On Memorial Day (2015), I visited Arlington National Cemetery and made a point to visit Section 60, the section where many of those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan have been laid to rest alongside service members from earlier wars. What I did not know is that many families spend the day in Section 60 on Memorial Day, meeting old friends and those with shared experiences while remembering their loved ones. In addition, the Memorial Day Flowers organization places a rose on every headstone in the section. All of this was very moving and very humbling when thinking of what all the families around me had sacrificed for our country. It was a heartfelt Memorial Day.
A few weeks ago I shot an assignment for the Metropolitan section of the New York Times which included a panorama you can see here if you scroll down a bit: www.nytimes.com/interactive/nyregion/new-york-panorama.ht...;
This is the full version of a similar shot

I'm playing with a 1959 35mm F2.8 Summaron, the kind with goggles for the M3 viewfinder. Looks silly, works better than expected. Well, except for this one which was wide open with a very slow shutter speed.

Twilight and moonrise at Springfield, Massachusettts' Union Station finds the Boston section of Amtrak's eastbound 'Lake Shore Limited' boarding passengers (including, shortly, myself) while the Greenfield-bound 'Valley Flyer' waits to depart northbound. While the station building itself here has recently undergone a beautiful restoration and renovation, work is still slowly ongoing at platform level.
The tail end of the Boston section is encrusted in icy snow- west of here in the Berkshires, and to the north in Vermont, heavy snow had recently fallen. The conductor here had assumed I was only taking photos and not actually boarding- by the time he pulled up the step, he realized the situation and let me on at the last second! Incidentally, I did not make it all the way to Boston on this trip, but that's another story.
The nosebleed section of CSX's former B&OCT 16th St. Bridge frames the Willis Tower in downtown Chicago. Willis Tower is still referred to by many by its original name and owner, Sears.
The 16th St. Bridge tender controlled (and technically still does, although the Air Line hasn't seen a train in a few years, and the B&OCT for many years) both drawbridges which are adjacent to each other and run parallel.
This location is not accessible to the public.

A new shooting session I want to share with you today!!
With Mr Din we make a shoot session with bikers from the "section slopestyle" of Grenoble.
Hard to catch their movement due to their speed and height they take when they jump!!
Enjoy that and have a great day!!!

This particular mausoleum has a stained glass window in the back with a "faceless Madonna with child". Tombs are 4 chambers high on either side.

New Haven Railroad EDER-5 class EMD FL-9 2050 and another lead a passenger train on a platform track as it enters an unidentified station in the electricified territory west of Stamford, Connecticut, ca early 1960's. There appears to be a good mix of passenger cars on this train.

The offices to this factory had plexiglass with cross sections of various insects and plants embedded in it.
The elbow of the black robot arm nests into the groove of the exposed pulley wheel in front of it, which has a 1x1 round on each side. This, combined with the 1x1 brick with studs on 2 sides, the hook, and the way the cannon is attached to both sides, holds the two helicopter blade pieces back to back with enough strength to support the weight of the wings. The technic connector with the T-bar and the horizontal clip with the cheese slope both nest between the two halves. The flashlight piece just below the cockpit fits into the 1x1 brick with studs on 2 sides and helps keep the engine in place. The technic visor technique is slightly modified from Mike Nieves.
P.S.: Flickr really should bring back notes so I don't have to explain all this in words. EDIT: notes added

The Louisiana Rail Bridge went into service 1873. The bridge is a through truss bridge with a total length of 2053 feet. The bridge has 446 foot cantilevered swing through truss which opens to allow river traffic pass. The bridge has a 14 foot clearance when the river is at pool when the span is closed. The bridge is currently owned by the Kansas City Southern Railway.
A section of line which sees minimal use compared to the "top end" between Belgrave and Menzies Creek, the line through the Wright Forest typically has only one train - and one loco - per day. One day in early September saw the Climax Locomotive Operating Committee put on a special train from Belgrave through to Gembrook; hauled by the railway's rare Climax locomotive no. 1694 from Belgrave to Menzies Creek, then double-headed with 14A (pictured) to Emerald where the Climax was detached and 14A proceeded on its own to Gembrook. On the return from Gembrook the special train combined with the regular Gembrook service, to double-head back to Belgrave.
Pictured here is 6A - from the regular Gembrook service - leading 14A across Bridge 8, the tallest bridge on the railway.

After my Dark Ages I only build official lego sets and have been a silent watcher of the online community since almost two years. Now this is my first bigger MOC. Comments and critiques are welcome.
The Leicester Line section of the Grand Union Canal, in Loughborough, Liecestershire.
What is now called the ‘Leicester Line’ comprised two canals that were bought by the Grand Junction Canal in 1894: the Leicestershire & Northamptonshire Union Canal and the ‘old’ Grand Union Canal.
The River Soar had been made navigable up to Loughborough by 1780, and the route was extended to Leicester in 1794. The Leicestershire & Northamptonshire Union Canal was promoted to continue the waterway to Market Harborough and Northampton, where it would meet the River Nene and the planned branch from the Grand Junction Canal at Gayton.
By 1797, when construction had only reached Gumley Debdale, the money had been used up. More was raised in 1805, and the canal got to Market Harborough four years later.
Meanwhile, the Grand Junction Canal from London to Braunston had opened. Alternative routes for joining the two canals were discussed and it was decided that a separate company to be called the ‘Grand Union Canal’ should be formed to make the link. (It is now often referred to as the ‘old’ Grand Union, to distinguish it from the canal of the same name created in 1929 when the Grand Junction merged with several other canals.) This opened from Norton Junction to Foxton in 1814, providing a direct route from the East Midlands coalfield and industrial towns to London.
Never prosperous, railway competition from the 1840s meant declining revenues, which led to reductions in maintenance. When in the early 1890s the Grand Junction was looking to revive the East Midlands trade, the two companies were very willing to be bought out, so in 1894 the Grand Junction paid £6,500 for the L&NU and £10,500 for the ‘old’ Grand Union — the better price for the latter probably reflecting the value of its reservoirs rather than its canal.
The Grand Junction rectified the arrears of maintenance, dredged their new purchases, and built the inclined plane at Foxton, bypassing the ten locks and speeding the passage of the boats. A further inclined plane was planned to bypass Watford Locks but was never built.
It was all too late: traffic grew slightly, but not by enough to make working Foxton incline economic, and in 1910 it was closed and traffic reverted to using the locks.

It's 350AM and the southbound 130 from Fairbanks disrupts the gentle quietness of Hurricane. Used as an MOW section house in the summer with a base camp of employees living in campers behind me, Hurricane is an important point on the railroad and a flag stop for the Hurricane turn. Soon the quietness will return and MOW employees are already reporting for duty waiting on the Anchorage bound train to clear. You can not explain what it is like being in the land of the midnight sun near the summer solstice, you just have to visit to understand it.
