BNSF Coal Train
A BNSF Coal train passes the Long signal as it labors up the grade between Collegedale, Tennesse and the Howardsville Road crossing before decending into Cohutta, Georgia.
This is one of several BNSF coal trains that pass through the Chattanooga area each day from the Powder River Basin mining operation in Wyoming and enroute to the Robert W. Scherer Power Plant, just north of Macon, Georgia.

Circle One: J to Z
This is the second of two circles, The first was shaerd on 16 May here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103236949470535942612/posts/FPsHj9E2QEo. The circles have been divided alphabetically to help give more exposure to people with fewer followers and shared at different times to help keep down the stream saturation.
Please plus, comment and share. This circle has no requirements for future participation but your support and encouragement is appreciated.
It has been two weeks since I announced my intent to update my circle of the 500 most followed photographers on G+. I decided to do things a bit differently this time and so I'll share the top 1000. To build the circles and the list I enlisted the aid of +Bill Wood

Mourning Cloak (Nymphalis antiopa)
This afternoon I took advantage of the great weather to take a mountain bike ride on the Tanasi Trail System in Polk County near Copperhill, Tennessee. The trail climbs from the Ocoee River and up into the surrounding mountains.
One of the signs that spring is just around the corner is the emergence of the overwintering Morning Cloak, of which I encountered many. In most cases they flew up from the trail in front of me while other times they sailed through the still dormant trees.
This individual was photographed in Polk County in early June of 2009.

First Name N-S
The #photographerstofollow 2013 #alphabetcircles
Curated by +Gene Bowker
So who are these folks? And why are they photographers to follow?
First of all.. this circle contains a bunch of my closest friends on G+. The folks that I spend the most time "with" on here. There are a bunch of great photographers and just as importantly "good people" here.
1) Active : They have posted within the last month. With the holidays a lot of folks have slowed down but these folks are still there. Yes, I visited each stream.
2) Original These photographers are sharing mostly "THEIR OWN WORK" and their stream is mostly photography.
3) Interactive : I try to find folks who are interactive and comment on their own posts and the posts of others.
