Excellent views of things Downunder. Especially liked the night street shot. Thanks for posting.

The lady was not "sucked" into the path of the engine. She was standing on the track with the engine still 10-20 feet or so from her. (A picture was taken which proves this.)

No, you are both correct. The OP probably placed his photo in the Photo Gallery or Main Photography section but it was moved by Admin to Trains. Lemon Drop Kid saw the photo when it was still in the Gallery or Main, you found it after it was moved. Happens all the time.
Thanks Ed. I thought I knew where I saw when I saw it, but I don't see it there now.

It was I who was confused. (Or was it me?) I don't know. This is all too confusing. But I loved the train pics!

Nice clean shot. It should be posted in the "trains" section.

A pair of switchers on the siding at Hudson, NY waiting to start shuttling the cars to the ADM Milling flour plant on the east side of town. Because of the steep grade coming off the river they have to make several trips right through the center of Hudson. The grain arrives on a dedicated train out of the mid-west.
Took this while out playing with my new EOS R. Lens was my EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS.

They did that for years in our subdivisiion until I asked them why they couldn't move the snow to the middle of the street from both sides, and they did! They shoveled gaps in the buildup a couple of places in each block.

I made a simple frame out of wood that holds the camera and the slide. I put a white card a couple of feet behind the slide and illuminate the card with a flood light. Cost: Zero.

Am I missing something here? I went through gyrations like that in shooting film and using a hand-held Lunasix meter (which I still have) but now with my Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 digital camera all I need to do is look at the monitor screen and turn the exposure plus/minus dial until I get everything looking the way I want it. (within 5 stops plus and 5 stops minus, in thirds of a stop). And if a camera doesn't have such a "live" view, you can "shoot and review" till the cows come home and it costs you nothing, and still probably saves time as opposed to fussing with metering.

Loved it! We still have three bears in our house from various times.

The Wall Street Journal published a study where someone analyzed if "icing the kicker" by calling a timeout just before the kicker makes his field goal attempt had any outcome on the game. The conclusion was that "icing the kicker by calling timeout" had no statistical influence on negatively affecting the kicker's attempt and was an old strategy mainly based on superstition. In this case, the superstition worked!
I have also seen a kicker miss the kick that didn't count because a time out was called, and then proceed to make the second kick that counted. Any stats of that?

The NFL has issued a finding that the kicked ball was tipped by an Eagles player.

Our phone "number" was two long and one short. You cranked a handle to ring it. You put a square card in your house front window to show the ice man how much ice you wanted -- 25, 50, 75 or 100 pound blocks. I wore corduroy pants and high tops to school -- there was a pocket on the side where you could slip in a pocket knife. My dad had an Essex automobile.

Could have been a great photo...but the cut off heads (horse & cowboy) just don't cut it. Sorry, that's just the way I see it.
Your comment sounds like something a photo contest judge at a county fair might make. I am a retired daily newspaper photo editor and I would run it four columns wide without a single concern about the missing heads. It is a fine action shot. It could have been cropped to show only the wrangler and the animal, but I feel the other horse and rider add excitement and context, if not purity of image. It was not, afterall, a posed shot.

I shot there this spring. At least four of your shots are exactly, and I mean "exactly", the same as mine. Great minds . . .
