At first glance it appears that 6A60, the 08:32 Whatley - Oxford Banbury Road might be composed of both box wagons and hoppers behind 66541. In actual fact, the hoppers belong to 6C42, the 09:00 Theale - East Usk Yard empties hauled by 66604 (which can be seen to the left of the tree on the left side of the frame.
Taken at Uffington, the 2 trains have just crossed and 6C42 has only just cleared in time
I wasn't trying to get a butt shot. Just a nice group shot. But the dove had other ideas. Just as I pressed the shutter, the dove did this.
White Wing Dove (Zenaida asiatica)
Female Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus)

Single shot astro landscapes can require tricky timing, like catching the only passing vehicle at night while using a self timer, during the changing light of astronomical twilight! Tamron lens, processed in Lightroom with daylight white balance.
A rainbow stretching across the Burg as if Brugge had decided to put on a small private performance just for us. Wet cobbles catch the light; Gothic stone glows against a darkened sky. One of those fleeting alignments where weather, architecture, and timing fall perfectly into place.
We find ourselves here twice a year, and it never feels routine. More like returning to see a familiar friend who somehow always manages to surprise you. Brugge has a way of doing that.
... and I just missed it.
For this weeks challenge, I have used 4 subjects that have previously been seen in other Flickr Friday challenges.. The reflected ceiling, the carpet, the camera and the clock... and rather than hide the camera and tripod... lets make it part of the image... it is after all 5 o'clock and I have other things to do...
This time I didn't miss the shot... I just had to wait for the wave to fill the empty space in the low part of the image. BTW, this was the only wave :)
Nikon D7100 _70-200mm f/4_
Trying to take an image of the acorn cap and a chickadee landed on it.....twist of the camera and I got a cool image.
Is timing everything or are some things timeless?
Hello there. Relevant comments welcome but please do NOT post any link(s). All my images are my own original work.
The timing is right on par with my previous records: March 13, 2015, March 10, 2016, March 11, 2016 (which included 1 Whooping Crane), March 9, 2017, March 13, 2021, and today March 10, 2022. I was able to differentiate the groups by numbers and the time as they passed overhead. Total time observed was 2 hours and 15 minutes. (Orland Park, Cook County, Illinois USA) *Group 13
The sky was a pale, blue gray all day, as the Sandhill Cranes flew overhead at thousands of feet in the air. Viewers of this series may wonder, "Why so many shots of the silhouettes of cranes?" The answer to me is in the spectacle to behold, the balletic movements as they fly, everchanging patterns, and a symphony of sound!

I waited pretty well all year to get this shot, at this time of the year the sun is at its most southerly point (when rising off the eastern horizon) and it just lines up with this channel at Little Bay NSW.
I dont know what equipment he used but Im sure he got some great shots.
The Antelope Island State Park close to Salt Lake City is a great location especially during sunset as you can see. The bad thing is the park closes at sunset which means there is only a few minutes window to get some pictures.
Timing is everything, a split second later and I would have missed the water droplet falling from this loon's beak. That's why we've got high speed shooting now I guess, so we don't miss the slightest detail.

Two times a year, sun lines up for this reflection on the windows of the club house. With the low clouds and clear horizon, this makes for a nice composition...
Settings: Æ’/16.0 62.0 mm 1/13 ISO 400

A colourful building in Montreal that I stumbled upon recently. It is the new Convention Centre. At a certain time in the afternoon, if the light is just right, the colour from the windows is reflected onto the street.

Slice Of Heaven || Stockholm Tunnelbana Adventures
While in Stockholm I spent 4 out of 5 nights underground in the Tunnelbana (T Bana) System. Why the heck would I do that, you ask? Well, the simple answer is insanity, but the longer explanation would include that, for some reason, I’m fascinated by elaborate subway and train stations so I’ve been shooting them all over the world. And in my (moderately insane) opinion, Stockholm holds some of the coolest subway stations on the planet.
In T Bana Vreten there are a few dozen sky cubes sticking out of the walls, floor, and ceiling. Since nearly all of the blue metro line is deep underground, it’s quite a juxtaposed effect in an otherwise claustrophobic and monochrome environment.
One of my favorite things about this type of photography is the strange looks you get from people, especially after midnight. It always makes me smile when I see someone making a "WTF is he taking a picture of?!" face. Or my personal favorite, why is that strange man laying on his belly and humming the tune from Batman?!" face.
My wife and I spent a few hours in Vreten Station not only considering different compositions and angles but also waiting for 2 trains to zoom by in frame. Since the trains arrived in 12 minute offset cycles, finding the right timing required quite a bit of patience. So as the clock ticked past midnight and delirium set in, what did we do to pass the time?... WE DANCED!
Obviously I wasn’t kidding about the insanity thing. ;)

Well away from its normal morning timing, here 60010 passes Miskin in the Vale of Glamorgan with 6B13 10:05 Robeston Sidings to Westerleigh Murco. Some recent bankside vegetation clearance has finally opened up this view once again.
Many of my trips to the former Boston & Maine’s East Deerfield Yard in west-central Massachusetts were not without a stop at my other favorite spot of Millers Falls. Here the north-south Central Vermont Railway and the east-west B&M would meet and the tracks of both railroads ran side-by-side for a bit. The CV southbound job to Palmer crosses the Millers River and I somehow snapped the shutter right before shadow engulfed the lead engine.
Just as Doc was exiting our tiny grocery store in Glennallen - 5 big tour buses pulled in dumping out well over two hundred troops. They all made a wild dash for the doors, and at times were bottle necked. I don't see how our store could possibly have met the needs of all those hungry young people. It's a good thing Doc and I got there before they did.
