An old BN logo fades back into existence after years of hiding under a m/w dip and chip. I found this on a rail train parked in Gibson Yard in Omaha over the weekend. I usually wouldn't shoot something like this, but the contrast and subtle outlines on my favorite logo were too good to resist.
Fading and falling as January comes to an end...where did that month go? Was it really just 25 days ago we were putting away the Christmas decorations...
note to self....buy more Tulips!!
textures thanks to Tóta.
Faded hoppers for Lantic Sugar are on short transfer that is leaving the Port of Montreal. The cruise ship Insignia in the background,
These tattered and faded flags represent our country. A convicted felon, pathological liar, twice-impeached, dyed in the wool fascist, insurrectionist, senile, sex offender, and child rapist occupies the highest office in the nation. And there are people who are OK with that. Fuck them. Fuck Trump. Fuck the Republican Party. Let’s hope that enough people rise up and take this country back following the wise words of our forefathers “When in the course of human events…”

aka THE house of decrepitude, is fading fast. i would like to find the surviving relatives of this old place and have a chat....i am simply astounded that this place is being allowed to just fade out of existence....what made the owners leave, and abandon this house with some of the furnishings still intact? why on earth have no surviving relatives done a thing to stop this from decaying. As much as i love this place for the hauntingly beautiful photos it makes, a part of me wants to scream “WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!???” Dear friends of mine live just up the road a bit in another house that was once owned by folks with the same family name as this house....now that i know the name on this one, and i am playing connect the dots, i am more intrigued than ever. i am SURE there are surviving family members around somewhere, because a new post went up across the street which reads NO TRESPASSING, and has the family name on it....which means the saw mill that was there, belonged to the owner of this house, way back when. (photo of the chimney from a couple days back is the remains of the mill)
funny how history was never my strong point in school.....i never found it to be all that fascinating studying it in a book. i am now certain that history should be taught hands on.....visually. a full on tactile experience, so that it comes alive. i never knew what i was missing until i began to EXPERIENCE history first hand!
Not to be a noodge....but this one REALLY, REALLY needs to be seen large on black to be appreciated!!! (what is wrong with me???? i like SO many of my own photos lately!!!)
Detail of the once impressive sign outside Lucky Tavern, 2331 West win Street, Louisville, Kentucky.
On Saturday 2/7/2022, 1451s (empty 1rail grain to Bowmans) is seen approaching the former Bolivar road crossing in Salisbury North (Adelaide) with the now standard north line duo of alf24-g535 in charge.
With the overhauls & repaints of the 1rail 3,000hp fleet happening, plus the imminent takeover by Aurizon, the faded livery on alf24 will soon become history.
Strobist info: two SBs fired into silver umbrellas camera left and right -- not certain but 1/16th or 1/32d power.
On 5 September 2025, I think I overdid things! It had been about three weeks since my head injury and I thought I would be able to manage a nice drive out of the city. I ended up getting home ten hours later, much of that time spent actually driving! The next day, I can't say I felt great, sigh.
I knew where I wanted to go, but somehow it took longer than I expected, and by the time I got home (after getting take-out food to last me a couple of days), the light was fading and car headlights were turning on. Something I have to avoid, as my eyes can't deal with the blinding lights.
My day started off by heading south on the highway (to save time) till I reached the Stavely area. Then, heading east. my bird sightings began. The highlight was a huge flock of Greater White-fronted Geese, down in the water, with lots of Gulls for company - and about half a dozen beautiful, white Snow Geese. Exactly the same as what I saw three (?) years ago, at the same area. Unfortunately, they were SO far away, so I was unable to get any half-decent photos. Delighted, though, to have seen them all.
The rest of my trip was along familiar roads, apart from just one fairly short section that if I had ever been there before, it would have been many years ago, while car-pooling.
Along one of the back roads, I had pulled over to take a photo of an old wooden homestead. A truck happened to come along in the opposite direction and the driver stopped to ask if everything was OK. Such a pleasant, interesting, knowledgeable man, who was from the Hutterite Colony. We had a long chat, including about birds. He suggested I try down the next road, which I did. No hawks, which I had been hoping for, but large flocks of Brown-headed Cowbirds, Brewer's Blackbirds, and Starlings, each species separate. When I returned back to the road on which we had met, to my delight, there was a beautiful Swainson's Hawk (?) juvenile, perched on a weathered fence.
A few old barns and old vehicles added to my day. including pulling over by a country garage to photograph several beautiful oldies that need a whole lot of loving care.
Along one of the highways in the area, I spotted a hawk down on the road. Someone needs to tell some adult Swainson's that they need to do a much better job of teaching their youngsters that it is so dangerous to hang out in the middle of the road like that. Not only are they on the road, but they don't move away to safety when a vehicle is coming! Fortunately, I missed this one, checking in my mirror that it was OK. I noticed that a sibling was standing on a hay bale in the field and I hung around until the one on the road flew up and away and landed on another hay bale. Silly bird. The very same thing had happened on 13 August, when I had to collect my car from High River Emergency Hospital, where it had been parked for two days after I had taken a taxi home, after getting 12 staples in the back of my head! The hawk on a different back road also was determined to not move from the road to safety.
So, a very long, tiring day, in wildfire smoke, and now I am staying home for the weekend. Next time I go for a drive, it will have to be a short one.
It's that time of year when the leaves are trying to hold on to that last glimpse life but they are 'fading' fast...fortunately for those of us that enjoy colors (photographers really do!), the green 'fading' into yellow, orange, and red makes for a beautiful time of the year. Get out and enjoy the last glimpses of Autumn...

While my camera gear has been away to the repairer, which should be back this week, I have had a chance to play around with some of my images on the computer creating some interesting effects using Photoshop.
Using texture layers and various blending modes this faded old photo effect is something I,ve enjoyed creating.
My good Flickr friend Roberta uses these texture effects for some of her images and she has some great results. Please check this link to see some of her great work.

For anyone who is interested, the textures can be downloaded from a great Website created by Jerry Jones. Follow this link to check them out.

For me the beauty is still there, even though its past its prime. The texture. Absolutely no editing, this is straight out of the little Fuji as jpeg. Didn't bother with RAW .
