Some photos of my old MOC. I already posted one photo of this vehicle 10 years ago. These I found on my brickshelf (I totally forgot about this site).

Denver, 18 March 1978
In March 1978, I finished Air Force Tech School at Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls, Texas.
My orders said that I was "authorized" "commercial air" or "commercial surface" transportation. I called up my Air National Guard unit and asked them if I could use "commercial surface" to get home from Wichita Falls to Sacramento. They said it was OK with them, so instead of getting an air ticket, my friend Herbie, who was permanent party and had a car, drove me to the Wichita Falls Continental Trailways station the night that tech school ended and I caught a bus for Denver.
We were overnight to Amarillo (Amarillo by Morning is an old country song) and then spent the day going north through the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle, then through eastern Colorado. We went through Boise City, Oklahoma and Limon, Colorado, that i remember, and a look at a map says we must have been on US 287 all the way from Wichita Falls to Denver. I didn't get any train photos out the bus window. I remember seeing an ATSF train going south somewhere around Boise City and remember crossing other rail lines, but if I saw other trains in addition to the Santa Fe one, I don't remember them.
I had a lot of luggage as I was moving back home after 9 months away with all my Air Force uniforms as well as civilian clothes, so I got a cab from the bus station to the Oxford Hotel, a block from Union Station. I'd stayed at the Oxford in 1975, when I was in town for a UP 8444 special and remember the room costing $8 per night in 1975...the room was probably more expensive in 1978, but the Oxford had not yet been refurbished into the classic luxury hotel it was in 1991 when my wife and I stayed there.
After dropping my bags, I headed to Union Station and then the rail yards that used to be behind Union Station. The whole area has changed beyond recognition today, but in 1978, the area around the station was still Skid Row and behind the station were train yards. Tracks in Union Station still went through, and freights would sometimes come through on platform tracks.
With only Amtrak's SF Zephyr, the Rio Grande Zephyr and the Ski Train, Union Station was not nearly as busy as it had been even 10 years earlier when we came through on the CZ
I wandered around the yards in the late afternoon light, taking advantage of the fact that nobody seemed to care that I guy with a camea was in areas that would be off limits today. I even went into the BN roundhouse for a quick photo. UP had a DD35 in town, as well as other long vanished models.
SCL 501 was parked in the station, looking rather out of place, far from the Atlantic coast. The Nebraska Zephyr articluated set that it had been coupled to in 1975 was gone, but it was coupled to an observation car.
Shortly before the light faded, a swticher brought a couple of cars, including a dome, to be added to the SF Zephyr for the trip to Chicago. My final shot was of the Ski Train equipment parked in Union Station.
Of the photos I've taken here, the only one that could be replicated today is the view down 17th St, of the station. , and at that, the street looks a lot better today.
The ice on Lake Charlevoix is melting, and until I got in it I hadn't thought about how complicated a process that is. It doesn't simply become thinner and thinner until it disappears. It actually becomes...well I was going to say porous, but I think fibrous is more accurate if you indulge me about the "fibers" being relatively short. It is a giant pack of ice splinters that remains mostly intact because the splinters have nowhere to go, except on the edges. There they get pushed around and piled up by the moving water, or heaved up in chunks by the wader-clad knee of a curious photographer. Once out of the water and onto the surface, the chunks break apart with a merry tinkle (see photo in comments below). I wish someone would come with me and shoot video.
During the golden hour, when the sun is pretty much sideways, it's hard for the light to penetrate this mass of splinters. But it glints all over the uneven surface and the texture is amazing if you look closely. Fun to scoot around on, too--it squishes like a bog. Just make sure you stay where it's not too deep if you bust through!
Mary had just officially completed the last exercise of the last dive of her OW class. Mrs. M.S. (right) was enjoying the moment with her.
Atlantis IV surfacing off shore near Lahaina Maui...
Atlantis Submarines International, also known by the trade name Atlantis Adventures, is the world's only public passenger submarine fleet designed for touring purposes.
Atlantis was founded by Dennis Hurd in 1985. The submarines are battery operated, non-polluting, air-conditioned, and pressurized. They are certified by the American Bureau of Shipping to operate to a depth of 150 feet. For safety reasons, unlike conventional Naval and research submarines which operate at or around neutral buoyancy, the Atlantis submarines maintain constant positive buoyancy, exerting constant thrust to remain submerged; thus, in the event of a power failure, they surface immediately and without human intervention.
In order for passengers to reach the submarine they board a shuttle ferry, then they enter the submarine via steep stairs. When the submarine goes down they see corals, sunken ships, treasures, and fish through large viewports. When the submarine ride is finished the passengers are returned by the ferry to shore where they are given dive certificates. Some 12 million passengers have taken the Atlantis submarine tour to date.

Este estilo de piercing é chamado surface, o local foi escolha de uma cliente, a partir da escolha do local foi realizado um estudo no corpo para saber se o tipo de pele dela serviria o tipo de material a ser utilizado, no caso PTFE também conhecido como bioplastico que é um material maleavel desenvolvido para este tipo de aplicação. e esse é o resultado

Surface Tension - I love the strong lines that seem to burst out of the pavement creating tension throughout the frame.
A puddle that made the pavement so much more interesting with the reflections it was catching. Many a PIPer took a shot of this from different perspectives see One Puddle PIPed.

Sometimes we're too busy looking for beauty on the surface, that we miss the greater beauty which is beneath. Back in 2003, I was photographing this creek and was mesmerized by the beauty beyond the leaves that were floating on top. Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

Here's my entry into the 4/3rds Critique's Flickr group assignment for this month. Our theme this month is: Physics.
I also thought this worked pretty nicely for Bokeh Wednesday! :) HBW!
