半年くらいぶりにPSO2行ってみたらTOKYOステージができてました。基本Lo-fiなのに写真ベースのテクスでできたマップが妙に生々しくてドキドキしてしまった・・・・・・
週末で怖いくらい人のいない千代田区あたりのオフィス街に迷い込んだコスプレイヤーみたいな、うっすらとした非日常と白日夢感。
久しぶりにちょっとワクワクしたのでSS撮りました

Photo taken by Bunny Dever, Hot Springs, Arkansas, in 1967
Two emergency ambulance attendants from the Gross Mortuary, 1017 Central Avenue, Hot Springs, Arkansas, hurry a critically injured man into an awaiting 1966 white Pontiac Consort ambulance in Hot Springs in 1967.
In the days before paramedics, backboards, and splinting, the goal of good ambulance service back then was hurry to the scene and quickly "load and go."
Even at that, Gross Mortuary operated an excellent 24 / 7 ambulance service, giving prompt, careful care to thousands of Hot Springs residents from 1909 to July 31, 1974 when it ended its ambulance service.
This accident occurred on East Grand Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The injured man's young son later died in nearby Quachita Hospital (now closed). This compelling action (copyrighted) picture was taken by Bill (Bunny) Dever of Hot Springs, a skilled commercial police photographer and a good friend of mine for many years. His great pictures give a glympse of funeral home-operated ambulance services in the 1960s - 1970s.
The ambulance pictured above was a Pontiac Consort ambulance made by Superior. A Consort ambulance had no dividing wall between and driver and the rear patient area. The ambulance was actually designed to hold three patients on stretchers! Two stretchers (one a wheeled stretcher and the other a folding cot) could fit easily side by side on the ambulance floor, and a third folding stretcher could be suspended from the ceiling.
It had a (very loud) Federal Q2 siren, four alternating red bullet lights on the four roof corners, and a giant red beaconray in the center of the roof.
This ambulance, known as "Gross 6," served Hot Springs faithfully from 1966 to 1970 when it was replaced by a bright yellow Superior Van ambulance. Gross Mortuary ended ambulance service July 31, 1974.
Note that the two attendants are lifting the stretcher into the ambulance -- now days, paramedics use so-called one-man stretchers which fold up into the ambulance without having to be lifted, sissies.

The picnic area here is in front of Fort Popham in Phippsburg, Maine. This view is actually the back side the the fort which faces the Kennebec River. It was constructed at the time of the American Civil War but was never completed by addition of another tier because it was realized that these stone forts were easily penetrated by rifled artillery. Parkas are optional.

Hverir Geothermal Area, like almost everything in Iceland, has a volcanic origin. Hverir is a geothermal place under the Namafjall mountain. At a depth of 1000 meters, the temperature is above 200°C. The water that flows below the surface is quickly heated and comes back to the surface transformed into steam.
The place is plenty of bubbling mud pools, hissing fumaroles, and cracked colorful grounds.
The fumaroles gas contains hydrogen sulfide that causes a characteristic smell of rotten eggs.

About:
Yeah, yeah, I know... another shot from Peggy's Cove! Well at least this is from a spot you don't see often, in fact I've never bothered to stop here to take a picture but the sky was too good to pass up.
This spot is right off the road about a mile or so before the turn off to lighthouse you see from me so often. It is a pretty neat area though. It reminds me some kind of barren tundra you might see way up north.
I think this spot will look nice when it's covered in snow with the water peeking through. We might be getting our first big snow fall of the year here tomorrow night. Somewhere between 6" a to a foot in total depending on which forecast you listen to. At any rate I will definitely get out with the camera if we do get snow. I'm always amazed how just an inch or two of snow can completely change the way a landscape looks.
Please, no invites or crazy glittery graphics. Just a simple comment is nice.
Thank You

This stunning late afternoon view was taken across the valley from Santa Fe, looking north. One of my favorite things about the area were these wonderful afternoon clouds that seemed to stretch on forever (and sometimes were associated with impressive thunder and lightning!)
