Macon Georgia isn't the most sought after railfan location but it is filled with lots of railroad and music history. This coal tower built by the Central of Georgia in 1910 is the last relic of a 22 acre lot that once was home to a car shop and a roundhouse for the Central of Georgia with nearby Southern Railway next door. As usual, I had to make a stop by Rose Hill Cemetery the following morning to pay my respects to the late great Allman Bros when I'm in the area.
The written history of Artziniega begins in the year 1272, when the King of Castile, Alfonso X El Sabio, granted Artziniega the letter-puebla. The Villa would be governed from now on by the jurisdiction of Bizkaia the natural one of the land, and for economic and tax matters by the jurisdiction of Vitoria. Until Don Tello's death, it belonged to Bizkaia, but upon his death, in 1370, he handed it over to his brother King Enrique II, who a year later handed it over to Pedro López de Ayala, the Chancellor, along with the valleys of Orozko and Llodio. While it belonged to Bizkaia, the Lord appointed the mayors, and later the town did so in an open council.
Aside from the modern park bench, this scene at Fairfax, MN hasn't changed much over the years, although the semaphore is not original to this location. An eastbound Twin Cities & Western train rolls through town on the former Minneapolis & St Louis Railway.

Excerpt from the plaque:
Relatum-Town of Encounter by Lee Ufan
Lee Ufan is a master of contemporary art who works mainly in Korea, Japan, and Europe. He was born in Haman, Southern Gyeongsang province, Korea and led the theory and practice of ‘Mono-na’ (School of Things), Asian equivalent of the West’s minimalism and the first contemporary art movement in the region.
Since the early 1970s, Lee has produced meditative painting series ‘From Point’ and ‘From Line’ as well as his signature sculpture series ‘Relatum’ using steel plates and stone.
This artwork was installed in November 1985 to commemorate the completion of The Korean Press Center, the new building for The Seoul Shinmun and Korea Broadcast Advertising Corporation.
It is a rate masterpiece symbolizing the emergence of a new harmonious relation between heavy steel plates and native rock that bears the scar of long history.
‘Relatum’ series was exhibited at the Palace of Versailles, France in 2014 and is owned by Lee Ufan Museum in Naoshima, Japan and Space Le Ufan in Busan Museum of Art.
Look at this beauty showing off like it knows it’s a big deal (because it is). The Rectaflex was a trailblazer in the camera world, hailed as one of the first single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras ever made. Manufactured in Rome, Italy, back in the late 1940s to early 1950s, this gem was way ahead of its time.
🔍 What made it special?
•The Rectaflex was one of the first SLRs to have a pentaprism, giving photographers a bright and correct viewfinder image.
•Designed with precision engineering and chef’s kiss Italian style.
•Limited production means it’s a rare find now—a true collector’s item!
✨ Fun fact: The Rectaflex was nicknamed the “Rolls Royce of cameras” by enthusiasts because of its premium build quality and advanced mechanics.
This camera doesn’t just take photos; it tells stories—and you can almost hear it saying, “They don’t make ‘em like me anymore!”

1. Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
2. The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
3. Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
4. The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
5. The moment of observation is the real find ...
6. Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
7. Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
8. The meaning of all this is the process!
9. Let it be!

I am glad that you paid attention to my work!
In my opinion, photography is the only true instrument of the present HISTORY. When I see such moments of life, I understand that after many years, those who see this will instantly feel this moment! And no other audio-visual sources can instill something else ...
By far, this building has the most impressive interior I've ever seen.

Este es, con diferencia, el interior más impresionante que he visto jamás en un edificio.
Starting in 1909 the Plymouth Truck Co. built trucks and then automobiles but after the request of the Bigelow Clay Co. in New London, Ohio for a device to replace their stubborn mules that transported clay from a pit to the factory Plymouth created their first locomotive. By 1928 they sold the Plymouth automobile name to Chrysler Corporation and focused on producing small locomotives for industrial use. This they continued to do until selling the company to Ohio Locomotive Crane in 1997. Production in Plymouth, Ohio ceased by 1999 with the move to Bucyrus.
In this view hovering over the cleared remains of half of the plant the Ashland Railway’s Willard turn is passing the remaining buildings of the Plymouth Locomotive Works. The lead GP38 was built for the Monongahela Railway while the trailing two GP10’s were originally Pennsylvania Railroad engines. The line they’re running on was once the Baltimore & Ohio’s mainline to Sandusky and Chicago, making that turn west at Chicago Jct. in Willard, OH. They’re also about to cross the Wheeling & Lake Erie’s former Akron, Canton & Youngstown mainline just south of the plant complex.
While the plant site is a vision of industrial decay at least the former B&O main is still active under the Ashland’s stewardship. They run up from Mansfield to Willard a couple times a week to interchange with CSX at Willard Yard and traffic on the line has been pretty health this year. Plymouth, OH 11/6/2020
Natural History: Butterflies, Bees; Dragon & Damselflies and other insects
Over the years I have visited many gardens and not un-naturally have pretty well photographed everything that’s passed my lens. I find that in the last year or two there do not seem as many insects about as there were previously. Having walked over many of the fields and footpaths locally, more intensive farming has changed the face of the countryside. I try to encourage particularly Butterflies and Bees with the planting of my front garden. Hope you enjoy what I’ve posted.
If anyone can identify this damselfly, would appreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks.

I am scanning my collection of old slides while staying inside because of COVID-19 and found this photo from a trip to New York City in 1981. I sense a sad connection between the Statue of Liberty and the twin towers of the World Trade Center.
History is not there for you to like or dislike.
It is there for you to learn from it.
And if it offends you, even better.
Because then you are less likely to repeat it.
It's not yours to erase.
It belongs to all of us.
In Lune Street, Preston, opposite the former Public Hall is a statue commemorating an incident which took place during 1842 when four workers demonstrating against wage cuts and in favour of "The Charter" were shot by the military. On a second plaque we are urged to "Remember, Remember" and continue the fight for Democracy at any cost.

Everyone and their brother who has visited the historic mill district in Minneapolis has taken this photo. Sometimes you just have to make it your own! Taken from under the beautiful stone arch bridge and looking into the exposed walls and waterpower features of the 19th century flour mills. This piece of important Minneapolis history was long buried under mud and gravel has now been excavated and turned into a fascinating park.

came around the corner of the steps and noticed this memorial in the middle ... pay attention or you will bump in to it. Guess that's the idea. 😮
"Den Opfern zum Gedenken, uns zur Mahnung, nie wieder Faschismus", 1989; Alt-Saarbrücken, Schlosstreppe.
"Unknown people sprayed a Palestinian flag on a memorial stone in downtown Saarbrücken that commemorates the victims of National Socialism. The police have taken up the case and state security will also be involved, said a spokesman for the situation center in Saarbrücken on Monday morning (October 16, 2023)." / from SOL.DE - Redaktion - Redaktionsteam
