It is difficult to keep focused on 1 disaster when there are so many. Katrina, Japan, New Zealand, economies, terrorists, riots...

So I pay attention to the sounds of birds and dogs and cats amidst the background noise of rotten politicians and corporations...

Just outside of the frame to the left of this picture is the entrance to the engine house at the Strasburg Railroad. Shop tours would enter through this door to see behind the curtains and witness some of what it takes to prepare a steam locomotive for the day's work.

Here in the frame sits the cab of ex-CN steamer 7312, which has been converted into a covered seating area with benches inside. Sure, I'd love to see the cab on a running engine, but this is better than being fully scrapped I suppose.

If you look just beyond the cab roof, in the background you'll see the star of the show. Norfolk & Western steam locomotive #611 sits preparing for the day. Strasburg has become a real hub of activity for their own operations of both scenic and revenue freight. Add to that, the visit of such a famous steamer, and you have a powerhouse of an operation on your hands. On this day in October, 2019, I got to witness it all!

I used a low aperture to take focus away from the background

I've posted this sun catcher before (you'll see it on my front page in the Black and White set), but what's amazing is this is the color of the sky in the background from my kitchen window.

Thank you for looking! =)

I bought this Far Far Away Double Gauze for the background, but now I am wondering if it will be too busy? I'm just doing one block and probably a wider border, so I could do a white border to calm it down, or I could do a solid background (maybe white or linen) and make the wide border out of the print. What do you think?

I wish I had taken photos at a more rapid rate during this thin crescent phase. It was spectacular to see.
