Collecting slides over the last 2.5 years or so has been an unexpectedly rewarding project. It has provided me with so much extra knowledge for my interest in local operations and for my model railroading, it has allowed me to revisit old memories, and it's just been really great.
I recently had another chance to revisit an event I never forgot about;
On Saturday August 10th 2002, I was in Brunswick with my grandma and grandpa watching trains that evening. We got a pizza and tailgated in the parking lot. I had just turned 14 and Brunswick was like a railfan mecca to me.
Towards the end of the evening, maybe around 930pm, a set of three engines consisting of a CSX C30-7, an exCR C36-7, and exCR SD60I #8750 backed out from the yard, across Maple Ave, and tied onto a set of orange ballast cars that had been sitting under the over pass. I think the cars had been sitting on either track 34 or the runaround. Shortly after, the CPL dwarf showed a medium clear from 4-runner to number two, and the ballast train pulled out of Brunswick. I remember seeing the glow inside the cab of 8750 from the computer screens. I want to say they called themselves W055 on the radio.
My grandmother (of all people) said "I bet we can beat them to Washington Grove" (near there house, where the train would pass eventually). Both myself and my grandpa told her there is no way we would beat the train; the trackage had a much shorter distance to cover to get to Washington Grove than we did. We'd be taking 340 out of Brunswick all the way to Frederick to meet I-270 south. Then we'd have to exit, and take some local streets to finally be trackside.
My grandmother, her lead foot, and us in tow flew down the highway in their 2000 Town and Country van. I had my scanner still on, but we were too far from the tracks to hear the train calling signals.
We crossed the grade crossing at Washington Grove, and sure enough there was a clear on #2 track at the Derwood Dip signal. By the time we turned into the gravel lot at the MARC station, the gates were going down behind us, and the bright lights of the eastbound were ripping into view in front of us. I remember throwing open my door as the train screamed by at track speed or close to it.
My grandmother was delighted in asserting her victory over beating the train from Brunswick to Washington Grove that night. We all had a good time, and she still talks about it to this day.
Fast forward almost 20 years to the day later, and I find a slide of that exact same train from the next day, Sunday 8-11-02. The train is seen tied down at Doswell Va on #4 track in the yard. The train was likely empty or mostly empty, and is staging at Doswell until a C&O crew would take it over the Piedmont Sub to Verdon for another load of ballast. My jaw hit the floor when I saw this slide while scrolling on ebay. Once again as life came full circle for me, I saw this slide while sitting on my own freight train stopped at the signal in Bayview. Dreams do come true I guess.
Objectively, the slide is nothing special; the train is stopped, headlights off....far track side, bottom of the wheels cut off....a little wonky on the composition...but to me, it's now one of my favorite slides.

O Castelinho Caracol, uma das primeiras residências do município de Canela, foi construído no inicio do Séc.XX, entre 1913 e 1915, por Pedro Carlos Franzen casado com Luiza Sommer. O casal teve seis filhos: Fernando, Alfredo, Cora e Ivone nascidos no Caracol , Irene a mais velha, que permaneceu no Castelinho e Anita, ambas nascidas em Sesmaria Machado.
A residência foi construída em madeira de araucária, pinheiro típico da região com sistema de encaixes e parafusos, sem o uso de pregos. A madeira recebeu um tratamento de imersão, durante 6 meses, na água do Arroio Caracol; tratamento biológico para, após, ser serrada e seca naturalmente, na sombra, para se tornar duradoura.
Depois disto foi trabalhada, cortada de acordo a servir a construção da residência, em forma de um pequeno Castelo. Com dezoito ambientes, no primeiro pavimento encontram-se quartos, sala de jantar, sala de música, o banheiro e a cozinha. No segundo pavimento o destaque fica para o quarto de costura, onde as filhas de Pedro e Luiza Franzem faziam os vestidos, costuravam as capas das cobertas de pena. As penas para a confecção de travesseiros e cobertas secavam na torre, também no pavimento superior, onde se tem uma vista de 180º para o vasto verde do entorno. O Castelinho Caracol, preserva móveis e utensílios da época de seus moradores, as paredes intactas, mesmo com o passar do tempo -quase um século!- mostram que a construção é resultado de técnica, conhecimento e beleza.

The Castelinho Caracol, one of the first residences in the Town of Canela, was built in the beginning of the 20th Century, between the years of 1913 and 1915, by Pedro Carlos Franzen who was married to Luiza Sommer. The couple had six children. Fernando, Alfredo, Cora and Ivone were born in Caracol. Irene, the eldest and the one who stayed at the Castelinho, and Anita were born in Sesmaria Machado.
The residence was built with araucaria wood, a typical pine of the region, with a system of fitted wood boards and screws, without the use of nails. Before its use, the wood received a biological treatment. First it was immersed in the waters of the Arroio Caracol - Caracol Creek- during six months. After that, it was sawn and dried in the shadow in order to last longer. Then, the wood was worked on and cut according to the shape needed to build a little castle.
The little castle has eighteen rooms. On the first floor are the bedrooms, the dining room, the music room, the bathroom and the kitchen. On the second floor the highlight is the sewing room, where the couple’s daughters used to make dresses and to sew covers for the feathers duvets. The feathers for the making of pillows and duvets were dried in the tower, which was also on the second floor, from where you can have a 180 degrees view to the vast green surroundings. The Castelinho Caracol preserves the furniture and utensils used by that time. The walls are intact and show, after almost a century, that the construction was the result of technique, knowledge and beauty.

Knowledge, like water, is vital to life. In this work, a continuous stream of water connects the two figures. The water is symbolic of the passing of knowledge from generation to generation.This embodies the Rotarians' hope that the values cultivated by the 4-Way test will continue to be a guiding principle in human relations in our future generations.
4-Way Test
of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to All CONCERNED?
3. Will it Build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP?
4.Will it be BENEFICIAL to ALL CONCERNED?

This is the Victoria Street façade of the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, also known as the St. Michael's Hospital research building. The puffy clouds seemed like they would work well with the reflective glass. I converted this to B&W and then used a blue tint to it.
The artiest of Rickshaw's are mostly without any academic knowledge,even though they are God gifted talented on earth and they are surviving with their experience too.

On my way out from the Utah Strobist event, I had to take a moment and capture a quick wide view of the SLC library atrium. I really need to come back to this building and give it some time to capture at various angles. It is really an architectural beauty.

47776 'Respected' is captured at Hunt's Lock, along the Weaver navigation at Northwich working 5K44 Manchester Piccadilly - Crewe empty coaching stock which, instead of working direct to Crewe took a round about route via the Mid Cheshire line and reversal at Chester. I can only think to maintain driver route knowledge?
Tug 'Clifton', operated by KD Marine UK and was working on the river with hopper barges Halton & Sutton. One of which can just about be seen in the big lock behind.
this is all the stuff i had to study last year at university.
i passed everything :D when i look at this, i can't believe it.. lol
and i started my second year today.. uhhhh.

This is the last picture that I shot during my London workshops, and it was in collaboration with Jen Brook, a passionate model who is asking photographers to turn her dreams into reality with her Dreamcatcher Project.

Task 1 (sketch in 2 minutes): I totally miscalculated the time and thought I had plenty of time and knowledge (having seen Liz draw the building) to look and draw details instead of focusing on the main structure and windows first. Because it looked so unfinished after the 2 minutes, I added the important parts with pencil.
Task 2 (more detailed sketch using the 7 steps): Great fun thinking about the steps even though I have to admit that I forgot about them half way through the sketch, but then noticing, that I had applied that sequence anyway.
Europe, The Netherlands, Overijssel, Hengelo, Tuindorp, ROC van Twente (uncut)
The city of Hengelo is often called the 'metal city' because of its industrial facilities. The former foundry (ijzergieterij) of the Stork factory is shown here. It was constructed in 1902 and later was used for the maintenance of industrial appliances.
It served this purpose until the end of the 90s and was redeveloped into a school for professional education (ROC Twente) in 2009 by Harry Abels (IAA Architecten) and restoration architect Maarten Fritz (Architectenbureau Fritz).
Like we mostly do, we asked permission to enter. After gaining it (‘OK, but please leave after 5 minutes’), we walked into the astounding redeveloped industrial space. And met a security crew that looked at us somewhat dubiously. Time for a chat: ‘You’re out in force in today’ (there were 4 of them). ‘We’re here because of Corona’, and they told that they were astonished by the number of tourists that have started to visit the facility. ‘This is no tourist attraction’. ‘But you are !” and smiling I showed them a new leaflet ('Tuindorp-route') of the municipal tourist office (VVV) in which the building, its history, and architecture are featured.
We talked some more, and one of the guards told us that she knows the building well - her father had worked there, and during a holiday she had worked there too, as a temp.

A closed shop-front (знання translates as 'knowledge') in Chernivtsi, Western Ukraine.
Named for the black ("cherny") oaken walls which surrounded the city until they were destroyed by the Mongol invasion of 1259, Chernivtsi has historically been a major cultural and education centre, and sits close to the Romanian and Moldovan borders. Like many parts of Western Ukraine, the city has been part of various nations and empires over the years, belonging to the Kingdom of Moldovia, the Austrian Empire, the Romanian empire, before becoming part of the Soviet states and finally independent Ukraine. The city is nicknamed "Little Vienna," because its architecture is reminiscent of the Austro-Hungarian capital.
