I captured this while in traffic, on a bridge, through my windshield.
Opportunities can be found everywhere!
Thanks for stopping by
Heading toward the July 4th long holiday weekend in the gardens and the coneflowers are almost ready to pop. :)
UP 3035 leads a westbound manifest train around the curve near MP 59 on the UP Kansas Sub this evening. Another EMD Tier IV leading a train in the humid evening air with the smoke of the wildfires in the west giving the sunset a different glow.
The fortress seen from Isegran.
Fredrikstad Fortress 350 year anniversary.
Year 1658. Denmark-Norway have to give up Bohus fortress to Sweden. Need for permanent border fortifications.
This squirrel was sunning his backside on a maple tree branch. It was about 30 feet up the tree.
Taken through the window of the house.
LNER 43272 pushes set EC64 away from Newcastle working the 1E11 Aberdeen to London KX service, with 43302 up front.
My girlfriend and I went to see the sunrise that morning. Just before we were about to leave, she went to the shore to wash off the sand. I snuck up on her and captured a few shots
With its work on the Mina Branch done, the Wabuska turn is on its way back to Sparks behind geeps 1516 (originally SCL GP40 1575, later rebuilt by MK as SP 7138) and 1068 (ex-SSW 9669).

Looking up at bare trees against a blue sky. The fact that these trees are still so bare demonstrate just how late Spring is this year.
If one can't find anything interesting to photograph directly infront of them, changing POV and looking up will often provide a solution!
Made a quick trip to Grand Teton National Park, but allowed some train time to and from. First one I photographed was this manifest in the Portneuf River canyon east of Inkom, ID. I love this shot, and it may be my favorite from the trip, even with the amazing views at GTNP.
We caught up with the 29G we saw at Salem earlier for this seen in the middle of Christiansburg Grade. Still gloomy, but the fog on the hills added some ambience.
UP 8091 (C45AH...I think) brings two visitors to town in the form of CSX 748 & 522.
This eastbound City of Industry to Global1 (ZCIG1) is about to stop in Salt Lake City's North Yard for a crew change.
These blue flowers were the hot-spot for several Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at Brookside Gardens. It was fascinating to watch several of them work the flowers over time, occasionally flying off in pairs as they "fought" over territory, and resting on the nearby branches from their exhausting flights. This female checks this flower for nectar as both benefit from the interaction, she gets the nectar and the flower gets pollinated.
Taken 6 August 2016 at Brookside Gardens in Montgomery County, Maryland.
I call this " Up The Track" because from where we are staying in the United Campgrounds in Durango, Colorado, this is just up the track from our sight.
You just have to wait for the last train of the evening, spray plenty of bug spray and walk up the track on the Animas River to see this gorgeous reflection.
On one of its first runs, Union Pacific's then new Laramie turn-around local (nicknamed the Laramie Laser by its crew) digs into the grade as it climbs the Harriman Line at Speer, WY led by a trio of North Little Rock rebuilds. Unfortunately, like the laser itself, the solid sets of SD40s were short lived. Speer is also the Junction with the mainline to Denver with the west leg of the Greeley Sub connector in the foreground. In the distance Local 60 can be seen on the east leg, awaiting its turn in Cheyenne.
Recently the old steam era water tank here was razed after many decades of quietly observing the passage of trains at this busy location.

As you drive towards Portland, you will end up in a parking lot quite close to the lighthouse and beyond which you will not be able to proceed...Portland Bill Lighthouse is one of the most beautiful lighthouse locations I have ever been to...I have always dreamed of going well into the ocean and framing the lighthouse with the adjacent rocks and water. This is one place that offers this unique vantage point.
Although I had shot this almost a year ago, I somehow had overlooked one of the best places I had been during my trip to the Jurassic Coast. I can still feel the bitter cold that was that morning. The hues in the sky were just there for a brief moment after which the sun came out fully well and eclipsed the colors that were there on display.
Have a nice day everyone!
With the Loadmaster keeping an eye out of the forward door, Royal Air Force Boeing Chinook HC.6A ZA704 makes a low approach up the River Adur towards Shoreham Airport
Using call-sign 'SHF454' she made a very low pass across the field before disappearing up-country

Aprovechando que iba a desaparecer mi corte de peluquería (ya sabéis que no queda igual una vez te lo lavas xDDD) Gabriel me hizo una sesión de fotos a lo pin up de los años 50-60 con ropa cebril y pintalabios rojo :)
Tenía unas ganas enormes de hacerme fotos en este plan, lástima que no tuviéramos mucho tiempo porque nos íbamos a casa de Fide luego :P
Desde luego, Gabriel sí que sabe nutrir mis múltiples fetichismos con su pedazo cámara (y su enormísimo talento *^^*).
UP Troy Grove job heading south past the NB distant approach signal for the BN Aurora Sub diamond. The train is about to pass through the tiny little town of Shabbona Grove, IL, on a day where the temps struggled to get to 5 degrees.
Three rebuilt UP geeps have train LTC 17 southbound on the Albert Lea Sub. I'm a sucker for mini wings on UP standard cabs.
The power for UP GEIIRB 12 spins around the wye at Poplar Street to change leaders before heading south to pickup a train of empties.

'We will deliver...'
A trio of EMDs, led by SD9043MAC 8028, sail off Ansel Hill and towards the floor of the Antelope Valley, an extra auto tied to the drawbar.

So I don't bore you with another UP roster shot, here is GP40X 95 (soon to be renumbered 959) with some other power on the Council Bluffs service track. The MKT power is off of a haulage grain train. And there is a GP30 in the image, so happy Thirty Thursday to you.

Beautiful lotus close up. Beautiful light.
