While in the small coastal town of Tillamook, Oregon. i decided to check out the air museum at the largest blimp WW ll building in the world . I forgot all about it when i spotted what looked like a train graveyard across the way.
I was pleasantly surprised to find this old rusting #45 steam locomotive wedged in between several decaying boxcars.
Online info. said it was a logging train built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1906, also it was moved here in Nov. 2012 to be restored in the future.
I found another old team locomotive jammed between cars of which i show later.

Discovering the beach. Somewhere in Brittany, France. This little one was taking his first steps in the sand, and his dad was showing him, or making sure he wouldn’t stumble into the pond.

I’ve got a problem. You see, about five or six years ago, I discovered the fantastically weird world of the Super Furry Animals, led by Gruff Rhys and I can’t get his songs out of my head. It was spring in the year 2000 and everywhere, things were starting to grow again. I found Mwng first while on the streets of NYC. I read in a mag that it was one of the only albums being released completely in Welsh. Intrigued, I picked this up and loved the sweet melodies the likes of I had never heard before. It didn’t sound like anything being created in North America or anywhere else for that matter.
I immediately fell in love and it was deep but it was about to get worse because soon after picking this one up, Rings Around the World (2001) came out. It felt more rock and psych influenced and immediately filled me with happiness. I had picked up the dvd edition so I was able to enjoy all my favorite songs on video like “Juxtapozed with U” where a giant microphone dances around with a video camera. If hostile aliens were about to attack Earth and I could only choose one song to play them in order to convince them to halt, I think I’d probably play this one. I don’t know how anyone could destroy such a place while a person like Gruff was living on it.
Weirdest of all in the video collection was “Receptacle for the Respectable” with it’s twisted and strange animation. It was almost like Wales was its own world the way Gruff thought. Probably the other song that changed me is “It’s Not the End of the World?” It gets stuck in my head at the most random moments and makes me smile sometimes even when that’s the last thing I feel like doing. My love grew again even more while listening to Phantom Power two years later in 2003. Gruff was clearly a man who could rock out with “Golden Retriever” and be gentle again with “Piccolo Snare” as well as “Venus and Serena.”
But nothing in heaven and Earth could prepare me for the intensity of love I’d feel after listening to 2005’s Love Kraft There are some days when I put it on in the morning and can listen to nothing else. I’ve listened to “Zoom!” on repeat for several hours. If time is a landscape, then in the desert of my days, the music has been played loud and has influenced every cell of my body to become a fan of this band as well.
Now, I should mention that I do like the newest one Hey Venus! even if I am not experiencing the same passion with it that I did for Love Kraft. I love the psych rock of “Into the Night” and “Baby Ate my Eightball” especially. But what I really wanted to talk about is Gruff.
Do you know the feeling you get when you just love music so much and you literally fall in love with songs, lyrics, melody lines. It’s like everything in this whole world could be obliterated but as long as the songs were there, you could drift along in the wasteland that was left and play it to the dead rocks and the tainted seas. It’s like, people weren’t born before this music because how could they have survived without it’s creation? Or, on the first through 7th days God created the Earth and all that other stuff but somewhere down the line, he created music and musicians and Gruff Rhys and there was much rejoicing.
Perhaps I’m going a little overboard. I’ve always been slightly over the top and melodramatic. It’s my way. When I love something, I really love it. When I dislike something, I really hate it. That’s simplified but you get the idea. Anyhow, I’m always afraid that the people behind the music are going to be snotty or full of themselves or just aloof. Then, you worry you won’t be able to connect with the music anymore on an emotional level because you’ll be thinking about how bad the interaction went.
But Gruff isn’t any of those things. He’s sweet and charming and even though he’s very much a man, he’s pretty much downright adorable. Nine times out of ten, I would rather take photos of a woman than a man. The tenth time, the man is Gruff.
I’ve always had a theory about concert photographers. There are alot of us and as the years have gone by, I’ve met more and more. They usually vary between fans of the music and people who are just doing this because they are paid to do it. But, my feeling is that if you aren’t connecting with the music, it will show. As for me, with a couple of exceptions, most of the photos I take are for bands I really love. I’ve done a couple of favors here and there but I’d say a huge percentage of the bands I take photos of, I am there on purpose.
That said, I am done with my brief (yes, brief!) autobiography of my love affair with the music of The Super Furry Animals. There are few bands that if I could I would follow around the world. Caribou is one as well as A Silver Mt. Zion. Super Furry Animals is definitely another, because they are one of the best bands of our time and undoubtedly put on one of the most thrilling live performances I’ve ever seen. So, I hope you enjoy these photos and hopefully it shows how much I love the Super Furry Animals.

ENGLISH
A legend of year 1239 tells that, at dusk from a Saturday of year 880, a great light descended from the sky, and whose brilliance left ecstatics young shepherds that contemplated the event; formidable brilliance was accompanied of beautiful angelic melody as background music. Following Saturday the children returned to the same place of the event accompanied by their parents, and the moving vision was repeated; the same it happened four following Saturdays, when it accompanied the vice-chancellor of Olesa de Montserrat, and all together stated the same and surprising stellar wonder.
The bishop, who by those then was in Manresa, would not take in having the news of the happened thing in the mountain and this one did not doubt in raising its top to verify the facts with its own eyes; in the expedition a natural cavern was discovered: Santa Cova, in whose interior they found an image of Maria with the Boy in his lap, with the face and hands of black color.
Gotmar, the bishop of Vic, did not doubt in proposing that outside transferred to Manresa; but it was as soon as to remove it from the interior of the cave, when the image became so heavy that there was no form to move it of the ground; the interpretation for the bishop was easy: the will of the Virgin was to remain in that sacred place; reason why it endorsed the divine will and it decided to construct a chapel so that Maria was venerated in the mountain of Montserrat.
According to the legend, “the Moreneta” was carved in wood burned by the effect of a ray, by the same San Lucas in Jerusalem and brought to Catalonia by San Pedro, later being deposited in the church of San Justo, to be venerated by Santa Eulalia and San Oleguer; the image, well-known like “the Jerosolimitana”, would be hidden at the beginning of century VIII because of the Muslim invasion, taking it to Montserrat, where it would be hidden in Santa Cova, remaining there hidden until the 880, year of the phenomena of the strange lights.

Una leyenda del año 1239 cuenta que, al anochecer de un sábado del año 880, una gran luz descendió del cielo, y cuyo resplandor dejó extasiados a unos pastorcillos que contemplaron el suceso; el formidable resplandor estaba acompañado de una bella melodía angelical como música de fondo. El sábado siguiente los niños regresaron al mismo lugar del suceso acompañados de sus padres, y la sobrecogedora visión se repitió; lo mismo sucedió los cuatro sábados siguientes, cuando les acompañó el rector de Olesa de Montserrat, y todos juntos constataron la misma y sorprendente maravilla estelar.
El obispo, que por aquellos entonces se hallaba en Manresa, no tardaría en tener noticias de lo ocurrido en la montaña y éste no dudó en subir a su cima para comprobar los hechos con sus propios ojos; en la expedición se descubrió una caverna natural: la Santa Cova, en cuyo interior encontraron una imagen de María con el Niño en su regazo, con la cara y manos de color negro.
Gotmar, el obispo de Vic, no dudó en proponer que fuera trasladada a Manresa; pero fue apenas sacarla del interior de la cueva, cuando la imagen se hizo tan pesada que no había forma de moverla del suelo; la interpretación para el obispo era fácil: la voluntad de la Virgen era la de permanecer en aquel sagrado lugar; por lo que respaldó la voluntad divina y decidió construir una capilla para que María fuese venerada en la montaña de Montserrat.
Según la leyenda, “La Moreneta” fue esculpida en madera quemada por el efecto de un rayo, por el mismo San Lucas en Jerusalén y traída a Cataluña por San Pedro, siendo posteriormente depositada en la iglesia de San Justo, para ser venerada por Santa Eulalia y San Oleguer; la imagen, conocida como “La Jerosolimitana”, sería ocultada a comienzos del siglo VIII a causa de la invasión musulmana, llevándola a Montserrat, donde sería escondida en la Santa Cova, permaneciendo allí oculta hasta el 880, año de los fenómenos de las extrañas luces.
“The way a child discovers the world constantly replicates the way science began. You start to notice what's around you, and you get very curious about how things work. How things interrelate. It's as simple as seeing a bug that intrigues you. You want to know where it goes at night; who its friends are; what it eats.” (David Cronenberg)
