After respray into what was Slack's up t date livery, if memory serves me right, it only lasted a season before it was sold.
I put some of the new seed out for the birds and not before long there were around 10 Sparrows on the table, all fighting for the bowl. They *love* it!
Feeding time can be seen here:

Highland Park is a city within the city limits of Detroit proper. In addition to being home to Henry Ford's first assembly plant (now defunct and abandoned), it is also home to a sizable, mostly African-American, Sunni Muslim community.
I was inducted into that community when my family converted to Sunni Islam when I was around 8-years-old.
Qasim was associated with the community in Highland Park. He is also the director of Mooz-Lem: The Movie - a locally-filmed movie that is still in development . It features Danny Glover, Nia Long and quite a few other impressively notable Hollywood cast members.
Its good to see a member of my old Ummah doing his thing. Neither of us could remember if we knew each other growing up. We do both know a young man named Kareem. I happened to bump into Kareem and Qasim a couple of weeks back and they were gracious enough to let me make a couple of frames of them (Kareem, you're next).
That said, I'm no longer a member of the Highland Park Islamic community. In fact, I've removed myself from the larger intellectual community of religious believers altogether.
I've always had a distrinct aversion to fanticiful thinking - no matter how reassuring and comforting. When I was in 1st grade, before my family converted to islam, a classmate opened a bag of chips, crushed them in his hand, turned toward me, started to wiggle his backside and sing an impromptu schoolyard nursery rhyme/taunt:
"I've got more! I've got more!..."
I remember calmly looking at him, shaking my head and saying,
"No you don't. They are just in smaller peices..."
He broke into tears and tried to fight me.
Sorry, kiddo. But the facts are facts.
Though I was devout through my high school years (at Highland Park High School, I'd stop in the middle of Mr. Wojinowski's Chem class to make the afternoon iteration of the 5 daily prayers required of Muslims), the religious explanations for how reality worked became exponentially less convincing with each passing year; and with each passing grade in biology, geology, and history.
The religious explanation simply did not accord with the facts. As much comfort, solace, and certitude my religious faith had provided me in trying circumstances, I found myself increasing unable to abide them.
Sorry, kiddo. But the facts are the facts.
By my second year of college I was more or less bereft of all superstitious belief.
I'm not sure what the tone of Qasim's finished movie will be. It's my understanding that the main character has a crisis of faith.
If nothing else, I hope that his movie will encourage people to take another look at their bag of potato chips.

It's owner saw me taking this shot so - unusually - I've engaged him mentioning that I have this obsession about BROOKS saddles. He proceeded to tell me that he just bought them about 45' earlier for £55. A bargain for sure.
Canadian Pacific SD30C ECO 5030 leads a pair of lesser motors on a 686 ethanol load at Wood Dale under dreary skies. These neat rebuilds are few and far between on the rails around Chicagoland.
I absolutely love this photo I took of my friends forester. Took a different approach with post processing it and I think it's cleaner.

Drivers Photography
Our focus is actors.
Are you tired of having no tools to show your character ?
At Drivers Photography, our goal create Character looks for Actors.
These Characters are then brought to life thru Headshots and Actor Demo Reels
Directors and filmmakers are NOT there to cast “industry standard” headshots, they want characters that FIT the character in their scripts.
This is Simple and Easy. The book "Think and Grow Rich"; says the route to success is to find a need and fill it.
Casting and filmmakers are looking for “Characters”. Let's give them what they are looking for.
In things kids casting there is nothing better to help with that than Actor Demo Reels.
Many Casting Directors are told by film makers to not even look at actors who lack Actor Demo Reels.
Child actors of talent need ways to showcase their skill.
Actor Demo Reels are proven to give child actors a step up when it comes to kids casting.
For most young actors do not have demo reels.

A painting of David Hockney’s quadriptych "Three trees near Thixendale, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter", exhibited in the museum Würth II, Gaisbach (Kuenzelsau), Franconia (Baden-Wuerttemberg)
Some background information:
If you drive through the countryside of the rural district of Hohenlohe with its pastures and little villages in the northeast of the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, you wouldn’t expect an art museum of international reputation being located in this area. However the museums Würth 1 and Würth 2 are and that has a particular reason: Both museums are attached to the headquarters of Würth Group, a multinational company and the biggest producer of screws in the world.
In 1954, the German billionaire Richard Würth took over a two-man business from his father at the age of 19 and made it a successful worldwide concern with almost 86,000 employees today. In the 70s, Würth began to collect art. Since then, he has collected roughly 18,500 works of art. His passion for collecting art even resulted in art becoming an important element of the Würth company culture. The most important works of art are made publicly available in altogether five museums of the Würth Group. All of them are freely accessible.
The newest of the five Würth museums is the museum Würth 2. It was attached to a forum, named after Reinhold Würth’s wife Carmen. The forum was opened in 2017, on occasion of the 80th birthday of Carmen Würth, while the extension building with the museum was opened in 2020. Both forum and museum were planned by the English architect David Chipperfield, who is based in Berlin. The extension building costed 39 million Euro, is dedicated to art from the late 19th to the 21st centuries and has a surface area of 5,500 square metres.
Beyond that, the Carmen Würth Forum is surrounded by an extensive sculpture garden. This sculpture garden features large sculptures of world-renowned sculptors, such as Georg Baselitz, Niki de Saint Phalle, Tony Cragg, Anish Kapoor, Anthony Caro, Alfred Hrdlicka, Eduardo Chillida and Jaume Plensa. However, the heart of the art collection is situated inside the museum.
On two floors, visitors can admire paintings and sculptures of modern painters and sculptors famous the world over. The collection comprises numerous artworks of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Fernand Legér, Rene Magritte, Giorgio de Chirico, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Edvard Munch, Max Ernst, Paul Klee, Eugene Boudin, Joan Miró, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Max Beckmann, Max Liebermann, Anselm Kiefer, David Hockney, Jörg Immendorff, Jean Arp, Fernando Botero, Serge Poliakoff and Gerhard Richter, to name only the best known artists.
If you want to visit the museum, just follow the A6 motorway between Nuremberg and Heilbronn. Take the exit to Kupferzell then and follow the road about 9 km (5.6 miles) towards Kuenzelsau. After having arrived in Gailsbach, the museum is well-signposted. And if you are interested in art, you definitely won’t regret your visit.
About David Hockney:
David Hockney, who was born in 1937, is an English painter, draftsman, printmaker, stage designer, and photographer. As an important contributor to the pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century. Hockney grew up in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire. He studied at the Bradford College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. In 1964 he moved to Los Angeles, but returned to Europe in the 1990s.
He has experimented with painting, drawing, printmaking, watercolours, photography, and many other media including a fax machine, paper pulp, computer applications and iPad drawing programs. The subject matter of interest ranges from still lifes to landscapes, portraits of friends, his dogs, and stage designs for the Royal Court Theatre, Glyndebourne, and the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
His works are housed in numerous public and private collections worldwide, including the 1853 Gallery at Salts Mill, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern and the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, to name just a few.
Hockney has always had a vivid interest in fashion too: In 1986, he was inducted into Vanity Fair's International Best-Dressed Hall of Fame. In 2005, Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey centred his entire spring/summer menswear collection around the artist. And in 2012, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, a close friend, named a checked jacket after Hockney. In 2011, British GQ named him one of the 50 Most Stylish Men in Britain and in March 2013, he was listed as one of the Fifty Best-dressed Over-50s by The Guardian.
Only about 100mm of snow today and quite misty. 15 Years ago there was a bit more snow and sunshine. Mam Tor would be a bit busier these days.
One of Cardiff Canton's Steel Sector Class 37/7 locomotives, 37886 (refurbished 37180) sits in the loop at Bromsgrove with 6E58, the late running 02:00 Cardiff Tidal to Wakefield. The load included steel rod and coils of steel wire from ASW's works with a couple of empty scrap wagons at the rear. The VDA vans I assume would be loaded with finished steel products, possibly from Ebbw Vale. The train was no doubt waiting for banking assistance up the Lickey Incline.
This is the area where it is proposed to build a new station for Bromsgrove. The fuel terminal, goods shed and associated structures have all gone and the Garrington's premises in the background was demolished some years back and the land is now a growing housing development. Where I was stood for this image is now overgrown and housing occupies the land behind me, where the wagon works was once located.

Ready for another day in the life of the "Office Manager" I've been told My Look is that of a working girl and didn't really know how to take it but now I know I will always be the Office Manager not the other kind of working girl.
Proper office attire must be worn at work at all times, including undergarments.
Here I am submitting to my random slip and girdle check. ;-)
One last in your face take on the L584. While I was too far from the BN to shoot them when new I have been photographing these '60s for 28 years now, a pretty good run. It was a nice development when CN picked these up and painted them but I figured it was a temporary stopgap measure, cheap power while new locomotive contruction was all booked up. Thankfully the old Oakways have found steady work protecting locals all over the upper Midwest. Who knows how long they will stay on the job, for now you gotta get 'em in the sun.
