Continuing my quest to find and make interesting images of folk on their mobile devices. This one took several (dozen) attempts before I got anything like what I was after
Continuing our trip south we made a stop at the ever beautiful Monument Valley Tribal Park. This view of the "Mittens" was another reminder to wear my gloves in the 15-20 degree F. weather!

i picked some of the berries before they were totally ripe to save them from slugs, but the harvest is better than i thought so far :)
This beauty is a Falcon Miniature camera originally made by the Utility Manufacturing Company beginning around 1939...they are simple cameras made of Bakelite and where badged under several different names during their run. I have several of these in my collection, two Falcon's, a Miniature Remington camera, and a Photo Master.
The Utility Manufacturing Company was eventually taken over by the Spartus Company and these simple 127 cameras continued to be produced for many years. These cameras appear to be modeled after the Argus A 35mm cameras but the Argus A's were much better cameras...I have several of these in my collection too.
The Falcon Miniature is a fun camera to shoot and if you like the Lomography style of photography these will definitely appeal to you. They shoot 127 film, which is still available online from several film retailers. I find these at Estates sales from time to time and I always pick them up if they are in decent condition. This one, as you can see came with the original box and the original instruction manual.
Union Pacific SD70M 2002 leads the I-G2G2 shuttle through Elmhurst on a sunny morning along the Geneva Subdivision. Westbounds in the morning aren't the best to shoot light-wise unless you go wide and to the side.
The games were held in Salt Lake in 2002 and the reminders of that time continue to roll across the Midwest in fresh paint, thanks to some nice folks at Union Pacific.
This is continued shot from Portland Bill. The sky that day made me get dark and freaky with my verotrama's. I love this place, the rocks and sea have Soooooooooooo much power. :-)
Barbara and I have gotten personalized Christmas Ornaments since the 70's. For the last few years we have gotten them in Pigeon Forge, TN. Christmas is a big time at our house, even though it is just the two of us. Yesterday, being the first Saturday of December, was the day to go to one of the local tree farms and pick out our Christmas Tree. The farmers cut them for you, so it is nice and fresh.
During the next couple weeks, everything will be removed from the mantel, curio cabinet, coffee table, window sill, piano, etc. Christmas decorations will replace everything removed. Barbara and I made many of the decorations from ceramics. Dozens of stuffed animals will fill the living room. Barbara's little girl Bride Doll and her electric train will go under the tree. The train is almost 60 years old and still runs fine. Yes, Chistmas is a big time at our house.
Continuing the theme of prairie weather... and a shot from last summer, made with my old (1981), manual focus, non-chipped 24mm lens - therefore no lens data in the EXIF info.
After three black and white images, I'm back to colour; this one had to be in colour. That red line of sunset afterglow just above the horizon added an exquisite touch. And this was a "dry storm": that is, it wasn't raining on me, so keeping my lens dry wasn't a problem. And it wasn't directly over me, either, so I could safely shoot it without having to run for safety or dive like a gopher into a hole in the ground.
Photographing lightning after dark is relatively easy: camera on tripod, cable or remote shutter release, focus on infinity, f/8 or f/11 depending on how close the lightning is hitting (which affects the brightness of the flashes), shutter on "B", hold open and wait for lightning to strike. Single strike or multiple strikes? Your choice. Stacking frames to include multiple strikes is an option in processing. Holding the shutter open for more than about a minute often leads to an amorphous glow on the clouds, so if I don't have a strike by then I generally move on to the next frame.
Safety notes: This is dangerous business. Stay away from fences and trees. Lightning can travel great distances along a barbed wire fence. And your tripod makes an excellent lightning rod. I shot this from my car but am under no illusion of safety; contrary to popular belief the rubber tires do not offer any protection. The car's metal frame does, but if you are in the car touching any metal parts, you can get zapped. Beware of any storm that's coming toward you, and never shoot a storm that is too close. This storm was at least 10 km away, moving left to right across my field of view, so relatively safe.

We continue with rushing, whitewater photos. This was just past the drop from yesterday's photo (in Comments). That was almost mono, but there is much colour in this.

Continuing our first chase up the Rich Mountain grade we caught them again grinding up the 1.12% climb toward the summit about six miles or so ahead. This is almost exactly one mile east of the Oklahoma state line as they approach a private crossing at MP 361.4 on Kansas City Southern's Shreveport Sub deep in the Ouachita Mountains.
The MKCSH2 02 (second Kansas City to Shreveport manifest) has a nice consist of KCS 4618 (GE AC400CW blt. Dec. 1999 as KCS 2043), gray ghost KCSM 4533 (GE AC400CW blt. May. 1998 as TFM 2633)and KCS 3967 (EMD SD70MAC blt. Mar. 2000 as TFM 1667) on the head end with KCS 5023 (GE ET44AC blt. 2019) on the rear as the DPU.

[13:12] Belle Mistwallow shouts: Oh goodness heavens. It's INCREDIBLE to see each and every single one of you out here CELEBRATING our FANTASTIC, ONE OF A KIND city. It's more than just a city. It's a community. We love each other as much as we love the Moles and Lindens who invest so much time and effort to improving it on a regular basis. IF you dont live here, you should. But that's by the by. Just want to thank you all for being here, and adding to the color and vibrance of the event. Here is to 8th years and many more. NOW....PARTAAAAYYYYYY
Continuing with our "beginning to hate this winter" theme (re: last weeks photo)...Pyper has decided that the best way to get through it is to find the warmest sunbeam and dream about summer. This is pretty much how she spends her days.
Shot about 45 minutes after the previous Cover Shot photo. This train met another train at the siding just West of Tower Rd. This photo was taken at the Engel Rd crossing just West of Burlington, IL. This CSXT231 led train was highballing toward Iowa with a string of empty ethanol tanks
Continuing with my new year's resolution of more quickly publishing photos I recently took, here's a vertical panorama I took yesterday during our most recent "atmospheric river," or crazy, insane, two-day downpour for those of you who don't speak meteorology.
Why a vertical panorama in 1:2? I'm not sure, although this isn't the first panorama I've taken like this. It just felt right, I guess. But will anyone ever order a 5' tall print of this? Will anyone ever make a calendar or book in these dimensions? Probably not, although it would look great at over 8300 pixels on the long side!
Thanks for looking!
Continuing the procession of freight traffic along the Maintal route, WLC (Wiener Lokalbahnen Cargo) liveried Class 187, No.187 321 is illustrated hurrying through Himmelstadt with a rake of Wascosa branded hopper wagons Northwards.
'The oldest continuing cycle race in the world'
This prestigious event goes back to 1886 and, with the exception of the war years, has been run ever since. Traditionally on the first Sunday in October. prior to the formation of the RTTC it was considered to be the ‘Championship of All England’ and still attracts the leading 'Hill-Climb' riders from all over the country.
The challenge is Yorks Hill, a 707yd climb with an average gradient of 12.5%, with two stretches of 25%. Needing an all-out lung bursting effort.
A big thanks to Mike King for the invite , and his amazing shots are here www.flickr.com/photos/mikekingphoto/6226734933/in/photost...
This year the Providence and Worcester Railroad continued to provide their passenger train and crew for the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council's extremely popular Polar Express trains with trains running and 3:30 and 6:30 PM Fri-Sun for a total of 42 sold out trips in 2024.
The train consist is deadheading south from Worcester to begin the final weekend of performances with B39-8E 3910 (GE blt. Dec. 1987 as LMX 8534) amidst a winter wonderland scene of the first significant snow of the year. They crossing in Blackstone River near MP 17.9 on the historic original Providence and Worcester mainline just north of the Rhode Island state line. This is the 10th of 14 crossings of the Blackstone along the 43 mile line when traveling south from Worcester to Providence.
As I've told you before in previous posts the P&W is my hometown road and it is inextricably linked to the river it follows both historically and physically. The Blackstone River courses 48 miles from its headwaters near Worcester (at the confluence of the Middle River and Mill Brook) to where it flows into the Seekonk River at the headwaters of Narragansett Bay. The river drains a watershed of 640 square miles and more importantly drops 450 feet in the 48 miles. It is that drop, that made this river a pivotal point in American History.
From ririvers.org: A series of steep drops along the length of the Blackstone River provided ideal conditions for the development of water powered industry. Samuel Slater arrived in America in 1790, with managerial experience and technical knowledge of textile manufacturing in England. With the assistance of local merchants and artisans, he helped establish the first successful water-powered textile mill in America. Slater Mill was established on the Blackstone River, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. This achievement is credited with spawning the birth of America's industrial revolution. Development of the Slater textile mill catalyzed the development of water-driven technology throughout the length of the Blackstone River. By 1914 water-powered mills occupied all of the readily available dam sites in the Valley.
As the birthplace of industrial America, the need for transportation quickly arose in the valley, and between 1825 and 1828 the Blackstone Canal was constructed. The canal lasted only 20 years having been rendered obsolete by the opening of the Providence and Worcester Railroad in 1847. The railroad has proven to be a more durable method of transportation and 175 years after its opening here it is still serving the purpose for which it was built.

There were apparently only 2,000 monks in 1959.
Ganden Monastery was completely destroyed by the People's Liberation Army during the 1959 Tibetan uprising. In 1966 it was severely shelled by Red Guard artillery, and monks had to dismantle the remains. The buildings were reduced to rubble using dynamite during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76). Most of Tsongkhapa's mummified body was burned, but his skull and some ashes were saved from the fire by Bomi Rinpoche, the monk who had been forced to carry the body to the fire.
Re-building has continued since the 1980s. Early in 1996, after a ban had been imposed on pictures of the Dalai Lama, 400 monks at Ganden rioted. They were fired upon by PLA troops, apparently causing two deaths and several injuries, followed by the arrest of one hundred monks. As of 2012 there were about 400 monks, and rapid progress was being made on rebuilding the monastery. The red-painted lhakang in the centre is the reconstruction of Ganden's sanctum sanctorum containing Tsongkapa's reliquary chorten called the Tongwa Donden, "Meaningful to Behold."
Continue to the new bunch creation under the same theme of " Movie dream", everything in the movie world could become true, even it's just like in a dream.
This artwork I combined two images to express the time's moving & stillness . In a movie we can always see the time change so quickly from season to season sliently at a moment.
FEC train 111-15 is passing thru St. Augustine, FL on May 15, 2016 with the LNG test set on the point. The set has been in semi-regular service on trains 111-112 between Jacksonville and New Smryna Beach. On Sundays, 111 departs earlier than normal (Normally a nocturnal move) and is shootable in the golden light.

Continuing a series of experimental photos with a Kodak No. 2 Folding Cartridge Premo (circa 1919). All settings are mentioned as they appear on the camera. If you are lost, I suggest starting with the first photo in the corresponding album.
I was testing out the focusing. I took several photos of this scene - one at 100ft, and the other at FIXED. They both turned out relatively the same, but in this case, 100ft gave me a slightly clearer image. Moving forward, however, I may stick with FIXED.
Shutter: 50

A407 continues on northward after playing leapfrog with me several times during the day. I stopped in Gilman for some chow and a couple beers, and it got by me. No biggie, as my reason for being in the region was not train related. As I motored on I found it sitting at Ashkum awaiting a southbound, so I went to Chebanse to shoot it one more time.

Am lucky enough that the Evening Grosbeak are still visiting. It's pretty awesome. They seemed to have gathered some extra friends this morning, counted 20+ around the backyard!!!
And the archiving of my work continues. Now I am getting all of the drawings (well over a hundred), from Noёl Riley Fitch and my book “Paris Café: The Sélect Crowd,” labelled and in order. They were done in sketchbooks between 1995 and 2007. My sketchbooks are dated and numbered. Luckily, I put the sketchbook number on the back of the drawings. They had been cut out. So, it was very easy to find the year each drawing was done. Still more to do…..

Continuing on from the calm conditions of the previous image, this is literally a couple of hundred yards away in the opposite direction. This is why this area is so popular with photographers, a fresh image every few steps.
Continuing my theme of waterfalls and mountains ........this has the ridge of the Snowdonia range in the background
Continuing female at this location, although it seems to be reported much less frequently than the male that is also here. Very small oriole! It seemed to be the same size as a House Sparrow that it perched right next to!

Folks, if God (and the doctors) continue to grace me with improving health, I will attend the 2021 Copshaholm Concours this coming Saturday. It's a compact venue with very little walking.
The July 13, 2019 Copshaholm Concours at the Copshaholm Estate in South Bend, Indiana. This was the second year for the event and a superb selection of cars was on display.

...for one last day.
Good morning everyone and Happy Dragonfly Thursday. Featured today is a series on newly emerged Halloween Pennant (Celithemis eponina), usually the last of the three Pennant species found here locally to emerge each Spring.
As for these photos, they're a combination of both gender, with the above being a male, and all were taken at "tick city" at the reclaimed strip mine. And both gender when newly emerged look essentially the same. As with newly emerged Calico Pennants, the best way to distinguish between the two is by the length of the cerci at the end of the abdomen, which are longer on males, plus the last few segments tend to be narrower on males also.
Of the three species of local Pennant dragonflies the Halloween is the largest at approximately 1.5 inches in length (3.8 cm) versus both the Calico and Banded Pennants which range between 1.1 - 1.3 inches (2.5 - 3 cm).
As always, don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the additional pics in the comment section. Even better, scroll through them by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to view any picture in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find the full text describing this species of dragonfly.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.
