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
40 x 60
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.

Santa Fe 5581 leads a well powered eastbound train through the world famous "Tehachapi Loop" at Walong, California.
From Wikipedia: "The Tehachapi Loop is a 3,779-foot-long (0.72 mi; 1.15 km) spiral, or helix, on the Union Pacific Railroad Mojave Subdivision through Tehachapi Pass, of the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County, south-central California. The line connects Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley to Mojave in the Mojave Desert.
Rising at a steady two-percent grade, the track gains 77 feet (23 m) in elevation and makes a 1,210-foot-diameter (370 m) circle. Any train that is more than 3,800 feet (1,200 m) long — about 56 boxcars — passes over itself going around the loop. At the bottom of the loop, the track passes through Tunnel 9, the ninth tunnel built as the railroad was extended from Bakersfield."
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.

A Kansas City Power & Light coal train glides through the photogenic loops at Crater, Colorado. The train will load at the Twentymile (Foidel Creek) mine on the 13-mile Energy Spur.
Twentymile claimed to be the most efficient underground coal mine in the world, producing the highest output per man-year.
"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."

Cygnus Loop is the remains of a massive star explosion - a supernova. It is located about 1440 light years from Earth and consists of several smaller nebulae, among others: Veil, Pickering's Triangle and ... Witch's broom.

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"

Some of the light sources here are a lit candle and a small flashlight with a colored filter.

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.
A sight not to be seen again saw THNSW 4501 leading veteran 1950’s SSR bulldogs B61, GM22 and GM27 on SSR ballast train 9240 from Bombo to Thirlmere for the loop line upgrades - 20/7/2023
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.
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..
