An impressive array of Trinity Metro Gillig CBG-powered transit buses at Ft. Worth Central interchange.
Taken from the High Line in New York City's Chelsea District. The High Line was an elevated train track built in the 1930's to serve the transportation needs of the city's meatpacking industry. It was restored over the past decade as a nearly two mile promenade. This is an example of the art that is displayed along the High Line.

Taken in the evening just before the sun disappeared so the angle of lighting is very low.
The exposure was quite long - about 1/8th of a second.

Overhead power line
An overhead power line is an electric power transmission line suspended by towers or utility poles. Since most of the insulation is provided by air, overhead power lines are generally the lowest-cost method of transmission for large quantities of electric energy. Towers for support of the lines are made of wood (as-grown or laminated), steel (either lattice structures or tubular poles), concrete, aluminum, and occasionally reinforced plastics. The bare wire conductors on the line are generally made of aluminum (either plain or reinforced with steel, or sometimes composite materials), though some copper wires are used in medium-voltage distribution and low-voltage connections to customer premises. A major goal of overhead power line design is to maintain adequate clearance between energized conductors and the ground so as to prevent dangerous contact with the line. Today overhead lines are routinely operated at voltages exceeding 765,000 volts between conductors, with even higher voltages possible in some cases.

The secrets of the mind convene splendidly,
Though the mind is meek.
To be aware inwardly
of brain and beauty
Is dark too recognizable.
Thought looking out on thought
Makes one an eye:
Which it shall be, both decide.
One is with the mind alone,
The other is with other thoughts gone
To be seen from afar and not known.
When openly these inmost sights
Flash and speak fully,
Each head at home shakes hopelessly
Of being never ready to see self
And sees a universe too soon.
The immense surmise swims round and round
And heads grow wise
With their own bigness beatified
In cosmos, and the idiot size
Of skulls spells Nature on the ground,
While ears listening the wrong way report
Echoes first and hear words before sounds
Because the mind, being quiet, seems late.
By ears words are copied into books,
By letters minds are taught self-ignorance.
From mouths spring forth vocabularies
To the assemblage of strange objects
Grown foreign to the faithful countryside
Of one king, poverty,
Of one line, humbleness.
Unavowed and false horizons claim pride
For spaces in the head
The native head sees outside.
The flood of wonder rushing from the eyes
Returns lesson by lesson.
The mind, shrunken of time,
Overflows too soon.
The complete vision is the same
As when the world-wideness began
Worlds to describe
The excessiveness of man.
But man's right portion rejects
The surplus in the whole.
This much, made secret first,
Now makes
The knowable, which was
Thought's previous flesh,
And gives instruction of substance to its intelligence
As far as flesh itself,
As bodies upon themselves to where
Understanding is the head
And the identity of breath and breathing are established
And the voice opening to cry: I know,
Closes around the entire declaration
With this evidence of immortality—
The total silence to say:
I am dead.
For death is all ugly, all lovely,
Forbids mysteries to make
Science of splendor, or any separate disclosing
Of beauty to the mind out of body's book
That page by page flutters a world in fragments,
Permits no scribbling in of more
Where spaces are,
Only to look.
Body as Body lies more than still.
The rest seems nothing and nothing is
If nothing need be.
But if need be,
Thought not divided anyway
Answers itself, thinking
All open and everything.
Dead is the mind that parted each head.
But now the secrets of the mind convene
Without pride, without pain
To any onlookers.
What they ordain alone
Cannot be known
The ordinary way of eyes and ears
But only prophesied
If an unnatural mind, refusing to divide,
Dies immediately
Of too plain beauty
Foreseen within too suddenly,
And lips break open of astonishment
Upon the living mouth and rehearse
Death, that seems a simple verse
And, of all ways to know,
Dead or alive, easiest.

Sony A7II + Olympus OM Zuiko Shift 35mm f/2.8
Het Red Star Line Museum is opgebouwd uit verhalen van mensen die met de schepen van de rederij naar Amerika of Canada zijn gereisd. Centraal staan zes getuigen, onder wie Albert Einstein en Irving Berlin. De hoofdtentoonstelling voert de bezoeker langs de verscheidene reisetappes vanaf het reisbureau in Warschau tot het nieuwe leven in de Verenigde Staten. Het doel is om een indruk te geven van de zware tocht die een Europese landverhuizer moest afleggen om een betere toekomst tegemoet te kunnen gaan. Het laatste deel van de tentoonstelling verbindt het verleden met het heden om aan te tonen dat migratie een universeel en tijdloos gegeven is Wikipedia

En 1872 surgió en Oporto el servicio de tranvÃas americanos que eran empujados por mulas , destinados al transporte de personas y mercancÃas.
La primera compañÃa en explotar el servicio fue la "Companhia Carril de Ferro Americano do Porto" , surgiendo mas tarde la "Carris de Ferro de Porto". En 1893 ambas empresas se unieron prevaleciendo la "Carris de Ferro de Porto".
En 1894 comienza la electrificación de la linea y el 12 de Septiembre de 1895 comienzan a funcionar los primeros tranvÃas eléctricos en Oporto. Los primeros tranvÃas eléctricos pesaban unas 6 toneladas y transportaban unos 30 pasajeros.
Hasta 1912 las lineas se designaban por sus nombres , la "linea da Marginal" (linea 1) era la mas emblemática.
En 1878 las cámara municipal de Oporto , autoriza a operar de Oporto a Matosinhos y a utilizar maquinas de vapor para tirar de los vehÃculos. Al ser mas potentes que la tracción animal , podian tirrar de varios vagones de tranvÃa americano.
Entre 1900 y 1940 con el crecimiento de Oporto , nacen nuevas lineas de tranvÃa como la del centro y la Avenida de los Aliados. El tranvia ya es el transporte de la clase obrera en Oporto.
Los activos de la "Carris de Ferro de Porto" crecen , comprandose nuevos tranvÃas y modernizando los existentes.
Los tranvÃas se alimentaban de electricidad de centrales térmicas construidas para ello. La primera central fue la del rio Duero en las Pedreiras de Arrabida , construyéndose mas tarde la de Massarelos que sustituyó a la de Arrabida.
En 1946 se acaba la concesión y pasa a explotar el servicio la SCTP ("Servicio de transportes colectivos de Porto").
Crecen los problemas para cumplir los horarios por el aumento siginificativo del tráfico , nacen los "Pipis" que son tranvias mas modernos y rápidos con los que se intenta solucionar el problema.
Debido al crecimiento del uso automóvil que es mas rápido y cómodo , el tranvÃa entra en crisis. Se moderniza la flota y en 1959 comienza a utilizarse el trolley bus , mas barato y menos contaminante , para dar servicio a los alrrededores de Oporto.
En los 60 hay una importante remodelación y se suprimen 65 kilometros de linea.
En 1974 funcionan en Oporto 489 tranvÃas y 101 trolley bus.
En la actualidad el tranvÃa en Oporto ha perdido su papel como medio de transporte público , quedado relegado a atracción turÃstica . Apenas funcionan media docena de tranvÃas y cuatro lineas.

old string line, still fully functional. the powder is bright purple. i cleaned out my toolboxes after fixing up my bike last week, so this guy and a few other bits got hauled out to pose.
This year apparently marks 100 years of Underground in Bloom. The anniversary is celebrated at Northwick Park station on the Metropolitan line.
Former Milwaukee Road. This bad boy had been blocked for several hours. Once the train on the near track pulled out, the light went to shit. I had to lean against a post and open the shutter to 30 to get this. Oh, well, some days you just can't win.

CLUB HISTORY
Moseley was founded in 1873 and celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1998. The team adopted its signature red and black colours in 1874.
Moseley played its home matches at The Reddings, in Birmingham, England, from 1880 through the end of the 1999-2000 season. With the start of the 2000-2001 season, Moseley moved to a temporary home at Bournbrook on the University of Birmingham campus. In 2005 the Club moved to its permanent home at Billesley Common.
Moseley is a member of the English Championship, formerly National Division One, proudly among the top 24 clubs in England. It is owned by a consortium of members and supporters who successfully gained RFU approval to run the club in August 2002.
