The Curlew is seen here along the west shore of Upper Klamath Lake, about where Southshore Lane is located today. This 36-foot steamer was constructed in 1908 by local boat builder H.C. Telford at Odessa, a community located about 25 miles northwest of Klamath Falls. In the early 1900s, transportation to various points around the lake was most easily made by boat. At one point Curlew was transferred from the upper lake to Lake Ewauna. The curlew carried passengers and mail for perhaps 20 years before being idled by the advent of highway travel.
Among the most notable figures to own a personal resort in Klamath County was railroad magnate Edward Henry Harriman, seen at center in this photo taken in Klamath Falls. Others in the picture were not identified. Harriman purchased a parcel with a cabin near Rocky Point, and spent several weeks there with his family in the summer of 1908. Among his guests in August 1908 was naturalist John Muir. Harriman conducted railroad business during his vacation, communicating with his associates by telegraph. The Southern Pacific Railroad, of which Harriman was president, was building a line toward Klamath Falls in 1908. The line reached here in 1909, and Harriman died later that same year at the age of 61.
The Post Card Shop is situated across from the boat docks. It is a convenient place to shop, write post cards, or rest while watching the passing parade

Entrepreneurs Charles F. Goodrich and James A. Holcomb opened the first creamery in Klamath Falls in March 1909. The creamery provided local farmers with a way to earn extra income by selling surplus milk from their cows. The creamery was located along what is now Esplanade Avenue. People in this photo were not identified.
6x4 lives challenge - November. Hand needlefelted wooltops and knobbly fibres. I enjoyed doing this today as a change from Christmas pictures (and eating!).

London is famous for it's Routemaster buses and other cities have transport icons like Paris once was with it's antiquated Renaults and even though they were commonplace right across much f the Communist Block red and cream Tatra Trams seem as though they should only be in Prague. Lovely to ride on but but you might get robbed if you are not careful by sophisticated pickpocket gangs.
This is another photo, taken last year at the Garden of the Gods Park outside of Colorado Springs. The rock formations are wonderful; at times, the drama of the sky is amazing as the Garden abut the Rocky Mountains. The day I took this picture, though, the sky was flat and colorless. Thus . . . I used a sky out of extras in PPS9, and refined the edges using the Perfect Brush, the Refine Brush, and the Chisel tool. Once done, back to LR and a VSCO preset with adjustments to reduce color and work until the colors worked together. For me, the best results were somewhat odd, but in looking at them, they became to resemble post cards from the 50s and 60s because of the colors – not quite right, but expressive of the environment. Rather pleased with this one.

Named for Princess Alexandra, the dock opened on 16 July 1885. It was built by the controversial Hull & Barnsley Railway in an effort to challenge the regional monopoly held by North Eastern Railways. This eastern terminus facilitated the exportation of coal originating from the collieries of South Yorkshire, as well as recieving timber pit props imported from Scandanavia. An extension to the dock was added in 1899.

I started this last August and left it on one side as I didn't know what to do next. I had thought of adding beads but that didn't work so now I've just added texture with Seed Stitches and a few French Knots - just very simple! (.... and the blue thread at the bottom of the Tulip has crept into the photo, not really on the PC!)
