BNSF 9068 Colorado Springs 9 Mar 24 - a photo on Flickriver

            BNSF 9068 leads a southbound coal train into Colorado Springs, CO.  

I was once again out testing different settings and getting comfortable with the new Canon PowerShot SX740 HS.  This morning we got to experience heat distortion on the 960mm-equivalent long end a little later in the morning.

Not too many signs of civilization at this spot despite there being a giant sound wall protecting the neighborhood off to my immediate left.  And in that neighborhood was a good reminder of why I drifted away from this hobby over the past couple of years.  I had some old dude out walking his dog being anything but inconspicuous eyeing me and my car who dared park in his neighborhood (there are no "No Parking" signs on the streets, BTW).

The hassle of this hobby any more, especially dealing with people, outweighs the enjoyment I tend to get out of it.  But at least it was all ACes this morning!
