Rail track repair at the Korntal station. Photographed with a Minolta MD 300mm f/4.5 telephoto lens on Fujifilm Provia 100F (RDPIII), Camera body: X-700
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.
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.
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.
this is the track we were faced with on day 5 of the hike. high altitudes are not for the faint-hearted.

Edmonton Dunvegan and British Columbia (ED and BC) Railway grade, north of Sexsmith, Alberta 1920. Note the poles used as ties. It appears that track repair is in progress. The passengers are watching the process as Eng. No. 23 waits in the background. Photo courtesy Provincial Archives of Alberta (PA18315).
Recently cleared/mowed railroad right-away in Wheeling, WV. Former Wheeling Terminal Railroad track that served industries in South Wheeling. The track passed under 28th Street before entering/exiting the Wheeling Terminal Railroad Tunnel (seen in center of photograph), August 2010.
"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."
