You came back to haunt me and I realized
you were an island and I passed you by,
You were an island to discover.
...So I crawl back into your open arms.
Yes, I crawl back into your open arms.
Not very happy with this shoot.

Extended caption: Congress authorized the Navy Nurse Corps female division on May 13, 1908, to ensure the Navy had a group of trained nurses to serve in hospitals or on hospital ships. The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery selected its first group of 20 nurses, known as the Sacred Twenty, in November 1908. These women were civilians and were paid only when on active duty. Applicants had to be graduates of at least a two-year program in a general hospital training school with clinical experience in the field. Applicants were also required to pass an examination of their professional, moral, mental, and physical fitness. Upon selection, these nurses completed three more months of orientation and training in naval medicine at the Naval Medical School Hospital in Washington, D.C., before being assigned to naval hospitals in Washington, D.C.; Norfolk, Virginia; Annapolis, Maryland; and Brooklyn, New York.
The Florida Central & Peninsular Railway's expanded depot at Silver Springs is shown with the Hart's Line steamboat Okeehumkee at the wharf in 1900. A sharp eye can catch the rail line's marked boxcar at the left corner of the building. Also of interest are some rails at the left side of the image, which belong to the old Silver Springs & Western Railroad.

Finally got an Infrared set-up working. I am taking advantage of my Sony DSC-V3's 'night shot' mode, which pulls the IR-blocking hot mirror away from the light-path. Stacking a 720nm filter and a ND8 filter in front of the lens, I am getting pretty good IR captures.
The above image was done by compositing the luminosity (L) channel from an IR capture with the color channels (AB) from a visible spectrum capture of the same scene. This was a bit tricky as I had to apply an affine transformation to the visible image to adjust for the different optical paths as the camera swaps in and out the hot mirror. If anyone wants the details of how this was done, drop me a line.
We saw this gator through the bottom of our glass bottom boat. It's hard to tell from this perspective, but he was huge! Our guide said it was rare to see one lying at the bottom of a spring like this.

my favorite photo of my hood. I've lived here 20 years, I love it. I just wish people wouldn't tear down so much of our past and build annoying high rise apartments.

Remember when this building used to say WGAY? That was always good for a snicker, but interestingly those call letters are now used by an Internet station that actually IS gay-themed.

Map of the Ocklawaha Valley Railroad, ca. 1920. The route roughly paralleled the course of the Ocklawaha River from Silver Springs. Begun as a logging railroad based in a lumber mill in Rodman, the company was established after the Ocala Northern Railroad was absorbed in 1915. A lease with the SAL for trackage rights to Ocala was renewed after the merger. Courtesy State Archives Collection
