Just looking through old photos & remembering when I was out shooting in western PA with my wife. Finished for the day & was leaving town when a torrential downpour started. Turned onto a narrow residential street lined with homes and parked cars and barely made out an odd, single headlight higher than any car approaching us. Squeezed into a parking spot just in time to miss being plastered by a train. The tracks ran right down the middle of the street and the warning signs were out. Good times

Where it all started:

Before I took this picture back in March 2022, I was not a bird photographer. Seeing this Long-tailed tit hooked me in, its such a beautiful bird and since then I have seen 100's of beautiful birds I'd never appreciated prior. I would say this is my first birding photo.
