NS 191 led by 'Reading Lines' Heritage Unit approaching Savannah River Bridge and crossing the State line at Augusta, GA.
I am still on this blur kick and colouring. This one right here is one of my favourites. It has a double whammy that I like. I believe there could be a message here but I do not know what it is.

Happy Slider Sunday
Holly is our advertising model today for reading, and for choosing fun and appropriate books! I am not so sure she should have picked a book about a mouse . . . Hmmm. :)

“..reading a book doesn’t mean just turning the pages. It means thinking about it, identifying parts that you want to go back to, asking how to place it in a broader context, pursuing the ideas. There’s no point in reading a book if you let it pass before your eyes and then forget about it ten minutes later. Reading a book is an intellectual exercise, which stimulates thought, questions, imagination.” ~Occupy
Norfolk Southern 1067, the Reading Heritage Unit, is in charge of manifest train MG3AH as it rolls past the famous JB Tower in West Chicago, IL, on this very cold and windy April afternoon. Prior to 2022, foreign leaders had been forbidden on the Union Pacifc's Geneva Sub due to ATC Cab Signal requirements. Once PTC went into full effect on the Geneva, then it became anything goes. While foreign leaders are still rare, they do happen with a decent frequency. Rarer still though is catching a foreign Heritage Unit, such as 1067 here. I believe this was the unit's 2nd round trip leading on the Geneva since PTC started, but what makes this trip special is 1067 is looking resplendent having emerged from the paint shop just days before, and is on one of its first revenue runs after being cleared for service.
Macro Mondays: Everyday Carry
"This week, set your wallet/keys/phone aside and check your pockets or purse for the lip balm, pocket knife, lighter, flashlight, inhaler, multitool, floss, whistle, etc. that's always with you when you walk out the door."
For me this would also be glasses and a book, good thing I usually carry a big purse! :) Sometimes when you are waiting at an appointment or being on your lunch break it is good to have a book to read.
Thanks to all for your visit! HMM!
Since I am home most of the time now, I am looking for things around the house to shoot. These are my reading glasses.
The weekly Conrail power move from Reading to Enola approaches its destination as it crosses the Rockville Bridge. This assemblage of local power from Reading, usually predominated by former Reading SW900’s, SW1500’s, and MP15’s, could also include GP10’s, GP15-1’s and GP38’s. These locos were mostly assigned to five-day a-week jobs, and were serviced at Enola on the weekends. This day’s lineup included eight SW900’s, an MP15, a GP38-2, a GP15-1, and an outlier SD50.
sometimes, a defeaning silence covers the streets. those moments, anyone can invent a new alphabet. anyone.
The Reading & Northern “mountain job” serves Universal Forest Products in Gordon, Pennsylvania. The customer’s lumber business is located on the one-time site of the Reading locomotive facility. Gordon gained notice as the base for steam’s last stand on the Reading, when the last active T1 4-8-4’s were assigned to helper service here until 1957.

When I say that I'm a "travel photographer" (which is not actually something I say a lot, but it's been mentioned), I don't mean that I fly around the world to National Geographic locations. I generally don't fly at all.*
By travel, I mean that I generally don't shoot at home. I travel (drive) to the locations I photograph.
Usually, it's about three to five hours away from where I live. And often it's just a daytrip.
Once a year, I am fortunate enough to take a month off and travel the US by car. Then, I am mostly camping, staying in hotels only when I "have" to. Usually the camping is free and in a tent. I don't like sleeping in my car.
For me, photography is how I interpret the world outside of my daily world. I don't carry a camera with me basically ever (unless I'm traveling).
I'm sure flying with big cameras and film isn't that much of a pain in the ass. And I see the draw in being able to essentially teleport ones self to your destination. It allows you to explore that destination much more thoroughly than I am usually able to. There's a great benefit to this.
But I am also a travel photographer in the sense that I photograph what I see while I'm literally traveling.
In this photo, taken looking towards Steptoe Butte in the Palouse area of eastern Washington, I literally stopped on the road, got out of the car, grabbed my RB67, and took the shot.
I don't think there's some big controversy over what is and isn't travel photography (unlike the ridiculous arguments over what is and isn't street photography), but it's at least something to think about while I'm apparently taking some sort of break.
*I've flown three times in my life - 1984, 2007, 2020. Will I ever do it again?

Using a magnifying glass to highlight certain parts. Today's Age Newspaper along with a toy Christmas soldier. This magnifying glass has 2 parts - a larger green less magnifying part and a smaller green higher magnification. One of the reasons I like eBooks is that you can change the font size very easily for ageing eyes! HSoS this hot summers day in Melbourne
