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 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.

The WC shield, a bit battered, and bruised, but still proudly proclaiming its heritage, catches some late afternoon sun in the Waterville Yard. The 50' Plate C boxcars, once a staple of the midwest, have recently migrated east towards Pan Am, carrying SNC reporting marks (this one is SNC 21043). They have reinforced floors, and have a higher load weight for paper than the scores of old Maine Central and Boston & Maine boxcars that used to fill this role.

Amtrak train #8, with heritage unit 822 in the trailing position, charges eastward after a station stop at Columbus, Wisconsin on April 17, 2016. Note the odd placement of the baggage car.
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.
