Decided to go out Saturday because the weather was supposed to be cooler, and cloudy. Well it was cooler 85f. But zero clouds. I swear I'm going to move to a state that has clouds.
Got to my first spot, and found out they have now fenced the entrance path to the spot. A GIANT field with a path leading to my spot is not completely fenced. forcing me to walk about an mile out of my way to get to the spot. Yeah, I could have easily jumped the fence, walked through and jumped the next fence. There was so much traffic in the area I could just walk around. I need the exercise anyway.
The long walk to my spot took me pretty close to one of my favorite bridge spots, so I decided to hike up a bit and see what was new. A few new pieces and a few old favorites that were still there, un-touched. Those are in today's upload as well.
Got to my spot finally. This spot has a homeless "issue" but I've had nothing but pleasant interactions with anyone who's approached me. Mostly I think they are just curious what I'm doing out there for 5-6 hours standing around in one spot. As soon as I say "the trains.." they always go "oh, cool." So every time I go there I always take inventory of all of the people who are out there so I know where to keep an eye out. Got there at like 10:15AM and I see a guy coming out from under a tree about 200' away. Moving slow, and carrying a box. Moving the box from one place to another, then another box, etc. I'm not worried about this person.
About an hour into my session, I see a guy walking along in the wash below.. Looks about 60-65, with no shirt, and is about as tan as you can get. This guy has obviously been in the desert sun for a while. After a couple of minutes he gets to me, throws out his hand and introduces himself as "Jeff". Asks how I'm doing and what I'm doing out there. I said "the trains" and he nods. Says he's headed up to the gas station down the tracks and up the road, and asks if I want him to bring me something to drink. "nah, I'm good", "OK, see ya'" Oh, forgot to mention, Jeff had a fixed blade knife about 12" long strapped to the front of his belt. I also carry a knife when I go out, just in-case so I understood his carrying of a knife and seeing it didn't faze me.
Spent about 4 hours at that spot, and hit up another spot on the way home and flicked some other amazing pieces.
Was a great day out, and I had fun. Isn't that what it's all about!!? I even managed to flick some pieces from some of my favorite writes I haven't seen before!
Also witnessed a procession of like 100 Honda Groms and other motorcycles rolling by: youtu.be/H4uLI_EupHU
Thanks to all of the writers and fellow benchers. Stay safe out there. Look both ways before crossing!!

As usual, I'll be by in a few days to start #tagging pieces that that I recognise or can figure out. If you spot any errors, just let me know.
Another beater Rolleiflex. I missed my 3.5E3. Found another one, though not nearly as nice as the last. But it does have the 12/24 option that I was after.
Down Town Tour
Because I only had one full day in New York I took back to back Hop On Hop Off Buses. Some of the images are not very good as the bus would go over bumps etc,.I have kept them in as memorises of the day. I only got off the bus once so most of the photos were taken as we were travelling along. Sadly I just didn't have time to have a good walk around.
I woke to a lovely sunny day and not too cold with around 16c. As the day went on it clouded over a bit and cooled down. November 7, 2018 USA.
I lose my way and it's not too long before you point it out.
I cannot cry because i know that's weakness in your eyes.
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh every day of my life.
My heart can't possibly break when it wasn't even whole to start with.
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk, because of you I learned to play on the safe side so i don't get hurt. Because of you I find it hard to trust not only ME , but EVERYONE around me, because of you...
I AM AFRAID
Because love is always beautiful.

Because there is only one image known of Katheryn, and that is sometimes disputed, I have chosen to add a few portraits of unknown origin. This one is a Victorian engraving showing a portrait type based on an unknown original.
Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all.
Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all.
Nine times out of ten, our hearts just get dissolved.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
Here we go!

"I pray because I can't help myself.
I pray because I'm helpless.
I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping.
It doesn't change God- it changes me."

bought this one at a yard sale for 10$ a couple summers ago from a little old man. there were still 4 exposures in it, so i took it and experimented with one load of film. anyone want to go in on a box of polas together?
What an unexpected bonus awaited us in Freeport! Because of construction at Cococay, our cruise itinerary was modified and that private island was replaced with Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. I think that people were generally fine, though a few were more vocal in their complaining. The captain during the session with guests and other crew leaders made a good point. We were a longer cruise and a shorter one that only went to Cococay and Nassau could not be well served with changing their itinerary. So we got to go to Freeport Harbour. I knew there was going to be one ship in port with us, but as we approached, I noticed more cruise ships? Normally the sites do not get it that wrong. But they I realized that these were ships in dry dock, something I had never ever seen before. The ships in dry dock are the Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas and Empress of the Seas, the Celebrity Summit and the Carnival Freedom. Also there was the GNV-Rhapsody, a car ferry from Italy. These were being serviced at the Grand Bahama Shipyard. For the record, I would have loved if they did a brief harbor tour so you could get closer. Have to figure I am not the only ship-geek who would enjoy that. I will have to suggest that for the next time I am in Freeport! Taken from onboard the Grandeur of the Seas and on terra firma at Freeport, Grand Bahama Island on Monday February 18th, 2019. These were from our Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas for a 9 Night Southeast Coast & Bahamas Cruise (February 14th through the 23rd, 2019). The itinerary include stops in Charleston (SC), Port Canaveral (FL), Freeport (Grand Bahama Island), Nassau (Bahamas) and Miami (FL) before heading back to Baltimore.
and you can always make me smile.

another photo of my sister

i dont know how i'll manage
Because we just love the sunrise and sunset lights, on the same day on our Yallow Water billabong sunrise cruise, we had scheduled a scenic flight just before sunset to fly over Jabiru and large parts of Kakadu National Park.
The following shots are just a few samples of all the shots I took that day. It was quite a challenge because of the plane windows, but what a view...
You have to know that April is known a the storm season in Kakadu, and Aboriginal people recognise 6 seasons along the year. The sky was absolutely fantastic and gave a incredible light on the ground...

Wikipedia: Porthcurno is unusually well known for its size because of its history as a major international submarine telegraph cable station. In the late nineteenth century, the remote beach at Porthcurno became internationally famous as the British termination of early submarine telegraph cables, the first of which was landed in 1870, part of an early international link stretching all the way from the UK to India, which was then a British colony.[6] Porthcurno was chosen in preference to the busy port of Falmouth because of the reduced risk of damage to the cables caused by ships’ anchors.[6][7] In 1872, the Eastern Telegraph Company (ETC) Limited was formed which took over the operation of the cables and built a cable office in Porthcurno valley. The concrete cable hut, where the cable shore ends were connected to their respective landlines, is a listed building and still stands at the top of the beach. ETC and its cable operations expanded through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in 1928 to merge with Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company Limited to form Imperial and International Communications Limited which was re-named Cable and Wireless Limited in 1934.[8]. Cable and Wireless Limited was a predecessor company of Cable & Wireless Worldwide plc.
In the Inter-War years, the Porthcurno cable office operated as many as 14 cables simultaneously, for a time becoming the largest submarine cable station in the World, with the capacity to receive and transmit up to 2,000,000 words a day.[8] Porthcurno is still known colloquially by the acronym 'PK' being represented in Morse code as 'di-dah-dah-dit' followed by 'dah-di-dah'.[9] In the early days of expensive telegraphy, this could be sent unambiguously with just two letters instead of ten.[10]
Over the years, many apprentices were trained at the Porthcurno cable office in telegraphy and supporting skills, initially by ETC and then by Cable and Wireless.[6] In 1950 Cable and Wireless, now nationalised, opened an engineering college offering courses in branches of telecommunications on the site for employees, secondees and external students. Porthcurno is still recalled today by long-serving staff at telecommunications offices across the World who were former students here. The cable office closed in 1970, exactly 100 years after the first cable was landed, but the college remained open, receiving substantial investment in buildings and training equipment through the 1970s and 1980s, but this also closed permanently in 1993. Subsequently some of the less attractive 70s college buildings, including the prison-like block known as 'Howitt House' were demolished.[citation needed]. After the closure of the college the award winning Porthcurno Telegraph Museum was opened. This museum has been featured locally and nationally on educational programmes including the BBC TV documentary series What the Victorians Did for Us and Coast and has developed into a significant Cornish tourist attraction.[citation needed] It occupies some of the former college buildings and includes many exhibits which are located in 'The Tunnel'.
Because it wouldn't be a pony convention without someone wearing one of those horse head masks. Still, a pretty good Roy Mustang (from the "Fullmetal Alchemist" anime) cosplay!

Because I could not find a nice leatherman holster for my new wave like the one I had for my old leatherman I made one my self.
It is made from thick leather with strong rivets. Fits perfect for leatherman wave new.
Madison, Indiana
Madison is Indiana's best kept secret. It has to be your destination because it isn't on the way to anywhere. Roughly halfway between Cincinnati and Louisville on the Ohio River, Madison was a thriving riverfront city once destined to be Indiana's capital, but lost out to Indianapolis's central location. Madison is a fabulous collection of historic architecture, including many mansions, homes and unique riverfront boarding houses that served the river trade before, during and after the civil war. Much of the famous New Orleans wrought iron was made here and shipped down river. This is a town that time seems to have passed by, at least in part.
The Lanier Mansion was built in a strict Greek Revival style by the successful financier James Lanier in 1834, who later moved to NYC, but helped Governor Morton finance union troops for Indiana during the Civil War. The home has a few notes of tragedy however, as his wife died 2 years after it's completion, and his young son who drowned in the Ohio River is said to haunt the grounds, walking from the river to the house.
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
