A Lake Central Rail Tours Fall Color excursion has just arrived at the end of the former Ann Arbor mainline in Yuma. The engineer has just switched ends and shortly the train will depart back for Cadillac and ultimately Owosso. I had the opportunity to ride in the cab of #385 during this trip, and it was an experience I will always remember fondly! The line to Yuma has been out of service now for almost 5 years.

A joint venture between Toijala's locomotive museum and Swedish based association "Svenska Motorvagnsklubben" who have ordered a four day long excursions around Southern and central Finland on board the type Dm7 dieselrailcar number 4216 which itself is operaited by the association of railway enthusiast of Northern Finland or Porha for short. On the second day, the Swedes on board the 4216 were brought to Haapamäki where they had the chance to have a look at the museum rollingstock of Haapamäki museum locomotive society and also have a cup of coffee on a cafecar. After that the journey commenced towards East and the day should be finished in Mikkeli. 4216 has to be turned on the turntable as it is preferred among drivers that Dm7 are driven by the calm end rather than the noisy end with the engine compartment in it. While passengers are still on board, the 4216 is the turning celebrity on the turntable as the locomotives of HMVY watch.

You know that feeling when you believe someone is watching you. It's called "gaze sense."
I've read gaze sense described as "Even when someone isn't in front of you, you can sense their gaze from your peripheral vision."
When feeling like someone is watching me, I attribute that awareness to a sense of unease or a prickling on the back of my neck. Brrrr - it gives me shivers to even think about it.
Well, I was dressed to turn heads this Saturday night at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel bar so I was prepared.
My gaze sensors were set to maximum sensitivity in this crowded scene but only received a single weak signal. Oddly it seemed to be originating from the floor to my right!
I'd like to report that all eyes were on me in that bar, but that would be the tail wagging the dog.
Sigh

PS- This is the raven feathered Dian Design cocktail dress I crowed about earlier. Gorgeous!!!

Life takes us in circles. like
wheels within wheels.
Some wheels have music that is
Clear and loud while others
play a deferent kind of music.
And riding the marry go round
With its music, fun and toys – we never
Get anywhere. We stay in place.
While using the other kind of wheels,
Allegedly bound us but in reality
Will take us where ever we wish. These
are wheels that allow us to fulfill
our freedom.
I choose freedom anytime.
Was digging through all kinds of different back-up devices that I've used for the last 5-7 years when I found this early experimental shot of Turning Torso on a 35mm film loaded into an A12 magazine of my Hasselblad. Remember that it caused damage to the magazine that cost me some $150 to repair, so no surprise you don't see many of these in later years. Turning Torso is a 200 metre high-rise in Malmö designed by Calatrava. Not even sure what film this was shot on, didn't keep any records of film, aperture or shutter speed at that time, so can only guess, ISO 100-160, f/16 at 1/125 as it looks like a typical Sunny-16 scene.

I drove past the Camas-Washougal Airport, and saw this out of the corner of my eye. I went another half mile, and turned around and went back to some real aviation delights. So glad I did.
But I wonder if we really are? The lockdown might be being eased, but I feel that nothing has really changed, and that the threat from Covid-19 is still as potent as ever.
This is the corner where Upper Maudlin Street meets Lower Maudlin Street in Bristol on Tuesday 16th June 2020. The large building on the right is the Bristol Royal Infirmary. And it's another familiar spot for me; I used to pass here regularly when making my way from school to the nearby bus station back in the nineteen-seventies. I'm looking back, yes, but also looking forward with optimism to a time when I'll be able to do the things I love doing that are currently not possible.
I did not intend to shoot this with a shutter speed as low as 1/30 but I actually quite like the sense of movement from the passing pedestrians.

So on my first day in Tokyo, I spotted these two girls walking around kawagoe. I chased them, said hello and pointed at my camera to them with a big smile... they gladly posed for me. Yay.
