On a recent stop in Winthrop Washington there were several early 1930s vehicles parked in various areas of town. After some newer parked cars left, this antique Ford was left alone in front of these store, creating what appears to be a 1930s scene. Winthrop dates back to the late 1800s and is home to the oldest legal saloon in Washington state. The saloon was built in 1891 and is now Winthrop's Town Hall.

 

I have a little more information about Winthrop in the link below.

"An antique is anything old with class."

When I found this quotation, my first thought was, "I fit the description!" Then I realized I had the perfect image in mind ...hence this posting.

 

Antique perfume bottles have the most interesting shapes within the body of the container. Here's to holding on to family treasures.

In the drop-forge / old blacksmith shop Hendrichs, Solingen, Germany, there were garage rooms to rent in former times for various handcrafters. Here are the (maybe copper?) fittings of the common "Waschkaue" (washing room). Its part of a museum today.

 

Alte Armaturen der Waschkaue der Gesenkschmiede Hendrichs in Solingen. In früheren Zeiten konnte man bei Hendrichs diverse Werkstatträume mieten, insbesondere für metallverarbeitende Handwerker. Hier zu sehen sind die Armaturen des gemeinsamen Waschraums. Heute ist dieser Raum Teil des Museums.

Noch nie war der Titel passender wie dieses Jahr.

Ich wünsche euch trotz Lockdown, allen frohe Weihnachten und schöne Feiertage.

  

Silent Night Holy Night!

 

The title has never been more fitting than this year.

Despite lockdown, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

I haven't gotten out much this year. Fitting that my first good train of the year involves a railroad that died just 2 weeks ago.

 

A friend at Shermer saw this completely by accident at 5:30 AM. It's only fitting that I didn't see his texts until I woke up at 7, right when it was going by Racine. Fortunately, CP dispatch had to hold it at KK for 332. A quick 5 minute wait at KK Bridge, and it was off to the cutoff to dump its train and begin its' work, only because 249 was taking up all the room on the Muskego lead.

 

Filialkirche Hl. Kreuz in Gebertsham -

"No one told me that

We would make it this far

When all I have to show

For it are these, scars

 

Can’t you feel all of my damn regret

I’ve been trying hard now to forget

Every time that I tried and failed in the past

Nothing will last

 

Never thought that I’d miss you

It was never part of the plan..."

Home away from home seemed like a fitting title since many people live on their sailboats on occasion. The sun was behind my left shoulder burning through the morning fog casting it's golden light on the hulls of these sailboats which were reflected off the amazingly calm water.

Continuing the unofficial Rock island theme I seem to have stumbled into...

 

In its short life, this railroad has already been captured from every possible angle above ground level. That being said, there was no way I was going to pass up a chance to grab my own shots; it's simply too far from home for my typical day trips. Thus, after a Thursday afternoon on the Fordyce & Princeton in Arkansas, I worked my way east to Cleveland, MS, and drove the remaining 45 minutes early the next morning.

 

The Mississippi Delta Railroad's two Rock-painted geeps sun themselves on a quiet Friday morning in Sumner, Mississippi. From the railroad's website: "The Mississippi Delta Railroad, MSDR, based in Sumner, MS, operates a total of 85 miles of track in Northwest MS from a connection with the Canadian National Railway at Swan Lake, MS." Unfortunately, the railroad didn't turn a wheel - except for a hi-rail truck - but it was worth a stop to get these while still clean and fresh. Just had to wait a couple hours for the shadows to recede a bit. Note NS (ex-SOU) MoW caboose #500000 behind the power, across the street.

 

A fitting end to my 2020 tour, because the first clouds I had seen all week started to roll in later in the morning and this was pretty much the end of it all.

A very fitting end to my mainline steam 2022. I hope in 2023 the rail strikes and cost of living crisis reseed and it will be a good year for mainline steam.

In the garden scene

It's so easy being green

Though not always seen

Here's part two of my flamingo shenanigans! Taken at Hades - Love Island.

The simplicity of this moment struck me as one worth capturing. A cloud sitting over a distant landmass, where the land might fit into the bottom of the cloud.

 

Sometimes a simple minimalist capture has the capacity to say more than the sum of its parts. Perhaps it is the very essence of the instant itself.

I've got several folders full of photos that have not yet made the flickr "cut". It's not that they're bad images or that they displease me. The problem is that at any given moment, they just don't seem to fit in. And for me, the concept of fitting in is a moving target. What fits today may not fit tomorrow. And when something finally does fit, it may be totally too late. Just like a witty comeback that does not occur until days after someone says something to you. For me it's often a seasonal issue involving, for example, winter photos that seem wholly out of place once spring arrives. I prefer my photostream reflects the current moment, at least visually in terms of time of year. It's one of many limitations I place upon publication of photos that fortunately has no impact on my creation of them.

 

This photo's moment finally arrived this morning. A sunset view of nascent winter wheat, barely three inches tall, but appearing to tower under a twilight sky. I love seeing the individuality of the thin stalks. They work together to provide a monolith of green when viewed from a distance. Yet up close, each one seems to express its own shape and character. As always, shooting scenes of vibrant color under diminished lighting appeals to my sense of understating the obvious aspect in favor of a lesser one. It's my way of fitting in.

By choice or accident, I'm not sure. But really nice all the same.

Today is the 9th day of Valentine's month of February, and it is fitting to share my gratitude for the love shown to me by my friends and to promote love and friendship for everyone. We all need and deserve friends.

Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything,

Muhammad Ali

 

The language of friendship is not words, but meanings. It is an intelligence above language

The most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you.

Will You Ever?

Kaitlyn M. Yawn

 

I don't think you will

Ever fully understand

How you've touched my life

And made me who I am.

 

I don't think you could ever know

Just how truly special you are,

That even on the darkest nights

You are my brightest star.

 

You've allowed me to experience

Something very hard to find,

Unconditional love that exists

In my body, soul, and mind.

 

I don't think you could ever feel

All the love I have to give,

And I'm sure you'll never realize

You've been my will to live.

 

You are an amazing person,

And without you I don't know where I'd be.

Having you in my life

Completes and fulfills every part of me.

OSR's matching pair of F units cross a lesser travelled dirt road on their way towards Tillsonburg. After just under 4 years of running the former Canada Air Line for CN, with bridge repairs needed along the line and the funds just not there to justify continuing service the once shortcut across Southern Ontario is now just a memory. Pictured is OSR's final run to Tillsonburg, going out in style, OSR fittingly paired their matching F units for the final run. The train returning back to St. Thomas would be the last time a train has crossed this crossing since.

United Kingdom, London, Battersea Powesr Station, Winter 2023.

 

Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Battersea, an inner-city district of South West London. It comprises two individual power stations, built in two stages in the form of a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s, with Battersea B Power Station to its east in the 1950s. The two stations were built to an identical design, providing the well known four-chimney layout. The station is the largest brick building in Europe and is notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. The station provided a fifth of London's electricity needs. The station ceased generating electricity in 1983, but over the past 50 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in London. The station's celebrity owes much to numerous cultural appearances, which include the cover art of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals where the station was photographed with a inflatable pink pig floating between the two front chimneys.

. . . And raise you a Sunflower!

 

It only seems fitting that the Sun and a Sunflower be together. The source of all of the Earth's energy manifests itself in everything, but especially Sunflowers!

 

Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

For improved visibility on level crossings, NS are fitting the class SNG EMUs with a yellow front. For now, the blue and yellow fronts can be seen together - in this case literally, as the leading unit has the blue front (mostly obscured by the overhead line portal and, of course, the other EMU) and the trailing one is yellow. The pair are on their way on a local service from Amsterdam Centraal to Amersfoort Vathorst. Soest, 05-09-2021.

Fitting...I have to put my attention today on what seems like 1,000 different things at once.
