I figured I'd beaten the Rapid City, Pierre & Eastern train on the drive over from New Underwood by at least 45 minutes. It's about 13 miles. On the railroad, this was 10mph track.
There wasn't much going on in Owanka. A mechanical crew swapped out a bad-order wheel set on a covered hopper on the little-used elevator track, then left. Eventually, a maintenance of way truck arrived and waited at the crossing. Other than them, it was just me and the wind, as only a handful--a small handful--of people call Owanka home anymore. Crumbling remains of a small commercial block, a sidewalk in weeds and a few overgrown foundations hinted at what was once here.
I had plenty of time to contemplate life in Owanka, the blistering summers and the brutal winters. Finally, after nearly two hours, the train arrived, stopped to let a few track workers off, and proceeded east. Four of the six dump cars of rockand ballast on the head end of the train had lost their loads since I'd last seen the train--dumped along the inaccessible track along Box Elder Creek where high water and the boggy Pierre clay that makes maintaining this trackage a never-ending chore.
East of here towards Watsa, stretches of track are good for 25mph. . .but then it's back into the wavy-gravy rail, old sectional stick, and a roadbed that really could use surfacing.
The section truck left. The train left. I left. We all left Owanka to its few memories and the hardy few who keep calling the place home.

4400 tons of train slowly make their way across the bridges and trestles over the Cheyenne River east of Wasta. The condition of the rails in the trusses was so bad you could see it without a telephoto lens.

Imagine a world without camera or photographers ..it would have been totally bleak depriving God of his achievements so God created the camera and through the rib of the camera the enigmatic creature called the photographer...to show Gods world his bounty , his kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.. insects nature landscape and everything that could be photographed good bad and ugly...
The camera is the greatest instrument of peace , I knew a nice young lady who loved a photographers pictures that she eventually married him,and became a photographer too, Mr Dharker would have given his life to have her nude on Debonair is not the crux of my story..
A picture is a miraculous product of the mind..and photography heals the human soul..photography as promoted by camera clubs is passe... time to move on, and it changed my life when I clicked the mouse and reached all over cyberspace ..
But as the photographer was getting a tad bit lazy and repetitive, I mean the media photographer , the usual pictures , the broken glasses , the tattered school book at bomb blast sites , the Idd hugging pictures, the Parsi New Year Watsa Agiary Fountain pictures , year after year , that really got on Gods goat..God was really pissed..
Out of a chaos the confusion as splattered on newsprint he created the photo blogger ,the photo bloggers obituary thanks to Times Of India Sunday review continued for sometime, the blogger may die choking on his blog but his blog will live long after .
Thanks to the Holy Ghost of cyberspace called Google Search.
And a Blogger is Gods chosen disciple , God gifts him pictures ,,if you cant go to Shirdi due to some constrain or other , God brings Shirdi and the Holy Saint Sai Baba into the human heart..actually I saw this at Dadar Tulsi Pipe road on my way to town, I thought I would shoot it on my return, but due to some confusion he bought me on another route, as I wanted to reach Mahim Dargah I did not crib , and than without asking me directions he swung back to Tulsi Pipe Road and I saw this vision again I got of the cab and shot a few frames .. I reached the Dargah too through the inside lanes of Mahim..
So in short picture that are destined to be shot will be shot come what may..
So a picture becomes a photo blog..and photography the cradle from which a photoblogger was born and raised..
Today was my 6 th day at the Mahim Dargah Urus, I shot Sakibs Sandal..and Firoze Rafaees body piercing acts..he pierced a short pointed rod into a Rafaees cheek and the point that came out he hammered into the face of a stool..the man lifted up the stool bleeding, than the rod was removed , he drank water which began to flow from the hole in the cheek.. I have to upload a 16 GB card..
And I do not want to talk much as a photo blogger provided you read me as street poet and a pedestrian photographer only..

Awk Phansaa, aslo know as Boun Huea Fai or Loy Krathong Festival or Light Festival, takes place to mark the end of the three-month Buddhist Lent on the day of the full moon. On the eve of Awk Phansaa people gather at the nearest body of water to release dozens of small banana-leaf boats decorated with candles, incense and small flowers, in a celebration similar to Thailand's Loy Krathong Festival.
