It's 20 degrees on the first day of spring in VT. (lots of snow and more on the way). However, we remain hopeful. A little humor.
Fog and steam from generator cars make for photo fun at the Great Northern Depot in Minneapolis on Nov. 19, 1977. The blue flag has been pulled from the Empire Builder behind F40PHR's after an overnight trip from Chicago; it will head west to Willmar. On the other track is the Arrowhead getting ready to depart for Duluth behind an SDP40F. If you stood here today you would be in parking lot looking at the Federal Reserve Bank, no trace of the depot remains.
I had some great days in the Italian Dolomites back in September where I enjoyed and captured lots of beautiful moments.
This beautiful view over the mountain valley at the little township Funes, also known as Val di Funes or Villnöss, might be one of the most beautiful views in the dolomites. The Odle/Geisler mountains with their prominent peaks are the famous landmark here. I’ve experienced and captured a beautiful alpenglow on these amazing peaks during sunset while the last light of the day was shining into the gorgeous green valley.

Young ladies having fun on the boat on the Canal St Martin
Construction of the canal was ordered by Napoleon I in 1802, in order to create an artificial waterway for supplying Paris with fresh water to support a growing population and to help avoid diseases such as dysentery and cholera.
Gaspard de Chabrol, prefect of Paris, proposed to build a canal from the river Ourcq (starting 100 km northeast of Paris). The canal was dug from 1802 to 1825, funded by a new tax on wine. The canal was also used to supply Paris with food (grain), building materials, and other goods, carried on canal boats. Two ports were created in Paris on the canal to unload boats: Port de l'Arsenal and Bassin de la Villette.
By the 1960s, traffic had dwindled to a trickle and the canal narrowly escaped being filled in and paved over for a highway. Today, the canal is covered from Rue du Faubourg du Temple to the Place de la Bastille.
In late December 2006, 350 tents were put on the Canal Saint-Martin by the NGO Les Enfants de Don Quichotte, in support of the "right to lodging" (Droit
au logement
). The NGO invited well-lodged people to sleep a night in the tent, alongside homeless people. The NGO Médecins du monde (MDM) had taken the initiative, in 2005, to give tents to all homeless people in Paris, in order to provide them with minimal privacy and to make misery visible. But the prefecture of police, under orders of Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, was progressively expelling homeless people camping in Paris. Thus, the Enfants de Don Quichotte's action attracted attention to this expulsion. In the context of the 2007 presidential election, Jacques Chirac announced that the "opposable right to lodging" would be enacted into law before the end of his term.
Happy Monochrome Monday! I took this cliche shot of our youngest son pretending to climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Took sbout a dozen snaps to get one close. It would have been easier to photosho it! :-)
