At first glance I thought it was a junkyard, but upon closer inspection, I don't think there is a vehicle in the lot that I wouldn't want to take out for a spin. Taken at 300mm, so a good ways away (err above).
Thanks for looking!

A shot from me recent trip across the state of Texas. Combine city is similar to the nearby cadillac ranch but with combines instead, a field of 14 planted butt down in the dirt with their "headers" pointed up twords the sky.
Night, near full moon, 180 second exposure, protomachines flashlight set to red, aquamarine and pink.
Click on the image, because it's best BIG on BLACK!!!
UP 3392 east is using track rights on the BNSF Trans-Con, passing the new connection at MilePole 185 in the Spring of 1998. Single boxcar must have been high priority to be on a stack train.
One of the charter participants requested a little black smoke as it was a warm evening, i don't think anyone expected this much or that we would be photting a crab in crimson lake livery in 2016
Originally built as SP 9763 in 1991, this GP60 became UP 2062 in the early 2000's. In late 2018 it got a new coat of paint and a new number, becoming UP 1171.
Here, this well-traveled Geep lays over at the former MKT Eureka Yard in Houston after bringing in a transfer from UP's Englewood Yard.

On or two of you wanted to see a standing up version of this outfit and so it here it is.
It is very nice but my other half did like to point out that my backside is visible when following me upstairs!
Thanks love I won't be wearing these again while you are about or any one else for that matter lol
Behind the scenes. This was the basic set up when I shot Batman & Mr. Freeze: in a fish tank, with one bright light from the back.
I had trouble making up my mind between the color and the black and white version of Ahmed's portrait. Maybe liking both versions isn't such a problem after all. It happens.
Still not the best as I think... neither the eyes.
Need to redo again but I'm happy that I improve my DD face-up skill.
But I need more time.... T.T
Looking up into the central tower at Melbourne Parish Church with the bell ropes hanging down.
St Michael and St Mary's Church, Melbourne is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Melbourne, Derbyshire. The church is medieval and existed when the Domesday Book was compiled in 1086. [Wikipedia].
These 3 photos were taken back in 2013 as an exercise in seeing what apertures would do to macro work with this lens. The succulents bloom each year and can easily reach 24" long. They are like just about every other flower in nature. Each flower, along its stem, matures from the bottom up toward the growing tip. Then they wither. As I have about 20 plants, I relieve each plant of its flower stem when it presents itself lest I am in inundated with these long thin flowering stems everywhere.
3 image HDR. Photomatix used just to create a 32 bit file (no tone mapping), then tone adjustments made in ACR.
A WB freight with a GP50 leading both UP and CR power at Rockyford Rd crossing that I labelled my slides with "Home" as location as I lived right across the parallel ILL Rt. 38.
Overlooking the boats down at Keyhaven this morning which are often lined up in an orderly fashion.
Met up with talented photographer and fellow Westonian, Simon (Rep001) for a sunrise shoot followed by coffee and croissants. Not the most vibrant one but very moody with some interesting light and lots of possibilities.
Thanks Simon for coming over my way so early and sharing some helpful tips it was great to meet you :)

UP 3094 leads a double stack train past the handiwork of the UP earlier this summer when they put about 20+ cars of manifest on the ground here at Loring including 6 haz-mat tankers. We are now a couple months removed from that and the pile of freight cars remains right where the derailment contractor left them.
It's a pity that they didn't wipe out a few more trees here. It would be a pretty neat shot if about 3-4 of the big cottonwoods that are here ceased to exist. As a matter of fact, the whole curve at Krieder is about fully overgrown to the point that it might not be a decent photo spot much longer.
Roxborough St. Pk. With elevations ranging from
5,900 to 7,600 feet, Roxborough’s
landscape beautifully illustrates a
Front Range transition from plains
to mountains. On the west border
of the park, the rugged granite
of Carpenter Peak is flanked by
elegantly layered gneiss. The red
sandstone spires of the Fountain
Formation accent the foothills as
they dip away and into the scrub
oaks. The Roxborough landscape
is characterized by two more
sandstone hogbacks: the Lyons
and the Dakota, before rolling into
prairie grasslands to the east—
encompassing over 1.3 billion years
of geologic time
