I came across a slew of small Kansas towns this past summer, but this one was wonderful and photogenic. Unfortunately, I can't remember its name. But I found this old Chrysler and couldn't resist.

CP empty grain train no.331 is on the pull out of Toronto after making a two car setoff as well as fuelling up the engines and swapping crews. Apparently the leader here had multiple defects reported, one of which being a broken bell button which was being held together by a band-aid. Paraphrasing, but the conversation on the scanner went something along the lines of this:
Crew: "so you want us to just go ahead when there's literally a band-aid holding this button in place? It's kind of disgusting"
West Tower: "That is correct, I'm sure the band-aid is there specifically to hold that button in place, not like it came off someone, the planner said to just go ahead and leave because he's unable to fix it here on the spot".
Never a dull moment around these parts.

Amsterdam - Admiralengracht / Van Kinsbergenstraat.
Residential block, built in 1926 to a design by Bureau Gulden and Geldmaker.
This block does have an unmistakable "Amsterdam School" appearance, especially due to the attractive corner solution.
Architects Gulden and Geldmaker excel in usually more sober designs, but they could indeed come up with expressive designs (amsterdamse-school.nl).
The Amsterdam School is a style of architecture that arose from 1910 through about 1930 in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam School movement is part of international Expressionist architecture, sometimes linked to German Brick Expressionism (Wp).
As written previously some strange encounters and experiences only hit the full impact mark with some delay.
On a recent event I was viciously struck, once again, by the fact how people are trying so hard to stand out from the crowd.
Clutching for recognition haunted and conforming to some distant paradigm.
In an almost perverted way of begging for attention, they act just merely all the same…
Waiting for a miracle to get noticed, dwelling around (could be a side effect of too many mojo-cocktails though) with eyes closed to their own originality.
Peculiar fact: they want to stand out and simultaneously being simply slightly different from the crowd terrifies them …
Exhausted by too much conversation, by all those attempts to come up with jokey and lively epigrams as the hours and the evening evolve, they seem to fill less and less the room, a kind of emptiness silently surrounding them. Awaiting some miracle solution or advice on how to navigate the crowd.
Wouldn’t it be more simple, every now and then, just to merciless avoid the crowd and just stand tall, against the wind …

I came up with this title because of the bubble "strings" connecting the first 3 bubbles to the wand--also because I made my own bubble solution out of warm water, dishwashing detergent, and a bit of glycerin after she finished the first bottle! No need to pay for a new bottle.
One thing I like about this is that you can see the reflection of our home in the bubbles, especially in the large size.
Summer is winding down, and my yard is alive with pollinators. Butterflies are passing through everyday and the plants in my yard- like the butterfly bush- are a solution for their need for a tasty solution of sugary nectar. For 125 in 2025 #88 Solution

Finding a solution for having a better society must be the preoccupation of governments of all countries. Eradicating the poverty is a necessity. Countries in the middle east can work on similar projects, instead of giving the chance to the growth of enmity.

Hard to know how old this Artcraft Police sign is. Artcraft still designs effective signage solutions for industry and

Sorry guys, I can't make my mind up so here is a series of dragonfly images I took in my garden. As you can see, it is the same common darter on a garden sculpture but turning just a couple of inches one way or another gave me these different backgrounds.

Solar Portraits : Myanmar
While for some, electricity is a given, a complete afterthought, for others, electricity is a luxury. Solar Portraits addresses the latter, namely Myanmar’s extremely limited access to this crucial amenity. Out of an estimated 68,000 villages, only about 3,000 are connected to any power grid. That’s just 27% of the country’s population.
Solar energy is a viable and much-needed solution that has the potential to improve the lives of millions immediately. Small, inexpensive photovoltaic power (PV) systems can allow people to do more with their waking hours at no additional cost.
These portraits depict the lives of inhabitants of remote areas of Myanmar who, for the first time, have access to electricity through the power of solar energy.
Each subject was asked how having electricity has affected their life. Set up within their environment, these portraits visually express their answers. The scenes have all been lit only by solar powered light bulbs which are contributing to the improvement in these people’s standard of living.
Frustrated over the amount of mail he has to handle each winter, Santa came up with a brilliant solution, that not only freed him from the drudgery of reading badly spelt wish-lists, but also knocked a considerable amount off his heating bill.
So this winter, send Santa a long list to keep him warm :)
(Image taken recently with an Analog camera with B&W film).
This is a black & white film, there is no way I can convert it to color. So this and the trouble of carrying a heavy medium format camera on a Florida trail. But was trying it again as a panorama camera. Instead of using the regular 120 films, loaded it with 35mm. Resulting in a 24mm x 70mm panoramic format, which is close to a 1:3 ratio. Analog panoramic cameras are still really expensive, so this is a good solution for any analog Panoramic photographer on a budget.
(Spanish: Fue pesado y trabajoso cargar mi cámara de formato mediano en una caminata por el parque, ya que es pesada. Pero en vez de un rollo 120, la cargue con un rollo de 35mm. Resultando en un negativo de 24x70mm; casi un 1:3 ratio. Perfecto para un fotógrafo Análogo con un presupuesto).

Basílica de la Virgen de la Peña, Graus, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
La antigua basílica de la Virgen de la Peña se levanta en la villa española de Graus (Ribagorza, provincia de Huesca, Aragón). El actual templo se levantó a mediados del siglo XVI sobre un edificio románico anterior. Consta de iglesia, patio y hospital de peregrinos con un bello claustro-mirador.
Proponemos a los visitantes que comiencen la visita desde el interior de la iglesia. Allí quedan restos del edificio románico, en concreto en la parte inferior del muro del evangelio, donde hay una pequeña puerta en alto y sillares más pequeños. El edificio actual presenta, una nave única de dos tramos, cubiertos con bóvedas de terceletes (la de los pies era originalmente estrellada) y una cabecera plana sobre la que se levanta una torre poligonal rematada en chapitel. LLama la atención el achaflanamiento de los ángulos de los pies de la nave.
La puerta de entrada tiene arco de medio punto y abundante decoración: (candelieri, casetones, angelotes, escudos y guirnaldas) y se enmarca por columnas unidas por un entablamento. Frente a ella, el pórtico imita sus formas corintias. En su friso se encuentra la firma de Joan Tellet en dos cartelas junto a una pequeña ménsula que llama la atención del observador. Allí está también la puerta de la capilla de San Juan de Letrán y una escalinata que une el pórtico con el patio. la esquina de la iglesia nos hace comprender el achaflanamiento interior, ya que si no se hubiera adoptado esta solución los contrafuertes exteriores ocuparían el solar de esta escalinata.
La arquería del hospital se abre al patio. Allí vemos cómo la estructura de este edificio apoya sobre la de la iglesia. Otra arcada sobre columnas torsas nos ofrece una espléndida vista de Graus y de la confluencia de los ríos Ésera e Isábena. Al salir, bajando por la rampa, veremos la otra esquina de la iglesia y de nuevo entendemos el achaflanamiento interior la nave, pues otro contrafuerte exterior hubiera impedido el camino de acceso al conjunto.
Desde el exterior se observan diferencias en los dos tramos de la iglesia:
la primera fase de las obras articula sus paños con molduras y contrafuertes
la segunda, obra de Tellet, que presenta paños y esquinas lisos.
En el conjunto del hospital también se ven dos fases:
un modesto edificio de cuatro plantas (apoyado sobre la iglesia y sobre la entrada al conjunto) fue seguramente el primero en construirse y debía servir de residencia del clero
una ampliación, mucho más ambiciosa, de tres plantas: la primera, con la arcada de arcos de medio punto que cobija la rampa de acceso; la segunda, con el mirador de columnas torsas; y la última, de ladrillo y totalmente reconstruida, donde se hallaban habitaciones destinadas a hospital de peregrinos y donde se ubica actualmente un museo de iconos.
The ancient basilica of the Virgen de la Peña stands in the Spanish town of Graus (Ribagorza, province of Huesca, Aragon). The current temple was built in the mid-16th century on a previous Romanesque building. It consists of a church, patio and pilgrim hospital with a beautiful cloister-viewpoint.
We suggest visitors begin their visit from inside the church. There are remains of the Romanesque building, specifically in the lower part of the gospel wall, where there is a small high door and smaller ashlars. The current building has a single nave with two sections, covered with triplet vaults (the one at the foot was originally star-shaped) and a flat head on which rises a polygonal tower topped with a spire. The chamfering of the angles of the feet of the nave is striking.
The entrance door has a semicircular arch and abundant decoration: (candelieri, coffers, angels, shields and garlands) and is framed by columns joined by an entablature. In front of it, the porch imitates its Corinthian forms. On its frieze there is the signature of Joan Tellet in two cartouches along with a small corbel that draws the observer's attention. There is also the door to the chapel of San Juan de Letrán and a staircase that connects the portico with the patio. The corner of the church makes us understand the interior chamfering, since if this solution had not been adopted the exterior buttresses would occupy the site of this staircase.
The hospital archway opens to the patio. There we see how the structure of this building supports that of the church. Another archway on twisted columns offers us a splendid view of Graus and the confluence of the Ésera and Isábena rivers. As we leave, going down the ramp, we will see the other corner of the church and once again we understand the interior chamfering of the nave, since another exterior buttress would have prevented the access path to the complex.
From the outside, differences are observed in the two sections of the church:
The first phase of the works articulates its panels with moldings and buttresses
the second, a work by Tellet, which presents smooth panels and corners.
In the hospital as a whole there are also two phases:
a modest four-story building (leaning on the church and on the entrance to the complex) was surely the first to be built and was to serve as the residence of the clergy.
a much more ambitious extension, with three floors: the first, with the archway of semicircular arches that shelters the access ramp; the second, with the viewpoint of twisted columns; and the last one, made of brick and completely rebuilt, where there were rooms used as a pilgrim hospital and where a museum of icons is currently located.

Photography information: All of the images in this database were captured with the Macropod.
The Macropod is a rigid, portable photomacrography system, which allows the user to make razor sharp, fully focused photographs of small sized specimens at 18 to 26-megapixel resolution. It overcomes the extreme Depth of Field (DOF) limitations inherent in optics designed to image smaller specimens. Normally, lenses designed for macro will only render a very small fraction of the depth of targeted specimen in sharp focus at any one exposure. The Macropod allows the user to select and make multiple exposures in precise increments along the Z-axis (depth) such that each exposure’s area of sharp focus overlaps with the previous and next exposure. These source images are then transferred to a computer and merged by an image-stacking program. Zerene Stacker is used to find and stitch together only the focused pixels from each exposure into one image. The Macropod integrates industry-leading components in a novel and elegant way to achieve these results.

It's the final day of operations for the Heritage Railroad Corp., and for the grand finale, a photo charter was held all day on the line owned by Energy Solutions between Oak Ridge and the NS interchange at Blair. In the following week, Watco will unfortunately assume operations over this short 7 mile line, operating as the Smokey Ridge Railroad.
The Clinchfield F3A No. 800 poses on the Poplar Creek Bridge north of the K-25 Facility with its short passenger train. The F3 was built in December of 1948 for the Clinchfield, rebuilt as an F7A in 1957. It continued life serving Family Lines, Seaboard and even CSX, later becoming privately owned and eventually wearing C&O colors. It was repainted back into the Clinchfield paint scheme by the CSX Huntington, WV Shops for the 2017 Santa Train. It's owned by Ed Bowers' Vintage Locomotives, Inc.
Using vintage equipment to move freight, the Heritage Railroad has been operated by Walden's Ridge Railroad, East Tennessee Rail Car and the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum for the last 28 years, based at the K-25 Facility at Oak Ridge, the top secret Manhattan Project facility that enriched the uranium used for atomic bombs during World War II.
At least a couple of inches of snow fell overnight into the morning as we were on the edge of a major winter storm. Despite the frigid temps, it was a fun day chasing with friends, many of which of which I only see a couple times per year if that. An enormous thanks to everyone who made this possible, too. Though its a bittersweet occasion, the entire day was a blast for sure. 1/31/26.
