Memories from Italy
Tower of Mangia
The Torre del Mangia is a tower in Siena, in the Tuscany region of Italy. Built in 1338-1348, it is located in the Piazza del Campo, Siena's premier square, adjacent to the Palazzo Pubblico. When built it was one of the tallest secular towers in medieval Italy.

Jorgia (who would be known as Josephine later in life) wasn’t one to enjoy being the center of attention. However, when she was asked to demonstrate an advanced transfiguration in her first class at Grindelbane Academy, she was eager to prove to the others exactly why she was invited a year earlier than most. At the age of 17, Jorgia Prynce was already so much more than just another pretty half-Veela. No… she was much more. With her special talents in transfiguration and the added bonus of her half-heritage abilities, the ex-Hufflepuff was ready to start this new chapter of her life and begin her journey towards achieving her goal of becoming an Auror. “Aeris Caelum!” She said. The tip of her wand began to glow blue as a cloud began to form on the ceiling above the class. With a loud crack and the rumble of thunder, it was not only clear that her attempt at the spell had succeeded, but that her weeks of practicing the spell in her poor step-mother’s living room had finally paid off.

NS P50 (Ersatz P26), the Chamblee to East Point transfer job heads south through Lenox on the Piedmont Division with highhood SD40-2 3270 leading. No doubt I was annoyed it being on the wrong track thus ruining my plan for shooting with the signal, but oh well, time heals most wounds.
I ran across these two shots from over 10 years ago that look like I took them yesterday. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing!!
Since Pan Am is in the news lately I figured I would put up a few Pan Am shots from my trip in 2015. In 2015 GSP was kind enough to give me the full 1 week tour of New England railroading. We had mostly good luck with the weather and managed to shoot a number of the Guilford Highhood GP40s which were high on my list. Probably the most impressive consist was this quartet with two GP40s leading POWA. Unfortunately due to a failed attempt at the Maine Eastern (which we later more than made up for) we missed most of the well lit opportunities of this train but this one came out quite nice. Here the train is approaching Leeds Junction with 373 leading 377. At Leeds they would swap the locos around for some long forgotten reason.

Saw a coworker at North Park way back in 2014. This is his photo, but I used Gigapixel AI to increase the size of the image from 960x640 to 3840x2560. It mostly worked! Well, it worked better than I expected. There are some funky things going on if you look closely, but I think it was worth the price. Just don't expect to enlarge fine art with it. I think this app is best for enlarging old, low-res snapshots.
This is especially for you Llanuza!
Algoma Central FP9A 1752 and friends bask in the golden sunset of a beautiful Sault St. Marie evening in August 1996. We had just returned from a private car charter round trip up to Hearst and back.
Throwback in November 2014 with the local school children queuing to visit Nyatapola Temple in Bhaktapur. While the Nyatapola survived the 2015 earthquake, many other temples in the area were damaged or destroyed. It’s very sad to hear in the news that one year on, little progress has been made in helping the survivors to rebuild permanent homes.
As you can see from the Nepal Travel series, I met some of the friendliest locals in Bhaktapur.
Four Maroon C420 glow in the last light of day as the Monnet turn chugs back into Rogers. As I was taking this I realized this was one of the last times this would ever happen....turns out I was wrong but it was still the last time for me.
