'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.

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.
Beautiful lotus close up. Beautiful light.

Sometimes birds are too far away but this Gannet landed on the cliffs, right in front of me and just a few metres away.

Have a wonderful Monday Y'all..:)
The UP 'rock job' rolls down the Kenosha Sub into the namesake city on a hot summer evening, with an SD40N doing the honours ( albeit long hood forward) with a string of brand new VULX Ortner three-bay open hoppers trailing behind.
Here is my redemption shot from the air of this train as it worked east at Loring. Not too shabby. Wish the background looked better but this is the brown wasteland that we get here in Kansas from November to March.
For Smile on Saturday theme of “Going Up”, a mother and daughter going up the stairs, followed by Luisa.
Andrea Del Pozzo's stupendous late 17thC trompe l'oeil nave ceiling in Sant'Ignazio. Rome. When you stand in the right spot it is literally impossible to tell where the barrel vault actually is.
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.
Taken from our stoep where a family of Kudu visited our waterhole every day.
As you can imagine I had to take quite a few photographs to capture the synchronicity between these two Oxpeckers.

The brick building is the old R. M. Williams building built in 1932. It has been integrated into a mall in the area.
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.

One of the great joys in life for me and my wife is walking the beach. For her, it is finding the perfect shell(s). For me it's all about the birds!
One of my favorites is the brown pelican. If I see one, chances are there will be a few (or more) clicks of the shutter involved. They are very graceful in the air, gliding along singly or in groups. Graceful is not the way I would describe a typical pelican take-off. It's more like lumbering - lots of splashing, wing flapping and I guess running to get their bulk into the air. This one started his run in front of me so I could get various poses as it was getting into the air.
Needless to say, I have LOTS of pelican shots to rummage through. They all make me smile!
Thanks so much for your views, likes and comments - they are greatly appreciated!

What are the chances???
I was taking a whole bunch of photos around the outside of this old menswear manufacturing plant, and I decided to go for a steep angle. I got close to the wall and pointed the wideangle nearly straight up. I could hardly believe what I saw. The wind was carrying off the letters pretty quickly. I started shooting like a madman. This was the one with the least lens flare.
This photoset has note-based navigation
Added to CotC as my most "interesting".
Continued confirmation that I have a "thing " with mixed, light and dark high contrast image taking .
The light through the window blind provided a nice pattern.
I wish it would warm up here ! 😌
Warm morning light covers UP 7019 working at track speed out of the sag between Mohawk and Stoval Az. The sanitization of the Gila Subdivision continues with the loss of H2 Searchlights and now with the removal of the classic code line poles which use to line the right of way on the left side of this image. Progress is not a very photogenic thing.
While waiting for UP 8667, I shot this KCS Gevo leading a manifest at Dow City. I’d end up getting a similar shot of 8667 here, but of course I got cloudfucked
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.

This Red Winged Black Bird was sitting on the seeds and wouldn't let any other birds come near it. As is typical it puffed itself up and it was very effective!
When I first moved here to the Pacific Northwest, I met this old man that would always look up with his hands outstretched. He would say, "Isn't it wonderful". Back then, I didn't really get the message. As I have lived here longer, I have come to appreciate the beauty in the sky, especially the morning and the evenings! :)
In a few days I will be traveling down to Southern Utah and Arizona. I am looking forward to photographing the great Southwest. It will be a very big change from the Pacific Northwest. Can't wait for the challenge! :)
I will be away from flickr for awhile, but I will catch up with your photo streams when I get back. :)
