from my friends in the pieced together quilting bee. i'm still playing with these. planning on making a set of wall hangings to put in my stairwell.
MARC Penn Line train 416 was blasting off from the Halethorpe stop on the way to Baltimore's Penn Station.
A pair of MPI MP36s were doing their thing under the former PRR catenary that was installed in the 1930's.
Lumen print of the things that are abundant now: apple tree petals and mosquitoes. Petals are so thin that they need very short exposure time.

The ship approaching the pier from the right is the North of Scotland, Orkney & Shetland Steam Navigation Company's Earl of Zetland which linked the north islands of Shetland (Yell, Unst, Whalsay, Fetlar, Skerries) to Lerwick from 1939 to 1975 when she was finally replaced by car ferries. I believe her last call at Mid Yell would have been around May 1973 when the car ferry between the Mainland of Shetland and Yell commenced. The Earl of Zetland was latterly a floating restaurant in Hartlepool but was recently scrapped.
Can anyone tell me about the grey coaster at the pier and what cargo she would have been discharging or picking up?
Crow - mid flight. I know, 135mm is not the greatest focal length for bird photography, nor EOS 550D the best camera. Nevertheless, I tried to capture some crows in an evening on the terrace. It was fading light, I couldn't use a higher shutter speed and Auto focus struggled. This was among the better ones, for what it is worth.
Heavily cropped and adjusted.
Friday night, I ran over to Mid-America Car in Kansas City and found this nice looking trio of units sitting outside, ready to go. The three units were the KCS 4841, BNSF 2766, and the CSS 2008.

Moyle House and Lowther House, two of the 32 blocks in the Churchill Gardens Estate, Pimlico. Designed by architects Powell & Moya and completed in 1962.
The Waxeye/Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis) is a very small omnivorous passerine bird native to the south-west pacific.
They are very aggressive and territorial birds and can often be seen engaging in spectacular mid air battles.
These birds self introduced to New Zealand and were the second most common garden bird in the 2013 New Zealand Garden Bird Survey...
Sand can be enjoyed in other places than the beach right? So come to the desert!
Here is a mid-century styled building loosely based on a A-Frame design. Most of the source material I found suggests most of these were and are still found in the USA. I went with a white design rather than a log cabin feel and chose to partly bed it into the scenery which I saw in a few examples. I've tried to incorporate some design features of the 1950's/1960's here. I plan to make a standalone interior room of the era at some point in the near future.
Cheers!
Today but one track remains at this old 28th Street yard on the Soo Line next to the University of Wis. in Superior. Under a fantastic mid-summer sky on 07-03-1976; Soo Line 2556 pulls a transfer run south to Stinson yard.
Visiting relatives in New England in 1966 I chanced across the New York State line to visit the Delaware & Hudson Railroad. My meager notes shows this photo was snapped at Alplaus on July 4th of that now distant year. After doing some research in the D&H books I have in my collection, I believe this location is at the south end of Mohawk yard with the yard office in view to the left. A selection of Alco diesels are present here with RS-3’s trailing, an RS-11 mid-sandwich and two recently purchased RS-32’s in the lead. A wonderful photo with decent sunlight of five Alco product creations for all you Alco addicts in the audience.1299

one of a low number sunflowerfields i found this year, missed their golden look from the last year :)
While in the Hudson Valley area for the 2022 Toys For Tots train, another special visitor made a daylight appearance. Pictured is Norfolk Southern H70 passing the trails at Schunemunk State Park over the Moodna Viaduct. Just hours before the train arrived, snow began to fall and coat the Orange County area. With the road conditions worsening, this still didn't deter the buffs from trying to wait out the TFT.
Mackay Sugar locos Cedars and Dulverton work as distributed power hauling a loaded rake.

In the fall of 1987 the Mark Twain Zephyr was parked at Mid-America Car in Kansas City for awhile. The trainset would change hands over the years, as it has again in 2020. the new owners, Wisconsin Great Northern in Trego, WI has plans in place to restore the train to operating condition, a huge feat that I believe they will accomplish. It will be good to see this train finally in operating condition after all these years stored.
Also there at the time were some ex-Conrail GP38-2's getting renumbered into the EMDX lease fleet, I think these ended up getting leased by the BN when they came out of the shop.
another IR shot and this is my personal favorite, taken as the sun was breaking threw the trees, with the warm autumn feel
One of the features of the Sk8 Park in Grimsby, Ontario is a group of small billboard-style panels specifically intended to host the artistic expressions of those visiting the site. As a result, graffiti is encouraged in places that are acceptable. Furthermore, periodic cleanup of the panels by town staff ensures regular refreshment of the subject matter. This image was taken in mid-February, the dead of Winter, so the snow-covered park was not in regular use and had not been for several months. The last round of painting had been ignored, likely waiting for Spring to get a refresh, with the consequence being the multiple layers of paint had weathered and flaked off leaving colourful abstracts when viewed up close. This section features and area with yellow and green patches. - JW
