Dropped down off the top of the Downs to walk under the ridge for a while. Not sure how this hill got its name...
Another cool Japanese psychedelic band I enjoyed seeing what feels like eons ago...the light for this band was only the projected colors from behind so I didn't get a ton of great photos but hopefully this one will do.

Situé entre le centre-ville du Cap et les contreforts de Signal Hill, Bo-Kaap doit son nom à l’expression afrikaans qui signifie “au-dessus du cap”. Aujourd’hui, il est connu comme l’un des endroits les plus instagrammables du pays, grâce à ses maisons aux couleurs pastel.
À l’époque de l’apartheid, Bo-Kaap était soumis au Group Areas Act de 1950, qui permettait au gouvernement de séparer la population en déclarant des quartiers séparés pour chaque race ou religion. Bo-Kaap a été désignée comme une zone réservée aux musulmans et les personnes d’autres religions ou ethnies ont été expulsées de force. En fait, Bo-Kaap était la seule zone du Cap dans laquelle les Malais du Cap étaient autorisés à vivre. Elle était unique en ce qu’elle était l’un des rares emplacements du centre-ville à être réservés aux non-blancs: la plupart des autres ethnies ont été transférées dans des township tels que Khayelitsha

Bo-Kaap owes its name to the Afrikaans expression meaning 'above the cape'. Today, it is known as one of the most Instagrammable places in the country, thanks to its pastel-coloured houses.
During the apartheid era, Bo-Kaap was subject to the Group Areas Act of 1950, which allowed the government to segregate the population by declaring separate areas for each race or religion. Bo-Kaap was designated as a Muslim-only area and people of other religions or ethnicities were forcibly evicted. In fact, Bo-Kaap was the only area in Cape Town where Cape Malays were allowed to live. It was unique in that it was one of the few inner-city locations reserved for non-whites: most other ethnicities were moved to townships such as Khayelitsha
As I stood there waiting for the light to change I realized I was looking at a casual, not particularly impressive intersection and saw the immediate beauty it was carrying.
I knew it had so much inherent charm and detail that my brain just could not digest it all.
So I followed Garry Winogrand's adage "I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed", "but then it becomes something completely different on a two dimensional plane between four corners."
B&O's Mineral City local soars over the roof tops of houses in Mineral City with loads of crude for a refinery in Pennsylvania. The oil was collected from loading racks at the end of the Huff Run branch which was a switchback from near the south end of the trestle. The 860 ft trestle crossed over Huff Run and the switchback then went 3 miles up the creek to reach the loading racks. Before oil was loaded, the branch was built to reach a coal mine, several brick yards and a sand/gravel operation. Oil gave new life to the branch and 3-4 times a week, the local would bring 10 loads back to Akron. A new loading rack was built in 1985 several miles to the north that allowed removing the trestle and the branch,. The W&LE bought the line from the B&O in the early 90's and continues to move oil from the new terminal between Mineral City and Sandyville. August 1974
In early November 1973, there were still plenty of fall colors along the Nimishillen Creek bed in North industry Ohio. This spot is just south of where the B&O crossed under Ohio Rute 800. Train today had one box car which was probably an idler for when they picked up the loaded tankers and one covered hopper which might have been sand to unload at Sandyville for oil drilling.
here are a few images that I took of several installations at Blue Orange. Currently showing multiple artists.. sculptural work, written word, and 2 dimensional work.
Stop motion image of one of the books from the Blue Orange Library .. it's wonderful, weird, wacky and a perfect spot to spend some time ! The books hold the writings of some of SL's authors... click on each of the books and get to know some serious SL talent !
hope you get the chance to visit !
