The photographer's best friend, golden light, shines on K500, the now discontinued ore train, as it heads south through Dyer, IN, back in November of 2015. There's rumors that ore trains might be running again on CSX's Monon sub, since the processing plant in Reynolds, IN has been sold to new interests. I miss the variety that these former ore trains offered, running many times with unexpected foreign line power. You can see the shadows from those newly planted evergreens are lapping at the base of the rails. As the trees grow larger, they'll become more of a problem.
Detail from Marangoni effect - surface tension gradient causing flow around a droplet of dye. The droplet is approximately 3 mm in diameter.
Linen tied with linenthread.....I find it a good thread to work with as linen, when getting wet, shrinks, and then the tied cloth becomes even more tight....
This is the first time i dye pure linen cloth. It should be more difficult to dye linen or other cellulose fibres than dyeing wool and silk....gues it is because you have to do some more mordanting (tannin and alum) instead of only alum when dyeing wool....
But i find it nice also to dye linen and cotton or mix of linen and cotton....and I do buy a lot of linen for making paintings...so I do have a lot of it....
I'm proud to announce my first published magazine photo spread.
DYE Magazine, which is focused on heavily dyed or pigmented hair was gracious enough to accept my photos of Stephanie Castro as Captain America that I took at Long Beach Comic Con.

There are several instances when long hood forward locomotives are the better choice, and this is one of them. Not because the 4619, a first gen GP9, was set up to run LHF, not for dramatic effect, either, but because the other short hood end is really ugly. This old veteran was originally a Grand Trunk Western GP9 and wore the old olive and gold. It also served time on the Central Vermont, then came back home. I don't know who or when the lobotomy was done, but it wasn't the best work the loco doctors had ever done. It came out with a nice streak of unpainted rust around the top of the chopped nose and was never painted over or repaired. So be happy you don't have to look at that end. The crew aboard the 4619, the Griffith local, may not have been happy, but then they're inside the beast and not outside having to look at it...
Plenty of twists and turns on the descent to Lyttelton, near Christchurch, New Zealand.

This lady was getting ready to dye some wool that had been carded and cleaned after shearing. She explained the process as she got the batch ready. The wool at the forefront had been dyed the day before and was done in the historic manner of the 1860s. The wool was still being heated, but not boiled in preparation for the dye.

This is what I did:
1. Soaked 4 items to be dyed in Rit Color Remover. I made it up with warm tap water and used an entire package of powder. Nasty stuff. Use outside. It did not work. Probably because I did not boil the water? Some strange dye came out of one of the stained items and an orange skirt and the white dress turned purple. Strange. Avoid using this if possible. I had good results the first time I used it, but not the second or third.
2. Rinsed the color remover out. Took forever. Washed items several times in Ivory Clothes Detergent. Horrible odor.
3. Soaked wet items in Rit dye solution for about 45 minutes. Stirring fairly constantly.
8 cups water
8 Teaspoons Liquid Rit Purple Dye
6 teaspoons salt
Salt is supposed to help the cloth absorb the dye evenly. That worked pretty well. Better than when I did not use salt on my second dye experiment.
4. Rinsed the items intil the water ran clear. Takes forever.
5. Let dry. Noticed that the bow area did not absorb the purple as well as the rest of the dress. I wet the dress and then spot dyed that area with dye on a q tip. Worked pretty well.
This is a pain in the neck, but still something I enjoy doing every so often with old, ratty vintage Barbie items. Gives them a new life. I did a skirt, too. It has a dye streak and needs to be washed out, again.
Sunset is coming sooner now since we're in August and the blue light makes its appearance earlier. It had just turned 800pm and we were about to call it a night. It had been a nice evening with a cool breeze, enjoyed by about four or five of us at the depot in Dyer. I got up to leave and took one last glance down the tracks, having left my scanner in the car. (I know, I'm lazy.) Surprised by a headlight, we grabbed our cameras and got ready for whatever was coming south. Turned out to be K500, an ore train off the BNSF and headed to Reynolds. Leading it was one of those sharp CITX lessors, CREX 1205. That blue and gold striped nose looked good in the blue light. A nice way to end a nice night.
We haven't seen the sun yet here in Da Region since the new year started, so I went looking for something to remind me what it looked like. I figured a nice clean Armour Yellow SD70M should do the trick. Of course, I had to go back over six years to find one. The 3846 and its train, Q642, has a brick on it as it occupies the short siding at Dyer, IN back in late May of 2014.

Rob and I ventured into Coney Island after warped tour yesterday and snuck on a few rides and shot a lot of really hilarious photos and also some nice ones. I've known Rob for almost 4 years! He's one of my best friends.

ROG Class 37/6 No.37601 Perseus is seen passing through Dyers Lane, Barnes on the 27th of October 2018 in Charge of the 09:25 5Q87 Ilford EMUD - New Cross CSD, unit move consisting of TfL EMU 378150 which was on its way to New Cross Gate CSD after receiving the new TfL Livery.
Here is a photo of Chicago, Indianapolis & Louiville's Dyer, Indiana tower, date unknown. Pictured on the steps is the operator and the view is looking north from about the Monon/EJ&E diamonds. This tower controlled the Monon, EJ&E and Michigan Central movements. The MC & EJ&E ran east and west parallel approximately a quarter mile apart. As far as I know, the tower had no switches on any of the 3 roads inside the plant. It just controlled signals. It also did not hand out train orders. This is probably why it was easy to put the control to the agent and finally automate.
This photo is from the collection of Mahlon Eberhard.
Update: The north end of the siding on the Monon was in fact interlocked.
Power on K500, the southbound ore trains that run on CSX's Monon Sub, can be a nice surprise. I've seen NS, UP, CSX, and even CP power on these trains. But usually, it's BNSF stuff that you'll see the most. On a day like today, that ain't necessarily a bad thing. A decent looking SD70MAC in Grinstein paint, leads the train today in nice fall light.
The redness had seeped from the sky as the day was about to fade away and the night was arranging herself around us, cooling things down, bringing about the winds of change, dyeing the evening purple and blue black.
Another one those moments where I couldn't resist myself from halting my car, just sitting beside the road as final act of the day by our mother nature began in full swing, and penultimately clicking a few pictures here and there in the process.

This is my experiences with black tea-bags....
and as for my experiences with chaga-dyeing...here it did not matter for the wool if it had got some Alum-treatment before the dyeing or not...
The treatment with a weak iron solution made the tea-dyed fabric a nice cool grey- compared to the olive-green made the same way with the chaga-dyeing..
Re-published since have been deleted in my operation mistake.
I'm sorry.
It is a piece that was taken by the Toyama Prefecture Nanto certain place on July 10. But it was taken after sunset, was a red sky, such as the blood.
