Wisconsin & Southern units 3803, 3810, 4010 & 3809 lead a lengthy train near Waupun, Wisconsin on February 17, 2016. I believe this was a combination of trains L595 & L597.
I shot this image while visiting my mom in Wisconsin USA about 1987 (give or take maybe 5 years) as a tranny with a Minolta. In 2000, as a test, I digitized the tranny with my 3mp Nikon 990 (my first digi-cam) for which I had a very cool attachment for shooting slides. That digitized image has been in my archives for 18 years.
A few days ago I was strolling through a folder with a few hundred of the old Nikon 990 images, looking at my kids when young, family dogs, vacations, my old house, lighting tests, textures and abstracts (not unlike what I'd shoot these days), etc.
When I saw that shot below in jjjohn's photostream, it instantly reminded me of my Wisconsin shot, and I got inspired to post it.
I didn't have time to go track down the tranny, so I opened the scan done by the Nikon 990. It was a measly 1600x1300 pixels. Fortunately, low-res life is pretty good these days. First I ran it through Topaz A.I Clear to improved the noise, then used the amazing Topaz A.I. Gigapixel to up the res by 400% to 6300x5200 pixels. A bit of retouching in Photoshop and it was ready to rock-n-roll!
I try to keep up appearances, but with children grown and on their own, and with a husband whose eyes are definitley wandering and who no longer finds me interesting, can you blame me for seeking anyone--male or female--who finds me attractive? I am no longer young, to be sure, but I am not dead yet!
Just one of my feminine scenarios.
I have always been interested in the dome of Wisconsin's capitol. It has been challenging to go back through my images and improve them. I hope you enjoy this one.
Please click on the image to take a look at it on black. It really is worth the click.

Built in 1956-1957, this Organic Modern building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to serve as a public Elementary School for the town of Wyoming, Wisconsin, a rural community located south of Taliesin in Iowa County, which voted to consolidate its one-room schools in 1956. The building features a cement block exterior, a low-pitch hipped roof with wide overhanging eaves, a roughly hexagonal footprint, clerestory windows and large ribbon windows, recessed entrances, a central chimney, and contains two classrooms, a multi-purpose room, a kitchen, a teacher’s lounge, and two restrooms, with a small basement containing a utility room. The building served as an elementary school for the Wyoming community until 1990, when it closed due to declining enrollment. The building sat vacant until 2011, when it was reopened as an arts and community center. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Today, the building is the only realized public school designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and serves as the Wyoming Valley School Cultural Arts Center.
Sunset after a hot and humid day. I am surprised how far the sunset has moved in relation to the skyline structures. How did summer slip away?
This was captured on the farm that my mother had grown up on. When I took her back to visit her brother last year she wanted to revisit where she grew up & we ended up stopping at the house & the current owners were thrilled to talk with my mom. It was a thrill for her also, not really sure with her getting up in age if will make it back to the area.
Saturday was the day before yet another round of arctic air hit Wisconsin, so I decided to enjoy the sunshine's warmth and wander around Sheboygan's South Pier.
Wisconsin is a land of gently rolling hills, with no mountains most of the year. By mid-February the snow piles near parking lots take on mountainous proportions and temporarily change our topography.
This snow pile is at the edge of a public parking lot that is located next to our apartment complex. On the other side of the "mountain ridge" is our van and apartment , both obscured by the snow.

Second try. This is the blending of two different exposures (13 sec and 3.2 sec), mainly to keep the Capital Dome from saturating. Also cloned out a radio tower and its bright red lights. Very good night - almost no turbulance! Taken at the Olin Park boat ramp.

As a long-time resident of Michigan and Illinois, I was tempted to call this, "Looking Down on Cheeseheads."
