I had no intention or doing any shooting this particular morning. I had to drop off my truck for some routine service so instead of sitting around I took a stroll around downtown and then met a friend for coffee and a fabulous breakfast at Burgundian
But after breakfast I was going to leave when I saw CSXT local L007 pop out onto the corridor to head down to East Junction. So despite the gray misty weather I ran down there for one shot then came back to the platform to await their return east. Since I was here anyway I grabbed this shot of Amtrak Boston to Washington regional train 173 approaching MP 197 on Track 1 of Amtrak's New Haven Line with the standard ACS64 and eight car string of Amfleets.
At center right in the background, barely visible behind the clutter of catenary poles and the signal on Track 4 for BORO interlocking, is the old wooden tower that was known as SS165 in New Haven Railroad days. Allegedly constructed in 1898, it was relocated here when the NH undertook their massive grade separation project through town and built their two new stations between 1903 and 1906. This tower also holds the distinction of being the last in service on the corridor in the state, not closing down until 1993. Amazingly it survives nearly three decades later despite regular reports of its imminent demise.
At left stands the brick Second Congregational Church that was constructed in 1904 on Park Street looking over this scene. The congregation dates from 1748 and is a daughter church of the First Congregational Church in the old town section of North Attleborough. This is actually the third structure in which congregants have gathered. Originally located in a meeting house on what is now the common, Second Congregational had a stately white clapboard building built in 1825 which was removed in the early 1950s to make way for the addition of a new Fellowship Hall and education rooms. The clock in the tower of this third building was owned originally by the city but now belongs to the church and seems to be keeping perfect time.

This artwork, made by JS in 2015, framed a very happy moment of our Artist's Collective. It was made to ideally depict the entwinned/interwoven brotherhood among bro Jacob Sibbern (left, visible becos he is 1.83 mt tall, lol, sis WhiteAngel on the right as 1.73 mt,and bro Stefano Wolf,the tallest in the centre as 1.96 mt). Jacob painted it during his first months when he moved to Italy before definitelly relocating himself here in 2016.
White inks drawing (posca markers for the main 3 figurines & basement) plus watercolors painting on hard paper.

Canadian Pacific train 284 was passing underneath the B12 signal bridge at Edgington in Franklin Park in 2003.
CEFX SD9043MAC 121 was sold to Norfolk Southern and rebuilt into SD70ACU 7333.
The Indiana Harbor Belt tracks in the foreground have since been removed and relocated to the east as part of the Grand Avenue underpass project.
UP GP40-2 1361 leads a local in Superior, WI. Once a regular unit on the Harvard Sub, the elimination of ATS in favor of PTC has caused it to be reassigned up here to the other end of Wisconsin.
im almost 100 percent sure this was the last time we shot in this field; its since been fenced off. which is so totally unfair.

This huge bronze statue of the Iron Duke has caused an uproar since its unveiling. Its not that the good citizens of Edinburgh resent his presence but more that he blocks the busiest street in the city. Some would like him relocated, but its likely he will stand his ground.
thanks to brenda starr for the texture...she has free ones available at www.flickr.com/photos/brenda-starr/4485511681/in/pool-140.... if i can get my head around textures i'll definitely be saving up for some of the flypapers from borealnz...jill your images are amazing and i'm saving my $'s :).
starting to get colder here so i'm jealous of all the spring shots from my contacts. thought i'd enjoy a tasty mac's dark beer and have some fun in photoshop. have a great weekend everyone!

Fast Forward about six minutes from yesterday's post and we come to a subject that I try to visit on each trek to the park. The relocated boulders that for some time occupied a spot on the hill where they were surrounded by a bright orange plastic snow fnce. I was so happy when they were moved to their new location.
Rarely do I ever clone things out of a photograph, and when I do it may just be a blade of grass or something minor at the edge of the frame. In this case though I cloned out a couple of my footprints from a previous visit. They were at the lower right hand corner, and were in my opinion both distracting and messed with balance. I am good with that as it does not really alter permanent reality, if that makes sense. The snow will not always be there. If there was say a powerline running through the sky i would never think about removing that as that would be changing the actual scene.
Likely a couple of clicks to the best detail.
I don't care for staging shots at all, but sometimes, when I find a bug on the side of the house, shooting it right there can make for a pretty boring backgound. This broad-nosed weevil is the species Otiorhynchus raucus and it was one of those - on the (light grey) side of the house.
I therefore took the liberty of relocating it two meters and place it one a leaf in the garden and proceeded to shoot it there instead.
This was shot at 2.7:1 magnification and is a short focus stack of three exposures as it was kind enough to stay still for me.
CPR Water Tower was bult in 1904 in the District of MacGregor and relocated in 1987 to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum Homesteaders' Village in Austin Manitoba Canada
This water tower was originally built by the CPR at MacGregor and donated and moved to the Museum in 1987. It is the only water tower known to have been moved.
When rail lines were constructed through Manitoba, the railways had to construct water towers along the lines as steam locomotives needed water on a regular basis. These tanks were constructed at regular intervals along rail lines These towers held about 40,000 gallons (about 180,000 litres) of water and would enable the locomotives to fill quickly and frequently.
In most cases, water had to be pumped into the water towers from a lake or creek. At times the railways had to construct significant facilities to supply water to the track side tanks. The MacGregor tower was gravity filled from Jacksons Lake, seven miles south of Sidney, some 15 miles from MacGregor. In other cases, dams were built on creeks or rivers to assure the railway of an adequate supply.
The tower is 54 feet high and consists of two separate structures. The 40,000 gallon inner tub is made of 3″ thick cedar and is supported by 16′ square timbers, 22′ high in the air. The height provides the gravity pressure needed to fill the locomotives.
The outer shell, which is not attached to the tub, simply serves as an insulated cover for the water. By having a stove at the bottom of the building during the winter months, the outside shell would prevent the water from freezing. It was quite common that railway water towers in eastern Canada did not have the outer shell as winter weather was not as severe as in Western Canada. These outer shells were not often found on US railroads either as these roads were further south enjoying warmer winter weather.
CPR and CNR wooden water tower designs were quite similar. Apparently the CNoP, a predecessor to the CNR, and the CPR had a close relationship with each other when the CNoP first appeared as MacKenzie and Mann, owners of the CNoP, had been very reliable construction contractors for the CPR. They were able to borrow a number of building plans from the CPR which partially explains why CPR and CNR buildings in the west often appear quite similar.

On the first day of the new year I went to Santa Cruz, California, for sunset at the Twin Lakes State Beach. After sunset I relocated to the Natural Bridges State Beach for some long exposure shots at night. I was pretty dark when I took this shot.
I processed a realistic and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Opened in 2000, closed/relocated in October 2008
The kids had spotted this little 'un in the house. Decided to relocate it somewhere more suitable (Apple tree in the garden) and have a go at photographing it
Only about 10 minutes after MBTA train 814 passed as seen in the prior post: flic.kr/p/2ojPyVf Amtrak Acela train 2190 followed headed toward Boston on Main 2.
The platforms and overhead bridge at this brand new station are also pretty decent railfan photography locations for the constant parade of Amtrak and MBTA trains as well as four or five freight moves daily on the freight only track that passes by along the north side. This telephoto view from the far west end of the inbound platform shows the New Haven era milepost 189 and the weedgrown remains of the freight yard tracks at left that weren't removed to accommodate the new station and parking lot. Also of note partially visible above the train and beyond the Conant Street overpass is the pagoda style roof of the old Woodlawn interlocking tower which once controlled access to the big Northrup Avenue Yard as well as the smaller Pawtucket Yard here and a set of mainline crossovers when this area was once four main tracks. Later after SS156 at Boston Switch was closed in 1935 this tower took over those duties with total control over about three miles of busy mainline.
Built by the New Haven in 1914 it was known as SS154 in NH days and LAWN in the PC and Amtrak eras. This tower remained in service until 1991 when centralized control was transferred to CTEC and it was shuttered along with the remaining towers along the route including Attleboro, Kingston, High Street, Groton, and Old Saybrook. Derelict and forlorn it remainins standing as a link to railroading's past.

Most spiders don't enjoy the indoor climate here very much. It is generally way to dry for them and even though they might be drawn to the warmer temperatures, the low humitidy will kill them (with some exceptions).
The common candy-striped spider (Enoplognatha ovata) like this male are definitely better off outside so when I found him on a wall inside I swiftly relocated him to the garden - and took a couple of shots of course!
The "candy stripe" part of the name is a reference to the female which is a paler colour with a pinkish-red stripe along the abdomen.

It is a Generation 2 Ford Falcon (North America). It could be a 1964 model or 1965. The grille is for a 1964 model but the tail lights are for 1965.
This one has been customized considerably. The door handles have been replaced and the fuel filler has been relocated from the back presumably into the trunk. The bumpers have been painted to match the car body.
Another sample shot from the PZ16-50 kit lens. Light was extremely blah here, so I went with the flow and desaturated further by just a wee bit. Two clicks to full view.
I was thrilled to find these boulders in their new location. During late summer I had spoken with a couple of town employees that were doing some bobcat work around the monument boulder area. I mentioned to them how the Hill was the central focal point of the entire park and how the boulders that were stored on the hill looked poor with the bright orange snow fence surrounding them. The fence was placed there so that tobogganers would not crash into the boulders.
Well it took a while, but there is no more bright orange snow fence ruining shots of the hill. I like to think that I had something to do with the relocation. And their new location close to the edge of the pond is great with the hill in the background. No doubt I will be shooting these more in the future, in fact I should have a post coming up within a week.
BNSF 5156 heads south on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. (track mark west) with the final CitiRail power move, the D-ALNSTL3 27T, here at Mp. 28 at Machens, MO. The units are headed for the Prairie Lines yard for storage in St. Louis, MO. near the Anheuser Busch brewery.

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIZION AND BY THE TIME YOU SEE THIS THEY WILL ALL BE IN A MUCH SAFER PLACE

"Wildflower Sunset at Sunset Crater:" The clouds shifted direction one evening while I was in Flagstaff shooting sunset, and I couldn't resist a last-minute change of plans to relocate myself to try to capture the colors in sky and land while these wildflowers that never last long enough were blooming. I was glad to arrive just in time to capture the sunlight still on the peak of Sunset Crater itself, making it glow a fiery red that to me was just a hint reminiscent of its volcanic past.
We followed a caravan through the cattle drive. You can see how orderly they generally were. Barraba, New South Wales.
I couldn’t get to Sad Hill Cemetery while I was in Spain ... so I checked out Madrid’s Cemeterio de la Almudena instead. More people are buried there than are alive in the city.
Apparently, the remains in this large tomb were relocated. There seemed to be no urgency about repairing or demolishing the remaining structure.
A few hours later, we've relocated back to the pass and find the 113 local rolling downhill on track 1 at Walker.

With the reinstatement into the Imperial War Machine, I found myself and my brothers in arms relocated to the planet BATUU. At the time of the operation, it was unclear as to the importance, but myself and the courageous men of the Fist were confident that we were taking part in what would be written in the books of history. That our lives, our contributions, would echo for eternity.
At the time, our reformed Empire was making bold statements through movements, occupations, liberations, extractions and of course, reformations of systems across the galaxy. The Old Republic needed to be torn down, replaced with true Justice, Order and to exterminate the Enemies of the people, such as the traitorous Knights we called the Jedi. Their beliefs are outdated, allowed to survive off the backs of the less educated, informed, swindled portions of the population. To this we say no more.
We arrived on BATUU with our ferocious, fearless and without flaw, brutal Lord, with the task to eliminate the Enemies of the people. Our Empire made sure the Fist was well equipped for any and all Foe we were to encounter here. With weapon caches for entire fleets, modified vehicles to keep our troopers secured, we scoured the planet for any signs. Time went on, we went on. During the liberation, we were informed about the continued efforts of reform at the heart of our democracy, Coruscant.
It was silent, too silent. At this point, several rotations had passed us, no signs. Our officers, and even at one point Lord Vader, assumed that our Enemies had left us. Deep down though, I knew this to be different. This was a group of crusaders that had existed for tens of thousands of years. If we turned a blind eye now, they would simply return, and in greater numbers. - Commander Hock
One picture I really wanted to capture from the Dark Times Occupation of Batuu Collaboration was one with Commander Hock, Lord Vader and the Fist. I was super pleased with capturing this shot just in time at the convention and I think it gives the appropriate setting for these characters. In addition to this being a separate shot to showcase Hock, this is also a scene entry for Dark Times.

I just thought I needed to know
when things become skew-whiff
and recollection is on the go
for reality to steal the show, as if!
that solace is found in the comfort of memory
a souvenir footnote at the end of the day
visually situate, that moment no longer allusory
for it's finding is now here to stay!

Key West Cemetery was relocated from Higgs Beach to this site in 1847 after being ravaged by a hurricane the previous year.Over 75000 people are interred here in in-ground and crypt style graves,given the closeness to sea level.Some prominent memorials in the cemetery include those to the Battleship Maine Disaster and one honoring those who served in the 1868 Cuban Revolution.Cultural diversity is in prominent display here as sites range from elaborate markers to simple headstones.
