Lucille in the park. Yesterday's flood put an end to the rock wall. I guess I need to start thinking about different locations.
Like the two preceding "can you tell which thing is not like the others" photos, it is possible to find quite a few ways that four are the same, one is different. I'll give you some starters....see if you can find others.
1. Only one has a baby on the back
2. Only one is wearing pink bedroom slippers
3. Only one has glasses
Okay......what can you find.....?????

Built in 1929, this 17-story Art Deco-style former passenger railroad station was designed by Fellheimer & Wagner to replace the multiple previous train stations and termini in Buffalo, which were scattered throughout the city and belonged to different railroads. The structure stands on the site of the old Union Depot built in 1874, which closed in the early 1920s. The station began construction in 1925 when the New York Central Railroad settled on building their new union terminal in Buffalo at the site, with the station being built to accommodate the expected growth of Buffalo from a city of about 550,000 people to one with 1.5 million people, and to accommodate continued growth in passenger numbers. However, both of these projections never materialized, with the city’s population growth and the railroad’s passenger numbers growth, already slowing in the 1920s, slowing further due to the Great Depression during the 1930s, and then beginning a long, steady decline, only being briefly buoyed by World War II before falling out of favor as automobile travel proved more flexible and air travel more swift than train travel. Due to these circumstances, the terminal was overbuilt and never reached its full capacity during its operations, only coming close during World War II due to resource shortages and mass mobilization of the United States during wartime. The terminal was offered for sale by the New York Central Railroad for one million dollars in 1956, but found no buyers, with continuing declines in passenger numbers, coupled with the decline in the population of Buffalo itself, leading to several services being ended during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1966, the railroad, in an effort to save costs and downsize their facilities, demolished several outbuildings in the complex, and in 1968, the once powerful New York Central Railroad, a husk of its former self, merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad in an attempt to consolidate their expenses and save both companies, but this merger proved unsuccessful, leading to their bankruptcy in 1976, with both railroads absorbed into the public-private partnership known as Conrail.
In the meantime, Amtrak was formed in 1971 to provide passenger rail service in the United States, operating out of the terminal until 1979, with the agency facing budgetary limitations that did not allow them to renovate the aging structure, which, when coupled with the massive expenses of keeping the building comfortable, dry, and well-lit, led to the agency building two smaller stations in Buffalo during the 1970s to replace it. The terminal was subsequently purchased by Anthony T. Fedele, whom managed to maintain the building in decent condition, but was unable to find any interested developers to reuse the building, and eventually fell behind on taxes, leading to the building being seized at foreclosure so the taxes could be recouped by the government. During the time it was owned by Fedele, the building was vacated by Conrail’s offices between 1980 and 1984, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, with the final operations at the terminal, the interlocking towers that once signaled trains arriving at the station, being shut down in 1985. In 1986, the building was purchased at auction by Thomas Telesco, whom did not maintain the building, selling off many artifacts and fixtures from its interior, and proposing grandiose and unrealistic schemes of what he would do with the building, including being a stop on a high-speed rail line between New York and Toronto. The building was then sold to Bernie Tuchman and Samuel Tuchman, with the building seeing further elements removed and sold, and the building continuing to decay.
In 1997, the terminal, then in poor condition, was purchased by Scott Field of the Preservation Coalition of Erie County, whom paid for the building’s back taxes, and shortly thereafter, formed the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, transferring ownership of the building to the organization. The building was stabilized and secured under the stewardship of the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, which opened the building for public tours in 2003, and holds many fundraising events at the station every year. The building has been preserved, but a restoration or adaptive reuse of the structure has so far remained elusive.
The building features a brown brick exterior with an octagonal corner tower, with a large barrel-roofed main concourse structure wrapping around the tower to the south and east. The facade of the tower features multiple setbacks, chamfered corners, corner clock faces at the roofline above the twelfth floor, a rotunda with large archways and buttresses atop the tower with a decorative trim crown at the parapet, vertical window bays that stretch from the building’s base to the roofline, large entrances with metal canopies, large transoms, and stone surrounds, pilasters, and stone trim and caps atop the parapets. The main concourse portion of the building features large arched curtain walls at the ends of its barrel vaulted roof, a cavernous barrel vaulted interior, large metal canopies over the entrances, and a tunnel underneath that once allowed traffic on Curtiss Street to run beneath the building, though this has been closed since the 1980s due to the building’s decay, with a light court between the waiting room and a low-rise office block in the front, which sits just east of the tower and presents a similar facade treatment to that of the tower, with vertically accentuated window bays and pilasters. The rear of the building is more spartan in appearance, with a scar from the former location of the entrance to the train concourse to the rear, with the connecting structure having been removed following the discontinuation of railroad services at the building in 1979. The train concourse features multiple platforms with Art Deco-style aluminum canopies with sleek columns, thin-profile roofs, and rounded ends, with the train concourse featuring arched clerestory windows and a gabled roof, and being in a rather advanced state of deterioration with vegetation having grown throughout the structure and the surrounding abandoned tracks between the platforms. Attached to the southwest corner of the main building is the baggage building, a simpler six-story Art Deco-style structure with a buff brick exterior, a penthouse above the main entrance to the building, pilasters, vertically accentuated window bays, steel windows, stone spandrel panels, stone trim, and stone parapet caps, with long canopies along the base of the front and rear of the building that protected incoming and outgoing mail and baggage from inclement weather. To the west of the baggage building is the one-story mail processing building, which features a similar facade treatment, with the main difference besides height being the rooftop monitor windows in the middle of the building’s roof. Southwest of the baggage and mail processing building, sitting close to Memorial Drive, is a structure that formerly housed the Railway Express Agency, which is more utilitarian than the rest of the surviving complex, and is in an advanced state of decay, with the demolition of the structure being planned to take place sometime this decade. The structure features large window bays with steel windows, stucco cladding on the brick structure, and the remnants of canopies on the north and south facades of the first floor, with a long and low one-story wing to the rear.
The complex is one of the largest designed by Fellheimer & Wagner, and has maintained a remarkable state of preservation in its original form with few changes since its construction, besides some damage from the years of decay and neglect in the 1980s and 1990s. Another notable structure by the firm, and one of the most well-known railroad stations in the world, is Grand Central Terminal in New York City, which was also built for the New York Central Railroad. In addition to Grand Central Terminal, the firm also designed terminals that are more similar in appearance to the Buffalo Central Terminal, including Union Station in South Bend, Indiana, and Cincinnati Union Terminal, with Grand Central Terminal, Buffalo Central Terminal, and Cincinnati Union Terminal being among the largest, most impressive, and most significant railroad stations ever built in the United States. The station, though unrestored, is still impressive, and hopefully will be eventually adaptively reused for an economically sustainable function.

Four days, four different vests, most of which are failures. Ah, well. This creative life...
Vest #1 was the altered pattern as-is. Kinda cute, but too blocky for me. It clearly needed to be adjusted. This is from Tarja's bolero jacket pattern, but her seam allowances are less than half of what I'm comfortable with, so I always have to alter them before I use 'em.
Vest #2 was better, but while that fabric is awesome, there's no thread that'll go with it and not show. This shows darn near every bad stitch. But I liked the fit...
Vest #3 started with the bright idea of sewing two pattern pieces together, then turning 'em right side out. Too bad the shoulder parts were waaay too narrow to turn. I tried to put in shoulder seams to save it, but it didn't work. Currently residing in the Study trash can.
Vest #4 worked much better - it's still two pattern pieces, I simply didn't sew the armholes until after I'd turned it right side out from sewing the front and neckline. Unfortunately, it's a cardboardy sort of fit, due to the doubled fabric. Back to the drawing board...
Inspired by the the theme of "a different perspective" for the "Me Again Monday" group.
And here's my pompous artist's statement! ;-)
I've always wondered how much it's possible to make a self-portrait and yet hide at the same time.
When I first started doing self-portraits, I was inspired by the way that Cindy Sherman used to play different characters in her self-portraits and I wanted to explore the idea of how much I could look like someone else but still look like me. I realised that even in choosing to make myself look different, I was revealing more of myself than I thought, just in a different way.
After a while, I've started trying to be more honest in selfies.
Just now I've come full circle, and I feel like adding some of the mystery back in.
Uh-oh... does my bum look big in this?!!

Trying something different today. Often seen pics like this, never tried it myself, cause not much skyscrapers or large buildings around.. This building is a simple office building; Lemelerberg in Alphen a/d Rijn - Holland.

Pei said we are so different even in the photos. I ran into this position and it was a bit dangerous. My feet were floating in the air because I was sitting on the edge and if I ran any harder or didn't sit steady enough I'd fall off. Was a bit fun for that! I like the unease expression Pei had on her face and her gesture. After using Holga we finally agreed to use my normal lens for a final shoot. So finally we can see a bit of light :-D
Pei said, I am emotional, and she goes with the flow. :-)

“Envision…a different world” —Octavia E. Butler
Students from Rockdale Visual and Performing Arts Magnet School in Eagle Rock recently participated in an art project in which they created images, shown here, inspired by the futuristic writings of award-winning science fiction author Octavia E. Butler. Butler (1947–2006), a Pasadena native, bequeathed her papers to The Huntington. An exhibition about her life and work, titled Octavia E. Butler: Telling My Stories, will be on view at The Huntington April 8–Aug. 7, 2017. A selection of 19 student artworks will be displayed in the exhibition.
The art-making was part of a larger science fiction writing project, with a curriculum developed by Huntington educators and Rockdale teachers. For students, the program was a unique opportunity to use primary sources at The Huntington to understand a writer’s craft while developing their own voices as writers. For The Huntington, it was a rewarding way to explore the potential of the Butler collection to motivate and inspire young learners.
