A fairy market, Giant wheel and a carousel of breakdance. Blown away from longexposure and zoom shift….
Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord, Germany. August 09. Abandoned steel work, illuminated.
Das 1985 stillgelegte Hüttenwerk Meiderich ist heute ein Industriedenkmal, welches nachts sehr farbenprächtig angestrahlt wird. Es steht direkt am Emscherschnellweg A 42.
A spinning wheel placed where the user could see what she was doing. Again, at the Frontier Culture museum in Staunton Virginia. There were several different spinning wheels throughout the various buildings, all different sizes. I believe I took this is the German home. I liked the light that was hitting this one. So happy I didn't have to make my own clothes starting with wool!! I couldn't even do it starting with premade cloth and an electric sewing machine! HA!

the Wheel of Life is a traditional representation of the samsaric cycle of existence.
I went to the Salem Fair the other night with Brad to attempt some long exposure work and to be honest, I'm not all that happy with any of it. But I love the clarity of the motion in this, so I figured I'd post it and not come up completely empty handed from the trip. I'm just not a fan of the composition.
Having that problem quite a bit lately. Going to try and fix it soon.
Two other things I'd like to mention.. First of all, I've recieved two absolutely lovely testimonials from two of my best friends on Flickr. Mike Grittani wrote me one about a week ago but I forgot to give him a thank you link, and he's been endlessly helpful to me on here and takes great pictures, so check his stream out. And just yesterday Lorraine left me one - she's got some insanely creative pictures, so go check out her stream too! :)
And also... thank you guys so much for visiting lately. It honestly seems like a week ago that I was thanking you for 1,000 photostream views.. and now I'm hitting 10,000 total. I can not tell you guys how much I love you, haha.
Wheeler Ferris Wheel .. use to sit on the Santa Monica Pier and now resides on the Oklahoma River in OKC ...
BNSF local job 360 (I’m guessing L-NWE360-23 to use the official terminology) heads south for Centralia, WA as it follows the coastline of the Puget Sound in Steilacoom, WA. On the point is SD60M 1454, the only EMD 60 series variant on BNSF left in the “Heritage 1” paint scheme.
To my surprise, I saw this engine sitting at the south end of the yard in Centralia earlier in the week & was hoping to at least catch a quick yard move with it running having already known of its uniqueness. As it often goes in this hobby, I had no such luck & gave up having set my priority for the rest of this trip on the puget coastline & the Sumas Turn. Out of pure luck on my final day shooting the Seattle Sub, & with the sun setting while I sit at Saltars Point, I could see a short southbound at Chambers Bay. Figuring it was a local, I get myself set up on the pedestrian bridge to get the coastline in the shot, figuring from the best I could tell from my zoom lense that it was a pair of six axles powering it. To my surprise, it was not a pair of GE’s, but me literally saying out loud “Da Fuck?!” as it rounded the curve here & I could make out the Wagon Wheel logo on the nose.
This was definitely the cherry on top for this productive day & also a nice throwback that still occasionally happens. In this era of Facebook heads up, instant communication thanks to the item I’m holding while I type this & even small/mobile radios & scanners, it’s hard not to know if/when a train with a cooler lash up or consist is nearby or planned. In getting a nice surprise in not knowing what’s about to round the corner & it being something better than you were expecting from time-to-time, it’s a nice refresher to the older & better days when you never knew what would be leading the next train. Sadly, with the rosters of the Class 1’s becoming unbelievably homogenous & boring with them basically only wanting GEVO’s or some kind of C6M variant, those days are sadly becoming a thing of the past. 6-23-23
