A BNSF rack train runs north through the approach to the Eads bridge and up Terminal Railroad's high-line at an obvious location.
Sucky, washed out colors courtesy of about a million western wildfires that have made St. Louis and just about the entire continental US appear to have a permanent overcast. I'll have to try this again when blue skies are back, probably after the election.

Pacific Fiction ...
Faithful to the heritage of conceptual art, fascinated by land art and especially by Robert Smithson, influenced by Olafur Eliassonās teaching at the Institut fĆ¼r Raumexperimente in Berlin, Julian CharriĆØre sets in motion research processes that give rise to performances, photographic records, films and installations.
His materials, including decaying organic matter, cryogenically frozen plants, sediment and salt bricks reflect particular times and spaces, both as tangible traces of what he calls a āgeology of historyā and as explorations of humanityās interdependent relationship with our environment.
Pacific Fiction ā Study for Monument is one of a set of works created by CharriĆØre following his exploration of the Marshall Islands and the Bikini atoll, part of his research into former nuclear testing sites as dystopian places par excellence.
The United States test-fired nearly seventy nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands from 1946 to 1958, including Castle Bravo, the single most powerful H-bomb, which wiped two islands from the map.
Pacific Fiction, a pyramid of coconuts encased in lead, can be read as the model for a future memorial. The coconuts refer to the etymology of the Bikini atoll, which takes its name from the local Melanesian name āPikinniā, āpikā meaning āsurfaceā and āniā meaning ācoconut palmā. The lead is used for its physical property of withstanding radiation. While the pile of coconuts echoes a stock of cannon balls, the workās pyramid shape and its subtitle, Study for Monument, also conjure up images of a tomb, Egyptian pyramids, the architecture of the bunkers on the Bikini atoll shoreline, and the angular iron monoliths that slumber in the depths of the Pacific.

Pazifische Fiktion ...
Getreu dem Erbe der Konzeptkunst, fasziniert von der Land Art und insbesondere von Robert Smithson, beeinflusst von der Lehre Olafur Eliassons am Institut fĆ¼r Raumexperimente in Berlin, setzt Julian CharriĆØre Forschungsprozesse in Gang, aus denen Performances, fotografische Aufzeichnungen, Filme und Installationen hervorgehen.
Seine Materialien, darunter verrottende organische Materie, kryogenisch gefrorene Pflanzen, Sedimente und Salzziegel, spiegeln bestimmte Zeiten und RƤume wider, sowohl als greifbare Spuren dessen, was er eine "Geologie der Geschichte" nennt, als auch als Erkundungen der wechselseitigen Beziehung zwischen dem Menschen und seiner Umwelt.
Pacific Fiction - Study for Monument gehƶrt zu einer Reihe von Werken, die CharriĆØre im Anschluss an seine Erkundung der Marshallinseln und des Bikini-Atolls geschaffen hat, die Teil seiner Recherchen Ć¼ber ehemalige AtomtestgelƤnde als dystopische Orte par excellence sind.
Die Vereinigten Staaten haben von 1946 bis 1958 auf den Marshallinseln fast siebzig Atombomben getestet, darunter Castle Bravo, die stƤrkste H-Bombe, die zwei Inseln von der Landkarte tilgte.
Pacific Fiction, eine mit Blei ummantelte Pyramide aus KokosnĆ¼ssen, kann als Modell fĆ¼r ein kĆ¼nftiges Mahnmal gelesen werden. Die KokosnĆ¼sse beziehen sich auf die Etymologie des Bikini-Atolls, das seinen Namen von der lokalen melanesischen Bezeichnung "Pikinni" ableitet, wobei "pik" fĆ¼r "OberflƤche" und "ni" fĆ¼r "Kokospalme" steht. Das Blei wird wegen seiner physikalischen Eigenschaft, Strahlung zu widerstehen, verwendet. WƤhrend der Haufen KokosnĆ¼sse an einen Vorrat an Kanonenkugeln erinnert, rufen die ursprĆ¼ngliche Pyramidenform des Werks und sein Untertitel Study for Monument auch Bilder eines Grabes, Ƥgyptischer Pyramiden, der Architektur der Bunker auf dem Bikini-Atoll und der kantigen Eisenmonolithen hervor, die in den Tiefen des Pazifiks schlummern.

Minette est dĆ©cĆ©dĆ©e, nous l'avons accompagnĆ© tout au long de sa derniĆØre piqure en la regardant dans les yeux et en la caressant jusqu'Ć son dernier souffle. Nous faisons beaucoup de photos de nos animaux domestiques car ils sont toujours prĆ©sents Ć cĆ“tĆ© de nous et par amour. Elle a Ć©tĆ© mon modĆØle pour tous mes tests d'objectifs et d'appareils photos, elle ne disait rien, et jouait le jeu et tous ses cĆ¢lins qui vont me manquer. Elle avait 17 ans. Merci !
I re-edited this image to give what I think is a more "honest" interpretation of the photo - you can see it here: flic.kr/p/2qYsMrH
A few years ago I bought a Kodak Reflex 1A (the TLR, not the 35mm Retina Reflex) and did a few tests with it, but found the results universally disappointing. The Anastigmat lens it's equipped with is pretty sub-standard, IMO. It is grotesquely unsharp and loaded with aberration when used wide open (or close to it) and extremely prone to flare, as you can see in this example photo. But when stopped down to f11 or f16 it can make a reasonable image (I think this was shot at f11.5)
Kodak Tmax 400 shot at 200 ASA, developed in Adox XT-3, 1:1 for 9 minutes.
Note: after reviewing this recent roll of film shot with the Reflex 1A, I decided I had no further use for it and donated it to the local thrift shop. It wasn't worth the effort to re-roll film onto 620 spools.
Here's 901 again in June with her three cubs at the time. Fat Bear Week is happening now so be sure to vote. Link below in the comments.
Australian Magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) juvenile
At least one of the Magpie chicks will be leaving the nest soon, it was doing a lot of wing testing today. I also now know that there are 3 chicks, not just the 2 I had previously seen.
So, i got a new toy, one of my first flights and only really just getting the hang of it. Lots of ideas... :-)

Bella, cautiously testing the chair only days after I adopted her. The chair had been empty for a few months, Bella needed a new home & I needed a cat. Now, she āknowsā the chair belongs to her, though Iām usually allowed to share it!
