So much going on, from China's new AI technology package to our unseasonal weather change everywhere!
Here are two new visitors and a Gold Finch, sharing...They are Purple Finches that add a pretty new shade of colour!
Also 'Head's up" as I will be having surgery tomorrow and won't be posting much for a while...I will look at your posts and comment as I can, because they are too good to miss! :-)
Now, something to think about...
Why didn't the sun go to college?
Because he already has a million degrees!
Take care, everyone!

Union Pacific stacks are seen on the CCP from the shoulder of I-80. Eastbound UP detours on the former IC line between Council Bluffs and Arion were common when UP was rebuilding the second main track between Mo Valley and West Denison.

Going back and re-editing some older photos tonight found this gem from the spring of 2015. In what was a short lived rebirth of older UP power brought out of storage, the last thing I expected to see on the CP was a rebuilt UP SD90MAC. None the less one eventually found its way on the point of an eastbound oil train seen here passing the searchlight signals just south of the Milwaukee depot. As per normal for me at this age, the remainder of the train was well hidden

Looking up at Aragon Tower in the late afternoon, the green and golden tones of it frontage seem to have a warm glow to them.
Until this day, I hadn't shot any of UP's new repaint with the god-awful flag on the nose. I ended up getting two on lead while out for Rio Grande. Here's the COKBT 13 just West of Kennard.
Quite a different kind of Faerie King :D
More fun with retro flexi dresses and BOM, along with a new anim from Poseidon.

word soon gets around as to where the next wave is landing! We rarely see surfers on Dollar cove at Gunwalloe but this day it was the chosen spot for a few surfers. I expect the surf is well up in many parts around the UK with the storm thats blowing across the country right now. I hope you all survive unscathed, Alan:-) have a great W/end too………

New Forest Pony.
Stopped to take a photograph and he came across quickly put his head in the window of the car.
I kno w you aren't allowed to feed them but was taken a back when he came so close.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR FAVS AND KIND COMMENTS, THEY ARE MUCH APPRECIATED.
Three big UP motors get an outbound shuttle train moving. This is an NCRC train and crew and they would pick up 65 loads from Shelby.
five CP/UP locomotives take an empty potash train north across the Snake River on Joso Bridge - 9/27/20
The last light of the day glints off the nose of UP 8108 (ES44AC ) as the Wasatch Mountains turn pink.
A westbound UP automotive train overtakes a westbound intermodal train at Dragoon, AZ on March 28, 2018. Except for a short morning around Shawmut in 2007, this was my first time to shoot the Sunset Route. I wasn't disappointed and it can be safely said that I have been bitten by the bug.
A trip to Bristol in the early 70s was never considered complete without a visit to Marsh Junction, a shortish hike from Temple Meads station where those bothered enough to do it were generally rewarded with the sight of withdrawn diesel hydraulics awaiting transfer to Swindon Works and the inevitable cutter's torch.
On this visit there were eight Hymeks present (7074, 7068, 7055, 7093, 7076, 7096, 7023, and 7009) and I'm guessing the two snapped here, 7093 and 7055, were outliers positioned best for a snap, hence the image. Either way they certainly made the walk worthwhile.
Apologies for the state of the image but it was taken with an old folding camera, an Agfa Billy Zero, which I'd scrounged off my Dad to replace the Instamatic. It wasn't the best lens in the world, and there was a bit of light leakage, but it was a considerable step up from the Instamatic and proved a more than useful tool for learning the basics.
Taken on 127 Kodak colour film.

Greater Roadrunners often “sunbathe” to warm up after a cool night. With its back to the sun, the bird raises the feathers across its back and wings to allow the sun to penetrate to its skin. In winter, birds may sunbathe several times a day. This one was sunbathing near the road in Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, Texas.
This post starts a series of images of birds of south Texas.
"how's life up there?" asked he
and she answered hastily
in the desperate attempt to unbosom her heart
"it's my last shot" said she
and spewed it out so quickly
so as not to miss this last
twinkling of insanity

'New image' UP 6533 leads a pair of CalTrains electric 'commute' train-sets over the east switch at Scotts. The old Western Pacific Fifth Subdivision leaves the deserts of Northern Nevada behind once it crosses into the Golden State as the railroad starts up the Sierra via Beckwourth Pass.

Im Grunde sind es immer
die Verbindungen mit Menschen,
die dem Leben seinen Wert geben.
Vielen Dank für die Mails zum Geburtstag, die mich schon zu früher Stunde erreicht haben.
Danke
UP 8028 parks on main two and screws me out of any chances of shooting SP 177 and SP 319, both on two different behind this one. UP 8028's reasoning of stopping here is to set out a car here. Taken in Washington, Missouri on Union Pacific's Jeff City Sub.

Many thanks to everyone for your visits, comments and faves! Very much appreciated!
Struggling for time this week grabbed a quick shot whole waiting for Dominos Pizza!!! Got a feeling the predicted bad weather is gonna stop any photography this weekend.
On Sunday afternoon we went hiking at San Francisco's Lands End. We ended up at the Sutro Bath ruins, always a good spot for sunset. We had fun playing with the sun, communicating over distance with hand gestures - no mobile phone reception here.
I processed a photographic and a balanced HDR photo from two RAW exposures, merged them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Going up to the mosque. During this trip, I worked on getting more people shots. Travel photography is more than just landscapes, and architecture, it's about the people, moments and gestures.
