42st from the bridge at Tudor City looking west towards the Chrysler building. Fuji XT-2 and 16mm 1.4. Shot at dusk.
Thanks to daylight saving time, I can now take some shots in daylight after leaving work. This one was shot before the time change so all I could do was play around with long exposures.
74 second exposure with an ND3 filter. It wasn't quite night yet, and I wanted lots of streaky lights from cars going by without overexposing.

A re scan from a previous posting.
This was one hell of a day. Being just 14 years old on a limited budget, just how does a young teenage railfan end up 60 miles from home under the famed Starrucca Viaduct shooting the Delaware & Hudson? Well, it goes like this. Get up real early. 5AM early. Head over to the neighbors house who has your Saturday morning Binghamton Press newspapers waiting for you. 67 in all. Load them in the carry bag and roll off through the south side of Norwich, NY on your route. The best thing about the Saturday paper was that it was the lightest of the week and could be delivered in one outing. The Press was an afternoon paper during the week and an AM paper on the weekends, so not much new news to cover in a 12 hour period for Friday afternoon to Saturday morning.
After making the round I get home, grab my camera bag stuffed with a Canon AE-1 and a cheap 135mm tele picked from 42st Photo a year earlier with paper route money. Clamp it to the back rack of the 24 inch 10 speed and head off onto NYS RT12 south for Binghamton and the D&H Bevier St. yard, 41 miles away.
It is there where I watched Alcos switching the yard and freight trains coming and going with a mix of three builders and some N&W mixed in. Part II. Along comes J.J. Young Jr. with his chauffeur, Elwood. We have a good BS session until JJ gets some info from the yard office of some moves on the Wilkes Barre main. They invited me to take a ride with them. So with the bike laying up against the hand rails to the yard office, I jump in the back of the red Chevy Nova and off we go zipping east on NYS RT17 at a pace of hell break, JJ cursing at other drivers with words unheard of my my young ears! Elwood calming steering around folks as if he ran moonshine in the Fifties on southern dirt roads. They were quite the duo! 23 miles later we end up in the shade under a tree by the viaduct on this super hot day. A northbound had passed us with a solid blue C420 leading.

And then the Arrarat helpers pulled into the siding and into position for a southbound and for our cameras. I took this one shot of the 5017. Having just one roll of film, you have to hope for the best and not waste any.
Part III the southbound shows up and rolls by with a GE U23B leader and the chase was on!

We followed him all the way to the summit, 16 miles away.
That's where the chase ended and we headed west for Binghamton. I think the dynamic duo would have continued on if it weren't for me. They knew it was getting late and even during the long days of summer, it'd be quite late for me getting home on two wheels. It would be 35 miles back to Bingo and 41 miles back home. A long day, about 16 hours, and a long ways, nearly 160 miles. Not a bad day for a rail buff who has yet to get a drivers license!
December 26, 2010 the Blizzard was just beginning to hit with squalls of snow and high winds. This shot was taken about 3:20pm. (more photos to be uploaded)

O projeto de lei que prevê a divulgação de regiões turísticas do Brasil de forma gratuita em emissoras de rádio e televisão, com votação prevista para esta terça-feira (4/06) na Comissão de Ciência, Tecnologia, Inovação, Comunicação e Informática (CCT), não é consensual entre os senadores. Foi concedida vista da matéria (tempo para análise) a pedido do senador Aníbal Diniz (PT-AC).
O projeto de lei do Senado (PLS) 630/2011 é de autoria do senador Benedito de Lira (PP-AL) e foi o principal tema da reunião, presidida pelo senador Zeze Perrella (PDT-MG). O texto original prevê a obrigatoriedade da divulgação para todas as emissoras, tanto públicas, como privadas. Emenda do senador Álvaro Dias (PSDB-PR) restringiu apenas às emissoras públicas, educativas e comunitárias a responsabilidade pela divulgação dos atrativos turísticos.
O relator do projeto, senador Valdir Raupp (PMDB-RO), acolheu a mudança sugerida por Álvaro Dias, por considerar que as rádios e televisões privadas perderiam espaço que poderia ser comercializado. Em sua avaliação, a medida deve ser aplicada apenas às emissoras públicas, que são mantidas com recursos públicos e impedidas legalmente de comercializar espaços publicitários.
Na opinião do senador Aníbal Diniz, as emendas desvirtuam o projeto original, que visa fomentar o desenvolvimento socioeconômico, divulgar o patrimônio histórico, artístico e cultural, bem como contribuir com a proteção ao meio ambiente. Para o senador, as emissoras públicas já cumprem esse papel e o objetivo da proposta é converter em notas sobre turismo as bonificações fiscais dadas às empresas privadas de comunicação, que funcionam por meio de concessões estatais.
Já para o senador Lobão Filho (PMDB-MA), ao impedir a comercialização dos espaços, a proposta prejudica as emissoras que, segundo ele, pagam pelas concessões. Para o senador, sem as emendas de Alvaro Dias, “o projeto é um absurdo”.
O fato de serem as emissoras usuárias de concessões públicas não significa que seus horários devam ser utilizados para inserções gratuitas, geralmente com prejuízo para as emissoras, disse o presidente da CCT, Zeze Perrella. Telefonia celular e aviação também são concessões, mas nem por isso há oferta de viagens e os telefonemas gratuitos, comentou o senador mineiro.
Desastres Climáticos
O senador Luiz Henrique (PMDB-SC) solicitou vista do projeto de lei que obriga as concessionárias de TV, rádio e telefonia celular a divulgar alertas sobre a possibilidade de ocorrência de desastres climáticos (PLS 490/2009). A proposta inicial, do ex-senador Raimundo Colombo, sugeria a criação do Centro de Prevenção de Desastres Climáticos (CPDC), um órgão federal para atuar como centro de informações de utilidade pública, para prevenção e alerta sobre possíveis eventos climáticos, como furacões, inundações e incêndios florestais.
Por considerar a proposta inconstitucional, uma vez que a iniciativa de criação de órgão no Executivo é privativa do presidente da República, o relator da matéria, senador Rodrigo Rollemberg (PSB-DF), apresentou substitutivo para aproveitar a sugestão de Colombo de informação a população sobre desastres climáticos.
Torneio de Formação Profissional
A Comissão aprovou autorização para que o senador Luiz Henrique participe de missão política como membro do colegiado no 42º Torneio Internacional de Formação Profissional (42st WorldSkills), a ser realizado de 2 a 7 de julho, em Leipzig (Alemanha). O senador informou que o Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Industrial (Senai) será o principal representante do Brasil no evento, em que acontece competição de formação profissional entre jovens dos países mais industrializados no mundo.
No último torneio, realizado em Londres, em 2011, ressaltou o senador, o Brasil conquistou o 2º lugar, atrás apenas da Coréia do Sul e à frente de países como Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, Japão e Alemanha. Foi aprovada também a viagem do senador Sérgio Petecão (PSD-AC) à cidade de Leipzig, na Alemanha, para participar do mesmo evento e no mesmo período, representando também a CCT e atendendo a convite especial.
Convite do Exército
O presidente Zeze Perrella comunicou à Comissão haver recebido convite do Gabinete do Comandante do Exército para que os integrantes da Comissão de Ciência, Tecnologia, Inovação, Comunicação e Informática participem de uma visita institucional ao Comando Militar do Sul, a realizar-se no período de 27 a 29 de junho próximo. Os senadores e senadoras que desejarem participar da visita deverão comunicar seus nomes à Secretaria da CCT.

Perrella destaca a existência de
quorum na reunião da Comissão
O senador Zeze Perrella (PDT-MG) saudou mais uma vez o fato de ter havido quorum na realização da reunião de hoje (04/06) da Comissão de Ciência, Tecnologia, Inovação, Comunicação e Informática, por ele presidida. Dez parlamentares estiveram presentes e participaram ativamente dos trabalhos, tendo apreciado propostas em tramitação e votação de projetos autorizando o funcionamento de 26 emissoras de rádio em vários Estados.
Se não forem observados horários diferentes para as reuniões de cada Comissão não haverá solução para o problema da ausência de parlamentares, que são obrigados a se desdobrar entrando e saindo de várias delas, sem poder exercer corretamente sua atividade, disse Perrella.
O senador Luiz Henrique (PMDB-SC) lembrou a proposta do senador Mozarildo Cavalcante (PTB-RO) que propõe alternar as atividades do Senado em uma semana totalmente dedicada ao plenário e a outra semana às Comissões, sucessivamente. O senador Lobão Lobão FIlho (PMDB-MA) desaprovou a proposta, considerando-a muito radical, e disse que o problema está sendo estudado por uma comissão especial, sob seu comendo.

New York City (NYC), often called the City of New York or simply New York (NY), is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2018 population of 8,398,748 distributed over about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the U.S. state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With almost 20 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and approximately 23 million in its combined statistical area, it is one of the world's most populous megacities. New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, significantly influencing commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City is composed of five boroughs, each of which is a county of the State of New York. The five boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898. The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world as of 2016. As of 2019, the New York metropolitan area is estimated to produce a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of $2.0 trillion. If greater New York City were a sovereign state, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world. New York is home to the highest number of billionaires of any city in the world.
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York was the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790, and has been the largest U.S. city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the U.S. by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a symbol of the U.S. and its ideals of liberty and peace. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity. In 2019, New York was voted the greatest city in the world per a survey of over 30,000 people from 48 cities worldwide, citing its cultural diversity.
Many districts and landmarks in New York City are well known, including three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013. A record 62.8 million tourists visited New York City in 2017. Times Square is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. Many of the city's landmarks, skyscrapers, and parks are known around the world. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world. New York is home to the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, with multiple distinct Chinatowns across the city. Providing continuous 24/7 service and contributing to the nickname The City that Never Sleeps, the New York City Subway is the largest single-operator rapid transit system worldwide, with 472 rail stations. The city has over 120 colleges and universities, including Columbia University, New York University, Rockefeller University, and the City University of New York system, which is the largest urban public university system in the United States. Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, namely the New York Stock Exchange, located on Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, and NASDAQ, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan.
