The rolling hills of central Vermont make for unforgettable views of stunning rustic farms that would be right at home on the countryside in all fifty states. Home made maple syrup for sale on the farmhouse porch (using the honor system!) and a friendly dog to greet us made Jenne Farm a sentimental favorite spot from our week in New England.
The power of a westbound Conrail train has just uncoupled from its train to make a pickup in Reading, Pennsylvania. Six month old C40-8W 6062 still serves NS today as its 8321. I personally think it looked much better in blue.

One thing I've got down to a science is panning heritage units in bad weather leading their way past Harris Tower in downtown Harrisburg. This shot is no different as NS 1067, the Reading heritage unit, leads train 66Z east through the first feet of the Harrisburg Line.

What I love about this image both were born in our small pond and now reside in our garden. As you walk up our garden you never know from a wildlife point of view what you will witness. Wonderful.
Reading, Berkshire.
This is by way of introduction to an upcoming series of photos I will be posting from a recent visit to the market.
Reading Terminal Market - America's oldest farmers' market
The Reading Terminal Market, established in 1892 at 12th and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, is the nation’s oldest continuously operating farmers’ market. Through its long and interesting history, it has seen times both good and bad, but has emerged in the 21st century as one of the greatest public markets in the country.
When you visit the market, you can enjoy eating virtually every type of cuisine, from sublime soul food and exquisite Asian and Middle Eastern dishes to authentic Philly Cheesesteaks and traditional Pennsylvania Dutch fare — all available from largely family-run stands.
Why a Reading market in Philadelphia you ask - - -
In 1889, the Reading Railroad decided to build a train depot, passenger station, and company headquarters on the corner of 12th and Market Streets. The move came eight years after the Pennsylvania Railroad opened its Broad Street Station several blocks away at 15th and Market Streets, and one year after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad opened its 24th Street Station at 24th and Chestnut Streets.
The chosen location was occupied by an open-air market that had been in continuous operation since 1653. After loud complaints and much negotiation, the Railroad agreed to purchase the markets for $1 million and move them to a new structure: the Reading Terminal Market, located to the rear of the headhouse at 12th and Filbert Streets. This required the trainshed and all of its tracks to be constructed one story above street level, with the Reading Viaduct to bring trains in and out.
Reading Terminal served the railroad's inter-city and regional rail trains, many of which are still running as part of the SEPTA Regional Rail system that connects Center City with outlying neighborhoods and suburbs, especially to the north. Daily traffic peaked during World War II with up to 45,000 daily passengers, then declined in the 1950s with the advance of road and air travel. The terminal buildings declined with the railroad's fortunes as maintenance budgets were cut. The Reading declared bankruptcy on November 23, 1971.
The shed was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
It now houses some of the Pennsylvania Convention Center facilities.
Reading the obits.....a lot of people read the obits to see if an old friend or acquaintance has died....

I saw these kids propped up in a newspaper kiosk on the campus of UC Berkley. I asked their mother if I could take their picture, and she said sure. The kids were already reading the paper before I took the picture, but they lit up for the camera. They were fun to photograph.

The Pan Am Railways OCS is seen passing through Reading, MA on the Reading Running Track. The Reading Running Track was a unique set up, but was taken away this weekend with a new interlocking cut in at Ash Street.
Someone said I haven't done buildings lately ;) Here's two more from 'round the corner :)
I haven't researched the history of this building and am not sure about its cultural value, but I like the concept of libraries and reading,and certainly the look of it :)
At Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum, the new library building of Berlin's Humboldt University. The reading rooms are placed on terraces over 4 floors. On tour with 96dpi.
I've been wanting to do this with my books for a while now, but decided to start with just a small section in the toyroom instead. My boys thought it was cool. Wanna bet how long it stays like this?
