The cable guy. It was a cold, wintry night when we called. Cable was out. They said it would cost extra to send someone out off hours, but we were willing to pay; TV after all. So they dispatched him. Two hours later we called back asking about service. They said they had dispatched a service truck almost two hours ago and he should be there. He may be somewhere in the area, checking connections. Give him another hour then call back. An hour and a half later we call back. They’re not sure what’s happened and they’re checking into it. They’ll be in touch.
Morning news reported a missing cable truck and service engineer. That was the local news for almost two weeks, after the cable guy disappeared. They never found him, or his truck. Rumor was he had some personal issues and likely drove cross country somewhere. His family disagreed, said he was in good spirits and would never leave without saying something. That was nearly fifteen years ago…

Il Traghetto di Leonardo è un particolare tipo di traghetto a mano che prende il nome dal suo presunto inventore, Leonardo da Vinci. L'unico esemplare tuttora funzionante unisce i moli di Imbersago (Lecco) e Villa d'Adda (Bergamo).
Nonostante il nome, non v'è certezza che Leonardo sia il reale inventore, di sicuro si sa che studiò a lungo il progetto nel periodo che passò a lavorare per Ludovico il Moro, signore di Milano.
In seguito ai suoi studi disegnò un traghetto uguale in tutto e per tutto a quello esistente tuttora ad Imbersago. Gli studi vennero effettuati dall'inventore durante il proprio soggiorno a Vaprio d'Adda sotto al Girolamo Melzi, negli anni 1506-1507; il disegnò che ne risultò, datato 1513, è stato incluso nel Codice Windsor e viene conservato nell'omonimo castello in Inghilterra. Il famoso disegno del "porto della Canonica di Vaprio" raffigura il traghetto (detto "porto") vincolato ad una fune, modello comune a tutto il corso del fiume.
Central Hudson Gas & Electric used 13 kv as a subtransmission voltage years ago, but they're using it as distribution voltage now. There are still some old subs around that step 13kv down to 4kv in the area, but they are fast disappearing as 4kv dwindles.
Shooting just before twilight is always a challenge as the light continuously fades and one needs to make adjustments progressively with time.
I had to wait for some time for the Sun to touch the horizon before I could take this snap. With one leg on a boat (that was marooned near the banks) and one leg on land, I was able to trap the Sun between the cables.
In the background is Vidyasagar Setu, or second Hoogly bridge as it is also commonly known as.
