June 29, 2011: Moor Street Station - Birmingham, Worcestershire, England
camera to concrete perspective
This a two page spread (25"x11") from my travel book FACES & PLACES: England. I did not kiss the platform in case you were wondering. Auto-focus is a wonderful thing.
A trio of barns cruise past a long out-of-service block signal on the Moosehead Sub at Demo Rd. A late departure from Brownville brought the sun around to a slightly more favorable position than normal.

Due to more modern forms of communication the old signal post in IJmuiden (small building next to the lighthouse) lost its function (and signal lights) and became a one room hotel. It’s a unique place to spend the night with a great view over the harbour entrance. On a cold and windy night you could stay inside and just enjoy the view… or go outside and take some long exposure shots ;-)
A passing Canadian National freight train crosses the International Railroad Swing Bridge at sunset. In the background are the International Bridge and the Sault Canal- -a Parks Canada National Historical Site.
The International Railroad Swing Bridge was built in 1895 by the Dominion Bridge Company of Canada based upon a Baltimore truss design. The bridge features extensive v-lacing and lattice for support. The bridge was originally a pin connected structure; however, the bridge has been altered in the past with additional steel bolted on to increase rigidity.
The Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge is a 4.5 kilometer / 2.8 mile long metal Cantilever (suspended deck) Warren Through Truss two lane bridge with a two span arch over the American Soo Locks and a single span arch over the Canadian Sault Canal. It was designed by the New York architectural firm of Steinman, Boynton, Gronquist and London; the bridge opened October 1962.
The Sault Canal opened in 1895 as a ‘Canadian‘ alternative to the nearby American Soo Locks. Closed in 1987 due to a lock wall collapse, the canal was reconstructed and reopened for recreational boating use in 1998. The Canal is operated as a National Historic Site by Parks Canada: when it opened, it was the world’s first to be operated electrically, and it was the world’s longest lock- -the lock was 274 metres / 899 feet long and 18 metres / 59 feet wide.

Georgia got into the grocery business quite by accident. She was an avid celery proponent and commissioned a sign for her backyard garden. Unfortunately, the sign maker had celebrated Saint Paddy's Day the day before he made Georgia's sign and dropped some of the letters in the sign!
