All that remains of the former Fredericks Hall, VA depot is its simple concrete foundation and the repurposed telegraph pole that's now only a spotlight for a local restaurant as a Buckingham Branch crew brings a westbound CSX empty coal train along the jointed trackage of the former Piedmont Subdivision on the afternoon of November 15, 2020.
Taken on a farm on Vancouver island, this is a picture of an old engine whole holes have bee filled with plants, lichens and pools of water.

An abandoned mill, now inhabited by a pair of redtalk hawks, lots of pigeons and who-knows-all.
I shot the photo Saturday in sunlight, with high, thin clouds. In processing my raw file with PS Elements, I added clouds from an older image, using multiply blend mode. I then used a Nik Silver Efex preset (with slight adjustment) at 43% opacity to keep some color. Finished if off with a little dodging to lighten the area around the hawk, and with a vignette for the edges. My intent was to create dark and unsettling, using my digital darkroom.
I really like this wooden bench made with repurposed cart wheels. Seen at an open day at Green Road Gardens back in the summer HBM! greenroadgardens.ie/
78/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs.
The natural environment of Pateira de Fermentelos is amazing. There, we have a huge mirror of water, the largest natural pond of Europe, and an autoctone natural habitat. These last years, there is an invasive acquatic plant species (Jacinto-de-água) that is infesting the pond and endangering the environment. Even, this old boat has been taken by them. It was naturally repurposed...
Built in Aug. 1939 by General American as a six-compartment wine car, D&RGW AX-2946 was wrecked on the Rio Grande, and repurposed as an outfit gang Water Car. One of a kind on the D&RGW, the car was photographed at Soldier Summit, Utah on May 20, 1989.
This one has the covered button sets with the lining covering the buttons too, A big DOT design with dots here and there to coordinate with the dotted lining. Great big rick rack curves up the front too.
The old railroad/tram tracks in downtown Whitehorse are being repurposed and brightened up by nature as wildflowers take over.

Running along the section of track between Landor Street and St Andrews Junctions, 153385 works 2Z02 Derby to Eastleigh.
Union Pacific repurposed this Pacific Fruit Express refrigerator car into "Maintenance of Way Dept. Ice Service". The 40 ft. plug door car was built by SP Equipment Co. in 1958 in the 100003-100502 series for frozen foods. Most of them were converted to top ice bunkers for vegetable service in 1972-73, but this one was still mechanical when photographed in Provo, Utah on June 23, 1985. Thank you to Mark W. Hemphill for information regarding the car's history.
These are just a few recent antique store finds that I arranged together:

CSX SD50-2 #8632 and SD24T4 #1724 drag a brand new empty rail train through the East end of Selkirk Yard on a typical, partly sunny, Spring afternoon. The #8632 is the last remaining SD50 on CSX’s operational roster, which put a smile on my face seeing it facing the right way here on one of the remote control pull down jobs.

Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
This outfit is probably beyond my repair abilities. Not only have two seams popped the waistband appears to have been 'shattered' where some stain has eaten through the fabric. But I've always wanted a pattern...I think I'll see if I can't make a pattern. :-)
The doll is my Fashion Queen. She needs some paint touch ups, but looks cute in this more modern wig.
