ARR's two brand new Goldstar cars are seen on their first revenue trip curling around the south leg of the wye off the Airport Branch about to enter the Alaska Division mainline for a southward journey. This two car train was chartered for a wedding and the party boarded at the ARR's airport depot then traveled south to Girdwood where they debarked for the wedding ceremony up in the beautiful resort town. While the ceremony was taking place the train crew scooted down to Portage to turn the train and then returned to take the guests back to the airport for the wedding reception.
I've always wondered who actually got married on the train this day and how much it cost, but I never did find out. I'm sure it wasn't cheap and it must have been one heck of a party!

An old friend once told me that she liked to photography a cloudless sky to show the vastness of it all. I tend to lean towards big puffy clouds or a dramatic overcast. But sometimes you don't have a say in the matter.
Here, I like how the tree dwarfs the cows and barn. It's a perspective thing, but the tree was pretty huge.

Un paseo por la historia y cultura de la Selva Negra. El Museo al aire libre de Vogtsbauernhof en Gutach (Schwarzwaldbahn) nos proporcionan una visión de la vida que llevaban los campesinos que la poblaban entre los siglos XVI y XIX. El Vogtsbauernhof está constituido por más de una docena de casas rurales, repartidas por la ladera de una montaña, a tamaño natural y completamente de madera, todas visitables. También están las herramientas empleadas hasta no hace mucho y los cultivos típicos. La agricultura que se ha practicado durante los siglos han hecho de la Selva Negra lo que es ahora: un paisaje inconfundible. Por todas partes se encuentran las típicas casas de la región, que se esconden bajo los tejados inclinados que casi rozan el suelo como si de capuchas se tratara, una buena muestra de ellas las encontramos en este museo. Además del exterior de las granjas podemos visitar su interior, ver las habitaciones, los comedores y hacernos una idea de la vida de estas gentes. Imponentes granjas, molinos, aserraderos nos muestran la arquitectura y economía de esta región en épocas anteriores. (Minube)

Cuando era niña, siempre escuchaba a la gente decir: "Un marido con prestigio honra a su esposa". "Sigue al hombre con el que te casas, ya sea un gallo o un perro" (en idioma chino significa que una niña no tiene más remedio que vivir obedientemente con el hombre con el que se casa, ya sea que sea bueno o malo, por el resto de su vida.) En ese momento, siempre pensé que cuando creciera, debía casarme con un marido exitoso que vendría de una gran familia y ganarían mucho dinero y nos protegerían a mí y a mi hijo. También creía que la primera encarnación de una mujer no dependía de ella, pero la segunda encarnación de una mujer era el matrimonio, y le correspondía a ella decidir. Este fue el objetivo más importante de mi vida.

Una familia dichosa que una vez tuve
Cuando tenía 21 años, en la presentación de un amigo, conocí a mi esposo. Él trataba a la gente con sinceridad y era muy competente, y nos casamos un año después. Poco después de nuestro matrimonio, nació nuestra hija y mi esposo nos trató muy bien. Aunque no éramos ricos, me sentí muy feliz. Para tener una vida mejor, alquilamos un puesto en un mercado de granjeros para vender de al mayor y al detal, productos alimenticios marinos. Todos los días, yo trabajaba desde el amanecer hasta el anochecer, y dirigía el negocio mientras cuidaba a mi hija. Cuando yo tenía 26 años, estaba bajo una gran presión de trabajo durante mucho tiempo y dormía mal que me resultó en una migraña, presión arterial baja e hipoglucemia. Sin embargo, pensé que valdría la pena para esta familia. Al ver que yo sufría con él, mi esposo se sintió incómodo; después de una consulta entre nosotros, decidimos abandonar el negocio.
Después, abrimos una tienda vendiendo productos de salud y de necesidades diarias. Al principio, nuestro negocio no iba bien, y mi esposo necesitaba asistir constantemente a capacitaciones para aprender el conocimiento profesional de estos productos. Debido a nuestros esfuerzos durante un período de tiempo, nuestro negocio mejoró gradualmente y abrimos sucursales en muchas ciudades. Nuestra vida finalmente mejoró. Para aquel entonces, mi esposo a menudo me compraba ropa y joyas de lujo, y cada vez que regresaba de su viaje de negocios, le cocinaba su comida favorita. Sentí que era la mujer más feliz del mundo.

We visited the Palace of Matrimony on Paseo del Prado in Havana and our guide was able to get us into the upper floors. I opened the door to this room and tried to imagine what this place looked like before the revolution.

Matrimonial Mayhem ?
At 06:30 I walk Playa la Ropa for an hour. The beach is about 1.5 Km long with ramp access at the south end. When I arrived at the beach in front of Hotel Catalina this morning both of the vehicle occupants were sacked out on the sand.
They drove their Jeep down the beach and when they arrived in front of the Catalina, there is a volcanic rock outcropping that prevents any further travel north. Looks like they drove into the soft sand trying to turn around and got stuck - oops! The 4-wheel drive just sucked the Jeep in deeper.
At 07:30 I went for the camera. On return the female was astir.
Shortly after the authorities arrived and roused the male. Lots of discussion - probably about cost to liberate the Liberty and how much of a fine would be levied. New wife did NOT look amused.
When I returned to the beach at 09:00 for a morning swim, it was all over - Jeep Liberty was liberated.
The story circulating was the newlyweds were from Morelia, Michoacan, about a 4.5 hour drive inland and were in Zihuatanejo for their honeymoon. Not off to a great start maybe.

I photographed a wedding today, what's been a rare occurrence these past two pandemic years. Ever since I first started this job 12 years ago, I've never actually attended a wedding as a guest. I was only without a camera in the earlier years, when all my siblings and cousins were getting married. One of the first was right here in 2004, a reception for my cousin, Laura Medicraft (now Trimper). The rest came quick, and by the end of 2009, the matrimonial rush was over. I followed a couple years later myself, and it was clear by then that my bloodline was the marrying kind. It's strange looking back, seeing us all pair up so quickly. Those first 5 years seemed slow enough when I was younger, but it's a blink right by these days. I was the invisible observer even then, looking for a way to see and not be seen, peering in from the outskirts. It was remarkably good training for a wedding photographer, one more fraction in the compound eye of a fly on the wall, watching. The times taught me how to tell a true love story, for all the honest heart it holds. I remember those lessons, even now.

I waited ages at this bus stop for my bus to turn up (the previous one was cancelled), and when it did the single deck vehicle was packed and left potential passengers behind at certain stops. The only consolation for me was getting this snap of an old Routemaster bus on wedding duties, viewed from 'inside' the bus shelter.

A site blessed by nature
A special destiny has permitted a town with origins that reach far into the past to exploit all the resources of a site blessed by nature, knowing how to seize opportunities and how to survive through the centuries while remaining always of its own time.
A lock town at the exit from a lake on a road crossing the great routes from Italy to Geneva, its site puts in contact with two zones: the pre-Alpine mountains of the Bornes and the Bauges on one side and the plain with the Albanais district on the other.
Its site is particularly blessed with the lake which has become its symbol, the Thiou, a former industrial route that has become a tourist attraction, the huge Semnoz forest which has remained wild, the spacious Fins plain well-suited to unlimited urban development, and finally the sloping border of Annecy-le-Vieux, the pleasant beginning of the northern landscape.
As for its history, the nearness of Geneva was to be the cause of successive rises in status as the town became in succession capital of Geneva county when the Counts chased from that city settled there in the 13th century, then a bishopric after the triumph of Calvinism in the 16th century.
Promoted in the 15th century to capital of an attached territory of the House of Savoie, it was to experience a radical transformation at the beginning of the 19th century by becoming an active industrial centre, a role which grew stronger in the 20th century without slowing the growth of tourism.
3100 years before Jesus Christ : a village on the shore-line
Annecy is probably one of the oldest inhabited sites in the Northern Alps. In fact, the recent digs carried out by the Department of Sub-Aquatic and Sub-marine Archaeological research, set up in Annecy, have allowed us to date the lakeside village which has been identified off the bank at Annecy-le-Vieux at 3,100 years before Christ.
The station known as “the Port” located near the Swan Island ; could be used to fix the date at 2,500 years before Christ.
Boutae in the Gallo-roman period
The Gallo-romain period started about years before our own and saw the rapid emergence of a “village” of about 2,000 people given the name Boutae whose expansion into a town on the Fins plain let enough remains to let us know the precise location of the Forum, Temple, Thermal baths (to be seen at 36 avenue des Romains), and of the theatre, the final element which could be restored.
The triangular shape of this town shows the importance of the traffic routes converging on this crossroads: points leading to Faverges (Casuaria), Aix Les Bains (Aquae) and Geneva.
After the dispersal of the inhabitants of Boutae in the 6th century, a new stage was begun from the 12th century with the progressive occupation of the banks of the Thiou at the lake mouth, an advantageous position controlling a vital part of the great north-south axis, crossing the river at the level of the island which was very quickly converted into a stronghold.
The medieval town
From that moment the medieval town began to be built on both sides of the Thiou protected by the fortifications which would become the castle. This was the beginning of “New Annecy” which is mentioned in a text of 1107.
The growing township was given an unexpected boost when it became the residence of the Count of Geneva when he was chased out of his capital after disputes with the Bishops.
Annecy becomes Savoyarde
This event triggered the building of the castle which became the prince’s residence until the extinction of the Geneva family in 1394 when the last member, Robert of Geneva, who had become anti-Pope at Avignon under the name of Clement VII, died. A few years later, in 1401, Annecy became Savoyarde with the absorption of the County of Geneva into the Savoyard state under its most prestigious ruler, Amadeus VIII, the first Duke of Savoie.
The former capital of the Geneva district, having lost its title, went through a period of sharp decline caused by a series of terrible fires which destroyed the greater part of the town in 1412 and then again in 1448. Amadeus VIII, realising the seriousness of the situation, took action to help the city to rise from its own ruins, undertaking reconstruction of the castle and the town.
He then completed these signs of regard for the town by creating an attached territory of Geneva for his son Philippe in 1444. And so Annecy rose from the ashes and regained its title of capital of a county including the districts of Geneva, Faucigny and Beaufort.
This brilliant dynasty of princes formed matrimonial connections with the royal family of France and received from Francis I the Duchy of Nemours (near Fontainebleau), conferring on these new princes the title of Dukes of Geneva-Nemours.
Annecy as a bishopric
This period left a permanent mark on the history of Annecy, when it became a bishopric after the Bishop of Geneva decided to leave the town after the Protestant Reformation in 1535. He was followed by several religious communities who further reinforced Annecy’s importance as a religious centre, which was such that some historians called it “The Rome of Savoie”.
From this period Annecy has preserved some beautiful buildings which permanently enriched its heritage: the Nemours Lodge, St Peter’s Cathedral, the Lambert House, the Note Dame de Liesse bell-tower. If we add to this the glorious history of the episcopate of St François de Sales, the opening of the Chappuisian College, and the creation of the Florimontane Academy, we can speak without doubt of a golden age for our town.
The occupation of Savoie by the French Revolutionary Army (1792) shook the town even though we notice a decline in religious fervour from the beginning of the 18th century.
An industrial destiny
Now open to new ideas, the town experienced a transformation for industrial uses of the sites vacated by the clergy, which was a considerable economic boost. Factories of all sorts were started, powered by hydraulic force from the Thiou.
It was a also a revolutionary vision which inspired the town plan drawn up by Thomas-Dominique Ruphy in 1794 in which a wide rectilinear road on the main traffic routes was designed to divert circulation from the historic town centre.
During the period of Sardinian rule (1815-1860), the industrial destiny of the town was confirmed by the plan for hydro-electric power carried out at the end of the century.
But from the middle of the century, the new sensibility concerning Alpine sites opened the region to the fashion for tourism attracting ever-growing numbers of visitors to our lake.
I have been after this image for years. It is on the upper floor of a near-derelict building in Astoria's Uniontown. This time I was on foot instead of at the wheel of the car, and I nabbed it.
