally watching the clouds come and go and hoping dispatching would route the train on the more scenic BNSF St. Paul Subdivision route winding along the Mississippi River in Cottage Grove, Denmark Township, and briefly in Hastings. At 4:16pm, the Builder departed Union Depot and the hope of seeing it at Grey Cloud was strong. To my surprise, the clouds broke off and the sun proudly shined on my scene - I now just needed the train! Nerves built around the prospect of getting 'the shot,' fingers crossed, but there was still a 50 percent chance the dispatcher would send the Empire Builder straight through Cottage Grove along US 10/61 and avoid Grey Cloud Dunes altogether. My nervousness turned to delight when the distant rumble of eastbound traffic became evident. I should note, too, that I had no idea what power combination would lead this particular run of the Empire Builder. I was just hoping to see it in any form. I was surprised to see this unique pairing of 203 and 301 through the lens as it passed into my scene.
Glorious!
Doug Harrop Photography • Oct. 18, 1976
Doug and his trusty camera were in the Tehachapi Mountains when he composed this spellbinding photograph of two eastbound trains. Southern Pacific 8953 East emerges from a side track, sanders fully engaged, as SP 8652 East waits on the main line at Rowan, California on Oct. 18, 1976.
As is often the case, timing is everything.
Can't believe I caught this. I had the camera on a tripod with a two second shutter delay when I spotted this tinny screaming towards me. No time to change settings so I just took a guess and actually nailed it. It was great and I'm not complaining, but that was a bit of luck I was hoping to put towards a Lotto ticket... bugger.
On a windy bluff in my city is an area where Pasque Flowers bloom annually, an almost hidden area not many know about....and yet, every time I go there is always at least one person looking for them too:)
I was afraid I waited too long this year to visit but clearly I was on time...
Often known as an Easter flower due to its timing but in our climate it rarely blooms that early.
Happy late midweek, flickr friends...thanks for your visit....Pat...xo
