West Tennessee's Fulton Turn (T92) departs its namesake city one grade crossing north of the Kentucky-Tennessee state line, headed for the ex-GM&O Iselin yard at Jackson, TN. In the lead are ex-CR B23-7s #3172 and #4072, followed by ex-SP B30-7 #7855, which came to the WTNN via the Nashville and Eastern. First time I've seen the 7855 on a train.
Note the NS-style station sign for Fulton Junction; former crossing of two IC lines. NS purchased the Fulton - Jackson - Corinth line from ICG in 1988 and leased it to the WTNN in 2001. Unfortunately, the deactivated NS signal is hidden by an overachieving tree...and I forgot to bring a chain saw.
The Bates Manufacturing Company was established in Lewiston, Maine in 1850 by Benjamin Bates. It quickly became one of the largest textile manufacturers in New England and transformed Lewiston from a struggling agricultural town into a booming industrial city. By 1857, the Bates Mill in Lewiston ran 36,000 spindles, employed 1,000 hands, and annually turned out 5.7 million yards of the best quality of cotton goods. Even after winning multiple achievements and awards for his textiles, including “Best Pantaloon Stuffs” and “Best Plain and Fancy Cotton Fabrics”, Bates wanted more. Accordingly, in 1858 the Bates Manufacturing Company wove the first Bates bedspread.
Upon the start of the Civil War, most New England mills started selling their cotton stock, assuming that the war would only last 90 days. Instead, Benjamin Bates bought as much cotton as he could find (despite the skyrocketing prices) and became the main supplier of Union textiles during the 4 year war. Even afterward, despite post-war depression, the Bates Manufacturing Company prospered and continued to expand. It was at this time that the French-Canadian population began to immigrate to Lewiston for work; even today the city of Lewiston continues to have a great French-Canadian influence (and many of the current mill workers have French-Canadian ancestors that began their American lives as mill workers).[Company website].
Lewiston is also the home of Bates College co-founded by Benjamin Bates.
The last wild Griswold in the state of Iowa that I'm aware of, protecting an abandoned Iowa Traction line at 15th St NE in Mason City.
A grateful thank you to all those who fought and are fighting now, (including my dad in World War 11.) We are here and safe because of you.
It's 41c here today.

You are in the dark of the night, enjoying the Perseids, when suddenly this fellow pops up behind you. Didn't mind the company and neither did she. Take care buddy, I'm sure we'll meet again some night.
This American Bald Eagle has a dinning companion who waits patiently for leftovers which may drift away in the water.

Kauai Coffee Company is Hawaii's largest coffee grower, with 3,400 acres under cultivation on our estate near Koloa, on the southwest side of the Garden Island of Kauai. Near here, over 150 years ago, Hawaii's first commercial coffee plantation was planted. Today, the rich volcanic soil, abundant mountain water, warm Pacific sun, and cool tradewinds combine to provide the perfect microclimate for a truly world-class estate coffee.

Vintage Olympus Zuiko OM 4.0 200mm with 25mm extension ring on Sony A/RII, stop 5.6
Some technical informations:
A simple construction: Zuiko OM 4.0 200mm has just 5 lenses in 4 groups, but it delivers a fine bokeh with its 8 blades, great Olympus typical colors and an impressing sharpness. To compensate the nearest possible distance of 2,5 m, I mounted the extension ring.

The Company Store - It was the general store where the miners and their families bought food, clothes, etc. The cost came off the miner's pay check before they actually got paid for their work.
