A somber day in Weirton as the BOP breathed its last. The blast was triggered at about 7:15, based on my camera clock which was about 2 minutes fast. The dust cloud blanketed the area for about an hour, looking almost like fog. I took pictures of the aftermath on film, and those will be off to developing soon.
A shot taken last month during another somber trip out to that well known B29 air crash site 'Overexposed' in the Peak District this time accompanied by a group of friends. Even with company the site felt just as lonely and desolate as my solo visit during the summer. The tragedy that took place here back in November 1948 where 13 people lost their lives seems to have left a long lasting psychological impact on the landscape. A true feeling of sadness can be felt here.

Ullswater, Blowick Bay on the left with the islands Wall Holm and Cherry Holm in sharper focus.
A cracking scene but the colour was washed out due to the sun hidden behind Place Fell. Maybe a better choice in monochrome that brings out that moody mist a bit better, hope you like it.
Signed the condolence book at the U.K. High Comission this morning. Expressed solidarity with victims, families, first responders and leaders in London. Remain calm and carry on. Kingston, JA

Black & White image of an empty chair on a screened-in porch, with backlighting creating a glowing halo effect, like a memory.
After a somewhat somber week of postings, I though I would lighten it up a bit for our Memorial Day weekend. The crabapples have been in full bloom gathering what moments of sun have been available during the onslaught of rain. Perfection in leaf and bloom in all forms of flora is what makes spring so wondrous to me.
Sometimes the day arrives when it is your turn to espouse views on the world. And yet you don't have anything to say. It happens.
Have a somber Friday my good friend - and then have a terrific weekend. :)

Somber morning twilight hues color a thunderstorm passing over the Baie Ste Anne and Mahe. Intentional camera movement interpretation simplifies the presentation to just tone and color. Another image made possible by the creative reach of a good telephoto lens.
Cheers!

Today, April 15, 1982, is a somber day for Bruce Sharpe. This is the last Conrail freight on the Utica Branch before operations are taken over by the NYS&W. The local has spent the morning clearing out empties from customers at Sherburne and Norwich and is now underway for Binghamton as seen at Division Street crossing in Norwich.
Headman Bruce has made his way from the fireman's side of the Conrail geep to the walkway to get one last look out at Division Street. Two houses down on the left is his brother Danny's home.
Bruce has been through here hundreds of times, and every time he passes here he makes sure he is on the east side of the train or the caboose or locomotive end platforms. In the DL&W and Erie Lackawanna days just about every train from the Norwich local to NE74 would slow here as Danny and sometimes his father Walt, a retired EL conductor, would be out on the porch enjoying what upstate New York has to offer and they would make their way to the track to hand up offerings to the crew and Bruce. Sometimes notes, sandwiches, and most importantly, Rule G violation refreshments. In today's world, and even when this shot was taken, this type of thing has become totally unacceptable. But from the mid 70's prior, a train without a six pack was like a train without a throttle. I was at this crossing one day in the summer of 75'. Bruce was conductor and had the engineer bring the train to a halt. There he invited me aboard EL C876 and we sped off for Oxford to do some switching. I was just 10 years old and this would be my first ride in a hack. What a different perspective than the locomotive. Quiet, relaxing, oh, and a much better view! Bruce gave me the VIP tour and even let me blow the back up whistle on the rear platform as we rolled through the Chenango Valley. I always knew Bruce as the brakeman who rode a runaway boxcar down Paris Hill trying to stop it from disaster and broke his back when it finally crashed. This was the first day that I really got to know him and is the memory I have most of him.
This photo, less than seven years after that ride to Oxford, would be the last time I would see him. I believe he went south to the RF&P, eventually CSX and retired in North Carolina.
On Tuesday, December 6, 2016, Bruce passed on at the age of 73 at is home in North Carolina taking another piece of Utica line railroad history along with him. RIP, Bruce.
Saturday night cruising in Paprihaven... at the Market Street Chevron the Paprihaven Association of Automotive Knock Offs (PAAKO) has gathered under rather somber conditions...
Hardley Handy kicks at a scuff on the concrete in front of his 1982 Corvette. "I can't believe Visaj's Dodge is totaled!" *
Flum Berg stands beside his 1980 Corvette in equal dismay. "It ain't enough those folk have real cars, they gotta smash up our KOs??"
In the world of 1:64 automobiles, brands like Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Corgi, Tomica, etc., are true vehicles with all the quality and design one would expect.
Then there are the knock-offs. Kidco. Tootsie. Playart. Visaj Raj's prized Dodge is a Yatming. It is the scale model version of "kit cars". Yet the owners of thes KOs are proud of their derivative drives and have formed PAAKO.
"Well, I've been saying, we need to really push them Zuru drivers* to join us! They're KOs just like us but they got big money in their cars!"
"Yeah, they'd give us the presence we need!"
Tardin Feathers stands quietly by his Fairlady 280Z-T. He's as upset as anyone about Raj's Dodge, but likes PAAKO as it is, quiet and dignified. Those Zuru drivers seem a bit wild.

Note, "Knock Off" here doesn't necessarily mean unlicensed. We're referring to brand knock-off as companies were providing a less expensive alternative to brands like Hot Wheels and Matchbox in a presentation that would cause the purchasing parents to be unaware that they were buying an inferior product.
Also... we love these cars! We greatly enjoy knock-offs in general and these cars are often quite unique and loads of fun. 😊
* Visaj Raj's Dodge was in a collision with Eric Greenlee's 57 Chevy in BP 2021 Day 275!
