A-9105 (ALCo DL537) leads meter gauge train 302 across the Korinthos Canal on June 25, 1997. To my delight the tank vessel Naysika passed through the canal from the west. The timing couldn't have been better.
I was standing on the busy two-lane road bridge and the constant traffic noise made it difficult to anticipate the train. However, just to the right was Isthmos station where the train had a scheduled stop. The horn blant on departure gave me enough time to be prepared for the shot and I only hoped the ship would be out of the shadow cast by the bridge. The sound of the horn also let me know that an ALCo was working the train and not an Alsthom.
Some delicious Souvlaki and ice-cold Heineken were in order after that.

Excerpt from stjacobsmarket.com:
Located an hour outside of Toronto, the nearby countryside is home to many local farmers and crafters who bring their products to our iconic market. Since 1975, visitors have enjoyed St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market where over 300 vendors gather each week inside three main buildings and in an outdoor area that swells as the growing season progresses.
Fresh local fruits and vegetables, quality meats and cheeses, locally-produced maple syrup, honey, preserves, baking, authentic cuisine from many cultures, imported produce, various gluten-free and organic options, local crafts and housewares are just a slice of what you’ll find here. Visit our skilled and friendly butchers offering enticing cuts of meat, who will happily produce custom cuts and special orders. The St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market is also well-loved for its ready-to-eat foods prepared on site. A great place for breakfast or lunch — try some fresh apple fritters, sausage on a bun, donair kebab, pizza, souvlaki, sushi, falafel and more.
Thanks for visiting Greece. Have a good time! Syrtaki, souvlaki, kalamaraki, opaaa!!! Ωπααα!!!

Pork souvlaki and veggies await a rendezvous with rice and home-made tzaziki sauce.
Public holiday here in honour of Queen Victoria's Birthday.
Saturday, 24 July 2021: our temperature is 24C (feels like 24C) just after 1:00 pm. Sunrise is at 5:50 am, and sunset is at 9:34 pm. Yet again, or should I say 'still', under a Special Air Quality Statement. "Wildfire smoke from BC is causing poor air quality and reduced visibility. High risk Air Quality Health Index values will likely occur at times through weekend over much of southern Alberta." From the Weather Network.
Two days ago, I needed to get out for a bit, so I went for a drive W and SW of Calgary. One of my stops was at the place where I had seen two Common Loons on 16 July 2021. I thought I would quickly check to see if a Loon was anywhere to be seen. Apparently, one of the Loons flies off somewhere else and then comes back occasionally, maybe a few days later. When I first arrived, one was not too far away, but immediately dived underwater and reappeared almost at the far side of the pond. Another dive and it was almost too far even to be seen. That was the way it stayed. The best part was when a good friend pulled up and we had a lovely chance to catch up. She mentioned which road they were going to take to get to the area where I had planned to go, so I did the same. Very little to see, apart from a Brewer's Blackbird with a beak full of insects for his babies. A pleasant drive, though, with a few very steep hills. At one point, the road in the distance looked almost as it it was going straight up vertically, but was not as bad as it looked.
The wetland that is my main wetland to go to, is dried up and all I saw were three or four Red-winged Blackbirds. No Snipe or Black Terns, etc.. The water shortage is having a devastating effect in so many places.
Three or four old barns/sheds saved the day for me, even though I had seen them all before : )
Back in the city, I called in at Plaka Greek Restaurant in Deer Ridge, Calgary. Chicken souvlaki wrap with Greek salad to take home with me. So good!
The next day, yesterday, was a great day - I got a HAIRCUT! Feels much, much better.
My computer is driving me crazy, maybe because I am almost out of space. It messes up practically everything I try to do, sigh. Hopefully, next week, I will be able to get some old photo folders checked and deleted.

This picture was taken with my Pentax Spotmatic F film camera using a SMC Takumar 1:1.4 50mm lens. This is a scan from a negative. There was no color adjustment made by me or the photo lab "Lozeau" from Montreal over 16 years ago. Taken in 2002. (See in French below)
Cette photo a été prise avec mon appareil photo Pentax Spotmatic F en utilisant un objectif SMC Takumar 1:1.4 50mm. Il s'agit d'un scan à partir d'un négatif. Il n'y a eu aucun ajustement de couleur fait par moi ou le laboratoire photo "Lozeau" de Montréal il y a plus de 16 ans. Prise en 2002
This was taken on Broadway, between 101st and 102nd Street

As I wrote a few years ago, in another Flickr set: every spring and every fall, a street fair magically appears along a half-mile stretch of Broadway in our neighborhood. I don't know where the vendors come from, or where they store their booths and supplies; I have visions of them camped in squalid tents somewhere in the wilderness of New Jersey for the rest of the year, anxiously counting the days until they can invade the city once again. As I discovered on a billboard placed on the street at this year's fair, the vendors sneak quietly from one neighborhood to another in the middle of the night throughout the spring and fall, from Manhattan to Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Staten Island.
Anyway, I've dutifully photographed the fairs for the past several years; if you're interested, here's the Flickr collection for the fairs that I've photographed in previous years. It's always the same: colorful, hand-made baskets from Central America, cheap socks, scented candles, specialty soaps, sunglasses, trinkets, and outrageous, profane t-shirts. Booths selling reggae music, discount subscriptions to the New York Times and Daily News, and chiropractors earnestly telling passers-by how they can make anyone's back feel good once again. Volunteer organizations beseeching tourists and residents for donations to some worthy cause, and a few street musicians making a racket with their over-amplified music.
And then there's the food: gyros, sausage, candy apples, souvlaki, corn on the cob (lots of corn on the cob -- it seems liked everyone had one), lemonade, watermelon, French crepes, hot dogs, calzone, funnel cake, zeppoles, shish kebab, pickles, olives, french fries, onion rings, spring rolls, and Thai food. For the past fewyears, we were spared the fried twinkies, deep-fried oreo cookies, another such greasy atrocities....
I had assumed that the whole thing would be "deja vu all over again," which is why I've skipped these fairs for the past couple years. But it’s been a while, and I have to admit that I couldn’t resist it this time: I decided that it wouldn't take too much time to stroll the 10-block stretch of booths just one time. And while the booths and the vendors were basically the same as before, one thing struck me: nearly everyone was eating something. I didn't think the food looked any tastier than before, but perhaps everyone had skipped breakfast ...
Anyway, I took 1,500+ photos by the time I got to 106th Street and back to my starting point at 96th, and ended up with about 15 that looked reasonably interesting...
This was taken on Broadway, between 97th and 98th Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
