It's fun to go back to older photos once in a while and play around with them, so here's a black and white panning shot of Corey Elkins for your day in between games. Game 5 of the Liiga semi-finals tomorrow at Nordis, will you be there?

Just for the Followers - To be deleted soon.
Who in the world is that skinny guy with the backpack and the old Cannon AE1 around his neck. How bout that black hair, short shorts, and ugly shoes. Seems like I've had a camera around my neck forever. ( At least since age 6 ). No matabout 43ter where I go to this day, I always seem to strike up a conversation with a park ranger. Taken at the National Zoo in 1976. Just about 43 years ago.
This week we are going back forty-two years to 1984 and to KD 288 in Balbriggan, dressed for route 33B to Portrane.
Balbriggan, of course, is not served by route 33B but by route 33. CIE took over this route from the GNR(I) in 1958. It provided a connection between the city centre and Skerries via Rush, with certain departures extended to Balbriggan. CIE took over route 33B from the GNR(I) in the same year. That route connected Swords and Portrane, although it had no route number between 1958 and 1972. From 1975 to 2002, certain departures were extended to the city centre. Go-Ahead Ireland took over route 33B in 2018.
There was a departure on route 33, in each direction, that ran between the city centre and Balbriggan, going via Donabate and Portrane. This started in 1966 when a new secondary school opened in Rush. In 2002 the afternoon trip from Balbriggan via Portrane on the 33 was cancelled, and in 2003 the morning trip from Dublin was shortened to Skerries. In 2018 the Portrane 33 was renumbered 33E.
KD 288 was new to CIE in 1982. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in the late-1990s.

My first throw back is CP 299 running north in Des Plaines with a SOO SD60, ex-BN SD40-2, and a SOO SD60M
Throwback Thursday and a photo from 2015 of wall art in our (rental) condo in Zihuantanejo Mexico; I've always loved their whimsical art (from Diego Rivera's life size murals in the National Palace in the capital to this take on marriage by an unknown artist).
Today is the start of a trio of well known celebrations: All Hallows Eve or Halloween, All Saints Day (Nov 1) and one of my favourites Dia de los Muertos (Nov 1-2).
And of course, these three days of celebration will be followed up by a US election...whew, that is a lot of action over the next few days. Be safe out there. :D
This week we are going back twenty-four years to 1999, to a bus that has featured here before, on the same route and in the same location. Except this time there is a better view of the bus.
99 D 73675 is seen in Ringsend and was a DAF Plaxton demonstrator built in 1997. Converted to run on liquified petroleum gas, it was trialled with a few operators in the United Kingdom (as P10 LPG) as well as Dublin Bus. After it returned to the United Kingdom, it was converted to diesel power and operated with Arriva until around 2013.
The bus is operating a service on route 3 to Larkhill, although the destination blind is missing the "h". Route 3 started operating between Whitehall / Larkhill and Sandymount in 1940. For its final twenty years or so of operation, certain departures were extended to / from UCD Belfield. The route was partially replaced on the by new route 1 in 2012 which covered the southside leg through Ringsend and Sandymount. In 2021 this part of the routing was replaced by routes C1 and C2.
Ringsend, 19/10/1999
Beginning with his Masters Thesis paintings in the mid-1940’s and continuing through the mid-1950’s, artist Ted DeGrazia produced a small number of nonrepresentational abstract oils, watercolors, and screen prints. Although these pure abstracts account for less than one half of one percent of his known work, DeGrazia repeatedly explored the style and devoted serious attention to it for more than a decade. Happy Throwback Thursday!
There is a lot I could say about this photo of Thomas Boldman on his personal motorcar in Kentland, Indiana in the 1920's. The Boldman family worked on this line from start to finish. They helped build it in the CI&S days, worked primarily as track inspectors or in some aspect of water tower and pumphouse employees. They worked on this line mostly between Sheff and Schneider. The photo above shows Thomas in the morning after setting his motorcar on the tracks near Allen street, which looks like where it was taken from looking north. He lived 2 blocks away and after #80 would go north, he would set on and ride to Sheff to work the pumphouse. He had no protection and no authority and allegedly had many "Close Calls" with extras.
The Boldman family built, maintained and unfortunately, dismantled the Egyptian line.
The photograph is believed to have been taken by Wilmer Boldman. Photo looks north at the northbound home signal.
Throwback Thursday will be photos from the Boldman family collection of the NYC's Egyptian line.
This week we are going back twelve years to 2013, and to GT 125 on Hawkins Street dressed for route 68.
The DUTC started operating the route in 1934. The 68 runs from the city centre to Newcastle (in west Dublin), going via Clondalkin. In 2006 it was extended slightly further to the Greenogue Business Park at the southern end of Newcastle. In 2011 it was slightly modified under Network Direct to go via Bulfin Road as a partial replacement for route 19.
GT 125 was new to Dublin Bus in 2013. In 2018 it migrated to Go-Ahead Ireland and became 11907.
Beside the bus is the former Department of Health, which was located in Hawkins House. It was demolished in 2021, and the site is being redeveloped.

***Decided to merge images from my old Flickr account with my current account. Photos and descriptions from 2007-2009.
Location: Chicago, IL
I visited Taste of Chicago and decided to stop by Chicago's stunning Crown Fountain. There were too many people out now that it is warm. I am kinda missing the cold now because this heat/humidity is killing me. I guess that I will never be satisfied.
This shot was taken of one of the dozens of dozens of kids playing in the fountain. Testing out my new trusty 135L.
4th of 5 photos taken on New York Central's (nee-CI&S) Egyptian Line at Sheff, Indiana in 1914 showing the completion of the watering facilities. In this photo, the view appears to be looking S/E from an area south of the tower about 1/2 mile or so, showing the newly installed standpipe on the east side of the main.
