I traveled Canada extensively in the early 1990s before the shortline movement from the US spilled over to north of the border. So in the later years of the decade it was fun to go back and shoot some of the former CN and CP lines with new operators
In 1997 shortline holding company OmniTrax made a splash into Canada by operating some former CN track in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. These were fairly large operations that included the over 600 mile long line to Hudson Bay, and a 100 mile line from near Saskatoon to Prince Albert. Making things interesting was the fact they acquired 20 CN MLW M420Ws and the six BRC C-424s. In addition a former INCO RS11 and three BCR M420 B-units along with some interesting EMD Geeps. They also announced some nice paint schemes along with logos based on local interests.
But like most things OmniTRAX this was too ambitious. Not much happened in the way of paint. And most of the ALCos and MLWs quickly fell into disrepair.
I did manage one chase on the Carlton Trail of their daily Prince Albert to Saskatoon freight on the Warman Sub. Here a former CN M420W leads a BC Rail M420B and an ex-Southern Pacific GP9.
Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source.
The red deer is the fourth-largest deer species behind moose, elk and sambar deer. It is a ruminant, eating its food in two stages and having an even number of toes on each hoof, like camels, goats and cattle. European red deer have a relatively long tail compared to their Asian and North American relatives. Subtle differences in appearance are noted between the various subspecies of red deer, primarily in size and antlers, with the smallest being the Corsican red deer found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the largest being the Caspian red deer (or maral) of Asia Minor and the Caucasus Region to the west of the Caspian Sea. The deer of central and western Europe vary greatly in size, with some of the largest deer found in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe.Western European red deer, historically, grew to large size given ample food supply (including people's crops), and descendants of introduced populations living in New Zealand and Argentina have grown quite large in both body and antler size. Large red deer stags, like the Caspian red deer or those of the Carpathian Mountains, may rival the wapiti in size. Female red deer are much smaller than their male counterparts.
The European red deer is found in southwestern Asia (Asia Minor and Caucasus regions), North Africa and Europe. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated land mammal still existing in Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa, with the population centred in the northwestern region of the continent in the Atlas Mountains. As of the mid-1990s, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria were the only African countries known to have red deer.
In the Netherlands, a large herd (ca. 3000 animals counted in late 2012) lives in the Oostvaarders Plassen, a nature reserve. Ireland has its own unique subspecies. In France the population is thriving, having multiplied fivefold in the last half-century, increasing from 30,000 in 1970 to approximately 160,000 in 2014. The deer has particularly expanded its footprint into forests at higher altitudes than before. In the UK, indigenous populations occur in Scotland, the Lake District, and the South West of England (principally on Exmoor). Not all of these are of entirely pure bloodlines, as some of these populations have been supplemented with deliberate releases of deer from parks, such as Warnham or Woburn Abbey, in an attempt to increase antler sizes and body weights. The University of Edinburgh found that, in Scotland, there has been extensive hybridisation with the closely related sika deer.
Several other populations have originated either with "carted" deer kept for stag hunts being left out at the end of the hunt, escapes from deer farms, or deliberate releases. Carted deer were kept by stag hunts with no wild red deer in the locality and were normally recaptured after the hunt and used again; although the hunts are called "stag hunts", the Norwich Staghounds only hunted hinds (female red deer), and in 1950, at least eight hinds (some of which may have been pregnant) were known to be at large near Kimberley and West Harling; they formed the basis of a new population based in Thetford Forest in Norfolk. Further substantial red deer herds originated from escapes or deliberate releases in the New Forest, the Peak District, Suffolk, Lancashire, Brecon Beacons, and North Yorkshire, as well as many other smaller populations scattered throughout England and Wales, and they are all generally increasing in numbers and range. A census of deer populations in 2007 and again in 2011 coordinated by the British Deer Society records the red deer as having continued to expand their range in England and Wales since 2000, with expansion most notable in the Midlands and East Anglia.

The Kaiserbrunnen fountain was built in 1897, and the figures decorating it were replaced in 1990s. Since then, the fountain in the centre of the old quarter on Marktstätte square has featured caricatures such as a three-headed peacock with three papal tiaras. These commemorate the Council of Constance held from 1414 to 1418.

In the 1990s Venlo's river the Meuse several times unhappily surprised the city by serious floods. So it was decided to manage its flow by building new, higher levees and also by constructing a new nature reserve to be used as a water reservoir in times of high waters. The nature reserve is a wetland much loved by birds and by the occasional hiker. It has the form of a peninsula sticking out downriver from the Blerick side of the river to the north. Wonderful place!
During ground work on this reconstruction of Meuse's flow, archeologists discovered the vestiges of a Roman road along the river and also the foundations of a Roman bridge from what is now Blerick to Venlo on the eastern bank.
Right by that 'foundation' Sony captured this clump of Wild Chamomille and a Pop-up of Field Poppies.
In the mid 1990s, Mexico's government owned rail network was crumbling. Ultimately, the country would privatize the rail network as it would be in better hands. This sparked the uprising of three major railroads, Ferrosur, Ferromex, and Transportación Ferroviaria Mexicana (TFM). While Grupo Mexico would gain control of both Ferromex and Ferrosur in the early 2000s, TFM would go down a separate path.
Kansas City Southern Industries and Transportación Maritima Mexicana formed TFM, using the TMM logo and KCS "Grey Ghost" paint scheme. At the time, KCS had some control or owned Kansas City Southern, Panama Canal Railway, Gateway Western, Texas Mexican Railway, and TFM. After KCS gained full ownership of TFM in the early 2000s it would be rebranded as Kansas City Southern de Mexico (KCSM). Despite this, for many years seeing TFM marked equipment would still be common, but eventually it would catch up.
Despite it being two decades since TFM was rebranded, it is still possible to find locomotives running around in the original Grey Ghost paint. The most notable of these are the AC44s, which can be easily identified by the very worn out and simple grey paint job these units wear, and as of today are the only GEs on KCS and KCSM to still wear it. However, the locomotives no longer wear the TFM logos, though it isn't hard to see where KCS repainted over several areas to patch out the old numbers and logos for current ones. In the photo, a Grey Ghost AC44 leads a northbound empty grain train out of Roseville, many miles from home. The stripes that were originally a vibrant yellow when it first came out of the paint shops has since faded to white. I guess you could say these are ghosts that still remind railfans of a time long gone.
ATSF 92 leads V-PESR6-09 eastbound through the 'street canyons' of Kansas City just east of Union Station. What was once four mainlines through the area was reduced to two. Traffic levels in the 1990s prompted a third mainline to be added.
The Lafayette Apartments is a 62-unit building completed in 1920 that sits on the northwest corner of Washington and McLean streets, just a few blocks east of downtown Bloomington. The building is the design of architect A. T. Simmons, probably best known for his more than 71 Carnegie libraries in Illinois and a dozen other states, along with numerous courthouses, schools, churches and other public buildings. Simmons also designed most of the houses in the Cedar Crest Historic District of Normal, Illinois, the other half of the twin municipalities of Bloomington and Normal.
Constructed at a cost of $250,000, the building is a mix of architectural styles. The limestone columns and carved details, as well as the rooftop urns, are French Renaissance-inspired, while other elements, such as the inclusion of a sunroom in each apartment, is common to Amercan Arts and Crafts design.
Advertised during construction in 1919 as being modern and fireproof, each apartment included an icebox connected to a centralized refrigeration unit in the basement. There also was a centralized vacuum cleaner system.
On the roof of the building is an apartment, and atop the rooftop apartment is an observation tower. The roof apartment was once planned as a solarium or winter garden, and legend holds that it served as a Prohibition-era party house.
The Lafayette Apartments building underwent major renovations in the 1990s, and looks much like it did back in 1920.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is home to State Farm Insurance, Country Financial and Beer Nuts. Illinois Wesleyan University is located here, while the neighboring city of Normal is home to Illinois State University and Heartland Community College. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.

My MOC depicts 1990s Lunar New Year days in Vietnam. This living room has quintessential items from the old days:
1. The crown jewel of every family: a red Soviet made TV.
2. Tea set with a legendary thermo flask.
3. Kumquat tree
4. Cherry blossom branch
5. Soviet Era toys include: Red balance doll (lật đật) , Matryoshka doll, mini tennis racket, a kid's tea set and a holliday drum.
6. Trophies collection to show off your achivements
7. "Grandpa" furniture
8. All that packed into French built home that has seen better days. Houses in the 80s and 90s were left over, unfixed from the colonial era. People were often fascinated with buying western items after the US sanction got lifted, rather than fixing the wall.

Adventure Travel's contracted TrawsCymru Service T6 (Swansea-Neath-Crynant-Ystradgynlais-Sennybridge-Brecon) is registered to pass under the low railway bridge - which carries the South Wales Main Line - in Commercial Street in Neath in both directions. The service observes the bus stop outside the Railway Station rather than the Victoria Gardens terminal, and the use of Commercial Street further reduces the time penalty for serving the town.
I'm aware of only one double-decker to have lost her roof to the bridge and that was SWT ECW-bodied Bristol VR 993 in the early 1990s, which sealed her fate.
My shot goes back to June 2022 and depicts Adventure's Optare MetroCity OM162 passing through when green was still the primary colour used for TrawsCymru services. I cursed the pedestrian under my breath at the time, but in hindsight his presence probably enhances the image.

Lujiazui (en chino simplificado, 陆家嘴; pinyin, Lùjiāzuǐ), antiguamente conocido como Lokatse por su pronunciación en shanghainés, es una zona de Shanghái, constituida por una península formada por un meandro del Río Huangpu. Desde comienzos de la década de 1990, Lujiazui se ha desarrollado específicamente como el nuevo distrito financiero de Shanghái. La decisión de asignar este uso a Lujiazui refleja su localización: se sitúa en el lado este del río Huangpu en Pudong, justo enfrente del antiguo distrito financiero del Bund, cruzando el río.
Lujiazui es una zona de desarrollo de nivel nacional designada por el gobierno. En 2005 el Consejo de Estado reafirmó los 31,78 km² de Lujiazui como la única zona financiera y comercial entre las 185 zonas de desarrollo de nivel estatal de China continental.
Lujiazui, que significa literalmente "Desembocadura de Lu", está situado en el Nuevo Distrito de Pudong, en el lado este del río Huangpu. Forma una península en un meandro del río, que gira de dirección norte a este. La importancia de Lujiazui deriva de que está justo cruzando el río del Bund, el antiguo distrito financiero de Shanghái, y justo al sur de la confluencia del Río Suzhou con el río Huangpu. Hasta la década de 1980, Lujiazui era una zona relativamente poco urbanizada, que contenía viviendas, almacenes y fábricas.

Lujiazui (Chinese: 陆家嘴; pinyin: Lùjiāzuǐ) is a locality in Shanghai, a peninsula formed by a bend in the Huangpu River. Since the early 1990s, Lujiazui has been developed specifically as a new financial district of Shanghai. The decision to earmark Lujiazui for this purpose reflects its location: it is located on the east side of the Huangpu River in Pudong, and sits directly across the river from the old financial and business district of the Bund.
Lujiazui is a national-level development zone designated by the government. In 2005, the State Council reaffirmed the positioning of the 31.78 km2 (12.27 sq mi) Lujiazui area as the only finance and trade zone among the 185 state-level development zones in mainland China.
Lujiazui is located in the Pudong New District on the eastern bank of Huangpu River. It forms a peninsula on a bend of the Huangpu River, which turns from flowing north to flowing east. The importance of Lujiazui stems from the fact that it lies directly across the river from the Bund, the old financial and business district of Shanghai, and just south of the confluence of the Suzhou Creek with the Huangpu River. Until the 1980s, Lujiazui was a relatively low-built area, featuring residential houses, warehouses, and factories. Following the allocation of Lujiazui as a special investment zone in 1992, the development of Lujiazui's skyline begun. This was largely driven by Chinese state owned enterprises investing and developing the property within the area, with the inaugural landmark, the Oriental Pearl Tower, being completed in 1994.
Wouldn't be a Pakistan trip without me spotting at least a few of these! There's a Mehran on quite literally every single street in Pakistan (More than 10 on my street alone!), so I had to be very conservative with the ones I snapped.
This one looked particularly interesting, and is an actual 90s model instead of one from 2018 which look near identical!
Another lith re-interpretation of an older negative. I love how this one turned out, very colorful and nice tones overall!
The paper used here was ancient Revue BS 13 RC stock that was completely fogged. I couldn't even make a test strip as it would simply turn 100% black in normal developer. I ended up eyeballing/guesstimating the exposure time instead.
The print has a slight texture of microscopic black dots all over it. You can hardly see it on this upload.
I like this print much better than the direct negative scan I uploaded to Flickr a while ago.

My Camry, of course, and the Escort is a Bonus 90 model that I've photographed before and see around the area quite regularly. It had parked next to me when I got back to my car, so I couldn't resist a quick photo (even if it was a bit blurred from being taken at distance and in a hurry).
The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

History of the Swedish tiled stove
The stoves made during the Rococo-period by the porcelain factories Rörstrand and Marieberg were objects of status and extraordinary beauty.
The tiled stoves had their heydays during the 19th century, and during that time the stoves were both amazing sculptures as well as markers of social status in an eclectic mix of styles: renaissance, baroque, old Norse and majolica.
However, during the early decades of the 20th century, the trend of the tiled stoves died out, killed by central heating and electricity. And so, during 1950-60, most tiled stoves were torn down.
Since the 1990s however, these sources of warmth and comfort have made their comeback, on the basis of their energy smart qualities.
Brayford Pool in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Brayford Pool is a natural lake formed from a widening of the River Witham in the centre of the city of Lincoln. It was used as a port by the Romans who connected it to the River Trent by constructing the Foss Dyke Canal and the area has a long industrial heritage.
The Pool has been the focus of Lincoln's urban regeneration since the early 1990s. It is now overlooked by bars, restaurants, a cinema and, most significantly, the University of Lincoln. The only reminder of the past is the Royal William public house, a traditional pub housed inside a listed building. The Pool is used as a marina by houseboats and pleasure craft, as well as by anglers and kayakers.
The Brayford Pool has long been a favourite place for mute swans. Mute swans are one of the UK's largest birds and they can grow up to about 1.5m high. Although by definition the mute swans are usually silent, they do make a loud hissing noise when they are angry and young swans make a high-pitched whistling noise.
They breed upstream on the River Witham, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but are attracted down to the Brayford Pool area by food provided by passers-by. The number of swans usually peaks in the autumn and can be anything up to 130 birds. However in recent year the swans have moved out of the city along the River Witham.
Several mallard ducks can be found in the area as well as the less commonly known Muscovy ducks, native to Central and South America but brought to Europe by explorers in the 16th Century. The strange looking ducks have been immortalized to a degree with a ground floor suite named after them in the University’s Main Admin Building.
Other birds seen around the Brayford include the pied wagtail, kingfishers, mallards, moorhens, coots and herons. There are at least five different types of dragonfly, whilst the fish in the Brayford include roach, common bream, tench and pike. For budding anglers, the Lincoln and District Angling Association organise fishing in the Brayford Pool and the surrounding waterways.
Plants that can be found along River Witham include common species such as reed sweet grass, branched bur-reed and red mace, the much rarer arrowhead and flowering rush along with great water dock, skull cap and wild celery. A common tree along the river bank is the Alder.

Piera in Dislocator Records, April 1994. This was at 92c Redcross Street, off Trafalgar Street, and is now the 'Tucked Away' Sandwich & Coffee Shop.
I spent the weekend "rejuvenating" some old photos for a friend. She’s a resident where I work and we’ve bonded over art.
I ♥️ where I work.
So these photos from 1990.
Yes! Where did the time go?

Wicker Park, Chicago
On the cusp of gentrification. When artists could still afford to live there. When the Busy Bee diner was still under the el tracks with its Polish home cooking. When you’d still find the occasional hypodermic needle in the alley. When one block was good, the next not so good. And when I could actually park on the street in front of my flat without a permit. Those were the days.

This Giant Eagle was built as a Rini-Rego Stop-n-Shop in the mid 1990s and rebranded Giant Eagle on September 16, 1998. The store was approximately 55,000 square feet. It did not have a gas station. A Giant Tiger, later Gaylords department store was previously on the site. Giant Eagle closed this store on March 4, 2017.
This photo was taken on March 3rd, before the store closed.
