A few miles to the east of RAF Woodvale is this structure on the open fields of Downholland Moss between Southport and Liverpool. It is a dummy light site dating from the Second World War. The platform on the end of the structure housed a large spotlight which was shone around the adjoining fields to mimic the taxi-ing and take off of airplanes. The generators were housed in the rear of the structure and there was a blast wall a the bottom of the steps on the right. Now it is gently decaying, probably housing the local wildlife
The lights are flashing and the gates are down on Front Street but 1st Street hasn't activated yet as a motorist scoots acroas to avoid getting blocked by approaching CSXT train M42508 (West Springfield to Selkirk manifest) which is in the process of doubling up their train east of MP 101 on Main 1 of modern day CSXT's Berkshire Sub mainline. They will soon pull up and block both crossings before getting underway for an overnight trip across the mountains and over the Hudson to the Al Perlman's massive yard southwest of Albany.
The railroad was completed as a thru route to Albany in 1842 and the freight house here was built between 1870 & 1875. The Boston & Albany came under control of the New York Central in 1900, but the B&A name continued to be used until about 1950 for political reasons, and the corporation was not actually formally dissolved until 1962. This side of the station, while lovingly preserved as a local house of worship, has been been modified slightly and repainted over the years removing the historic railroad markings, but the east side still shows the faded Boston and Albany lettering more than 70 years after that name was last applied anywhere by owner New York Central.
This whole scene will change dramatically in a few years as MassDOT has plans to built an overpass here and I worry how it will impact this beautiful old structure, but on the positive side it may open up new photo opportunities in both directions. To read about the plans for it see this link:

It had been raining on and off all morning but there’s always something to shoot. Taking shelter under the bridge I thought I’d snap the under structure of the SHB… it’s amazing this was constructed without any safety gear or ropes!
Historically Yass, an important rural service centre on the Yass River, a tributary of the Murrumbidgee, was a town in the heart of one of the country's prime sheep growing areas. It was noted for its high quality wool and merino studs. Over the past thirty years has become increasingly known for its vineyards and its classy produce. By passed in 1994 it is no longer a stop on the Hume Highway but rather a quiet town with a broad main street, a number of attractive parks, a collection of handsome historic buildings

This black-and-white photograph captures the blend of traditional and modern architectural elements. The half-timbered details and distinctive gables add a touch of history to the building, while the symmetrical structure and clean lines exude modernity. The dramatic sky and the dark shadows cast across the facade heighten the mood of the image, emphasizing the contrasts between light and darkness. The scene feels almost cinematic, with the buildings standing as silent witnesses to both past and present times.
Structures on the Wadden Sea surrounded by the upcoming tide where the water freezes slowly. Cold and quiet on this beautiful morning, with only the sound of a few birds. Typical light during winter.

Penn Central ex New Haven Railroad GE EP-5 motor # 371 leads a passenger train around a curve while entering the station on platform track at Glenbrook, Connecticut, 1970. As you can see motor # 371 is really in need of a paint job at this time and perhaps it will receive the PC black paint scheme. The catenary support structures are of the arched design in this area of the electrified main line system. At this location one of the typical hairpin fences separates the tracks that operate in the opposite direction. Also interesting is that the forward pantograph is being used because it appears that the rear pantograph may be missing. Bob Hughes took this photo.
in the woodland structures series. unadullterated, straight from the camera. I was super pleased with th tone of this as it was. In fact, although I expect few people to understand why, I ADORE this photo.
Noctilux 50mm f0.95, Sony A9, Tech Art Pro LM-EA7. Probably the only combination to get a picture like that. You have to set f stop to 25 to shoot with this combination but the actual f stop on Nocti was of course 0.95. Rather difficult to shoot with this set up, but the dreamy, creamy pictures that come out make it all worth it.
