Bromo is an exotic place not only in its landscape, but also on the society and its culture.
I find something unique there, namely a horse ride a mohawk-style hair cut!
The leased horses for those who are not strong or lazy to walk to the crater of Bromo.
Yeah...this is my poodle Rylie. He weighs 4 pounds. I thought I'd change him up a bit and gave him a mohawk. My family loves it. They think he looks "tough" now! LOL!
P.S. No animal was injured or abused in the making of this photo. All scars, stitches, horns (which are really supposed to be fangs, but I turned them upside down) and wounds were provided by Picnik's Special Halloween Effects. So were the moon, bat, lightening, spider and scary font.
Happy ALMOST Halloween, everyone!
I spent a couple of days this weekend visiting my mom in Elkhart, IN along with my brother Paul Horst from Oklahoma. While we were there we visited the National New York Central Railroad Museum. In the 1880's our great grandfather A. R. Miller decided to go west like so many others during that time. While on a temporary stop-over in Elkhart, IN, he decided to go no further and settled there. For a while he was employed by the New York Central Railroad working at the turntable and roundhouse servicing and turning locomotives, preparing them for their return to New York. Paul and I hanging out on NYC Mohawk 3001.

My 2nd attempt at a high key photo. Like the results! His eyes just pop off the photo!
I about died when I saw that BOTH of my son's had mohawks after my father-in-law took them to get their haircuts. This was NOT supposed to happen!!!! Actually they both loved it at least for the day. Then then next afternoon, they came home from the mother-in-law's completely BALD!!! Then I loved the mohawks. ;0)

Here is another frame from a spectacular day and here was the caption that went with it:
Whatever else 2020 was...and it was a lot of things...it was a really good year for railfan photography. Turns out that trains are an essential business and foaming is a good safe solitary socially distanced outside activity so I indulged myself this year. And the railroads didn't disappoint particularly in New England and the northeast where it seemed every other day there was a special move, rare power, classic consists, or just something to keep it interesting and fun.
And in keeping with that trend for the last day of the year the Canadian Pacific served up this southbound 650 unit ethanol train on the old Delaware and Hudson. When I got word Thursday night that this consist was eastbound across Ontario I figured it was worth trying. So after a quiet night at the railroad I struck out from Boston a little early Friday morning and headed for Lake Champlain. I intercepted them at Port Henry for the start of a 115 mile chase south to Kenwood Yard.
Leading the train is CP 6232 a standard cab EMD SD60 blt. Mar. 1989 as SOO Line 6032. And if that wasn't enough she was trailed by two more modern strangers to these parts in Southern Belle livery: KCS de Mexico EMD SD70ACE 4132 blt. Sep. 2012 as an EMDX demonstrator and KCS 4584 a GE AC4400CW blt. Nov. 1999.
After leaving Mechanicville this was my last stop before they arrived at their final terminal and the absolute highlight of the Colonie Sub. This would have been utterly spectacular in sun but is still cool even on this gray day as the wild trio is seen nosing out on to the nearly 1100 ft long lattice Warren truss deck bridge over the Mohawk River just below Cohoes Falls from the town of Waterford into Cohoes. This is about MP 9.5 on CP's Colonie Sub, the one time Delaware and Hudson Saratoga Sub mainline.

"Mohawk Warrior" (2008) by Gerry Embleton on display in the Fort Ticonderoga museum.
Fort Ticonderoga, formerly Fort Carillon, is a large 18th-century star fort built by the French at a narrows near the south end of Lake Champlain in northern New York in the United States. It was constructed by Canadian-born French military engineer Michel Chartier de Lotbinière, Marquis de Lotbinière between October 1755 and 1757 during the Seven Years' War, often referred to as the French and Indian War in the US. It was of strategic importance during the 18th-century colonial conflicts between Great Britain and France, and again played an important role during the American Revolutionary War.
The site controlled a river portage alongside the mouth of the rapids-infested La Chute River in the 3.5 miles (5.6 km) between Lake Champlain and Lake George and was strategically placed in conflicts over trade routes between the British-controlled Hudson River Valley and the French-controlled Saint Lawrence River Valley. The terrain amplified the importance of the site. Both lakes were long and narrow, oriented north–south, as were the many ridge lines of the Appalachian Mountains extending as far south as Georgia, creating the near-impassable mountainous terrains to the east and west of the Great Appalachian Valley that the site commanded. The name "Ticonderoga" comes from the Iroquois word tekontaró:ken, meaning "it is at the junction of two waterways".
During the 1758 Battle of Carillon, 4,000 French defenders were able to repel an attack by 16,000 British troops near the fort. In 1759, the British returned and drove a token French garrison from the fort merely by occupying high ground that threatened the fort. During the American Revolutionary War, the fort again saw action in May 1775 when the Green Mountain Boys and other state militia under the command of Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold captured it in a surprise attack. Cannons captured were transported to Boston where their deployment forced the British to abandon the city in March 1776. The Americans held the fort until June 1777, when British forces under General John Burgoyne again occupied high ground above it and threatened the Continental Army troops, leading them to withdraw from the fort and its surrounding defenses. The only direct attack on the fort took place in September 1777, when John Brown led 500 Americans in an unsuccessful attempt to capture the fort from about 100 British defenders.
The British abandoned the fort after the failure of the Saratoga campaign, and it ceased to be of military value after 1781. It fell into ruin, leading people to strip it of some of its usable stone, metal, and woodwork. It became a stop on tourist routes of the area in the 19th century. Its private owners restored the fort early in the 20th century. A foundation now operates the fort as a tourist attraction, museum, and research center.
The Mohawk Theater in North Adams has been seen here in 2014 and 2019 but never from this angle. The theater has been closed since 1991. It is owned by the city of North Adams which was trying to sell it a couple of years ago. The city secured funding last year to refurbish the marquee but that story is behind a paywall and I can't find any follow-up information.

Mohawk Falls, Ricketts Glen SP, PA.
Some 37 feet high Mohawk Falls are at the top of the Ganoga Glen. In early May it was noticeably less green than lower down the valley
2009 Chevrolet C-3500 HD 4x4 chassis w/ a Wheeled Coach type I box.
The home for this vehicle, varies by year (for the NYRA season), and the needs of the company (for the off-season).
This vehicle, for those who follow thoroughbred racing, is one of the ambulances that chases the horses during the meet at the Saratoga Race Track each year.
