While shooting the moonrise last night (since the eastern horizon was relatively free of clouds) I did get to capture another nice green flash along the Moon's upper limb. (Really more of a wavering flicker than a flash, but it was visible through the viewfinder.) 📸🌖

I keep this copy I painted of Goya's portrait of Señora Sabasa Garcia in a closet, so that sometimes when I go in there, it will surprise me.

Amtrak is launching a new high-speed Acela train. But there is one wrinkle: It isn’t actually faster, at least not yet.
Amtrak’s New Acela Trains Are Here. They’re Moving Slower Than the Old Ones.
The next-generation trains, part of a $2.45 billion upgrade, can reach 160 miles an hour but are limited by the railroad’s aging infrastructure.
