First idea of a "connection" was two connected carts of a freight train. But after trying too long to get a decent photo of that I gave up and focused on the most important connection. The unbroken chain that built this somewhat broken civilisation.

meaningful connection fills my heart. small talk saps my energy. intimate gatherings feed me. large parties drain me. this pattern holds online, as well. when i intentionally comment and build relationships, i'm filled. when i mindlessly (or doggedly) comment, i'm drained. dear flickr friends, i care about your lives--your joys, struggles, dreams, disappointments, and insights. i care about you equally on the good days and the bad days. i care about you whether you're online or unplugged. our meaningful connection (in any form) makes me happy.

Continuing yesterday's series on the CA&E Cook County branch (which left the mainline at Bellwood and extended to the Mt. Carmel cemetery two miles away). This branch ran along Mannheim Road for several blocks. A portion of the branch was one of several segments of the CA&E retained for freight service after abandonment in 1959. The IHB took over some of the trackage, and the IC also built a connection down to it from their line that passed overhead..
The trackage was taken out of service in 1986- when I took these photos that year, construction was underway removing the old grade crossing across Mannheim and cutting new driveways across the branch. This view looks south under the IC overpass.
Also, check out this great set of 1980 photos on the branch from the Great Third Rail website: www.greatthirdrail.org/routes/mt_carmel.html
From my kayak, on Florida Bay. I love the mangrove prop roots. Each tree, sends out many prop roots. They all intertwine, and no one can tell where one tree ends and another begins. Such a lovely sense of community and connection. Taken just before sunset, with the golden late in the day rays on these roots and the water reflections.
As always, all critical feedback is very welcome. I'm trying to improve my composition skills and my photography skills (taking and processing).

My friend Amy and her girls. Could they be any more precious? This was taken with my strobe reflected off the white wall... my diffuser was broken. :(

ENGLISH
The wire, this great enemy of the photographer. In how many photos of landscapes I must to erase those ugly overhead wires that crossed them fromf end to end! And in towns, looking for impossible frames to avoid the wire handfuls that go from a house to another one crossing the square in front of the church. Luck we have of the digital photography, that facilitates the work to us to eliminate the annoying.
And then in the old walls of the old houses, those frightful coupling boxes from which they leave wires in all directions. I say that could disguise them a little more.
But the limit is when they try to put the wire in a house and perforate in the showiest part of the facade, in a voussoir of the arc of the fore door, like in the photo of above. Was no another better place by where to enter the wire? And this one is not the only perforated door arc of this town.
In Spanish, the word that it defines the connection with a network of provision like electricity, water or gas is “acometida”, that are past participle of the verb “acometer”. By chance this verb also means “to attack” or “to assault”. It will have something to do with it?
“Madam, I come to mount the attack of the telephone” would have to say the technical installer. Because mainly the worse attacks are those of the telephone. You prepare with all the care of the world the place by where they will connect you to the telephone network, and soon arrive the installer and make pass the cable where he feel like it, and if you insist on which it pass through where you want, or you pay or he refuse in round. That I say who in the case of the photo, had been easier to perforate the wood of the frame of a window that not a stone of at least 30cm. of thickness.
Anyway, thank heavens that is proliferating the wireless connections. Now lack to see how it feels to the body as much electromagnetic radiation floating in the air...

El cable, este gran enemigo del fotógrafo. ¡En cuántas fotos de paisajes he tenido que borrar esos feos cables aéreos que las cruzaban de punta a punta! Y en pueblos, buscando encuadres imposibles para evitar los manojos de cables que van de una casa a otra cruzando la plaza por delante de la iglesia. Suerte tenemos de la fotografía digital, que nos facilita la labor de eliminar lo molesto.
Y luego en las paredes de las casas viejas, esas espantosas cajas de conexión de las que parten cables en todas direcciones. Digo yo que podrían disimularlos un poco más.
Pero el colmo es cuando pretenden meter el cable en una casa y perforan en la parte más vistosa de la fachada, en una dovela del arco de la puerta principal, como en la foto de arriba. ¿No había otro sitio mejor por donde entrar el cable? Y no es éste el único arco de puerta perforado de este pueblo.
En español, la palabra que define la conexión con una red de suministro como electricidad, agua o gas es "acometida", que es participio pasado del verbo "acometer". Casualmente este verbo también significa "atacar" o "agredir". ¿Tendrá algo que ver?
"Señora, que vengo a hacerle el ataque del teléfono" tendría que decir el técnico instalador. Porque mayoritariamente las peores acometidas son las del teléfono. Tú preparas con todo el cuidado del mundo el lugar por donde te conectarán a la red telefónica, y luego llega el instalador y hace pasar el cable donde a él más le conviene, y si te empeñas en que pase por donde tú quieres, o pagas o se niega en redondo. Que digo yo que en el caso de la foto, hubiera sido más fácil perforar la madera del marco de una ventana que no una piedra de al menos 30cm. de grosor.
En fin, menos mal que van proliferando las conexiones inalámbricas. Ahora falta por ver cómo le sienta al cuerpo tanta radiación electromagnética flotando en el aire...

Some more connections and an explanation of the visor ones. You can put a visor on any three height system piece without it falling off every 2 seconds.
Positive Connections bus #344 seen on S. Canal St. in Chicago, IL. This is a late model Thomas C2 built to IL specs.
50018 Resolution begins to accelerate away from the Axminster stop on 1st July 1991 with the 16:22 Exeter to Waterloo service, which the Southern National Bristol LH, 3310 (AFJ 730T) in the foreground, working Service 31 to Bridport had been awaiting. Passengers who made the connection would have quite a characterful journey with first the Class 50 and then the Bristol LH, both being quite an audio experience, this bus type also having quite a unique ride. As an additional connection there is also a red phone box, mobiles hadn't quite made it at this date iirc.
