I am a retired engineer and love being retired. I have too many hobbies and can't seem to stay with just one. Photography is the longest running, (Under age 10 ) but I started several hobbies about that time.
Where this old steam engine was photographed was a dismal looking work area with a very ugly freeway overpass and other distracting background features. I used PhotoShop to remove the distractions and then pasted them onto pleasing backgrounds. I can send copies of the originals if you want them.
I'm new to, and relatively unfamiliar with, the Sierras; but direction of shadows+time of day & year+Google Earth suggests that maybe it's (from the left): Stanislaus Peak, Burst Rock, Tower Peak, Sawtooth Ridge-Matterhorn Peak- Whorl Mtn. group, and Volunteer Peak??? Help is welcome, here.
II watched as two men were dropped off and they checked out and started all eight engines, and then checked all of the couplings between them. (about a half hour) Then one switched the rails while the other drove and they coupled them all together and headed north toward Seattle's King Street Station. I was impressed by the preflight as much as the power they exude.
A Rufous Hummingbird (migratory) at our Anna's Hummingbird feeder in West Seattle, Wa. The male Anna's is not pleased to share, even with other local hummers.

Just a small scene in a beautiful park.
One of the most recognizable scenes in the U.S. I never get tired of looking at it.
Pretty hard to believe that anyone could look at this photo and then mispell the name on the building.

It must've been a fabulous place! (Closed and subsequently burned down in the mid-'60s).
