That certainly does not describe my vintage sign shooting accomplishments, but there are many out there, like my contacts, that get that job done right.
In any case, I do head out when I can and see what's left to be seen. This cool, old motel sign in Stockton, Ca. still lights up, too. I met the owners while snapping this and they became happy as a lark when they realized that it was their nifty sign I was photographing. Before that, I believe they thought I was the IRS or something.
Anyway, thanks for having a look!
With 13 cars pulling on the drawbars of the 2 GP39-2s, Blue Ridge Southern T59 tackles the 4% ruling grade of Balsam on their journey back to Canton, NC. This portion of the Murphy Branch is not often documented due to its inaccessible & the commitment needed to document it, along with the fact that this job would, at least before Evergreen in Canton shut down, only run west of Waynesville on an as-needed basis. On this day though, I happened to be real lucky in that they were delivering 5 new-to-them passenger coaches to Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, so they would all the way to the end of their trackage in Sylva along with working a couple of customers this side of Balsam. Getting to document an ascent up the mountain at several locations was quite the experience seeing the grade, rock cuts, cliff hugging & bridges as I listened to the 2 turbocharged 645 prime movers puke their guts out. While this was happening, I thought to myself how despite having a ruling gradient of 4%, & it is definitely 4% from what I could see along the back roads & hiking, this is still only the SECOND STEEPEST grade on the famed Southern Railway Murphy Branch. Just another reason why this branch became so famous & popular to document among railfans. 1-16-23
De petit problème de santé et autre engagement sociaux, me prive d'une présence plus active sur vos galeries et la mienne... veuillez m’en excuser...
Small health problems and other social commitment, deprives me of a more active presence in your galleries and mine ... and I apologize ...
I apologise for not contributing anything to Flickr for a few days. Sometimes life just gets too busy.
A pair of Arriva Trains Wales Class 142 'Pacer' multiple units heads towards Cardiff Queen Street station on Saturday 9th January 2016. I was waiting, along with many other people, to gain access to the building just out of view on the right. Unfortunately the security guard had failed to turn up at the appointed time to open up, so naturally I grasped the opportunity for some railway photography.
Incidentally, I didn't plan to get these passers-by in the shot; they just happened to be there at the moment the 'Pacer' rolled past.

The color red symbolizes romantic love and passion. Because they are perennial flowers, the red lily also represents romantic commitment, devotion, and everlasting love.
The Corktown Footbridge, also referred to as the Somerset Street bridge or simply the Somerset Bridge, is a footbridge in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada built across the Rideau Canal. The 70-metre bridge is located about 400m south of the Laurier Avenue Bridge. It was opened on September 21, 2006.
The act of tying a bow with the feet is a central, symbolic element of the traditional son jarocho dance known as "La Bamba".
The dance is a courtship ritual, often performed at weddings, where the act of the couple successfully tying the red sash (ribbon) into a bow with their feet symbolizes their love, unity, and commitment.

One 15 minute slot to get an image this week, weather and other commitments made the window of opportunity very small. Standing up here watching the sun set, even while getting the shot, was a very nice moment of peace and serenity.

Maybe being together is just from habit. Perhaps the habit is just comfortable and you both grow weary together accepting all that comes your way. Perhaps we just don't have the energy to make changes. Best yet, maybe we just belong together no matter what.
Happy Fence Friday
*Working Towards a Better World
The easy ones are love and romance, it is the commitment that so many seem to stumble with. The commitment is the part that keeps the family together and creates a strong base and happy upbringing for the children. Today it seems to be easier than ever to separate and divorce, perhaps couples need to work harder at trying to make things work? I know that in some instances there is no return, but there are many more who could work a little harder and find common ground! Whenever you have the opportunity try and help those couples who can make it together forever.

Giant Swallowtail Butterfly
I was longing for that magic Springtime feeling I always get at Butterfly Jungle, and remembered I had some photos I’d gotten last year. I was only able to visit once, due to other commitments and concerns, and hadn’t even had time to sort through and edit them. Though there were only a few, seeing them now brings back the joy of being in their midst, with all the beautiful colors and angelic wings fluttering by!

SOUTH CHINA SEA (Oct. 5, 2022) An Australian MH-60R Seahawk, attached to Royal Australian Navy Anzac-class frigate HMAS Arunta (FFH 151), departs the flight deck aboard Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Higgins (DDG 76) while conducting multi-lateral operations in the South China Sea.

Exercises like this reassure our allies and partners of our combined commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Donavan K.

This was an awful night for weather and I was really impressed with Nicola's commitment to the shoot (it wasn't warm and it wasn't dry). This was my first time working with a fantastic MUA, Nikki Jenkins she has really created the perfect look for this shot. Credit and thanks to Nicola and Nikki for making this shot possible.

I've been wanting to catch CSX 1851 (the Nashville, Chattanooga, & St. Louis heritage locomotive) leading a train since it was first unveiled in September 2024. Today was finally my lucky day as I got word that it would be on the point of hot intermodal I025. Here we see the train approaching Foster Street on the last leg of the Evansville, Indiana to Nashville portion of its run. Following a crew change, the train will continue southward with the next two legs of its run being over the original N&C main line to Chattanooga and the W&A Sub (which the N&C and its successors have leased from the state of Georgia since 1890) to Atlanta.
The 1851 wears a paint scheme inspired by the N.C.&St.L.'s maroon and yellow freight locomotive scheme (the N & C's passenger locomotives wore a scheme of blue and gray). While Nashville was home to the headquarters of the N.C.&St.L. (the road's general office stood at 930 West Broadway (now the site of the Holiday Inn Express Nashville Downtown)) and major repair shop (near where Interstate 440 crosses Charlotte Avenue in West Nashville), work commitments prevented me from being able to photograph the train on ex-N&C rails. I had to settle for this shot on the southernmost portion of the original L&N main line from Louisville.

I dedicate this image to Jay Daley for his effort and commitment on arriving on location at 7am, befriending a security guard (that looked like Pauly from Rockie) and then managed to get a special area roped off exclusively for us!
Great night out with the focus group with plenty of laughs and not a lot of drinking which makes for a great news years day.
This was taken through the sixth floor window of an abandoned and deteriorating building on the East side of Cleveland. I remember it was such a beautiful day to go urban exploring.
Cleveland has always been like a second home for me. I grew up about 45 minutes south in the farmlands of NE Ohio.
The title of this one is what I think of when I think of Cleveland. The natives from the city and surrounding areas are very proud, committed, strong and hardworking people.
