Gracias por los comentarios, los favs y el chateo Colibrí

Many thanks Birel, considering it was completely unplanned I’m quite chuffed with it.

Allí dice "On Sunday December 14th, the Holiday Express will NOT operate as scheduled." pues parece que sí operó….

Wow. Explore! Es como si fuera navidad o algo

Thank you!

I appreciate you breaking your no superlatives rule. Much obliged

Thanks for the heads up on Explore. Added!

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. The original shot was a little off so I straightened it in post. I was nervous I was going to get scalded or something by the steam.

Jaja, como de verdad… gracias Fer.

DJ Randall! Cuánto tiempo… no tienes nada de conferencias en Portland en el futuro próximo?

Thanks!

It was freezing. Photos from later will attest that my eyebrows and hair are full of ice… Thanks!

Danke schoen!

The Polar Express

December 14, 2008 : Oregon (Action, Extreme Weather, Portland)

This shot was a happy accident. I was walking along the railway track and saw a light in the distance coming out of the blizzard, gradually it became obvious it was the train I saw stationed there t’other day and it was belching out steam and making a fair old racket. As it went past, Santa (the American Father Christmas) leaned out and all in all it was a pretty special moment.

I am extremely happy about all the snow that arrived today…
