Even though it was only just after 3 o'clock, this was my last shot on 11/9/2020. I didn't find anything else to shoot as the BIP afternoon job switched tank cars around and didn't come out of high yard until after dark. But no matter, it had been a great day following the job up to Relief and back to Parkersburg. Here they're coming off of the bridge over the Ohio River known as the 6th St Railroad Bridge and into Downtown Parkersburg. The bridge was opened in 1871 and was part of the B&O's mainline to St Louis. The shot is from a parking garage that is easy enough to drive into but I didn't see the entrance and wasn't sure how much time I had to circle back around on one way streets, so I dumped the car on the street, grabbed cameras, and hit the steps. Next time I'll pay the fifty cents.
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
مشتاقلك بس المسافه طويله@@بيني وبينك ماقدر اصلك واجيك
لاشك اببعثلك سلام تشيله@@ريح الجنوب وطيب العطر تهديك
من قلبي المشتاق يلبو جذيله@@ياخذ سواد الليل منها ويهديك
الحب لك وحدك وعندي دليله@@دمع العيون اللي على البعد يسقيك
الشوق والتحنان في كل ليله@@يسرق حلات النوم واسهر أناجيك
ياعود ريحان نما في خميله@@الروح مني ياشعل العين تفديك
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
Am 25. Februar 2021 konnte ich die schön saubere 101 041-2 mit dem ziemlich langen IC 2311 am Haken bei Büschelskamp ablichten. Da die Loks der Baureihe 101 mittlerweile auch in die Jahre gekommen sind und schon ein paar bei der Deutschen Bahn aussortiert wurden, Z-gestellt sind bzw. nicht mehr benötigt werden, muss man sich langsam auch mit dieser Lokomotive befassen. Durch die vielen neuen ICE 4 und IC 2 geht es, nach der Abstellung der Baureihe 120, der Baureihe 101 an den Kragen. Eine Lok wurde schon an DB Systemtechnik in Minden veräußert. Auch interessant ist für mich, dass ich den obigen InterCity von Westerland auf Sylt nach Stuttgart Hbf bisher immer nur bewusst auf der Marschbahn abgelichtet habe. Mag vielleicht daran liegen, dass sein Laufweg über die Rollbahn führt und ich dort, wenn nicht gerade Umleiter fahren, eigentlich kaum zum Fotografieren bin. Denn bis auf die typischen Standardzüge wie Locon mit DE18 nach Grolland, Metrans nach Bremerhaven, die LINEAS-Züge, Hectorrail und die DB-Züge fährt kaum etwas regelmäßig bzw. planmäßig an Güterzüge dort entlang. Es kann also teilweise dort sehr öde sein und da aktuell auch der Flixtrain Hamburg-Köln nicht fährt, fällt noch ein durchaus interessanter P-Zug weg. Bei meinem Besuch in der Fotokurve war der IC nur Beiwerk und ich hatte es eigentlich auf umgeleitet Güterzuge abgesehen. Davon konnte ich auch ein paar in die Sammlung aufnehmen. Diese Fotos liegen aber teilweise noch unbearbeitet im Archiv...

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 !
