When you're not strong, use the B Quad at Okemo (with the cool conveyor belts at the top and bottom).
CSX Detour K635 is screaming up the grade as the train crosses the Butler/West Milford town line. The two big GEs make easy work of the grades.

Antwort auf die Frage: "In welchem Intervall sollten die Treffen vom Lean Startup Circle stattfinden?"
"Lean" is a respected old-school Melbourne graffiti writer who is known for his clean lines, block and bubble lettering, classic Melbourne "throwies" and for his trackside pieces which have seen about Melbourne's extensive rail corridors.
Finally, "Lean’s" aesthetic prioritises speed, repetition, and distinct execution over polished gallery murals and artworks.

Notice the refrigerator on the roof of the house. The flood waters were high enough to float that refrigerator onto the roof.

I was ambling along Church Street in downtown Toronto when some flowers and this picket fence caught my attention. I stopped and crouched down to take some shots as a young man sat on the adjacent wall, watching me. After a while he asked what I was taking photos of, so I showed him and we got talking.
He told me that the building provides housing for Native Americans who are homeless or in need and that, inter alia, he was part Native American and part Central European, if I recall... I do remember that he had beautiful eyes, light... bluish maybe. We spoke for a while, exchanged a hug and I carried on walking towards St. Michal's Cathedral, site of another curious encounter.

The Albert Memorial Clock is a tall clock tower situated at Queen's Square in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was completed in 1869 and is one of the best known landmarks of Belfast.
History
In 1865 a competition for the design of a memorial to Queen Victoria's late Prince Consort, Prince Albert, was won by W. J. Barre, who had earlier designed Belfast's Ulster Hall. Initially Barre was not awarded his prize and the contract was secretly given to Lanyon, Lynn, and Lanyon, who had come second. Following public outcry the contract was eventually awarded to Barre.
The sandstone memorial was constructed between 1865 and 1869 by Fitzpatrick Brothers builders and stands 113 feet tall in a mix of French and Italian Gothic styles. The base of the tower features flying buttresses with heraldic lions. A statue of the Prince in the robes of a Knight of the Garter stands on the western side of the tower and was sculpted by SF Lynn. A two tonne bell is housed in the tower and the clock was made by Francis Moore of High Street, Belfast.
As a result of being built on wooden piles on marshy, reclaimed land around the River Farset, the top of the tower leans four feet off the perpendicular. Due to this movement, some ornamental work on the belfry was removed in 1924 along with a stone canopy over the statue of the Prince.
Being situated close to the docks, the tower was once infamous for being frequented by prostitutes plying their trade with visiting sailors. However, in recent years regeneration has turned the surrounding Queen's Square and Custom's House Square into attractive, modern public spaces with trees, fountains and sculptures.
In 1947, the film Odd Man Out was filmed partly in Belfast, with the Albert Clock as a central location, although neither the town nor the clock is explicitly identified.
The clock was damaged in a Provisional Irish Republican Army bomb explosion outside nearby River House in High Street on 6 January 1992.
Restoration
To halt the worsening lean and repair damage caused by the elements and heavy passing traffic, a multi-million pound restoration project was completed in 2002. During the project the wooden foundations were strengthened, the majority of the decaying carvings were replaced and the entire tower was cleaned.

Denell Henderson, a Twin Groves, Ark. native, guides his horse around a curve during the relay race portion of the 30th annual Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo (BPIR) at the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, Md., Sep. 21, 2014. The relay is a friendly competition between local equestrian teams and nationwide rodeo competitors like Henderson. BPIR is recognized as the only black traveling rodeo and was created to educate people about the history of the black cowboys and the development of the West.
Shooting high-speed events indoors without a flash was an interesting challenge, especially with a body that doesn't handle low light situations well. Lesson learned for next year!
