Love those clouds!

With a lot of help from mother nature, the sky/background really makes the image, taken this past Sunday the 13th at North Las Vegas Nevada.



In this image, they (the clouds) were conspiring against me! Putting my subject in the shadows.
...but still kind of a neat shot.

 

Nice, Mike. I think I have seen them elsewhere, as this one:

 

I remember that day Fitz, it was very windy and cold as all heck...at least for us desert dwellers!

 

This is the best I can do from my collection. Durango & Silverton #480 departing Durango on June 22nd, two days before I would ride the same line.

 

Here's mine:

 

I have a couple of those!

Cumbres & Toltec #484 in Osier, CO:



Cumbres & Toltex #487 in Osier:



Austin Area Terminal Railroad #189 in Bertram, Texas:



UP Caliente Depot, Caliente, NV:

 

Nicely done guys. If I get a chance I will scan some of my Silverton and Chama stuff done on Black and White, lots of clouds...

Great shots guys.
Heres a fog shot of SP 6853, with the Tehachapi work train, at Woodford.

SP 8277 at Mojave.

Here's mine:

 

Jeff...we keep getting great skies with wonderful clouds...but not a drop of rain since last year...its been bone dry here in the Vegas Valley...my lawn is sooo distressed.

 

Here is another...taken a few weeks ago...

Some whhispy Cajon clouds...

Oh by the way... is that a Survivor in Mike's first picture?

 

Sure is...one of those MK rebuilds of a few yrs back, still in SP paint and numbers. The local crews seem to really love them since they have new/newer A/C units which is really necessary here in the scorching desert.

 

Russell, that looks like a frontal movement. Here is one of the uninteresting side of the restored UP depot at Kelso, CA, taken Monday, Sept. 11.

 

Nice image Fitz!

Here is another image I recently took
