After almost a month of not doing anything with the track bed, I decided to start cleaning up and removing all of the weed, unwanted plants and rocks. Slowly improving.

I regret never riding this frame. Sold on eBay for the prices of the Inflated Track Bike Scandal of 2007 as it will be known in 5 years.
Three sets of tracks head toward Folsom and El Dorado Hills. The paired electric line is the Sacramento Light Rail while the third line on the right is the former SP Placerville Branch, now a UP industrial lead that ends at the Hazel Light Rail station. The yellow approach signal is for the switch where tracks merge to form single track for the remainder of the line out to Folsom. The red signal in the distance is a stop indication at that switch for an approaching westbound movement. The UP branch services Schnitzer Steel in the distance, a metals recycling operation, that has been moving weekly carloads of scrap metal. The west-facing switch requires a run around move on tracks just west of Hazel Ave. The weekly turn runs on Monday afternoon.
The delipidated George Gill Paper Company, Holyoke Mass. The tracks in the foreground belong to the Pioneer Valley Railroad. The track on the left is the Horn Track, this section last being used in 2003. The track on the right is the sidetrack that served Linweave Paper.
this is the track we were faced with on day 5 of the hike. high altitudes are not for the faint-hearted.
new zealand, south island - 2009/2010
I’m starting to better understand the variables involved in soap bubble macros. And there are lots of variables. Lens focal length. Amount of extension tubes. Angle of shooting. Distance between camera and bubble. Size of the bubble. Age of the bubble. Static bubble or wind blown. Liquid recipe (varying amounts of water, dish soap, and glycerin). On and on. Endless experimentation.
This bubble is pretty small - perhaps about 1 inch in height. It was created in the bottom of a plastic 35mm film canister (you remember those, right?), so it has a base diameter of about 1.25 inches. Shot with a 100mm macro lens coupled with a 36mm extension tube. The bubble is nearing the end of its life cycle, and will soon dry out and bust.
This is, to me, the best ride in Epcot! The highlight of this attraction is the speed trial on a track around the exterior of the Test Track building at a top speed of 65 miles per hour (104.6 km/h) on a 50-degree banked curve, making it the fastest Disney theme park attraction ever built.
"During World War II, Japanese built railways in the border territory of Thailand and Burma and in Sumatra. For these constructions they recruited prisoners of war (POW) and Asian civilians, known as the Romushas.
The life and work conditions of these forced laborers were very miserable. More than 60,000 POWs, among them 18,000 Dutch, worked on the 414 kilometers long railway in Burma. About 20% of this number of people died during the construction. Around 6,500 POWs, most of them Dutch, were recruited for the railway construction in Pekanbaru. One third of these did not make it until the end of the war. According to experts, 80% to 90% of 100,000 Javanese forced laborers in Pekanbaru and 160,000 Romushas in Birma died during the construction of the railways at both places.
More than fifty years later, Jan Banning tried to trace survivors of the railway constructions. The result of it is the "Tracks of War", which consists of a series of photos and text of 24 survivors who worked as forced laboreres in one of those railway constructions. Jan Banning photographed 16 Dutch and Eurasian survivors and 8 former Romushas, now living in Sumatra and Java.
During the conversation and photo session, Jan Banning led these men back to their lives during the war. They are photographed in the way they worked those days: stripped to the waist."
