Some amazing storm/sunset light cast a crazy yellow glow over the area as UP 8426 shoves on the rear of a tank train through the signals at Flagg.
An eastbound UP manifest rounds the bend in Lenape on a sunny June evening with a trio of Armour Yellows on the point. With a fresh AC4400CW rebuild and shiny GP15-1 trailing, a clapped out Thundercab SD70ACe pissbrick takes the lead as the sun creeps below the trees.

The steeple is on the wonk as the church is listing, the footings are giving way, but the old boys now long dead are propping up the foundations just to spite those that shut the church doors.
Long live their spirit, laughter and merriment.
Couldn't pass up the opportunity for a quick visit trackside to see UP's special "Powered by Our People" on the point of a short passenger train.
The location here is Black Dog, the tracks in the background are now used for storing unneeded NSPX coal gons; until a few years ago Xcel/NSP took coal loads here before the plant was converted to natural gas.
Consist, for those of you into that sort of thing; UP 1111 (Powered by Our People), UPP 207 (power car), UPP 1605 (Powder River), UPP 5779 (Promontory), UPP 413 (Lake Bluff), UPP 203 (Idaho).
Full disclosure, this is a stacked/double-exposed image, one for the train, one for the sky - lighting here, as a line of storms was about to move in, was atrocious.
The train is looping over their DPU's on Tehachapi. My first attempt at trying for a shot at this spot.

The mountain scene was serene until an ape appeared on the top. I quickly took the picture, and he was gone. No one believes me that he was really there, but pictures don't lie - they just show us what we want to see. What do you see? If you want to see an ape up there you will. Easy as that.
Whether one thinks of this guy as ugly or beautiful, I think that he makes an interesting close up subject.

Casting my eye back over photos I never got round to editing I came across this one. I can't wait till my poppies start to flower again this year.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
After several days of being blanketed with thick smoke from the western U.S. wildfires we saw a bit of an improvement yesterday. This young female Belted Kingfisher looks up at the smoky sky, where you could just make out the sun for the first time in a while.
The impact of these large fires on humans is considerable, but it must be absolutely devastating to wildlife. Let's hope for a favourable change in weather to help those trying to cope with these awful fires.
The Martorana Also Co-Cathedral of St. Mary of the Admiral[1] (Italian: Concattedrale Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio) is the seat of the parish of San Nicolò dei Greci (Albanian: Klisha e Shën Kollit së Arbëreshëvet), a Co-cathedral overlooking the Piazza Bellini in Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy.The church is renowned for its spectacular interior, which is dominated by a series of 12th century mosaics executed by Byzantine craftsmen.
The nave dome is occupied by the traditional Greek image of Christ Pantokrator surrounded by the archangels St Michael, St Gabriel, St Raphael and St Uriel.
UP C40-8 #9119 leads an all GE consist including an ex-MOP C36-7 and a C30-7 Westbound at Tobin in the Feather River Canyon in October of 1988.
now is the time to gather up and let your teammates know you are ready to play and spirits area running high for both teams, at this point, just before the game starts (the opening kickoff).
Looking up at a tomo within the Ruakuri Cave. This would be a long fall for someone if they were to stumble across it on the outside.
Near Leadville, Colorado at about 9600' things are finally greening up. The Sawatch Range and Mt Elbert in the background.
CP 2816 leads the 41B through Donehower West on CPKC's River Sub as it passes 246 in the siding at sunset.
Its stopped raining! A flying trip into Bristol late this afternoon to try some architectural shots.
