As life trends slowly back towards a more normal world, I was recently able to join my Studio Nocturne friends (a group of San Francisco Bay Area night photographers) for the resumption of our annual fall “open studio” events in conjunction with the ArtSpan San Francisco Open Studios. The group and its ancestor, The Nocturnes, has shown night photography during this event for a couple of decades. Things were more or less suspended last year, for reasons I hardly need to explain, but this year we were able to offer a very successful open studio event in North Beach, followed by a “pop-up” event in Dogpatch.
So, for the first time in a couple of years, I spent the better part of several full days in San Francisco, showing art, working with my colleagues, talking to visitors about our work. This return to something feeling a bit like the old normal was wonderful. It was also great to once again feel like the life of this city was returning — masked and socially-distanced, yes, but still. The photograph includes the “view” from my location at the pop-up event. As an aside, its composition reminds me of the ubiquitous “chyron” displays on television…

This is a modified HO scale heavy duty Volvo wheel loader fork lift made by Cararama. It was originally a front end loader with a bucket. The bucket was removed and the fork mechanism from a container lift added. The unit is detailed and weathered.

This Logging Truck is pulling SEVEN loads of logs out of the Thompson River drainage in Western Montana.
In the early '70s Claridge Trucking had the task of haulling Anaconda's logs from up to 100 miles away to the rail head at Thompson Falls. They were able to successfully haul multiple loads down the private Anaconda Logging road to the landing.
This video was provided by Michelle Veach Ferrel, grand daughter of Floyd Veach who was the dirver of this truck. Hauling seven loads earned him recognition in the Guiness Book of World Records.
During this time it was not unusual to see multiple loads on this road. 3, 4, or 5 loads were common. Floyd Veach pioneered hauling SEVEN loads. He did this more than once.

Our Daily Challenge 12-17 August: Style.
If he can afford the vehicle and the insurance he can afford the fine for parking in a loading bay.
I missed a close-up of the obvious joy on the traffic warden's face!
We had a local Pizzeria owner who ALWAYS parked directly outside his premises on double yellow lines and settled the fines monthly at the court. All very well, but the traffic often backed up round the obstruction he caused.
Nowadays his limo would be towed or lifted away.
LNER K1 62060 arrives at South Pelaw and is spliting it's load for Consett. A K1 or Q6 would only manage 7 or 8 hoppers and a guards van on the climb to Consett! 1966/7
Figured I'd do an "at 16" layout for the landmark prompt. Have done a few of these over the years and love looking back at them. I have so few photos of my kids now compared to when they were little! She takes selfies constantly, but makes faces if I point a camera at her.
Nothin' but freight! Interviews with KERSE HINDUE KAMIT and SHINE! $6 plus shipping! Exquisite full greyscale photos from the collected archives of Poncho Punch and myself. 50 pages of sickness right here, don't miss it!
I tackled two adventures today - examining something closer and using new products. I didn't have any enlargements of our trip to the Harry Potter studios to scrap, so took a photo of my eldest standing in front of a wall of wands (Ollivander's exhibit) and a tight shot of the display of all the wands used by the main characters in the books to talk about how surprised I was to realize just how many wands there were in the books. I also used two sheets of MY newest supplies which are from Shimelle's Glitter Girl collection.

Such a funny story. At first not so funny, but in retrospect it is hilarious. I used a Gotta Pixel kit for most elements (Always and Forever).
A Maggie Holmes scraplift from the Kelly P Sketchbook class.
I tried to pick bright summery feminine papers and embellishments. i am thrilled that i was able to do a decent job of lifting Maggies style that uses lots of stitching with no real stitching....lol
It can reach a speed of 30 Knots carrying a loaded Pickup truck.
It was just repaired after being driven ashore in a storm.
A bunch of local log truckers got together to do a charity run for a dying friend. The best part was that Toad got to drive his truck in to town-at the head of the 28 truck convoy!
I'm proud to say that I was a part of it. With the donations from the loads, a free will offering afterwards and a charity auction we raised $28 000 for his family!
The FEC Family Day special is puling into the depot at St. Augustine, on April 22, 2017. Off to the right is the depot, that is sitting on the original alignment of the mainline. The current alignment hugs the outskirts of the former shops in St. Augustine. A different angle:

I wish i had brought a lorry sheet for this lot -but after strapping down -nothing was lost on the short trips...
Day 4 shows the variety of “play” relaxation activities I totally enjoy - variations of childhood activities: draw; paint; read; see; knit; make up stories, walk, etc.
