This replaces an earlier posting: a Rock Island SW1 (537) heads an eastbound local over Santa Fe Ave. In a little more than three years I'd work for two months as a switchman out of Harter Yard, to which this crew is probably headed to tie up. We had two jobs that headed west out of Harter in the morning, went by here and past Union Station, and then worked industries to the west of downtown OKC. The "West Yard" headed into an area that contained spurs off of what must have been the Rock's original mainline through OKC, before Union Station was built in 1931. The "OK Rail" went further west and then switched into a spur that went north to NW39th Street, and then headed east along 39th to industries including a lumber yard. I never asked about the origin of the name "OK Rail", but it appears from what I can find that those tracks were along the remains of the Oklahoma Railway, an interurban that had a pretty extensive reach in central Oklahoma into the '30s. And that nifty little Nash "Rambler" was an attempt by the Kenosha (Wisconsin) based auto manufacturer to break into - or more likely to INVENT - the compact car market. I believe this is about a 1950-model, and like many other older cars down there it was in great shape - no road salt in use.
Following the Columbia River eastward, a Union Pacific manifest heads down the Portland Subdivision, loaded with paper from northwest mills and other wood products. The highway in the foreground is Interstate 84, which replaced the highway that features this perch.
The Wawona Covered Bridge, crossing the waters of the south fork of the Merced river, in Yosemite National Park. Yes, I had to get wet to get this shot. But it was a hot day in late spring, and therefore welcome.
"The bridge was built by Galen Clark, the steward of what was then called the Yosemite Grant, in 1868, without its cladding. The bridge was a major component of Clark's proposed new road from Wawona to the Yosemite Valley. Clark was unable to complete the road, which he sold to the Washburn Group of investors along with the Wawona Hotel. The Washburn Group completed the road to the Yosemite Valley in 1879. It is one of twelve remaining covered bridges in California. The modified queen post truss was covered with Douglas fir cladding in 1878, enclosing the Ponderosa pine structure and its iron tie rods. The bridge served automobile traffic until 1937, when a new bridge was built about 200 metres (660 ft) to the southwest. The bridge was repaired by Civilian Conservation Corps labor the same year. In 1955 the bridge was damaged by flooding. Marked for replacement on account of the damage and its poor general condition, the bridge was instead reconstructed after National Park Service landscape architect Thomas Chalmers Vint intervened in its favor. Work was funded as part of the Park Service's Mission 66 program, using the bridge as the centerpiece of an interpretive exhibit on the history of the Wawona area. The Pioneer Yosemite History Center was established nearby. The bridge was repaired, with damaged elements replaced in kind. Since 1957 the bridge has had a number of repairs and replacements as materials have deteriorated." [Wikipedia]

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
To replace my old Movado that was stolen last week, I bought this one today. It's the "Movado SE Extreme". It's a rather larger face - 48mm - with a larger bracelet. I really like it. I was looking at two different watches, this one and the "Cartier Rondo Solo." I think I made the right choice. This large watch looks great on my wrist.
Not seen here is the back plate; it's a "skeleton" style with tourbillion (Literally: "whirlwind") mechanism to compensate for the effects of gravity.

Edit...bahahaha. It took me 12 comments to realize I had uploaded this before, so I just replaced it with the one you see now.
The other one is here
hehe now all of you that fave'd the last one have this one faved. I'm so magic sometimes
Jaguar XJS convertible, a 5.3-litre V12 luxury grand tourer produced from 1988 to 1996. Designed to replace the iconic E-Type but it never matched the unrivalled looks of its predecessor.

Public housing apartments in Northcote, Victoria. These rather interestingly designed apartments replaced some older ones which were quite run down. I think the new ones were built around 2010. The building on the right hand side of the picture is part of a fairly new privately developed complex. Taken at twilight hence the bluish effect.
Replaced after a few alterations.
Having spent as cold a bivouac as I can remember, a series of warming up exercises were necessary in order not to become totally ineffective at operating a camera. Star jumps, press ups, shadow boxing & other random rapid movements restored blood flow & saw off any pesky sheep intent on 'photo-bombing' Angle Tarn. Even the ravens were eyeing me suspiciously.

Fall is here, and the leaves are turning in the Columbia Gorge. I hope to be out more often this year to catch the foliage as it changes.

Sonnenberg Gardens, also known as Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park, Canandaigua, New York, USA, at the North end of Canandaigua Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. The house and gardens are open to the public every day, May through October.
The property was once the summer home of Frederick Ferris Thompson, a prominent banker in New York City, and his wife Mary Clark Thompson, whose father, Myron Holley Clark, was Governor of New York State in 1855. The Clark family was from Canandaigua, NY. Mr. & Mrs. Thompson's main home was in NYC in a large townhouse on Madison Avenue. The Thompsons purchased the Sonnenberg property in 1863, keeping the name, Sonnenberg (which means "sunny hill" in German). In 1887, they replaced the original farmhouse with a forty-room Queen Anne style mansion. The property also had a 100-acre farm to the east. Sonnenberg's gardens were designed and built between 1902–1919, and originally consisted of nine gardens in a variety of styles.

I become nostalgic when I see photos of California or all other places I travel to for work or fun. Unfortunately, other than a few short daily trips here, around Colorado, I haven't traveled for six months and I am not sure when I will be able to travel again.
Besides, friends haven't been able to visit either. Emily, a good psychologist friend I made in Las Vegas last December twitter.com/exlibrisetc/status/1210810151650725888?s=21, was supposed to visit here in Spring for a few days. She had never been in Colorado and I was looking forward to showing her some of our gorgeous National Parks. Naturally, that didn't happen.
Yeah, the situation has impacted us all and I am not even talking about those who already struggled with the virus. It has impacted everybody and in different ways, depending on what we value most. Because work-for-travel-for-work is my life's motto, not being able to travel is how it has impacted me the most. But I think the worst is over.
All the indications are that Americans have finally had it with both, the malignant narcissist in the White House and the virus, and sometimes frustration is a good motivator. The first is really in our hands, the second is in the hands of the scientific community all over the world - chances are that we will have the vaccine sooner rather than later.
Introverts like me, who live alone, have it easier than most though. Luckily for me, what I do for a living can't all be done from home. Going to the customer's lab for different projects has been really fulfilling at a time when most are working from home. The rest of the free time has gone for reading and small home projects that I had neglected. I have also thought about photography. My gear is getting old and I am not sure whether I will replace it even though I love photography very much.
I use Flickr and Twitter as a public journal of sorts. On Twitter, I post more video clips from the road trips and those memories melt my heart. Here I post photos from those trips, but if it is just for that, my iPhone 11 with its great camera might just do fine.
Whatever I will choose one thing is for sure, I am itching for travel.
The story ends early, when a renovation job gets gutted, unfinished, and the old past moves out with none to replace it. These empty rooms set sleeping for strangers, and stories said with no remaining. No retaining of the bits you broke off and left, staring windows watching. Every now and then, I remember to exist, to notice myself and wonder what the reflection gets up to. When it comes to creating, I firmly believe there's no right way, and only one to get it wrong – leave yourself out of the picture. It's some kind of sickness I feel, every time I encounter an artist who implies no personal life. No self-portrait, no secret emotion, no insight to the heart. We're not wandering eyes alone; seeing is only part of sight. This is a call from the incredible darkness of being yourself, illuminated. That's what I live for.

A few changes at the Stagecoach Whithorn outstation since my last visit three years ago. The Volvo B7 Plaxton Profile's have gone replaced by three Volvo B9R Plaxton Elites for the School services. Here AE10 JTV backs into the depot after working a School contract.
The stairs replace the street in the location of Mozart Street on the west side of Hermann, Missouri just below St. George Catholic Church, due to the steep hillside. The house, with multiple porches and a turret (and a pyramid roof outhouse on the west side) was built by local physician W.C. Wessel in 1917.
Replacing light seals by yourself is not a big deal. All you will need is some foam rubber (or felt), a blade cutter to cut the sealing materials in stripes; and a thin tool (small screwdriver, a steel pin...) to push the new materials in the grooves. Easy .
To remove the old sticky, crumbling old seals you might gonna need some time, isopropylic alcohol to soften the old seals glue. Ear sticks are very useful too. Cut the soft tips (in order to make them more pointed, so they will fit in the cameras groove. Thats pretty much it ; Good Luck !

The Church of England parish church of All Saints (St Anne until c.1928), in the village of All Cannings (pop. 590) in Wiltshire’s picturesque Vale of Pewsey, viewed at sunset from the south. It took its present form in the 14th and 15th centuries on the site of a 12th Century church on the same site. The three-stage central tower is mid-15th century and probably replaced an earlier one, and has a square stair-tower at its northeast corner.
The chancel was rebuilt in 1678 and again in 1868–9, this time in Bath stone on a slightly narrower plan, to designs of Henry Weaver of Devizes, then restored in Victorian times.

2024 the days of DB class 101 on Austrian Schoberpass are over (good). The EC216 "Dachstein" has now a Taurus on front and rear end. Here we see 1116 184 with the train, passing Baerndof. On the rear end is 1016 044.
This mixed 1960s built estate has all but been demolished, to be replaced by a far more densely populated development where existing childrens playspaces have gone........this will be a kick in the teeth for the mental wellbeing and welfare of Parents with children who will live there.
Off to the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana tomorrow for the State Science Olympiad competition. I'm the official chaperone for 30 High School and Jr High kids.......who da thunk it. When I was in High School I was the chaperone's nightmare. At least I'll be one step ahead of 'em, I hope........
Bottom line; I'll have more interesting photos this weekend!
Westcott fountain is a historic landmark on the campus of Florida State University. It sits at the end of College Avenue in front of the Westcott building. There is a large, marble plaque in front of the fountain with the Florida State University logo, used to welcome people to campus. Westcott fountain came into the possession of Florida State University in 1917 as a gift from the Florida State College for Women, classes of 1915 and 1917. Today, the fountain is a strong symbol of unity and heritage for Florida State University.
Westcott fountain sits in the center of Westcott Plaza, surrounded by engraved bricks. The bricks commemorate students, professors and others who have contributed to Florida State University. The Florida State University Alumni Association administers the "Brick Program." The brick plaza was a project of the classes of 1996 and 1997. Its construction in 1998 was possible through the generous donations of students, alumni, faculty, staff and more. The bricks are used to commemorate names, special dates and accomplishments and new bricks are installed every semester.
In 1982 the fountain was renovated in commemoration of Professor Anna Forbes Liddell. The fountain that is there today is however not the original one. Westcott fountain was replaced in 1988, due to failure of the original support system. Westcott fountain sits upon what was previously referred to as "Gallows Hill": during the 1830s, the hill was a site of executions. Westcott fountain has become a monument at Florida State University. It is a symbol of the University that sits proudly at the main entrance to the school.
Tools needed for removing the 30D LCD protector. Suction cup, tweezers for handling the double-sided tape.
More in depth, how to replace the screen protector:
On the route from Boston through Vermont to Montreal stood this old advertisement for a roadside stand. Route 133 is a Quebec country road in process of being replaced by a divided highway. Ironically, this icon has already disappeared: the restaurant was sold and now is a lumber business.
I am especially pleased with this 'portrait' as the sidelight clears the bridge of the nose just enough to light the off-side eye. This is something you can control with studio lights, but is much trickier to get with an immovable statue in sunlight!
Shot on film, another classic medium. My workhorse Canon EOS 620 and my first lens, the Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5. For some reason, reds come out MUCH better on film than on (Canon) digital. This would have been a mess of a file from my 50D. Don't know why that is...
**replaced the original (plastic chair version) with the version that I printed.

Now replaced with a grassy verge, this walled mirror is long gone from the corner of Spencer street & Collins street.
One of several projects, that explore photography as evidence amongst other ideas.

The Brickell Avenue Bridge is a bascule bridge in Downtown Miami, Florida, that carries U.S. Route 1 (US 1; Brickell Avenue) over the Miami River.
The original Brickell Avenue Bridge was built in 1929 and replaced in 1995. The Brickell Avenue Bridge was widened by one additional northbound lane in 2006 to reduce the traffic bottleneck through downtown. Before this, there were three southbound but only two northbound lanes. Currently, there are three lanes in each direction as well as a pedestrian walkway on both sides. Still, the bridge causes frequent traffic delays on the busy Brickell Avenue when it opens. According to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the bridge opened 4,990 times in 2010.
The statue is a 53-foot bronze monument commissioned by the Florida Department of Transportation and created by Cuban Master Sculptor Manuel Carbonell in 1995. The "Pillar of History" consists of a 36-foot high carved bas-relief column that graphically narrates the lives of the Tequesta Indians, Miami's first inhabitants, and features 158 figures. At the top stands a 17-foot bronze sculpture, "Tequesta Family" portraying a Tequesta Indian warrior aiming an arrow to the sky, looking for space in eternity, with his wife and child by his side, while the son covers his face in expectation of their extinction.
Carbonell also created four bas reliefs, measuring 4-feet by 8-feet, which were installed in niches on the bridge's supporting piers. Each relief honors Miami's early founders and pioneers - William and Mary Brickell, Henry Flagler, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and Julia Tuttle.

'Tip-Toeing' in for a smooth landing...
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWKR, this aircraft was delivered to Monarch Airlines as G-SMAN in Mar-99. It was wet-leased to Garuda Indonesia Airlines for a Haj Pilgrimage operation between Oct / Dec-10.
The aircraft was sold to a lessor in May-12 and leased back to Monarch. It operated another Haj Lease to Garuda Indonesia Airlines between Sep / Nov-13. In early 2015 Monarch Airlines decide to withdraw from the long-haul charter marker and the aircraft was stored at Birmingham, UK in Apr-15.
After repainting in NAS National Air Services (Saudi Arabia) livery it was returned to the lessor at the end of Nov-15 and leased to EagleExpress Air Charter (Malaysia) as 9M-AZL. It was wet-leased to NAS the same day.
It was returned to EagleExpress and the lessor as G-GGEN in Jun-16 and was stored at Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). In Feb-17 the aircraft was leased to WAMOS Air as EC-MNY. As well as operating their own flights, WAMOS are a major 'ACMI' operator operating flights for other airlines.
The aircraft was wet-leased to Air Algerie between Jun / Sep-17. Ironically, it was chartered by the UK CAA in early Oct-17 to repatriate Monarch Airlines passengers after they ceased operations.
It was wet-leased to Biman Bangladesh Airlines between Jan / Feb-18, LATAM Airlines - Chile between Mar / Aug-18 and Norwegian Air UK between Sep-18 / Jan-19. WAMOS also operated a Haj Pilgrimage wet-lease for Garuda Indonesia between Jul / Sep-19.
After 22 years in service, the aircraft was permanently retired at Kansas City, MO, USA in Jan-21. Updated 13-Nov-22.
