I had a brilliant day yesterday . It started with a cycle down to the coast on a perfect morning. I had planned to go fishing but a stye tide hadn't dropped much I went to check the bees. As I was inspecting one colony I heard this amazing noise all around, and looked up to see a big swarm wheeling all around. Thye were entering a vacant hive right next to me. What a wonderful experience, to just stand there in this vortex of whirling bees. Leter I spent a wonderful hour at the edge of the sea watching the waves pounding up the sand. I also caught a Cod so was very happy. A cycle back home for a perfect day. Bloodbuzz Ohio is by the National , and is one of the few songs I have that mentions a swarm of bees. In this image from last year I'm imagining the mighty cloud is the swarm.
Cincinnati, Ohio, blue hour panorama. This concludes the Cincinnati series, happy mid-week to everyone who celebrates Wednesday!
Packard Series II
The Packard Motor Car Company was an American luxury automobile company. It was founded in Warren Ohio as the Ohio Automobile Company by James Ward Packard, his brother William, and their partner, George Lewis Weiss. The first car rolled out of the factory on November 6, 1899.
Packard’s cars were considered the preeminent luxury car before World War II, and owning a Packard was prestigious. Henry Bourne Joy, a member of one of Detroit's oldest and wealthiest families, bought a Packard. Impressed by its reliability, he brought together a group of investors to refinance the company, soon after which Packard moved its operations to Detroit.
In 1953 (or 1954, depending on your source), Packard bought rival Studebaker and formed the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. Some historians believe that this was the beginning of the end of the company. It was certainly followed by a series of circumstances and events that ultimately led to the end of the company in 1962.
This series of photographs was taken at America’s Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The Museum is a restored Packard dealership transformed into a museum that displays twentieth-century classic Packards and historic Packard artifacts and memorabilia.
The dealership originally sold Packards in Dayton, Ohio beginning in 1908. It moved into the building that is now home to the museum in 1917. Robert Signom II, the museum's Founder and Curator for 27 years, acquired the building in 1991 and painstakingly rehabilitated it to its original Art Deco grandeur, opening the museum in 1992.
Car Collector magazine named the museum one of the top ten automotive museums in the United States. The cars on display range from 1900s Brass Era cars, the streamlined Classic cars of the 1930s and 1940s, to the modern Packards of the 1950s. The museum also has a collection of war machines, parts, accessories, and original sales and service literature.

The Golden Lamb Inn is the oldest hotel in Ohio. It was established in Lebanon, Ohio, in 1803.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1978.
Lebanon is located on the old road between Cincinnati and Columbus. For this reason, many notables have visited the inn. The Golden Lamb has been visited by twelve American Presidents: William Henry Harrison, Benjamin Harrison, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, Warren G. Harding, William Howard Taft, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush.
Other famous guests include Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Daniel Webster, Robert A. Taft, and Lord Stanley, who later became prime minister of the United Kingdom.
The new statue in front of the Solid Rock Church in Lebanon, Ohio. In 2012, this statue, titled Lux Mundi (Light of the World), replaced the former statue, officially titled King of Kings. The latter had a number of nicknames due to various aspects of the statue itself, most famously:
Touchdown Jesus due to the pose of the statue, which resembled the signal that an American football referee uses to indicate a touchdown; and
Butter Jesus due to the color of the statue, which was made of styrofoam coated with fiberglass.
The latter was destroyed in 2010 in a lightning strike that set it on fire, leaving only a metal frame. US media had a lot of fun with this. One headline was "Butter Jesus is Toast," and others claimed that even God himself disliked the statue.
Wikipedia says that the new statue, also known as Hug Me Jesus is made of polymer composite and steel, and was mainly fabricated by Display Dynamics of Clayton, Ohio. Since the original statue at Solid Rock Church was destroyed by fire, the new statue incorporates fire resistant materials including a lightning suppression system. Following several months of work, the major pieces of the statue were assembled together at the site on September 19, 2012, and it was dedicated eleven days later.

Three years ago, Norfolk Southern manifest No. 149 is seen rolling past some NKP signal hardware in Conneaut, Ohio after changing crews east of town at Woodworth. The two veteran standard cab C40-9's have the train well in hand and will run into the night across the former Nickel Plate Road to Bellevue. Fast forward to today and both locomotives have been rebuilt, the signals replaced, and the train symbol has been abolished.
I remember seeing Soo Line SD60's in Berea when I was really young, so when I heard that one was leading an eastbound ethanol train and was set to run on the former PRR Fort Wayne Line, I knew I had to try for a few shots, despite the less than ideal weather. Here, train 6K4 stomps upgrade through Wooster Cut in Wooster, Ohio with SOO (CEFX) 6020 leading the way.
