"Macro Mondays".. "Chain". This chain & sprocket are unused and date back to the 1960s. I had to open two BMC "British Motor Corporation" parts packets to photograph these items. The oily appearance is the original anti-corrosion preservative.
Funny how timing works. We'd just been chasing the NS D41 from Mansfield to Bement and rolling along the Lafayette towards home when suddenly, boom! ATCS notification - green signal at Gibson City. Right, now for a race... that we are very out of position for.
I'll save you the long of it - we did not make it to Osman nor Goembel. The elevation changes in rural Illinois are greater than you'd think, to the point that NS D36s headlight was visible in the Osman community itself as we took the turn down the road through Blue Ridge. So, no signal photo.
Previously, I'd passed on shooting Blue Ridge because of all the guy wires in the way. This time, I finally settled for trying it for once. In all honesty, it wasn't bad at all. Anyways, I'm not too broken up over it - it was just another god damn SD60E. 7014 and 6975 are the dynamic duo who will not leave. Please go.
NS 7014 & NS 3266 take D36 through Blue Ridge, IL, passing the long-abandoned elevator and derelict telegraph lines.
Of course there is room for improvement in everything but I like how this photo looks a lot. Timing is important ! Have a great Monday :) and thank you for your visit :))))
I am so happy to be back on Flicker and participating in "117 Pictures in 2017". This image is for #20 Timing is Everything. Happy New Year!!!

HBW!
Armstrong Collective's Canyon Spirit luxury cruise train toured the former D&RGW route through Spanish Fork Canyon the morning of October 2, 2026. The timing was perfect to capture a group of trackside oak brush along Soldier Creek in peak color.
Last one from this night. A couple of old school faces shine in a new school look. The URHS did a wonderful job this weekend dealing with awful weather and timing. Evening event coordination and lighting by Michael T. Burkhart, additional lighting by me.
UP 1989 leads train ORPRN-12 south on the Milwaukee Subdivision at control point Valley past CNW signals.
By about 0640 hrs I was near Union Jct and watching a Northtown departure disappear off West Hump's board while getting lined up on East Hump's board down the St. Paul Sub. The tracks were heavily shadowed along the transitway at the time, but conveniently, a sliver of light was present at Union Jct--even lighting the station sign. The only thing left to do was to time in the lead locomotive for the fraction of a second it was fully lit and get the shot.
Featuring some of my favorite lighting I’ve had at the canal for a while, the Hon. James L. Oberstar of the Interlake Steamship Company ventures under the famous Duluth lift bridge while the tour boat Vista Star gets nice and close for passengers to admire the big freighter. For as much as I would have preferred for the Star to be just a little farther back, I can’t fault her Captain for giving his guests a view I’m sure none of them will forget.
Ok, so it was a complete fluke ;)
Found this while running through the few gig of eclipse photos I took last week. Very proud of the result, even if it was completely unintended!

Large waves formed by Storm Kathleen hitting the sea wall at the entrance to St Mary's Harbour. Making it on or off the quay without getting soaked is all about timing!
FYI: this is NOT a Photoshop collage! It's straight out of the camera with the exception of a few minor blemish touch ups. Happy Cliche Saturday!
Thank you FG for your remote flash trigger and expertise. I couldn't have done it without you.
God has perfect timing; never early, never late. It takes a little patience and a lot of faith, but it's always worth the wait.
This a perfect for me right now as I wait to sell my last piece of camera equipment so I can buy the latest Canon PowerShot GlXMarklll !! It will be perfect for me with my weakening eyes and painful shoulder!!
autumn has finally come bringing colors and pumpkins and lots of fun
soon it will be a time for joyful celebrations across all the nations
the great divides of oceans and lands
made smaller by people reaching hands
bring the small up with the tall
make the tall stoop low to help us all.
fairy tales of santa and elves
can hopefully empty the shelves
of toys for girls and boys
one thing for sure with Covid near
the fear
the pushy
the demanding pleas
will be silenced for a while
the trial
of Truth always wins
it's about Love above all
not the small
human men
but the heavenly amen
of angels on high.

I had no idea that fall happens in Sedona! Lucky timing to be sure. I loved trying to get the buttes to just peak between the fall foliage where I could find it. Neat!

Yes, I am a tourist. But I found out how much I needed to be. I needed to get out of the same old same old and just SEE something new. 6 days of not just "going through the motions" really helped.
Walking around Universal wasn't just fun, it was amazing. A lot of respect goes out to them for the thought, the technology, the money, and everything else that they put into this park. I've never even seen a Harry Potter movie, but it didn't mean I wasn't blown away by this environment.
And I didn't "add a fireball" in post. It's crazy how much heat that thing generates, even standing on the street on a hot day.
For me these are not that common of a species. I usually see no more than a couple at a time, a couple times a year. This morning I found 6 on the Fraser River shooting through a gap in the trees along the shore.
Toothed belts /timing belts are available in different sizes even in loops (which sometimes can be of corrrect length for tinkering).
With perfect timing sunshine, A66 in its classic 1980s V/line paintjob awaits T356 to clear the points at Murchison East. It was here when T356 swapped with the A to lead back to Melbourne.
