Traveling Moon (2022)
The nine day old Moon carves a path across the western sky in this five hour exposure on Ilford FP4 Plus. This is a cropped section from the original 4x5 frame. I had to awaken at 1:45 AM to end the exposure and secure the filmholder, which was perfectly dry. A rare night with no dew.

Located a few meters from the first oil well discovered in 1932 near Jebel Dukhan, or "Mountain of Smoke", at Sakhir, the Oil Museum was officially inaugurated in 1992.
It houses old drilling equipment, samples of rocks found underground, topographical maps and some information about the companies that had participated in the exploration for oil. Bahrain was the first country to discover oil in the Arabian Gulf region.
You really must make the effort to visit this interesting little museum. It’s a long way out of town, in the midst of the Bahrain oil fields at the foot of Jebel Dukhan (also known as the Mountain of Smoke, because of the mist in which it is sometimes shrouded). If you’ve never seen an oil field, with rust-coloured pipelines of every diameter zigzagging across the desert, the trip is interesting. The whole area smells of crude oil, or as one writer put it, the smell of money. The turn-off for the museum is signposted from Zallaq Highway. If you don’t have your own car, the easiest way to visit this area is by hire car. It is definitely not a good idea to go by taxi; you will find that many local taxis have meters that are not working or hidden behind tissue boxes, and quite often drivers who are unable or unwilling to travel outside the city. Perhaps the best way to visit this museum, however, is to take one of the commercial tours. Theoretically the museum is open from 10:00 to 17:00 on Thursdays and Fridays, but it is advisable to phone before you set out, just to make sure. Inside there is a fascinating collection of objects related to oil exploration and a wonderful photographic history of the early development of the oil industry in Bahrain. There is a working model of an oil rig and several display cabinets of geological samples. One of the most interesting exhibits is a home-made, gas-powered fan, with beaten copper blades. It must have been awfully hot living in a tent in the middle of the desert back in the early 30s! All the exhibits are well documented and there is a small covered carpark outside the museum beside which you can see Oil Well Number One, the first well which started pumping out oil in 1932
This is a very symbolic image:
A. Traveling by train should be cheaper than flying by plane when you go on holiday. You see so much more of the country and it's better for the climate.
B. How long before we realize that the ratrace of our society is killing people. With autumn settling in, more suicide attempts occur. Some have happened near this railroad crossing.
C. We need more red flags when things in life are going too fast, and need more time to stand still for a while and contemplate. We're burning ourselves and the earth.
One of the earlier temples built by the early kings of Kampuchea, around 879AD, it predates Angkor Wat by almost 300 years and many of the grander temples in the area.
Cold and wet weekend. Good time to get the macro out for a play and daydream of travel (and throw the notion that I might only be interested in boats....)
The calmly flowing waters of a swollen Kickapoo Creek gently touch the concrete footings currently supporting the passage of this heavy, 131-car, southbound Union Pacific coal drag as its two, lead, AC six-axles ride their dynamic brakes, coasting downhill across a combination deck plate and lattice through truss bridge along the former C&NW "SI Line" outside Bartonville on a gloomy July morning. This train of loaded aluminum BethGons -- symbol CNAPW 14 -- are topped out with over 18,000 tons Wyoming's finest black diamonds; Filled at Peabody's North Antelope Mine in the state's rich Powder River Basin, these hoppers have only a few short miles left to travel before reaching their destination at NRG Energy's Powerton Generating Station near Pekin. The train will soon cross the Illinois River drawbridge and immediately make a right turn onto the IMRR and down into Crescent Yard for interchange where they'll tie down and the loads will wait for an Illinois & Midland crew to spot the cars at the plant for final dumping. Slated for decommission come the end of 2028 due to the country's relentless insistence on "cleaner" energy alternatives, Powerton is the sole remaining, actively burning coal-fired power plant to still remain standing in the greater Peoria area, outliving the facilities at Havana, Hennepin and Canton's Duck Creek (2019), and eventually the E.D. Edwards Station at Bartonville (2022). Once closed, it'll be another major hit in activity levels for a route that is already down in traffic. Twice weekly scheduled manifest service between Peoria and Clinton, IA, as needed coal, grain and ethanol unit traffic, and seasonal ballast trains are pretty much the bulk of what traverses this line.
For southbounds, this is the final, and most dramatic, crossing atop a snaky Kickapoo Creek which twists and turns beneath the rails of the Peoria Subdivision in six different locations within just about a short, two mile stretch of track. Just about a half mile back from this bridge, the train is still working through the CTC controlled interlocking at "Peoria JCT" where the Peoria Sub main to South Pekin splits from UP's "Low Line," which routes trains for Peoria area interchange into and out of their small Adams St. Yard just a short distance away on the city's southwest side. The single-tracked Peoria Subdivision, which runs south out of Nelson away from the busy Geneva Sub, uses a combination of CTC, TWC and ABS infrastructure to route what little traffic runs down this line and is also the only class 1 of four that has a "through route" through the city. A line that does not get much attention from photographers, an older "winged" EMD SD70ACe on the point of a well timed coal load just was enough for me to grab the camera and quickly pick it off at this very seldom shot location.
I sure could do without that walkway.

I saved most of my copies of those old, rake-ishly romantic Banana Republic catalogs from the mid-eighties. I loved the stories, and the safari mystique. I couldn't always afford their goods, although I did purchase several coat dresses. I haven't shopped in Banana Republic since they pulled out the palm trees!
