Out of the mists

Vertigo

@ slack tide

First saw this stuff last Nov. in Newport, OR. Went back in Dec. to test drive an air tight AW 100. The salt zone in the area is really intense and I've blown out another camera having too much fun at the beach. The plants were alive, well and waiting.

I did mention sunset

Back in the day, never thought I'd be old enough to say that, my grandfather would sometimes bring home stories about Betty. Cantankerous, seam bursting, ornery, ugly and a few (don't say that in front of the kids) terms not for family ears or, in this case, eyes. Betty was the last of the steam yard switchers at the Delta in Everett, WA. Found out years later that his words applied to all Steam Engines. Each has its own personality, good days and bad, and more than a few of the very bad.

Water before steam

Arrive Silverton, Co

These picture a working narrow gauge RR running between Durango and Silverton in SW Colorado. Using a Nikon D 90 at the time on program, as I'm a little to slow to keep up with the ever changing light.

Thanks for the hint. Stuff on the way.

With permission, I think I'll set a while. My vsop and I are fortunate enough to take a couple extended road trips each year, mainly west of the Mississippi Rv. and border to border. Not much on creature comfort as we car camp where we can and literally let the locals tell us where to find the next Y in the road. There are some wonderful 8 hour short cuts out and about, with a glimps or two of them on the way. First pic mainly for sizing problems, if any.
