We're here visiting The Innocence and Savagery of Elevators
We stepped in the elevator to go up one floor ... and there they were! Too good to be true. My heart leaped, my mind jumped ahead: how long would we be together in this confined space? One minute? No, thirty seconds?
"You look remarkable," I said, "can I take your picture?"
"Sure," she said. He hesitated. "I don't have to be included?"
"Oh yes! You look marvelous together!
Their pose was rather stiff but sympathetic. He withstood the attention of a camera. She enjoyed the unexpected elevator moment. I marveled at her T-shirt, just long enough to serve as a dress. Had she just bought it the museum shop? And immediately changed clothes? I was going to ask, but the lift stopped, the door opened. We had to get out. "Thank you, guys!" was all I could say, still not completely landed in my own head.
Sometimes a meeting with a stranger is just like that. Short as lightning.

A Fleet Week Saturday aboard the USS Nimitz.
The day began at San Francisco Airport, where I boarded a US Navy C-2 transport plane at sunrise for a flight out to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, which was cruising 50 miles off the California Coast. After landing on the flight deck, we disembarked for a tour while the ship sailed toward San Francisco to participate in the Fleet Week "Parade of Ships." Upon clearing the Golden Gate Bridge, the Nimitz launched three F-18s from the flight deck as we cruised past Fisherman's Wharf. From there we continued onward, under the Bay Bridge to an anchorage in the middle of the San Francisco Bay, just off South Beach. And then I had to go home.
It was a very remarkable day. Many thanks to the US Navy for extending the invitation, and the kind sailors who showed us around their ship!

Pincher Station just North of Pincher Creek, Alberta. A long history in this Southern area, along with a lone elevator. Pincher creek, and area were founded, from what I can find, in the late 1800's which makes sense as that's when the main East/West CP Rail lines were being built. Pincher Station was built on that reason.
Buenos Aires has a beautiful, stately 8-story building downtown - dedicated to art and culture. There are many changing exhibits, and performances at the Kirchner Center.....even dance and yoga classes and I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. They have modern elevators and old ones too so in the spirit of art, I played with 2 looks of the classic elevator.
what she had told me too, before we headed for an instant - still warm - meal, was: "you're right and got no reason to worry, baby. life is great. when you're dead by thirty" - she smiled and it was an extremely old smile.

Superior, where Rail Meets Sail, kind of, once in awhile, just not his time. This old SW-1 still earning its keep at the old Flour mill site in Superior's East End, here in a rare move they are spotting cars at the Elevator M site which I haven't seen them do in several years.
We have had so many overcast, gloomy days recently and it has been dark inside my home. This has made it a bit hard to tell whether my photos are a bit too dark, as this one is. May or may not get round to brightening it later. This old grain elevator was in shadow when we saw it and my photo wasn't as sharp as I would have liked. Added a filter to it in post-processing, that brings out the details.
On 18 July 2016, I had a wonderful day out NE of the city with my daughter. The last time I actually drove eastwards was about seven months ago, when I was shooting Short-eared Owls near the end of January. The last time (also the first time) I had ever driven out as far as Drumheller was on 29 September 2014. So, my daughter and I had a great time exploring the roads between Calgary and Drumheller. There were a handful of things or places we wanted to check out, but many things were total surprises. We knew we wanted to see fields, yellow fields full of canola as far as the eye could see. No disappointment there, as we took in the gorgeous colour and the perhaps not so pleasant smell of this crop. When we were driving through regular, green landscapes, it all seemed so 'ordinary' after being treated to vibrant gold.
As well as canola fields, we also knew of a particular grain elevator (seen in this photo) and nearby old barn that we were keen to see. There was also an old, two-storey house in a hilly setting that we knew would have to be photographed from a great distance, but we were curious about it. There was also a small wetland that I wanted to drive by, just in case there was something to see. How glad we were that we went to the latter, as a beautiful Black-crowned Night-heron was posing nicely on a post out in the open. This was the first time I had ever seen one close, so it made my day. At least, an adult - in October 2015, I had seen a gorgeous juvenile in Fish Creek Park.
Continuing on our way, we stopped to take a couple of quick shots of an Eastern Kingbird and then my daughter spotted a dark patch just above ground level, hidden in the bushes. It turned out to be an Eastern Kingbird's nest, with what looked like three large babies in it. No idea how she caught sight of this, but it was a treat to see.
Soon after this, we stopped to photograph a beautiful red barn and then stopped again to photograph a Western Kingbird. This is not a bird I normally see, so i was very happy to catch sight of this one.
A short drive further, we spotted a shorebird standing on a fence post - and then a second one a few posts away. At first, we thought maybe they were Wilson's Snipe, but then realized that they were something different - two beautiful Upland Sandpipers. I had seen one a number of years ago, but it was too far away for a photo. These are uncommon in Alberta.
It was a pretty good day for hawks, too - so much so, that I got a gentle reminder from my daughter that I didn't need to photograph EVERY hawk we saw, lol. We had other places and other things that we wanted to get to.
As well as birds and beautiful scenery, we saw several old barns, including a special small shed/granary. Each year, the farmer allows the graduating class from the local high school to decorate this old building in any way they wish. A fun idea and it certainly adds a splash of colour. I was absolutely fascinated to read a little bit of history from someone who was a contact of mine on Flickr two or three years ago. Her Grandmother was apparently born in this house/shed. It was later converted to a granary and now, of course, has become the canvas for local students.
One of our main goals was to visit the old grain elevator at Sharples (seen in this photo). I had wanted to visit there for quite a while and finally, we made it. Unfortunately, the elevator and nearby barn were in shadow, but it was great to see both old structures. We also passed another old elevator when we were driving along the road north of the river, on the way to Drumheller. This, needless to say, meant another stop for photos.
A great day of fun, seeing and photographing such a variety of things. Beautiful weather and, best of all, a day spent with my daughter. Thanks so much, Rachel - glad you felt up to a day out, but sorry you got so many mosquito bites!
