This Dominicks opened on May 19, 1997 as a Dominicks Fresh Store. This store closed in December 2013. Several stores including Big R and an Aldi with a Deli were planned but never happened. Now UHaul has bought this shopping center and will put a UHaul in the former Dominick's.

This is one taken a few days ago, I titled it then as well, before the challenge was posted, so I must have had a premonition. Something about the synchronized look the child and dog's movement reminded me of the scene in Dances With Wolves where Costner is playing with his new wolf friend. Beautiful movie for any who have not yet seen it. View large on black and you can see it's raining lightly which made this my last shot of the day.

This is what happens when you have some fun playing with the hue settings. It's just too bad many of the pieces are not available in those colors.
This is my newest model, a TH&B 40’ USRA Wood sheathed boxcar.
The TH&B had a fleet of 300 of these boxcars which were purchased used from the New York Central in 1940. These boxcars were numbered 4500-4799 and carried a brown paint scheme with white lettering. Only 2 of TH&B’s USRA boxcars ever recurved the more modern black and yellow paint scheme, 4576 and 4795. This paint scheme is my absolute favourite freight car livery so I knew I had to build one some day!
My model was designed originally in BrickLink studio and then I ordered the necessary parts to build the model. This model features the vertical wood paneling modelled by stacking plates sideways, this gives off the effect of the small wood sheathing on the boxcar. As a result of this there is a lot of snot work on the inside of the car to hold everything together. This all makes this model really really heavy. This model also features details such as the door rails as well as all the grab irons and a brake wheel on the end. I was even able to bend some flex tube to create the crab irons on top of the roof walk.
The decals are made by OKBrickworks purchased through Brick Model Railroader. These decals are intended for the TH&B’s 3700 series of boxcars so they aren’t completely accurate but they are close enough for now. This means that thing such as the car data on the sides are incorrect but oh well.

This is one of the two Super Hornets that I shot passing through Long Beach in August of last year. Good to see you again!
This is an amazing place to accumulate different thoughts, and, or,get away from the WORK aspect that comes with college.

This will be turned into sauerbraten after days of preparation, including marinating the meat and hours of slow cooking. Other ingredients include bay leaves, celery, wine vinegar and assorted other spices.
This is my Week 12 photo for the View 52 group, the aim being to take one photo per calendar week.
Not managed to get out with the camera in the snow this weekend and had planned a still life shot this evening. However did go out in the back garden briefly and noticed my footprints in the ice, where the snow had almost thawed so I could see the pavement underneath it. Quite liked the textures and patterns, so the still life can wait a while, it's not going anywhere.

This was from the 2nd time I went to Alaska in 1996. This was my 13th birthday.
I don't know how Diamond Center Mall is doing. This mall is freakin' huge. It has an ice rink, several floors of office buildings, and it had a Hello Kitty store!
I looked it up on the mall's website and the store is no longer open.

Chilly, but should be a nice day
The Charming Hummingbird (Amazilia decora) is sometimes known as the Beryl-crowned Hummingbird and only occurs in Costa Rica and Panama. We found several Hummingbird nests in Costa Rica but this was probably the easiest to photograph. The nest was a delicate cup of mosses woven together with spiders' webs. The two white eggs were tiny; about the size of Tic-tac mints. I photographed this Charming Hummingbird at Coracovado in southern Costa Rica.
From the 50s to the present day, Tin Pan Alley played host to the NME and Melody Maker, the Sex Pistols and the Stones. However, the recent closure of 12 Bar Club and Enterprise rehearsal studios marks the end of one of London’s musical meccas.
This is a NaNo project.
I am very tire due to time lag. Need to adjusted back to the Pacific time zone.
Would give you all more information tomorrow.
Thanks for your visits & support.
I deeply appreciate it.
Recently, mom found this old cemetery in Stony Point NY. I lived and grew up around here and spent many years exploring the little corners of our town, but I've never seen this before.
I believe it was on a an old road. This area was sparsely settled but had numerous brick industries and was heavily dug up and reworked. There is little of the original topography left that people from 200 years ago would recognize. Unfortunately by 1700 this are was clear cut and turned mainly into farmland. in 1609 Henry Hudson saw the Native American villages and farms that lined the river all along the way. They must find this even more difficult to see how badly the land has been treated since the time they were the only people.
The last burials in this cemetery occurred in the 1850s-1870s. There are certainly more bodies whose stones have not survived into our time due to weather, acid rain, vandalism and the businesses that ran the railroad through here. It does not appear they cared much as there are telephone poles driven right into area where the plots clearly were.
These places always get me musing about time, place and my presence in it. We are really impermanent. Some of the family names on the stones are familiar names that have been here for generations. If you opened the phone book you'd see legions of the same surnames, even so these stones are forgotten. The stories of the the people underneath are long forgotten, except for their birth and death-days, A few were revolutionary soldiers and some where 1812 soldiers, probably with fascinating stories...or likely they were boring old stories when anyone alive was around to here them. Now if we could tap their knowledge it would be a national treasure to here the unfiltered and unvarnished details of life in the militia during these wars. In those days the are was sparsely settled and must have had many wild areas that were truly wild. But they are gone...as we will be.
In old cemeteries I think about how permanent the stones seem...and the tokens such as flowers and decorative things. I see things that state we will never be forgotten, but the truth is that we will forget ...and will be forgotten. Even the traumatic Sept 11, 2001 attacks spawned "never forget" signs and here we are 20 years on and there are 20 years of children (such as my son) born without any memory of this event. Just recently we passed the 80th anniversary of the Dec 7 1941 Pearl Harbor attacks and it is an interesting anniversary for most people, except for the ever-dwindling population of WWII and people alive at that time. I'm particularly interested in WWI history and the unbridled hell of trench warfare from 1914-1918.....claiming an estimated 10 million soldiers (many more if civilians are counted) and introducing the world to horrors of gas warfare and mangled bodies shot through and apart by rapid-fire machine guns and relentless high explosive artillery. Nobody alive can recount this misery that enveloped the world and set the stage for the next conflict.
The largest most solid mausoleum is just delaying the inevitable fade into nothingness. Even the pyramids of Giza have a limited lifetime.
The one thing that I do find that actually angers me is the amount of change around the place I grew up. Development has accelerated to a grotesque pace all around. Once there were quiet roads and mysterious places but they are nearly gone. This was certainly the case when I was born around here...and the old timers have complained about it for as long as I can remember. However every corner there is a marsh, a field, a place with no people, it is bulldozed into a flat field and populated with chintzy (not inexpensive though) gaudy crappy modern construction. Part of this is beyond our control, but the landowners and developers develop and develop and develop destroying everything unique to a place. This is true everywhere I go, I feel it most acutely where I grew up and where I see it sporadically. Every inch of ground has power lines, railroad cuts, newly widened roads, and strip mall after strip mall. This is an unsustainable system. Eventually there will be nothing left, and the hoards of people like locusts will move into the "new areas" and leave the old to become the next ghetto. Humans are selfish and miserable. IN particular I have a gripe with the development of large, high end houses, high up in the scenic areas destroying what little of what made the area pretty, A particularly douchey estate has multiple driveways, gates (made of fake stone despite the fact that Rockland County is named for its abundance of glacial debris!) and probably 10,000 sq ft of space and acres of property, all neatly cleared of trees. This is a particular personality I dislike the most....the self-made man who will whore himself and move on to the next town in 5 years when he has fraudulently promoted himself as "talent" worthy of millions of dollars and millions more when he loses the company tens of millions and leaves. He will gobble up precious land elsewhere so he can pretend he has a set of balls and not just wealthy family and connections. But I diverge. This is an old complaint but at least the robber barons of yesteryear built houses and estates worthy of seeing 150+ years later. Nobody will every appreciate a 10,000 sq ft McMansion with fake wood siding, plastic interior trim moldings and all the phony prefab crap called building materials today. IN my town the railroad rammed its railroad through wherever they wanted. The brick companies dug out important tidal marshes nearby ruining the waterfront. Most egregiously the marsh was converted into a dump, Mostly run by organized crime who buried garbage and hazardous waste in return for a hefty profit, which as best as I can determine funded other crime schemes and gaudy lifestyles. The money from all these ventures is gone, the families are gone the benefits to the town are gone. However we do have billions of dollars in closed factories and environmental degradation..so that now the town has to turn to corporate whore McMansion builders who build in the hillside to feed their ego for a few years till they move on.
Our impermanence is perhaps the point to more deeply consider. We should live and enjoy the time and place we have and attempt to leave a small footprint for the next generation to be able to explore the hidden corners and mysterious places.

This was in the run up bay when I arrived so must have been waiting for me. Departing to Klagenfurt.

This Hubble image features a massive cluster of brightly glowing galaxies, first identified as Abell 3192. Like all galaxy clusters, this one is suffused with hot gas that emits powerful X-rays, and it is enveloped in a halo of invisible dark matter. All this unseen material – not to mention the many galaxies visible in this image – comprises such a huge amount of mass that the galaxy cluster noticeably curves spacetime around it, making it into a gravitational lens. Smaller galaxies behind the cluster appear distorted into long, warped arcs around the cluster’s edges.
The galaxy cluster is in the constellation Eridanus, but the question of its distance from Earth is a more complicated one. Abell 3192 was originally documented in the 1989 update of the Abell catalog of galaxy clusters that was first published in 1958. At that time, Abell 3192 was thought to comprise a single cluster of galaxies, concentrated at a single distance. However, further research revealed something surprising: the cluster’s mass seemed to be densest at two distinct points rather than one.
It was subsequently shown that the original Abell cluster is actually comprised of two independent galaxy clusters – a foreground group around 2.3 billion light-years from Earth, and another group at the greater distance of about 5.4 billion light-years from our planet. The more distant galaxy cluster, included in the Massive Cluster Survey as MCS J0358.8-2955, is central in this image. The two galaxy groups are thought to have masses equivalent to around 30 trillion and 120 trillion times the mass of the Sun, respectively. Both of the two largest galaxies at the center of this image are part of MCS J0358.8-2955; the smaller galaxies you see here, however, are a mixture of the two groups within Abell 3192.

This shot is from last summer, but I find that I keep going back to it. This is the Courthouse of Lincoln County, Kansas, in the town of Lincoln. It's a beautiful old courthouse, built of local limestone in 1900.
Below is a shot of the lovely curved benches in the courtroom on the second floor.
So this is my favorite sign in all of Madison, except maybe the one that says Perfect Body and is an auto body shop. But this is the one I shot. :-D

This will be Part 1 of an ongoing series documenting the sporadic increase of "foreign" power on UP rails in Utah. For this first installment, lets dive back to just two weeks ago.
On June 14th, I received word that an all CN consist was yet again on the UEPJU1-11, an exact repeat of a train that passed through the state last year in April.
With a bit of luck due to mechanical issues, leading to the addition of a UP loco, I was able to intercept the train west of Evanston, WY. We picked up the chase west of town at the County Road 111 grade crossing. One thing that immediately caught our eyes was the use of the marker lights, a feature unique to a very small number of freight railroads.
Train: UEPJU1-11 (Unit Ethanol-Sioux City, IA, to Port Stockton, CA)
Consist:
CN 8929 (SD70M-2)
CN 8017 (SD70M-2)
CN 5772 (SD75I)
UP 8984 (SD70AH)
Another Snake Eyes Custom :D
I modified his original head because I never liked so much the "mouthsculpt"
I think now it's quite better
What about think guys?

This M6x40 bolt has had a little accident with our 400mm circular bladed cordwood saw, which we use to cut firewood. Apparently this little guy was overlooked by the operator. We found it inside the saw, while replacing the blade. It has been chewed up pretty bad.
You should view this on black.
This trolley was built by the J.G Brill Company in Philadelphia, PA in 1926. Retired in 1976, it now resides in Scranton, PA as part of the Electric City Trolley Museum collection in active excursion service.
In this scene, the conductor chats with a passenger before boarding the next trip out the Laurel Line.
The conductors on these excursions are Delaware Lackawanna Railroad employees and motormen are Museum employees. I briefly spoke with the conductor who said he also works other jobs on the DL including freight but noted this trolley service is his job 9 months out of the year. I didn't ask but I'll bet his seniority on the DL conductor list is a low single digit, possibly even a narrow one oriented in a vertical direction...
This is how I decided to represent a conversation through photography. Not the usual faces and expressions, but street photography instead. I hope you like it.
This portrait and lingerie shoot with Kay took place in the streets and parks of Nottingham.

took a picture of dad this morning and had some fun in photoshop :)
Umbrella with 580EX to my right and reflector to my left to lift the shadows (although I gave them a bit more depth in the end). Easypeasy, but I didn't attempt to use the background because my dad wanted this sort of halo effect which I don't know how to bring out without the extra strobe - and my walls aren't blue :) Ironing shirts is pretty easy, just put an empty layer on top to luminous blending mode and pick the right white for the shirt and start painting over on low opacity...
