A 06 April view of the Lockmasters House near the confluence of the Muskingum River and Ohio Rivers in downtown Marietta Ohio. An article I found on line states that the Army Corps. Built a lockmasters house at each of the 11 Muskingum river locks, including this beautiful old house when they took over the Muskingum river locks in the 1880’s. In the late 1700’s and 1800’s rivers were the highways of this area carrying goods and people, because there were few roads and no railroads. The lock and dam built in the 1840’s on the Muskingum at this location are long gone because it was the last lock before the Ohio river and no longer necessary once a system of locks and dams were put in place on the Ohio River. The lock and dam are gone from this location but the beautiful old lockmasters house remains. Sadly the lockmasters house at the next lock up river is to be demolished as it has fallen into disrepair. I searched on line info to find out the date when the Marietta Lock and dam were removed at this location but I did not find an answer. The remaining locks of the Muskingum river all built in the 1840’s between Marietta Ohio and Zanesville Ohio are still in place and are hand operated. I am not sure if they are still hand operated today or if some modern enhancements have been added to assist the lockmasters, but they were designed to be hand opperated and were a marvel at the time of there construction in the mid 1800's.

Having seen a Photoshopped color version of this photograph (located here on Flickr), my instructor in a March 2009 street photography class suggested that I convert it to black-and-white to accentuate the vertical shapes of the fence behind the runner.
I've done so here, using Apple's Aperture program, and with a yellow filter applied to the initial image. I think the result is interesting, and I'll try to keep an open mind for a while before deciding whether I like it better than the color version. However, if you have strong opinions one way or the other, I'd enjoy hearing it; leave me Flickr-mail or email me at ed at yourdon dot com

I was walking south along the bridle path that circumnavigates the reservoir in Central Park; and the view here is basically south, with the CitiCorp building and varous other New York City skyscrapers in the background. The reservoir is enclosed by a fence (presumably to keep people from falling in, or jumping in to swim, or perhaps even attempting to fish), and there's a jogging trail that runs along the fence; so scenes like this are pretty common.
I hadn't taken the sun into account when I took this picture; during this season, it's pretty far south, and for whatever reason, it left the runner in pretty dark shadow. I tweaked it a bit, and hopefully didn't distort the background too badly. I also replaced the grayish-white hazy sky with a bluish gradient fill ...
Note: the color version of this photo has been published twice, as of March 14, 2009: in a Feb 26, 2009 blog article titled "How to Intensify Your Running and Lose More Weight.." and in a blog article (allegedly published on May 21, 2006 - which is difficult to imagine, since I didn't take the picture until Nov 21, 2008) entitled "Burn Twice as Many Calories Running."
This B/W version of the photo was published in an Oct 14, 2009 blog titled "Egyedül vagy társasággal?" And it was published in an Apr 22, 2010 blog titled "Demand Justice For the Wrongfully Convicted Central Park Five." It was also published in a Jul 15, 2010 blog titled "Let AudioTechnica help you run longer..." And it was published in a Nov 22, 2010 Fresh Healthy Body blog titled " Any other good exercises to lose weight rather than running?"
Moving into 2011, the photo was published in a Jan 17, 2011 blog titled "Two Best Exercises to Lose Weight." It was also published in an Apr 1, 2011 blog titled "Sweet! Candy eaters surprisingly slimmer."
Moving into 2013, the photo was published in a Feb 24, 2013 blog titled "Why Do I Want To Run Startup?" It was also published in an undated (early Jun 2013) blog titled "ABNEHMEN: ES GIBT KEIN GEHEIMREZEPT."
Description: An article and poem about Julia Brace written by F.M.S., continued.
Full text: Poem continued:
This is a rich, peculiar heritage; Untold thy hopes, untouched thy sacred dower;
Full many a promise, stored in heavenly page, For thee shall deep and silent blessings pour.
The orphan’s father, and the widow’s friend, The poor man’s hope, the weak one’s arm of might,
For thee his characters of love shall blend, His voice thy music, and his beams they light.
The Strength of Judah lived and died for thee! Thy weakness shall his power’s perfection know.
They loving heart,-thy guileless honesty, Thy sacred Sabbath rest, His teachings show.
Illumed by rays of uncreated light, To read and own the written law within;
And privileged, by strangely mournful right, Thou ne’er canst hear, nor see, nor utter sin!
And who can tell what lofty visions gleam, From distant worlds, on thine internal eye?
Or what celestial hand thy heart may deem A lyre of tender, touching melody?
Mute Nature claims thee, child of touch and smell; Go pluck the sprigs, and scent the sweetest flowers;
Inhale the morn’s first fragrance from the dell, Thy joys enhanced, as narrowed are thy powers!
Yet, while we mourn thy lot, with pitying tear, A picture humbling of ourselves we see!
To heaven we voiceless, blind, and deaf appear, That world less known to us than ours to thee!

An article in the November 2012 edition of "Barnsley Today" it seems that some clown is after converting part of the Woodhead trackbed into a motorway. If anything is done the line should be reopened even if just as a freight route to get road freight away from the trans-pennine roads then he could have a much better journey in his car, and it would cost much less that the amount he's proposing.
