So many interesting scenes in this Florida State Park. The palms provide natural frames and it is always nice when a bird flies into the scene.

***BRAND NEW*** 2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility belonging to the Pennsylvania State Police. With many Troopers complaining about the newer look, where it says TROOPER in big letters, the state was in search of a new design. They decided to do a mix of new and old! Kept the new color, and brought back the old markings from the white vehicles. As far as I know and have seen, this is the only one in the state. I do not know if this a temporary look, or a permanent future for the state police.
Lackawanna State Park is a 1,445-acre (585 ha) Pennsylvania state park in Benton and North Abington Townships, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania in the United States. Lake Lackawanna, a 198-acre (80 ha) man-made lake, is the central focus of recreation at the park. Lackawanna State Park is located near Dalton on Pennsylvania Route 524 just off exit 199 of Interstate 81.

Rock Island Train No. 4, the Golden State, passes through the west end of East LaSalle in 1960 with a pair of EMD E7s.
The joint CRI&P / Southern Pacific train ran against the Union Pacific / Milwaukee Road City of Los Angeles and the Santa Fe Super Chief on the Los Angeles - Chicago corridor. A longer schedule and more bland scenery on the Golden State route made it difficult to compete with the more well-known rivals. The main advantage the train offered was connections to many intermediate cities which were not easily reached by either of the other two trains.

Unit D6 9, (Troop D, 6: New Castle County.) On its final day at the Fleet Garage in the Butler Barracks. With 122,718 miles, she is put out of service two days before this was taken. PSP's cutoff was 100,000 until budgetary issues moved it to 125,000. As far as I know, this is the last Ford Crown Victoria on the Western side of the state, for the Eastern side holds them for a long time.

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "With an estimated population in 1925 of 2999,239, Chicago is the second largest city in the United States, and although it is a thousand miles from the ocean, it is one of the greatest ports in our country. the low, flat land on which the city is built was once covered by the waters of Lake Michigan. Chicago has no natural harbor, but by widening and deepening the mouth of the Chicago river and by protecting it by breakwaters an excellent harbor has been made. the River itself, which used to flow into the lake, has been transformed into a drainage canal by which the waters of Lake Michigan flow into the Illinois River and finally into the Mississippi. § Chicago is the largest meat market in the world and the greatest railroad center."

This is not about a movie nor is it about a pothole in the road. If you can't handle potholes then there is no need to travel up to Gold Hill, Colorado. Go to Google Terrain and examine the Street View shots throughout Gold Hill without the dirt street bumps. This is just a reflected view of the north side of Main Street. There was not much room here that kept me from the reflections. Still, I thought it was a good venue for a study of s reflected autumn in the high multitudes. I ever wonder if I could finish the possible captures. Therein, I will never know if I can see well enough to make a finish of it. I rather like that feeling! Should I pass on winter shots up here?
I snagged this gold camp homage as I wandered up Main Street Street in Gold Hill as long as eDDie was chatting with a gal down the street. I got quite a few as he chatted. I bet this is a cozy spot in a snow with a fire built in a wood stove.A National Historic registry means you can watch the game instead of painting the place! I like how the sun burnt grasses jump from the shady cabin. The aspen trees, reflected from the north side of Main were gold and green while largely green on the this side. I am certain that I have still not finished my foray into Gold Hill photography or backlit subjects. This will always be backlit. A "lode" of opportunities exist up and down the handful of streets up at Gold Hill; this is yet one more dated domicile after lumber mills arrived in the area. I moved until I just got away from my reflection. I expect the historical designation is responsible for most of the ambiance not withstanding new roofs, replacement windows and steel door. Often lumber mills arrived at booming camps early and provide construction lumber but not much has been covered with the the pestilence of vinyl siding. This place is as glam as it gets in Gold Hill. At least they can get to their front door. That's not always easy in Gold Hill. HaHaHaHaHa
Gold Hill is a remnant of the oldest Colorado mining days and I caught sight of this shot near the intersection of Lickskillet Gulch Road and Horsfal Street at the main intersection. Horsfal becomes Main. To say Gold Hill tops a mountain ridge is accurate with the road east and west rise slightly while Lickskillet, north to Lefthand, and Gold Run, south to Boulder Creek, drop off the sides of the ridge. The Horsfal Lode was the earliest (1859) mine in Gold Hill and was responsible for the earliest development. That's even before they salted a mine for Horace Greeley. As Wiki puts it: Gold Hill is accessible from nearby Left Hand Canyon Road via Lick Skillet Road, the steepest county road in the United States. It IS safe in first gear IF you have good brakes. It seems that we barely managed the project.
Gold Hill has lasted for decades through the original gold boom, the second gold boom, the silver boom and its 1893 demonetization and finally the return to reliance on gold mining and processing. It has never completely died and is not accurately, a ghost town. It's history of transportation was a bit tortured considering one route was Lickskillet. I assume most transportation was to and from the Gold Hill Railway Station when the Switzerland Trail rails were laid west on its way to Ward. The steep sides of the canyon originally meant the road up from Boulder had to ascent the canyon. Old Gold Hill still lives on in this century-old mining camp. The narrow gauge route was never built from old Hill Station (see the map). It continued to cling to the foothills above Boulder.

The Missouri State Penitentiary was a prison in Jefferson City, Missouri, that operated from 1836 to 2004. Part of the Missouri Department of Corrections, it served as the state of Missouri's primary maximum security institution. Before it closed, it was the oldest operating penal facility west of the Mississippi River. It was replaced by the Jefferson City Correctional Center, which opened on September 15, 2004.

Still owned by State of Missouri, The Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) opened in 1836 along the banks of the Missouri River in Jefferson City, Missouri, the state capital. The prison housed inmates for 168 years and was the oldest continually operating prison west of the Mississippi until it was decommissioned in 2004. Now the Jefferson City Convention & Visitors Bureau offers a wide variety of tours at the site, once named the “The bloodiest 47 acres in America” by Time Magazine.
In 1831 Jefferson City’s hold on the capital city status was a tenuous one. To ensure that it remained the seat of government, Governor John Miller suggested a prison be built in Jefferson City. Construction began in 1834 and the first inmate arrived in 1836. From then on the prison became famous for being one of the most efficient in the country…and infamous for its notorious inmates and the 1954 riot on its grounds.
A former Union General, the first train robber, 1930s gangsters, world champion athletes, and the assassin that killed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. all came through the gates of the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) as inmates. Some left MSP for successful careers in the arts, sports, and even state government; others chose a life of more crime.
In September of 1937, Governor Lloyd Crow Stark signed a bill calling for execution by lethal gas. No longer would the local sheriff be responsible for carrying out the death penalty for those convicted in his county. The days of public hangings in Missouri were to finally come to an end. Many members of the legislature were strongly opposed to the bill and argued that more death sentences would result. Nevertheless, Missouri was, on the whole, a state that supported the death penalty for serious crimes. The bill was changed to lethal gas instead of the electric chair, and passed. In total, 40 inmates were put to death in the gas chamber between 1937 and 1989 when MSP death row ended and all capital punishment inmates were moved to the new prison at Potosi.
In 1985, officials from the MSP, the Department of Corrections, and the Division of Adult Institutions unearthed an old cell block that predated the Civil War. The discovery happened after a court order was issued to put in a recreation yard for offenders that were on death row. When the construction between Housing Units 2 and 3 began, and the crews started digging, they realized they hit something solid. This finding led to an exploration of six cells built around 1848, which were part of the long-buried Centennial Hall. Based on research, this is now believed to be the oldest existing building on the MSP property.
From the earliest days there was a need to isolate the female convicts that came to the Missouri State Penitentiary. Unfortunately, there was little provision for their incarceration. A number of female federal prisoners were sent to MSP because there were no federal facilities for women at the time. Their crimes were, in many cases, violations of immigration, naturalization or conspiracy laws, which coincided with the heightened fears during WWI.
During the years of 1953 and 1954 there had been a rash of prison riots across the United States. Many feared the Missouri system was ripe for an outbreak as well. The potential for riot became a popular topic of conversation which the Missouri Highway Patrol took very seriously, drafting a plan and training officers how to respond to such an event. The advance preparation would come in handy before long.
Keeping desperate and restless people behind bars will always present challenges to corrections officials. Early in the Missouri State Penitentiary’s history escapes were commonplace. Between a lack of a secure perimeter and prisoners working in the community, many escapes were accomplished without much planning or ingenuity.
In conjunction with the Missouri State Penitentiary tours, the museum residing in the lower-level of the Col. Darwin W. Marmaduke House provides additional historical information about the famous prison that operated for 168 years. The museum houses MSP memorabilia as well as a replica cell that demonstrates the living conditions at the prison. Visitors can view the many displays that provide information on prison industries, contract labor/private industries, life inside the walls and control/counter-control as well as items on loan from former Deputy Warden Mark Schreiber.

Unit 7 with the Maryland State Police. This was taken outside Barrack "O" in Hagerstown, Maryland. This 2006-2008 K9 unit will soon be retired along with all the Ford Crown Victoria's Maryland State Police has. They will be missed.
Taken from the interstate, the gold dome of the state capital building stands out from the other buildings in downtown Atlanta. Finished in 1889, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
