Working with a three man crew, the AF4 heads back north after working multiple industries including Kingsbury, Pigfeed, and interchange with the CN at Stillwell. Here the Chicago South Shore Kingsbury local is seen passing by the pond in La Porte as the sun begins to set. Big thanks to the conductor on the job for giving us a run down of the day's work.
Really need to view this large

I think Flickr's sharpening, which is undoubtedly part of their resizing algorithm, causes some artifacts in particular cases, like slightly ragged diagonal lines as you can see here at low resolutions. Can't think of any other reason.

On my way to a store this morning I noticed big fluffy dark smokin' clouds more than 10 kilometers to my left while eventually heading to the same direction. The road was blocked and it was obviously it became clear something was on fire. While moving closer I saw this big crane smoking, producing an enormous amount of fire and smoke like you can see here. I didn't want to bother anyone - actually I'm not the kind of disaster-tourist, really- but I just grabbed my camera almost automatically and needed to take a series of shots for future reference and - of course - for some new and hopefully exiting post-processing experiments.

A single 200mm shot post-processed in Photoshop. Really not much processing actually. I just added a bit more red and locally painted-in slightly more contrast.

The theme of my weekend was MOODLE and INTRO to CSS. Saturday am woke up at 4am burning with the desire to record my top ten tips for new edna Groups users. Shared it in the edna Group Owners forum and will work up a blog post soon.
Saturday night watched a great series of how to videos from the Moodleman himself Julian Ridden on how to create a Moodle template.
Tonight, I dug in and gave it a go. This is NOT the finished product, it's where I had to stop for tonight. I had a fantastic time learning and love, love, love Firebug, Dreamweaver, Filezilla and Gimp in concert. Also LOVE Colour Picker. (Yes I know Dreamweaver can FTP, no I haven't set it up yet cuz I was impatient.)
DOM = document object model (everything on a single web page *document* everything on that page is an object. Colour picker can spit back a palette of a web.

Seeing a South Shore 800 was always a treat for me. The CSS&SB's version of the Little Joe was massive, powerful, and sleek. It didn't make any difference if it was moving or standing still, the 800's were hard to beat.
