My only shot showing the head of this species, Argiope aurantia, the Black & Yellow Garden Spider. The dragonfly prey appears to be hanging precariously. Perhaps one or more of the three tiny Argyrodes kleptoparasites in view had been cutting away at its support? Subsequently the Garden Spider added reinforcement and hauled it up to safety. Maybe some shots of that, eventually.
Happy Arachtober!
Not a perspective I would think of typically for shooting the Milky Way, but I noticed it transiting right between some trees near me on my Jemez Reflections shoot. My lantern makes the impression that the trees are being lit by a campfire.

In late January and early February 1998, EMD and Union Pacific teamed up to test the SD90MAC-H on UP's Bond Subdivision (later Moffat Tunnel Sub). The units and EMD test car are shown westbound at Leyden siding, about 12 miles west of Denver. EMD Demo 8504 eventually went to the UP.
150271 crosses the River Don in the heart of Sheffield and passes some derelict industrial buildings some of which are finding new uses as gyms and meeting halls serving the community.
150271 was working the 1813 from Huddersfield.
This shot is a composite image. I was pushing the limits of low light photography, the two images are separated by only 12 minutes. I have only used the light plume from the street lamps from the second image. This has enabled me to maintain a low grain image with that lighting up feel. The last step was to darken the whole image by 1 stop.
Called rock trains, UP ran these in the 90's from Silver Bow to Great Falls and then to Calgary with phosphate. Some of the best coverage I got of the line up to Great Falls was because of these moves.

Somewhere in Utah
Any normal person would say it’s the middle of nowhere, but to a few of us, it’s definitely somewhere. Only a railfan could make a destination of somewhere completely devoid of people, something I think makes the hobby all the more interesting. Here on the former Rio Grande main, traffic still exists, though not without considerable gaps between trains. With its helpers removed at Colton, UP 3038 and company notch up to speed once again with their load of West Elk coal in tow. They departed Grand Junction sometime around 9AM with an easy run across the desert, meeting Amtrak in Ruby Canyon and an empty coal train somewhere west of Green River. With a little over 60 miles left of double track, they don’t look to be stopping anytime soon.

I took this image some time ago but this is the first time I have uploaded one. This tree was washed up onto the beach during a huge storm. It's still there now, but is now further from the water.

The westbound UP-led military move did not make to Union Jct before the sun was down, due to excess railroad molasses, however I decided to stick around for it anyway. The least I could do was mess around with some pan shots as he was at least not crawling towards Park Jct. Attempts with trailing military equipment turned out a little better, but it was still fun. Nice running into you Douglas !
Happy Sunday! :)
