And this was one of the other three main goals of the trip and certainly the most obscure and least accessible requiring a drive down a sketchy dirt road and then a one way hike down the RofW in brutal 90+ degree heat and humidity. But, when I learned about the only rail tunnel in the state of Oklahoma I knew I needed to see it someday!
This is the Jenson tunnel on Kansas City Southern's modern day Fort Smith branch. The 1180 ft bore was drilled through Backbone Mountain in 1885-86 by the Frisco controlled Fort Smith & Southern Railway back when this was still part of the Choctaw Nation in Indian Territory. The route through the tunnel was once exceptionally busy and has a truly fascinating history. To learn more I highly recommend this pdf: s3.amazonaws.com/dayoneweb/364/1810.pdf Today KCS uses it primarily to serve the OK Foods elevator and a few smaller customers as well as conduct a but of interchange with the Arkansa and Missouri and Fort Smith Railroad shortlines.
KCS began operating over this line on trackage rights after their own Fort Smith branch from Spiro was abandoned following flood damage in 1943. Frisco successor Burlington Northern severed this line which was known as the Arthur Subdivision in 1983 but continued to travel through this tunnel for another year or so down to Poteau and Wister. Once they abandoned the segment from those two points the BN no longer traveled south of Fort Smith and to protect their access KCS leased the line in 1985 then purchased it outright in 1989. Meanwhile in 1986 the balance of the old SLSF Central Division north of Fort Smith was sold to the new Arkansas and Missouri Railroad which runs it to this day.
KCS' 28 mile long branch has many superlative photo ops, but this was tops on my list. Here is the M-F local freight known as the Fort Smith Dodger (train RHV106 03) on the return trip south (railroad west) to the mainline in Poteau and their starting point at Heavener Yard. Leading the in Southern Belle paint are KCS 2976 (GP40-3 rebuild originally blt. Feb. 1981 new for the railroad as GP40-2 796) and 2808 (GP40-3 rebuild originally blt. May 1966 as straight GP40 WP 3503).

An early shot of the Beatles at the Cavern Club in Liverpool; February, 1961. Pete Best was still their drummer at the time.
I suspect that Pete's mom took the photo, as a) she owned the Cavern Club, and b) he really stands out in the shot, despite being in the back. Just a suspicion....

**Cripple Creek Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 66000939, date listed 10/15/1966
Rt. 67
Cripple Creek, CO (Teller County)
A National Historic Landmark (www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalhistoriclandmarks/list-of-nh...).
The Cripple Creek-Victor mining district was founded late in comparison to other Colorado mining towns. Though gold had been found as early as 1874, it was not until Bob Womack's discovery in Poverty Gulch, after 15 years of unsuccessful prospecting, that the area became interesting to other prospectors. The city of Cripple Creek was officially incorporated in 1892. For sometime after the town sprang up, progress was slow as there was not a great influx of miners into the district. In 1891 the population was less than 500, in 1892 about 2,500, but between that time and 1900 the population had grown to more than 25,000 in Cripple Creek and in excess of 55,000 in the district.
The first town was constructed primarily of wood. In 1896 a fire started in a local dance hall. This fire leveled 15 acres of the town. Only four days later the town was completely razed by another fire. The subsequent town was then constructed of brick and a number of these structures remain today. Though few of these structures are outstanding in themselves, they are indicative of the historic fabric of the town. (1)
The Old Homestead (1896) is located on Meyers Avenue which was the center of an extensive "red light" district. A two-story brick building with flat top roof and painted white, the Old Homestead is now operated as a museum. (1)

APR 2005 From the Aeon of Regional Conflicts and World Wars,
to the Epoch of Clashing Civilizations & Global Uniculturalism.
[-] Notes from bilwander's suspended Facebook, now >here [-]
In the times of Globalization & the "progressive" illusion of Multicultural "Coexistence" ( i.e. devastative global uniculturalism ), Clashing Civilizations, Proxy Wars, Blind Terrorism, Uncontrolled Breeding and Consumerism, are ending this World, while ... Comics of ... Iconomics make the most epic failure ever of Democracy in the, so to say, developed societies.
Virtual Economies (thus Iconomies) generating elitist wealth out of deregulated money supply, leveraged credit expansion, permanently rolling-over and exponentially rising debt , impossible to be paid-off in any visible future, along with unsustainable consumption and "growth", and, in the end, extreme global socio-economic, geopolitical, environmental and even health crises.
Crises of Massive Poverty, Misery and Migration, on a planet already crowded, littered, polluted and exploited to its limits; a planet where the wealthy suffer from diseases of affluence & longevity, and contaminated food, while the poor die early from malnutrition and lack of basic hygiene and medical care.
World Population and Inequality (Wealth Distribution Gap) grow faster than the Gross World Product (GWP) while Natural Resources are Draining Out, and Long-term Structural Unemployment & Poverty will deterministically continue to rise for at least this whole century as far as Governments and Peoples continue to ignore and defy the most crucial macroeconomic parameter (i.e. World Demographic Trend) and the factors (Population Size & Quality) that define the Welfare Equation. In simple words : :
The More People On Earth The Much Worse Their Life Gets
The Mother of All Evil and Misery
In The Epoch of the Infinite Evolution of Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics and Eugenics, the forecasts for World Poverty are gravely pessimistic as far as the vast majority of people continue to over-exercise Outdated Reproductive Rights, without basic knowledge, responsibility and resources, or, even worse, with criminal and/or genetically detrimental records, factually instigating and perpetrating the most massive, continuous and silent Genocidal Crime of human history alongside an Overpopulation of self-condemned people ...
A more than obvious global crime, yet ignored and absent from any agenda, a taboo not even to be quoted within a defiant World Society and an idle Academic Community; the Mother of All Evil and Misery, a ticking time-bomb of total destruction whereas populist regimes and the hypocrisy of political correctness dominate and govern the populace ...
Family Planning, Genetic Engineering and, nowadays, Sexual Transgenderism (and eventually Androidification ) though yet far from consisting mainstream social procedures, and even with law deficits, are increasingly practiced altering already the traditional patterns of human reproduction and social institutions, thus defining the rise of a new epoch within the Anthropocene.
Qualitatively Controlled Human Reproduction by individual choice, assisted by Sperm & Ova Banks via Modified DNA and combination of superior genetic "materials" along with Artificial Intelligence, will eventually lead to intellectual and physical abilities, unprecedentedly superior to those of Homo Sapiens and its contemporary Universalis, so defining the species of the Androidified Human; a Homo Superius of “his/her/its” kind; the product of the Contemporary Dark Ages where Obsolete Reproductive Rights encroach and override Basic Human Rights, transforming the decadent democracies into de facto regimes of Extreme Populism, Anarchy, Illegalism, Oligarchy & Tyranny ....
In the future, most likely, even fewer countries and smaller populations than today will be able to obtain & maintain high standards of living, provided that they manage to sustain robust, technologically advanced and fiscally+monetarily disciplined economies, secured energy self-sufficiency/accessibility, demographic sustainability along with social security and geopolitical stability with effective control & regulation of the migration influx and its intensifying impact and destabilizing potential on the function of the, so to say, 'developed' economies and societies, and presuming that a global catastrophe like a nuclear war or a galactic "accident" would not eventually occur on planet Earth ....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's the People, stupid ! (15 APR 2016)
As usual, Soros just speaks out about preserving the Bubble of World Economy for as long as possible...
Who does actually care or can make a difference about next generations, peoples, people, proxy wars, clashing civilizations, migrants or refugees ? ... simply no one
The Bubble, like any bubble, has an undated, but deterministically approaching Burst Out Day .... and the World is already bankrupt in effect and long before the evolving Economic Meltdown, just because of its unregulated and unsustainable population size .....
It's the (Too Many & Stupid) People, Stupid !

I'm sharing here on Flickr a (long) series of photos, taken in early August this year, during a short vacation in Calabria, at a holiday village located near a beach I've been frequenting with my family for several years now, during our short summer vacations. The setting, however, is very different from the beaches I normally frequent near my home in Taormina, with very crowded beaches and a sea that is also very popular with yachtsmen of all kinds. In this part of Calabria, the beaches are rarely crowded (except on weekends, but not too much). In short, it's a sort of almost tropical paradise, with very little yachting. Adjacent to the holiday village is a kitesurfing club, very popular with enthusiasts of this wonderful sport, which thrives on the sea and the wind. I photographed an 84-year-old kitesurfer, whose mettle is steely, still giving athletes much younger than him a run for their money. A friendly and sweet horsewoman from the nearby stables arrived unexpectedly in the beach village, accompanied by her father, both astride two magnificent colts. This created a moment of joy and curiosity for both the parents and their little ones, who were likely seeing these magnificent and docile animals up close and personal for the first time. Unexpectedly, a very special party broke out on the beach. Seeing it made me feel like I was no longer in Calabria, but rather transported to the other side of the globe, to the Hindu festival called Holi, with its throwing of colored powders (in India, this festival marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring, as well as symbolizing the victory of good over evil). I know it thanks to the evocative photographs often published on various photography websites.
I'll end by briefly mentioning the photographic technique I've often used in my photographs. I've created "blur" photographs—blurry, slightly blurry, and unfocused—at the time of shooting, simply by lengthening the exposure time and then also using some panning. Finally, I'd like to thank the sweet and beautiful models who posed for me, allowing me to further enhance this (long-winded) photographic story.

Propongo qui su Flickr, una (lunga) serie di foto, realizzate nei primi giorni di Agosto di quest’anno, durante una mia breve vacanza in Calabria, in un villaggio vacanze sito a ridosso di una spiaggia che oramai frequento insieme alla mia famiglia, durante le nostre brevi vacanze estive, da diversi anni, fotografie quindi aventi per tema la “beach photography”; purtuttavia l’ambientazione è molto diversa rispetto alle spiagge che frequento normalmente vicino casa mia a Taormina, con spiagge molto affollate, il mare anch’esso super frequentato da diportismo nautico di ogni tipo, in questa zona della Calabria le spiagge sono invece poco frequentate (tranne il fine settimana, ma neanche troppo), insomma, una specie di Paradiso quasi tropicale, con pochissime imbarcazioni. Adiacente al villaggio vacanze c’è un club di Kitesurf, molto frequentato da appassionati di questo meraviglioso sport, sport che si nutre di mare e di vento. Ho fotografato un kitesurfer di 84 anni, la cui tempra è di acciaio, che dà ancora molto filo da torcere ad atleti molto più giovani di lui. Nel villaggio a sorpresa è arrivata una simpatica e dolce cavallerizza proveniente dal vicino maneggio, con lei anche il suo papà, entrambi a cavallo di due magnifici puledri, creando un momento di allegria e curiosità, sia per i genitori, che per i loro piccoli, per i quali, molto probabilmente, era la prima volta che potevano vedere da vicino, e poterli anche toccare, questi magnifici e docili animali. A sorpresa, inaspettatamente, sulla spiaggia ha preso vita un party molto particolare, nel vederlo mi sembrava di non essere più in Calabria, ma di essere stato proiettato dall’altro lato del globo, in quella festa Indù chiamata Holi, con lancio di polveri colorate (in India questa festa segna la fine dell'inverno e l'arrivo della primavera, oltre a simboleggiare la vittoria del bene sul male), festa che conosco grazie a fotografie molto suggestive spesso pubblicate sui vari siti fotografici.
Termino accennando brevemente alla tecnica fotografica che ho spesso adottato nel realizzare le mie fotografie, ho realizzato al momento dello scatto fotografie del tipo “blur”, cioè mosse, un po’ confuse, non incise, ottenute allungando i tempi di esposizione. Infine ringrazio le dolcissime e belle modelle, che hanno voluto posare per me, consentendomi di rendere più grazioso questo mio (prolisso) racconto fotografico.

Taking it easy on a Friday evening, a pair of aged workhorses trundle their way home to Preston along the Fergus spur. Mile 27 sits just about one quarter mile west of the former settlement of Gourock. Originally founded circa 1857 just after the building of the Galt & Guelph Railway (leased to the Great Western upon completion), the settlement included a post office, general store, and a flag stop on the railway, but little else. The post office ceased to be in 1913, and the flag stop too was gone shortly after, not shown in the 1920 Grand Trunk Railway timetables. Any inhabitants made their way north to Guelph, and some a few miles south to the lime quarry town at Glen Christie.
The morning of September 22, 1906 saw a fatal head on collision at Gourock within a few hundred feet of the photo linked above. An extra train loaded with fruit from St. Catharines had failed to take the siding at Hespeler to clear the main for train 44, the mixed from Guelph. Neither crew saw the oncoming train until just a few hundred feet from impact. Engineer Thomas Farley on #44 was crushed in the cab, his fireman, Lorne Palmer, jumped clear. On the extra, engineer Mark Reid, brakeman Harry Andrews, and fireman Cecil Bright all jumped, suffering full body scalding and Cecil suffering numerous broken bones. All were transported to Guelph for medical care. Reid and Andrews would recover, while Cecil Bright succumbed to his injuries at Guelph General Hospital on September 25. The ten passengers onboard 44 sustained only minor injuries. Factors of the wreck included crew fatigue and working hours as the conductor of the extra, Joe Thompson, had fallen asleep after being on duty for twenty two hours, and his exhausted engineer had forgotten a meet was imminent.
Some scenes of the Gourock Wreck:
North side of the tracks facing east,
South side of tracks facing east. Note the curve from Steve's photo just above the wrecking cranes.
*Thanks to the late Wellington County historian, Stephen Thorning, (1949 - 2015) for extensive information regarding the wreck.

Thanksgiving Day is still more than a week into the future, but this San Luis Obispo store is already in a Christmas mood!...
The Ah Louis Store was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (ref# 08000203) on March 26, 2008.
Ah Louis (1840-1936), a.k.a. Wong On, was a Chinese immigrant who was an important figure in the community.
Built after the Civil War to take advantage of the traffic along the Santa Fe Trail, Simmons Point Stage Station obviously is in disrepair and will soon be a pile of rubble.
This picture shows how much this building has deteriorated in in five years. . This photo was taken sometime in the mid 90s.

I'll end by briefly mentioning the photographic technique I've often used in my photographs. I've created "blur" photographs—blurry, slightly blurry, and unfocused—at the time of shooting, simply by lengthening the exposure time and then also using some panning. Finally, I'd like to thank the sweet and beautiful models who posed for me, allowing me to further enhance this (long-winded) photographic story.

Propongo qui su Flickr, una (lunga) serie di foto, realizzate nei primi giorni di Agosto di quest’anno, durante una mia breve vacanza in Calabria, in un villaggio vacanze sito a ridosso di una spiaggia che oramai frequento insieme alla mia famiglia, durante le nostre brevi vacanze estive, da diversi anni, fotografie quindi aventi per tema la “beach photography”; purtuttavia l’ambientazione è molto diversa rispetto alle spiagge che frequento normalmente vicino casa mia a Taormina, con spiagge molto affollate, il mare anch’esso super frequentato da diportismo nautico di ogni tipo, in questa zona della Calabria le spiagge sono invece poco frequentate (tranne il fine settimana, ma neanche troppo), insomma, una specie di Paradiso quasi tropicale, con pochissime imbarcazioni. Adiacente al villaggio vacanze c’è un club di Kitesurf, molto frequentato da appassionati di questo meraviglioso sport, sport che si nutre di mare e di vento. Ho fotografato un kitesurfer di 84 anni, la cui tempra è di acciaio, che dà ancora molto filo da torcere ad atleti molto più giovani di lui. Nel villaggio a sorpresa è arrivata una simpatica e dolce cavallerizza proveniente dal vicino maneggio, con lei anche il suo papà, entrambi a cavallo di due magnifici puledri, creando un momento di allegria e curiosità, sia per i genitori, che per i loro piccoli, per i quali, molto probabilmente, era la prima volta che potevano vedere da vicino, e poterli anche toccare, questi magnifici e docili animali. A sorpresa, inaspettatamente, sulla spiaggia ha preso vita un party molto particolare, nel vederlo mi sembrava di non essere più in Calabria, ma di essere stato proiettato dall’altro lato del globo, in quella festa Indù chiamata Holi, con lancio di polveri colorate (in India questa festa segna la fine dell'inverno e l'arrivo della primavera, oltre a simboleggiare la vittoria del bene sul male), festa che conosco grazie a fotografie molto suggestive spesso pubblicate sui vari siti fotografici.
Termino accennando brevemente alla tecnica fotografica che ho spesso adottato nel realizzare le mie fotografie, ho realizzato al momento dello scatto fotografie del tipo “blur”, cioè mosse, un po’ confuse, non incise, ottenute allungando i tempi di esposizione. Infine ringrazio le dolcissime e belle modelle, che hanno voluto posare per me, consentendomi di rendere più grazioso questo mio (prolisso) racconto fotografico.

Im so stoked for the new season of breaking bad. the walt fig is still a wip, he needs glasses and his hat. but i suck at painting glasses. k. the bags of meth are about the size of a penny, and can open and close at the top, as they are made from actual ziplock bags. i cut up the bags, melted the sides shut, and cut up clear and blue peices. sorry for the bad photography of the bags. they were very difficult to get a good photo of :P i stayed up almost all night last night watching season 5 on netflix, as they just added it. the whole time, i was cutting up translucent pieces and making little bags. enjoy!

Enjoy the tranquility of this remote island which feels a world away from the rest of the Grid. Spend time on the secluded beach or take a stroll on the moors. Visit the isolated church on top of the hill and enjoy some reflective time alone.

Continuing my Titanfall 2 builds, I can present to you the ridiculously hard-hitting Titan Legion.
Legion is the first Titan I build, which is based on the heavy Ogre chassis from the first game. This allowed me to use some sturdier joints and hinges, which comes in handy to hold the big gatling gun.
I also did some minor changes to Ion, updated his pictures and added one of his back.
Since this is my last build for this year, I just want to use this opportunity to say: THANK YOU! :)
2016 marks my first really active year on flickr and I was absolutely blown away by the amazing feedback!
I want to thank all the people who visited my Photostream, who commented, who added my pictures to their favourites and especially my followers and the people who take their time to read all of the nonsense I write :D
I truly appreciate being part of such a great and active community!
I wish you all happy holidays and a wonderful start into the new year!
UPDATE: I added pictures of him without the baseplate.

**Augusta Canal Industrial District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 71000285, date listed 5/27/1971
Along the west bank of the Savannah River from the Richmond-Columbia county line to 10th and Fenwick Sts.
GA (Columbia County)
A National Historic Landmark (www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalhistoriclandmarks/list-of-nh...).
The Augusta Canal is a nine-mile power and water-supply canal paralleling the Georgia banks of the Savannah River. Approximately half of its course is through wilderness, which may become a park, and the remainder passes through and provides interest for downtown Augusta. It originates at a Lock and Dam, stretches past Lake Olmstead, and then winds through downtown Augusta before rejoining the Savannah River. From the point of origin, its overall fall is 45 feet divided among three levels.
Originally the Canal was five feet deep, 20 feet wide at the bottom and 40 feet at surface. A low dam (800 feet in length) made of timber and stone turned water into the Canal. The water flow was regulated by a stone guard-wall containing six gates. Boats passed into the Canal through a stone located at the juncture of the dam and guard-wall. Water was let into the first level on November 23, 1846.
The history of the Augusta Canal and the history of Augusta are closely linked. Augusta, located along the Fall Line, was established in 1735 and prospered due to the income available from Savannah River trading traffic. However, with the coming of the railroads in the 1830's, river traffic began to dwindle and a few public-minded citizens feared for Augusta's future. Col Henry H. Cumming, a leading attorney and citizen, studied ways to use Savannah River water power and along with several Augusta banks and citizens urged the construction of a canal to provide power for factories and a plentiful supply of water for the city. Surveying was begun in 1844 and by November 23, 1846, water was flooded into the first level. (1)

- / PICTOU / JY 31 / 1847 / N S / - in black ink - earliest date possible for this two part-circle serif letter dated instrument - 27 December 1842 - MacDonald (#129).
- arrived at - / PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND / AU 1 / 1847 / - in black ink - two part-circle serif letter dated instrument.
Addressed to - Mr. John Ings / Charlottetown / P.E.I.
John Ings [1815-1907]
His wife - Mary Jane Yeo [1825-1898]
Although the "Islander" had been published since 1842, John Ings first published the newspaper from the 108 Water Street location in 1847. It was a general newspaper but with a Conservative viewpoint. His paper rivalled the Liberal inclined, "Examiner" in its political views. The "Islander" was published from this site every Friday until 1873, when Ings retired. LINK to a photo of the building - s3.amazonaws.com/gs-waymarking-images/d072b462-e7cc-40b2-...
This elegant portrait looks like a photograph of a painting (and it may well be) but the item in the collection is a delicate glass negative that must be handled with extreme care! Sir Francis Richard Cruise appears to have been a Victorian gentleman from his dress but that is all that I can say about him. Who was he and why is he in the Irish Political Figures collection?
Sincere apologies from Evening Mary. This one slipped through my wriggling, jam-packed net. Our catalogue led us astray, saying that the above gentleman was Sir Francis Cruise. Thankfully our neighbours at No. 6 Kildare Street – the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland – steered us correctly. This is actually Sir Dominic Corrigan, President of the RCPI from 1859-1864...

After Ronin , I finished my second Titan from Titanfall 2: Northstar
Of all the Titans from Titanfall 2 Northstar is, in my opinion, the most unique looking.
This nimble Titan is also the only one who is able to fly, so I depicted it hovering.
The most difficult part was probably the eye, but I am really happy with how it turned out.
Here is a reference picture reference picture
Hope you like it!

The Panther was a response to the Soviet T34.
This tank was produced post-war under British supervision in Hanover from parts available. Chassis is a late model with the turret a recycled early model.

Paint job is anothe oddity - Bonigton page says it's undercoat with added camoflage scheme from available paint.
Sources vary - possibly this paint job is a restoration oddity and not seen on the tank as produced.
