The CCC, Civilian Conservation Corps, was a relief program started by Franklin Delano Roosevelt during the Depression. It consisted of healthy men with families aged 18 to 23 who focused on soil conservation and reforestation within the Park. The men were given food, shelter, and clothing, plus $30 a month, twenty-five of which was sent directly to their families.
The 105 mile long Skyline Drive was built by the Army Corp of Engineers, but the low fieldstone walls were the accomplishment of the CCC. The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed numerous overlooks measuring 2.5 miles in total, picnic areas, campgrounds, graded slopes, planted trees and grass, and cleared acres of chestnut trees that had suffered from blight in the 1920s.
The walls were refurbished in 2024.
The info came from various sources.
On a drive to find some fall colors today, we came across a field of sunflowers. They instantly got me in the mood to use my camera again. We had been hiking the trails a lot this past week and I relied on my cell phone for taking pictures since I still canât carry much weight on my back. So this Sunday drive was a chance to give myself a break from walking and find something to shoot with my good camera. It was a perfect day to celebrate all the things we can be grateful for in our world. Wishing a peaceful Thanksgiving to everyone!
I like the warm autumn light here and of course I love the muted autumn color----it is a lovely place to take an autumn drive!
HAVE A GREAT DAY---THANKS SO MUCH FOR VISITING---WORKING TODAY---CATCH UP A LITTLE LATER!
Green Bay & Western Alco RS3 (RS3u) No. 308 leads a northbound Fox River Valley Railroad freight departing North Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, on a gray April 29, 1989. In the background and also crossing Lakeshore Drive grade crossing is a Wisconsin Central switch job drilling cars in their yard.
The autumn foliage was pretty late this year and I was giving up hope that it was ever going to happen. This weekend was the last real chance for any fall photos ops and the weather forecast was not good. With heavy rain and high winds on the horizon I feared the fall would just blow away. Well, on Sunday morning after overnight rain and a window of clearing I headed to the local park to see if any color remained. It didn't disappoint as the park put on a grand finale show. I was happy to have a one last chance to photograph the autumn show. This was last photo I took for the day along East Park Drive in South Park, PA.
A quick edit from last night's spooky, foggy drive through teh tiny coastal country lanes of North Devon in an attempt to capture the combination of last light and heavy sea mist that had looked most inviting from the study window! The title is from the track playing while taking the hair pin bend on the highest cliff section that crazily does not have a crash barrier!
f/11, 17 mm, 5 second exposure at ISO 200. Timer & manual exposure.
Yesterday Anita and I started out with no other plan but to go west to the mountains. It was extremely foggy first thing but as we climbed the first set of mountains, we popped out from under the fog and both wondered what it would look like looking down on it so we went to Skyline drive in the Shenandoah National Park and this is what we saw. Almost looks like snow but it is not. Cool stuff and the rest of the day was bright blue skies!

I present here, on Flickr, a series of stolen and not stolen shots, rescued from oblivion, taken on the streets of Taormina, a tourist town on the eastern coast of Sicily. I took many photos by lengthening the exposure times, thus achieving a âblurâ effect; I took portraits, especially of very nice couples, one of Chinese origin who got married in Taormina, one from Holland, another from Germany, portraits of very sweet and very nice Chinese girls, a very nice girl portrayed while she was working in a pastry shop, of the artist Leopoldo, a theater actor, who I had the pleasure of photographing (and posting) on several other occasions.
Presento qui, su Flickr, una serie di scatti rubati e non, tolti allâoblio, realizzati per le strade di Taormina, cittadina a vocazione turistica, della costa orientale della Sicilia. Molte foto le ho realizzate allungando i tempi di esposizione, raggiungendo in tal modo un effetto âblurâ; ho eseguito dei ritratti, segnatamente di simpaticissime coppie, una di origine cinese che si ÃĻ sposata a Taormina, una proveniente dallâOlanda, unâaltra proveniente dalla Germania, ritratti di ragazze cinesi dolcissime e simpaticissime, una simpaticissima ragazza ritratta mentre lavorava in un laboratorio-pasticceria, dellâartista Leopoldo, attore di teatro, che ho avuto il piacere di fotografare (e di postare) in diverse altre occasioni.

I could not decide if it was better to leave the power pole or erase it. I erased it on a layer in PS and clicked back and forth probably fifty times and finally decided to let it stay. Ehhh, I still dunno.
Very quick stop off in Onehunga on the way home tonight as I was passing the Manukau Harbour view. These rays burst through and being a sky nut a few hand held shots with the Grad Filter had to be done. The crepusculars were all over within a few mins sadly.

Have a good weekend all.

There can only be one Cadillac of this vintage in Launceston and I've photographed it before. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/52282423032/in/dateposted/
This time he raced past me across the intersection and was gone in a flash.
Skyline drive in May. The trees just about to turn green, nothing but warm days ahead, winter a fading memory, sigh...
Rode through Seaside, Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row, Pebble Beach and its 17-Mile Drive, and Carmel.
I called it a day and managed to find a place for the night and a hot meal in Carmel.

Southern Iceland, 2022
Driving around Iceland is often like drawing a lottery. Sometimes it rains, sometimes the weather offers great photo opportunities. This time, I just leaned out of the window, using my phone a a camera, trying to catch the mood of our road trip.
Explored!
