I never did much with CP when we were still going to Millinocket, mainly because I was usually the conductor for that job. That being said, I did get them a few times, as seen here with Andy and Matt heading north at North Twin.
CP GP38-2 3051 is leading CMQ 9020 with about forty cars, marking the last time a CMQ engine went north to Millinocket. It's just starting to snow here, the beginning of a predicted fourteen inches of snow, and within an hour, there were already several inches of snow on the ground.
Having started a short uni course with Lancaster University on Wordsworth, I thought it was time to brush up on Bill before he goes wandering.
(Always pleased on how good the D300 still is)
Ho sempre amato leggere. Fin da quando ero bambina l'odore dei libri mi ha affascinato come niente altro. Forse perchè dormivo vicino ad una grande libreria e mi addormentavo guardando i colori dei dorsi impilati in bell'ordine sugli scaffali. Sognavo il momento in cui avrei potuto finalmente prenderli e capire quello che c'era scritto, senza farmelo raccontare. Però li "leggevo" lo stesso, libri vecchi senza figure, con copertine più o meno colorate. Mi immaginavo storie e avventure, con fate e principesse e tutte, sempre, con un finale grandioso.
Non ho perso l'abitudine di sognare e ancora mi affascina l'odore della carta stampata; un libro, prima di leggerlo, lo devo annusare e sentire se "sa di libro".....
After about 5 months, I'm finally back in the street of Genova, my beloved hometown!
While walking around the area of the Cathedral, I saw Simone smoking a fag in front of the store where he works as hairdresser; I could not notice him fully covered with amazing tattoos and coloured hair.
We talked a bit about his first tattoo and how painful it is being tattoed on the head; I particularly enjoyed the story of the first tattoo, done when Simone was eighteen for respect of his mom.
Then we moved to the alley behind us and I shooted a few portraits.
Thank you Simone for sparing with me the few minutes of your free time!

More morning bliss. I have made so many of these and I have as many "out-takes" as I do published versions. Here's one I haven't shared previously.
