It's May 28, 1978 and we're in Pickering Ontario where we see morning turbo from Montreal westbound into the Toronto area. (This is a going away shot.) Good times back then when 10 or 12 fans from Cleveland would spend Memorial and Labor Day weekends in Toronto. It was fun to sit in the bubble and watch the big speedometer approach 100 mph. Sadly none of the UA Turbos were preserved.
This one was taken in my front yard. When I saw this image, I couldn't believe, that even with the fast action of the wings, its head still stayed nicely focused....
Thank you for visiting my stream, your nice comments, and invitations. I really appreciate it.
Have a wonderful weekend everybody:)

The majority of the time, great grey owls do a quick dive down from a perch to attack its prey. In this case, the owl launched from a birch snag and went on a long, shallow descent, gliding a fair distance to head to a spot it thought there was rodent activity. No luck, this time.
Note the wing angle (slightly down at the back) and the tail feathers fully deployed to help slow decent. The overall body angle and attitude reminded me of those people they use flying suits to glide from cliff tops, hopefully down safely to the ground (images.app.goo.gl/Rn1vFJ1cXKD4MXwS6).
Regrettably, I don't think Adobe Photoshop provides for any easy creation of an image like this.
Despite being a super powerful image editing program, I don't understand why Photoshop does not include easy to implement effects like Google Niks, Topaz, or Corel. Adobe Photoshop's "Filter Gallery" is a klunky dinosaur by comparison to other effects software.
This image was created from an original photograph, simply and easily processed in Corel PaintShop Pro.
The last remaining French RTG "Turboliner", one of the first pieces of new equipment purchased by Amtrak, sits forlorn and derelict in a southern Indiana scrap yard.

Looking across Annesville bay at Peekskill, NY, an Amtrak Rohr Turburliner heads for Grand Central. This view can be had from the bay parking area which has since become a paddle sports launch.

Turbo isn't as forthright about pats as his brother, Slim, but he still likes them very much. He'll wait patiently while I click away, knowing that pats will eventually come his way. The goats at Wright-Locke Farm don't have a brush near their enclosure, so I just ordered a cheap variety of them. The goats will be delighted.
I present a crop shot from the modern day darkroom. A prelude to yesterday's posting as stated in the caption, our D&H/Canadian Pacific train #556 had met Amtrak's "Adirondack" at Ballston Spa, NY. I'm pretty sure there wasn't too many meets between MLW's and Rorh Turboliners even though they did go into Montreal on a daily basis. Something to think about. Did these "Bigs" live a longer life than the the Turbos??
