I know it isn't perfectly apt for this image but I do love this wonderful poem by Denise Levertov. It is a hot day today and Chloe is coming to stay for the week-end. This is for all of you who love reading. Have a very fine Friday wherever you are and whatever time it is.
Suspended
I had grasped God's garment in the void
But my hand slipped
On the rich silk of it.
The 'everlasting arms' my sister loved to remember
Must have upheld my leaden weight
From falling, even so,
For though I claw at empty air and feel
Nothing, no embrace,
I have not plummeted.
Honestly it had never been brought to my attention that there was still an interlocking tower here until a post on one of the R&N Facebook groups (Friends of the Reading and Northern is my preferred one) so after Josh and I shot the RDCs and the LGSR arriving in an incredibly busy downtown Jim Thorpe on Saturday morning we ventured up into the state park. I started day drinking pretty early and had this walk in mind. This should've been the tail end of the 1pm Jim Thorpe departure and I think I was already 5 or 6 genny's deep.

This is the final photo of a senior session that ended a couple hours ago. Fun night with a full moon that lit up the hills beyond.

Reading Enviro 400 1212 heads west along the Colnbrook bypass with a Green Line service from Heathrow to Bracknell.
In a reversal of normal practice this vehicle moved to a major operator from a smaller independent, in this case Lloyds of Machynlleth where it was new with cherished plate LC61 WYN

In the reading rooms I wanted to represent a very simple idea, namely how much the content of a book can acquire reality for those who are reading it, becoming as present as the true reality. For this reason the rooms have a view towards the outside and the concrete world. Only by painting them, I realized that those windows are not an opening, the external landscape does not count at all, and the room is a refuge. The reader is somehow protected from the outside world as in a shelter, and his reality is only inside the book.
This original painting is available for sale. Contact me in case you are interested in more information about my work.
busy here at the moment (we've just released a set of presets over at Flypaper) so this is something I processed a while back and which never made it to Flickr.

I found this young boy reading under this tree on the drive home from work the other day. He was so relaxed and content... Luckily, my camera and zoom lens were by my side and there was a driveway across the street I could pull into to get a shot. I felt like a stalker, but I don't think he noticed.
This image speaks volumes about the importance of reading and starting at a young age. Unfortunately, I didn't value reading as a child and to this day, I'm still not a reader. Sure, I can read, I just don't take time to enjoy books and because of this, my writing suffers as well.
I'd love to begin reading...do you have any books you'd like to recommend?
One of the few shots taken of Wilts & Dorset buses - 1948 built Bristol K6b /ECW No.289 (FAM6) was attending a special run of London Trolley 260 at Reading on 8th.October 1967. The "London Transport" motif on the radiator is a nice touch - this was applied to new built buses transferred from Tilling fleets to LT - a temporary measure to cover shortages after the war.

GP30 5513 sits quietly along the Reading & Northern's recently acquired ex Reading trackage in North Reading PA-March 9, 1991.
The 5513 was built by EMD in March 1962 for the Reading Railroad as their 5513 but was renumbered into the C&O/B&O system's numbering scheme by the mid 1960s becoming the 3613 with hopes that the railroads would merge together at some point before the end of the decade. That merger never happened and the Reading was left adrift by it's parent road, B&O. The Reading's rail operations were merged into Conrail on April 1, 1976 with the 3613 becoming Conrail 2181. The unit worked for it's new owner for another 10 years before it was retired along with other GP30s and GP35s as Conrail sought to rid itself of all 567 powered locomotives. The Reading Technical & Historical Society stepped in and purchased the 2181 and restored it to it's as-delivered appearance. At the time of this slide (3/9/1991) the 5513 was being leased by the Reading & Northern as the R&N had recently expanded operations exponentially and found itself short of power.
