On a cold clear morning late running Amtrak train 2150, a Boston to Washington Acela zips down Main 1 approaching MP 197 on Amtrak's New Haven Line with trainset number 9 led by Bombardier power car 2039.
Barely visible between the catenary poles in the right center background, beyond the signal for BORO interlocking, stands the old wooden tower that was known as SS165 in NH days. Allegedly constructed in 1898, it was relocated here when the NH undertook their massive grade separation project through town and built their two new stations between 1903 and 1906. This tower also holds the distinction of being the last in service on the corridor in MA, not closing down until 1993. Amazingly it survives three decades later despite regular reports of its imminent demise.
Looking over the scene on the left side is the brick Second Congregational Church that was constructed on Park Street in 1904. The congregation dates from 1748 and is a daughter church of the First Congregational Church in the old town section of North Attleborough. This is actually the third structure in which congregants have gathered. Originally located in a meeting house on what is now the common, Second Congregational had a stately white clapboard building built in 1825 which was removed in the early 1950s to make way for the addition of a new Fellowship Hall and education rooms. The clock in the tower of this third building was owned originally by the city but now belongs to the church and seems to be keeping perfect time.

im almost 100 percent sure this was the last time we shot in this field; its since been fenced off. which is so totally unfair.

Kiev-88, Volna 2.8/70. Kodak PPN 160 negative film, expired in 2006.
Jianmincun, a village from the 60's near Zhongtan Lu.
I don't care for staging shots at all, but sometimes, when I find a bug on the side of the house, shooting it right there can make for a pretty boring backgound. This broad-nosed weevil is the species Otiorhynchus raucus and it was one of those - on the (light grey) side of the house.
I therefore took the liberty of relocating it two meters and place it one a leaf in the garden and proceeded to shoot it there instead.
This was shot at 2.7:1 magnification and is a short focus stack of three exposures as it was kind enough to stay still for me.
Fast Forward about six minutes from yesterday's post and we come to a subject that I try to visit on each trek to the park. The relocated boulders that for some time occupied a spot on the hill where they were surrounded by a bright orange plastic snow fnce. I was so happy when they were moved to their new location.
Rarely do I ever clone things out of a photograph, and when I do it may just be a blade of grass or something minor at the edge of the frame. In this case though I cloned out a couple of my footprints from a previous visit. They were at the lower right hand corner, and were in my opinion both distracting and messed with balance. I am good with that as it does not really alter permanent reality, if that makes sense. The snow will not always be there. If there was say a powerline running through the sky i would never think about removing that as that would be changing the actual scene.
Likely a couple of clicks to the best detail.
I'm in the middle of a front porch remodel. I had to move all the furniture, etc. off before the workers got here yesterday. When I took down the curtains, this little beauty was exposed. This is the creature that keeps my cats entertained (usually in the middle of the night) by jumping onto my bedroom window. When he first came down onto the railing his whole body was dark like his head. This all happened really quickly. Then when he landed on this white railing, he started to turn colors. On the left just his backside and back legs had changed. When I finally got him to the ground on the mulch he was pretty much white all over. God's creation! I think he's relocated somewhere else by now.
Another sample shot from the PZ16-50 kit lens. Light was extremely blah here, so I went with the flow and desaturated further by just a wee bit. Two clicks to full view.
I was thrilled to find these boulders in their new location. During late summer I had spoken with a couple of town employees that were doing some bobcat work around the monument boulder area. I mentioned to them how the Hill was the central focal point of the entire park and how the boulders that were stored on the hill looked poor with the bright orange snow fence surrounding them. The fence was placed there so that tobogganers would not crash into the boulders.
Well it took a while, but there is no more bright orange snow fence ruining shots of the hill. I like to think that I had something to do with the relocation. And their new location close to the edge of the pond is great with the hill in the background. No doubt I will be shooting these more in the future, in fact I should have a post coming up within a week.
Jet d'Eau Fountain, Geneva, Switzerland.
Jet d'Eau, literally meaning 'water jet', is the huge Fountain on the Geneva Lake, in the city of Geneva, Switzerland. Jet d'Eau is one of the tallest fountain in the world. Originally, in 1886 they built the fountain to control and release the excess pressure of a hydraulic plant at La Coulouvrenière. Shortly it became remarkable symbol of the city and so it was amplified and relocated to the center of the Lake. ts strong engines pump 500 liters of water per second to the height of 140 meters.

Here is the shot that my posted digital painting was based on. Even here I have added contrast to the scene which had some pretty dull lighting. In the painting I took artistic license to make the lighting even "better"
Possibly a tough image for a beginner, but I really liked the composition and especially some of the coloured grasses, so I thought it good enough to attempt a go of painting it.

Hi everyone,
Here is a potential final piece for my AS Level Photography course. I got given the theme 'High Rise' and I think that this portrays that theme pretty well. What do you think?
This was taken at the new Media City UK in Salford Quays. This is where they are relocating the BBC Television Centre.

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIZION AND BY THE TIME YOU SEE THIS THEY WILL ALL BE IN A MUCH SAFER PLACE
Most spiders don't enjoy the indoor climate here very much. It is generally way to dry for them and even though they might be drawn to the warmer temperatures, the low humitidy will kill them (with some exceptions).
The common candy-striped spider (Enoplognatha ovata) like this male are definitely better off outside so when I found him on a wall inside I swiftly relocated him to the garden - and took a couple of shots of course!
The "candy stripe" part of the name is a reference to the female which is a paler colour with a pinkish-red stripe along the abdomen.

Today was the last day of big push to my new storage room for all my belongings when I for the next year or so will be living/working in southern France. Now only 3 weeks left in Denmark ...
We followed a caravan through the cattle drive. You can see how orderly they generally were. Barraba, New South Wales.
I just thought I needed to know
when things become skew-whiff
and recollection is on the go
for reality to steal the show, as if!
that solace is found in the comfort of memory
a souvenir footnote at the end of the day
visually situate, that moment no longer allusory
for it's finding is now here to stay!

Key West Cemetery was relocated from Higgs Beach to this site in 1847 after being ravaged by a hurricane the previous year.Over 75000 people are interred here in in-ground and crypt style graves,given the closeness to sea level.Some prominent memorials in the cemetery include those to the Battleship Maine Disaster and one honoring those who served in the 1868 Cuban Revolution.Cultural diversity is in prominent display here as sites range from elaborate markers to simple headstones.
A Florida State Historic site...
This amazing Prairie Falcon is getting ready to 'relocate'...it's such a thrill to see these cool birds up close and personal!
I was once told, early in my birding days, that these falcons were common...I never found that to be true!?
Thank you for your visit and comments.
This is how the play kitchen looks after the girls moved it into Johanne's room and remodeled it. They were organizing and making little displays. When they had finished they asked me to take pictures.....
Gerda Weissmann Klein endured three years across various Nazi concentration camps. In the latter part of January 1945, Gerda, along with 4,000 other Jewish women, was compelled to undertake a 350-mile death march to escape the advancing Allied forces.
By the beginning of May, Gerda was among the mere 120 women who had survived. The remainder, including several childhood friends, had perished due to exhaustion, starvation, arbitrary executions, and exposure to harsh weather conditions.
Gerda was just one day away from her 21st birthday when she was liberated by American soldiers. Weighing merely 68 lbs. (30.84 kg), her hair had turned almost white, her garments were ragged and infested with lice, and she had not bathed in three years.
She later recounted the moment she saw the man who would save her life:
"I was standing in the doorway of that factory, aware that I was free. I noticed an unfamiliar vehicle descending the hill, adorned with the white star of the American army on its bonnet. Two men in unfamiliar uniforms were seated inside, whom we presumed to be Americans. One of the men approached me, and I gazed at him with a mix of immense admiration and disbelief, realising I was facing someone who had fought for our cause. Naturally, I was profoundly scared. I told him, 'we are Jewish.' After a lengthy pause, he replied, 'so am I.' That was the most extraordinary moment of my life. He invited me to accompany him, courteously holding the door open for me. He has continued to hold the door open for me for 50 years as my husband."
Gerda wed Kurt Klein in Paris before relocating to Buffalo, New York, where they went on to have three children and eight grandchildren.
Gerda turned into a human rights advocate and authored her autobiography, "All But My Life."

The history of Mountainair and the surrounding area merges with its present-day description, offering a Gateway to Ancient Cities.
Hundreds of years ago Abó had an abundance of water, creating a sustainable farming community that historians estimate may have reached 20,000 native inhabitants. A Pueblo (Tompiro) petrogylph at Abó, dated from the 1400’s depicts Tawa, the Sun-Father, one of the most revered deities of the Pueblo Indians and a key element for a bountiful harvest. Abó is positioned on a major east-west trade route the Abó Pass, a shallow gap that divides the Manzano and Los Piños Mountains. The community of Abó was still thriving when Spanish explorers came upon it in 1561. Abó was the head of one of the largest missionary operations in New Mexico, known today as the part of the National Monument Salinas Pueblo Missions. The three sites that comprise these ruins—Abó, Quarai and Gran Quivira—attract historians, archeologists, and visitors to Mountainair from all over the world.
Among the intriguing aspects of Mountainair are residents who can still tell the story of when their Grandparents called an area within the town, Monte Alto. However difficult it may be to locate historic documents verifying these tales, one can only imagine a small village of settlers, unaware of the attention they were about to receive.
The attention arrived with the railroad and the founding of Mountainair by John Corbett, Colonel E.C. Manning, and former U.S. Governor E. S. Stover in the summer of 1903. It was the first incorporated town in the area–before Torrance was a county and before New Mexico officially became a state. Strategically sited for the railroad at the summit of Abó Pass and named for its cool fresh mountain breezes, passengers first rolled into Mountainair in 1907 and continued to travel through during the 1960’s. This alternate route, now primarily used for freight, known as the Belen cut-off, is part of the transcontinental tracks. It was built in some measure to alleviate the extreme grades and delays over Raton and the Glorietta passes. The depot, currently owned by BNSF, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In the early 1900’s, with rain in abundance, farming again played an important role in the area’s history, fostering a boom in the economy and increasing the population to nearly 5,000. This entitled Mountainair to become the “The Pinto Bean Capital of the World,” housing the nation’s largest bean processing center, with peak production reaching over 750 train carloads of beans in one season. Pinto beans, a sturdy crop, provided American soldiers their main rations through WWII. The beans were farmed on approximately 40,000 acres, using the rain as their principal source of water. In 1946 a 10-year drought began, leaving the land barren and forcing farmers to become ranchers or move to make a better living. With ranching now a mainstay in Torrance County and with a population today hovering at 2,000+ in Mountainair, there are likely more cattle than people living around the town.
In the mid 1980’s a resurgence of relocation to Mountainair took place and continues to this day, with numerous new or renovated homes and businesses in Mountainair and several innovative sub-divisions surrounding the town. This long and diverse history of Mountainair, in addition to the breathtaking views of the Chupadera Mesa and the Manzano Mountains, has a mystique that captures the imagination of writers, artists, photographers, and individuals searching for a unique and wondrous place. A little over an hour from Albuquerque, Mountainair, Gateway to Ancient Cities, offers an adventure into times past, enjoyment to its visitors, and endearment to its residents.
