At the time this was photographed in 2015, the C40-8 standard cabs were on borrowed time. Many of them looked like this one leading 33K at Bound Brook.
Texas Photo Festival 2010, Smithville, TX
Continuing with the theme of downtown Smithville, here is an image of a faded advertisement from long ago. I was drawn by the layers of painted signs. The light and shadows that forms a star pattern occurred naturally.
Another time it might have been so different
Oh if only we could do it all again
But now, it's just another fading memory
Out of focus, though the outline still remains
So far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives,
So remember...
Like the story that we wish was never ending
We know sometime we must reach that final page
And still we carry on just pretending
That there'll always be just one more day to go
So far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives
So remember...
Another chance hello, another goodbye
And so many things we'll never see again
Oh, The days of life that seemed so unimportant
They seem to matter now, but to count much later on
So far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives
Remember
For this week's Get Pushed!! challenge, I was paired with the incredibly talented jayneboo, who is a gifted nature photographer and doesn't back down from a challenge, either! I hope you'll take a moment to look over her photos - they're quite breathtaking!
In return, Jayneboo issued a choice of two challenges to me. The first was to explore my hometown and create a photo postcard to show it off. Sadly, we were soon hit with a freakish October snowstorm that dumped anywhere from 4 to 18 inches of heavy wet snow on Connecticut. Not only was most everything I'd consider scenic and photogenic now covered with snow, but it was downright treacherous getting out!
Good thing I was offered a backup choice, which went something like this: "Think of your favorite film, TV series or book title and show us what it is - with no hints or tips - leaving it to all members of the group to work it out. I am banning Little House on the Prairie - too easy for you I think!"
So, with a challenge worded that way, I'm really not at liberty to provide much in the way of commentary on this week's photo. Enjoy!
**Edit / Update**
It took a little while, but my challenger herself (Jayneboo) as well as Hickamore Hackamore actually guessed correctly what we were working at with this photo. The sense of loss in this photo plays out many times in The Time Traveler's Wife and I wanted to try to convey that sense of disappearance. I could conceive of two ways to accomplish this: photoshop or multiple exposure. Since my skills in photoshop (or GIMP) are fledgling at best, I opted for the second method. However, the camera isn't capable of it. "Hmm. I got it!" I picked up a party store strobe light and set it to the slowest setting it had and left the shutter open for a couple seconds, half the time with my hand in Mrs SmileMoon's hands, then quickly jerking it out of the frame before the next strobe flash went off. She was very patient with me. :-)
This tattered and faded Monarch butterfly was still sipping from milkweed flowers and laying eggs, although she is certainly in her last days.
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a backdrop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long

I think I love them just as much as they start to fade. Every year, their appearance just makes me so happy. Growing tulips in the desert isn't the easiest thing but most years, we manage to make it work. PA - routine. I am out every morning looking to see what is new in the garden. I couldn't believe my tulips started to bloom before I got home from our trip.
Bodie, California.
The Bodie cemetery with the ghost town and gold ore processing mill in the background. Bodie had such a bad reputation for its climate, working conditions and rowdy inhabitants that one girl wrote in her diary upon learning of her family's decision to move there: "Good-bye God, I'm going to Bodie." Bodie's population peaked at 10,000 in the year of 1880 and declined to 30 by 1921 as the veins of gold ore played out.

Five minutes later......and as the sun edges closer to the horizon the pinks give way to an orange glow.
Enjoy the end of the week. Back to work in the am....so catch up later. Cheers D&J.
New to Trent Motor Traction in 1966 as fleetnumber 484 was this Daimler Fleetline CRG6LX with Alexander H44/33F bodywork registered HRC 484D.
It is seen at the Dalry depot of Paterson & Brown, Kilbirnie around 1983.

Something I haven't focused on for decades; growing flowers. And, having grown them, bringing them inside to brighten my home. And then, of course, photographing them as they catch the sun, as they fade and die, as they are renewed from the goodness of the garden.

1. I am travelling with my family right now, to visit relatives overseas.
2. I can now say I know what pot smells like, having walked the streets the Amsterdam it's impossible not to.
3. I stayed with relatives in a tiny village up a mountain, and it was the most wonderful experience.
4. In 3 weeks I've managed to fill my entire computer, even though it was empty when I left. Thousands and thousands of photos, oops.
5. I do miss my ocean.
6. I saw fireflies for the first time in Italy, and I felt like a small child I was so excited. They're magic, like fairies. We collected some in a jar and I took photos.
7. Cadbury chocolate tastes better here, and I plan to stock up on jelly tots.
8. I went to Alton Towers (theme park) today, and went on all the rides that I know I shouldn't have with my body. It was awesome!
9. I collect bracelets from everywhere I visit.
10. I am in love with my new camera, and my 50mm 1.4. I'd marry it if I could.
an extra, 11. I feel guilty that I've been a bad contact and haven't kept up with everyone's streams because I've rarely had internet access
Still doing the 50mm thing. Had a family dinner last night, got another good shot of my brother and his fiancé posing for me that I liked enough to upload.
Note: Don't usually do these types of pictures with the faded color or with just a splash of one color since I think it looks rather bad. But this is what was requested again, so here you are.
Shot with available "light", it was rather dark in the restaurant. An iPhone was used as a distraction/lightsource.
Day 35: Faded Hyacinth flowers - rather pretty in their curled back sadness!

(also day 343/365 of the 365 project I started in February 2010)
Faded Coca-Cola ad on the side of a brick commercial building at 100 S. Mildred Street in Ranson, West Virginia at the corner of Mildred and W 6th Avenue. You can see they lowered the windows, effacing part of the ad.
