Part of a new series of photographs around the Post Tower in Bonn.

Last week, I posted a link to some of my social media accounts to an article in the Philly Inquirer about a bakery that had a bunch of goofy statues on display. On Saturday, we were in the area, so we went there. I took my Pentax 67 and made portraits of many of the statues, including this ape. Shot with my 105mm f2/4 lens on Reflx Lab Pro 100 (220) and developed in ECN-2 chemistry.

 

Incidentally, the statues are the best thing about the bakery. The baked goods we bought there were kind of meh.

The rusted wire had cut deep into the split post...he stopped to examine the wood and oxidized steel, fused together in a decaying embrace. For a while they had become one. In time they would both return to the soil, dissolve in a slow journey back to the earth.

There's a bigger version available on my personal site.

Hey There! Its been a while... A brief historical background

In 2017 I Graduated from School and entered Russian University of Transport to study metro trains. In my first year jf study I posted some photos here and decided to build a unique moc, that will collect my knowledge and skills in lego and trains (Spoiler: it is an upgraded version of metro train 81-717 "Nomernoy", that I have built earlier. But because of studying I didn’t have enough time and desire to finish the project. All this time I was studying information in various spheres to become a great engineer!

In 2022 I Graduated from university and got a job in “METROWAGONMASH”, a manufacturer of all metro trains in Russia (my dream came true!). There I returned to idea to create a lego metro train? That will fit my increased requirements. But I found out that all my files were gone, there were only several photos of Work In Progress… Also I was very busy at work, so didn’t have time to restore my progress.

In 2023 I got a job in “Metrowagonmash-Service”, a company that maintains all modern Moscow metro trains. Later I met colleagues with similar interests and decided to reenter this hobby with my new moc. 81-717 "Nomernoy", that I didn’t finish in 2018 didn’t fit my demands, so I choose the most modern Russian subway train 81-775.2 “Moskva-2024”. With this model I wanted to share my knowledge and experience in combining Lego with various technologies to achieve impressive results!

Some words about the project: Lego metro train "Moskva -2024"

Project objectives: get from development to implementation of a working prototype, get to know technological processes related to the design and production of rolling stock. The goal of the project was to create a model at the intersection of areas of knowledge: a computer model was created and visualized in 3D and photo editors, documentation was prepared in CAD, design elements were developed and printed on a 3D printer, a motor control system with PWM speed control was implemented on the basis of a microcontroller, software was developed to control the model via Bluetooth.

And I claim this model as the first step in my new era of Lego railway building!

After bringing his Scoot in to the bumping post one final time, CNW veteran engineer Bruce Prather (left) pulled the pin after 47 years. Standing with Bruce is Roger W., another CNW vet who retired a few years ago and came down to wish Bruce well.

Bruce was my first instructor way back in 97. My first train was a blocked like Sh**, 147 car, 7800 ft long PRCB. After tying on, Bruce looked over and asked "Have you been paying attention from that side the last three years?" I said yes and he replied "Well I guess we will find out." He got up and into the seat I went. I managed to wheel that thing to Iowa without tearing it up or knocking Bruce or the Conductor out of their seats. Many more stories besides this one. Another "Old School" Hogger gone from the roster. Congrats Bruce. You have earned it.

"As I went walking, I saw a sign there;

And on the sign there, it said, 'No Trespassing.'

But on the other side; it didn't say nothing!

That side was made for you and me."

One of the two small lakes on the remote side of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Management Area in Oklahoma. I saw a photo from this vantage point on a photography book I purchased a few weeks ago by photographer Michael Hardeman. I was inspired to give it a try. It's only a short 3 and a half hour drive from Dallas and my Thursday afternoon was slow.

Taken from my back garden, there was a small tree branch spanning across the lamp post, but that was edited out in photoshop, I also boosted the colour of the blue sky.

Iowa Interstate's original "wide-cabs" were the ALCo M420R's. Here's a shot of IAIS 800 getting its train together on the siding in Moline, IL. We were on our way home from church when we stumbled into this guy. Will and I had said our prayers and would go home, switch vehicles, and chase this guy to Tiskilwa!
