After making their delivery of steel wire to Johnstown Wire Technologies, C&BL 104 shoves the 3 car consist along the Conemaugh River, and Broad St., to the CSX and NS interchanges in downtown and East Conemaugh respectively.
In the background is its unusually massive railroad shop, a remnant of a time when the Conemaugh and Black Lick was an important link to the mills in Johnstown, PA. Back when Bethleham Steel owned the railroad, they served pretty much every industry along the river, from the former PRR connection near Franklin, all the way to about Staple Bend Tunnel. Sadly, the decline of the steel industry in the 70's-80's reduced the shortline to serving just two customers.

Ok so we live in the town next to where the New England Patriots play their football games; and I stopped for iced coffee, looked up and saw this triangular thing that looked like the Patriots game flag. Of course it looked like the Patriots flag, context and all that—- grin. But it’s probably some sort of fancy broadcast antenna

I've had trouble getting enough light for my photos at this time of the year. I thought a small LED lamp would help but the little ones seem to be afraid of it.

In the interest of full transparency, note that this is a partially AI-generated and enhanced photo (I just felt like fooling around with this new technology). The only thing real is the bird. Everything else is computer-generated. I think we need to be careful to look out for fakes being represented as real photographs. For that purpose, I have not added this photo to any groups. What say you?

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, or say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to do
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs not nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you
In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long black tube
In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' he ought to make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
Guess it's time for the Judgement day
In the year 8510
God's gonna shake his mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wondering if man's gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been 10,000 years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through
But through the eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do or say
Is in the pill you took today ....
Sorry for not being around guys, i have been working two jobs and have missed so much i have to catch up with everything. So apologies for not catching up with your messages and work...
I had today free so felt i should catch up with my 52 weeks from missing last weeks theme of Technology. I had originally decided to do something combining man and machine but after thinking about it thought i would try the matrix style portraits i have always wanted to try!
It took a lot of layers to say the least but i think i got a similar effect to what i wanted, only downside it isn't dark enough between the highlights. Anyhoo, i'm pleased with the results despite that and hopefully will improve with practice. Now i have to rush off again and go prepare for more work, i hope i get a break soon! Catch up soon guys and gals! :)

Say hello to my new camera!
Well, you can't, because it's not in shot, but this is the first Rachel selfie I've done with my new Christmas present. I went up to Sydney yesterday to try it out, and couldn't resist a few shots of myself. It's excellent for selfies, since its built-in wifi alows me to use my phone to control it - set the focus and various other parameters, and then activate the timer.
Anyway, all that explains the rather strange expression; it's the look of a girl trying something out for the first time :)
The Hagen Open-air Museum (LWL-Freilichtmuseum Hagen – Westfälisches Landesmuseum für Handwerk und Technik; English: "LWL Open-air Museum Hagen – Westphalian State Museum for Craft and Technics") is a museum at Hagen in the southeastern Ruhr area, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It was founded, together with the Detmold Open-air Museum, in 1960, and was first opened to the public in the early 1970s. The museum is run by the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL, regional authority for Westphalia and Lippe within North Rhine-Westphalia). It lies in the Hagen neighbourhood of Selbecke south of Eilpe in the Mäckingerbach valley.
The open-air museum brings a bit of skilled-trade history into the present, and it takes a hands-on approach. On its grounds stretching for about 42 ha, not only are urban and rural trades simply "displayed" along with their workshops and tools, but in more than twenty of the nearly sixty rebuilt workshops, they are still practised, and interested visitors can, sometimes by themselves, take part in the production.
As early as the 1920s, there were efforts by a group of engineers and historical preservationists to preserve technological monuments for posterity. The initiator, Wilhelm Claas, even suggested the Mäckingerbach valley as a good place for a museum to that end. The narrow valley was chosen, as wind, water and wood were the three most important location factors for industry in the 18th and 19th centuries.
In 1960, the Westphalian Open-Air Museum was founded, and thirteen years later, the gates opened to the public. Unlike most open-air museums, which show everyday life on the farm or in the country as it was in days gone by, the Hagen Open-Air Museum puts the history of these activities in Westphalia in the fore. From the late 18th century through the early years of the Industrial Revolution to the highly industrialized society emerging in the early 20th century, the visitor can experience the development of these trades and the industry in the region.
Crafts and trades demonstrated at the Westphalian Open-Air Museum include ropemaking, smithing, brewing, baking, tanning, printing, milling, papermaking, and much more. A favourite attraction is the triphammer workshop shown in the image above. Once the hammer is engaged, a craftsman goes to work noisily forging a scythe, passing it between the hammer and the anvil underneath in a process called peening.
The Hagen Westphalian Open-Air Museum is open from March or April until October.

Le besoin pressant d'un univers logique et cohérent est profondément ancré dans l'inconscient humain. Mais l'univers réel est toujours à un pas au-delà de la logique.
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense, But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.
