Georgetown

Got this shot on the Key Bridge facing Georgetown in DC. Managed to get a blue hour shot with the sunsetting in the background. Worked in Lightroom to bring out the sky and light trails.

This village has a population 4330, is the seat of Brown County seat and the boyhood home to President Ulysses S. Grant. Rural farming community about 40 miles southeast of Cincinnati.

Originally constructed in 1906 to power Seattle streetcars. Powered by coal it was displaced by hydropower. It has not produced electricity since 1953. The plant is now a museum.

The Georgetown Steam Plant was originally constructed in 1906 for the purpose of powering the Seattle Streetcar system. It has been retired since 1953. The plant is now a museum and is open to the public the second Saturday of each month.

The tool bench at the Georgetown Steamplant Museum appears to be missing some tools. The plant last produced electricity in 1953, 70 years ago.

Sun setting over a framers corn field. About the only bright spot as far as the weather is concerned. Been a crappy few days weather wise here in southern Ontario.

This area is where the coal burning boilers were operated. Visitors not allowed here.

Here is another angle on the fall colors near Georgetown, Colorado a few years ago.

This little barn was constructed with the boards laid flat instead of vertically, which is a feature I have seen on granaries to add extra strength. Since this has a door and a boarded up window, maybe this was used as a granary with multiple bins inside. I like the location wth the Preuss Range in the background, including Meade Peak on the right, which is the highest mountain in Bear Lake County, Idaho.

It's potato delivery day at the old Georgetown General Store in South Australia's mid-north. The old farmer has gone in to rustle up some crates to load them in while another hopeful local is looking to do a deal and get them straight from truck to trunk!

This is one of those wonderful old country town general stores where you could buy almost anything, and still appears to be in business today.

A forced perspective of the old store as a backdrop for two 1/24th scale models - A 1948 FX Holden (48-215) and a 1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck.

(If this looks familiar to my regular followers, that is because I have tried it a few times in the past, but keep trying to do better. The lighting on previous ones has left room for improvement.)

The Georgetown Steam Plant was originally constructed in 1906 to power Seattle streetcars. As hydropower developed, this plant was used less and less. It last produced electricity in 1953. The building became a National Historic Landmark in 1983.

The Georgetown Steamplant was orginally constructed in 1906 to power streetcars in Seattle. As hydropower developed, the plant received less use. It last producted electricity in 1953. This scene is lit by old fashioned lightbulbs and natural light.
