Yard Work

An inexpensive tripod adapter makes low light shots easy with a smartphone. These are all of the northern rail yard in Muskegon very early on September 22, 2015. As with nearly everything for the last six months, all were shot with an LG G4.

Too Thin To Plow

Muskegon River, June 9, 2015

The temperature finally got slightly above stupid this morning. Enough so to head out for the first Muskegon River run of the year.

These are both from a foggy run up the north branch after putting in at Fisherman’s Landing. The fog was so thick that it didn’t burn off until way later in the morning.

What was intended to be a short run to check for leaks and other equipment issues went way longer which explains the arms that feel like overcooked spaghetti!

Muskegon Rail Yard

This is from the train yard just north of downtown Muskegon near Fisherman’s Landing.

The early December morning offered a good chance to mess around with an extended exposure of the cars, tracks, and the huge light that illuminates the whole area.

It was a cold morning in Muskegon. Once the sun started to melt the frost at the river, the flora seemed even more beautiful than usual.

Mostly from a walk around Muskegon Lake this morning – with a couple from last week as well.

There was a fairly heavy rain on Friday night – although Susie was disappointed at the lack of thunder. Despite the quiet night, all of the water made for a great walk along the Muskegon River on Saturday morning.

Another Foggy Friday

Gorgeous foggy morning yesterday in Muskegon. These are from a walk out to the river just north of the Causeway.

Short Stop

Started out to that old bridge on the Muskegon River but found that the camera battery was low. Here are a few from the Northern Rail Yard before it died altogether.

Snow!

What was supposed to be a cold, clear morning became increasingly cloudy on the walk to the river.

And then, while heading back to Muskegon…the first snowflakes of the year!

Hate it when this happens.

On Monday, an early start and the extra miles were supposed to mean a sunrise over the Muskegon River from the old railroad bridge near the Causeway.

The walk couldn’t have been nicer, but the grand plan went astray when clouds moved in just as the sun was scheduled to make its entrance.

What a shame to have to try again next week.
