I´m not really ready for spring and such.
I want snow, and more skiing still.
Getting nostalgic and found this shot from Åre, five years ago.
Just a couple that I ran across this morning from 2014 that caught my eye.
This one was on my way home from working in New Orleans. I remember slamming on the brakes to pull over and snap a few... :)
SOMEWHERE you and I remember we came.
Stairways from the sea and our heads dripping.
Ladders of dust and mud and our hair snarled.
Rags of drenching mist and our hands clawing, climbing.
You and I that snickered in the crotches and corners, in the gab of our first talking.
Red dabs of dawn summer mornings and the rain sliding off our shoulders summer afternoons.
Was it you and I yelled songs and songs in the nights of big yellow moons?

Throwback to one of my older goth looks in the past.

Part of my small collection of old cameras. The Brownie Hawkeye is special because my grandfather had that type of camera when I was a kid and I was fascinated with him documenting the life of our family.

#throwbackthursday got me thinking and I realized that it's kind of funny that my good camera prior to about 2016 was a film point and shoot. I got it out over my cheap digicams when I wanted higher quality photos that I didn't want to lose to the things that digital files are susceptible to. It's funny, that's a big part of why I still prefer film for family events despite having a great DSLR now.
Camera: Samsung Maxima 105GL
Film: Fuji Superia 400
Looking for a throwback photo to post and ran across this one from the LSU stadium, taken back in 2014. It caught my eye because it's so unlike most of my other photos, which usually center on nature.
Back when AYMO was still called AYMO and was still a reliable midday train, I found it moseying into Shirley on a hazy afternoon. The autoracks seen strung along the curve in the background were also a fixture of AYMO in that era; nowadays, they're handled by SAED.
The standard-cab Dash 8 on the point was also a throwback, to a time when the NS roster was a lot more interesting than it is now.
Metroline VP345 (LR52BOU) & VP332 (LR52BNJ) arrive in convoy at Harrow Town Centre heading towards Harrow Weald on the 182, whilst VP323 (LR52BMU) heads away to Brent Cross.
Throwback to a time long ago when the B7 VPs were dominant in Harrow on the 140, 182, 640 & H12. In the space of two years only three VPs remain in use, that being VP614, 620 & 628, now sadly all to be withdrawn imminently following the loss of the H12 to London Sovereign on 01-Sept.
Some younger or newer W&LE fans seeing this will have a hard time believing that you used to be able to see across the field from Gambrinus yard to the main. Now the main is a narrow trough through a forest. This is a southbound train bypassing the yard bound for Brewster in October 1984 several years before this was all sold to the W&LE. The observant will see the roundhouse still in place off to the far left.
One thing I fondly remember of him was he is
an attention seeker. He doesn't stop pawing me
until he gets the attention. He would sometimes stand up
touch my shoulders ( when I'm seated down ) if he would not get attention pawing me leg. If I stay much longer through the
night , he normally stays with me. If on my laptop. he stays / sits beside my laptop or even wants between me and my laptop, which can be annoying but sweet, just attention seeking.He often try to lay his little head on my arm like a pillow whilst I'm typing. If I stay much longer til the morning, there my cat stays with me. I go to bed , he goes to bed. He sleeps at the furniture near me or down the bottom on my bed, by my feet.
I missed him a lot. One reassuring thought, he picked me well to adopt him . He was given love and care in the years being with us . I cooked him fresh cat food and his chicken fav. I was his bedding . I was also his chef :) I missed my fur bag friend so much, he is a lovely soul. It was the end of him, but it's not the end to nothingness. Sometime in the future , when everything will be renewed, I will see him again.

I will reciprocate all those who commented / fav in my last 3 photos I posted a month ago . Apologies for the delay.
Thank you very much for the visit on my photo stream.
I hope everything is well with you.

I meant to upload today but I always get this messages of "retry" a hundred times . An ongoing flickr upload problem left for many days. This has been a problem for weeks to some people, but flickr haven't done to fixed to fix it .
If you have this experience out there, you're not alone.
Another throwback to the ol' gallery. This was the time I got all my friends (Some were more acquaintances) to fit on the double-decker couch.
It's a bit of a reminder of all the friends I had then. Unfortunately a lot of them are gone now... So, here's hoping I'll be making some friends here! :D
Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, Guilford has gotten some fame as one of the last holdouts for GP9s in the northeast, with most of the local jobs around Waterville being covered by a pair of them. Fast forward fifteen years, and most of them have been retired, but somehow, three have somehow managed to stick around, and two have even been painted in heritage colors. Two of the three survivors, Boston & Maine painted 77, and Guilford painted 72, haul SAPPI-3 west along the Kennebec River, filling the hillsides with the sweet music of their 567 engines.

This hardware store has been in continual operation for over 100 years in Chestnut Hill, PA. This road, Germantown Avenue, still has stone roadways and trolley car tracks (the trolleys don't run anymore). The store still has the old, creaky wooden floors and ancient shelving. And virtually anything you could want from a hardware store.

The end of a damp October day is near as Finger Lakes Railway GS2 rumbles west through Seneca Falls, NY with there New York Central inspired painted locomotives on NYC tracks passing NYC structures.
Throwback Thursday: one of my earlier attempts at night photography, 2015, when the night bug was starting to hit me hard, lol. It’s interesting to see the changes in techniques and, more importantly, changes in my own personal taste and aesthetics over time. The details are somewhat obscure because I was using a Nikon 14-24 mm lens on a Canon camera, but I think this was done at 14 mm, f2.8, 30 sec, ISO 6400. This is also an early use of Low Level Lightning.
One from what feels like a millennia ago, well, 2014 :) I spent 90 minutes in the freezing cold Lake Wanaka with leaky waders, seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, this is one of the shots captured on that fortunate night.
To remember a time when sitting on a tree wasn't so offensive...
