Day 1 of LOAD. Used Lain's prompt with the 1st photos I found. Not the most meaningful layout but hey, I scrapped these photos! :)
Back later with a supply list.
Wasn't going to upload these for a couple days, but had a slightly disturbing conversation with my Father tonight about a previous neighbors immanent demise, and I realized that I may not live forever, so here you go.
Last day of the first month of 2021. Got out to the depot/yard at 10AM. Beautiful weather. The night before I'd invited my Nephew to come out benching with me. He'd never been out and I'm sure didn't know what to expect.
Well, I brought him to the yard because I thought it would at the minimum be interesting to him watching the crane operators loading the containers on the cars. Well, when I got there the nearest tracks were loaded with freights blocking most of the view, and half of the cranes weren't operating anyway. Didn't really bother me because as an active bencher I'm used to waiting for something interesting to happen.
I apologized and assured him that "Any minute" a freight could roll through with some amazing pieces on it. And 3 or 4 did while he was there. I shot my flicks and talked to him about what he saw. Said he saw some really cool pieces and even mentioned some hand re-painted numbers on the cars. Somehow he already knew that the writers shouldn't be covering the numbers. He knows zero about graff, and understood this. How is it that so many writers don't understand this?? I'm not sure the Nephews' a fan of graff. I really haven't talked to him about it much. He did ask me how people didn't get caught, or in trouble for doing it. I tried to explain layups, people sneaking into yards etc. And to his credit, he never sounded judgmental. He just had questions.
Anyway.. Had a fun time, and shot some nice pieces. I used the same 7.5mm lens I've used there before but used a Lightroom lens correction to flatten the images so they don't have the fisheye effect. Not sure which I like better, flat or fisheye. Both have their appeal.. The furthest I can stand from a freight on the first rail is about 15ft. so the ultra wide angle is necessary. I can get a whole autorack in one shot. It's actually pretty cool.
As always, thanks to all of the writers!

On a work-related visit, our hosts Cleveland Potash took us to their dry bulk loading facility at Teesport. I was able to capture the Dutch-flagged MV Hoop taking on board a consignment of road salt.
Salt was a useful by-product of the potassium chloride that was the primary output of CPL’s facility at Boulby, and it was distributed to customers in the UK and Northern Europe.
I was curious to trace the history of the MV Hoop. She was built in 1962 by the Netherlands for M.Damhof, Delfzuil, as seen here. Soon after my photograph, she underwent changes of ownership and registration, eventually becoming the MV Lady C, based in Anguilla. While loading cement there in 9/1988, she was wrecked (presumably during a hurricane) and broke up at her berth.
I was at the hospital when I saw this, this picture just shows what the most common way to travel is in the Netherlands...By bike! we love bikes for some reason ^-^
To get to Basoko it was two days down river in a pirogue with an outboard motor. A second pirogue was strapped to the side to carry the teams motorcycles. Most of the roads are so overgrown and damaged that even four wheel drive jeeps cannot get through.

This is one of 4 layouts I did as part of the LOAD sketch challenge. I got completely carried away because it was such a simple design. It was the perfect spot and size for all those "2 photo" events that I wanted to scrap.
