America's Most Historic Prison
Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. Its vaulted, sky-lit cells held nearly 85,000 people over its long history, including bank robber "Slick Willie" Sutton and "Scarface" Al Capone.

Had a fun time visiting Eastern State Penitentiary. Many dark / creepy shots! Had to shoot at high ISO and low focal length as I did not carry my tripod.
I liked this picture because the cell block was closed off, so no people in the shot. I think it's cool how the wide angle accentuates the long corridor with cell after cell after cell.
As a beacon of hope, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

In mid-July, my husband's veggie garden is still in pretty good shape. Later on, the weeds will get the upper hand [and I will be laboring in gardens of my own]. Squash and potatoes have their own garden, since they take up so much space.
Just filling out the Tops of 2018 album with on that was long ago shared on FB but not here. I'm ready to go back now that icicle season is upon us! Here is the caption I wrote at the time:
Here is another I like from a couple winters ago that was on FB but not Flickr.
This is the story I wrote at the time:
It All Comes Together - Part 2
So after this long and frustrating chase that I drowned on about in this post:
facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2001012096865568&id...
I wasn't quite sure what to do next. Knowing that no eastbounds had left Selkirk yet I finally took time for a leisurely (and phenomenally good!) lunch in Chatham. Then after lunch I headed back to CP175 just east of the downtown core and saw that it was still all red.
So I checked in with Dan P. Lowe and he said Q424 (that normally meets the 425 I chased) was still not out of SK. Well great, my chance for shooting my first ever freight at State Line tunnel was looking less and less likely. But I figured I still had two hours of usable light at that point and Chatham had a brewery I'd never been to before soo....perfect way to kill time!
I nursed a flight of four beer samples for a while (had to be responsible since I was solo) and enjoyed some craft beer I'd never tried and burned up another hour. At this point I headed over to the signals again and this time they were lined up and cleared for an eastbound! I pestered Dan again who confirmed that Q425 was by Castleton 15 min prior and headed my way. Perfect, I had my eastbound freight. Well I headed to the tunnel, climbed down and set up. And...well if you've seen this post you know how it turned out:
facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1994726437494134&id...
But there was more!
Luckily in my excitement and pure high after finally getting the freight I wanted with far more dramatic icy conditions than I expected I just had to share it right away! So instead of climbing back up and departing immediately I walked into the cool darkness of the abandoned original 1840 north bore to download and edit a quick photo.
While in the tunnel about 10 min after getting that shot I thought I heard something. It took me a minute with the sound muffled by the granite before I realized that it was another eastbound! After seeing none all day and having no intel this second one right on the block of the first took me totally by surprise.
But thanks to the fact that I delayed my exit I had just enough time to turn around and run back out of the tunnel, fumble with my settings and get these shots of eastbound Q426.
So after a lifetime of never shooting a freight at the State Line Tunnels and a long and frustrating day of missed opportunities the Railfan Gods rewarded me for my dedication in the end!

Dekema State is an old estate, country house, that is now a museum.
It is the center of my little village.
It has a beautiful garden with trees, fruits, flowers, very well kept.
I walk here every day.
Love it
Seriously? Now it is almost midnight, It was the same as the day time.. FOGGY
Viewed from Empire state building.
Had to turn my bike around and go back to the house for the camera when I saw this sight. The sun needs to be at a certain angle to shine into the woods and light up the ferns like this, and I'm not usually there to see it.
J.B. Pritzker would have been proud....Metra's State of Illinois unit rolls by 16th Street Tower with a special move. If you look closely, you'll see two BNSF biz cars on the rear.
