We probably would have taken more pictures, but we were getting eaten alive by mosquitos. In the middle of October. Who woulda thunk?

Oh, and we didn't want to get shot by the locals...

My high school girl friends and I got together for another weekend of 50th Birthday celebrations in Leavenworth, WA. We stayed in a cabin owned by Julie's friend. Julie and I took a photo walk through the property surrounding the house. I loved this rusted out old tractor.

Rusted mining remnants at the Lake George Mine, above the town of Captains Flat, N.S.W.

Out benching today for 5-1/2 hours. Not too hot, but not nice out. End of the day I start getting tired of being out, and as always think to myself, "Okay, one more train and I'm going home!" Well the last train came, and I shot it, and discovered lots of the photos, about 25 had focus issues. My fault I'm sure. Shooting into the sun, standing on the side of a hill and tired/hot. Oh well, nothing amazing was missed. About 1/4 mile back to the car, and I can hear the next train coming and then I see it rolling by, but I'm too far away. "I should have waited another 10 minutes and caught another one." I just have to keep telling myself, I can't see/shoot all of them.

I'm just out there preserving the freight pieces I'm there to see. Glad that there will be new pieces to see next time I'm out.

Some rust on the side of the bridge. I thought it looked neat.

Rusting since the 1950s.

I was trying to get something reminiscent of a Treble Cleft with this one. I like the way the subject and its shadow work together.
