I really don't know anything about this photo -- no idea when it was taken, or where ...
Note the shadow of the mysterious photographer. And note that, once again, she seems to be holding the camera at waist level ...
*********************************
To the best of my knowledge, most of the photos in this Flickr album were taken by my grandmother, Mabel Yourdon, during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Most of them depict scenes of everyday life in mining camps and small towns near the Utah-Colorado border. Some of them show hunting, fishing, and camping trips in unspecified parts of the American west. It appears that a few of them were taken in southern California, when Mabel and her husband Ike traveled out there to visit relatives.
I have no idea what kind of camera Mabel used for these photos, nor what kind of film. There probably wasn’t that much variety available in the 1920s, and she was not a “professional” photographer. So it may have been a Brownie and whatever B/W film Kodak was selling at the time.
My stepfather, Ray Yourdon, was born in 1922; and his older brother, Marvin, was born two years before that. You’ll see photos of Ray and Marvin when they were young boys, when they were in high school, and when they went off to join the Navy and the Marines to fight in World War II.
Somewhere around 2005, I asked Ray if he could tell me the details of some of the photos; where possible, I have included those details in the notes for the photos. Some of the photos obviously evoked pleasant memories, and I heard stories about minor day-to-day events in his life that I had never heard before. But we rarely got through more than a few pictures before he ran out of energy; and so many of the photos have no explanation at all.
At this point, my parents and grandparents are all gone. I have cousins who grew up in the same area where these photos were taken, and one or two of them are still in that area. They may be able to fill in a few of the details; otherwise, you’ll just have to accept these photos as a glimpse of what life was like nearly a hundred years ago ...
This lucky old bucket has nothing to do but lounge around my property all day. Here he's seen meditating in the late afternoon sunlight. Like me, he likes to start out slow and taper off.

This was the other costume I wanted to do for the Halloween shoot. Yeah, yeah played out but it was one of my bucket list items to do. We first tried the blonde look to see how that work followed by the black china cut wig (as previously photographed).
A lot of fun for this outfit shoot. Might do another rendition in the near future 💅 💄

...because there's nothing better than bucket wagons.
I'm not even sure that's their real names........

Bucket List Shot... Almost. We had a great photography class today. After which I took the kids out to the beach to chase the sunset. One of my "bucket list" shots has always been to capture a silhouette of a wide open cast net with a fiery sunset behind it. The sunset wasn't quite what I hoped for, but this one was a fair start toward the bucket list :).

Running as the C731, this BNSF coal buckets is running 1 x 1 up the CN at Odin, IL in a steady drizzle, with Grinstein MAC #9671 pushing on the rear. The train backed onto the CN from the BNSF yard at Centralia, then headed north up main one to Sandoval Junction, with the A431 to Decatur hot on his tail, running up main 2.
This train will turn east for Lis, IL at Effingham, then head down the spur to Vistra's Newton Power Plant. Newton is fortunate in that it will remain open for the time being; at least four other power stations in downstate Illinois are slated to be closed, including Coffeen, Canton, Havana, and Hennipin.
Note the removed crossing with CSX's (ex-B&O) Illinois Subdivision, between the signals. The line has been shut down since 2015 and will likely never see another train as a CSX property. Rumors abound as to its future.
Thanks to WR for the train symbol.
My neighbour's farmyard is a treasure trove of rusting metal, so for your delectation, and for the purposes of WAH 21/05/21 : Stuff In The Yard I present, the Bucket.
Tripod-mounted with a Kood ND8 and a polariser in unseasonal driving rain. The things we do for *CoughCough* Art... ;-)
You've probably never heard of this variety. That's because I named it myself. It sounds crazy, but one of my goals this summer was to get a good shot of a dragonfly. Those elusive little buggers don't stay still very long.
The park where we are staying now has no shortage of them, so dragonfly shot --CHECK!
