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...

I pray I never miss an autumn season in the San Juan Mountains. It's my favorite season.

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.
The Tehachapi Loop is a unique track spiral on the Union Pacific Railroad that runs over Tehachapi Pass in the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County. The track connects the city of Bakersfield to the town of Mojave in the Mojave Desert, with a track length of approximately 45 kilometers with an elevation difference of about 1,000 meters. On the loop itself, the track crosses over itself, thereby reducing its gradient. The spiral is 23 meters high and the gradient of the track is a constant 20 per mile. The diameter of the spiral is approximately 350–370 meters. 18 tunnels and 10 bridges were built along the entire line. At the bottom of the spiral, the track passes through tunnel number nine, the numbering of which is from Bakersfield. The side track in the spiral is known as Walong, which was named after the trackmaster W. A. Long. In the middle of the loop, we can see a large white cross standing on top of a hill, which was built in memory of two Southern Pacific Railroad employees who died on May 12, 1989 in a train derailment. In the image shown, we can see the pair of locomotives AC44CW.6316+5525 at the head of a train combination of several hundred cars on September 26, 2025.
This spun up like a dream, rather thin! In 3oz, I got 497 yards! There is still some left on the bobbin, so I may navajo ply the rest of it or spin a small bit in two-ply for swatching.
Not sure yet what project I should use it with, but 26wpi, it definitely should be lace.
Thanks to an invite from Karma Groovy I found myself on a cold but mostly sunny Winter day on Boyd Loop Road in Wasco County, Oregon OM17793
The Huckleberry is laid out wonderfully from the viewpoints of photographers and model railroaders alike. Here Mudhen 464 is looping to make a return to Crossroads Village. A Lerro Productions photo charter.
This is the yarn I spun from Loops March batt of the month club. I added a few snippets of novelty yarn from my scrapbooking stash.. and Steph sent a little bag of sequins to spin into the yarn! Yay more sparkles!!
I LOVE how it turned out!! The colors are just amazing.. it sparkles like crazy and the shredded money is just cool looking!!
I think I'm going to crochet this into a large pashmina sized shawl with a medium brown corrie as trim and fringe.. and this as the middle and fringe. I think it'll look super sweet!!
Steph is so amazing.. I can't wait to see what April brings..
Everglades Florida, noch ruhen die Zypressen doch im März, April zeigen sie sich wieder im neuen Grün.
I knit my batt up right away and made this really awesome Twisted scarf from "Knitting New Scarves" by Lynne Barr. The construction was really fun to knit on US 10.5 needles.
TPE Class 68 No. 68032 Destroyer leaves the passing loop at Earles Sidings with 5Q32, the 12:13 Gascoigne Wood – Longsight TMD ECS working on 20th March 2023. Freightliner Class 66/5 No. 66507 sits stabled in the background.

Look closely - that random assortment of detritus on top of the grey headed coneflower is a camouflaged looper caterpillar who has decorated himself to escape detection! They glue bits of plant to their bodies with their own spit as they munch along, changing pieces when the colors of their surroundings change as they move from flower to flower. Utterly amazing!
Freightliner class 70/0 no. 70016 pilots class 66/9 no. 66955 past Copmanthorpe on 9th July 2022, heading a Branch Line Society charter 'The Lackenby Looper'. DB class 66 no. 66010 was on the rear. Following a delayed departure from Doncaster, the special ran main line to York instead of via Selby Canal & West Junctions. Using the York avoiding line, the train went forward to Tees Yard and was due to visit several freight locations including BSC Lackenby and Redcar Bulk Terminal.
