Reading By Candlelight may not be good for ones eyes but sometimes the stories really seem to come to life. Ones imagination can open a mind to the point where you feel the horse beneath you and feel the wind in your hair. When reading in a well lit room the horse may not be so fast and your hair not even get messy. My advice is to keep the candle burning and don’t fall off of your Stallion. Thanks for viewing my work. Gratitude and Kindness helps keep the imagination active.
Since I had my eye surgery I have reasonable distance vision (for the first time since I was seven!) but no close vision at all so my reading glasses are something I really can't live without.
ANSH 107 (3) can't live without it
The power of a westbound Conrail train has just uncoupled from its train to make a pickup in Reading, Pennsylvania. Six month old C40-8W 6062 still serves NS today as its 8321. I personally think it looked much better in blue.
This is Bates Hall of the Boston Publi Library, it's so majestic and beautiful, it makes you feel smarter just by being there!

One thing I've got down to a science is panning heritage units in bad weather leading their way past Harris Tower in downtown Harrisburg. This shot is no different as NS 1067, the Reading heritage unit, leads train 66Z east through the first feet of the Harrisburg Line.

This is by way of introduction to an upcoming series of photos I will be posting from a recent visit to the market.
Reading Terminal Market - America's oldest farmers' market
The Reading Terminal Market, established in 1892 at 12th and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, is the nation’s oldest continuously operating farmers’ market. Through its long and interesting history, it has seen times both good and bad, but has emerged in the 21st century as one of the greatest public markets in the country.
When you visit the market, you can enjoy eating virtually every type of cuisine, from sublime soul food and exquisite Asian and Middle Eastern dishes to authentic Philly Cheesesteaks and traditional Pennsylvania Dutch fare — all available from largely family-run stands.
Why a Reading market in Philadelphia you ask - - -
In 1889, the Reading Railroad decided to build a train depot, passenger station, and company headquarters on the corner of 12th and Market Streets. The move came eight years after the Pennsylvania Railroad opened its Broad Street Station several blocks away at 15th and Market Streets, and one year after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad opened its 24th Street Station at 24th and Chestnut Streets.
The chosen location was occupied by an open-air market that had been in continuous operation since 1653. After loud complaints and much negotiation, the Railroad agreed to purchase the markets for $1 million and move them to a new structure: the Reading Terminal Market, located to the rear of the headhouse at 12th and Filbert Streets. This required the trainshed and all of its tracks to be constructed one story above street level, with the Reading Viaduct to bring trains in and out.
Reading Terminal served the railroad's inter-city and regional rail trains, many of which are still running as part of the SEPTA Regional Rail system that connects Center City with outlying neighborhoods and suburbs, especially to the north. Daily traffic peaked during World War II with up to 45,000 daily passengers, then declined in the 1950s with the advance of road and air travel. The terminal buildings declined with the railroad's fortunes as maintenance budgets were cut. The Reading declared bankruptcy on November 23, 1971.
The shed was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
It now houses some of the Pennsylvania Convention Center facilities.

This photo is made similar to the last one: The background is aluminium foil, which I crumpled. The light comes from a torch.
Dieses Foto ist ähnlich entstanden, wie das davor. Im Hintergrund befindet sich zerknitterte Aluminiumfolie und das Licht kommt von einer Taschenlampe, welche diese und das Buch beleuchtet.
