She surveyed the waters of Canada's Arctic and the coast of Newfoundland and was also used as a patrol and training vessel. Now permanently docked in Halifax Harbour next to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.

On my way to a store this morning I noticed big fluffy dark smokin' clouds more than 10 kilometers to my left while eventually heading to the same direction. The road was blocked and it was obviously it became clear something was on fire. While moving closer I saw this big crane smoking, producing an enormous amount of fire and smoke like you can see here. I didn't want to bother anyone - actually I'm not the kind of disaster-tourist, really- but I just grabbed my camera almost automatically and needed to take a series of shots for future reference and - of course - for some new and hopefully exiting post-processing experiments.
Location: Emmen, in the province of Drenthe, the Netherlands.
A single 200mm shot post-processed in Photoshop. Really not much processing actually. I just added a bit more red and locally painted-in slightly more contrast.

A three-car eastbound South Shore passenger train crosses the ICG heading for home rails at Kensington Tower on a very frigid morning, in January 1982.
CSS train AF2 just came through the drawbridge on Amtrak's Michigan line. The CSS works a couple industries on this side of the river. It was another frigid day in the Midwest. I woke up to -12 degrees, drove the 2 1/4 hours to Michigan City to chase the CSS down the Kingsbury line. When I arrived, I received the disappointing news that they were not running down there today. But found out the AF2 job was waiting near Drawbridge for Amtrak to go by. Thanks to KV for the tip.
CSS 2009 runs through the controlled siding under the x-Michigan Central coal tower in Michigan City. A large number of cars for USALCO and Shell necessitated the move.
The theme of my weekend was MOODLE and INTRO to CSS. Saturday am woke up at 4am burning with the desire to record my top ten tips for new edna Groups users. Shared it in the edna Group Owners forum and will work up a blog post soon.
Saturday night watched a great series of how to videos from the Moodleman himself Julian Ridden on how to create a Moodle template.
Tonight, I dug in and gave it a go. This is NOT the finished product, it's where I had to stop for tonight. I had a fantastic time learning and love, love, love Firebug, Dreamweaver, Filezilla and Gimp in concert. Also LOVE Colour Picker. (Yes I know Dreamweaver can FTP, no I haven't set it up yet cuz I was impatient.)
DOM = document object model (everything on a single web page *document* everything on that page is an object. Colour picker can spit back a palette of a web.
Seeing a South Shore 800 was always a treat for me. The CSS&SB's version of the Little Joe was massive, powerful, and sleek. It didn't make any difference if it was moving or standing still, the 800's were hard to beat.
