Naast een zwaar sneltramnet is er in Portland (Oregon) ook een stadstramnet waarop lagevloertrams rijden. Net als de sneltram wordt de Willamette-rivier op meerdere plaatsen gekruist. Hier zien we lagevloertram 021 op de Broadway Bridge. De stalen bascule brug stamt uit 1913. Vanaf de opening van de brug tot 1940 maakte ook het oude tramdrijf van Portland gebruik van deze rivierkruising. Sinds 2012 rijdt de nieuwe ringlijn van Portland weer over de Broadway Bridge.
De lagevloertram is in de Verenigde Staten bij United Streetcar gebouwd en is gebaseerd op de Tsjechische lagevloertrams van Skoda en Inekon waarvan ook exemplaren in Portland rijden. Bijna alle wagens dragen een andere kleur. Bovendien zijn de zijwanden en koppen in complementaire kleuren geschilderd. Als een wagen de hoek omgaat en de andere zijwand zichtbaar wordt lijkt het of de tram volledig van kleur verschiet. Dat maakt dat de "streetcar" in Portland een kleurrijk beeld geeft.
Meer trams bij op en onder bruggen en viaducten vindt u in de set "Bij de brug".

Photography show opening tonight at the Flower of Life Art Gallery in Lockport from 6-9. I have three pieces in the show. Here is the first one:
Chicagoan Loop
Photography – Glossy

Chicagoan Loop is a portrait of the people out and about in the downtown Loop district in Chicago. The title also hints that the people themselves are on somewhat of a loop: any day you venture out among them, you will always see people of every race, orientation, gender and religion. You will see people in costume, being peaceful protestors, celebrating at a rally, out for errands or to meet for lunch. We are all different and all individuals and in that way – we are all celebrated as being human beings. This collage portrait of the people of Chicago is comprised of 1,014 individual portraits.
A short eastbound manifest traverses the huge curved basallt fill bridging the gap between the western and eastern slopes of Lynch Coulee, in central Washington State. This track alignment is much better known and described as the 'Trinidad loop'.
This fill was constructed by the Great Northern in 1902 as part of a project to ease some of the tighter curves in the area, and replace a curved wooden trestle further south down the coulee. While some of the more sinuous trackage to the east was replaced, the ten degree curve over the fill remains a permanent speed restriction to this day. This track is part of the twelve mile stretch of 1% eastward grade up Trinidad Hill that begins at MP 1633 of BNSF's Columbia River Subdivision.
If this were the 1990's, I could assume the short manifest train of three bay grain hoppers and two bay covered hoppers separated by a few LPG tanks was the lowly #600 from Everett to Spokane. Today I'm not so sure. Either way, I was pleased to find anything rolling during daylight hours on the now sparsely used ex-GN mainline across Washington State.
Continuing with pictures taken around Tehachapi on January 11, 1997 here is a Trona-bound coal train led by 3 SP AC44CW's circling up the loop at Walong.

I had some time after meetings on this autumn day in the late afternoon to drive the famous Alpine Loop in Utah. The 17-mile drive is known for its bright autumn leaves, which start to appear in September, but tend to be at their best in October and into November--depending on the weather, of course.
"The line_up is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The“liners” are made out of paper (Din A3),
oil paint and graphite, the theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers."

Mount Pleasant streetcars from St Clair used to loop around here until the city ripped out the tracks in the 1970's. The more you know...
This is an interesting spot on the Nebo Loop Road called the Devil's Kitchen. People refer to it as a mini-Bryce Canyon. Erosion has created a series of pillars in the red soil that do not appear anywhere else nearby. Some fascinating geology.

Kinetic Photograph made with one single long exposure shot, printed straight out of camera.
If you’d like to read more details about how the shot is made see below. And for more of my kinetic photographs here’s my set, "Drawing with Light"

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

This is the famous loop of the river Saar near Mettlach, Germany.
It was a beautiful quiet morning and an amazing experience to see the sun rising and illuminating the fog flowing through the loop.

Marina City, affectionately known as "the corn cob", is a mixed-use residential-commercial building complex in Chicago, Illinois, United States, North America, designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg. The multi-building complex opened between 1963 and 1967 and occupies almost an entire city block on State Street on the north bank of the Chicago River on the Near North Side, directly across from the Loop. Portions of the complex were designated a Chicago Landmark in 2016.
The complex consists of two 587-foot (179 m), 65-story apartment towers, opened in 1963, which include physical plant penthouses. It also includes a 10-story office building (now a hotel) opened in 1964, and a saddle-shaped auditorium building originally used as a cinema. The four buildings, access driveways, and a small plaza that originally included an ice rink are built on a raised platform next to the Chicago River. Beneath the platform, at river level, is a small marina for pleasure craft, giving the structures their name.
