I just love walking around the back streets and alleyways of small towns. I enjoy old worn and weathered surfaces and things that are a little dilapidated or shabby. Towns like this often times don’t have the resources of larger more progressive towns to keep everything looking new. Some towns are absolutely anal about appearances and are far too boring because of that for photographers looking for photogenic subjects. Even big cities can display this contrast between new and old surfaces. The so called rust belt cities like Detroit and Cleveland are an absolute treasure trove for our hobby. I have often wondered why the city officials fail to see what an asset they really have on their hands and cash in on it with photo tourism. They could promote five day getaways with tours of the old abandoned mills and factories specifically oriented towards photography. Make it safe and provide amenities suitable for the comfort of the tourists and you would put other venues out of business. Preserve it as it is as a permanent historic theme park of our nation’s heritage. Oh my. I must be crazy.
One partner has been at the nest since the end of February. The other partner arrived this week. They started nest maintenance imediately, there was even time for family planning!

There is an army of workers employed to keep the temple sites at Ayutthaya maintained. If left to their own devices the tropical climate would soon be covered in vegetation

Working in the sun for extended periods is no joke and many Thai manual workers dress up with their skin completely covered to make sure they don't burn. It looked a little extreme at first but is probably very sensible
One year ago today, as I upload this. The fireman of 'JS' 2-8-2 No.8081 of the Sandaoling Mining Railway was attempting to plug a steam leak in the cylinder gland of his ailing locomotive at Xuanmeichang Washery on 20th January 2016. It really did seem like a 'make do and mend' operation, with no back-up heavy maintenance facilities to call upon, rather akin to the final days of steam on BR. The long journey back home after this day's photographic session had a great bearing on my calling it a day on photographing steam in China, even though sights such as this I imagine are still just possible as I write this.The thought of making a long return journey to north west China, only to find the steam railway operation no longer in operation is just too much of a risk to contemplate!

Amtrak GP38-3 720 rests at Wilmington, still wearing Amtrak's grey livery. Originally a Clinchfield GP38, this engine is a world away from the Appalachian coal fields for which it was built. (Taken on railroad property during a guided tour.)

I was finally able to get out and take some much needed photos. I noticed this guy climbing on top of the Uptown Theater. I've always wanted to go up there and take photos. It started to rain but that was OK because the Twins home opener was on the tube. Twins won 7-4 over the Orioles.
