Finger Lakes GS-2 otherwise known as the “Sweep Job” arrives in the village of Seneca Falls with a trio of GP38-2 led by the 2003-2005-2001 on a wonderful crystal clear evening, just a few days after the Summer solstice. It is just a bit past 7 pm and the train is making a quiet trip through the neighborhoods of Oak Street in Seneca Falls and has only a few miles left on its westbound journey back to the home base at Geneva, NY on June 23, 2021.

Sweep, sweep,
Chimney sweep,
From the bottom to the top,
Sweep all up,
Chimney sweep,
From the bottom to the top.
Climb by rope,
Or climb by ladder,
Without either
I'll climb farther.
There were many riots scaring streets and squares of screwedCITY, but none was as strange as "The Great Silent March" of potato farmers from Tuberosa Planitia. In the final act, the farmers (along with their urban supporters) gathered in sweep-A-BOO square wearing Matt Damon masks and demanding dismissal of McCullogh's ambitious plans of turning Tuberosa Planitia into concrete simulation of Mars landscape. Honoring screwedCITY tradition, protesters were brutally dispersed by S.R.C.S (Special Riot Control Squad) whose members, in this particular instance, were wearing Ridley Scott masks.
Normally, sweep-A-BOO square is one of the most desolate spots in screwedCITY. Overlooked by pentaCRAMMED depots it offers nothing more than scenery of Cold War paranoia valued only by stranded Buckminster Fuller impersonators...
The Robberg Peninsula is conserved for several reasons. The mainland connects to an island through a spit called a tombolo. This results from waves sweeping around both sides of the island. Similar to other rocky headlands on this coastline, Robberg Peninsula supports a diverse array of plants and animals that have adapted to this land/sea ecology. But what sets it apart is the distinctive climbing-falling dune (one of only seven on this coastline). The bedrock of the peninsula was dated to the prehistoric breaking up of Gondwanaland and evidence of this can be seen at several sites. Besides the unique and fascinating typography, evidence of middle and later Stone Age inhabitation was found in a few of the caves. It is for this reason that the reserve was proclaimed a national monument.

I shot this chimney in Los Angeles's Hancock Park neighborhood. Thanks to Kevin Cole for the crow.

I photograph a lot of different kinds of abandoned vintage transportation at night. Abandoned aircraft, trains, buses, trucks. But never a street sweeper. Until now. This is a 1926 Austin Street Sweeper. In the late 1880s, street sweepers performed an important function given the constant horse droppings. During this time, the first mechanized sweeping systems were developed, with a water sprinkler dampening the dirt and debris to reduce dust flying. This four-cylinder street sweeper grew out of that, and included not only the water spray system but a gutter broom and a large rotating rear broom. Although almost 100 years old, the design is not so different from the street sweepers of today. I lit this amazing vehicle with warm white light using a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device during the exposure. This was located at the Motor Transport Museum near the border of Mexico. This may appear in my second book of night photography that I am working on now. Thank you for looking!
