A rare sun of late winter and an impromptu trip to Long Branch Farm. Using the light while I have it.
"Far out on the rim of the prairie lies a silvery haze, through which the vault of azure melts into the dusty whiteness of the grasses.
Then, level on level, with each slowly swelling rise growing sharper under that crystalline atmosphere the prairie rolls in, broken here by a willow copse and there by a straggling birch bluff, while a belt of cool neutral shadow marks the course of a deep-sunk ravine.
At first sight it is all one glaring sweep of white and gray, but on looking closer with understanding eyes one sees the yellow and sage-green of tall reeds in a sloo, the glowing lights of sun-bleached buffalo bones, and a mingling of many colors where there is wild peppermint or flowers among the grass.
Then, broad across the foreground, growing tall and green in a few moister places, and in others changing to ochre and coppery red, there ripples, acre after acre, a great sea of grain."
From the book Lorimer of the Northwest by Harold Bindloss
This is one of several panels on the High Level bridge in Newcastle upon Tyne that hold padlocks, the recent craze where lovers put their names on a padlock and attach them to bridges. The other day I saw a guy with bolt cutters taking one off and throwing it into the water, was it a failed relationship or was he very jealous?

Beautiful starry night in Joshua Tree National Park, CA, my spiritual home for photography, on a perfect night in mid-June. I met my friend Dave for dinner and then drove out to this picturesque area of the Park for the beginning of my photog adventure in this area. To the left of this photo was a strange humming sound, and as I walked closer, I realized that it was a giant bee hive. That area could wait for another time to explore. Time to walk to a different area and photograph! I lit the trees just a little with a ProtoMachines LED2 handheld flashlight during the exposure.

Have you heard that every time you remember something, your memory changes? I think it's related to the Observer Effect in physics, where the act of observing or measuring something changes whatever it is.
I guess it's best to just be here now, eh? Don't worry, be happy..... www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU
The Civic Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne is an iconic building, renowned for its striking modernist architecture and central location. Opened in 1968, it serves as the headquarters for Newcastle City Council and features notable landmarks such as the grand council chamber and the bronze “Swans in Flight” sculpture by David Wynne. Surrounded by landscaped gardens, it is a popular venue for civic events, weddings, and public gatherings. Taken from St James’ Park.
A bit of postcode lottery today after local runner and bird enthusiast Marcus Doolan stumbled upon this Black Redstart at my local cycle track. Very convenient lockdown birding as the canal and cycle track are pretty much all I have to enjoy during lockdown.

It’s a new day, a new lens, a new work. I had a lovely morning wandering around along the River Thames at Richmond Upon Thames shooting some HDR and trying out a new lens.
Anyone that knows me, knows I am a dyed in the wool Electro-Motive Diesel fan, especially the SD70's, with few exceptions. So when I was called out of the hotel in Chicago, Wednesday night, and my conductor handed me our train profile, I got a little excited.
We were called for the I16602 out of CPKC's Schiller Park Yard, and according to the profile it was going to be lead by CP 7043 with KCS 4030 as a DPU on the rear of the 45 car double stack train.
Right away I noticed a problem with having KCS 4030 on the rear of the train. Upon arriving at the yard office, that yes that is the way CPKC had planned to run the train.
Phone calls were made to address the problem, and eventually it was decided to take the DP off the rear and just run the train with both locomotives on the front of the train.
Now to me things were really getting exciting, with a pair of EMD SD70AC variants in the lead. Even cooler to me was the fact that one of each were in CPKC's predecessors paint, Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern
Anymore in CP's later years finding a EMD on the roster became pretty hard with the exception of four axle units as CP had been buying General Electric locomotives almost exclusively for years as power for road trains, so to have a EMD leading let alone a SD70 version is still somewhat rare.
Finally after shuffling some stuff around we departed and had a decent trip home to North Baltimore, OH. After pulling up to the crew change pad, I headed in tied up and took off out the door with photographing the train after departing the yard.
Heading east from North Baltimore I finally found a place that would work, and pulled off the side of the road, and waited about 40 minuets later for the train to show up.
In this early afternoon view CSX train I16602 is eastbound passing a recently harvested bean field as it approaches the interlocking at Godsend, outside of Fostoria, OH. with CP 4073 a EMD SD70ACU leading KCS 4030 a SD70ACe pulling approximately 6400 feet of double stacks bound for Canada.
... somewhere in Newcastle upon Tyne ...
Newcastle upon Tyne (often shortened to Newcastle) is a city and metropolitan borough of Tyne and Wear, in North East England. Situated on the north bank of the River Tyne, the city developed in the area that was the location of the Roman settlement called Pons Aelius, though it owes its name to the castle built in 1080, by Robert II, Duke of Normandy, the eldest son of William the Conqueror.
Last year when visiting with my daughter and her husband out in Nevada, Tom & I took the day to explore to see what we could find. I had heard of a band of wild horses in the area, so we thought why not try ... and lo and behold, we found them. The ones that we found were roaming the hillside, probably about a dozen of them. It was not my first encounter with wild horses ... but one that ignited my passion for them collectively.
I found something special in seeing the young following along with the older ones. They just seemed so innocent and loving, as they learned the way of the wild.
Happy Hump Day everyone! Thanks for stopping by.

This is looking down upon the piazza where the famous Palio di Siena, horse race, is held twice a year. Tons of dirt is hauled in to cover the square for the races in July and August.
It is also the gathering place each evening for the town. It seemed as though there was entertainment and competition every night we were there. It's a great place to people watch.
