Another adventure for us, following the massive and remarkable #4014 through the United States. We found a rural crossing near Vail, Iowa, and after waiting for nearly 2 hours, we got our chance to see this magnificent machine pass by. In the past, 4014 was given their own clear track. In recent years, they have been required to fit in with normal freight traffic. So this video includes some MOW (Maintenance of Way) equipment, and a couple of long freight trains, as an introduction. This video was made from photos and videos taken by both my wife and myself. She did all the compositing work in KDenLive. Cameras include Sony and JVC video, as well as Panasonic GX85 units (still sequence, and HD video). (Many thanks for the favs and views, but there was a fundamental error in the titles. We had to replace the original video, which can only be done by deleting and re-installing. Again, many thanks for the faves and views.) See: swansongrp.com/4014

Street-side wall of some buildings in Banjul. Taken from the tour bus, as we traveled through the city. Appears to be political graffiti on the wall. Do view on a black background. Image processed with GIMP.

We could see lots of action in the Auckland Harbour. Here we have a tug positioning a container ship, near the container crane. In the foreground, there are lots of cars that just arrived, and some containers sitting around. Image processed with GIMP.

Taken when we visited a car show in New Jersey. We were spending Thanksgiving with the family, and decided to get out of the house for a bit. A local car club was displaying their pride and joy machines. Lots of fun. Image processed with GIMP.

Saw this seriously decayed car parked near our cruise ship in Dakar, Senegal. Looks like someone parked it, and forgot it.

Taken at a car show in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. There was an interesting mix of cars, but the 1957 Chevrolet seems to have been pretty popular. Taken with the Panasonic GX85 and processed with GIMP.

Taken at a car show in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This Chrysler Imperial is indeed a classic, from the rocket-like tail lights to the push-button automatic transmission settings on the dash. Taken with the Panasonic GX85 and processed with GIMP.

We had some spectacular sunsets during our visits in Quartzsite. I was taking sunset shots, when the paraglider flew overhead. I was able to wait until they were in the frame for this shot. For the Sunday Challenge, this offers several layers of yellow, from the bright sun to the deeper orange. See: swansonphotos.com/arizona
