We were headed home when we noticed this WBD U-NSDTND4-19A got the signal at Western Avenue as we passed by the land of the Burlingtons on the tollway. A short wait later and we lens him framed between bare trees just east of Western Springs, IL. Gotta love the "Conrail Heritage" that was riding second out!
I have been living in Sydney for the past 4 years but I never wanted to take a picture of Opera house in a usual way. We have plenty of them in the internet. But this is something special to me.
Yes, this is a perfect timing for me to be there at this location. On a cloudy day, I thought of taking some Black and White shots. But the Nature has given me a sarcastic smile :)

Dwight stopped by work on Thursday. I guess there has been a problem with someone "sniping" his food that I've been leaving out. I guess we will have to figure out a new system.
But it just so happened that I had received a VERY generous donation of coats, boots, socks, underwear, etc... at work that day. I had just put it away in the anticipation that I would need it easily accessible, and I was right. He couldn't believe his good timing.
Lucked into timing this shot just right to have the gap in the alley filled not only with a person walking, but also a car driving through.

With a bit of patience and timing, the natural world provides some stunning photographic opportunities - like this giraffe perfectly placed against a yellow moon.
The sky was from an actual photo I took last year. But when the Saint walked into the sunlight my picture became even better. However she was gone again when the sun went behind the clouds. Good thing I had had my camera ready. Timing is everything.
Setting up for a shot of the moon and this plane landing at the Van Nuys Airport got in the way. (Looking for more interruptions like this.)
I don't think the timing of this one could be more on point. This is Helgi, our Dungeons and Dragons DM of this gloomy night. We're playing a scenario called Night of the Walking Dead and just as he's masterfully portraying the priest's creepy monologue a lightning strikes in the background. This is my third time playing D&D and I really feel I've missed out not beginning sooner!
Such is the draw of the temples within the Angkor Wat complex that they become overrun at times. Yes, it was great to see such distinctive old ruins that I had read about since a youth but and as can her seen on the left hand image you often have to learn to be patient and share your visit with tourists from all over the world. Go off the beaten track a little and alter your timing and hey presto you can find solitude as seen in the right hand image.
Just as a cloud moves over the sun, X31 leads B75 and B80 through Mywee as they head South to Vic Dock in Melbourne for unloading as 9374 from Tocumwal in Southern NSW.

Yosemite, 2015
My journey to Glacier Point was delayed for a couple hours due to heavy rain in the area but I kept on my way despite the timing. The forecast indicated that the clouds might clear out later that evening and I thought there could be a chance to take advantage of the full moon. Sure enough, just after midnight the full moon started to break through and illuminated the towering Half Dome and the valley below with its silvery glow.
I've mentioned the crowds at the national parks before but one sure way to avoid them is to show up in the middle of the night. You'll have the world all to yourself (except for the three deer and the coyote that ran by me in the darkness - fun!). The park's water falls were miles away yet you could still hear their roar echoing throughout the silent park without the distraction of 100 other nearby conversations. As the night grew later and the clouds continued to scatter Half Dome's white granite frame beautifully reflected the moonlight and it appeared distinct and resolute against the darkness. It is a special spot and Glacier Point remains one of my favorite places in the world.
Despite the tough start to the evening it turned out to be a magical night for making photos.
The station clock at Worcester Shrub Hill reads 11.36 and a bit, and 66550 has already ambled through right time, 11.36 with an engineers train from Malvern Wells to Eastleigh. RTT had it as one minute late, but I'll take the station clock's version, not least so my title is correct! Sunday 26.6.16

The Battery in St. John's, Newfoundland .I went down to the small boat basin specifically to see and photograph the battery in the fog. This photo was taken just after I arrived, about 5 minutes later the fog was so thick I couldn't see the houses. I waited about half an hour but the fog stayed too thick for photographs. I gave up and went home. Later in the evening, there was no fog. As with much of photography timing is important. Please view large for detail
